You Long stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to wrap things up.

The owner raised his eyebrow: "Mr. You Long, what are you daydreaming about? Give me the money and you can take the jade!"

You Long hesitated: "Uh... I didn't bring that much money."

"You can swipe a card."

"There's not that much money in the card either."

The owner frowned and asked coldly: "Could it be that the famous Mr. You Long is a fake tycoon? You don't actually have that much money?"

"I... I really don't. I didn't expect to push the price up so high!"

Continuing to pretend would be even more embarrassing, You Long's face turned red as he nodded.

Liu Zixuan sneered: "So, after all, you're just a fake tycoon!"

"If you didn't have money, you should have said so earlier. Why are you causing a scene here and wasting my time for business! I even advised this gentleman not to compete with you!"

The owner immediately changed his tone and responded to You Long with cold words.

You Long grinned a bit, standing aside without speaking.

The owner looked at Liu Zixuan, smiling obsequiously: "Then, sir, since You Long can't afford it, this jade is yours!"

"It's mine, but not at this auction price; it was a farcical auction in the first place." Liu Zixuan shrugged.

The owner's face instantly changed, his smile froze, and it seemed the dream of traveling the world with his family vanished.

He chuckled awkwardly: "You're right, let's stick with the four million I initially mentioned!"

"One and a half million." Liu Zixuan shook his head, internally sneering, thinking that no one has yet successfully ripped him off, and this cunning merchant still tries to show off his petty tricks in front of him?

One and a half million was the base price, and even then, the owner would make a small profit.

"One and a half million is too little. Are you speaking nonsense?" the owner said unhappily.

"One point two million. If you sell, I'll take it; if not, I'll visit other stores. This street sells jade, and I reckon quality jade isn't scarce."

As Liu Zixuan spoke, he prepared to leave with Liu Ruyan.

"Wait... don't go." The owner quickly stopped Liu Zixuan; the jade trade is similar to gambling on stones.

Stores like these might not open often, but they earn half a year's worth of money when they do. If Liu Zixuan leaves, he might not open for half a year, and he would be at a loss!

"What?" Liu Zixuan asked, pretending to be calm.

"One and a half million! I'll sell it!" The owner gritted his teeth, knowing that today, Liu Zixuan is the real winner!

"One point two million! Don't haggle with me anymore!"

"Consider it a gesture of friendship!" The owner was really swallowing his pride, utterly hating You Long at this moment.

If he hadn't appeared and turned it into a hilarious auction, perhaps it would have sold for four million back then; but now... it's thirty thousand lower than his expected one and a half million!

Liu Zixuan took out a card and swiped it on the machine, wrapped the jade, and handed it to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan secretly gave Liu Zixuan a thumbs up.

Liu Zixuan smiled proudly, patting the owner's shoulder and saying, "Being friends with me won't do you any harm. I'll often be in Ghost Wood City in the future, and if I need to buy jade, I'll come to you first!"

"Okay, okay, what's your name?" the owner asked.

"Liu Zixuan!"

With that, Liu Zixuan left with Liu Ruyan towards the exit.

But just as they reached the door, You Long blocked their way.

Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrow: "What? Not satisfied?"

"Do you think I'd be satisfied?"

You Long said with a dark face: "I'm a well-known figure here in this area, and today I lost so much face because of you. Do you think I'll let you leave so easily?"

"What? Want to spar with me?" Liu Zixuan rubbed his wrist.

"Rough!"

You Long glanced disdainfully, saying: "My clinic is nearby. I lost to you in terms of money just now, but Miss Ruyan said you're also a doctor; I want to compete with you in medical skills!"

You Long indeed boasted quite a bit just now about money, and maybe excessively, but he's very confident in his medical skills.

After all, his professor title was earned through real abilities.

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, initially wanting to refuse, because there was indeed no need to compete with such an immature guy.

But thinking he'll soon be moving to Ghost Wood City, with Jiang Yiyi, Zhu Yijiang, and Liu Ruyan taking care of the lingerie business, he would naturally have more free time.

His main profession is still a doctor, and when he arrives in Ghost Wood City, he will definitely still work in his old line of work.

It would be better to take this opportunity to scout the situation around here.

He smiled and said to You Long: "I can go with you, but since it's a competition, there should be some stakes. Otherwise, it won't be fun!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" You Long nodded, determined to redeem himself in terms of medical skills and not repeatedly embarrass himself in front of the beautiful Liu Ruyan!

"If you lose, stay away from Miss Ruyan."

Liu Zixuan smiled when he heard it: "Then if you lose?"

"I won't lose!"

You Long said proudly: "Star Sea C25 Hospital is ranked in the top three in Star Sea, and this year, at only 26 years of age, I've earned the title of professor there. Do you think my medical skills can't be called genius?"

"Do you think a genius like me would lose?"

Liu Zixuan grinned: "You boasted just like that earlier, and still lost! So, stop showing off in front of me, if you lose, hand over your clinic to me."

"Fine." You Long hesitated not at all because he believed, he certainly wouldn't lose!

"Alright, lead the way." Liu Zixuan gestured with his hand.

You Long didn't hesitate for a moment, getting straight into his car.

But... what was shocking is that the supposed luxury car worth millions was actually just a thirty to fifty thousand SUV!

Standing by the car door, he gestured to Liu Ruyan: "Miss Ruyan, come ride with me. It's so hot; my car has air conditioning!"

What he meant was that his nice car had air conditioning and Liu Zixuan's broken car probably didn't.

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "No need, we have a car!"

Saying that, she and Liu Zixuan got into the conspicuous Land Rover beside them, and once the young couple got in the Land Rover, they immediately attracted the eyes of many passers-by.

It seems that a successful man driving a Land Rover is now a popular trope.

People initially thought this was some big boss's car, but now they were surprised to find out it's actually owned by this young guy Liu Zixuan!

After they got into the car, You Long quickly made his way to his car, flushed all over with embarrassment. He'd been planning to mock Liu Zixuan's car but didn't expect it to be better than his own!

Liu Ruyan chuckled: "I really want to know who gave him the courage to compete with you!"
