Shui Yunjun glared at her with her phoenix eyes and said, "You are witnesses, aren't you going to testify?"
When the clan chief spoke, no one dared disobey; they quickly shouted, "Give it to us! Give it to us! We'll be your witnesses!"
I'd rather offend Ning Jun than offend the clan leader!
They understood what was more important!
Yan Ru brought the silly Li Mao to his side, and the farce temporarily came to an end.
Everyone sat down again, Yan Wuming lavishly praised Xie Feng's " Preface to Tengwang Pavilion," then ordered people to circulate it for a while, preparing to frame it and use it as a signboard.
"Dean Xie, I'll buy this article. Name your price!" Yan Wuming said excitedly.
"Talking about money now is too vulgar!"
Xie Feng smiled.
There are too many people here; we'll definitely have to wait until the banquet is over to discuss business!
Seeing Yan Wuming's determined look, even if he refused on the spot, Yan would come over privately to discuss it.
so...
I'm not worried at all about the deal falling through!
Yan Wuming smiled meaningfully, "I understand! I understand! Hahaha! Let's not talk about mundane matters now!"
Yan Ru spoke up, "Dean Xie possesses great talent and exceptional ability. Today, he has composed this article that will be renowned throughout the land. In my opinion, he deserves a reward!"
As he spoke, he tipped 100,000 Dao Crystal!
Yan Ru's servant presented an exquisite jade box, inside which lay a spatial ring containing 100,000 Dao Crystal!
Xie Feng accepted the box with a smile and said, "I will accept Master Yan's kind gesture!"
He accepts any money offered to him!
This kind of thing is endless; the more the better.
After all, he's a money-burning machine...
He wants to raise 800 billion for the Pill Maple Academy, but so far he has only raised a little over 200 billion, which is still far from enough.
Maybe...
This banquet is a golden opportunity to make money!
The article could earn tips. Xie Feng raised his eyelids slightly. There were at least a hundred people present, and if each person gave a tip, it would be a considerable fortune.
Xie Feng and Shui Yunjun exchanged glances, and they communicated silently for a moment.
Shui Yunjun:???
Xie Feng: Master's wife, it's your turn!
Shui Yunjun: I've given you my hidden stash of ten million...
Xie Feng: Do as I say.
Shui Yunjun: What method?
Xie Feng: You're the clan leader, you have a lot of influence, just pretend to lead the others!
Shui Yunjun: Okay!
She nodded, indicating that she understood.
She stepped forward and stood in the center of the crowd. With a slight lift of her sleeve, an exquisite and luxurious black card appeared out of thin air.
" Xiao Xie, your article is excellent and you certainly deserve a reward. This is nine million for your unparalleled talent, but I believe your talent is worth far more than this!"
She raised her eyes, slowly surveyed the crowd, and spoke with a hidden meaning.
Xie Feng took the black card and put it away naturally.
Actually, there's no money in the card!
This is just for show!
Otherwise, how can we get others to willingly spend their money?
after all...
Shui Yunjun is the clan leader!
Her every word and action is subject to wild speculation by others.
"Wow! As expected of the clan leader! Nine million in one go!"
"The clan chief has always been incorruptible; the fact that she has given so much shows her sincerity!"
"The clan leader said that Xie Feng's talent and value are not limited to this, which is an implication that we should be even more generous!"
"We can't afford to lose face!"
"Don't forget, Xie Feng has a very close relationship with the clan leader. The higher the reward he gives, the more satisfied the clan leader will be!"
"If the clan leader is happy, will he promote us and make us rich? Hahaha!"
"You bunch of sycophants! All you know about being scholars is getting promoted and making money! Have you wasted all that time reading the classics? Um, cough cough, anyone got some money? Lend me some!"
Having successfully deciphered the "important intentions," the crowd, driven by various motives—some simple, some not—began a competition to tip.
"Although I am but a scholar, I have lived for hundreds of years and accumulated some wealth; I can certainly afford to give away some money! I offer ten million!"
"Then I'll offer twenty million!"
"Dean Xie is a true genius! Is twenty million a paltry sum? I'll offer forty million!"
"Seventy million! I'll bring out all my savings if necessary! Dean Xie is worth it!"
People started engaging in a frenzy of comparison.
The higher their bid, the happier Xie Feng became.
Amid the lively atmosphere, one person in the back felt extremely uncomfortable.
The Xiao Tianzi!
Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
I'm so restless!
Damn it!
He had only come to a banquet, but unexpectedly, he ran into Xie Feng again.
Well, if we've met, we've met. But why are we starting to tip?
Isn't this just making him lose money?
But it was given to Xie Feng anyway!
He hadn't forgotten that last night, someone came to Floating World Bank and immediately asked about 800 billion!
He really wanted to escape...
The Xiao Tianzi shifted restlessly, glancing towards the door. He absolutely had to find an excuse to slip away, or he would definitely become the sucker!
Seizing the opportunity, while everyone was getting up and coming to Xie Feng's table to shower him with compliments, Xiao Tianzi quietly stood up, crouched down, and walked towards the door!
Meanwhile, the bounty was still rising.
"I'll offer three hundred million!"
General Wang's booming voice resounded throughout the pavilion.
Everyone was stunned.
Three hundred million!
As expected of the Chief General, he's rich and awesome!
Although the Literary Clan values Literary Dao and treats civil officials well, Shui Yunjun also emphasizes balancing the civil and military paths, and provides military officials with very considerable salaries as well.
General Wang is a leading figure in Martial Dao, with a very high annual salary. Therefore, even if he takes out hundreds of millions of Dao Crystal, he can do so with a clear conscience, and others will not speculate wildly.
At this moment, Xie Feng's hands were piled high with various Dao Crystal Cards, a dazzling array of colors and styles, all sharing one common characteristic—
There's money inside!
Lots and lots of money!
Xie Feng's lips curled up slightly. At that moment, Kong Qiusu thought to himself, "Junior brother, you seem to really like money?"
Xie Feng countered, "Don't you like it?"
Kong Qiusu said, "This kind of thing gets boring after a while."
Xie Feng said, "You've achieved great success, while I'm still starting my own business. We're not the same!"
Kong Qiusu said, "I understand."
As time passed, most people in the Tengwang Pavilion gave their tips. Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Tianzi had already quietly made his way to the door, and was now only a step away from the outside...
"Isn't this Boss Xiao?! You haven't tipped yet, have you? Come over here, come over here! Why is your seat so far away? Was this how I arranged it?"
Yan Wuming saw him and quickly greeted him.
Xiao Tianzi sighed inwardly; he had gone to great lengths to get here!
We'll be able to get out soon!
Fate is unpredictable!
Yan Wuming invited Xiao Tianzi to the center of the crowd and introduced him with great enthusiasm:
"Everyone knows Xiao Tianzi, right? He's the owner of the world's number one money exchange, Floating World Bank! Dean Xie, let me tell you, he's rolling in money, you can rip him off!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Xiao Tianzi's legs went weak, and he felt like he couldn't stand up.
This lord is truly a divine assist!
He was ripped off by Xie Feng for 600 million yesterday!
Are you coming again today?
Has anyone considered his feelings?!
