Chapter 143 - Exorbitant Compensation
Yun Xiangxiang was a minor character in both her lives. She didn’t understand why pride needed to be preserved through this way.
Judging by the economic prowess of Song Mian and Lucifer, neither side would flinch even if the ante was in the hundreds of millions.
Since raising it or not wouldn’t hurt the other side, then why should they fight over it?
The consequence of this kind of fight was Yun Xiangxiang being in the center of the limelight. This kind of gold coin would then see a soar in value!
Yun Xiangxiang would rather lose this kind of limelight than to give the evil capitalistic collectors an advantage.
Not fighting didn’t mean that they didn’t have the strength. It didn’t mean that they were afraid either. It just meant that this was below them.
Not many people in the hall knew Song Mian. However, lots of them knew Lucifer. Almost nobody dared to snatch anything from him.
Anything that Lucifer bidded was sold in a single announcement throughout the whole auction.
She had signed the contracts for the shares and lifelong contract. Rejecting a birthday gift now would seem pretentious. Yun Xiangxiang graciously accepted it, “Thank you.”
Austin wanted to treat Yun Xiangxiang to a meal after they finished talking about business. Yun Xiangxiang declined it politely. She didn’t want to hold him up, and they needed to go back to their country.
Yun Xiangxiang opened the birthday gift Austin gave her after she got into the car. The brilliant jewelry shone so much, her eyes hurt.
It was as she thought. Austin gave her the set of Angel jewelry that she wore during the launch conference to her.
“You aren’t happy even after you got this treasure?” He Wei was amused when he saw Yun Xiangxiang being so down.
“I just think that I shouldn’t receive anything if I didn’t work for it,” Yun Xiangxiang sighed and closed the box.
“You really won’t feel secure if the result isn’t borne from your sweat and blood,” He Wei couldn’t understand how Yun Xiangxiang cultivated this habit. “You have to know that this thing was gained by risking your life.”
She almost lost her life. Even though she didn’t work for it, it didn’t come easily either.
If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to live to enjoy it.
“I feel a bit more secure now that you said it, Brother Wei,” Yun Xiangxiang would feel more justified if she recalled the thrill of that night more.
“There’s another piece of news. “Justice and Selflessness” is now off screen. Its total box office is four hundred and eighty million yuan,” He Wei looked at Yun Xiangxiang while he said that.
“Director Lin Jialiang is probably elated, right?” Yun Xiangxiang smiled brightly.
Four hundred and eighty million wasn’t low. It naturally couldn’t be compared to her previous films’ box office.
Hong Kong films have been in a decline in recent years. Their box office generally wasn’t high in the mainland.
