Chapter 1272 - 1272: If You Don’t Want Money, Then What Do You Want?
Shigeru Akita heard everyone’s words getting more and more unpleasant, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face. “I’m just following orders. It’s useless for you to make things difficult for me. In short, if you can’t complete the verification before 5 0’clock, you will lose the qualification to participate in this auction.’
Seeing that everyone wanted to continue, he added, “If anyone dares to cause trouble again, they will be expelled from the auction house immediately!’
Everyone looked at the group of security guards who were eyeing them covetously. In the end, they did not say anything else and took out their phones to raise funds.
Lin Qianqian was not familiar with Japan. Other than asking Ye Feng for help, she could not think of any other way.
“Why isn’t he here yet?” She looked outside and looked down at the time, feeling extremely anxious.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind. “Miss, is there anything 1 can help you with?”
Lin Qianqian turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Shigeru Akita.
Although the man’s smile made her a little uncomfortable, she still maintained a polite smile. “No need, thank you.”
Shigeru Akita’s face was cold, but there was no displeasure on his face. He still looked at her with a smile. “Although I’m just a small manager, I still have a lot of power. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. I can help you.”
Lin Qianqian hesitated for a moment before looking at him. “Hello, Manager Shigeru. I’m a staff member from Maple Leaf Pavilion in China. We really want to participate in this auction, but we don’t have enough funds. How about… Can you make an exception? Give me the entry qualification first, and I’ll make up for it later?”
When Shigeru Akita heard this, he immediately revealed a troubled expression. “We don’t have enough funds. About this…”
Lin Qianqian immediately nodded. “It’s alright. If you find it difficult, then forget it. My friend should be here soon.”
Shigeru Akita smiled. “It’s not too difficult. How much money do you have on hand?”
Lin Qianqian heard that there was still hope. She quickly said, “l have 6 billion now. My friend will send the rest of the money over later. But now that the time for the capital verification is about to end, I’m afraid he won’t be able to make it in time.’
Shigeru Akita nodded as he listened. In the end, he waved his hand and said, “No problem. I can give you the right to enter first. When your friend comes, you just have to make up for the lack of funds.”
Lin Qianqian hurriedly looked around. “Is this considered breaking the rules?”
Shigeru Akita smiled and shook his head. “Don’t worry, I still have this bit of authority. As long as you don’t say it and I don’t say it, no one will know.”
Lin Qianqian was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Akita. Then… shall we go and verify the capital now?”
Shigeru Akita hurriedly stopped her. “There’s no rush.”
Lin Qianqian was confused. “Is there anything else?”
Shigeru Akita’s eyes darted around her. “I’ve done you such a big favor. Aren’t you going to show me some benefits?”
Lin Qianqian frowned when she heard him asking for benefits. “l don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Shigeru Akita’s face darkened. “You Chinese don’t seem to know the rules. I helped you, shouldn’t you thank me?”
Lin Qianqian frowned when she heard him being so direct. “How much do you want?”
Shigeru Akita grinned. “How vulgar is it to talk about money? Can’t you be a little more romantic?”
Lin Qianqian took a step back and looked at him unhappily. “If you don’t want money, then what do you want?”
Shigeru Akita chuckled. “Actually, I don’t want much. I just want you to accompany me for a night.”
Lin Qianqian was instantly enraged. “Pervert!”
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Shigeru Akita hurriedly stopped her and lowered his voice. “I’ve been observing you for a long time. 1 like you very much. This is not a loss for you. You still have to spend money to go to the gigolo shop. I’m very capable in that aspect. I guarantee that I’ll make you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Qianqian could not take it anymore and slapped him.
Pa!
This slap was very loud. Even in the noisy hall, it was exceptionally clear.
The originally noisy hall instantly quieted down. Everyone turned around and looked over.
Shigeru Akita was humiliated in public and instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation.
However, he did not dare to hit a woman in front of so many people. He could only grit his teeth and lower his voice. ‘You lowly Chinese pig, I’m giving you a chance to serve me, and you’re pretending to be innocent? Very good, with me here, you can forget about getting the right to enter!”
After saying that, he walked away angrily.
Lin Qianqian was so angry that her face turned pale. She did not expect to meet such a pervert in such a high-end auction house.
She was both angry and afraid. She was looking forward to Ye Fengs arrival.
She waited at the door for another ten minutes before she finally saw that familiar figure rushing over.
She could not hold it in any longer. She quickly rushed forward and threw herself into Ye Fengs arms.
Ye Feng was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but he felt her body trembling slightly. He immediately felt that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong with you? Who bullied you?”
When Lin Qianqian heard Ye Fengs question, she felt even more aggrieved. Her cries also became louder.
No matter how much he asked, she refused to tell him the reason, because she understood Ye Fengs temper. If he knew the whole story, even if he did not want the right to enter, he would still go and settle the score with Shigeru Akita.
However, they had prepared for this auction for such a long time. If all their previous efforts were to be wasted, she would feel a little unwilling.
Ye Feng comforted her a few more times before she stopped crying.
“I’m fine, it’s just… I just missed you.” Lin Qianqian lowered her head, blushing.
Ye Feng could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Although he could tell that she had other secrets, since she refused to tell him, he did not continue to ask.
“Let’s go. Let’s go verify the capital.”
With that, he pulled her hand and walked toward the counter.
Shigeru Akita had been watching the scene from afar. When he saw Lin Qianqian hugging a man, his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
When the two of them walked over, he immediately pushed away the staff in charge of verifying the capital. “Take a rest first. I’ll help them verify the capital.”
The staff member thought that the leader was considerate of him and immediately thanked him profusely.
At this moment, Ye Feng and Lin Qianqian walked over. “Hello, can you help us check our qualifications?”
Shigeru Akita smiled at Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian’s face immediately turned cold as she turned her head away.
Shigeru Akita did not mind, he turned to look at Ye Feng. “No problem, please show me your proof of funds.”
Ye Feng took the certificate of funds from Lin Qianqian and turned around to pass it to him. “1 have 6 billion Japanese dollars here…”
Shigeru Akita already knew about this. Before he could finish, he raised his hand to interrupt him. “I’m sorry, but according to the rules of this auction, we need at least 10 billion yuan in cash..”
