Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 317

Right then, another item was brought out for the auction, and it was a female palace dress. According to the introduction of the host, it was an item that had originated from the palace of the Qing Dynasty. The starting price was set at five million yuan.

Once the price was announced, the room instantly became a little quiet. There was actually no one bidding on this item. This atmosphere formed a stark contrast with the previous lively scene.

The people who were there participating in the auction were mostly from the inner circle of collectors, and they knew something about items like this. Even if they didn't know much about the matter, they would bring their purveying specialist with them.

Therefore, almost everyone in the hall could see that this royal dress was really not worth that much.

First of all, the appearance of this dress was not well preserved. It was in tatters, and many large pieces had fallen off. It didn't look good at all.

Secondly, it was the palace attire of the Qing

Dynasty. It wasn't historical enough, and there were many items from that era, so it was not very valuable.

The host had been advertising this item for a long time, but in the end, no one bid on it. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Everyone shook their heads and was waiting for this item to be auctioned off. After all, no one was interested in it.

Shawn Liang had an idea and said, "Old Tu, why are you so quiet today? You haven't bid on anything yet. Can it be that you can't tell the good from the bad, so you can't make your decisions? Why don't you let your purveying specialist have a look at this item?"

Old Mr. Tu was annoyed. Everyone could see that this dress was worthless, but Shawn encouraged him to make a move. Obviously, he wanted him to be the victim.

Just as Old Mr. Tu was about to refuse, Fade Chen, who was right beside him, stopped him suddenly. Then, he raised his card and said, "Six million, I'll pay six million to buy this dress."

As soon as the words came out, the crowd was suddenly stunned, and then there was the buzzing sound of discussion.

"Now that he's provoked by Shawn, he finally put out a bid!"

"He's really still too young, he hasn't learnt how to be patient yet!"

"In my opinion, Old Mr. Tu made a mistake this time. He has hired a fake specialist."

"Bidding was alright. But that guy added one million yuan in one go. Money can't be spent this way!"

Shawn laughed happily, with a sarcastic smile on his face. He said, "Old Tu, your purveying specialist is really amazing! No one wants to buy this item, but he was able to tell at a glance that it's unusual. He even bid a million more on it. It's really eye-opening indeed, how admirable!"

Old Mr. Tu was so angry he wanted to refute him. But when he thought of Fade's move, he was immediately puzzled as well.

Shawn was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to satirize his long time enemy. Looking at Master Qi beside him, he deliberately said loudly, "Master Qi, you have a keen eye. Can you tell us what's so special about this dress? Why did Mr. Chen raise the bid by one million?"

He wanted to ridicule Fade, and he was trying to replace ways to slam him a few more times!

Master Qi coughed, then stood up and said in a clear voice, "This dress is indeed the palace dress of the Qing Dynasty. But the style and cutting of this dress is very common. It's something ordinary palace maids would wear, and there's really nothing special about it. Moreover, the quality and appearance of this dress is too poor, which depletes the value of this dress significantly. If you meet a buyer that likes it, I think that it would be worth three million yuan."

As soon as he said that, the crowd became jolly again. They glanced at Master Qi and Fade.

"That is true. I also think that this dress is worthless!"

"Master Qi has already spoken. That kid will suffer a great loss."

"If it was just an ordinary buyer, the loss would totally just be a loss. But if he is a purveying specialist, and he bought this item and suffered a loss, who else would hire him as a purveying specialist in the future?"

"That's right. Not only did this kid lower his own reputation, he also caused Old Mr. Tu to be disrespected. Such a laughing stock!"

The sighs and mocking words kept on coming, but Fade simply ignored them and he did not care about their opinions at all. Nevertheless, he went up to the stage, signed the documents, and took the dress. Seeing that, everyone shook their heads and sighed again.

"Don't sign it! If you refuse to sign, you just have to pay some penalty, and you can still choose not to bid on it."

"If you sign the sales contract right now, six million yuan will be spent! This means you will lose three million yuan."

"The loss is more than three million! Didn't you just hear what Master Qi said? The dress can only be sold for three million if you meet a buyer who likes it. This guy won't be able to sell the dress he purchased

!"

Right at this moment, Fade suddenly made a shocking move.

He took the shabby dress in his hands and shook it violently as though it was an ordinary dress.

Immediately, a few pieces of rags fell off from the dress.

Then, before the crowd could recover from the shock, Fade took action right away again. With a fierce tug, he tore the dress in his hands and turned them into rags. These rags would've been too worn out to even be considered as cloths for mopping.

The crowd was dumbfounded and couldn't stop sighing.

"What is he doing? Why did he tear up the dress?" "There's no need to tear up the dress though! He can at least sell it if he'd kept it nicely! Even if the dress can't sell for three million, it can still sell for two million, or even one million, right?"

"I think he is way too rich, so he came here on purpose to show off his wealth."

"He's just a young lad. It's fine if he doesn't have any purveying skills, but he can't even control his temper. What kind of purveying specialist is he?"

"This time, Old Mr. Tu has really been fooled by that boy big time. He has lost respect from everybody!"

Amongst the sarcastic voices, Shawn was full of smiles. He said, "Old Tu, please console your purveying specialist. Even if he was scolded, there's no need to tear things up. After all, the dress is still considered an antique, and it's valuable somehow."

Old Mr. Tu wanted to argue, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he himself was also completely shocked by Fade's behaviour.

Right at this moment, Fade took the strips of cloth in his hand and groped around the sleeves, where he seemed to have found a string. He then pinched the string and began to pull it hard. Fade pulled out a very thin silk thread from the dress.

Fade wrapped the string with his hands carefully. Only then did the crowd manage to seethe string clearly.

The silk was translucent, white, and had a glittering quality. It was as thin as a quarter of a hair, yet it was also very tough. When Fade pulled it out forcefully, it did not break. Moreover, the amazing thing was, right when the water vapor around the silk approaches the silk thread, it turned into a layer of hazy mist, creating a unique type of refreshing coolness. Anyone could tell that it was not something ordinary.
