Currently, everyone was staring at the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup like they were staring at a bar of gold. There was greed in their eyes, exposing the longing in their hearts. This was especially the case for the fat man from yesterday. After hearing the night before that the soup allowed the thin man from yesterday to have sex with three women consecutively, he was here again today. After all, he could not stand to lose to that man. I have to get that soup today, he thought ferociously to himself, clutching tightly onto the armrest of his chair with his right hand. The determination on his face grew more and more obvious. In the meantime, Luna stood off to one side and she had a smile on her face as she looked at the people in the room before lightly calling out, “Given yesterday’s bid, we are starting at 500,000 for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup today.” “Wow!” There was an uproar from the crowd once they heard the price. Faces of surprise stared up at her but when they remembered that the soup went for 510,000 yesterday, they all smacked their lips and fell silent, not daring to speak up. Once he saw that the people around him weren’t speaking, the fat man let out a cold laugh and slammed his hand on the table with a jiggle of his flesh, saying, “Are you all backing out over a puny 500,000? I bid 600,000!” I’m not going to lose, even if I’m doing it for no other reason than my ego, he thought as his eyes narrowed. Instantly, the people around him gaped at him. Surely, he is being too ruthless! Yet, despite their open mouths, they could not bring themselves to speak up. Meanwhile, Christopher narrowed his eyes and let out a satisfied smirk. After all, 600,000 was an excellent bid. If the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup could be auctioned off for more than 500,000 on two consecutive days, its reputation was sure to spread. The crowd, shocked by the bid and the resolute demeanor of the man, all took a step back. Before they made any bids themselves, they wanted to see where the situation was going. However, as they all enjoyed the aroma of the soup, the machine in Christopher’s mind piped up once again. “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving another 100 Thumbs-Up points due to the commendation of your Hundred Tonics Nourishment Soup.”“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving another 100 Thumbs-Up points due to the commendation of your Hundred Tonics Nourishment Soup.” “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving another 50 Thumbs-Up points due to the commendation of your Hundred Tonics Nourishment Soup.” Hmm… why 50, though? Christopher paused and thought for a moment. Can it be that receiving praise from the same person for the second time results in fewer thumbs-up points? After sweeping his gaze over the present crowd, he nodded to himself. Currently, he had a good memory of the people who were here yesterday and as he thought about it, most of the bidders here today were indeed the same people from yesterday. Even so, he received 3,000 more thumbs-up points within the next ten or so minutes. When added to the 4,000 or so from before, he had 7,000 points. This method of earning thumbs-up points is all too easy! he thought happily to himself. It seemed he only needed to make a few more delicious dishes to speed up the increase of his thumbs-up points. After approximately 20 minutes, the second serving of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup was auctioned off. Seemingly, the fat man’s intimidating aura had scared the crowd into silence, and 600,000 thus became the soup’s final price. With a gentle smile, Luna stepped forward and announced, “There will be another serving of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup up for auction this afternoon. The Serenade cordially awaits your presence.” Upon hearing her announcement, the disappointed crowd instantly lit up. There was no concealing the joy on their faces and they were all reinvigorated. As Luna gracefully left the room, Christopher naturally followed behind her. Right now, he was ecstatic. It was as if he had already received 600,000 in his bank account, and he felt a satisfying sense of accomplishment at being able to earn so much in two short days. Nonetheless, he did not crave having money as much as he did thumbs-up points right now. Thumbs-up points are the real way to go! Inside her office, she looked at him with joy, once again wearing the smile that she rarely wore. This time, Scarlett was not present as she had to be in the kitchen. As Luna thought about commending him and then signing the contract with him, he suddenly spoke up. “Lend me 5 million, Director Sears!” In all honesty, Christopher looked genuinely self-confident and sounded genuinely breezy. However, she froze when she heard his words and her mouth fell open. Surely he is being too casual about asking for such a large sum of money? Upon seeing her shocked look, he smiled slightly. For a moment, he closed his eyes before opening them again and persuading her confidently, “You must have more than 5 million in holdings, right Director Sears? I’ll be able to pay you back in a few days.” At this moment, she couldn’t help staring at him. All of a sudden, she felt like she couldn’t understand this man who was so much younger than her. In the past, the men who stood before her all showed a measure of self-conscious restraint, even while most of them lusted over her beauty. Generally, Christopher was the same way but not at this moment. At this moment, his face was full of confidence, as if he would be able to have and conquer everything. All of a sudden, her heart violently skipped a beat. Gently tidying her bangs, she answered, “Alright; give me your card number.” Upon hearing the songbird-like response, he pulled out his debit card without hesitation and, within a few minutes, was 5 million richer. Of course, apart from producing the agreement for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, she also had him sign another agreement, which was the agreement to return her money. With a cordial smile, he put his name on both papers. Naturally, he hadn’t borrowed this money for no reason. After getting the money, he asked her for a half day’s leave so that he could attend Samantha’s cousin’s wedding. Thing was, he already considered Samantha his wife and he could not tolerate his wife being bullied. How dare that man look down on her? Thus, with a plan in mind, he quickly called Samantha and made an appointment to meet up with her near The Serenade. Even though she was a working woman, he imagined she must have taken leave for her cousin’s wedding. Naturally, she answered with a sweet ‘yes’ before promising she would be there in about ten minutes. With a smile, he nodded and hung up the phone. After about seven or eight minutes, a beautiful woman in high-heeled boots appeared in front of him.
