Looking at a beautiful Scarlett running away from behind, Christopher stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. He seemed to taste a sweetness on his lips, which further piqued his interest in her. Looks like I have to kiss her more often in the future!A slap in exchange for her kiss and the chance to touch her breast—this is a good deal indeed, Christopher thought to himself as he revealed a satisfied smile. Then, he straightened his clothes and returned to the kitchen with Scarlett’s knife in his hand. He soon saw her again as she stood at one side with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. As soon as she spotted him, she immediately turned to the side to teach the person beside her some cooking skills and pretended to not see him. He was stunned to see her reaction but the next instant, a wide grin spread across his face as a wicked thought crossed his mind. It never occurred to me that a mere kiss could be quite useful. Her reaction only strengthened his intention to kiss her more often in the future. He silently placed the knife back at Scarlett’s place before asking someone in the kitchen to notify Luna. Soon, Luna, who was wearing a white striped shirt and a sky-blue fitting skirt, slowly paced toward him; he even noticed her pink high heels. “How was it? Did you succeed in making it?” Her cherry-like mouth gently parted, and it seemed to emanate a fragrant scent as she spoke with a smile. This mature young married woman, who resembled a ripe juicy melon, kept attracting Christopher’s gaze, so he had to suppress the burning desire within and nodded. “How much is the starting bid?” Luna gently nodded as she asked for his opinion in a mellow voice. The surrounding people, including Scarlett, were all astonished—it was known to all that Luna usually would not ask for anyone’s opinion when making decisions but today, she actually asked for Christopher’s. “Let’s put 1,000 for now and we will see how it goes. You two, pack up the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Let’s go, Director Sears.” Christopher let out a faint smile and extended his right hand, gesturing for her to come with him. Luna did not say anything. With graceful steps, she slowly headed toward the Imperial Room, which was also the largest room in The Serenade. In the room, some of the guests were wearing expensive clothing, while some of them had jade rings on their thumbs, and the others had servants following them around—all these indicated that most of the people here were wealthy. Of course, people who were not rich could enter the place and even place their bids during the auction, but this group of people knew very well that it would be better to not compete with the rich and wealthy during the bidding process to avoid humiliating themselves. Currently, they were eagerly staring at the door while trying their best to look chivalrous because all of them were clear that the first person to walk out from the door must be Luna. This woman was known as the most beautiful woman in Brentwood City and she had the brains for business. She was a renown and powerful woman in the city, so a lot of big bosses wish to get to know her. However, ever since her husband had passed away, she had been single till now; she seemed to have rejected all her suitors that swarmed at her. Creak! The brown door was slowly pushed open and a gorgeous woman appeared before everyone. She resembled an angel as she lifted her slender right foot and gracefully stepped into the room. Her fair arms were placed by her sides, a usual faint smile was on her cherry-like lips and her cleavage was visible and deep. The crowd’s gazes seemed to be glued to her bosom and their gazes followed her wherever she went. They seemed to stop breathing, as it was a rare sight to see a smiling Luna—this was the real reason why everyone's attention was captured. Luna clapped her bare hands and her red lips moved as she gently announced, “I would like to thank everyone for coming to The Serenade today. The first dish that The Serenade is going to auction off is the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Its effect is just like how I advertised yesterday. Bring it out!” The two well-prepared chefs slowly walked out from the side while carrying the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup and they placed it on the mahogany table at the center. At that instant, the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup exuded a tempting aroma, which then spread and filled the room. Soon, the people around smelled the scent. As soon as they smelled it, they inhaled deeply and shut their eyes, their expressions revealing that they seemed to be intoxicated by the scent. They leaned back and their bodies seemed to go weak at that moment. Meanwhile, those who were dysfunctional in a certain way were able to feel a trace of sexual desire the moment they smelled the scent. Traces of joy instantly flashed across their faces as their eyes widened. “I’m bidding 10,000 for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup!” A chubby man beside them immediately slapped the table hard and roared his bid the moment his body showed a reaction when he smelled the aroma. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and they were shocked by who it was—it turned out that he was one of the top 100 richest men in Brentwood City. It was rumored that he had a rather colorful private life and from his reaction, the rumor seemed to be true. A thin man, who was upset by the chubby man’s words, let out a cold snort and he muttered in disdain, “Hmph! You actually wish to buy the Hundred Tonic Nourishing Soup with only 10,000? Do you think that it is something so ordinary? I’m bidding for 20,000!” The crowd was equally astonished to see the thin man—he was also one of the top 100 richest men in Brentwood City. It was out of everyone's expectation that this thin man would actually place a bid because it was rumored that he held a grudge against the chubby man. The chubby man was pissed off to hear that, so he immediately increased his bid by 10,000. “How dare you? I bid 30,000!” It was obvious that he was very much displeased, even more so than the thin man! Christopher stood by the side, a smile etched on the corner of his lips. Just as he was secretly delighted by what was happening now, a robotic voice rang in his head again and it stunned him. “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for gaining appreciation for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup that you made. You have gained 100 Thumbs-Up points.” “Ding! Congratulations to the Host for gaining appreciation for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup that you made. You have gained 100 Thumbs-Up points.” “Ding!Congratulations to the Host for gaining appreciation for the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup that you made. You have gained 100 Thumbs-Up points.” The Thumbs-up System kept repeating itself. Wow! Not bad at all. The points keep increasing. Ha! The smile by his lips widened. They are already impressed by the aroma of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup and if they actually consume it… Christopher was now exhilarated. With the two men competing with each other, the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup will definitely become popular among the upper-class and by then, money will definitely come rolling in!Just like what Luna had mentioned, the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup should be mainly marketed to the rich and wealthy. However, they did not expect to see this promising outcome on the first day of the auction of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Ha! It appears that we have to increase the price tomorrow. A hundred thousand is definitely too low! Christopher guffawed inwardly.
