668 Chapter 668: Intense Competition (23)

“Your Highness, you flatter me. You were the one who called the price. I didn’t force you, did I? You were the one who couldn’t come up with the money in the end, weren’t you? In that case, I naturally had to follow the rules. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be breaking the rules of this business?”

Gu Qingchen spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. There was no trace of treachery in her expression and tone.

Her righteous words were the epitome of this moment.

Indeed!

!!

Just as Gu Qingchen had said, she did not force the princess to bid. In fact, she even gave the princess a chance while the princess was pestering her.

However, the princess herself had bid two billion, and now she had no money. No matter how one looked at it, it was the princess who was in the wrong. Gu Qingchen was not responsible at all.

Now, Gu Qingchen was also handling this matter according to the rules of the industry. It was very normal!

Everyone looked at the princess. Initially, they were a little dissatisfied with the princess’previous actions.

Now that the princess could not come up with the money, looking at the princess’appearance, it really felt a little gratifying.

“Your Highness, since you can come up with 200 million, then quickly hand over the money. We are still waiting for the next piece of jade to be auctioned. Don’t waste our time here.”

“Hurry up and compensate us!”! What was going on? Even if the royal family had money, they wouldn’t waste it like this. They were just living a good life. Yet, they came here to bid, and out of nowhere, they lost 200 million! I really don’t know how the Parliament supervises the Royal Family!”

“It’s just a princess, yet she is so extravagant. The other members of the royal family might be spendthrift!”

“The royal family’s money is all our taxpayers’money. Is this how we spend our money?”

For a moment, what was originally a simple auction with no money seemed to change little by little.

It was upgraded to the level of the royal family spendthrift and the inability of the parliament to supervise it.

When the princess’Butler heard this, he immediately became nervous. This was not a small matter. If it was not handled properly, it would probably cause quite a commotion!

Usually, the princess would buy things everywhere. Since she did not have much money, it did not matter. Most people knew the princess’identity and felt that they were inferior. They would not fight with the princess.

However, on this occasion, there were people from all countries. Moreover, they were all people with status and controlled the economy. If they were to really start a fight, it would not be as simple as ordinary people.

Moreover, the money this time was not a small amount. Two hundred million! That was two hundred million! It was not two dollars!

The Butler even felt that his job was at stake.

“Your Highness, don’t argue with them. Why don’t we look for this Gu Qingchen in private and see if there are any other solutions. If the matter is blown up, it will not be beneficial to us!”

The butler whispered in the Princess’Ear. Although the princess was angry, she had already sobered up a little. In addition to the Butler’s words, she was also a little shaken.

At this time, the princess finally realized that this matter seemed a little too much.

But… how could she be willing to bow her head so easily?

Moreover, she had to bow her head and negotiate with Gu Qingchen. Where did she put her face?

How could she maintain her dignity and identity?

The housekeeper had followed the princess for so long, so he knew what the princess was thinking. He could only try to persuade her, “Your Highness, if we don’t resolve our current situation privately, I’m afraid it will really cause a disturbance.”. Some time ago, the parliament had already been discussing the issue of the royal family’s expenses. If the matter were to blow up now, I’m afraid the parliament would seize the opportunity to talk about it.”

The princess immediately frowned, apparently listening to the Butler’s words.

She might argue, but when it came to some political matters, she would not act recklessly.

After a long while, the princess raised her head to look at Gu Qingchen and said in a very awkward tone, “This jade… I don’t want it. Just sell it to that person at a price of one billion!”

The princess pointed at the Green Bird unwillingly. Her meaning was very clear. She didn’t want the Jade anymore.

Timothy Ruskin wouldn’t let the princess solve this matter so easily. The princess wasn’t a child. She had to be responsible for her own words and actions.

“Hehe!”! I say, Your Highness, don’t you understand human language? Your behavior is a breach of contract. You have to pay two hundred million in compensation. Hehe, now it’s not like you don’t want it. Here, there are supervision teams.”

Timothy Ruskin pointed at the few people around him. They were the supervision staff sent by the exhibition. They were responsible for protecting the auctioneers. They were also here to prevent such a situation from happening.

Timothy Ruskin’s meaning was very clear. The princess still had to pay.

Gu Qingchen glanced at Timothy Ruskin. Timothy Ruskin knew what she was thinking.

“Your Highness, I advise you not to divert your attention. Either you take out two billion yuan and the jade belongs to you. Or you pay two hundred million yuan in compensation. I believe that with your noble status, you won’t do anything shameless. “Moreover, the people at the exhibition will supervise you. Even if you really go back on your word, the people at the exhibition won’t let you go back on your word.”

Gu Qingchen glanced at Warren and said, “Warren, I want to know, if the princess refuses to pay, how will the exhibition deal with it?”

Warren was a little embarrassed, but he still thought about it and said, “The exhibition will force the princess to pay compensation. There may be the police involved. Of course, if the princess refuses to pay, we will directly ask the king for compensation.”

Although Warren was a member of the royal family, the exhibition was not organized by the royal family. Warren was only here for temporary work. In her current position, she had to abide by the rules of this position.

When the princess heard this, her face could not be any darker. She had never been so embarrassed before.

Twice in her life, it was all because of Gu Qingchen.

The people around also began to point fingers at the princess, and their words were not pleasant to hear.

Gu Qingchen kept smiling at the princess, which really made the princess gnash her teeth in hatred.

“Butler!”The princess almost gritted her teeth and called out to the butler.

The Butler immediately stood up straight and waited for the Princess’order.

“Give… give her 200 million!”

The Butler was stunned and looked at the princess. The Princess’face had never been so ugly, but the butler still said with difficulty, “Your Highness… Do You Really Want to give it?”

The Princess Glared at the housekeeper and said in a cold and stern voice, “Not giving it? Can I not give it? Do you think I can let them ask my father for it?”

The housekeeper opened his mouth and was also very troubled, but he still said, “But this 200 million is what you want, Princess…”
