NOVEL NEXT Chapter 535: 1 Billion!
"Darling, why is there a fly buzzing around here, it's so annoying. Let's go over there." Lilith waved her hand in disgust and walked a few meters away with Ye Huan.
Liu Daming's face turned dark.
Did she just call him a fly?
This foreign woman really has a fiery temper.
However, usually the feistier the woman, the more obedient she becomes once conquered by a man.
A lewd glint flashed through Liu Daming's eyes.
He straightened his collar, puffed out his beer belly, and walked over to Ye Huan and Lilith again, saying to Lilith:
"Beautiful lady, what I meant to say earlier is that the winner of Pink Lover will definitely be contestant Li Bing."
"And the reason I'm here at the competition venue is to be the first to approach the champion, Mr. Li Bing, to purchase Pink Lover after the contest ends."
"For that, I've prepared..."
With an air of nonchalance, Liu Daming pulled out a check from his pocket, deliberately raising his voice: "One billion!"
The voice was loud, and even the contestants and audience around could hear it clearly!
An uproar ensued!
Everyone looked at Liu Daming with eyes full of disbelief.
"Isn't this boss too generous? He's actually offering one billion?"
"The price of Pink Lover on the black market has just risen to two hundred million, but this boss is willing to spend a billion, that's too extravagant!"
"I know who this boss is now!"
Suddenly, someone in the audience exclaimed: "He's the chairman of the Capital City Daming Building Materials Group—Liu Daming, President Liu!"
"Wow, really?"
The audience looked closely and another uproar broke out.
"It's really President Liu!"
"But then again, only someone of President Liu's caliber would make such a big move, spending a billion on a bouquet, how extravagant."
"I've heard that Daming Building Materials Group's cooperation with Li Corporation has become closer, having signed a strategic partnership agreement."
"Yeah, I've heard about it too, it even made it to the newspapers, and President Liu's wealth skyrocketed by billions overnight!"
Daming Building Materials Group, the leading enterprise in Huaxia's building materials industry, backed by Li Corporation, sees its net profits rise every year, now potentially reaching thirty billion annually.
Liu Daming, because of this, has become a well-known millionaire in Capital City, which is why the audience could recognize him immediately.
"And... Li Bing!?"
The name mentioned by Liu Daming was known by almost everyone in Huaxia, and those present were no exception!
Is it that infamous Li Bing?
Not only the audience, but even some contestants turned their eyes to the expressionless man on the field.
"It's really Li Bing, he actually came too!"
The scene immediately boiled over.
The previously confident-faced Hunter and Olympic gold and silver medalists all had their expressions change dramatically.
Among them, Pye Daxing, who won the gold medal in the shooting event at the last Olympics, looked the worst!
Li Bing represented Huaxia eight years ago at the Olympics, winning a gold medal in the shooting competition and breaking the Olympic shooting record of previous years!
This battle elevated him from a Grade Six Shooter to a Grade Seven Shooter, renowned domestically and internationally!
Pye Daxing won the Olympic championship four years ago as well but did not break the legendary record left by Li Bing, currently remaining a Grade Six Shooter.
Facing Li Bing, he felt very insecure!
Pye Daxing grabbed an event staff member and angrily said, "What is your event staff doing, how can you let such a person participate in the competition?"
The term "such a person" naturally referred to Li Bing.
Li Bing, returning home with glory eight years ago, shortly after had a scandal exposed, making him a public target in Huaxia.
The scandal was that, after losing a million in gambling, he turned to drugs to adjust his mood, ended up overdosing, got disoriented, and returned home to beat his wife, sending her to the ICU...
Even the muscleman exclaimed, "That's expertise!"
"Yes, you must kick this pest out, competing with him is simply an insult to our dignity!"
"Kick him out! Kick him out!"
Many strong contestants raised their arms and shouted.
Because they knew, if Li Bing competed, they had no hope of winning Pink Lover!
When the scandal broke out, Li Bing was expelled from the national team.
But over these eight years, Li Bing's reputation in the shooting world hadn't diminished but increased, participating in one shooting competition after another!
Even a year ago, Li Bing won a championship in an international shooting competition in the U.S., consecutively defeating multiple ace shooters from special forces, shocking the world!
If Li Bing were to compete, the champion would be a foregone conclusion!
The competitors, thinking about this, protested even more.
Unbeknownst to them, the event organizers were struggling with the number of participants.
"Sorry, we don't have this rule. Anyone who feels their dignity is insulted can choose to withdraw from the competition themselves," the staff coldly said, shaking off Pye Daxing's hand before turning away.
Pye Daxing and others turned pale, they participated in this competition to win Pink Lover and sell it off to become rich overnight.
Who knew Li Bing would suddenly show up!
Who could guarantee they could beat Li Bing?
But...
They couldn't just come for nothing!
They hadn't even earned back their travel expenses.
Pye Daxing thought solemnly, if Li Bing was present, even if he couldn't get the championship, he still had a good chance of getting second place or something.
The prize money was several tens of thousands!
Many strong contestants thought the same way.
In the end, no one withdrew.
...
"Beautiful lady, I believe from these reactions you should know my financial capability and Li Bing's strength."
"When I say Li Bing can win Pink Lover and I'll buy it from him at that time, it's not empty talk, it's not arrogance."
The last four words were said heavily by Liu Daming, clearly mocking someone's arrogance.
"Buy? Rest assured, the one who will win Pink Lover will definitely be my beloved, not that Li Bing, and my beloved won't sell Pink Lover to you." Lilith coldly sneered.
Liu Daming's face darkened again.
This foreign woman is deeply brainwashed...
She really thinks the uncertified shooter beside her can win against the Grade Six Shooters on the field, win against Li Bing?
Liu Daming didn't want to say much more to Lilith either.
A deeply brainwashed person can't be persuaded.
He planned to use facts to show her who truly had the real strength to win the championship, who truly had the capability to buy that bouquet of Pink Lover!
Liu Daming walked up to Li Bing and talked to him about something.
Li Bing appeared unconcerned, as if he didn't mind at all being a public target.
Smoking a cigarette, shaking his leg, he glanced at Ye Huan briefly, then exhaled a smoke ring, turning back and saying:
"Don't worry, the championship is mine, the one billion is mine;"
"That bouquet of flowers, I'll win it and sell it to you, and then you can give it to that exceptional foreign woman;"
"'Conquer' is the song she'll sing to you after you give her the flowers."
