Silent!
In the conference room, you could hear a pin drop!
Neither Su Mo'en nor Che Dewei seemed inclined to raise their paddles.
This was far from the intense competition everyone had expected.
It also made the manager of Songhe Hall, responsible for the auction, feel awkward and uncomfortable in his own skin.
As an auctioneer, the one thing he feared most was a cold room. Normally, he would throw in a joke to warm up the atmosphere, but with two fiercely opposing parties sitting there, each determined to have their way, a misplaced joke could easily lead to mistakes.
The experienced manager chose to remain silent.
Su Mo'en did not speak because she simply did not want to bid. As long as Che Dewei did not bid, it would naturally go unsold and return to the hands of Hai City officials.
The auction house of Songhe Hall would also suffer a bit of negative impact from this unsold situation.
