Chapter 340 - Being Taken Advantage Of

"This friend makes a valid point!"

A voice fell, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage.

To their surprise, Broly Henry, who had been sent to the hospital for treatment, had returned.

He was sitting in a wheelchair pushed by the host, his hands wrapped in bandages, smiling, with a microphone pinned to his collar.

"I've heard that Tianmu Group has always been a leading enterprise in the mobile phone industry in Long Country, and in recent years, they seem to be innovating in the field of mobile phone chips."

"Since they chose to give up on this auction, they must have developed a chip stronger than our new generation of fruit phone's 5-nanometer technology!"

Broly tried to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor as he spoke confidently.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his words carried a hint of provocation!

This was quite interesting.

Unlike Long Haotian, who was almost an unknown "small character."

Broly Henry was a genuine heir of the Henry family.

Did what he said represent some kind of signal?

For example, was it a signal that the Henry family was about to declare war on the Mu family's Tianmu Group?

This made many people unable to help but think deeply.

But Mu An and Mu Wanrou remained rational and did not speak.

Mu An was secretly calculating how to deal with this sarcastic guy.

Meanwhile, the indifferent Mu Wanrou slightly moved her fingers, seemingly sending some instructions in secret.

"This is outrageous! Isn't this just a way to flatter and kill?"

Gong Jinyao was about to stand up to defend Mu An, but was timely held back by the man.

"An Ge...?"

"Calm down! Before dawn arrives, there will always be some dogs barking wildly; just ignore them!"

"What do you mean..."

Mu An smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Gong Jinyao was also very clever and quickly closed her mouth, knowing that the other party had already revealed many 'secrets' to her.

'Clearly, An Ge doesn't see me as an outsider; otherwise, he wouldn't tell me so much!'

She couldn't help but think to herself.

[Your trust makes Gong Jinyao very happy, while also increasing her hatred for the two damn troublemakers, Long Haotian and Broly. Emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Throat Swallowing Knife Pain Experience Card *2]!]

…..

On the other side.

Long Haotian was surprised that someone would speak up for him, and his fondness for that person increased significantly.

Broly felt the same way; the more he looked at the Gong family's son-in-law, the more he found him pleasing to the eye.

One could say that the two were simply fated to meet, wishing they could become sworn brothers on the spot and then join forces against Mu An and the Tianmu Group behind him.

'Tch! Boring!'

Seeing that Mu An and the others remained silent, Broly snorted coldly in his heart.

However, after a few sarcastic remarks, he felt that he had regained some face, and his mood improved considerably.

"Since no one is continuing to bid, let's congratulate the new generation of fruit phone agents for the Dragon Kingdom!"

Broly initially thought about clapping, but when he remembered his severely burned hands, he decided against it.

The reason he rushed back after a simple treatment was to prove to the world that he, Broly Henry, the heir of the Henry family, was someone who would never be defeated by accidents and setbacks, someone who was unyielding and possessed a will of steel!

Once this persona was established, all the previous ugliness would no longer matter, and the Henry family could turn from shame to being more respected by the world.

As sparse and perfunctory applause echoed, Long Haotian walked from the backstage to the front stage with a demeanor that seemed to disregard everyone.

- [Wait, did he really manage to pull this off?]

- [Hehe, don't rush, let's play with him first! With his poor appearance, he might not even be able to come up with nine billion!]

- [Front row, watching the show! Looking forward to seeing his embarrassed expression when he can't come up with the money!]

Gong family.

"I have always thought that Long Haotian would be successful!"

Old Master Gong was all smiles, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax at this moment.

The others, however, kept quiet.

After all, the happier they were now, the more miserable they would be later if he couldn't pay the money or if he actually did pay it!

Global live broadcast scene.

"Welcome, friend, what is your surname?"

Broly greeted with a smile.

Long Haotian took the microphone handed to him by the host and pretended to be domineering as he said, "Gong family's son-in-law, Long Haotian, at your service!"

Everyone: "..."

Just a mere son-in-law identity, is that really something to be proud of?

Broly was also a bit speechless.

But he managed his expression well and didn't show it.

Because he had the thought of wanting to build a deeper relationship with the other party, he gave him enough face.

"Congratulations to Brother Long for securing this agency right. Do you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing this, Long Haotian's eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

'Isn't this the perfect opportunity to show off!?'

…..

On the other side.

Mu An looked at the two on stage acting pretentious and felt a bit displeased.

The foreplay was over; it was time to serve the main course to the two protagonists who had finally gathered!

To do this, he needed to replenish his 'ammunition' as much as possible!

So, the man turned his head, feigning a deeply affectionate look at Gong Jinyao, and made a rather excessive request.

"Jinyao, can you give me a kiss now?"

"What? A kiss, you?! That's not good, there are so many people here..."

Hearing this sudden remark, Gong Jinyao was completely stunned.

Then her face instantly turned bright red, and she stammered while her gaze kept drifting to his cheek.

[[From Gong Jinyao's nervous emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Throat Swallowing Knife Pain Experience Card *2]!]

[Facing your bold request, Gong Jinyao feels extremely shy, emotional fluctuation +22, congratulations, you have received the reward [Super Invincible Weakness Experience Card *4]!]

"Is it not okay? Then forget it!"

Seeing that some of the rewards he wanted had already popped up, Mu An decisively chose to retreat.

After all, he had said that to trigger the other party's emotional rewards and didn't really expect to be satisfied.

But at that moment, Gong Jinyao quietly murmured.

"Well, it's not impossible..."

She thought Mu An was upset because of Long Haotian and Broly and wanted to get some comfort from her.

As someone who was understanding and had decided on him as her man for life, of course, she would fulfill this small request!

As for whether it would bring shame to her family, she completely cast that thought aside.

Her family had treated her as a tool and sacrificed her happiness.

So why should she still care about the so-called honor of the family?

"What?"

Mu An was busy selecting 'debut props' for the two protagonists and didn't pay much attention, casually asking back.

However... the next second.

With a soft smack.

The man felt a sudden fleeting wetness on his cheek.

His expression instantly turned to one of shock, unable to believe he turned to look at Gong Jinyao, whose face was as red as a cherry, looking down and not daring to meet his eyes.

A thought involuntarily popped into Mu An's mind.

'Oh no! I was careless! I didn't dodge! I accidentally let someone take advantage of me!'
