Huo Sining kept her word and wrote a check for twenty million with no discount, handing it directly to Xu Shilong.
Over there Wu Deyue felt a sense of regret, but he was helpless; although the Golden Rhinoceros Paperweight was exquisite, it belonged to others, and now the owner had directly set the price at twenty million, clearly not intending to sell further. If he continued to bid higher, it would truly be tactless.
This gathering continued until after five in the afternoon, and with the auction over, Xu Shilong had already prepared a banquet at the hotel, inviting everyone to dine together at the restaurant.
By this time, quite a few people had already left the venue. Liang Ruicheng quietly left with his suitcase after Huo Sining bought her own Golden Rhinoceros Paperweight, as did Wu Deyue and his son Wu Shaorong shortly before the gathering ended.
