### Chapter 43: The Rich Madman
Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.
Who is Chu Ping? For this occasion, he was willing to exchange all his gold bars for cash and pour everything he had into it.
He intended to invest all the money he had.
Whoever dared to compete with his extravagance, he would fight to the end.
Glancing at the amount in his bank account, Chu Ping smirked and raised his hand without hesitation, his voice ringing out loudly.
"Seventy-five million, I want it!"
Xu Huan’s expression changed; he looked very displeased.
He was very unconvinced and wanted to raise his hand to call out again.
However, one of his subordinates, having noticed his expression, reminded him.
"Young Master, it's better to let it go. There's no need to compete with this guy for first place. Our Xu family is already second!"
"If we spend nearly 200 million to secure the first honor, even our Xu family can't afford to throw that money away!"
Indeed, the Xu family couldn't just throw away 200 million for nothing.
More than 100 million was already their bottom line.
But unexpectedly, there was someone even more impressive than the Xu family!
Someone who was willing to throw out more than 170 million without hesitation.
Seeing Chu Ping's expression not far away, Xu Huan realized that if he continued bidding, Chu Ping would definitely not give up and would keep raising the bid.
At that point, both sides would suffer.
Their Xu family simply could not afford to offend such a madman!
What a real crazy person!
Spending 170 million just to throw money around for reputation was almost equivalent to the total assets of a family business!
"Seventy-five million once, seventy-five million twice, seventy-five million three times!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the last item at seventy-five million, and we are very grateful for his support in this charitable donation!"
The crowd fell silent, with many people looking at the madman not far away, their expressions changing unpredictably.
Huang Yan's face was particularly ugly; he almost wanted to slap himself to see if he was dreaming.
Looking at the Qin family who accompanied everything, he was indeed not calm.
"What the hell is your Qin family doing? This kid just threw away nearly 200 million! You, your Qin family definitely can’t have 200 million!"
"Don't tell me this has nothing to do with your Qin family?"
Huang Yan glared over but only saw the Qin family members looking at each other, genuinely unaware of the situation.
"This gentleman is just an invited guest of our Qin family; we don't know anything about this matter."
"Mr. Huang, if you say that, you're looking down on our invited Mr. Chu. This donation has nothing to do with our Qin family."
Indeed, given the Qin family's assets, it was impossible for them to just throw out 200 million like that.
Hearing the Qin family's words, the representatives of other family businesses fell silent.
By now, they could only think of one possibility.
This person was simply extravagant to the extreme!
He really just came to donate nearly 200 million for charity!
The female host at the front was very excited; this charitable auction was a huge success.
Especially the amount donated by the first-place bidder was enough for them to brag about.
The female host happily took the auction form from the staff, and even without looking, she already knew who the first donation honor award belonged to.
"Now, we announce the most generous and contributive individual at this charitable donation auction."
"He purchased three items in total, and his donation amount is the highest in the entire venue, far surpassing others, totaling seventy-five million RMB."
*Clap, clap, clap!*
A round of applause erupted throughout the venue.
At this moment, representatives from family businesses had to applaud.
"I am convinced, I am really convinced. This guy is too extravagant, far more than our family!"
"Exactly, our family's total assets are only about 500 million, and he donated nearly 200 million, which is almost half of our assets!"
"The Xu family isn't even his opponent; what else can we say? Impressive!"
The reactions around him made the female host continue smiling as she said, "He is our brightest star, and we are now especially awarding the first donation honor to this gentleman."
"Please, this gentleman, come forward to receive the award!"
Chu Ping stepped forward amidst everyone's attention and received a heavy pure gold trophy and medal.
The moment he held it, the sound of task completion echoed in his ear.
"Task completed, received lv3 rich man treasure chest, gained sign-in experience reward +1!"
He had to admit that the amount he spent this time was quite a lot.
However, he was well aware that this expenditure was absolutely worth it.
One hundred percent worth it!
Just this lv3 treasure chest made him not regret it at all.
Money could always be earned again.
What mattered was getting that high-level rich man treasure chest!
The subsequent friendly greetings from the female host didn’t register in Chu Ping's ears at all.
With this treasure chest in hand, he was only thinking about how to open it.
Given his current level, he simply couldn't unlock it.
While thinking about all this, Chu Ping walked down from the awards stage.
As soon as he came down, before he could return to Qin Xiaoyu's side, he was surrounded by a crowd.
As the winner of the first honor award of the entire auction, it was impossible for these major family businesses not to pay attention to him.
"This gentleman is amazing; donating seventy-five million all at once! I’ve never seen anyone so generous. Hello, I’m the representative of Fangjian Enterprise."
"Our Huang family enterprise is also well-known in this city, with assets nearing 10 billion. We hope to have a chance to collaborate with you someday."
"Sir, you are truly talented. I would be willing to marry my daughter to you. Are you interested in inheriting our Kuang family's 10 billion assets?"
Unfortunately, Chu Ping ignored all of them.
He simply returned to Qin Xiaoyu's side, causing some people to shift their attention to the Qin family.
They wanted to ask the Qin family about Chu Ping's identity.
This also made the entire Qin family shine.
Returning to Qin Xiaoyu's side, Chu Ping handed her the beautiful imperial green jade bracelet he had just acquired.
"This item is for you, as a return gift for the clothes you gave me."
Qin Xiaoyu accepted the beautiful imperial green jade bracelet with a smile, not refusing as she said, "Thank you."
"This jade is so beautiful; it's really beautiful!"
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyu liked it, Chu Ping smiled lightly, feeling a piercing gaze from not far away.
It seemed that he had offended certain people during this auction.
Huang Yan’s face was ugly, and his displeased tone confirmed this.
"You’ve offended the Xu family; don’t expect to have it easy. The Xu family's assets are in the hundreds of billions. How can you afford to offend them? Hmph!"
With a cold snort, he didn’t forget to return to Xu Huan's side.
He tried to appease Xu Huan's anger and curry favor with him.
Whether he offended the Xu family or not meant nothing to Chu Ping.
Looking at his lv3 rich man treasure chest resting in the system, he felt quite satisfied.
His gaze swept over to the additional sign-in experience +1 without much thought and directly claimed the sign-in experience reward.
