Chapter 62 Lu Jinye's Acquaintance

Cai Wenyou's face turned icy cold as he shoved the cake pieces into Qin Yuan's hands, saying, "Here, you can eat it yourself!"

After saying that, he turned and left in a bad mood!

Qin Yuan blinked, picked up the cake, and took a bite.

He turned around and glanced at Wen Ni and Lu Jinye standing together in the distance, a fleeting look of loneliness in his eyes.

"Qin Yuan! Come in and have a drink!"

Inside the shed, Assistant Xiao Wu's loud greeting could be heard.

"They're here!"

With a carefree smile returning to his face, Qin Yuan turned and went to greet him.

The aroma of alcohol mingled with the fragrance of cake, lingering until very late at night before finally dissipating...

With filming wrapped up, the crew enjoyed a short break.

The top-tier jade auction that Lu Jinye mentioned earlier was held in the convention center in the city center.

Those who came to attend the auction that day were all well-known wealthy businessmen and entrepreneurs from all over the country!

Some of them came to browse rare treasures, while others came to make friends at the auction!

"There are so many rich people here!"

A group of three, led by Li Yuanchang,

With the admission ticket given to them in advance by Wen Ni, they successfully entered the venue.

Li Yuanchang looked around nervously, smoothing out the wrinkles on his sleeves, and then smiled, revealing two large black teeth.

"I said, aren't we dressed a little too plainly..."

"It seems a bit..."

Xiao Weilai, with his back hunched and wearing an eye patch to cover his injured eye, and Xiao Xiaobao, wearing a big floral coat, lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"My sister said that inner confidence is more important than outer confidence!" Wen Cheng patted their shoulders, signaling them to straighten their backs!

He specially wore the most expensive outfit in his wardrobe for today's occasion!

Although……

The total cost of his entire outfit was less than a thousand yuan, less than the price of a rich person's hat...

"Hello, could you please show me your stand number?" the receptionist politely gestured to them.

"Second floor, Section A, Room 209!"

The woman who gave the same seat in the stands as Wen Cheng and the other two was a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair dressed in luxurious clothes.

The beautiful woman was followed by two bodyguards in black suits!

"Tsk?"

The beautiful woman subtly raised an eyebrow, slightly withdrew the hand that had been handing out the invitation, and looked at the receptionist.

"Are you kidding me? Me and...these guys...are in the same stand? I'm an SVIP at Black Gold Trading!"

Her undisguised disdain made Wen Cheng and the others feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The receptionist carefully checked the information before answering, "That's right, Ms. Jin Shangyue, your seat in the stands is 209."

"I really don't know how you guys arranged this. Someone of my caliber should be with Lu Jinye!" Jin Shangyue complained, dissatisfied. "Which stand is Lu Jinye in?"

"Ms. Jin, I'm sorry, we cannot disclose information about the other VIPs."

“I am Lu Jinye’s friend!” Jin Shangyue said.

"Regardless of your relationship with Mr. Lu, we have a rule here that we cannot disclose any information about our guests."

Listening to their conversation, Wen Cheng frowned and inadvertently muttered her thoughts, "How come Lu Jinye has female friends?"

"What do you know?"

Jin Shangyue rolled her eyes at her disdainfully.

"Furthermore, I may call Lu Jinye by his name, but that doesn't mean you can address him by his first name! You have no manners, no sense of propriety, and when did the industry start having so many third-rate merchants like you who can't even be considered respectable?"

"You've gone too far with your words, woman!" Li Yuanchang was furious and wanted to say more, but Wen Cheng stopped him.

He didn't want to cause trouble for his sister and just wanted to settle things as soon as possible!

They fell silent, which only emboldened Jin Shangyue, who became even more arrogant and disdainful. "You're low-class, no matter how high-class the occasion, it can't hide your inferior nature!"

"Truly wealthy people disdain using such low-class and tasteless language to elevate themselves and belittle others."

A clear voice, accompanied by a hand holding a folding fan, pushed open the door to stand 209 first!

"Sister!" Wen Cheng's eyes lit up.

The owner of the folding fan was Wen Ni.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders, and wore a red and black floral shirt, black trousers, and flat black leather shoes.

Wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, he had a slightly roguish air about him, and his face was aloof yet arrogant. "Why aren't you going in? What are you doing standing there like idiots outside the door?"

"She...she just spoke rudely and abusively to Xiaocheng!" Li Yuanchang couldn't help but complain to Wen Ni.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't bother with people who have no manners; they'll lower your IQs." Wen Ni raised an eyebrow.

"Mr. Wen is right!"

Xiao Weilai walked hunched over toward the door, deliberately emphasizing her words as she passed Jin Shangyue: "No manners!"

"How rude!"

Li Yuanchang pulled Wen Cheng along, and they had a second chance at marriage.

Jin Shangyue was furious and reached out to block Wen Ni's path!

"Are you with these country bumpkins?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"You...! You really are a troublemaker from a poor and remote place! Which merchant do you belong to? How could Black Gold Trading Company possibly invite people of your caliber? How did you even get in here?"

"If someone of Miss Jin's caliber can come, why can't we?"

Wen Ni smiled, her eyes crinkling, but there was no real smile in them. "Miss Jin, how noble are you? Oh, by the way, I just heard you say that the gentleman from the Lu family in Beijing is your friend."

"You're already calling each other friends, and you don't even know which section your friend is in at the auction?"

It's clearly just vanity at play, and he's lying through his teeth!

Wen Ni exposed Jin Shangyue's lie with a single sentence. Before the latter could reply, she turned around expressionlessly and slammed the door shut!

"..."

Jin Shangyue and her bodyguard, locked outside the door, stared at each other, seemingly completely unprepared to be confronted.

"So, Ms. Jin, would you like to contact Mr. Lu first?" the receptionist asked seriously.

"I……"

Jin Shangyue paused slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by the scrutinizing gazes of everyone!

"I won't trouble Lu Jinye with such a small matter. How about this, can you change my viewing platform? Anyway, I'm not going to be with those country bumpkins."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jin. All the seats on our side of the stands are fully booked and we are unable to change your seat at this time!"

"What!?"

Upon receiving this reply, Jin Shangyue was already furious. "Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of Jinshi Group, one of the top three jade trading companies!"

"I'm so sorry, Miss Jin." The receptionist smiled slightly. "Will you still attend today's auction?"

"What's your employee number? I'll remember it!"

Jin Shangyue was used to being arrogant and domineering, and had never encountered such a humiliating situation before!

"..." The receptionist maintained her smile.

The auction officially began ten minutes later.

All the lights in the venue were turned off.

The entire second floor darkened, leaving only a few spotlights flickering on the central exhibition platform on the first floor.

The door to section A, stand 209 on the second floor, where Wen Ni and the others were, was also opened from the outside at that moment.
