Chapter 197: Recognize the card but not the person

The two stared at each other for a long time, an awkward silence spreading through the car.

"Pfft..." Ye Wanxi couldn't help but burst out laughing, breaking the silence, "Hahahaha, where did you learn such cheesy pickup lines? They're so corny!"

After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of sweet talk, President Feng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He silently marked his secretary and assistant with a big X in his mind.

It seems like it's time to think about finding a more reliable assist provider.

Completely unaware that he was about to face the biggest crisis of his career, Guan Da's secretary and assistant sneezed violently and wondered to himself: Who is thinking of me at this time?

Ye Wanxi laughed for a long time, barely managing to hold it in, but when she turned her head and saw Feng Tianyu's face, she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"..."

“It wasn’t me who said it.” Feng Tianyu’s face darkened even more. After holding back for a long time, he decided to shift the blame. “It was the person who gave me the idea who said it.”

Ye Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, it's all that person's fault, it has nothing to do with you."

They suggested it, and you adopted it, didn't you? What does that show? It shows that you agreed with it in your heart.

My silly senior brother, why does it seem like his IQ drops drastically when he's in love?

Feng Tianyu could tell that Ye Wanxi was just coaxing a child, and he didn't take her words seriously at all.

Realizing this, Feng Tianyu became completely withdrawn, silently plotting how to deduct Guan Xuanshi's salary when he got back.

Following a career crisis, even her current salary is about to plummet: "..." This is too much for me!

Only after putting on the cute little bunny mask did Ye Wanxi belatedly realize that the car they were in didn't seem to be the one Feng Tianyu usually rode in.

“This car…”

"It's newly purchased, so I can't find it."

Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly felt a pang of jealousy, looking at Feng Tianyu as if he were a spendthrift.

Feng Tianyu misunderstood, thinking she was envious that he had bought a new car. His eyes lit up and he immediately started gift-giving.

"I'll buy you a better one when you're 'well'."

Ye Wanxi blinked, remembering something very important: "Is it okay to drive without a license?"

"……Can't."

"..."

Feng Tianyu pondered for a moment and tentatively suggested, "How about we get a driver's license first?"

"No thanks." Ye Wanxi suddenly lost interest, lay down in the passenger seat, and became a lazy bum.

Don't you like driving yourself?

"No, it's that I don't like traffic jams."

She usually travels in a company-provided nanny car, so she doesn't need it.

All the trips she can use are private trips. It was fine before, but now she can teleport for short distances and even for long distances, she can fly on her sword. She can get there quickly without getting stuck in traffic. Isn't that great?

Feng Tianyu, who desperately wanted to spend money on Ye Wanxi but couldn't find the time or place, felt like he was about to burst!

The auction at Xirui Auction House officially started at eight o'clock. Ye Wanxi came out relatively late, and the two arrived with only a few minutes left before the auction began.

However, thanks to this time difference, most of the guests attending the auction had already entered the venue, and the only people who could notice their extremely conspicuous Q-version masks were the auction house staff responsible for verifying their identities.

It's worth mentioning that this identity verification doesn't involve looking at the car, face, or body shape and clothing; it only checks the card.

That's right, it's that membership card with a deposit of 100 million yuan.

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi lowered her voice and gossiped with Feng Tianyu, "What if the card is lost, and the person who comes isn't even the card's owner?"

"They only recognize the card, not the person. If you lose it, you can only apply for another one."

Ye Wanxi was slightly surprised: "Don't they care about this? After all, it's their membership card."

Auction houses aren't banks. As Bai Haoqi said before, anyone who can afford a membership card here is no ordinary person.

If a membership card is lost or stolen, and it's not for the money inside, it's definitely for the auction tickets. If you help the cardholder keep an eye out, there's a good chance the card can be found.

"Auction houses don't care about these things."

"Has no one made a fuss?"

"Yes, it went bankrupt within a few days."

"..." Is it really that brutal?

Ye Wanxi stroked her chin and pondered for a moment: "Following this logic, if this auction house regularly bribes a group of people to steal or rob membership cards, wouldn't they be able to rake in billions without lifting a finger?"

"..." They're not that bored.

The two whispered to each other, while the staff finally verified the authenticity of the membership card and handed it back to Feng Tianyu.

"Mr. F, Mrs. F, your box is number 7. Our waiter will now escort you there. We wish you both a successful night at the auction and hope you enjoy yourselves."

It took Ye Wanxi a while to realize what "Mrs. F" meant. She stared wide-eyed in surprise, but before she could explain, Feng Tianyu pulled her away.

Before leaving, Feng Tianyu gave the staff member an appreciative look.

The staff wore polite smiles, concealing their achievements and fame.

Ye Wanxi was pulled along by Feng Tianyu for a while before she realized what was happening: "Why didn't you explain to him just now?"

"Explain what?"

"Explain that I am not..."

"Not my wife? Then who are you to me? My sister?"

Ye Wanxi choked. It didn't seem right to still call her the younger sister at this point.

Seeing that Ye Wanxi was stumped by his question, he smiled broadly behind his mask and said confidently, "It was bound to happen sooner or later, no need to explain."

Ye Wanxi: "..." I suspect you're taking advantage of me, and I have evidence!

The two arrived at VIP room number 7 amidst their bickering. It must be said that this VIP room was really big, practically a small entertainment and relaxation area.

Near the entrance, there are many recreational equipment items for guests to play and relax while waiting.

On the other side, there was a sofa and table, with various fresh fruits and vegetables and delicate snacks on the table.

After passing this area, walk a little further in before you can see a large area of ​​bulletproof floor-to-ceiling windows.

You can see a very large exhibition booth below from this window, but you can't see inside from the other side of the booth.

Several tables and chairs were placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition to fruit and snacks, there was a bell and a voice changer on the tables.

The purpose of ringing the bell is self-evident, while the voice changer is used to speak if there are any questions during the auction but you don't want people to recognize your identity by your voice.

"This auction house is quite thoughtful." Ye Wanxi picked up the voice changer and looked at it, then her attention was drawn to the fruit and pastries on the table. "They even have osmanthus cake here, and..."

Ye Wanxi paused, glanced at the peach in her hand, then at the osmanthus cake and grapes on the table, and a large bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice next to it.
