Chapter 464: Reassurance and Heartache

Youbaozhai was very efficient and the auction took place as scheduled on the fourth day.

It was a short period of time, but the publicity efforts were not small.

As we all know, there is a natural diamond in today's auction, which is the largest natural diamond discovered in China so far.

When Chen Jinyue entered the venue in a low-key manner, he saw that most of the guests participating in the auction had arrived.

Mr. Rong must be here.

There were several strange yet familiar faces talking to him.

It's strange because I've never seen it before.

I am familiar with them because several of them are on the Forbes list.

Putting aside other factors, just based on that one natural diamond, anyone who can participate is no ordinary wealthy person...

Just at this moment, Mr. Rong looked over.

He smiled and waved at her.

Chen Jinyue walked over quickly, and then the old man naturally introduced her to everyone, "This is my granddaughter. She also has items for sale at today's auction..."

Chen Jinyue was stunned and looked at the old man in surprise.

He had never introduced her like that in public.

The last time the manor opened, someone discovered something, but the Rong family didn't announce it directly without her permission.

What's going on today?

Then gradually, she discovered some clues.

There were also several foreign friends present.

When they were communicating with Chen Jinyue, the topic of medicine and robots was vaguely mentioned. It was obvious that they knew her and were very clear about the industry she was in charge of.

But they seemed to ask in a tactful way, and from time to time they had to consider Mr. Rong's face and say a few words off topic.

So, the Rong family publicly announced her identity to help her avoid meaningless investigations?

"What items did Miss Chen offer? Could you introduce them to us?" someone asked casually.

"Ms. Chen, do you know the information about that natural diamond?" someone asked.

"Is this your first time here? There are auction items provided by Baozhai. Those that are willing to be made public will be made public, and those that are not willing to be made public are kept confidential. This is the auction house's rule."

Assistant Rong interrupted calmly and explained, "What Miss Chen offers are just some small items. Please bid rationally."

Subtext: Don’t spend money on a friendly basis just to save Mr. Rong’s face.

This was obviously a misunderstanding of the other party's meaning. They clearly didn't want to know this.

But it is difficult for them to explain this distortion.

Mr. Rong looked over to the other side and said to Chen Jinyue at the right moment, "The president of Xiaguo Bank's headquarters has arrived. Let me introduce him to you. We may have a chance to meet in the future."

As he spoke, he excused himself to the people around him and left with his men.

The introducer is fake, the explanation in private is the real one.

"There are a lot of people coming today. Follow me, don't run around, and don't chat with others easily." He whispered to her.

Chen Jinyue had pretty much summed it up. "They want to use the auction as an excuse to find out about me?"

To be more precise, he wanted to inquire about the extraordinary medical resources she had and the situation of the robotics industry.

In fact, before coming, Zhou Yichuan had told her not to show up easily.

When I got there, I sent him a message and he came out to answer it.

There are so many things to do before and after an auction, not to mention that the items auctioned by Youbaozhai are not ordinary treasures.

So Chen Jinyue thought about not bothering him and just coming in to take a look himself.

Didn't expect that I would be so popular and almost be 'besieged'?

"They came prepared. Even if it wasn't today, they would have found another opportunity. I don't know where the news leaked out, and they knew that the item for today's auction was provided by you..."

That's why he introduced them so openly at that time, and then reminded people that they were just small gadgets.

Old Master Rong explained in a low voice, "In your current situation, you'd rather reveal your abilities and background than reveal your secrets. So, you must be extra careful in your communications."

The higher-ups are doing their best to protect her and hide her secrets, but so many abnormal situations happening one after another will definitely attract attention.

The country is now very powerful and does not have to worry about being spied on or targeted.

But he was unwilling to expose her to others.

Today, outsiders learned about the auction items, which made the old man feel uneasy, so he gave earnest advice.

"I know."

Chen Jinyue nodded solemnly. To reassure him, he couldn't help but remind him, "Don't worry. I've kept it a secret from you all so tightly, how could I possibly reveal it to anyone else? Besides, I've handled so many things, and I've kept quite a few for myself. I have a certain level of self-protection."

Mr. Rong, “…”

She had indeed kept it a secret from them, and now no one knew the details of the transaction she was handling.

Except Zhou Yichuan.

But that guy is also a clam, and his mouth cannot be pried open.

Why do I feel relieved and sad at the same time?

…

The auction officially began, and the first items to be put up were jadeite stones. Although they were of good quality, they were not very rare.

Most people observed that Mr. Rong frequently made bids on several things and seemed very optimistic about them.

Some doubts arose in my heart.

Could it be that these little things were all provided by Chen Jinyue?

Then, out of respect, the foreign tycoon fought several times and bought the item that Mr. Rong had bid for at a high price.

Sure enough, I saw a satisfied smile on Mr. Rong’s face.

Well, this wave of relationships is in place.

The auction was coming to an end, and it was time for the most anticipated item.

Natural diamond.

When the red cloth was lifted and the huge natural diamond appeared in everyone's sight through the glass, many people sat up straight and looked at the stage with their eyes wide open.

Grandpa Rong turned around and whispered to his granddaughter, "Do you like it? Grandpa will take a picture of it as a gift for you."

The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible amidst the auctioneer's introduction.

But how could anyone who cares about it ignore it?

Almost listening to the conversation with my ears perked up——

"It's not a special day, so why should it be a gift? No need." Chen Jinyue refused gently and sensibly.

The old man spoke without hesitation, as if it was a matter of course. "It's a gift for admission! How was your retest? It should be fine, right? Consider it your grandpa's congratulations in advance!"

"The retest... I feel okay. The instructor is quite satisfied! Besides, don't you see who brought me up!"

"That's right, my granddaughter will definitely be fine!"

“…”

After this conversation, it seemed as if they had decided to get the diamond.

Then when the auctioneer announced the starting price, Chen Jinyue seemed dumbfounded.

Mr. Rong calmly raised the price to 1.3 billion. Chen Jinyue immediately stopped him in a low voice, "It's too expensive! No more!"

Mr. Rong didn't take it seriously. "It's priceless. Besides, this kind of natural diamond is hard to come by."

Chen Jinyue shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I'm not that fond of it either. Why don't you transfer the money to me?"

This statement more or less reveals his true nature.

And sure enough, Mr. Rong only called out once and didn't add anything else.

Others seemed to understand something...

Only Professor Zhou, who was sitting next to them, seemed calm, but in fact he could hardly hold it in.

You two, grandfather and grandson, have had enough!

That’s enough!

How come his acting skills are so good?
