Chapter 70 She'll take what she wants herself.
As the box was opened, inside was a brand new pair of white sneakers!
Lu Jinye held the pair of sneakers in his palm and, in full view of everyone, personally handed them to Wen Ni.
"Put them on."
"...Huh? For me?"
Wen Ni truly didn't expect Lu Jinye to be so thoughtful.
She sat down to put on her shoes.
Cai Wenyou and Lu Jinye stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.
As their eyes met, a hint of tension lingered.
Good evening, distinguished guests!
The speaker was Mr. Zhang, who was holding a microphone in the center of the venue.
His beaming face drew everyone's attention.
"The purpose of this banquet tonight, besides catching up with old friends, is also to find a suitable owner for my collection!"
He stretched out his arm,
A square, mysterious box was brought up on a trolley by the staff.
As the box was opened
When Wen Ni saw what was inside, her eyes lit up!
"Exclusive Flower Expo knife MK10!"
"That's right! Mr. Lu's female companion certainly knows her stuff!"
General Manager Zhang nodded proudly.
The Flower Expo's limited-edition knife, dating back no more than a century, is naturally not as valuable as jewelry and jade worth tens of millions.
But in some people's eyes, it is priceless!
The former owner of the mk10 was Hua Bo, the first female special agent in China during the war!
The Flower Expo was once an enduring symbol of faith for many!
This is no exception for Wen Ni.
"What's the starting bid?" Wen Ni asked proactively. She really liked the knife and had her eye on it at first sight!
"Things found through fate are naturally priceless."
Boss Zhang kept everyone in suspense, his gaze casually sweeping over Lu Jinye before he said, "If the collection is a knife, then the person destined for it must naturally know how to use it!"
"Come on, bring the things up!"
Upon hearing the sound, the staff moved and brought over three specially made targets.
"The person who hits the target with the most throwing knives from a distance of 10 meters can take away this limited edition Flower Expo knife for free!"
Once the rules were announced,
The wealthy young men and women who were just eager to try and full of interest suddenly backed out.
"10 meters? Even if you put it right in front of me, I'm not sure I could hit it..."
"Weiwei, you've studied shooting, so throwing knives shouldn't be a problem for you either, right?"
“They’re all pretty much the same, nothing difficult,” Zhao Weiwei stepped forward.
She had just suffered a setback and lost face because of Jin Shangyue's matter, so she was determined to get her revenge elsewhere!
Since Wen Ni wants this knife, then she will not give in to her desire!
"Wen Ni, you like this knife? I'll go win it back for you!" Cai Wenyou had already taken off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves to his forearms, and was about to take the three short knives from the waiter.
"No need, I can go by myself."
Wen Ni thanked him for his kindness, took the three short knives first, and walked towards the center of the arena.
"Can……"
“Let her win what she wants herself.” Lu Jinye raised an eyebrow. “No one else needs to interfere.”
"..."
Cai Wenyou's outstretched hand finally clenched into a fist and hung down at his side.
Knives are a niche hobby.
Moreover, those present were all wealthy young men who couldn't lift a finger or carry anything heavy; very few of them could handle throwing knives properly!
Therefore, Wen Ni's competitors were reduced to only two.
One is Zhao Weiwei.
There was also a tall, thin young man.
The young man was the first to go up to the knife-throwing target.
He was clearly just there for the fun of it all. All three of his attacks missed their targets, and he almost accidentally injured someone else. In the end, he slunk off the field!
The second one is Zhao Weiwei.
"First strike: 10 rings."
"Second strike, 10 rings."
"Third strike, 10 rings!"
With three stabs, Zhao Weiwei's precision was astonishing!
"Three strikes and you're at full strength, how can we even compete?"
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do?"
Faced with his subordinates' questions, Zhang Shu couldn't come up with a good solution for a moment.
He hadn't expected this situation. Wen Ni hadn't even taken the stage yet, how could she have been snatched away?
Meanwhile, Zhao Weiwei's companions had already started celebrating in advance.
"Weiwei is amazing!"
"I think some people don't even need to compete anymore, Weiwei has already won!"
Zhao Weiwei looked at Zhang Shu with full confidence and said, "Mr. Zhang, does this Hua Bo Dao belong to me?"
“This…” Zhang Shu hesitated clearly, his eyes subconsciously glancing in Lu Jinye’s direction.
But the latter was sitting leisurely on the sofa, sipping a glass of fruit wine slowly, seemingly oblivious to the tension in the scene!
"Who says you can't compete after a full round of rings?"
Wen Ni's cool voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention back to her.
Under the spotlight
She picked up a knife and cut off a corner of the tablecloth.
Then walk to the 10-meter line, stand still, raise your hand to cover your eyes with the long strip of cotton cloth and tie it behind your head!
"Knife!" She held out her hand.
"Here you go." Cai Wenyou stepped forward and handed her the knife.
"Is she planning to fly blindfolded?" Zhao Weiwei saw through her intention and was utterly astonished. "That's simply impossible!"
"Maybe not?" the people around her chimed in. "Isn't she a former bodyguard? These things shouldn't be a problem for her!"
"So what if she's a bodyguard? If she really had such outstanding abilities, why would the army have assigned her to a lower-ranking position so easily?"
In Zhao Weiwei's eyes,
Wen Ni is all show and no substance, no different from an ordinary bodyguard!
Moreover, Zhao Weiwei has already set a record of 30 perfect rings.
Even if Wen Ni chooses to fly blindly, the probability of her hitting all 30 rings without missing a single shot is basically the same as winning the lottery!
"Whoosh—"
While they were still discussing, in the blink of an eye, Wen Ni had already thrown out all three knives at once!
Before anyone could react, the waiter announced loudly, "All three knives hit the bullseye simultaneously!"
"..."
After a brief silence, the scene erupted into a frenzy!
Wen Ni slowly and methodically untied the blindfold and looked at the shocked General Manager Zhang.
"The limited-edition Flower Expo knife, shouldn't it be mine now?"
"Yes! It has to be yours! Congratulations, Miss Wen!"
General Zhang nodded vigorously, and without hesitation, he handed the knife box to Wen Ni!
Isn't that a bit too satisfying?
Even if this knife is cheap, it'll still cost a million or two. How come it's like they're handing out freebies on the street...
"Thanks."
Holding the knife box in both hands, and gazing at the silver-white blade, Wen Ni instantly cast aside her doubts and couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile.
Cai Wenyou, who was standing to the side, kept his eyes fixed on Wen Ni and naturally did not miss her smile.
In that instant, he felt that everything around him had disappeared, and only her confident and beautiful aura radiated from her, repeatedly tempting him to fall deeper and deeper!
Once you miss a girl like that, you may never meet another one in your life...
Feeling being watched
Wen Ni looked up and met the man who had gotten up and was walking towards her.
He was still holding the high heels she had just taken off.
"land……"
"Wen Ni, I have something to say to you." Cai Wenyou suddenly appeared, standing between Wen Ni and Lu Jinye.
