Throughout the entire auction, Qi Yan didn't dare to interrupt; this was the first time she had ever seen Shi Jing so flamboyant.
She always knew Shi Jing wasn't short of money, but she didn't know she was *this* rich...
Or rather, none of them anticipated it.
While the others didn't recognize Shi Jing, Qi Jing and Zhang Ningyuan did. Her parents were divorced, and she now lived with her mother, making it almost impossible for her to access such a large sum of money. Moreover, even her father wasn't extravagant enough to casually throw out such a sum.
Qi Jing and Zhang Ningyuan exchanged a glance, both with deep thought and apprehension in their eyes. It seemed that Shi Jing's background was not as simple as she appeared.
Fortunately, they have always maintained a friendly relationship and have never harbored any improper intentions...
Those who attended the auction clearly noticed Shi Jing.
Two hundred million yuan in cash, just like that, and she's such a young girl.
If at the beginning some people influenced by Lin Youmei might have suspected that she was Zhang Ningyuan's mistress, now they dare not think that way at all.
Regardless of other factors, this level of financial resources and boldness is already astonishing.
Shi Jing didn't care what others thought. At this moment, she was happily calculating, wondering how much of the charity fund this expenditure would return. She was quite looking forward to it.
As soon as the auction ended, the organizers sent someone to arrange the remittance and transfer. Shi Jing didn't hesitate and quickly transferred the money.
After the transfer was successful, the task was completed, and the system promptly calculated the rebate amount.
"Charity routine task settlement: The auctioned goods cost a total of 215 million yuan, and the total amount of public welfare funds was 125 million yuan. Now, 125 million yuan of public welfare funds will be returned."
Shi Jing did the math and realized that she had only bought a set of jewelry at the original price, which was quite a bargain.
Moreover, after the successful auction, many people were obviously interested in her personally, and more people sought her out for social interaction. It was a great opportunity to expand her network, and Shi Jing took the opportunity to get to know some people she was interested in.
The charity gala ended with the organizers and participants all having a great time, and Shi Jing was also very satisfied.
They had just stepped out of the banquet hall when the system suddenly beeped again.
"Beep, the randomly triggered task has been completed."
Shi Jing remembered that she did indeed have a random task, but before she could think of anything else, the system continued to announce it.
"Task Reward: Initial network established, the system rewards you with 500 million yuan in investment funds. These funds can only be used for business investment. Financial management involves risks, so please invest cautiously. Please invest and learn according to your own wishes."
"Ding! You have been rewarded with a set of the 'Springtime Jadeite' collection. The purchase funds have been transferred to your account!"
Shi Jing paused, stunned by the reward announced by the system.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yan, who was walking next to her, asked in surprise.
"It's nothing," Shi Jing said, shaking her head. "I just suddenly remembered how rich I am..."
Qi Yan looked at her speechlessly.
Shi Jing didn't even have time to talk to her, and quickly called the system: "Little God of Wealth, what does the reward of 'Springtime Jadeite' mean? Does it mean that I don't have to pay the auction amount myself?"
"Yes, host," the system replied matter-of-factly. "The 215 million you spent on this purchase has been transferred to your personal account."
"...Little God of Wealth, you're too kind!"
So Shi Jing got a set of jewelry without spending a single penny, and even received an extra 125 million in charity funds, not to mention the 500 million investment from a random mission. Tonight's trip was absolutely a steal.
"Brother Zhang, you're truly my lucky star!"
"Huh?" The three people traveling together looked bewildered.
Shi Jing was in a great mood and had long forgotten about Lin Youmei. However, Lin Youmei probably wouldn't be able to forget her anytime soon.

Shi Jing gained a lot from the banquet. In addition to the financial gains, he collected a lot of business cards, and there were also signs of recruitment.
The next day, Zhang Ningyuan introduced her to a headhunting company. Shi Jing chatted with them and felt they were quite reliable, so she told them her requirements for candidates. Now the headhunting company is already helping her find suitable candidates.
After entrusting the recruitment to professionals, she was able to easily free up time to do other things.
The system gave her 500 million yuan in investment funds. Among the people she met at the charity gala, some expressed their intention to invest in her, but Shi Jing did not agree to it.
She invested with Zhang Ningyuan partly because they were familiar with each other and she felt comfortable with him; she wouldn't easily agree to invitations from strangers. Besides, at her age, it was still somewhat awkward.
Fortunately, the system did not require her to complete the investment within a specified period, so she could decide at her own pace.
Almost a week later, Xiao Xiao was about to be discharged from the hospital, and Shi Jing specially arranged time to go and see him.
In the inpatient department of Hua'an Hospital, Shi Jing, carrying the small toys she bought for Xiao Xiao, walked through the stairs and corridors and found his ward.
He went straight home after Xiao Xiao's surgery; this was her first time visiting the ward.
The child was sitting obediently on the hospital bed, already dressed in his little clothes and shoes. Fang Ning was feeding the child a half-peeled banana.
Shi Jing knocked on the door, and Fang Ning and Xiao Xiao both looked over.
"Time Mirror".
"Sister Shi!" The child still remembered Shi Jing and called out sweetly.
"Xiao Xiao, look what your sister bought for you!" Shi Jing held up the gift in her hand.
Worried that it would be inconvenient for them to carry it on their way back, Shi Jing didn't buy anything big, just a toy airplane. Xiao Xiao was very happy to receive the gift, her eyes crinkling with joy.
Shi Jing handed him the gift and patted his little head.
She looked at Fang Ning: "Have Xiao Xiao's discharge procedures been completed?"
"Grandma Fang and the others are handling it," Fang Ning replied.
On the third day after Xiao Xiao's surgery, the welfare home sent a younger caregiver to help. The caregiver has been helping with many things these days.
Shi Jing felt more at ease after hearing this. It was good that someone was helping her; otherwise, she would have been worried about the elderly and young children going back together.
How is Xiao Xiao's health? Has the doctor said when she needs a follow-up check-up?
"The doctor said it's fine, and I only need to have a check-up every two or three months."
Shi Jing was relieved to hear that Xiao Xiao was doing well.
After a while, the hospital director and the young caregiver returned. As soon as they entered, the caregiver gasped, "There are just too many people in this big hospital. It took us ages to get all the paperwork done."
Dean Fang chuckled and said, "It's good that it's done."
As they were talking, the two saw Shi Jing. Dean Fang greeted him with a smile, "Shi Jing is here. Thank you so much for your help this time!"
Shi Jing smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, I didn't help much."
After Jing returned home following the surgery, she entrusted all the subsequent matters to Qi Jing's assistant.
Dean Fang didn't continue the conversation, keeping his gratitude to himself.
They completed the discharge procedures and quickly packed their belongings to head home. As they went downstairs, Fang Ning carried Xiao Xiao, while Shi Jing helped them with their luggage.
"You have quite a lot of stuff. Have you booked the tickets? Is anyone from the orphanage coming to pick you up?"
Director Fang chuckled and said, "The tickets are all bought. The orphanage will arrange a car to pick us up from the high-speed rail station, so don't worry."
Shi Jing was relieved to hear this.
She called a car and took them to the high-speed rail station.
"Shi Jing, the house over there has been cleaned. We've already spoken to Comrade Xiao Wang. We've gone to so much trouble for you all these past few days." Dean Fang held Shi Jing's hand and thanked him again.
The high-speed rail station was bustling with people, and the time for parting soon arrived. Shi Jing watched them go through the ticket check and enter the station before leaving.
