Chapter 64: Self-deprecation
Shen Qingning asked again, "Si Moting. Why do I feel that the handsome guy named Yi Fei has an unusual aura? What does he do?"
Somehow, Shen Qingning looked at him and felt a sense of fear from within.
Although he looks really young.
Probably in his early twenties.
Si Moting said, "The Yi family is quite complex; they're involved in all sorts of areas. For example, the funds raised from this auction will be sent to Country K. There's a safe zone there that the Yi family helped the K country military secure."
"Wow, that sounds pretty impressive."
"It's truly remarkable. Don't underestimate his youth; that boy's skills are such that he can easily defeat ten people on his own."
"Ah?" Shen Qingning couldn't believe it. "No. I think he's very thin. His waist is thin. It doesn't look much wider than mine."
What does it mean for one person to fight ten people? This is too scary.
From the outside, he looked like a completely modest gentleman. He didn't look like someone who would hit anyone.
"Baby, my muscles are hidden under my clothes. Just like me."
As he spoke, Si Moting became unserious.
Shen Qingning patted him, her eyes full of admiration.
Everyone is present and the auction officially begins.
It's the same process as what you see on TV.
The host came on stage and displayed the items one by one, and the people below began to raise their hands to bid.
Shen Qingning was quite curious at first, but after listening to it many times, she felt that tens of millions were nothing.
Especially a landscape painting, which looked very ordinary in his eyes, was sold for 70 or 80 million yuan.
It really taught me a lot.
"The following item is a protective bracelet blessed by Master Kongji. The starting price is three million."
As the host finished speaking, Shen Qingning looked at the bracelet on the stand in shock and continued to whisper to Si Moting, "Why is this thing so expensive?"
"Master Kongji is a highly accomplished monk, so this price is normal."
Okay.
It's because he has short hair and little knowledge.
There were heated biddings one after another, and the price once soared to 10 million.
Shen Qingning sat there calmly. It seemed that all rich people prayed for peace.
"Thirty million."
A cold voice sounded in the middle, and Yi Fei put down the sign calmly, not thinking that the price he shouted was outrageous.
Host: "Young Master Yi is offering 30 million. Is there anyone else who wants to match the price?"
People at the scene were talking in low voices, but no one was holding up signs.
"30 million once"
"30 million twice"
"30 Million Three Times"
"make a deal!"
As the host struck the hammer, warm applause broke out from the audience.
Xie Qiange leaned over with a half-smile on his face: "Young Master, is this bought for me?"
Yi Fei glanced at him with his head tilted slightly, frowning slightly: "I heard that this master is very popular in your country G."
"Things like this are something you can believe if you want to, or not if you don't." Xie Qiange said playfully, "But for the sake of this string of beads, I will believe it from now on."
This means that it is definitely given to him.
Yi Fei did not refute and turned back to watch the auction.
The entire auction lasted three hours, and by the end everyone had bid on something.
Even Shen Qingning, at her brother's suggestion, bought a screen and took it home.
These items will be delivered to their homes later in the auction, so they don't have to take them back.
"It's finally over. I'm so tired from sitting here."
Shen Qingning was almost asleep.
"There's a cocktail party down the road, do you want to go?" Si Moting stretched out his hand and pulled him up from his seat.
"Go ahead. I'm hungry. I just saw the class monitor, I'm going to go play with him. You can go with your brother to the social event."
In this kind of situation, with Xie Qiange being such a prominent figure, Shen Qingning knew without hesitation that Si Moting couldn't just leave.
Si Moting patted his head: "Okay, I'll come find you later. Don't go too far."
"Know."
Shen Qingning ran to find Su Yan.
When he went there, there was also a group of people surrounding Gu Chen and Fu Chi.
The auction ended and the eager people began to socialize.
When they saw Shen Qingning coming over, a group of people greeted him enthusiastically.
Who can't see now that the Shen family is no longer what it used to be?
"Linge, long time no see."
"Yeah. You haven't been out since you went to college, and we can't find you."
Facing this enthusiastic group of people, Shen Qingning's rare social anxiety attack came to a head, and she put on an awkward smile: "I'm busy. I have something to talk to Yanyan about, you guys chat."
Shen Qingning grabbed Su Yan, who was sitting silently in the corner, and ran away.
"Ningning, where are you going?" Gu Chen shouted from behind.
Shen Qingning didn't even turn her head: "I'm hungry, you guys chat, we'll go to the restaurant first."
Gu Chen said loudly: "I'll come find you later."
Fu Chi watched the two figures leave, turned around and said, "I'll go look after them."
Seeing that everyone had run away, Gu Chen had no choice but to stay and socialize.
Everyone knows that they are the iron triangle, it’s not good for them all to run away.
The restaurant is on the east side and is filled with delicious food.
There are all kinds of snacks and fruits.
Shen Qingning was really hungry. She pulled Su Yan and each of them took a plate. "Yanyan, don't be polite. Let's eat first before they come."
Su Yan had worked in a place like this before and knew that restaurants were just for show.
People who come here are here for networking and to look good. Few come here just to eat.
Even if they came, they would just hold their wine glasses and chat around.
I won’t eat like them without caring about my image.
Shen Qingning made a full plate of food and finally found a shady corner to sit down.
Behind them were two large iron trees, blocking their view.
As a result, Su Yan's tense mood also relaxed.
Shen Qingning asked him while eating, "I just saw the circle of friends this morning. Why are you with Fu Chi?"
Guessing he was going to ask this, Su Yan replied, "I was drunk and had an accident last night. He said he would give it a try, and I didn't refuse."
“So that’s how it is.”
Shen Qingning had no doubt about this reason. After all, boys do tend to get drunk easily after drinking. "So, do you like him?"
Su Yan used a fork to pick up the dessert, her eyelashes drooping slightly as she said casually, "I think so. He's handsome and rich, so I'm not at a disadvantage."
"You are very handsome, have good grades, can cook and are virtuous. If I were to say, he took advantage of you." Shen Qingning didn't like to hear this.
Anyway, he doesn't like Fu Chi.
Ultimately, it’s all because of the original book’s plot.
Although it didn't happen.
But that was also because he traveled through time and changed the plot. Who knows what would have become of these people if things had continued as they did before.
He praised himself so much that Su Yan couldn't help laughing: "How can I be that good?"
"If I say yes, then yes. You are the best in my eyes."
"Thank you." Su Yan's mood improved after he said that.
