Chapter 52: Fifty-two Billion "Do you have the money to play like this?"
After the live house ended, Xin Jingli communicated with Ling Yao and confirmed that he would sponsor them. Ling Yao offered to treat them to a midnight snack. Thinking that she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well join in the fun with everyone. Xin Jingli was about to agree when Jin Jingfang said that someone was following her nearby and she had to leave early.
When I got home, the system popped up a prompt: [Changes in host data detected, name Xin Jingli
Age: 23
Health: 17
Constitution: 100
Appearance: 90
Charm value: 61
Career: 6
Skills: 0
Enhancement Points: 25
After investing in the entire band, the career value is only 6?
The Jiyue band is strong and good-looking, but in an era where short video platforms are rampant, they can't get any benefits at all. It seems that they are really being targeted.
However, with the 50 million she gave, she has enough funds to open a studio, prepare songs, buy promotions, etc. She doesn't expect the Jiyue Band to become a big star, but at least her career value can be increased to 20 in the future.

Two days later, charity auction, 3pm.
Xin Jingli changed into a semi-casual skirt, curled her hair slightly, and put on light makeup, and went to the auction site.
This time, in addition to wanting to see the process of the undisclosed auction, Xin Jingli also had another purpose, which was to see who would be more suitable to be the right-hand man of her investment company.
There is a threshold requirement for entering the auction, which is a deposit of 5 billion yuan. They are all well-known business people in Dongcheng. She took the opportunity to show off her face and expand her network of contacts.
Arriving at the door, four greeters in uniform stood on both sides of the door. When they saw people walking in, they bowed their heads and greeted:
"Hello, Mr. Li, please come in."
"Hello, Mr. Xu. Please come in."
…
Smile appropriately.
One of the girls was Xu Ya, and Xin Jingli recognized her at a glance.
Without her glasses, Xu Ya looks a bit prettier than she does on camera.
Xin Jingli didn't intend to tell her his identity.
[Li Pu De Mei Bian] Since his sudden appearance, online rumors have been speculating about who the real person is. This ID is more popular than a traffic star. If his identity is revealed, who knows what troubles he will cause.
At the same time, the receptionist saw Xin Jingli approaching and couldn't help frowning. They looked at each other and exchanged information, asking each other who this person was.
It is an open auction, but there are still thresholds. There are only a few companies in Dongcheng that can meet the requirements. The organizer has already provided relevant information, even a list of visitors.
But this girl... I've never seen her before.
Thinking it was a mistake at work, the four of them checked the information to see how many companies had arrived and how many had not.
Half a minute later, they confirmed that only the Zhang family had not come.
The current head of the Zhang family is Zhang Shidao, a man in his thirties, very different from this girl, so we still need to confirm it.
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang from Zhang Shidao..." One of the male receptionists stopped Xin Jingli.
Xin Jingli shook his head. "No, my name is Xin Jingli, and I have nothing to do with the Zhang family."
The receptionist was stunned.
Xin Jingli?
Never heard of it.
I quickly looked through the list of participants, but there was no one from Dongcheng who came from a wealthy family with the surname Jing.
"Do you have an invitation?"
The organizer sent invitations to eligible families. After all, it was a charitable event. The more people came, the more money the event made, and it would be more prestigious to talk about it to the outside world.
Xin Jingli shook his head again.
"Sorry, you can't come in without an invitation." Receptionist Zou Yue replied.
Thinking she was a liar, Zou Yue's tone became harsh.
He has seen too many people like this. Some are internet celebrities who want to take pictures to attract attention and gain popularity; some want to use tricks to marry into a wealthy family, or they are chasing after a certain director to discuss cooperation. In any case, they are not good people, and if he lets them in, he is afraid that something will happen.
"After all, this is a high-end auction. Not just anyone can get in." Zou Yue said with disdain.
Xu Ya pushed Zou Yue, signaling him to speak less as they were all guests.
"This is your first time to be a receptionist at such a large event. You don't understand. Some people will do anything for profit," he said sarcastically.
Xu Ya looked embarrassed. The notice she received clearly stated that as long as the deposit met the requirements, one could come, and an invitation letter was not necessary.
"Do you have relevant proof? Such as deposit or ID, so you can enter." Xu Ya said with a smile to Xin Jingli.
"Yes." Xin Jingli replied.
Xu Ya glanced at Zou Yue: See, you've offended people by talking too much, right?
Zou Yue was stunned, his pupils trembling.
His attitude just now… If she really was the Sweeping Monk, the new wealthy family in East City, wouldn’t his job be over?
It’s bad. If I had known this, I would have restrained myself.
Zou Yue swallowed his saliva, his palms sweating, staring intently at Xin Jingli's hand reaching into her bag, to see what she was going to take out, and praying in his heart that she was not some important person.
In her bag, Xin Jingli held the Fujin black card but did not take it out.
Everyone who came here today must recognize this card. The last time this card was recognized, Old Master Qin wanted to serve her like a slave. Even the arrogant Qin Mo treated her with respect because of this card.
If I reveal my identity, will it bring me trouble? If I am targeted by someone with ulterior motives, won't I be doomed?
"Forget it, I won't go in." Xin Jingli closed his bag.
Don't show your money to others, it's important to save your life.
Anyway, the investment company still has a backup candidate, Xi Jiyu, and there will be many more after the auction, so there is no need to rush.
When Zou Yue heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't help but snort.
I was almost fooled by her. I really thought she knew everything about my background.
"You're just pretending to be stubborn." Zou Yue clicked his tongue.
Xin Jingli had no intention of arguing with Zou Yue. She had seen many people like him who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. It didn't matter to her. If she got angry every day, wouldn't she get angry?
So he shrugged and turned around.
Zou Yue's cheerful greeting came from the back: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, please come in!"
Xin Jingli raised his eyelids.
A man in his thirties was walking towards me, biting a cigar, with a three-centimeter scar protruding on his brow and a stern look in his eyes.
The man stood three steps away from her, looking her over, then at her bag, and said in a low voice: "This lady is traveling with me, let her in."
After saying that, the man walked past her and entered the gate without looking back.
Xin Jingli looked at his indifferent back, confused.
She has no relationship with this person, why should she help her?
"It's good to be beautiful. Resources come to you very quickly. It's a pity that you have to spend them while you still have time." Zou Yue said with a sour tone.
He has already confirmed that she is a sparrow, and being favored by Zhang Shidao is not a good thing. Zhang Shidao is cruel in his actions. He originally said that he was planning to cultivate a very popular band, but after a drink, the band disappeared, wow.
Xu Ya pushed Zou Yue and said to Xin Jingli, "He is Zhang Shidao, the leader of the Zhang family. You can go in."
Xin Jingli nodded confusedly, turned and went in, and by the way, she wanted to ask Zhang Shidao why he wanted to help her.
The auction was held in a villa in the form of a cocktail party, where people could relax and drink while chatting and bidding and hammering. No assistants were needed, and the presidents and directors raised the bids themselves.
After Xin Jingli entered, he searched every corner of the villa but did not see Zhang Shidao.
The auction had already begun, so she had no choice but to stand in the crowd with her wine glass, listening to the auctioneer's explanation and preparing to bid.
The first few items were tea bowls, jade seals, pearl pendants, etc. She was not interested in them and the response from others was lukewarm.
Until a diamond necklace appeared, everyone started whispering to each other.
"This is the last piece by the famous designer DH, 'Diamond and Love.' He said it was a gift to his first love, for whom he never married. However, DH passed away ten years ago and still doesn't know who his first love was."
"I heard that this was a promise he made with his first love, to auction the necklace off for charity this year."
"I only heard about it at first, but now I see that the necklace is indeed beautiful. The starting price is much..."
Before everyone finished their discussion, the auctioneer announced that the starting price of the necklace was 300 million yuan, causing the audience to gasp.
It's just charity work. Three hundred million yuan to buy a necklace. No matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this.
For Xin Jingli, this necklace is like putting jewelry on Barbie dolls when she was playing house as a child. It is shiny and beautiful.
She can't wear it outside, but it should be quite ornamental to put it at home.
Besides, the background story is so beautiful and it fits her dog-licking system, so I might as well buy one and try it out.
Just as he was about to raise his paddle, the auctioneer made a bid: "Mr. Xi bids three hundred and one hundred million!"
Mr. Xi?
Xin Jingli followed the crowd's gaze and looked over. Xi Jiyu was holding up the number plate, looking as if he was determined to take off the necklace.
It seems that they are opponents today.
Xin Jingli also raised a sign.
"This lady bids three hundred and thirty thousand."
Xi Jiyu turned around and frowned when he saw Xin Jingli.
Such an expensive price, if it wasn't for its special meaning, no one would be willing to buy it. How could Xin Jingli...
Thinking of the way she signed the contract to buy the villa, Xi Jiyu was not surprised anymore. She never blinked an eye when spending money.
This necklace is very precious to grandma, he must take it as a birthday present. If Xin Jingli gets angry, he will give her another gift to apologize.
Xi Jiyu raised the sign.
Xin Jingli was not surprised. The Xi family was on par with the Qin family in Dongcheng, and three hundred million was not a lot for him.
What a pity, she has a Fujin black card.
Xin Jingli raised the sign again.
After some negotiation, the price came to 500 million.
Everyone thought this was the pinnacle, just charity, there was no need to spend so much money.
Xi Jiyu raised the sign again, looked at Xin Jingli, nodded to her, and smiled gentlemanly.
I'm sorry, I can accept other things, but not this necklace.
Xin Jingli shook his hands, tired of lifting.
The auctioneer counts down.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the war was over, but the next second, they all gasped.
Xin Jingli raised the rose in his left hand.
Roses can be seen everywhere at the auction site. Today's rules have an additional rule: raising a rose is equivalent to a buyout, and no matter who raises the price, she will automatically raise it by 10 million.
"Is this girl so heroic?"
"Whose daughter is this? She's young, but she's so generous?"
"How much must she like this necklace?"
"Five hundred million? That's not that bad, is it?"
…
Xi Jiyu clenched his fists.
Crazy! If someone makes trouble and deliberately bids the price, won’t she lose a lot?
Knowing that she would not give up until she got it, Xi Jiyu put away the sign and took a deep breath.
It’s better not to let her spend more money.
At the same time, on the second floor, Zhang Shidao sat on the sofa, holding a cigar, with one corner of his mouth raised, his eyes falling on the face of a girl who was outstandingly beautiful in the crowd.
When he was at the door, he saw what she took out of her bag. Although it was just a corner, he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Now, she has the confidence to raise the rose, which means that what she has in her bag is the Fujin Black Card.
This girl is not simple.
"Zhang Ao, go check the background of this girl." Zhang Shidao instructed his assistant.
"Yes." The man in a black suit beside him nodded, his face full of flesh.
Zhang Shidao raised his eyebrows when he heard the auctioneer congratulate Xin Jingli on winning the necklace.
The Zhang family's business has always been divided into three parts with the Xi family and the Qin family. If they can cooperate with the Fujin black card holders, it will only take a few minutes for the Zhang family to swallow up the Xi and Qin families and reach the top of East City.
