In a huge and luxurious venue.

Although the lights of various colorful lamps are bright, they do not look dazzling.

The ambient brightness is just maintained at a comfortable level that allows people to see things clearly while making the environment appear quieter.

The people coming and going all seem to be of high quality.

Almost all of them are wearing suits or tuxedos.

Between words and actions.

It is even rarer to see loud shouting.

Even the waiters in the venue were wearing standard suits of very good quality.

They walked around the venue with smiles on their faces.

and.

Still a relatively normal smile.

It wasn't the kind of classic service industry smile that made people wonder if the thing was fixed with glue.

In this environment.

Qianshan Xuehui and the others seemed a little restrained.

They all followed Xi Shenlian closely, like henchmen following a leader.

Xi Shenlian, on the other hand, followed the waiter with an indifferent look on his face.

The attitude is more casual than shopping.

en route.

Naturally, their group attracted a lot of attention.

After all, at such high-end auctions, visitors either come alone or in groups of three or four. It is quite rare to see a group of eight people like Xi Shenlian and his group sitting at a table.

In addition, there were seven beauties among the group, which naturally attracted more attention.

but.

Look around.

Even though you are surrounded by seven beautiful flowers.

Xi Shenlian is still the most eye-catching one.

Not to mention the overly eye-catching appearance.

Just the ruthless steps and the calm eyes made everyone know who the boss is.

…

After a while.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Xi Shenlian and his friends successfully arrived at their seats.

It was a large VIP room on the third floor.

Outside the room, on the protruding balcony, there is a neat large wooden table, with ten high-end chairs neatly distributed around it.

What is completely foreseeable is that when you are in this private room, you only need to stand at the edge of the balcony and lower your head slightly to easily overlook the participants in the conference hall.

Stand higher.

He casually looked down at the participants who all had quite extraordinary identities.

Just like the other participants looked down upon those ordinary people who were doing nothing...

The whole thing is full of a sense of condescension between classes.

Maybe that would be a refreshing feeling...

but.

What’s more important is that, at this moment, two of the ten chairs are already occupied.

Two guys that Xi Shenlian is very familiar with.

Tian Yuanli and her follower - Fei Songmingji.

“…”

"Why are you here too?"

Facing Xi Shenlian's question.

Tian Yuanli was sitting in his seat and eating melon seeds.

He replied calmly:

"I am the ultimate manager of this auction."

"Of course I'll be here."

"In the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, almost all activities of a large enough scale will involve the participation of the Tianyuan family."

"And this auction is an important event organized by the government..."

"It's no surprise that I'm here."

"Even the invitations you used were sent to you by me."

Explanation completed.

She answered casually:

"how?"

"Any questions?"

In response to this, Xi Shenlian, who got the answer, could only shake his head and replied:

“…No more.”

But Tian Yuanli still had something to say.

She quietly looked at the people accompanying Xi Shenlian.

He immediately sighed softly with an ambiguous tone:

"You really used all eight invitations. Greedy? Blatant?..."

"Miss Qianshan's control over you is not enough?"

"Or can it only be restricted to certain specific aspects?"

Those are words with profound meaning.

This caused Qianshan Xuehui's mind to be filled with question marks:

"???"

However, before she could figure it out, Tian Yuanli pointed to the other empty seats and said:

"Please take a seat."

Beside her, Fei Songmingji, her assistant, stood up and poured hot tea for Xi Shenlian and the others one by one.

…

Wait until everyone is seated.

Tian Yuanli asked Xi Shenlian with some doubt:

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to attend this kind of auction..."

"Are you here just to join in the fun?"

"Or did you see something you wanted in the auction list and come here specifically to buy it?"

Xi Shenlian yawned and replied lazily:

“Is there any difference?”

Tian Yuanli spoke with a normal expression:

"Of course there are some."

"If you're here to buy something, I can make an appointment for you right away."

Qianshan Xuehui was a little confused:

"Direct internal appointment?"

"We have already made a detailed list. Can we still make the internal decision?"

After taking a look at Qianshan Xuehui, Tian Yuanli spoke calmly:

"Of course, just find an insider to raise the price without any limit."

"It's just a transfer from one hand to the other. It doesn't matter how high the bid is."

"Of course, I haven't actually done that kind of thing yet."

"After all, I never spend money on shopping."

“Since I was a kid, everything I used was custom made.”

"As for the rest of what you want, just tell me directly, and someone will bring it to me."

"It wasn't until I was six that I realized that ordinary people needed money to get things..."

Although she only said the word "money".

But the overwhelming power was overwhelming.

Still, Qianshan Xuehui was stunned for a moment.

I opened my mouth unconsciously.

"As expected of the truly privileged class..."

Facing Tian Yuanli's kindness, Xi Shenlian just smiled and said indifferently:

"There's no need to do that."

"Just buy whatever you want."

"I'm not short of money."

“Money is just numbers and paper.”

There is only one meaning between the words.

I just want to show off!

This made Qianshan Xuehui and even Ye Qisaki, Ye Qishi, and Ye Qili all curl their lips at the same time.

Although the four of them knew that Xi Shenlian was very rich, where did his money come from and how much money he had were always unsolved mysteries that puzzled them deeply.

As for Kozue Miyako, Izayoi Qingmiao, Huanyue Meiying, and Feisong Mingji, not much is known.

I just instinctively feel that Xi Shenlian is so generous!

The words are full of a carefree feeling of treating money as dirt! !

But Tian Yuanli agreed straightforwardly:

"That's true."

"It's just some numbers and paper anyway..."

Although Tian Yuanli does not have the ability to create money out of thin air like Xishenlian.

But she actually has a money printing machine at home.

Even the country itself is her family's property.

To her, money is just something outside of her body.

If she didn't need to avoid financial crisis and inflation, she would just print money for fun.
