Lin Xiyu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. How could she not know what Hu Yidao was planning?
She hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Go back and tell Chairman Hu that I am not the kind of woman he thinks I am!"
The young man sneered, "What are you pretending to be innocent for? You deliberately approached Chairman Hu just to get his attention? To throw yourself into his arms?"
Lin Xiyu's face turned ashen with anger, and she snapped, "You're talking nonsense! I just have something I want to ask him!"
The young man scoffed, "Even if what you're saying is true, so what?"
"Besides using your body, what else do you have that could persuade Chairman Hu to help you?"
The young man's words were very realistic, and Lin Xiyu had no way to refute them.
Seeing that Lin Xiyu remained silent, the young man sneered, "If you're not pure water, don't pretend to be. You only get one chance; once you miss it, it's gone!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lin Xiyu's face was extremely pale, as if she had been slapped hard several times, and the pain was burning.
Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue both looked at Lin Xiyu with sympathy. She had not only failed to accomplish her task, but had also been humiliated in the end.
sad!
At this moment, Lin Xiyu suddenly looked at Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue and said coldly, "Do you want to laugh at me? Then laugh, don't hold it in!"
Qin Feng and Mu Qingxue both rolled their eyes, ignored Lin Xiyu, and continued eating and drinking!
Lin Xiyu was furious when she was ignored, but she eventually suppressed her anger and kept quiet.
......
After the dinner, the charity auction began.
The host is Yang Danni, a beautiful presenter from Binhai TV!
After Yang Danni took the stage and gave a long, high-sounding opening speech, the charity auction officially began.
All items tonight were provided by people present, and all proceeds will be donated to charity.
The first item up for auction was of exceptional value: an antique from the Ming and Qing dynasties, provided by Hu Yidao.
The starting bid was one million, and it was eventually sold for a high price of ten million.
The next few items were valued between 100,000 and 500,000.
Qin Feng had no interest whatsoever and kept dozing off at the dining table.
Mu Qingxue occasionally bid, but she never won a single item.
As for Lin Xiyu, she always seemed preoccupied, as if she was wondering whether to go to room 8888 for a date after the charity auction.
Just as Qin Feng was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, which immediately woke him up. He looked up at the auction stage.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked up to Yang Danni, carrying a transparent, fist-sized, cyan-colored sphere.
The spiritual energy fluctuations that Qin Feng sensed came from this unknown sphere.
He was shocked after just one glance.
This thing is actually a spirit stone, and a top-grade one at that.
We live in the Dharma-ending Age, where spiritual energy is scarce. How could top-grade spirit stones possibly be born in such an environment?
Spirit stones contain pure spiritual energy, which can help cultivators increase their cultivation speed after being absorbed.
If he can absorb this top-grade spirit stone, he will definitely be able to advance to the second level of Qi Refining Realm.
He was determined to get the top-grade spirit stone!
Yang Danni then introduced, "This is a rare gemstone provided by General Manager Zhu of Qiyuan Jewelry. It is said that wearing it for a long time can prolong life!"
"Whether it's true or not is unknown!"
"Therefore, the starting bid is three thousand, and there is no limit to the increment!"
Hearing Yang Danni's words, Qin Feng was overjoyed. As long as no one knew the value of the item, there would definitely be few people participating in the auction.
In that case, he could acquire it at a very low price.
At this moment, Hu Yidao looked at Zhu Enwu, the general manager of Qiyuan Jewelry, with a half-smile and said sarcastically, "General Manager Zhu, aren't you being a bit too stingy?"
"They actually tried to fool people with such a broken stone, claiming it could prolong life?"
"Heh, if this broken stone had such effects, would you be willing to take it out?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhu Enwu said with a smile, "Chairman Hu, you're right. I was indeed a bit stingy!"
"How about this, if the price of this broken stone doesn't exceed 100,000 later, I'll just pay 200,000 myself to buy it back!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yidao said nothing more.
After a while, still no one was bidding, and Yang Danni was about to announce that the item had failed to sell when Qin Feng spoke up. "One hundred thousand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qin Feng.
"Huh? It's actually this kid! Spending 100,000 on a broken rock, looks like President Mu gave him a lot, he's rich and capricious!"
"Heh, just a pretty boy, and he thinks he can be so rich and willful?"
"President Mu..."
Hearing these whispers, Mu Qingxue suddenly stood up with a dark expression and said coldly, "Would you die if you didn't gossip?"
"Or do you think I'm too kind to hold a grudge against you?"
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyu was shocked. Just who was this woman?
The moment she opened her mouth, everyone was so frightened that they shut up.
Hu Yidao then stood up with a smile and looked at Mu Qingxue, saying, "President Mu, I thought you weren't coming tonight. Who would have thought you'd be sitting in the corner!"
Long Haoyu also stood up and looked at Mu Qingxue, saying, "President Mu, why don't you come to the front? Otherwise, Brother Hu and I wouldn't dare sit here."
Mu Qingxue smiled and said, "Just pretend I don't exist, let the auction continue!"
Hu Yidao and Long Haoyu exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.
Just as Long Haoyu was about to sit back down, his gaze fell on Qin Feng's face, and he immediately recognized Qin Feng as the little miracle doctor who had saved his daughter's life.
However, he merely frowned, made no attempt to greet anyone, and simply sat down.
Lin Xiyu was in turmoil, utterly shocked.
The fact that two local bigwigs from Binhai were so polite to Mu Qingxue made her even more curious about Mu Qingxue's identity.
The auction proceeded as scheduled, and no one participated in the bidding for the top-grade spirit stone. In the end, Qin Feng acquired it for 100,000 yuan.
Seeing Qin Feng fondling the top-grade spirit stone after receiving it, Lin Xiyu couldn't help but say, "Qin Feng, you're wasting too much money!"
"Even though your money comes easily, you shouldn't spend it so recklessly!"
Qin Feng was speechless. "How could my money come easily? Do you know how much effort and sweat I put in?"
Lin Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of disdain, "Not ashamed of it, but proud of it, Qin Feng, you are not a man at all!"
She mistakenly thought that Qin Feng meant putting in effort and sweat by exercising with Mu Qingxue.
Little did they know that Qin Feng was referring to the effort and sweat he had put into treating Long Haoyu's daughter.
Qin Feng knew Lin Xiyu had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain and simply retorted, "I like it, what's it to you?"
