When these old folks saw that Ye Chen was not responding, they beca anxious. “Little brother, this matter is extrely important to us. Please tell us the truth.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. Naturally, he would not reveal the truth to this group of people. “Get your boss to talk to .”
Hearing this, everyone finally reacted. They had indeed been too anxious. There was no way he would reveal such an important thing to them.
Old man Wu hurriedly said to Ye Chen, “Little brother, please follow .”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen followed the old man into the elevator, going up to the tenth floor. He was then led out of the elevator, and soon arrived in front of a door with the room number 001.
The old man knocked on the door lightly, and a lazy-sounding female voice responded.
“Co in.”
“Little brother, please wait outside for a mont,” said old man Wu.
“Alright.”
Inside Room 001, a woman in her 30s was sitting on the sofa. She was wearing a light pink cheongsam which showed off her perfect, curvaceous figure
The woman did not even spare the old man a glance. She asked indifferently, “What’s the matter?”
The old man bowed with his head lowered, and carefully said, “Miss, soone wants to put sothing up for auction.”
“You can make the decision on the matter.” The woman’s eyes were closed, and the faint flow of air around her made her look rather mysterious.
“But miss… The other party took out a dicinal pill…”
As soon as the old man said that, the woman’s eyes suddenly flew open in surprise. “A dicinal pill? Are you certain?”
The old man quickly stepped forward and took out Ye Chen’s dicinal pill. The woman’s fingers made a light gesture, and the dicinal pill was sucked into her hand. Her beautiful eyes swept over it, and she suddenly exclaid, “It’s indeed a real dicinal pill. And judging from its color, it was made less than a month ago.”
“Miss, I concur.”
“Is the owner of this pill outside? Is he an old man?” The woman asked.
“No, no, no. The other party is a young man in his twenties.”
“Let him in.”
“Understood.”
After so ti, Ye Chen was invited into the room and the old man left, leaving him with the woman.
He looked over toward the woman in the cheongsam on the sofa and was slightly surprised. According to Xia Ruoxue’s information, this woman was probably the person in charge of the auction.
A woman in her thirties was actually the big boss?
“Have a seat.” The woman in the cheongsam said.
Ye Chen sat down and the other party poured him a cup of tea. Then, she introduced herself. “My na is Jin Lengyan. How should I address you, little brother?”
Little brother…
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and simply said, “Ye Chen.”
Jin Lengyan’s red lips curved up. “Ye Chen… What a good na. However, I’m much older than you, so I’ll call you little brother from now on.”
After she finished speaking, she even glanced at Ye Chen’s crotch, intentionally or otherwise, and giggled.
Although the woman in front of him was rather charming, Ye Chen was not interested in her at all. He went directly to the point, “Enough with the nonsense. Can my pill be auctioned or not?”
Jin Lengyan nodded. “Of course they can. It’s just that I don’t know where you got this pill from, little brother.”
Jin Lengyan’s beautiful eyes glanced and winked at him.
“I don’t think I need to tell you that.” Ye Chen replied coldly.
Jin Lengyan was stunned. She imdiately smiled and said, “That’s right. I was getting ahead of myself. Little brother, how many of these dicinal pills do you plan to auction?”
Ye Chen took out a few more pills from his pocket and placed them on the table. “Five.”
Even though Jin Lengyan was ntally prepared, her eyes flickered slightly when she saw the five pills.
“Miss Jin, how much do you think these five pills can be sold for?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“At least 1 billion yuan.” Jin Lengyan looked at the pills and gulped. She said, “However, the rarer sothing is, the more valuable it is. If you want to maximize the profit, I suggest that you only put one up for auction.”
Ye Chen naturally understood Jin Lengyan’s intentions. He smiled and said, “If that’s the case, then please state your price for the other four pills, Miss Jin.”
Jin Lengyan’s breathing quickened. She stared at Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, would you be willing to sell these four pills to the Jin family?”
Unknowingly, even the way she addressed him had changed.
Ye Chen nodded. “However, I’m just not sure if the Jin family can afford them.”
Jin Lengyan quickly took out a bank card from her bag and said to Ye Chen respectfully, “Mr. Ye, this card contains one billion yuan. The pin number for the card is 256678. It represents all my current assets, and I’ll use it to purchase these four pills from you. Of course, this is far from enough, so I’ll add another condition.”
“From now on, my Jin family owes Mr. Ye a favor. Regardless of the problem, my Jin family will do our best to help you resolve it.”
Ye Chen nodded. Originally, the lowest price he would receive for all five pills was one billion yuan. Now that they were being sold separately, he reaped a much larger profit by exchanging four pills for one billion yuan, in addition to a favor from the Jin family.
“It’s a deal then. As for the one that’s going to be auctioned, you can just transfer the money to this card as well.” Ye Chen stood up and left because the auction was about to begin.
“Mr. Ye, take care.”
After Ye Chen left, Jin Lengyan looked at the dicinal pill in her palm and fell into a state of deep thought.
After a long ti, she made a call and gave so instructions to the other party, “Help
investigate a person nad Ye Chen. I want every single piece of information there is regarding this person, including that of anyone he has been in contact with in the past six months.”
? ?
By the ti Ye Chen arrived at the auction, he realized that it had already started.
He quickly located Xia Ruoxue and Zhu Zixuan. There was an empty seat beside them, which had obviously been left for him.
He walked over and sat down.
Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes looked at Ye Chen in surprise. Then, she smiled and asked, “Did you get enough money?”
Ye Chen nodded. “One billion yuan. My luck wasn’t too bad.”
“Pfft!”
Zhu Zixuan, who was drinking water next to them, imdiately spat it out.
Xia Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Ye Chcn.”You were only gone a mont, yet your bragging technique seems to have improved by leaps and bounds. Can your stupid formula actually be sold for one billion yuan? See, even Zixuan doesn’t believe you.”
Ye Chen did not pay her any mind and focused his attention directly on the stage.
At the mont, a famous painting was being auctioned off. The price had already been raised to 40 million, before finally won by a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
“The next item is the last item of the first segnt. It’s called the Tears of the Stars. It’s the final work of the jewelry master of Jiangnan Province, Ding Yuanchang, before his death. Unfortunately, it’s only a half-finished product. It’s said that once old master Ding completed it, he was going to give it to his granddaughter.”
“Unfortunately, that never ca to pass, as he passed away before he could finish it. The auction item was stolen a few years ago. The last ti it appeared was at an auction in Country F five years ago. This ti, it was contributed by a collector from overseas. The starting price is 60 million, and each bid incrent must be no lower than 2 million.”
Initially, Ye Chen was not very interested in this thing. However, he was surprised to find that Xia Ruoxue’s delicate body was trembling beside him.
He turned around and noticed that Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were red. Tears were dripping down her cheeks. Her slender fingers were gripping the armrest tightly as she stared at the Tears of the Stars on the stage.
She was extrely agitated.
Ye Chen also looked at the Tears of the Stars on the stage. Could it be that the story the host had told was true?
Xia Ruoxue was Ding Yuanchang’s granddaughter!
