Jincheng Huihong Building, this was a skyscraper, and today, in the grand conference hall on the 16th floor, a grand auction was taking place.

Chen Furong arrived at the entrance of the auction hall, touched the black card in his pocket, curved the corner of his mouth, and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He had finally come to a day when he could swipe a black card, and it was a Wanguo Bank’s black card too! Although he was basking in Jiang’s glory, today, he absolutely earned his face!

After handing over his invitation to the receptionist at the door, Chen Furong walked into the auction hall with his head held high.

Settling into his seat, Chen Furong glanced around and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

After a while, a man wearing gold-wire glasses ascended to the high platform at the front of the hall, his steps echoing in the space.

”Hello everyone, I am today’s auctioneer, the auction is about to begin, are you all ready?” The man swept a smiling gaze over everyone in the hall.

”Let’s start.”

”Hurry up and start.”

”Exactly, hurry up, we can hardly wait.”

Voices from the crowd started urging him on.

”Alright, let’s not delay any longer, please bring up the first item for auction.” The auctioneer called out with a smile.

As his words fell, two stunning women dressed in Flame Robes carried a painting up to the high platform and placed it on the auctioneer’s table.

The auction began, and the crowd started to call out their bids.

After a while, Chen Furong’s eyes lit up.

”The next item up for auction, the ’Heart of the Ocean’ necklace.” The auctioneer held a brocade box in his hand, opened it, and displayed it for everyone to see: ”This ’Heart of the Ocean’ is made from a pure sapphire from Diamond Country, very rare... The starting bid is 30 million, with a minimum increase of at least 1 million each time, let the bidding begin!”

”30 million!”

As soon as the bidding started, someone immediately called out the starting price.

”31 million!”

”35 million!”

...

”50 million!”

Soon, the ’Heart of the Ocean’ reached a high price of 50 million.

Chen Furong scanned the crowd and lifted his bidding sign, shouting, ”80 million!”

The auction hall instantly quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes towards Chen Furong.

”Who is this guy?”

”Don’t know him, never saw him in Jincheng!”

”Seems like he’s a boss from Jinhai.”

”From Jinhai? Daring to come show off their wealth in our Jincheng?!”

A number of people in the auction hall looked at Chen Furong and began murmuring amongst themselves.

”81 million!”

A voice called out, as a middle-aged beautiful woman placed another bid.

”85 million!”

Chen Furong followed up immediately, his voice full of confidence.

”86 million!”

”90 million!”

...

”110 million!”

In the end, Chen Furong shouted.

The crowd in the hall were momentarily stunned and then turned their gazes once again towards Chen Furong. Chen Furong smiled and nodded to the people around him.

”110 million for the first time.”

”110 million for the second time.”

”100 million and 11 million for the third time, sold!”

Smack!

The auctioneer’s hammer dropped, the deal was sealed!

”Good evening, sir!” A staff member of the auction house approached Chen Furong with a smile, ”Sir, I apologize, but due to the large amount, we need to verify that your funds are sufficient.”

”That’s fine.” Chen Furong nodded indifferently and took out Jiang Chen’s black card from his pocket, handing it to the staff member.

”Is that a black card from Wanguo Bank?!”

”It really is a black card from Wanguo Bank, who is that person?!”

”I didn’t expect Jinhai to have such a hidden tycoon!”

”Not just anyone can get their hands on a Wanguo Bank black card!”

The people around Chen Furong, upon seeing the black card in his hand, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

The auction house staff member was startled for a moment, then said respectfully, ”Sir, I apologize, your funds do not need to be verified.”

”Good.” Chen Furong nodded again.

Aware of the gazes from the surrounding people, Chen Furong felt immensely pleased. This time, leveraging President Jiang’s black card had really earned him face. In the future, doing business in Jincheng would probably be easier.

A while later, the auction ended, and Chen Furong received over a dozen business cards, leaving the auction house content.

...

While the auction was ongoing, Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn were waiting for Chen Furong in front of the Huihong Building’s plaza.

Yè Yùwǎn had felt uncomfortable ever since Jiang Chen said he would buy the Heart of the Ocean, jealousy nagging at her heart. Now, she couldn’t hold back any longer and looked at Jiang Chen with a plaintive expression, ”Didn’t you say that your marriage with Gong Lin was just a contract? Why spend so much money on something for Gong Lin? Aren’t you afraid of being unfair to my sister?”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, ”I can’t be without a conscience, can I? Gong Lin has helped me a lot, and I’ve even tarnished her reputation. This is the least I can do to repay her, and it’s far from enough.”

A strong sense of guilt suddenly surged in Yè Yùwǎn’s heart. She knew she had been overthinking.

At the same time, she was deeply touched by Jiang Chen’s character and looked at him with softness in her eyes, ”Jiang Chen, you’re truly wonderful to be so good to everyone around you.”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback by her words. Suddenly, he realized that his actions might have been somewhat inappropriate. Buying such an expensive gift for Gong Lin in Yu Wan’s presence, without getting anything for Yu Wan herself, must have made her uncomfortable.

Perhaps it would be best to buy something for Yu Wan as well. After all, she is Jing Yi’s sister, and one of the few who has always believed in him.

”Yu Wan, you’ve accompanied me and have been such a help, yet I have nothing to give you in return. If there’s anything you want to buy, I’ll buy it for you. Don’t worry about the price. As long as you like it, the cost doesn’t matter,” Jiang Chen resolved and spoke with a smile, a hint of apology in his eyes.

But no sooner had he spoken did he suddenly realize that buying something for Yè Yùwǎn might also be somewhat inappropriate – could this be misconstrued as buying a gift for a lover? He hoped Yu Wan wouldn’t misunderstand!

Jiang Chen felt uneasy inside.

Yè Yùwǎn’s eyes lit up upon hearing his offer, a surge of joy rising within her, and she teasingly tilted her head, ”Okay, you said it yourself, I won’t be saving you any money. I know you’re wealthy.”

Glancing out of the corner of her eye towards a Patek Philippe watch store adjacent to the plaza, Yè Yùwǎn pointed, ”I want to buy a watch.”

”Okay.”

Jiang Chen nodded. Once the words were out, he certainly couldn’t take them back. Besides, buying something for Yu Wan wasn’t an issue.

The two turned toward the Patek Philippe store.

”Welcome!”

As they entered, the store’s greeter bowed with a smile toward them. Upon getting a clearer view of the pair, a mix of surprise and disdain flashed in their eyes.

Such country bumpkins coming to our Patek Philippe to buy watches? Seems like another freeloader!

After glancing at Jiang Chen, the greeter turned back, smiling at Yè Yùwǎn, ”Miss, let me introduce you to our watches.”

”No need.”

Noticing the greeter’s look toward Jiang Chen, Yè Yùwǎn spoke coldly, ”We’ll just look around by ourselves.”

No sooner had she spoken than Yè Yùwǎn, paying no heed to the greeter’s reaction, began browsing the store’s watches while pulling Jiang Chen along.

After making a round, Yè Yùwǎn stopped in front of a watch that she looked at fondly.

Jiang Chen, noticing Yè Yùwǎn’s affection for the watch, raised his eyebrows and also glanced at the timepiece.

It was a watch known as the ”King of Watches,” priced at 58 million.
