Gender-swapped Beautiful Girl, the Godly Rich System Takes Me to New Heights!

193: Heading to the land of cherry blossomsLei Jun didn’t chat much with Wang Quanfu; it was enough to clarify the core issues.

Wang Quanfu wanted to keep her for dinner, repeatedly saying, ”I must properly thank Director Lei,” but Lei Jun waved her hand in refusal: ”Don’t bother. Just have the teams coordinate for the follow-up; I have other matters to attend to.”

As Wang Quanfu watched Lei Jun’s departing figure, his heart was filled with both respect and admiration.

This Director Lei looked young, but she handled things decisively and without any pretenses; no wonder she could control three trillion-level companies.

He quickly instructed the executives around him: ”Take note, everyone. Set up the specialized team for solid-state batteries first thing tomorrow morning. Be proactive in coordinating with Ali and Xiaomi; we can’t let Director Lei worry about it.”

Lei Jun walked out of the BYD headquarters, where the evening breeze carried the unique humid heat of Pengcheng.

Lei Ying asked: ”Miss, where to next?”

”Just a casual stroll to see the night view of Pengcheng.”

The streets were brightly lit, and many lights were still on in the distant office buildings, conveying a sense of hard-working drive.

Lei Ying hailed a car and they drove along Binhai Avenue.

The coconut trees by the roadside cast mottled shadows under the lights, and the sea breeze blew in through the car window, carrying a hint of saltiness.

After wandering until after ten o’clock at night, Lei Jun felt it was enough: ”That’s fine, let’s head back.”

...The early morning flight had few people. Lei Jun took a nap in first class and had already arrived in Modu by the time she woke up.

Returning to her home at Tomson Riviera, Su Qing had already prepared breakfast. Seeing her return, she hurried to greet her: ”Miss, you’re back? Would you like to eat something before resting?”

Lei Jun shook her head; she wasn’t very hungry. She walked straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down, habitually summoning the system interface.

As soon as she opened it, a new mission window popped up.

[godly tycoon mission: In three days, the Tokyo International Art Auction will auction a Dragon Country national treasure—the southern song dynasty official kiln celadon string pattern vase. Please, host, successfully bid for this cultural relic and donate it to the Dragon Country National Museum. Mission Reward: 10,000 godly tycoon coins.]

Lei Jun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Something from the southern song dynasty official kiln was a rare treasure in its own right, and moreover, it was a national treasure lost overseas.

Rather, this item originally belonged to Dragon Country.

She had seen many news reports about cultural relics lost overseas before and felt it was a pity every time. Now that she had the chance to personally bring one back without having to find a channel herself, the system was essentially doing her a favor.

Looking at the reward again, 10,000 godly tycoon coins.

Not bad.

Lei Jun’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa as she quickly calculated in her head.

First was the timing; with the auction in three days, there was plenty of time to depart now.

It wouldn’t be difficult to take a leave of absence from her classes at Shanghai University.

Then there was the money; the auction price for a southern song dynasty official kiln vase would certainly not be low.

But for her, this amount of money was nothing at all.

Next was the safety issue.

Going to Japan and bringing back a national treasure would inevitably involve some risks.

However, she had Lei Ying. She had complete confidence in Lei Ying’s strength—with 5 tons of explosive power, defense capable of stopping bullets, and various fighting techniques, ordinary trouble was simply not an issue.

Moreover, her own body had undergone extreme reinforcement; her strength and speed far exceeded that of ordinary people, so she could handle things herself if she really encountered trouble.

The only thing to watch out for was that there might be other competitors at the auction, such as other collectors or people who intentionally wanted to drive up the price. She would have to bid decisively when the time came to prevent anyone from ruining it.

Also, after winning the bid, she needed to arrange the transport channel in advance to safely ship the vase back to the country and avoid any mishaps in between.

As for the difficulty of the mission itself, Lei Jun felt it wasn’t high.

It was nothing more than spending money, traveling, bidding on the item, and donating it. The steps were clear, with no complicated segments.

The 10,000 godly tycoon coins reward would just happen to fill the gap left by her previous purchase of God-tier Horsemanship, and she might even have some extra left over for backup.

The system mall might offer even more useful skills in the future, so it was always good to save up more godly tycoon coins.

More importantly, donating a national treasure to the National Museum was a meaningful act.

It was much more valuable than simply spending hundreds of millions on a luxury item; at least it would give her peace of mind.

Having thought through these points, Lei Jun had already made her decision.

She stood up and spoke with Lei Ying, letting her make the arrangements.

”Yes, Miss,” Lei Ying immediately responded. ”Do I need to arrange the flight tickets, hotel, and auction entry qualifications in advance?”

”Yes,” Lei Jun nodded. ”Book the flight for tomorrow morning, choose a hotel close to the auction venue, and get the entry qualifications sorted as soon as possible. Also, contact a reliable transport company that can safely move a fragile item from Tokyo back to Modu and then deliver it to the National Museum.”

”Understood, I’ll take care of it now.” Lei Ying turned to make the arrangements, her movements clean and efficient.

Lei Jun took out her phone and requested a leave of absence from counselor Chen Jing.

The counselor hesitated for a moment but quickly agreed.

After hanging up, Lei Jun looked up information on the southern song dynasty official kiln celadon string pattern vase.

This vase was fired in the southern song dynasty official kiln, with a moist green glaze and regular string patterns; it was porcelain used by the imperial family at the time. It was later lost overseas during a period of war and had been kept by private collectors; this was its first public auction.

After reading the information, Lei Jun was even more certain: this item must be brought back.

Early the next morning, Lei Jun and Lei Ying boarded a flight to Tokyo.

In the first-class cabin, Lei Ying handed her the organized information: ”Miss, the auction entry qualifications are settled. The hotel is booked at the Peninsula Tokyo. I’ve contacted a special channel of Dragon Country International Logistics for the transport company; there will be security following the whole way, and they have extensive experience in transporting fragile items.”

”Additionally, I checked the other bidders for this auction. There are several Japanese tycoons and European collectors who might be interested in the Celadon String Pattern Vase.”

Lei Jun took the documents and scanned them quickly: ”Got it. After we reach the hotel, check the backgrounds of those competitors in more detail and see what their approximate bidding limits are.”

”Understood.”

Over ten hours later, the plane landed at Tokyo Narita Airport. Lei Ying had already arranged a car to take them directly to the hotel.

The hotel room was spacious and luxurious, with a view of the Tokyo cityscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lei Jun was in no mood to appreciate it. After putting down her luggage, she said to Lei Ying: ”Go check the information on the competitors. I’ll rest for a bit, then go out to eat something in the evening and familiarize myself with the environment while I’m at it.”

Lei Ying complied and left, while Lei Jun leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes to rest her mind.

She didn’t fall asleep; her mind was still going over the auction process.

After arriving at the venue tomorrow, she would first observe the situation. Once the Celadon String Pattern Vase came up, she would bid directly without slowly haggling; as long as the price was right, she would hit the ceiling directly to avoid any complications from a long delay.

In the evening, Lei Jun and Lei Ying went to an izakaya near the hotel.

There weren’t many people in the izakaya, mostly office workers drinking and chatting.

Lei Jun ordered several skewers and a bowl of miso soup; the taste was average, not as much to her liking as what Su Qing made.

While she was eating, several men at the next table, wearing black suits and sporting tattoos, kept looking over.

The leader was a man with a buzz cut and a scar on his face; his eyes were sinister as he stared fixedly at Lei Jun’s silver hair.
