C23 A Sensation All over the City
The Heart of the Seas was sealed in a golden jade box, which was handed over to the Helian Family Enforcer Lau Rusi under the gazes of tens of thousands of people.
After that, with a respectful expression, Lau Rusi walked step by step, using the highest etiquette to protect Heart of the Seas as she entered the private room on the second floor.
This scene was witnessed by the tens of thousands of gentry on the field, immediately creating a huge uproar.
"Just as I said, before the Heart of the Seas is auctioned off, it is given to the important person in the room!"
"Oh god, what kind of status does Chairman Liu have? How could he be so respectful to that person? I can only imagine how terrifying that person's identity is …"
Without the Heart of the Seas, tonight's auction had lost all its highlights. However, none of the reputable characters like Yuezhou were disappointed, and guessing the identity of the important person in the box on the second floor had become the topic of discussion for them today.
However, no one could guess the reason why. With their knowledge and experience, how could they guess what kind of person the Helian Family were able to treat with such care?
At eight o'clock sharp, the bell in the auditorium rang. Without the Heart of the Seas, there were still many items to be auctioned at the auction, so the gentlemen present today still had the opportunity to bid for the precious collection.
The host walked up to the stage with a microphone in his hand and a few staff members carrying a box behind him.
"Everyone, although we no longer have the Heart of the Sea, we still have many rare treasures today. I hope everyone will participate."
Pointing to the dazzling necklace in the box behind him, the host introduced loudly:
"Please set your sights on today's first item. This is a necklace made of pure gold. Its pendant has ten rare red diamonds embedded on it. The starting price is thirty million. Let the auction begin now!"
"Thirty five million!"
"50 million!"
As soon as he finished, the hall was filled with the sounds of bidding.
"Eighty million going once!"
"Eighty million twice!"
"80 million, third place …"
Just as the gavel in the host's hand was about to hit the floor, her body suddenly froze in place.
He saw the red light of "Double" shining on the French windows of the upper class box on the second floor.
"My god!"
The host exclaimed, "The honored guests on the second floor bid twice the price, at 160 million!"
"Hua!"
Hearing the price, all the gentry present raised their heads and exclaimed.
The following auctions were extremely dull, and any valuables were easily bought by the mysterious person on the second floor at double the price.
The tens of thousands of rich and powerful Yuezhou cultivators who had arrived today all returned empty-handed.
Inside the high class box, Chu Yun saw that there were no more valuable jewelry for sale. He turned around and said to Zhang Cheng, "Call the staff. Pay up. We need to go home."
Zhang Cheng immediately nodded and pressed the button on the table. A staff member immediately walked in and Zhang Cheng took out a bank card from his suit pocket.
"Card swipe!"
However, the person did not even extend his hand to receive the card. Instead, he bent down and said, "Esteemed customer, all of your items have been paid for by Miss Lau Rusi. You may leave immediately with your items."
"This …"
Zhang Cheng looked back at Chu Yun, not knowing what to do.
Chu Yun's expression turned cold. He snatched the bank card from Zhang Cheng and stuffed it into the staff member's hand. Then he said in a low voice:
"Listen up, your bank card must fall on Lau Rusi's face. Tell her, I don't lack money!"
After saying that, Chu Yun turned around and left the room. The staff was so scared that their whole body trembled and their legs went soft.
Using the bank card to throw Lau Rusi, even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to do it!
Zhang Cheng lightly patted his shoulder and said sincerely, "Just do as you're told. Don't worry, Mr. Liu will not make things difficult for you!"
"Yes sir!"
… ….
On the second day, Yuezhou Daily, Yuezhou News, Yuezhou Radio, and other major media headlines were surprisingly unanimous:
"The mysterious rich and powerful offer their Yuezhou, Sea Heart, and other rare treasures for a sky-high price!"
From the big families in Yuezhou to the commoners in the streets, they all speculated about the identity of this mysterious rich man. However, they all had no clue.
In the office of the chairman of Feathered company's top floor.
"Zhang Cheng, three days later, in the center of Yuezhou, in the Pearl Tower, I want to hold a grand banquet that has never been seen before. You can go and invite the various great families to attend it."
Zhang Cheng immediately nodded and said, "Chairman Chu, in your personal name …"
"Send the letter anonymously!"
"Understood!"
This was the old rule. It was not in the name of Feathered company, nor did it expose Chu Yun's identity.
Just as Zhang Cheng was about to take his orders to leave, Chu Yun specifically ordered: "Don't forget Qin Family!"
"Qin Family?"
Qin Ruoxi and Zhang Cheng naturally did not forget to notify them, but he did not know if this Qin Family included Qin Wenhan and the others.
"Qin Wenhan wants to be notified too?"
"Inform me!"
Chu Yun revealed a cold smile. How could they miss out on such an occasion?
Qin Wenhan, Qin Yang, it's time to let you guys have a taste.
… ….
Patriarch of the Qin Family Palace.
Qin Wenhan felt like he was dreaming as he received the invitation from his secretary.
"Grandpa, have you seen today's news?"
"Nonsense, the mysterious great character offered his Yuezhou, and sold off dozens of items at sky-high prices. How could I not know, that this invitation card was most likely sent by him!"
Qin Yang was wild with joy. Ever since Feathered broke with them, many large families stopped their business dealings with them, and their Qin Family was on the verge of collapsing.1
Just when they were about to give up struggling, the life-saving invitation once again showed them hope.
Qin Wenhan touched the diamond seal wax at the opening of the invitation card and laughed loudly, "That's right, this is definitely an invitation from a big shot. Look at this seal wax!"
The diamonds on the wax must be real, and just this one gem should be worth more than ten thousand, and I heard that over a hundred great clans have received this invitation.
"Everyone knows that our Feathered has collapsed, and yet he still sent us an invitation card. It's clear that he's not afraid of Feathered Corporation at all. Grandfather, we're saved!"
Qin Wenhan turned around and looked at him, a light flashed across his eyes.
"You mean …"
"That's right, as long as we use this opportunity to build a relationship with this big shot, our Qin Family will definitely bring back the dead!"
Qin Wenhan nodded his head, and felt that Qin Yang's words made sense. Right now, the only person who could save Qin Family from water and fire was this important person, who even the Helian Family race did not dare to slight!
"Inform him immediately and use all the power in the family to investigate his identity. Once you have an idea, find a way to get close to him!"
"Yes sir!"
Qin Yang did not dare to delay at all. Right now, they had to race against the various great families, wanting to gain the upper hand before them. They had to find this important figure and gain his goodwill in order to save Qin Family in the face of danger.
At the same time, Qin Ruoxi's family also received an invitation, and two of them at that.
One was naturally an invitation card with a diamond seal on it, and the other was sent over by Chiang Family.
Xie Huiqin held the two invitation cards and danced as she said, "Oh my god, we were also invited. The ancestral tombs are really full of smoke. Ruoxin, come over quickly. Your wife has sent us an invitation card!"
One was the diamond invitation that had been spread throughout the entire process, and the other was really from Chiang Family, saying that they would be sending a professional driver to bring them to the banquet that day.
Qin Ruoxi showed an envious expression and laughed, "We, Little Xin, have really good prospects. We've found such a good home!"
Qin Ruoxin wrinkled her nose and shyly said, "Sis, stop teasing me!"
Qin Xiaoyu, who didn't know what was going on, suddenly jumped in front of Qin Ruoxi and hugged her leg. "Dad is also mother's good home!"
Xie Huiqin snorted disdainfully at this. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll get angry just by mentioning that piece of trash. If it wasn't for him, would we have been driven out by Qin Family?"
