Chapter 401: Chapter 397: Auction (1st update, requesting subscription)

Soon, the video of Ye Chen rejecting a wealthy family was uploaded online.

“DiDi Brother, rejecting a billion-dollar inheritance for love.”

This video imdiately went viral.

“Wow, there really is love in this world.”

“DiDi Brother, it’s him again. Are DiDi drivers this aweso now?”

At this ti, Lin Shiyin’s aunt had already arrived at the hospital room.

“Shiyin, you’ve found yourself a great boyfriend, not only handso and capable, but also unmoved by a billion-dollar inheritance. I can rest assured leaving you to him.”

“Auntie, what are you talking about? We’re just ordinary friends.”

“Co on, stop pretending with Auntie. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

…

In the evening, Lin Shiyin sat in Ye Chen’s DiDi car.

“I just heard you turned down the chance to inherit a billion-dollar fortune.”

Ye Chen was stunned for a mont: “How did you know?”

“My aunt happened to see it and recorded a video for .”

Ye Chen laughed, “Of course, who am I? How could I give up love for a billion-dollar inheritance?”

Lin Shiyin teased, “Haha, do you regret it now?”

“Just a bit.”

“Hmph, you dare.” Lin Shiyin pretended to be angry.

“Haha, money is just a number to , love is the most important.” Ye Chen said sincerely.

Ye Chen’s words made total sense; a billion was not enticing to him.

Mind you, Ye Chen’s assets were worth billions.

An attempt to show off with a billion was way off the mark.

With her father’s illness stabilized, Lin Shiyin could peacefully return to work at school.

“By the way, Ye Chen, I’ve heard so students at our school have been researching nuclear reactors, should we stop them?”

Ye Chen shook his head, “Since they’re researching, let them research. It’s not dangerous.”

Star University was systemically managed, and if there were a danger, the system would alert them.

“Alright, I understand.”

After getting out, Lin Shiyin gave Ye Chen a Five-Star Review.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the 3rd review star, and receiving the system reward of a Basic Antique Shopping Cashback Card.]

The Antique Shopping Cashback Card reimburses ten tis the funds spent when purchasing antiques.

Wow, this is incredible.

To sell antiques, I could look for Li Rongrong.

I’m still a Treasure Appraiser at Li Rongrong’s Treasure Pavilion, yet I haven’t done anything for her yet.

Just as I was thinking of Li Rongrong, she called.

“Ye Chen, I hired you to be a Treasure Appraiser, yet you haven’t even visited our Treasure Pavilion once. Isn’t that a bit much?” Li Rongrong said discontentedly.

“I’ve just been busy, haven’t I?”

“Busy driving DiDi?” Li Rongrong teased.

“You know well, Rongrong.” Ye Chen laughed.

“Hmph, there’s an auction tomorrow, co with .” Li Rongrong said.

“Sure, no problem.” Ye Chen was already eager to go.

With a tenfold Cashback Card, I could make quite the haul.

Just then, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

“Hello, is this Chairman Ye? I’m Li Na, the CEO of Gucci Group in Hua Country.”

“Oh, hello.”

“Chairman Ye, according to Gucci’s rules, the major stakeholders take turns serving as the chairman of Gucci Company. It’s your turn starting today,”

“Oh, I understand.” Ye Chen nodded.

The major stakeholders of Gucci were all foreigners; Ye Chen was the only shareholder from Hua Country.

The next day, Ye Chen drove directly to Li Rongrong’s doorstep.

After Li Rongrong got in the car, Ye Chen asked, “How’s the quality of this auction?”

“Of course, it’s one of the top auctions in Hua Country, with many big shots attending,” Li Rongrong said.

“Hmm, that’s good. If there aren’t any high-quality items, I won’t be interested.”

“Tch, did you get to know a rich woman or sothing, having such confidence?”

“I am the wealthy one, no need to rely on others.”

“Tch, but this is our Treasure Pavilion’s largest auction yet. If possible, please help boost its popularity.”

Ye Chen laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the auction is a hit.”

“You don’t need to spend too much; there are items worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions. You can just spend a few tens of thousands.”

Ye Chen sneered tens of thousands? If I’m buying, I’m buying items worth millions.

After all, buying more gives more returns; only a fool wouldn’t buy.

Li Rongrong didn’t know Ye Chen was already a billionaire, nor that he had a cashback card.

He could afford not just tens of millions, but even billions.

After getting out, Li Rongrong gave Ye Chen a Five-Star Review.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, receiving the 4th review star, and being rewarded with 40% shares of Shield Group.]

Shield Group is one of the top antivirus software companies in the country.

It’s said almost every computer in Hua Country has Shield antivirus software installed.

Soon, the car arrived at the National Exhibition Center.

The exhibition center was already packed with luxury cars.

This was the largest auction held in Hua Country this year.

It even attracted many treasure enthusiasts from abroad.

The two had just reached the entrance when they saw a middle-aged man, who was the CEO of Dahua Group, Ren Fei.

Ren Fei was one of the top mobile phone manufacturers in Hua Country, and Dahua phones were extrely popular in the country.

Furthermore, Ren Fei was a patriotic businessman with a very good reputation in Hua Country.

Unexpectedly, even this big shot ca, indicating the high caliber of this auction.

You know, Elder Ren was an influential figure in Hua Country’s business circles.

“Uncle Ren, you’re here.” Li Rongrong, well-acquainted with Ren Fei, proactively greeted him.

“Rongrong, you’ve said there are many good items in this auction. Don’t let down, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Ren, I won’t let you down. By the way, let introduce my friend, Ye Chen.”

Elder Ren, always focused on technology, wasn’t familiar with the aristocratic circles, so he didn’t know Ye Chen.

He kindly smiled, “Young man, you’re very handso, outstanding indeed.”

Even as a big shot, Elder Ren was very approachable.

Ye Chen smiled, “Elder Ren, I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s an honor to et you.”

Elder Ren smiled and proactively extended his hand.

The two shook hands, and Elder Ren saw the sparkling Patek Philippe on Ye Chen’s wrist.

This watch was a limited edition Patek Philippe valued at over seven million, and Elder Ren instantly realized that this seemingly ordinary young man likely had an extraordinary background.

After exchanging a few more words, they entered the auction hall.

At this mont, many had already arrived in the auction hall.

This auction had only one hundred available spots.

Thus, those who attended were big shots who loved antiques.

Li Rongrong seated Ye Chen towards the front and went about her errands.

Just as he settled down, a middle-aged man beside him smiled and extended his hand, “My na is Luo Guofu. Where’s this young brother making his fortune?”

Seeing Ye Chen’s youthful look and outstanding deanor, Luo Guofu thought he might be a scion from a big family, so he wanted to make his acquaintance.

Ye Chen responded with a polite smile, extending his hand, “Hello, my na is Ye Chen, I drive for DiDi.”

Drive for DiDi?

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the man’s expression stiffened, and he abruptly released the handshake.

Then, he awkwardly smiled and stopped paying attention to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen thought to himself, this person is really realistic!
