Qian Zhengxin was surprised when he received the call from Yue Qingqing.
He had not expected that this seemingly inscrutable girl would request his help for an auction.
"This won’t be difficult."
Qian Zhengxin knew that these charity auctions were usually more about appearances than substance.
The items were third-rate, and the attendees were not true collectors but various influential guests.
The main purpose was naturally to build a reputation.
As a well-known philanthropist who loved doing good deeds, it was all too easy for Qian Zhengxin to get an invitation.
Yue Qingqing left her BP number with Qian Zhengxin.
"Then I’ll trouble you."
The auction was in two days, and Yue Qingqing was very excited.
She specifically called Yan Sinian and Gong Qiming.
However, the reactions from the two mentors were particularly indifferent.
Yan Sinian: "I see. When are you coming back to Zhuancheng?"
Gong Qiming: "Pfft, who cares about that sly fox? I’ve known about him for a while but just couldn’t be bothered to tell you. That guy is now a ruthless capitalist. Stay away from him to avoid being sold out and even counting the money for him. Do you remember how he used to be ..."
Yue Qingqing had a headache and was forced to listen to her younger mentor rambling nonsense for half an hour.
She truly wished her two mentors could balance each other out.
One was reticent, the other a non-stop talker.
Indeed, no one is perfect. Thinking again, her second mentor was just like Gong Qiming said, very well suited to be a capitalist.
He always had a smile on his face, making his words particularly pleasant to hear.
But he was a smiling fox, always managing to trap people without them realizing it.
In the end, you would applaud him and sell yourself for a pittance to give him your money.
However, in her previous life, her second mentor had genuinely cared for her.
Whenever he heard of any treasure that could improve her constitution, he would find ways to purchase it at a high price or trade valuable items for it.
But at that time, every fortune-telling session left Yue Qingqing’s body a bit more broken down, and with her inherent weakness, not even the best herbs could save her life.
Thinking about it, Yue Qingqing felt dying struck by lightning was actually a good thing, as it spared her from gradually weakening and dying in agony.
Reflecting on some things about her second mentor, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but smile, feeling even more eager to find Zhou Yiran.
Qian Zhengxin was very efficient. The next morning, Yue Qingqing’s pager beeped.
Yue Qingqing went to a payphone in the supermarket, and Qian Zhengxin quickly picked up.
"I’ve managed to get a few invitations. Young lady, do you want to bring any friends with you?"
Qian Zhengxin didn’t know why Yue Qingqing wanted to go to the auction, and after thinking it over, he could only attribute it to curiosity. Did she just want to see what it was like inside?
So, Qian Zhengxin also got a few extra invitations, thinking it would be convenient for Yue Qingqing if she wanted to bring classmates along.
Hearing Yue Qingqing say this, Qian Zhengxin mused, "Alright, I’ll pick you up early that day."
Yue Qingqing responded and then asked, "Do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
She had heard that attendance at such places required more formal attire.
But Yue Qingqing clearly didn’t have those kinds of clothes.
Qian Zhengxin laughed, "No need, you are with me; who would dare to kick you out?"
Yue Qingqing thought so too; rules were set for those who need to follow them.
For someone like Qian Zhengxin, who stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, didn’t all rules have to make way for him?
Yue Qingqing got a taste of leaning on a strong backer and calmly awaited the auction’s arrival.
I wonder what reaction the second mentor will have when he sees me?
