Chapter 9 Auction

```

"Right." Just as she was about to reach the door, Li Fei suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Ling Tianyu, "I forgot to tell you, you came out just in time. Our class monitor said at graduation that we would have a small reunion every two years, and a big one every four years."

"Tonight at seven, everyone's going to have dinner at Wang Yan's Tianhu Five-Star Hotel. I believe everyone is really looking forward to seeing you, so why not come over?"

After she finished, Li Fei left the office without looking back.

Ling Tianyu had no chance to speak before Li Fei had gone. Those classmates from back in the day, now it seemed, what bullshit classmates, they weren't so snobbish back then.

It appeared that status, identity, money... one cannot do without them.

"I'm really sorry, you saw what happened just now," Song Yanwu said apologetically. If she had been a department head, she certainly would have followed the regulations, but unfortunately, she was just a low-level employee.

"It's okay," Ling Tianyu waved off, turned, and left the office. It looked like he'd have to find another way.

After all, he had made a promise to the old man. Otherwise, wouldn't he be breaking his word?

Ling Tianyu left Mo Yu Perfume Company and decided to look for a place to stay. He couldn't be staying in hotels outside every day, could he?

"Buzz!"

Just as he arrived at the six-way bus stop, preparing to look for housing in the suburbs of Northern Sea City, two Ferraris pulled up at the stop.

"Brother Yu, didn't we tell you to give us a call? Seriously." The Ferrari doors opened, and Dongfang Yan and Nan Feng stepped out. They were on their way to an auction and had not expected to see their Brother Yu at the bus stop.

"I forgot," Ling Tianyu smiled.

"No more talking, Brother Yu, get in the car first. We'll take you for a stroll at the auction, and in the evening, we'll take you to the hotel for a drink to welcome you back," Dongfang Yan invited him into the car, making the people still waiting at the stop envious.

Ferraris, ah. If only one could also have Ling Tianyu's status, what a dazzling existence that would be wherever one went.

Probably won't achieve that in this lifetime, being able to afford even a tire would be something.

"Brother Yu, we've prepared everything. We actually wanted to tell you this back at the bar," Dongfang Yan said with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling, "A villa, cars, we've bought it all, just waiting for you to come out. After the auction, we'll take you there."

"You guys really are rich," Ling Tianyu said with a helpless smile. He hadn't thought about owning those things; he needed to figure out how to get into Mo Yu Perfume Company.

"Right, Xiao Yan, I need you to look into someone for me, preferably before tonight," Ling Tianyu hadn't forgotten about Brother Hao, who had hit and killed his brother and cheated his sister-in-law out of money, pushing his sister-in-law's family to such a state. He couldn't just let this go.

Debts must be repaid, and life for a life—it's only natural.

This has been the rule since ancient times.

"Brother Yu, just say the word."

"A guy in Northern Sea called Brother Hao," Ling Tianyu replied.

"Brother Hao?" Dongfang Yan frowned when he heard this. He really didn't know who that was, so he parked at the red light and dialed a phone number.

"Uncle Quan, I need you to look into someone in Northern Sea called Brother Hao, and get me the information in an hour," Dongfang Yan directly instructed someone from his family.

"Right away, Brother Yu," Dongfang Yan said, hanging up the phone and looking at Ling Tianyu.

"Mm," Ling Tianyu nodded, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

```

Soon, the car stopped in front of Bo Yuan Pavilion.

Luxury cars too numerous to count were parked in front of Bo Yuan Pavilion, with the least expensive being BMWs worth over a million. It seemed that those who could come here were people of status and identity.

"Brother Yu, let's go in," Dongfang Yan and Nan Feng said, standing beside Ling Tianyu.

Ling Tianyu didn't mind, thinking it wouldn't hurt to have a look now that he was here.

The three of them entered Bo Yuan Pavilion together. Inside was a dance party, with handsome men and beautiful women, as well as successful individuals. It was estimated that everyone here was worth at least a million, and even millionaires might not be able to get in.

"Young Master Yan, Young Master Feng have arrived, please take your seats," not long after Ling Tianyu and Dongfang Yan walked in, without even having picked up a wine glass, an eager man in his fifties with half-white hair came up to them.

"Manager Gao, when does it start?" Dongfang Yan picked up a wine glass and passed one to his Brother Yu.

"Right away," Gao Fei hurriedly replied, but he couldn't help looking at Ling Tianyu curiously. The man's dress was very odd—this was a high-class event, how did he get in?

However, seeing that Young Master Yan had personally handed him a drink, it was evident that he was highly respected, and his identity was probably not low.

"Please, take a seat," the manager didn't dare to ask as the status and identity of Dongfang Yan and his companions were not something he could afford to offend. Anyone Dongfang Yan respected must be of no ordinary status, especially since Young Master Feng personally moved aside to offer him a sofa, which made it even more serious.

"Brother Yu, let me introduce to you, this is Xu Longkun, the Chairman of Benteng Real Estate of Northern Sea," Dongfang Yan introduced.

"Hello," Xu Longkun proactively extended his hand to shake hands with Ling Tianyu, his curiosity just as intense as Gao Fei's. Who was this young man dressed so strangely?

"Hello," Ling Tianyu, out of politeness, also shook his hand.

"Brother Yu, this is my cousin, Yu Xuebing, President of the Northern Sea Number One Clothing Company," Nan Feng then introduced.

Ling Tianyu looked up and saw a woman in a long purple dress, with light yellow hair scattered on her snow-white tender shoulders.

Her captivating eyes were fixed on him.

"Hello," Ling Tianyu extended his hand first.

Yu Xuebing only symbolically shook his hand for a moment and then looked away, sitting aside without making another sound.

Ling Tianyu didn't mind, and afterwards, Dongfang Yan and Nan Feng introduced him to many others, including beautiful women, mature and charming young matrons, as well as accomplished and well-known chairmen and other influential figures.

"Brother Yu, have you seen that lady over there?" Dongfang Yan and Nan Feng suddenly pointed to a beautiful woman sitting alone in the most cornered area of the VIP section.

That beauty was wearing a pink knee-length dress, with large wavy black hair cascading over her flawless shoulders, her extremely beautiful cheeks expressionless, showing only coldness, as if keeping everyone at a distance.

"Brother Yu, that is Duan Yanran, known as the number one beauty in Northern Sea, and a talented lady to boot. Unfortunately, she's twenty-three this year and still single. The number of people chasing after her could form an enhanced battalion," Nan Feng whispered to him.

"Looking at the expressions on your faces, it seems you two are interested in her," Ling Tianyu remarked to his two brothers, who looked almost drooling.

"We are interested because she's a beauty, but she doesn't spare us a glance," Dongfang Yan and the others knew their limits; a beauty of such caliber was only to be admired from a distance and not to be frivolously pursued.

Ling Tianyu just glanced at her casually. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would eventually become nothing more than a handful of yellow soil when old.

"By the way, Brother Yu, this is the apology gift from Brother Lang to you. That damn Brother Lang got a good lesson from their boss, Cat. This is twenty million, all inside a bank card; this is the PIN. Make sure to keep it safe," Dongfang Yan hadn't forgotten about this matter, as it was personally delivered by Cat being on his knees.
