A night without dreams.
The next day, on the way to send Chen Yinuo to work.
Inside the big G.
"Ye Chen, why don't you buy me a Honda Fit? I'll drive it myself to take Youyou to school and then go to work. It's on the way, so you won't have to go through all this trouble!" Chen Yinuo said.
"What's the matter? Don't you want me to drive you anymore?"
Although nothing happened between them last night, and the long-lost fire of passion hadn't ignited, they had still managed to restore their relationship to a good level. So Ye Chen felt comfortable enough to joke.
"Let's be clear, I just want you to sleep a little longer. And you'll definitely be busy soon, so can I keep wasting your time?" Chen Yinuo shook her head.
"But you're not busy yet!" Ye Chen laughed.
"Stop joking. I'll have to get my driving skills up eventually. I can't have you driving me everywhere, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief. It made sense.
"Okay, you can keep this big G. I'll buy another car for myself!"
"You again. Is it really necessary to waste that much money? Besides, my driving skills are so bad, I'd panic even in a car worth 100,000 or 200,000. Let alone a Mercedes worth over a million. I'm just an employee of Huaxing Trading. How would it look if I drove such an expensive car to work?" Chen Yinuo rolled her eyes.
"Yinuo, seriously, have you ever thought about quitting your job? Though I'm on good terms with Li Changfeng, I'm still relying on him..."
"I'll consider it once your Wuxia ointment business is up and running, and when I can help with it!" Chen Yinuo thought for a moment.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded seriously.
He understood Chen Yinuo well-she was someone who couldn't stay idle.
If he really made her stay home as a full-time wife, it would indeed be very difficult for her.
"About the car, should I buy something better? The Honda Fit..."
Before Ye Chen could finish his sentence, Chen Yinuo quickly interrupted, "Let's just buy the Honda Fit for now. It's small and easy to drive. I'll use it to practice first. If we buy something better, I won't dare to drive it!"
Unable to argue with her, Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
After sending Chen Yinuo to the company, Ye Chen immediately drove to a Honda 4S dealership and paid in full for a top-spec Honda Fit.
However, when he drove the car back to the underground parking lot at Shanshui Jian, he couldn't help but feel odd.
Looking around the parking lot, he noticed that all the cars were worth over 700,000. The small Honda Fit stood out like a sore thumb.
That night, he went shopping with his wife and daughter, buying all the household items needed for their new home.
However, the passionate moment with his wife never materialized.
It wasn't that Chen Yinuo didn't want to. In fact, with their relationship healing and becoming more intimate, Ye Chen was in high demand. But, unfortunately, over the past few nights, Youyou had ruined their chances.
Every time Chen Yinuo tried to get out of bed, Youyou would wake up.
This made Ye Chen incredibly frustrated. Didn't people say that daughters were their fathers' little darlings?
Three days passed, and Chen Yinuo seemed to have gotten used to life at Shanshui Jian.
She had become more skilled at handling the new Honda Fit, and by the fourth day, she no longer needed Ye Chen to sit in the passenger seat.
Meanwhile, Pang Jun, who had been given 30 million to work with, hadn't contacted Ye Chen at all-not even a phone call or a text message. There had been no progress reports either.
If it had been someone else, they would have been worried, probably thinking that Pang Jun had run off with the money.
But Ye Chen wasn't concerned at all. He didn't even bother to ask.
Although he hadn't checked in with Pang Jun, he hadn't been idle during these few days.
Using the name from his previous life, he had registered the trademarks for Tenglong Co. Ltd. and Yiren Ruxue, preparing for the future.
With Zhang Jingshan's help, all the necessary paperwork was processed smoothly in just a few days.
Now, Ye Chen just needed Pang Jun to contact him.
On this day, the weather was fine.
At the Five-Star Four Seasons Hotel in the city center, a huge poster for the Wujie Auction Tour and Jiangzhou's eighth event was displayed at the entrance.
Ye Chen stepped out of the big G, glancing at the poster with a slight smile on his face.
He had been waiting for this-waiting for this auction. Waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Due to not having an entry ticket, even though he had arrived in a big G, Ye Chen still had to pay a 10,000 yuan entry fee to the organizers.
"Hey, Brother Ye, you're here too?"
On the 39th floor of the hotel, as soon as Ye Chen stepped out of the elevator, a surprised voice called out.
Ye Chen instinctively turned his head. Who else could it be but Zhang Jingshan?
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at Zhang Jingshan running toward him happily, Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"Me? A friend dragged me here. But as soon as I arrived, he had an urgent matter and left, leaving me alone. I thought I'd just hang around and watch the excitement. But after waiting for a while and getting bored, I was about to leave. Then I ran into you!" Zhang Jingshan explained with a smile.
"Oh!" Ye Chen smiled faintly.
"Brother Ye, what's going on with you? Did you come in with an entry ticket?" Zhang Jingshan hurriedly asked.
"No, I saw that there was an auction here, and I got curious, so I paid 10,000 yuan to get in!" Ye Chen laughed.
"Paid? If I'd known you were interested in auctions, I would've gotten you some tickets. The threshold isn't high for this kind of auction. Since the auction's level isn't very high, there won't be any good items, so the high-end players won't bother coming. But to think these idiots are charging 10,000 yuan for an entry fee, they're really greedy!" Zhang Jingshan said angrily.
Ye Chen just smiled without commenting.
Zhang Jingshan was right. The level of this auction was indeed low, and it wasn't likely to attract many high-end players.
But that didn't mean there wouldn't be any good items.
In his past life, the organizers of this Wujie Auction Tour were originally planning a nationwide tour with little fanfare. No one from high society paid attention to it. But after the tour ended, Wujie Group and the auction unexpectedly made it onto trending topics.
It was because Wujie Group, known as an authority in appraisal, had made a big mistake. They had misjudged three items at previous auctions, and they were finally sold off at the last auction for a fraction of their worth-less than 3 million.
However, it was revealed that these three items were actually worth close to 100 million, and that was just their estimated value. In terms of collecting value, they were worth far more than 100 million!
Once this news spread online, netizens joked that Wujie Group had made a fortune by advertising with one billion, as nobody knew about the group before, but now the whole internet was talking about them.
But whether they made money or not, only Wujie Group knew. After the appraising scandal, their authority was severely shaken, especially since they had misjudged objects worth tens of millions or even a billion.
In Ye Chen's previous life, when he saw the scandal online, he couldn't help but sigh, "When you're unlucky, even drinking water can make you choke."
Now that fate had given him a second chance, how could he possibly miss out on this opportunity?
But even though he was looking for a bargain, Ye Chen wasn't unwilling to give Wujie Group a chance to save face.
