lighter?

That must be impossible!
Lin Shen's favorite thing to do is to hold Zheng Yanfei in his arms.

After all, in this respect, Xiao Lvcha is probably the best among all the women around Lin Shen.

Qin Yuennan is rather aloof, but she's much better now than she was at the beginning.

As for Jiang Wan, Lin Shen was a little overwhelmed by the gentle older sister's initiative.

The young woman Ping and the mature woman Yun were similar in their performances, both exuding a seductive charm and eager to display their sexiness and allure to Lin Shen.

However, the former is usually quite gentle and virtuous, which is a stark contrast.

The latter is a sexy and mature woman in her daily life.

Of course, compared to them, the "green tea" girl can provide Lin Shen with more emotional value.

So he pulled Zheng Yanfei into a tight embrace, like a wolf seducing a flock of sheep, and grinned wickedly.

"rest assured."

"You always say that! You always lie to me!"

Zheng Yanfei clung to Lin Shen's arm, looking aggrieved on the surface, but secretly delighted inside.

She loved using this vulnerable appearance to seduce Lin Shen!

Whenever Zheng Yanfei fantasized about that feeling, her legs would go weak, and she could only rely on holding onto Lin Shen's arm for support.

The more she hugged him, the more his unique masculine scent stimulated Zheng Yanfei's nerves.

This actually represents a kind of physiological liking.

Once you reach that point, even if a guy has a strange smell, you'll feel a sense of fascination and greed for it.

At least Zheng Yanfei is gradually showing this tendency now.

The longing she felt for Lin Shen after not seeing him for so long caused her beautiful eyes to slowly become misty with tears. She even felt an urge to go home with him and spend quality time together.

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until the auction ends.

Zheng Yanfei, arm in arm with Lin Shen, re-entered the venue. By this time, the auction was already halfway through.

"This necklace is a collaboration between Ferrari and Bulgari, inspired by the body lines of the Ferrari SF90. It is set with red spinel and diamonds, and the pendant can be disassembled into a prancing horse brooch. It also comes with a certificate of collaboration between the two brands and is custom-made by Bulgari's high jewelry workshop. The estimated starting bid is 30 RMB!"

After the host introduced the items on the big screen, he immediately announced the start of the auction.

The guests in the audience raised their bidding paddles, and the atmosphere, though restrained, became incredibly lively.

The starting bid of 300,000 yuan eventually reached 600,000 yuan.

"Brother Lin Shen, aren't you going to take a picture of this necklace?"

After taking her seat, Zheng Yanfei quietly asked Lin Shen a question.

"It feels like it matches your Ferrari SF90 really well. Maybe if you gave it to Sister Qin Yuennan, she would be very happy."

"She doesn't like jewelry."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

“There are better things at this auction.”

Oh?
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanfei suddenly felt uneasy.

Could it be that Brother Lin Shen is interested in the last limited edition Ferrari sports car?

That's a custom-made 2025 model worth 20 million!

Is Brother Lin Shen really that rich?
While starting a business, he still managed to come up with so much money to buy a car.

Although Zheng Yanfei doesn't know much about starting a business, she knows a lot about money!

She usually sets aside about 50% of her living expenses to buy some consumer goods.

Based on this ratio, Lin Shen's brother must have at least several hundred million in his bank account, right?

Zheng Yanfei stole a glance at Lin Shen's handsome profile beside her, and her curiosity was piqued again. So she mustered up her courage and cautiously asked him.

"Brother Lin Shen, you're not planning to spend over 20 million to buy a car tonight, are you?"

"Bingo! You got it right!"

Lin Shen chuckled and snapped his fingers. Just as he was about to say something, the host on the main stage suddenly announced in a loud voice.

"Now, we are about to present to our guests the penultimate and final item of this auction!"

Buzz—!
Before the host could finish speaking, the lights in the venue suddenly went out.

Immediately following was the ear-piercing roar of engines coming from backstage.

Immediately, countless spotlights converged on the side of the stage, and a pure red Ferrari slowly drove onto the main stage.

The streamlined red body is in line with the Ferrari family's sports car design.

However, the Ferrari's body is quite retro, following the style of classic Ferrari sports cars from the 60s.

The low-slung hood and wheel arches are highly sculpted, the body lines are smooth and natural, and the aerodynamic design is outstanding, including flaps on the front and rear diffusers, air deflectors at the bottom of the front body, and an active rear wing.

Even after more than fifty years, its aesthetics remain among the world's best.

Of course, the value of the LaFerrari lies not only in its appearance, but also in its collectability.

As Ferrari's flagship supercar, the LaFerrari was produced in a limited run of 499 units.

Furthermore, the eligibility requirements for purchasing are extremely stringent; one must own five different Ferrari or Enzo models to be eligible to apply.

If it weren't for this auction, this car would probably only be available to someone of even greater status.

Money alone cannot buy a sports car of this caliber.

Therefore, when Lafayette appeared, many guests in the audience were immediately impressed and eager to try it out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on the legend of the LaFerrari; its name alone represents the pinnacle of Ferrari's car-making history!"

"And this customized new model is the culmination of the hard work of many Ferrari automotive engineers!"

When the Ferrari LaFerrari drove to the center of the stage, the host gave a brief and enthusiastic introduction to its legendary history and announced the starting bid.

"The starting price is the original market price, which is 22.5 million, and each bid must be at least 500,000!"

"2300 million!"

VIP number 18 eagerly raised his starting paddle, and under his lead, more and more people joined the competition for the Ferrari LaFerrari.

After all, as one of the three legendary cars, the value of the LaFerrari needs no further explanation.

It can be said to be the dream car that every car enthusiast dreams of, the pinnacle of Ferrari's automotive masterpiece!
Unfortunately, the limited number of units issued led to its price being inflated to over 30 million in the used car market.

In addition, there are arguably stringent eligibility requirements for purchasing.

For those who buy it, its collectible value far exceeds its value as a roaring machine on the field.

Therefore, the main purpose of the guests attending the Ferrari owners' dinner was to acquire this LaFerrari!

"thirty million!"

Thirty-two million!

"Thirty-five million!"

……

Soon, the price of the LaFerrari was driven up to 38 million, approaching the 40 million mark. This price exceeded the expectations of many people.

Although everyone wants to buy this legendary Ferrari, its price of over 30 million is enough to deter 90% of people.

After all, this price is enough to bankrupt a small company, and it represents the wealth that many people have accumulated over several years.

The remaining 10% were struggling with their final decision, considering whether they really had to spend such a high price to get the LaFerrari.

After all, its price is more geared towards collectors, and if you're not willing to sell it on the track, it doesn't seem so good.

Therefore, the price of the Ferrari LaFerrari was ultimately capped at 39 million, and no one responded even after the host called out several times.

Just as she was about to complete the final auction with a bid of 39 million, Lin Shen suddenly raised his number 7 paddle and whispered.

"Forty million."

"Great! VIP number 7 has raised his paddle for 40 million!"

The female host enthusiastically extended her hand towards Lin Shen, instantly making him the focus of everyone's attention.

Forty million?
Buy a LaFerrari?
Although its collectible value is more than 40 million, this price is just too expensive!

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Lin Shen, who was sitting near the main stage, their eyes flashing with intense amazement.

To be able to bid 40 million for a sports car at such a young age, just how wealthy must his family be!
It should be at least A10, right?
It could even be more than that!
"Forty million is our first time. Distinguished guests, is there anyone else who would like to raise the price?"

"This is the second time, and now there's one last chance to raise the price."

"It seems our Ferrari LaFerrari has finally found its soulmate, for the third time!"

Snapped!
When the auctioneer struck the gavel on the castanets, the Ferrari LaFerrari was finally sold.

Lin Shen won the bid for 40 million.

He let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling his body particularly relaxed.

He thought someone would compete with him, but who knew that after the price was raised to 40 million, everyone hesitated.

That makes sense, though; at that price, you could buy a large apartment of over 200 square meters in Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard.

In the end, all we got was a car, which was a huge loss.

However, Lin Shen liked it very much, at least it allowed him to complete the mission of the Dream Car Card once again!
"Congratulations to VIP number 7 for winning our Ferrari LaFerrari. Our staff will contact you after the auction."

"Brother Lin Shen!"

After Lin Shen won the bid for the Ferrari LaFerrari worth 40 million, Zheng Yanfei excitedly grabbed his arm and exclaimed.

"Congratulations on getting your dream car! You're amazing!"

"It's just spending money, nothing special."

Lin Shen waved his hand casually, but Zheng Yanfei's eyes lit up.

"But all this money is yours, isn't that amazing?"

Zheng Yanfei said with a grin.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the children in the mountainous areas be able to receive 40 million yuan to improve their lives?"

"should be."

Lin Shen trusted Ferrari's reputation, and since he said it was a charity auction, the final proceeds should go towards improving the lives of children in mountainous areas.

This is one of the reasons why Lin Shen was willing to spend 40 million to buy a car.

Of course, the auction is far from over.

When the Ferrari LaFerrari was only the second-to-last item in the auction, Lin Shen couldn't help but wonder what the final, highlight item would be.

The answer was quickly revealed.

The receptionist brought out a thick stack of letters, at least a dozen in total.

Seeing this, the host held the microphone to his mouth and smiled.

"The final auction item may have disappointed some people, but the origin of these letters is very meaningful."

"These are letters written to you by children in mountainous areas whom Ferrari will soon sponsor, containing their sincerest blessings for you."

"They may be complete strangers to you, but after learning that you are willing to use the auction to support their lives, they decided to write to thank you."

"I believe that the value of words is not limited to whether they are beautiful or written by famous people; the meaning they contain is far greater than their monetary value!"

"Therefore, the last item to be auctioned will be given free of charge to the VIPs who have auctioned their items at this auction. We hope that this letter, filled with the sincere feelings of a child, will bring you smooth sailing in your life and work."

"May everyone's future be like the Ferrari logo, galloping a thousand miles!"

Bang bang bang——!
As the host bowed to take his bow, all the guests in the audience applauded and gave him a send-off.

It must be said that the auction at the Ferrari owners' club dinner was truly unique.

"Hello, sir."

After the host left the stage, the hostess approached Lin Shen, bowed slightly, and invited him to go backstage.

Lin Shen stood up and pinched Zheng Yanfei's cheek, signaling her to stay in her original spot and wait for him to return.

Afterwards, Lin Shen followed the hostess to the backstage area.

He was greeted by his old friend, Matteo.

"Oh! My old friend! I never expected you to buy the Ferrari LaFerrari."

Matteo came up and gave Lin Shen a big hug and congratulated him.

"I am very happy to sell you the fruits of our Ferrari engineers' labor. They would be very happy if they knew."

Thank you for your recognition.

Lin Shen smiled and released Matteo.

What procedures do I need to complete? How do I pay?

"Not in a hurry."

Matteo also knew that forty million was not an easy sum for anyone to come up with.

So he planned to have Lin Shen pay in installments, only requiring him to verify his funds at the opening to show that he had the ability to pay.

However, Lin Shen didn't want to reveal his bank card balance, since it was only ten million.

If they find out, they'll definitely be exposed.

Lin Shen only decided to buy a car because of the Dream Car Card.

So he smiled and asked Matteo.

"Can I pay the full amount now?"

what?
Pay the full amount upfront?

This stumped Matteo, who then tentatively asked.

"Mr. Lin, is it a full payment of forty million?"

"if not?"

Lin Shen's confident smile deeply impressed Matteo.

Was he really that rich? (End of Chapter)
