Cao Kun nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Under the supervisor's guidance, the elevator ascended rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they traversed dozens of floors and arrived directly at the top-floor banquet hall.

With a soft "ding" from the elevator doors, an atmosphere of extreme luxury instantly enveloped us.

As far as the eye can see, the entire banquet hall has been meticulously arranged to resemble a high-end art gallery.

The dazzling crystal chandelier cast a soft glow, illuminating the various treasures displayed around it.

Some valuable auction items were arranged in a staggered manner throughout the hall for guests to view up close.

Each exhibit is accompanied by an electronic bidding board.

If guests see something they like, they can not only admire it at will, but also place their bids directly, with the highest bidder winning.

Since it was still afternoon, there weren't many customers in the lobby.

Only a few uniformed waiters were busy moving around, making the place seem exceptionally quiet and elegant.

Huang Yumeng grew up in an orphanage and had never seen such a luxurious and shocking scene.

She stared, her eyes wide with amazement.

Instinctively, I pulled an old iPhone 6 out of my pocket and started taking pictures of the surroundings.

Actually, she had a very simple mind; she just wanted to capture this luxurious scene on camera.

Take it back to the younger children in the orphanage to broaden their horizons and let them see how wonderful the outside world is.

Upon seeing this, the security supervisor instinctively stepped forward to stop him.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue when he swallowed them back, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

Cao Kun noticed his unusual behavior and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The security supervisor, with a forced smile, cautiously explained:

"Mr. Cao, actually, according to the rules of our auction..."

To protect the privacy of all guests, no one is allowed to take photos in the banquet hall.

However... since you, the highest-ranking VIP, brought this guest,

These minor rules are perfectly fine; please feel free to do as you please.

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun nodded indifferently.

He turned to Huang Yumeng and said, "Did you hear that? Go ahead and take as many pictures as you want."

Security Supervisor: "..."

Actually, what he said just now was just a polite gesture, implying that the other party should restrain themselves.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cao was quite unceremonious and readily took advantage of the situation.

Cao Kun wandered around the lobby for a while, then suddenly felt a strong urge to urinate and casually asked, "Where's the restroom?"

The security supervisor immediately pointed to a corridor to the side and said solicitously, "It's this way. I'll show you the way."

Judging from his obsequious and fawning manner, if he could, he would gladly go to the toilet for Cao Kun.

Cao Kun turned to Huang Yumeng behind him and said, "Xiaomeng, wait here for me for a while."

Huang Yumeng nodded obediently: "Okay."

After watching Cao Kun leave, Huang Yumeng stared wide-eyed, continuing to curiously examine the various exhibits around her.

The waiters on the top floor are all professionally trained and have very sharp eyes.

They only glanced at her and saw that although Huang Yumeng was dressed neatly and cleanly, her clothes were all cheap street vendor items that they couldn't name.

Moreover, his expression revealed a naivety that came from someone who had never seen the world.

Everyone immediately understood and concluded that she was nothing more than a female companion or plaything brought along by some important figure.

Therefore, no one paid much attention to her, and everyone was busy with their own work, so no one even came up to pour her a glass of water.

Huang Yumeng didn't seem to care about this.

She was an orphan who had endured countless cold shoulders since childhood, which forged her heart into something incredibly strong.

She quietly retreated to the sofa in a corner of the elevator lobby, patiently waiting for Cao Kun to return.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Huang...Huang Yumeng? What are you doing here?"

A somewhat surprised female voice came from behind.

Huang Yumeng turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind her.

The woman was young and alluring, wearing a deep V-neck sequined dress with very little fabric.

Dressed up in a flamboyant manner, she seemed eager to show off most of her breasts.

At this moment, she was intimately arm in arm with a middle-aged man beside her.

The man had a large belly and looked like a leader.

The two were almost touching, their behavior clearly exceeding normal social distance.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it's the kind of ambiguous romantic relationship.

"You are... Li Xiaotong?"

Huang Yumeng squinted and thought for a moment before finally recognizing the heavily made-up woman in front of her.

Li Xiaotong was taken aback, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

At the Shanghai Medical University, she always maintained a rich young lady persona and was revered as the goddess of the medical school by countless male students.

Almost no one knew that her seemingly glamorous and respectable life was all thanks to the financial support of her "godfather".

Today, she finally managed to get out and see the world with her godfather, attending this supposedly extremely high-end charity auction.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a classmate here.

And it just so happens to be Huang Yumeng.

The two had a long-standing grudge at school.

Li Xiaotong was jealous of Huang Yumeng because she was beautiful and had good grades.

Taking advantage of his wealth, he repeatedly attempted to bully her in collusion with others.

As a result, Huang Yumeng always managed to deflect the attack with ease.

Now that her nemesis had caught her in the act of being an older man's lover, Li Xiaotong felt her face burning with embarrassment.

Huang Yumeng sized up Li Xiaotong, then looked at the middle-aged man, and immediately realized what was going on, and couldn't help but chuckle.

That laugh was like a thorn, instantly piercing Li Xiaotong's sense of shame.

She retorted angrily:

"What are you laughing at! You poor wretch!"

"Don't you even know where you are? Do you think you're qualified to come in?"

Huang Yumeng scoffed, too lazy to pay her any attention.

She simply took out her phone and snapped a photo of the two of them.

This is a weakness that's been handed to me; I might as well take it. Let's see if this woman dares to cause trouble at school again.

"Oh dear, look! She's secretly taking pictures of us!"

Li Xiaotong stomped her feet in anger and immediately turned to the middle-aged man beside her, complaining in a coquettish manner.

The middle-aged man who had been watching the commotion was also taken aback, and his face instantly darkened.

He initially thought Huang Yumeng was pure and lovely, even prettier than Li Xiaotong beside her.

He was even thinking that since they were classmates, there might be a chance to flirt with each other in the future.

Who knew this little brat would dare to take pictures?

If this gets out and his family or his boss finds out, his future will be completely ruined.

Thinking about this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Without waiting for a reply, he stepped forward and shouted, "Young lady, hand over your phone right now and delete the photos!"

Huang Yumeng was unwilling to give it up; she had finally managed to find something to hold against her, so how could she possibly hand it over?

Seeing that verbal attempts were ineffective, the middle-aged man prepared to resort to force, reaching out to snatch the phone from Huang Yumeng's hand.
