You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

The doorbell rang somewhat urgently in the slightly messy rented room.

Having just finished a vigorous morning workout, Shen Wang frowned and sat up in bed.

Qin Ran, who was beside him, also opened her eyes groggily and snuggled closer to him.

"Who is it?" Shen Wang called out, sounding a little annoyed at being disturbed.

"Big brother, it's me! Your younger brother, Xin Quan!"

Xin Quan's familiar voice, filled with obsequiousness and excitement, came from outside the door.

Shen Wang suddenly realized, "That's right, we arranged to meet at this time yesterday to pick him up and take him to Hong Kong."

He patted Qin Ran's smooth back: "Get up, the people who are here to pick us up have arrived."

"Um…"

Qin Ran responded lazily, her voice hoarse and charmingly innocent afterward.

Shen Wang first put on his pants, then walked to the door with his upper body bare and opened it.

Outside the door, Xin Quan's old face was beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum, his eyes narrowed into slits.

No wonder he was so excited. If this deal goes through tonight, Xin Quan will really turn his life around and achieve a leap in social class!

Five percent commission!

The five percentage points that Shen Wang promised back then, when applied to the estimated transaction amount of this auction, would be an astronomical figure that he never dared to imagine before!

To seize this opportunity, Xin Quan worked tirelessly, running around without eating or drinking, spending his own money to build relationships, and using his most valuable connections to finally secure this private auction with Sotheby's, which was time-sensitive and demanding.

Success or failure hinges on tonight!

"Big brother! You..."

When Xin Quan saw Shen Wang open the door, her smile widened. She was about to greet him when her gaze fell on Shen Wang.

As the latter opened the door, he casually buttoned his shirt, revealing a well-built chest and the faint outline of his abdominal muscles, which made Xin Quan pause for a moment.

"Oh dear! Brother, I'm so sorry! I disturbed your rest!"

Xin Quan reacted very quickly, immediately bowing and scraping as he apologized, adopting an extremely humble posture.

Although he had arranged this time with Shen Wang yesterday, he didn't mention it at all and instead took all the responsibility upon himself.

He genuinely admired him: a true master indeed!

Tonight is a Sotheby's auction! The estimated total sales will start at least in the nine figures!

And that doesn't even include the final piece, the priceless imperial green jewelry!

This is wealth that many people could not earn in several lifetimes!

But what about this gentleman? He was calmly sleeping in.

That mental fortitude, that perspective—you have to admire that!

"It's nothing, I just forgot the time."

Shen Wang fastened the last button, casually waved his hand, and stepped aside.

"Come in, have a seat, we'll be ready soon."

"Okay, okay!"

Xin Quan quickly responded and cautiously entered the house.

With his sharp eyes, he noticed the clearly defined eight-pack abs faintly visible beneath Shen Wang's shirt, and was even more impressed. He immediately began to flatter him:

"Brother, your physique is... amazing!"

"Seriously! I've seen plenty of wealthy bosses, but someone like you who is both capable and maintains such a great physique is extremely rare!"

"Those eight-pack abs of yours are impossible to achieve without extreme self-discipline and perseverance! I'm truly impressed! I'm absolutely in awe!"

His words weren't entirely flattery.

Shen Wang's 15-point physique brings not only endurance and recovery ability, but also metabolism and muscle definition that are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

Even without deliberate bodybuilding training, the body naturally presents a lean, well-proportioned, and powerfully perfect state.

Shen Wang smiled and gestured for Xin Quan to sit down.

Xin Quan had just sat down on the slightly worn sofa in the living room when the bedroom door opened again.

Qin Ran came out.

She had quickly washed up, her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her face still had a lazy flush. She was wearing Shen Wang's oversized white T-shirt and her own denim shorts, revealing a pair of straight, fair legs.

Despite her simple attire, her charming allure, along with her outstanding looks and气质 (qi zhi - a combination of temperament, bearing, and presence), instantly made her the focus of the living room.

Top-notch!

Xin Quan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he secretly praised her.

These two sisters seemed to be even better than the two he had seen here last time!

Especially that unique charm that blends innocence and allure, along with a subtle hint of a powerful career woman.

To be honest, Xin Quan has seen many beautiful women, especially as a top streamer with millions of followers, he has met countless beautiful female streamers.

But being good-looking is one thing, having charisma is another!

Some women are beautiful at first glance, but the more you look at them, the more beautiful they become! The more you look at them, the more charming they become!

Qin Ran is that kind of woman.

Just kidding, a deputy section chief with real power in the provincial party committee who is not even 30 years old is a ceiling that many people can never reach in their entire lives!

How could those borderline girls compare?

After watching for 2.79 seconds, less than 3 seconds, Xin Quan dared not watch anymore.

He forced himself to look away, focusing his gaze on his nose and his mind.

The boss's woman, do not look at her!

Looking at it for even a second longer is a sin!

Shen Wang naturally put his arm around Qin Ran, who was walking over, and introduced her to Xin Quan: "This is Xin Quan. He's the one who handled this auction."

Qin Ran smiled gracefully and nodded to Xin Quan: "I know, she's a famous livestreamer with millions of followers in the antique circle."

She wasn't joking; Xin Quan is indeed quite famous online.

Xin Quan quickly and modestly waved his hand, "I don't deserve it, I'm just trying to make a living, and it's all thanks to your help, big brother!"

Shen Wang then looked at Qin Ran and introduced her to Xin Quan: "This is Qin Ran, I..."

He paused for a moment at this point.

Girlfriend? It seems like they haven't officially confirmed their relationship yet.

Although everything that was going to happen had already happened, he wasn't the kind of scumbag who would turn his back on someone after he was done with them. Shen Wang was mainly considering Qin Ran's feelings, afraid that making a hasty judgment would put pressure on her or make her uncomfortable.

In the end, Shen Wang used a more neutral term: "My friend."

When Qin Ran, who was standing next to her, heard the word "friend," her eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly for a moment, and a trace of disappointment quickly passed through them.

But she quickly masked it, her smile remaining unchanged.

Qin Ran knew in her heart that with the limited strength and mysterious background that Shen Wang had just shown, becoming his "official" girlfriend was probably just wishful thinking.

This junior was no longer the ordinary junior she remembered who needed her care.

Being able to stand by his side and participate in his life as a "friend" is enough to make many people envious.

Xin Quan, being an extremely shrewd person, immediately observed Qin Ran's expression and became even more respectful and enthusiastic towards her.

"Hello, Ms. Qin! It's such an honor to meet you!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Shen Wang and Qin Ran quickly got dressed.

Shen Wang was dressed in a simple, casual outfit—dark jeans, a well-fitting solid-color T-shirt, and a light jacket over it.

Qin Ran, on the other hand, had carefully put together a simple yet stylish dress, paired with a light jacket, which was both flattering and elegant.

After going downstairs, we got into Xin Quan's spacious and comfortable Toyota Alphard minivan, which he had specially driven there, and headed straight for Hong Kong...
