Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!
Chapter 136 Fame!
Jiang Wenxi leaned back in her chair, her fingertips lightly tracing the patterns on her cheongsam.
She had already planned it out: by auctioning off the items and donating 1 billion, she could not only demonstrate her wealth but also break down the barriers between aristocratic families in the name of charity, achieving multiple benefits at once.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan's phone vibrated repeatedly. She quickly checked the messages and reported, "Miss, there are many mainstream media reporters at the auction. Your additional donation of 1 billion has been reported in real time."
The hashtag #JiangWenxiDonates1BillionYuanToCulturalRelicsProtection# has topped the Kyoto trending list, and many official media outlets have also reposted related reports, praising your patriotism.
It turns out that this charity auction for antique appraisal not only invited established families and collectors, but also invited mainstream media such as the Kyoto Daily and Cultural Weekly, as well as many independent media outlets, to attend. The initial intention was to promote the concept of cultural relic protection and expand the influence of charity.
Jiang Wenxi's act of donating an additional 1 billion yuan was undoubtedly the most shocking highlight of the entire auction. Reporters immediately captured the scene and recorded the speeches. The articles and videos from the scene were sent to the editorial department simultaneously, and within just half an hour, they swept through the public opinion field in Kyoto.
The report not only detailed Jiang Wenxi's acquisition of three core treasures and her additional substantial donation, but also mentioned her accurate expertise in appraising antiques.
The labels "new owner of Jingyuan" and "heiress of a multinational family" have also become hot topics among netizens. Many people have dug into her background, but only found that she owns Wenle Investment Co., Ltd. in Shanghai and the companies she has invested in.
The spread of public opinion far exceeded expectations. Within just one hour, the topic spread from Kyoto to the whole country, and it quickly dominated the trending search list in Shanghai.
Employees of Wenle Group's subsidiaries were the first to share the report, and netizens left comments praising, "President Jiang is both good-looking and has a broad vision. She donated hundreds of millions of yuan without hesitation, which is far better than those rich heiresses who only know how to create hype!"
"Casually displaying a snuff bottle worth 50 million to show off, that's some serious financial backing. Shanghai truly is a place where hidden talents abound."
"Not only do they know how to appraise treasures, but they also care about the protection of cultural relics. This is the true demeanor of a wealthy family."
The business community in Shanghai was shaken. Entrepreneurs who had heard of Jiang Wenxi's abilities but had never had a close relationship with her asked around to find out how to contact her, hoping to take this opportunity to get to know her.
"Miss, after your deeds spread throughout Shanghai's business community, many partners have contacted us to explore deeper collaborations; relevant government departments have also called to praise your charitable actions and are interested in inviting you to serve as Shanghai's Goodwill Ambassador for Cultural Relics Protection."
Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly, her tone calm: "Understood. I'll note down the invitation to be a goodwill ambassador and reply later."
She had anticipated a public reaction, but she hadn't expected it to spread so widely, which was a pleasant surprise.
As expected, roads built with money are just as effective.
Looking at the constantly refreshing news reports and netizens' comments on his phone, Jiang Yan added, "Many media outlets have also forwarded the related news, praising you for bringing honor to the Chinese community. In addition, Mr. Su Zhenbang sent a message saying that many prominent families in Kyoto, after seeing the reports, asked him to inquire if there was an opportunity to meet you, hoping to take the opportunity to discuss cooperation."
A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Wenxi's eyes. Su Zhenbang wanted to use the opportunity of introduction to further strengthen his relationship with her, while those powerful families were obviously moved by her strength and reputation and wanted to get a share of the pie.
"Reply to Elder Su that we can get together again in the future, there is no need to rush."
Jiang Wenxi spoke calmly.
"The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation, deal with the private banquet in Xishan first, and then gradually connect with all parties."
She knew that prestige was a double-edged sword; it could bring convenience but also attract more scrutiny. Only by remaining calm could she firmly maintain control.
The vehicle smoothly entered the alley. The vermilion gate of Jingyuan became even more solemn in the twilight. Jiang Wenxi's name had already resounded in every corner of Beijing and Shanghai with the news reports, becoming a legendary figure in the eyes of the public, a family with both strength and vision.
Jiang Wenxi gazed at the ancient alleyway passing by outside the window, a faint smile playing on her lips.
At this auction, she not only acquired rare items, but also used charity as a medium to firmly establish herself in Kyoto's elite circles.
Her Kyoto chapter has only just begun.
After the auction ended, Jiang Wenxi did not linger and left with Jiang Yan amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.
Once inside the car, Jiang Yan had carefully arranged the three precious items she had purchased. Smiling, she reported, "Miss, all three items have been inventoried. The Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon vase and the Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white plum vase are undamaged, and the mounting of the Tang Yin calligraphy and painting is also intact. A professional team will be arranged to transport them back to Jingyuan for safekeeping. In addition, we received news from the Cultural Promotion Association that they have officially announced your additional donation of one billion yuan through their official Weibo account. Many people in the Kyoto circle are sharing and praising it; your reputation has truly soared."
Jiang Wenxi leaned back in her chair, her fingertips lightly tapping her knees. Her gaze fell on the outline of the ancient alleyway passing by the window, and she said in a calm tone, "Reputation is secondary. The key is that the funds are truly used. You keep a close eye on the follow-up arrangements, and you must verify the flow of every penny to prevent anyone from interfering."
Although she was dedicated to charity, she couldn't tolerate any underhanded dealings, especially since this was in Kyoto, where any oversight could become a weapon for her opponents to use against her.
"Understood, Miss. I have contacted a trusted third-party auditing team to monitor the use of funds throughout the process and will report the progress to you weekly."
Jiang Yan respectfully agreed and then added.
"In addition, Mr. Su Zhenbang just sent a message to reconfirm that the private banquet at Xishan Villa will be held this Friday evening. He also specifically asked about your dietary preferences and wanted to prepare your favorite dishes in advance. His attitude is very thoughtful."
A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Wenxi's eyes.
Su Zhenbang's move was both a gesture of goodwill and an attempt to further explore her preferences and build a closer relationship.
She nodded slightly: "Reply to him that there's no need to prepare anything special, a simple home-cooked meal will suffice. Also, prepare that set of Qing Dynasty blue and white lotus-patterned teacups as a return gift for the banquet; it will be both polite and appropriate for neighborly relations."
That tea set was the same quality as the generous gift Su Zhenbang brought during his visit yesterday. It was a reciprocal gift, so it didn't seem like I was trying too hard to please him, nor did it make me look inferior.
Jiang Yan immediately noted it down, then hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Miss, there's been some activity from the Zhao family just now. An elder from the Zhao family contacted Mr. Zhou privately, wanting to inquire about your background, and also subtly mentioned wanting Zhao Manqi to come and apologize again to ease tensions."
Zhao Manqi lost face at the auction, and the Zhao family naturally wanted to make amends, but this roundabout approach clearly showed that they still had a testing mind.
"Ignore it." Jiang Wenxi's tone was indifferent, carrying an unyielding resolve.
"Whether they apologize or not is irrelevant; what matters is that they know their place. If the Zhao family is sensible, they will behave themselves; if they still want to provoke us, I don't mind making them withdraw completely from the Kyoto antique appraisal circle."
She never lacked the confidence to deal with trouble; if the Zhao family didn't know what was good for them, they would be courting death.
