Awakening to cultivate immortality, he impulsively marries a beautiful CEO on the day of his divorce

Xu Linwei was surprised.

What do we have?

There's nothing there except the two of them!

Did they put my husband up for auction?

Time quickly came to nine o'clock in the evening, and the hostess walked onto the stage in a bright dress.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to this year's North China Business Federation Charity Gala. The gala is now officially open. Please welcome Chairman Geng of the North China Business Federation to deliver his opening remarks!"

Splash...

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

A middle-aged man walked onto the stage and began to give a speech.

Ye Cheng said, "Young Master Chen, this man is Geng Shanming, the president of the North China Chamber of Commerce. He carries a lot of weight in the northern business world. Even the Wan family has to show him respect."

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

Geng Shanming gave a brief speech and then left, and the hostess returned to the stage.

"Distinguished guests, the theme of this year's charity gala is caring for children's growth."

The auction is now open. We invite all guests to bring out their prized items to bid. The proceeds from the auction will be used to support education for children in underdeveloped areas.

The highest bidder will receive the title of Honorary President of this year's North China Business Federation.

The CEOs and chairmen were well-prepared, and the items were presented to the host in an orderly manner.

The most expensive item was a Tang Dynasty copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which sold for 230 million, far surpassing all others.

At this moment, a painting and calligraphy work was presented on the display stand.

The hostess announced, "This precious piece is an authentic work by Mi Fu from the Northern Song Dynasty, donated by the Zhong Group of Beijing. Please place your bids, esteemed guests."

"The Chung Group!"

Immediately, the audience erupted in noise.

"The Chung Group is really on a roll lately!"

"Yes, from a small group with a market value of less than one billion, it jumped to a market value of over 10 billion in less than a year."

"Hey! Don't you know? The daughter of the Zhong family patriarch married an elder of the Wan family, and the Wan family is giving the Zhong family all their support. How could they not make rapid progress?"

"I see. So the Wan family is going to support the honorary chairman of the Zhong family tonight?"

"Absolutely!"

"But that copy of Wang Xizhi's work has already fetched a record-breaking price of 200 million. No matter what, Mi Fu's calligraphy and painting can't surpass Wang Xizhi's. Wan Jia can't just forcibly change the rules, can he?"

"Who knows? The Wan family is no ordinary family; let's see what they do!"

……

A family of Wan's size would naturally disdain the title of honorary chairman, but his underlings would care a great deal about it.

Xu Linwei became increasingly nervous upon hearing these comments.

"Honey, what exactly is this 'treasure' you're talking about? The Wan family seems determined to get it."

Chen Yi patted her hand: "Don't worry, I promise to make you the honorary president tonight."

"Ten million!" Soon, someone raised their paddle and made a bid.

"Ten million for a genuine Mi Fu painting? I'll offer twenty million!"

"That's all petty stuff. Is this all the Zhong Group's prized possessions are worth? I'll offer fifty million!"

"Sixty million!"

"Eighty million!"

……

The bidding immediately became fierce.

Firstly, Mi Fu's authentic works are indeed treasures; secondly, many people want to take the opportunity to curry favor with Wan Jia.

However, when the price reached 150 million, no one raised the bid anymore.

"Mi Fu's original work is worth at most 100 million. The current price is just someone deliberately driving up the price because of Wan Jia's influence."

"Exactly, there's absolutely no way this can surpass Wang Xizhi's copy!"

"The Zhong family head's plan is going to fail this time. Who knew that a piece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy would appear?"

……

Chung Hsin-liang stood behind Wan Zi-tung, anxiously wringing his hands.

"Miss Wan, what should we do? No one is raising the price anymore."

"What's your rush? If I say you'll be the president, you'll be the president. Who dares to object?"

Wan Zitong raised her eyebrows and said impatiently.

She raised her hand.

"I'll offer 300 million!"

Immediately someone held up a sign and shouted.

Three hundred million!

The entire audience was immediately taken aback.

Turning my head, I saw that it was a woman.

Chen Yi also looked over, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He recognized the woman; she was Nie Jing, Cai Jingxi's wife!

This woman, last time she fought him for the jade pendant, she was heartbroken over a hundred million, how come she's willing to take three hundred million today?

Ye Cheng said, "Young Master Chen, that woman's name is Nie Jing, Miss Wan's follower. She's made a lot of money by serving Miss Wan all these years, so this must be Miss Wan's doing."

"I see," Chen Yi nodded.

It turns out that the Wan family wanted to support the Zhong family in this way.

Indeed, they have money and they're willing, so what can you do about it?

Seeing this, everyone understood what the Wan family meant, and who would dare to act rashly?

Today, the title of Honorary President undoubtedly belongs to Chung Hsin-liang.

Zhong Xinliang was overjoyed at this sight.

"Miss Wan, you're truly brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Wan Zitong simply couldn't be bothered with him.

If it weren't for the ancestor's instructions, she wouldn't bother helping such a fool.

"A first for 300 million!"

"Three hundred million, for the second time!"

"Three hundred million for the third time! Congratulations to Mr. Nie on winning a genuine Northern Song Dynasty Mi Fu painting."

As the host brought down the gavel, sparse applause rang out in the hall.

Everyone was displeased.

"What the Wan family is doing is outrageous! Why bother with auctions anymore? They can just decide who gets the job!"

"Exactly! If the rules are broken, what will become of the Chamber of Commerce's reputation?"

"Keep your voice down, the walls may be overhearing!"

……

Geng Shanming, sitting on the podium, also looked displeased.

Wan Jia's actions were indeed a slap in the face to the Chamber of Commerce.

But what's done is done, and there's no going back.

He glanced at Wan Zitong, his eyes stern.

The hostess announced loudly, "Which guests have any other treasures to auction? Please bring them up."

For a moment, everyone remained motionless.

What's the point of bidding? Even if there are better treasures to bring up, who would dare to bid more than 300 million?

Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

Zhong Xinliang was overjoyed.

"Haha! It's done! I'm the chairman of the chamber of commerce now! Ms. Wan, thank you! Thank you!"

Wan Zitong acted nonchalantly, as if he had only done an extremely ordinary little thing.

Xu Linwei said dejectedly, "Honey, let's forget it. Even if we bring out some priceless treasure, no one will be willing to bid. Who dares to offend the Wan family!"

Chen Yi smiled slightly.

Whether or not you dare to offend them depends on how attractive the treasure is.

After saying that, he stood up and walked straight to the podium.

"husband!"

Xu Linwei was shocked. What was he doing at the stage? Did he really want to auction himself off?
