I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 317 I'll Take Care of You

If the manager really disliked Lu Dong, he would have fired him directly after his previous mistakes.

Why wait until now?

The reason is simple. Although Su Qingyue and Chen Wei didn't say anything, no one could guess what they were thinking.

But at least the manager has a way to minimize the losses. For his own sake and for the sake of the auction house, Lu Dong absolutely cannot be allowed to live, no matter what.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Dong agreed readily, and did not act unreasonably as the manager had worried.

He's been dealing with people for so many years, he understands the principles of life. He brought this trouble upon himself, so no matter how wronged he felt, he could only swallow it down.

He brought this upon himself, so who can he blame?

"Hmm." The manager followed closely behind and left. Now, he had to keep a close eye on Chen Wei and Su Qingyue at all times to prevent any more idiots from doing anything as offensive as this.

By the time the manager arrived, Chen Wei had already signed the contract with Li Laigeng.

"Um, Mr. Chen, can I ask you for a favor?" Li Laigeng asked tentatively, hesitating to speak.

"Please speak, Mr. Li." Chen Wei was also curious about what Li Laigeng wanted to say to him, seeing his expression.

"My granddaughter really likes you. Could you please sign your autograph for me? It's her birthday in a few days, and I'd like to give it to her as a gift," Li Laigeng explained.

Chen Wei's identity was unusual, and he was genuinely worried that making some impolite requests would offend him.

“Of course, no problem.” Chen Wei picked up his pen again, and with a flourish of his brush, wrote his name in a graceful and elegant style.

"Thank you," Li Laigeng said gratefully.

He glanced at the words above, then looked at Chen Wei with a surprised expression. "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to have such beautiful handwriting."

“I do have this interest,” Chen Wei replied.

Next, it's just a matter of waiting for the auction to begin.

Chen Wei and Su Qingyue arrived early at the VIP box on the second floor of the auction house that had been prepared for them.

Looking down, a number of people had already gathered in the audience seats on the first floor. Judging from their attire, they were all well-known business owners.

It's definitely impossible to expect them to buy the jade bracelet.

Chen Wei scanned the second floor. Because the lobby was circular, he could see the other VIP rooms at a glance.

At this time, apart from Chen Wei and Su Qingyue, no one else is present in the VIP section.

"I never expected even Old Master Li's granddaughter to fall for your talent." Su Qingyue slightly raised her chin, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Wei and smiled, "Or perhaps, your looks?"

“I prefer talent,” Chen Wei said, feigning a serious expression.

"If you get a girlfriend in the future, will you be called a scumbag and lose a lot of fans?" Su Qingyue was very concerned about this question.

"Generally speaking, yes, but he wouldn't be a complete jerk, since I didn't toy with their feelings, unless..."

"Unless what?" Su Qingyue pressed.

"Unless I'm juggling multiple relationships," Chen Wei chuckled.

“However, those who criticize are ultimately a small minority. I can still serve the majority of people. Besides, I never intended to serve anyone; I am only responsible for creation,” Chen Wei added.

“That’s true. Even if you retire now, that money is enough for you to squander for several lifetimes. Besides, I’ll take care of you.” Su Qingyue’s tone was meant to comfort Chen Wei, but it sounded more like she was comforting herself.

Because she didn't look at Chen Wei when she said that.

Calling it self-consolation wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Is it really okay to treat you like my ATM?" Chen Wei joked. "It's my own money, I can spend it whoever I want, what's wrong with that?" Su Qingyue said matter-of-factly.

Like Chen Wei, she didn't care about other people's opinions.

“That makes sense,” Chen Wei said, arms crossed, nodding repeatedly.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came up from downstairs.

As if they had planned beforehand, the two looked over and saw that the people who had come to attend the auction were beginning to enter the venue one after another.

It was quite a grand affair.

The same thing happened on the second-floor VIP seats; people took their seats one after another, turning their gazes toward this side and nodding in greeting.

Chen Wei and Su Qingyue nodded in response.

Most people's attention was focused on Su Qingyue, because the guests were mostly men, and women, especially beautiful women, had a natural advantage in this regard.

Not to mention that Su Qingyue is dressed so beautifully today, a completely new charm that no one has ever seen before.

A single glance evokes a thousand years of memories, unforgettable.

These gazes made Su Qingyue feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She could only lower her head; it was none of her business if others saw her, and she could just pretend not to see them.

Noticing Su Qingyue's action, the others tactfully looked away.

The reason is simple: Su Qingyue has a man by her side, and he is in the VIP section. All of this tells everyone that she is no ordinary person and should not be offended easily.

Some people didn't recognize Su Qingyue and were wondering why they hadn't noticed such a beauty until today.

The celebrity circle should have been exposed by various media outlets long ago.

How exactly did they manage to hide it until today?
"Speaking of which, do you know who that woman is?" a middle-aged man asked the person accompanying him.

“The lady of the house is Su Qingyue, the richest woman in Jiangcheng.” The butler recognized Su Qingyue at a glance.

"What? Su, Su Qingyue!" The middle-aged man carefully recalled the scene from just now, then combined the two images in his mind, and they overlapped perfectly!

"I knew it! If there were such a beautiful woman, how could it only be known today?" After confirming Su Qingyue's identity, the middle-aged man finally felt relieved.

"However, why is there a man by the side of the famous Su Qingyue? And who is that man?" The middle-aged man had heard about the rumors that Su Qingyue was a perpetual bachelor who never blossomed.

She was completely indifferent to men, and there were even rumors that Su Qingyue preferred women.

Now it seems the rumors have been debunked.

“Master, that person’s identity is no ordinary one.”

"Oh! How is it unusual?" Hearing the butler's words, the middle-aged man became even more curious.

"Chen Wei is currently the most popular celebrity, bar none. He owns a six-star hotel, an entertainment company, Paradise Island, and..." The butler told the middle-aged man all the information he knew without holding anything back.

The reason I said this was to discourage the middle-aged man from having any ideas and from making a fool of himself by going to Su Qingyue.

He doesn't want to lose his job.

"That, that is indeed extraordinary." Just as the butler had predicted, the middle-aged man immediately dismissed his thoughts after hearing this.

They even stopped looking in that direction.
