A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Denard had not expected that such a chain reaction would occur. He had been waiting for the museum's collection to be auctioned today so that he could fill the holes in other businesses.

Now more and more people are gathering around him to ask for an explanation, all claiming that they have lost money doing business with him and want refunds and compensation.

Xu Youyou watched the fun with her eyes wide open. She couldn't help but feel anxious for Denard, thinking that the other party would probably have to pay a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, the good-natured Denard suddenly revealed a fierce look: "If you want to return it, you will have to step over my dead body!"

The others who were originally making a lot of noise suddenly fell silent.

Xu Youyou wanted to watch the excitement for a while longer, but was pulled away by Lu Jingyao, who had just received a refund and compensation.

Everyone was crammed into the car, and Xu Youyou was still complaining, "If we wait any longer, a fight will break out. Don't you care about such a beautiful and lively scene?"

Lu Jingyao's mouth twitched, and he casually pointed to a store at the intersection.

Xu Youyou looked over and saw that the store sold guns.

Lu Jingyao: "Let me remind you that guns are allowed here, so don't rush to watch everything."

Xu Youyou suddenly felt guilty. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "Mr. Denard's words were so effective? Why did those people stop bothering him when he said he wouldn't return or exchange them?"

Xu Youyou felt that if this kind of situation happened in the country, it would take several days to sort it out.

Lu Jingyao said: "The Denard family used to be involved in gangs."

Xu Youyou suddenly realized and asked in a low voice, "How can a gang member go bankrupt in business?"

Lu Jingyao said: "Where in this world is there a business that is guaranteed to make a profit?"

He suddenly took out the checkbook and started writing the check.

Xu Youyou curiously leaned over to take a look, then her eyes widened at the amount: "One hundred million! You're really willing to spend this money. Who are you giving it to?"

The next second, Lu Jingyao tore off the check with a swift movement and handed it to Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou: Ah?

Brother, why did you suddenly spend money without saying anything?

Lu Jingyao explained: "I want to keep part of the compensation given by the Denard family to pay taxes, so I can only give you this much."

Xu Youyou thought about the fact that the compensation was only one-fifth of the total price. She didn't know whether to lament that even the compensation had to be taxed, and the tax amount was so high, or to lament that Lu Jingyao was a person who, despite always having a cold face, was kind! He really gave money!

"Well... I didn't help much... Actually, it's okay if you don't give it to me..." Xu Youyou said politely.

Lu Jingyao didn't expose her false politeness. Instead, he said, "This is what you deserve. If I hadn't taken you on this trip, I would have lost so much money in vain. Take it. I never treat those who have helped me unfairly."

Xu Youyou's hand was about to touch the check, but after he persuaded her, she immediately took it.

This is one hundred million! And she earned it through her own ability! She earned one hundred million independently without any system prompts!

The car entered the Aman Hotel. When getting out, Xu Youyou shamelessly asked Lu Jingyao, "I want to ask your people to help deliver the stone sculpture to my room."

As the driver opened the trunk, a speechless look gradually appeared on Lu Jingyao's face.

"People at the museum said it was an antique," Xu Youyou said.

Lu Jingyao pointed to the hat on the stone carving, where there was a very conspicuous straight line: "This is the mark left by the electric cutting blade. Don't tell me you can't see it."

Xu Youyou followed the direction Lu Jingyao pointed and noticed the obvious cutting line. She was in a hurry to find something that was missing and didn't look closely at all. Now she could only smile awkwardly.

"How much did you spend?"

"It's not expensive, just ten thousand dollars, just consider it as a waste of money." Xu Youyou said.

Lu Jingyao reminded him again: "If you bring such a heavy stone sculpture back to China, it will cost a lot of money. How do you plan to ship it back, by sea or by air?"

Xu Youyou said without hesitation: "Of course it's air transport!"

Air freight was expensive, and Lu Jingyao's brows were almost knotted. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you like stone carving?"

Xu Youyou couldn't tell the truth. The system asked her to buy this stone sculpture. Even if it was not an antique, she was not confident in shipping it by sea. She would only feel at ease if it flew back to the country with her.

"I like it, I like it very much!" Xu Youyou said.

Lu Jingyao didn't say anything else. After asking his men to help send him to Xu Youyou's room, Xu Youyou didn't see him again for the next two days.

Even the game project that Xu Youyou wanted to invest in was approached by Lu Jingyao's investment team, who then took her to talk to Peter.

Xu Youyou spent 10 million US dollars and promised not to interfere with the game content, and eventually obtained 70% of the shares of this newly established game company.

The head of the investment team advised Xu Youyou at the time: "Ms. Xu, you are optimistic about this project, but sometimes the more shares you take, the better. After all, the core of this project is in their hands. Only by making appropriate concessions can they complete the work better."

After Xu Youyou heard him talk about Lu Jingyao's past successful investment cases, she finally dispelled all her doubts. Although she felt it was a pity that she only got 70% of the shares, she also understood that it was impossible for her to make all the money.

[Congratulations to the host for completing two quests in a short period of time and receiving the reward: Elementary Martial Arts Mastery.]

Xu Youyou looked at the system's prompt and her eyes lit up. Although the reward she received was marked "beginner", the system's beginner level always corresponded to the "advanced level" in the real world.

After all, the basic porcelain appraisal obtained last time was enough for Xu Youyou to obtain the same appraisal level as a professional appraiser.

A warm current surged in her body, and then she waved her hand casually, and her body seemed to be much more agile.

Xu Youyou only felt that she was terrifyingly strong now.

After completing two bargain hunting tasks in succession, the system stopped refreshing the tasks, and Xu Youyou finally had time to stroll around New York.

After two days of shopping spree, Xu Youyou spent a lot of money, but the more material conditions she satisfied, the emptier she seemed inside. She used to envy Gu Xueying for spending money like water, but now that it was her turn and her desire to buy was fully satisfied, she actually felt that this feeling was nothing special.

She looked at the system, which had been silent for two days, and felt itchy. She asked the hotel manager, "Is there any auction going on in New York recently?"

The hotel butler's job is to do his best to serve the guests. Hearing this, he felt embarrassed: "Ms. Xu, there is indeed an auction soon, but the auction invitation is very strictly distributed."

Seeing that the housekeeper had no way of getting an invitation, Xu Youyou asked again, "Are all the invitations of high threshold? Aren't there any invitations of low threshold? There are no private auctions either?"

Xu Youyou felt that it was too easy to get addicted to picking up bargains. If she didn't pick up any for a day, she would feel like ants crawling all over her body. She now urgently wanted to pick up something.

After thinking for a while, the hotel manager said, "Miss Xu, if you are interested, you can participate in the warehouse auction."
