The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

But a new problem arose. The auction was closed to the public. At least the people who went were at Yi Fengteng's level, so Chu Mu couldn't get a ticket at all.

Even Qi Man’s father, the owner of Zhucheng Evening News, couldn’t get it.

This is why Chu Mu agreed to the bet with Stephen Lee even though he knew about the auction.

Chu Mu suddenly felt completely hopeless, just when she was trying to find another way to sneak into the auction.

Yi Yichen suddenly came to her desk, tapped the table, and said, "Since you've performed well, I'll give you one last chance."

The bony hands tapped lightly on the two tickets for this auction.

Chu Mu understood the meaning and was delighted. However, his expression remained calm as always: "Thank you, Mr. Yi."

"Secretary Chu, you'd better seize this opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

"Mr. Yi gave me the ticket, how could I have missed my stop?" Chu Mu looked up at him, adjusting his slightly loose tie with his hands, a sly look in his eyes.

"Secretary Chu, don't fall for honey traps during the day." Yi Yichen lowered his head and took Chu Mu's hand away. He turned around, the smile hidden in his eyes surging.

Turning around, Chu Mu told Qi Man the good news.

The next day.

Downstairs of InterContinental Hotel.

Chu Mu and Qi Man arrived as scheduled, and the two discussed the matter at the auction.

Chu Mu wasn't worried about the money. The American Express black card Yi Yichen gave her could be used to spend 80 million yuan a day. Lin Jiaojiao, on the other hand, was a cause for concern.

"Lin Jiaojiao will also be at the auction," Qi Man said. "She's been traveling with Yi Fengteng to Europe, Las Vegas, and Macau lately. It seems like she's determined to win this auction."

Yi Fengteng and Lin Jiaojiao's wedding was canceled due to Lin Chusheng's detention pending trial. However, their relationship grew stronger as a result, with Zhang Tingyu even publicly declaring in the social circle that Lin Jiaojiao would never be allowed to enter the Yi family.

Yi Fengteng and Lin Jiaojiao have become more and more high-profile. It seems that Lin Jiaojiao has been very successful in provoking the relationship between mother and son.

The emerald at the auction was originally intended to be given to Lin Jiaojiao, but it was canceled because of the wedding.

This time, in order to express his importance to Lin Jiaojiao, Yi Fengteng will definitely help her get the emerald.

As the president of Yi Jewelry, it was easy for Yi Fengteng to buy an emerald in the name of the company.

Chu Mu's situation was not favorable.

"Mumu, do you want to go and beg Yi Yichen again?" Qi Man said.

After more than two months of coaxing Yi Yichen into giving her two tickets, it was clear that he wouldn't give her the gems directly.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu said, "If we can't get the gems at the auction, we'll think of other ways."

Qi Man nodded, then suddenly frowned, turned around and looked back.

She looked around, her face full of doubt. Chu Mu noticed her expression and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel like someone is following me lately." Qi Man thought thoughtfully.

Chu Mu looked at the rearview mirror. Apart from a few staff members, there were only people who were also attending the auction. He didn't see any other suspicious people.

Chu Mu was worried about Qi Man's mental state and asked with concern, "Have you not had enough rest recently?"

Qi Man rubbed his temples: "Maybe."

"After you're done with this busy period, take a good rest during your break." Ever since Chu Mu applied for the job at Kehua, Qi Man had been handling all matters at the studio. She was really busy.

"Thank you, Boss Chu." Qi Man saluted.

The auction was held in the Grand Ballroom on the 78th floor of the InterContinental Hotel.

Chu Mu and Qi Man registered at the door and received number plates to enter the banquet hall.

I ran into Lin Jiaojiao and Yi Fengteng head-on.

Lin Jiaojiao was wearing a high-end diamond-studded princess dress. She held Yi Fengteng's arm and raised her neck as if showing off her trophy.

She walked over, her words revealing the pride of a poor child suddenly rich: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be at this auction."

This auction was a closed one, so not many people came, but each one was a leader in their field with substantial assets. It could be said that anyone attending this auction had to be at least at Yi Fengteng's level.

Lin Jiaojiao was obviously saying that Chu Mu was not qualified.

Chu Mu chuckled and ignored her.
