Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

On the day of the auction, Ye Yu went downstairs to have breakfast.

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, he saw a graceful woman swaying her slender waist as she walked over and sat down next to Gao Weimin.

As soon as she sat down, Gao Weimin frowned in disgust: "What are you doing here?"

The woman pouted her bright red lips and said aggrievedly, "Don't be so mean to me. The reason I left without saying goodbye was because I was scared. You know I can't take hardship."

Gao Weimin said coldly, "You took so much money, and I didn't ask you to get it back. My son is sick and we don't have money to treat him, and I don't blame you for that either. I've already done more than enough for you."

"But if I keep holding onto that little bit of money, it will all be gone someday."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Gao Weimin asked impatiently.

"I heard that you and a woman have unearthed several rare jadeite pieces these past few days? The imperial green, red jadeite, and white translucent jadeite that are going to be auctioned today?"

Gao Weimin realized what was going on and sneered, "Wang Qigang sent you, didn't he? You can forget about it. Don't even think about getting your hands on those jade pieces. I'm just a small advisor."

"Didn't Yang Xuejiang say that you and that woman had a close relationship?"

"He's despicable; everything he sees is despicable. You're all the same," Gao Weimin mocked.

"Hmph, all you can do now is talk. You're always pretending to be righteous. I asked you to use your position to get some benefits so that my son and I could live a better life, but you always refused. What did you promise me before? What kind of life have I been living since I started dating you?"

Gao Weimin closed his eyes in anguish: "I promised to give you a better life in the future, and I failed to do so. But you want me to use my position to line my own pocket? I absolutely cannot do that."

“Now you’ve taken most of the family fortune and gone with Wang Qigang. He’s the company’s vice president and has taken over the purchasing position. You’re better off with him than with me.”

The woman smiled brightly: "Of course, he's much more successful than you. Now that I'm with him, I can buy whatever I want."

After the woman finished speaking, she stood up and looked at Gao Weimin with disdain, saying, "You can slowly become my advisor."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ye Yu sat at a table not far away, eating and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

After the woman left, Gao Weimin followed her departing gaze and finally saw Ye Yu.

He walked over and greeted her: "Good morning, Miss Ye Yu."

Good morning! Would Mr. Gao like some more?

Ye Yu glanced at the food on his plate; it was barely touched.

Gao Weimin knew that Ye Yu had seen what had just happened, so he brought the food to her table and sat down.

Gao Weimin said helplessly, "The woman who was talking to me just now is my ex-wife. I pursued her for two years in college, and she only agreed to marry me after her family went bankrupt. At that time, I promised her that I would make sure she could live the same life as before. But she is used to spending money lavishly and actually wanted me to use my position of purchasing jade to line my own pocket. I can't do that."

“Wang Qigang was also the vice president of our company before, and he is my mortal enemy. He used my ex-wife to have her steal my seal and a series of documents on my purchase of raw stones from the house. He then colluded with Yang Xuejiang to replace the raw stones I purchased. After defeating me, he successfully got the purchasing job.”

“My ex-wife came to me earlier to ask about the jade auction. I suspect Wang Qigang sent her to gather information. He should be at the auction today.”

After hearing Gao Weimin's words, Ye Yu nodded inwardly, proving that her judgment was correct.

She would feel more at ease handing the jewelry company over to Gao Weimin for management in the future.

"Such despicable people will get their comeuppance sooner or later; you don't need to waste your energy on them."

Ye Yu couldn't judge his relationship with his ex-wife, so she could only offer him a few words of comfort.

After having breakfast, the two entered the auction hall, which was already filled with many people.

Ye Yu spotted Gao Weimin's ex-wife and Yang Xuejiang in the third row.

His ex-wife was clinging tightly to a man's arm, presumably Wang Qigang, and the two of them were standing and talking to Liu Xi.

Ye Yu and Gao Weiming exchanged a glance, walked to their seats in the first row, and Liu Xi, who was talking, saw them and quickly came over to greet them.

"Oh, Miss Ye Yu, you've arrived. Look at all these people who have come today, all here for those three pieces of jade. Are you satisfied with this scene?"

"Since I chose to hold the auction here with Mr. Liu, I naturally trust you completely," Ye Yu said with a smile.

Wang Qigang also came over. He extended his hand to Ye Yu and introduced himself: "You must be Ms. Ye Yu? I am Wang Qigang, the vice president of Yishun Company."

Ye Yu crossed her arms, neither speaking to him nor shaking his hand.

Wang Qigang's face stiffened for a moment, then he regained his composure and said, "Miss Ye Yu may have listened to some people's slander and distorted some facts, thus misunderstanding me."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Weimin and said, "However, facts speak louder than words, and you will know that I sincerely want to cooperate with you."

Ye Yu looked at the woman holding his arm with a mocking gaze and said, "Your ability to lie through your teeth is truly remarkable. As for whether or not we can cooperate, that depends on my shareholders."

"Your shareholders?"

Ye Yu pointed to Gao Weiming and introduced him to Wang Qigang: "This Mr. Gao Weiming is a shareholder of our jewelry company, and he will be in charge of managing the company from now on. If Mr. Wang wants to cooperate with us in the future, please contact Mr. Gao."

Ye Yu's words successfully made Wang Qigang and the woman beside him look ugly.

"Miss Ye Yu may not know this, but Gao Weimin previously purchased a batch of scrap materials from our company, causing us to lose a large sum of money."

"Yes, I know, Mr. Gao told me everything." Ye Yu nodded.

“How could he possibly still have money to invest?” Gao Weimin’s ex-wife said, pointing at Gao Weimin.

"Mr. Gao is contributing his technology as equity. I trust his character, so I gave him 10% of the shares. Is there a problem with that?"

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Liu Xi, who had watched the whole thing from the side, chuckled and said, "Miss Ye Yu, President Gao, President Wang, the auction is about to begin. Why don't you all return to your seats?"

Ye Yu naturally wouldn't refuse him, so she led Gao Weimin to sit down in the first row.

Wang Qigang, his face grim, shook off Gao Weiming's ex-wife's hand, tugged at his clothes, and returned to his seat in the third row.

The ex-wife seemed somewhat frightened. She bit her lip and turned to look at Gao Weiming's back. She forced a smile and sat down next to Wang Qigang.
