The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

Jingzhou.

Changchi Group's headquarters are located at an international military base.

The base buildings are magnificent and imposing, with sentry posts standing guard all around.

The defenses were extremely tight, both inside and out.

In a bright and clean office.

Bai Zhi is on the phone.

When he learned that Chen Xiao did not plan to return to Jingzhou for the time being, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Brother Chen, you can't just focus on your canary, can you?" Bai Zhi's personality was as mature and composed as it was in front of outsiders, but as unrestrained as it was in front of Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was somewhat displeased: "What canary?"

Bai Zhi immediately knelt down: "I misspoke, it should be sister-in-law."

Chen Xiao was too lazy to argue with him and said in a cold voice, "You and other departments should cut off all basic decisions at headquarters. Send me the major decision-making plans by email later."

Bai Zhi: "..."

He finally understands it now.

Brother Chen is planning to stay in Yancheng for a long time and not leave.

My sister-in-law is probably a succubus.

This made Brother Chen so happy that he forgot all about home and became completely immersed in the world of beauties.

Love is such a curse!

-

At a jewelry gala dinner.

The guests mingled and drank, their elegant attire and graceful bearing a vibrant atmosphere.

Yan Ting wore a light blue, fitted satin dress, her figure graceful and slender, the light reflecting off the fabric to create a sense of flowing water.

Tan Yi also came.

She wore an off-the-shoulder fuchsia dress, which, combined with her bright red lips and curly hair, made her look like a blooming red rose.

The audience was filled with business tycoons and wealthy celebrities.

Jewelry is displayed to the audience by models.

Yan Ting sat in the second row of the audience.

She watched as one tall model after another passed by, their jewelry of different colors and styles dazzling under the lights.

This dinner was hosted by the Sheng family.

The Sheng family started out in the jewelry industry, making them giants in Yancheng's jewelry sector.

"They're all quite beautiful." When it comes to jewelry, there are probably few women who dislike it. Even Tan Yi, who originally just accompanied Yan Ting to take a look, unexpectedly found herself drawn to several styles.

Yanting didn't particularly like any of them.

The main issue is that I don't feel there's anyone particularly suitable for Chen Xiao.

Moreover, most men seem to wear very little jewelry.

It's quite difficult to find one with a beautiful design that you can wear often.

After the models finished their runway show, the auction began.

The items put up for auction are naturally the best of the best.

Yan Ting was somewhat dazzled by what she saw.

Until her gaze suddenly fell on a snake bone necklace that looked rather ordinary.

The top of the necklace is a snake's head, adorned only with an amber-colored jewel.

The style was somewhat ordinary among the many auction items, but Yanting took a liking to it at first sight.

The minimum bid for the auction is 1.

The auction will proceed in this manner.

Without a second thought, Yan Ting raised his paddle to begin the auction.

Tan Yi was somewhat surprised: "You like this style?" She thought Yan Ting would like a crown with a girlish style.

Yanting remained noncommittal.

She raised her paddle again to bid.

But unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.

Yan Ting turned her head and saw that the woman who had suddenly appeared was a rather pretty woman.

Tan Yi looked over, "Shen Miao?"

Yan Ting asked, "Do you know him?"

Tan Yi shook her head: "I wouldn't say I know her, but she's a recently popular young actress."

Yan Ting glanced at the female celebrity named Shen Miao again, only to find that Shen Miao was also looking over, but her gaze carried a subtle provocation.

She did it on purpose.

Yan Ting frowned.

She didn't remember ever having a grudge against Shen Miao.

Besides, today is the first time she has met her.

The auction is still ongoing.

Yanting raised the price again, by 200,000.

Who knew that as soon as she raised the price, Shen Miao followed suit and raised the price by 210,000.

This means they're determined to compete with her to the very end.

Tan Yi: "Tingting, forget it, this snake bone necklace isn't worth the price."

But Yanting just had that stubborn streak.

They raised the price directly to 500,000.

Shen Miao originally wanted to raise her price, but her agent stopped her, saying, "Shen Miao, you better behave yourself. If President Sheng finds out, you can forget about acting."

Shen Miao had no choice but to stop bidding.

The main reason she bid was because Sheng Yuanze's attitude towards that guy named Yanting made her feel a sense of crisis.

That's why I wanted to take advantage of this auction to teach the other party a lesson.

But to my surprise, the woman immediately raised the price by 500,000.

He's probably gone mad.

This snake bone necklace originally sold for at most 300,000 yuan, it's not worth that price at all.

After Yanting won the bid, Tan Yi asked, "Don't you like cats?"

Yanting replied, "It wasn't bought for myself."

Tan Yi then realized, "Was it picked out for that Mr. Chen?"

Yanting remained noncommittal.

However, Tan Yi was already certain that the snake bone necklace was chosen for Chen Xiao.

"No wonder," Tan Yi said. "That explains why you kept raising the price."

"This snake bone chain is indeed quite suitable for men to wear."

Midway through the auction, Yanting went to the restroom.

I asked a waiter for directions to the restroom.

"At the end of the corridor," the waiter said, pointing in that direction.

"Thank you."

I wonder if it's just a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Yanting ran into the female celebrity named Shen Miao in the restroom.

She didn't want to talk to her, but as she was about to leave after washing her hands, Shen Miao called out to her, "Yanting, right?"

Yan Ting asked with some confusion, "You know me?"

Shen Miao raised her chin and said coldly, "Stay away from Brother Sheng."

Yan Ting said calmly, "You may have misunderstood. I don't know this so-called Brother Sheng you're talking about."

Shen Miao naturally didn't believe it: "Sheng Yuanze, don't tell me you don't know."

Yan Ting suddenly realized.

It turned out to be Sheng Yuanze.

"I'm not familiar with him."

Shen Miao stared at her, still not believing it. She suddenly froze when she caught a glimpse of the rose-pink diamond on Yan Ting's neck.

"Is your pink diamond a fake?"

Yan Ting frowned, her tone somewhat displeased: "Sorry, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Shen Miao scoffed, "I remember the person who bought that pink diamond worth over 100 million wasn't surnamed Yan." The implication was that the one Yan Ting was wearing around her neck was a fake.

She didn't think Yanting could afford that money.

A turnover of over 100 million yuan is not something that even a rich second-generation or a CEO can easily come up with all at once, let alone someone who is rich.

Shen Miao naturally assumed that the rose pink diamond Yan Ting was wearing was fake.

Yanting was too lazy to argue with her. "Whether it's a fake or not is none of your business."

"Besides, have you considered that perhaps someone bought it specifically as a gift for me?"

Shen Miao's first reaction was that it was impossible.

But looking at Yan Ting's overly beautiful face, she hesitated slightly.

But at the same time, she also felt a little jealous.

Brother Sheng must have been seduced by this face.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao said domineeringly, "You'd better not covet what you shouldn't covet."

Yan Ting was usually mild-mannered, but at this moment, Shen Miao managed to make her a little impatient. She scoffed, "What is he? He doesn't deserve my covetousness."
