Time passed quickly, in just a few seconds, but to everyone else it felt like an eternity.

The moment I saw Mingyu insert the card.

The machine's sound immediately rang out.

"You are a valued Infinite Card user, please use it with confidence."

The scene fell silent instantly, so quiet that not a pin drop could be heard. Everyone looked at Lin Xi with astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Thank goodness I didn't blurt out anything, or my face would have been swollen from being slapped."

"That's right, I only learned my lesson after being proven wrong so many times for the first time."

"But an Infinite Card, that's amazing!"

"She's more than just impressive; Murong Yan even mocked her. He probably wants to die right now."

"Hmph, serves him right for being so arrogant. The Murong family has now lost both their wife and their army."

"Yes."

The Murong family members, the subject of their discussion, all wore icy expressions, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Murong Yan, on the other hand, slumped uncontrollably in his seat, his face filled with despair and his eyes somewhat unfocused.

"It's over, it's really all over now. She's an Infinite Card, how is he supposed to fight her?"

Murong Yan recalled his previous provocative actions and felt like he wanted to die.

Why! Why does this person always have to work against me?! Why?

Murong Yan became increasingly unwilling to accept this outcome. He felt that things shouldn't have gone in this direction; they should have gone exactly as he had envisioned.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, his face turning red, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving traces of blood in his mouth.

He never imagined that he was the one who caused all of this.

"You have such a good son, he's a disgrace. Get back here right now."

“I’m not going back. I want to see how she explains this position.”

Murong Yan glanced at Lin Xi with a hint of malice, thinking to himself, "You can't possibly bring up the organizers, can you?"

He won't leave; he's going to wait here!

"Excuse me, Ms. Lin, this is your card." Mingyu apologized respectfully, bowing his head slightly.

Lin Xi nodded slightly and took the card.

After the farce ended, Lin Xi ignored him and raised the card in her hand again.

"Two billion."

"Okay, 90 billion for the first time. Anyone else want to raise the price? 90 billion for the second time, 90 billion for the third time. Okay, deal. Congratulations to Ms. Lin for winning the largest shopping mall in Shanghai."

At this moment, a huge round of applause erupted throughout the venue, all directed at Lin Xi.

"This is incredibly extravagant; it's the first time I've been so obviously a runner-up."

"Yeah, it was absolutely amazing! My mood was going up and down every minute."

"Xiao Ran, I think you should just be friends with her. She probably has a lot of influence behind her, and she might be the young lady of a reclusive family. Don't fall for her."

"Dad, I know what I'm doing."

After Ye's father turned around, Ye Jinran leaned back slightly and impatiently unbuttoned the first button of her shirt.

I don't know what to ask, and I feel really annoyed.

"Congratulations, host, for achieving the highest spending in the entire auction, becoming the undisputed tycoon of the event. Mission accomplished. Reward: 70% absolute equity in the auction, making you the new organizer. Would you like to claim your reward?" The system's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

"I'll take it immediately," Lin Xi replied, desperately trying to suppress the rising corners of her mouth.

"Okay, the reward has been successfully sent. Please check your account."

"Alright, that concludes today's auction. See you next time!" Mingyu announced loudly, his face beaming with joy.

"Wait a moment."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the source of the sound, and they all looked over.

"It's him again. Why can't he learn his lesson?"

"Watch your mouth. Their family isn't bankrupt yet, but they might come after you."

"Alright, alright."

"Mr. Murong, is there anything else you want to say?" Mingyu asked with a polite smile.

"Why is she allowed to sit in the front row, and even in the middle?" Murong Yan's tone was no longer as arrogant as before, but it wasn't much better.

“This…” Just as Mingyu was about to speak, a phone call came in. He picked up his phone, saw that it was the person in charge calling, and quickly answered.

"The organizer will be coming today. Remember to greet her later. I'll give you her phone number. Remember, she's the one who controls the company, so be careful when you receive her."

The other person's voice was quite loud; people who were nearby could faintly hear it.

"The organizer is really coming? Then she'll be..."

"No way, what a coincidence! This is too dramatic. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray it like this."

"This is exciting! I can't wait!"

Hmph, now I can finally punish you, right? Wait until the organizers come over and find you've taken their spot, then let's see how you handle it.

Murong Yan thought to himself, feeling a sense of vengeful pleasure as he looked at Lin Xi's back.

The Murong family also looked at Lin Xi with mocking eyes.

They dare to embarrass the Murong family; just wait and see how they die.

Ye Jinran was a little nervous at this moment. Although she knew that she was reliable, she still couldn't help but feel worried.

Looking at the worry hidden deep in his eyes, Ye's father shook his head inwardly. This silly boy, he might have gotten himself into this mess without even realizing it!

Mingyu replied with a smile, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the number he had just recorded.

"The fortune teller said that I will be showered with immense wealth, and shameless suitors will come knocking on my door one after another. No matter how much I eat every day or how much I love food, I will have a figure that others envy..."

As the bell rang, everyone's eyes turned strange.

That ringtone?

Lin Xi quickly rejected the call. This was the ringtone she had had before she met the system. She hadn't thought much of it at home, but with so many people around, the ringtone felt a bit unsettling.

Are the organizers present?

"That's impossible. Maybe someone just happened to get a phone call."

"Are you saying this ringtone belongs to the organizer? That shouldn't be the case. The organizer isn't short of money; they wouldn't set up a ringtone like this."

"That's true. If the organizers come, we shouldn't be completely unaware."

"Yes, you can hear that there's no sound now. It's probably just a coincidence."

"Where did that sound come from? Did you hear it clearly?"

"I don't know, it hung up too quickly."

Mingyu watched as the call he had made on his phone was disconnected, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Actually, he had just heard the ringtone sound as if it came from the first two rows of phones, but when he listened more closely, the sound disappeared.

Mingyu took a deep breath and dialed the organizer's number again...

Lin Xi pretended to be calm and opened her phone, thinking she should quickly change the ringtone, but to her surprise, the phone rang again...
