Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 652 653: A Bunch of Spendthrifts

The sounds of disdain reached the ears of Gu Yunxi and Xiao Tianyu, yet the two of them displayed a look of indifference, ignoring the sarcastic remarks around them.

Da da da~

Immediately, Gu Yunxi walked towards the hall but was stopped by the security guard at the door. The guard spoke, "People not involved, please leave!"

"Embarrassed?"

"Haha~ Gu Yunxi is finally embarrassed!" Murong Pengfei showed a triumphant look.

"People not involved?" Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes stared at the security guard and said, "I wonder if with this, I'm qualified to attend the financial conference!"

Saying that, Gu Yunxi took a gold card out of her LV bag, which gleamed under the lights. Needless to say, this card was the entry ticket.

Seeing this, Murong Pengfei was dumbfounded. Who exactly embarrassed whom?

"How did she get the gold card?" Someone expressed confusion. The financial conference did not invite Gu Yunxi, so where did her gold card come from? Could she be representing a company?

Not likely, right?

Now that Gu Corporation has disappeared, who would have Gu Yunxi represent them?

"Sorry, I was rude just now, please come in!" The guard's attitude changed immediately. Gu Yunxi ignored him and walked into the hall with Xiao Tianyu.

As for Gu Yunxi, she walked straight toward the upper seats, while Xiao Tianyu casually chose a seat in the hall, as if what was happening there had nothing to do with him, just coming along for the ride.

"Gu Yunxi, you are not qualified to sit among the top seats!" Murong Bai snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi turned her beautiful eyes: "Are you qualified?"

"..." Murong Bai was left speechless, looking unpleasant.

Gu Yunxi continued, "I hold a gold card, I am one of the invited. Who else dares to say I am not qualified to sit at the top?"

With these words, many people below whispered to each other but none dared to refute, seemingly agreeing with Gu Yunxi. As one of the invited, why shouldn't she sit at the upper places, vying for the financial officer position?

Soon, under various gazes, Gu Yunxi reached the upper seats and casually chose a spot to sit down, her beautiful eyes showing no emotion.

Now, sitting in a row with Gu Yunxi, the presidents of major groups all showed a somewhat strange expression, clearly not expecting Gu Yunxi to attend the financial conference, finding it quite interesting.

Da da da~

All the media journalists from various major publications rushed over, starting interviews.

"Hello, President Gu!" a reporter started: "As everyone knows, the Gu Corporation declared bankruptcy a few days ago, and your residence was taken by the bank. Why are you participating in this financial conference?"

"President Gu, please, where did your gold card come from, and which company is supporting you?"

"President Gu, is there some hidden agenda behind your participation in the financial conference now?"

"..."

Faced with the barrage of questions, Gu Yunxi only responded with four words: "No comment!"

These words left not only the journalists but also the curious individuals disappointed, as many were eager to know why Gu Yunxi suddenly appeared here.

"Silence!" At this moment, a young host spoke into the microphone: "The financial conference is held once every three years, and it concerns the future of Fengzhou City's financial sector. The candidate for this session's chief financial officer is still unknown. However, before every financial conference, an entertainment program is scheduled. For this session, it's just like before!"

As before, it was an auction.

Soon, under many gazes, a beautiful lady was seen carrying a particularly exquisite brocade box.

The host continued, "The first item to be auctioned is a set of cosmetics named 'Forever Young.' This Forever Young set not only uses South Sea pearls but also contains rare thousand-year-old glacial snow and other valuable medicinal ingredients. Besides the cosmetic effect, it can maintain youthful appearance for a century..."

At these words, the beauties in the hall were all in an uproar. To have a cosmetical item that promises a face that stays young for a hundred years is truly prestige in cosmetics. What woman doesn't want to stay beautiful?

Especially the girlfriends of the major group's sons, who were filled with excitement.

"Forever, I want that makeup. You have to bid for it and give it to me!"

"Tch, keep dreaming. My Qiu Feng loves me the most. He will spare no expense to bid for that cosmetic, so just give up!"

"You dare to fight me; that makeup is mine!" He Yun's girlfriend said.

"Then let's see whose boyfriend is willing to spend money!"

"..."

Soon, the girlfriends of the major group's sons began to argue, while Xiao Tianyu continued sitting among the crowd, unbothered, as if the cosmetics didn't even catch his attention.

However, just then, Murong Pengfei taunted Xiao Tianyu: "You're not planning to bid for that set of cosmetics and give it to your girlfriend, are you?"

"Murong Pengfei, don't joke. As if he could... He's more likely to buy cheap market goods. Honestly, I can't see what Gu Yunxi likes about him!" Cui Yongyuan remarked, siding with Murong Pengfei due to their enmity towards Xiao Tianyu.

"Maybe he's just hiding his true self!" Qiu Feng said with a smile: "Pengfei, last night, I heard your villa got scammed off you by him, and even led to your breakup with Liu Yue, is that true?"

"Yes!" Murong Pengfei nodded, openly admitting. He continued, "Who knows what kind of relationship he has with that bank manager Zhu Cong? Maybe he's Zhu Cong's illegitimate son!"

"Alright, silence!" the host exclaimed. "Since its benefits have been explained, let the auction begin!"

The host continued, "The starting bid for Forever Young is ten million, with each increment no less than one million. The auction officially begins now!"

"Eleven million!" a young man quickly called out.

"Fifteen million!" another person responded.

"Twenty million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

"..."

Soon, the price for Forever Young was pushed to the high price of fifty million.

"Forever, why haven't you bid yet? If someone else gets the cosmetics, don't touch me afterward!"

"Qiu Feng, bid! Are you unwilling to spend money on me?"

"..."

The girlfriends of the major groups' sons began to worry.

However, the sons shrugged, thinking with our status, bidding at this price would be losing face, let's wait..."
