The ink jade orchid is the token of the Orchid Gate, one of the ancient Outer Eight Sects.
Whether embodying the role of a Dao Sect inheritor or an Appraiser, Chen Feng could recognize that this ancient item was a genuine ink jade orchid.
What a coincidence.
This item was actually collected by the production team.
However, no one at the charity auction seemed to recognize this item.
The reason everyone was bidding up the price might simply be that it looked like an old artifact.
Old artifacts are naturally valuable.
However, due to its ancient age, the carving of the ink jade orchid was rough, and ink jade is not considered a particularly precious type of jade by modern people.
Modern jade enthusiasts prefer the suet white grade.
Therefore, the market for ink jade is generally average.
Soon, when the price reached 5.5 million, no one else at the scene made a sound.
The bidder was a man with a receding hairline, appearing to be in his forties.
Looking at the jade Buddha pendant on his chest, it was clear he was someone who liked jade.
The host on stage repeatedly confirmed if anyone else wanted to increase their bid.
After confirming there were no more bidders, the gavel fell.
The man had a look of joy on his face.
He had also confirmed with a friend and carefully researched it, feeling that this ancient ink jade should have some value, which was why he spent a large sum to acquire it.
Chen Feng stood in the distance, secretly shaking his head.
The ink jade orchid means nothing to ordinary people, but to the people of the Orchid Gate, it is a spiritual symbol.
The production team didn't know the meaning of that item, and the live broadcast showed everything.
If someone with ill intentions saw it, it would be strange if there were no trouble.
In modern society, the Orchid Gate controls 90% of the peripheral women through four Phoenix Buildings, and through these women, they have woven a vast network of connections.
Their power behind the scenes is deeply rooted and complex.
If they wanted to retrieve the ink jade orchid, they had plenty of means.
Therefore, whoever touches that item will be unlucky.
Although Chen Feng recognized the ink jade orchid, he had no interest in touching it.
Only a fool would ask for trouble.
It's better to quietly experience his role.
Anyway, among the Outer Eight Sects, he had already obtained the inheritance of two: the Red Handkerchief and the Dao Sect inheritance were in hand, and the blood cloth and dao ling (thief's token) were also on him.
He truly had no interest in coveting the Orchid Gate's belongings.
Chen Feng turned and continued to drink, chatting casually with Erma and Yu Zhiwen.
...
Another half an hour later.
The charity auction was nearing its end.
The funds raised through the auction barely reached ten million.
It was barely acceptable.
The production team publicly stated in front of the live camera that this money would be officially donated to the disaster-stricken areas in the west the next day, hoping to bring some relief and improvement to the people in the disaster area.
The live streaming platform was filled with comments of "666" (meaning awesome).
That night.
Chen Feng requested the production team's account number and directly called Yu Jinhua, asking him to transfer two million from the account.
Ning Jia felt relieved.
Not bad!
This guy really had the money to buy that bottle of wine.
She had heard that Chen Feng lived in a villa area in Yan Jing, and it seemed the rumors were true.
His background was not as simple as what was spread online.
...
Evening.
A celebratory banquet was held in the Actor Cabin.
The production team paid for a lavish dinner for the ten champions of the sub-districts.
Everyone was not polite.
They had a wonderful meal.
Everyone drank a lot of alcohol.
Around midnight, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep, slightly tipsy.
The next three or four days would be for rest.
After that, it would be the official final battle.
...
In the room.
Chen Feng simply washed up, preparing to sleep.
He had drunk a lot of alcohol tonight too.
Feeling a bit dizzy.
This feeling was perfect for sleeping.
Just as he was about to lie down, there was a soft knock on the door.
Chen Feng turned, walked to the door, and opened it.
It was Tang Xin.
She stood openly at the door, still wearing the cute pajamas from last night, looking at Chen Feng prettily: "Can I come in and sit for a bit?"
"Now?"
Chen Feng was startled: "It's already past midnight."
"What's there to be afraid of after midnight?"
Tang Xin looked at Chen Feng in confusion: "Are you going to turn into a mouse?"
"Pfft."
Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Are you teasing me?"
Tang Xin also smiled slightly, her eyebrows raised, and she softly said: "So, can I or can't I? Let me come in and sit, I have something I want to tell you."
Chen Feng blinked.
His first thought was of her sneak attack on him last night.
She had something to say?
And at such a late hour?
This was a bit ambiguous.
Chen Feng slowly took two steps back, helplessly saying: "Come in, I was about to go to sleep. You'd better not say anything too shocking, or if you scare away my sleepiness, I won't let you off."
"Hehe, don't worry."
Tang Xin happily slipped inside.
She was very happy.
Because Chen Feng's way of speaking to her felt completely familiar, slowly like that of friends.
Chen Feng casually closed the door.
"What do you want to say? Just say it directly."
Tang Xin looked up, pointed at the camera on the wall: "Is it off?"
"It's off."
"That's good."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Tang Xin turned to look at Chen Feng, her big eyes sparkling, her gaze shifting, her face flushed, she hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly: "I want to ask you, do you currently have a girlfriend?"
"Why?"
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat.
"You answer first, do you or don't you? Right now. The internet says your girlfriend is the campus belle of Yan Film Academy, and some say she's Tong Gege's assistant, and some even say you..."
"Say I'm being kept?"
Chen Feng laughed.
"Yes. Is it true?"
"Fake."
Chen Feng shrugged: "I do know a rich female friend, but it's not to the extent of being kept. I think I can still support myself."
"Then how did you... get two million to buy that bottle of red wine?"
Tang Xin asked curiously.
"Tang Xin, why are you so concerned about my affairs?"
Chen Feng looked directly into Tang Xin's eyes.
"I... You answer me first, okay? I want to know the answer."
Tang Xin's almost pleading, coquettish tone made Chen Feng's blood rush a little.
Sichuan girls have always been fiery.
But he had never seen her act coquettishly.
He didn't expect her to show this charming side to him tonight.
Chen Feng couldn't help but smile: "Are you sure you'll believe whatever I say?"
"Mm, I'm sure. As long as you say it, I'll believe it."
Tang Xin nodded seriously.
"Alright then."
Chen Feng said casually: "I have a grandfather with Alzheimer's, and half a year ago, one day he suddenly wasn't senile anymore, and he brought my parents to dig up many treasures from the old house. After appraisal by professionals, those treasures might be worth over a hundred million. Therefore, my parents became nouveau riche, and I became the son of nouveau riche. Do you believe this?"
Tang Xin: "..."
Chen Feng: "You don't believe it, do you?"
Tang Xin nodded: "I believe it."
Chen Feng: "You really believe it?"
Tang Xin: "I really believe it. When men usually lie, they have some small gestures. But you don't, you're very honest."
Chen Feng: "..."
Tang Xin: "So, you don't have a girlfriend now?"
Chen Feng: "I... just broke up with my girlfriend not long ago."
Tang Xin: "Then can I be your girlfriend?"
Chen Feng: "..."
Tang Xin: "I'm serious."
Tang Xin slowly walked in front of Chen Feng, looked up at him, and said very seriously: "Can I be your girlfriend? I've fallen for you. I'm telling the truth, not joking at all."
Chen Feng blinked: "To be honest, I... haven't fallen for you yet. So..."
"Got it."
Tang Xin took a deep breath, trying to hold up her proud body, looking up at Chen Feng like a white swan, and said with a smile: "I'll work hard to make you fall for me."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Chen Feng: "..."
He knew she was going to say that.
Now, his sleepiness was truly gone.
