Benefits?

Fu Xiting had never thought that such words would come out of Jiang Yi’s mouth. In his impression, Jiang Yi was an unpresentable person.

She was just an art student who had yet to graduate from university. She had no logical thinking and very little meticulous knowledge. Could it be that he would talk to her about Beethoven?

Fu Xiting glanced sideways at Jiang Yi, his eyes filled with shock.

He was silent for a moment before saying, “What does Miss Jiang want?”

“Asking Mr. Fu to let me go seems like a pipe dream.”

Fu Xiting nodded seriously. “Indeed.”

“I want to go to the negotiating venue between Dongting Group and the companies of the six states.” Jiang Yi looked at Fu Xiting. Her words were serious, and her obedient appearance was like a little white rabbit.

Little white rabbit?

Fu Xiting sneered in his heart. Why would Jiang Yi have anything to do with these words?

If she were a rabbit, it would be a highland rabbit with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

“Reason?” Fu Xiting’s tone was calm.

“I’ve always heard of it, but I’ve never seen it,” Jiang Yi gave a more normal-sounding reason.

Fu Xiting fell silent and did not pursue Jiang Yi’s true thoughts.

It was a yes.

What did Mr. Lu Xun say? If you want to open a window, you might as well start by saying you want to tear down the roof.

The car drove all the way to the club.

The two of them did not speak on the way.

When they got out of the car, Fu Xiting handed his arm over, and Jiang Yi took the opportunity to hold it.

This kind of auction was just hosted for people to buy things from rich businessmen.

Fu Xiting knew that there was a tiger in the mountains, but he still preferred to walk in the mountains.

Was he stupid?

Not at all.

Fu Xiting was not someone who would suffer losses.

“Chairman Fu, you’re here! Long time no see.”

The head of the translation department, Lin Qinghe, greeted Fu Xiting from afar.

Fu Xiting held Jiang Yi’s arm and walked over unhurriedly.

“Elder Lin.”

Lin Qinghe and Jiang Yi had met before, and the two of them had interacted quite a bit in their work.

Moreover, this interaction… was not a good feeling.

“I heard that something big happened at Capital University today?”

“This… Chairman Fu just got engaged and he already has a new lover? His fiancée won’t mind?”

Lin Qinghe wanted to get something out of Fu Xiting, but when he turned around and saw Jiang Yi, his pupils dilated as he stared at her in disbelief.

It was as if he had seen someone who shouldn’t be here.

Fu Xiting smiled. “As expected, nothing can be hidden from Elder Lin in the capital.”

Lin Qinghe laughed out loud. “President Fu, you’re too humble. Any commotion in the capital is controlled by you. Isn’t what we saw what you asked us to see?”

“You flatter me, you flatter me.” Fu Xiting smiled.

Jiang Yi stood beside him without saying a word, silently watching the two of them stab each other with their words.

They probably didn’t think that Jiang Yi was decent and didn’t take her to heart.

When the staff of the charity gala handed the auction book over, Fu Xiting handed it to Jiang Yi. “See if there’s anything you like.”

There had never been a shortage of people around Fu Xiting. Be it rich businessmen or politicians, they were all second-class existences around him.

In an era where money controlled the world, everything should be overturned and redone.

When everyone saw Fu Xiting pass the book to Jiang Yi, they looked at each other.

He was probably thinking about his new lover’s status.

The women who had appeared around Fu Xiting in the past could not be seen for the third time.

Men in the business world always changed women like clothes, let alone a top-notch tycoon like Fu Xiting.

Fu Xiting had been in the business world all these years. Every time he needed a female companion, he never lacked women by his side, but no one could say a fixed name.

This was also the reason why Lin Qinghe was only surprised for a moment and was no longer willing to say anything else.

Everyone’s sizing up gazes frenziedly shifted back and forth on Jiang Yi, but the person involved was extremely calm.

She did not care about the gazes of these people.

“Chairman Fu was frightened at Capital University today.”

“I’ve made you worry, Elder Lin.”

“When the news came out, everyone was shocked.”

“I was shocked at the scene too.”

“I heard that Chairman Fu’s fiancée was shocked?”

“The young lady was a little shocked.”

“Then Chairman Fu, you have to comfort her. I heard that the girl of the Jiang family is very timid.”

Fu Xiting and Lin Qinghe asked and answered questions, exchanging blows back and forth. Every word was filled with concern, but not a single sentence was necessarily sincere.

“Please take your seats.”

The host’s voice sounded in the venue.

The auctioneer was a middle-aged woman around 35 or 36 years old. She had a mature charm.

Jiang Yi sat beside Fu Xiting and looked at the stage indifferently.

Fu Xiting thought that Jiang Yi would say something, but she did not.

She seemed to have experienced everything that had just happened and the scene in front of her hundreds of times before, so nothing made her feel uncomfortable.

Fu Xiting had a strange feeling about Jiang Yi.

It was a feeling between familiar and unfamiliar.

“Today, the first item of our auction is an emerald from Mr. Lin Qinghe. Let’s invite Mr. Lin to the stage.”

Jiang Yi was extremely silent. She raised her hand and clapped slowly with the crowd. The coldness on her face made it impossible to see any flaws.

“Hello, my friends. I’m Lin Qinghe. The item I’m auctioning today is an emerald from the Republic of China era. This emerald is a gift from my friend. I’m sure everyone present has heard of it. The donor is the international negotiator, Jiang Fu. The reason why I’m auctioning it today is because Negotiator Jiang told me before she died that she wanted to donate money to a welfare institute in Lindao. Today, I’m auctioning it. The Red Cross will take over the donation and build a new welfare institute for Lindao County.”

As soon as Lin Qinghe finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

Jiang Yi sat beside Fu Xiting. She didn’t look any different, but her straight back betrayed her.

It was true that she had given this emerald to him, and she had really mentioned the incident in Lindao County.

However, Lin Qinghe had brazenly found a reason to auction off her gift when she had just passed away. Was it just to reminisce about her?

Jiang Yi thought that it was not necessarily the case.

“The starting price is two million.”

The people around her raised their signs one after another, but Jiang Yi remained as steady as a mountain.

When the price was almost six million, Jiang Yi slowly raised her card. “Seven million.”

The scene was silent, followed by an uproar.

It was just an emerald. It was far from being worth seven million. Everyone raised their signs one after another just to give Lin Qinghe face.

At this moment, the person beside Fu Xiting raised seven million yuan.

Without a doubt, it was equivalent to Fu Xiting raising his own card.

In an instant, the venue fell silent.

“Seven million going once.”

“Seven million going twice.”

“7,100,000.” A man’s steady voice came from behind, and Jiang Yi trembled.

Her hair stood on end.

She froze.

When the winner was about to be confirmed, Fu Xiting pinched her waist.
