The banquet hall upstairs had only two tables. Once the two individuals were seated, Ye Jue nodded slightly to the people downstairs, signaling that the dinner was about to officially begin.
"Esteemed guests, it's wonderful to see you again. Tonight's dinner is on Mr. Ye, so please enjoy yourselves," said Miss Chi, the same hostess from the previous auction. Her voice was crisp and melodious, like the song of a nightingale.
"While you dine, I will proudly introduce the most exciting item from this auction." Miss Chi's tone rose slightly, tantalizing everyone’s curiosity.
"The financing opportunity for a collaboration project with Ye Corporation."
As soon as Miss Chi finished speaking, the banquet hall erupted in a flurry of whispers and exclamations. The previously harmonious conversations were instantly drowned out by astonished gasps and excited discussions, as if a heavy bomb had been dropped into the space, causing it to explode with energy.
People leaned in close to one another, their eyes filled with surprise and desire. Their gazes became fervent and urgent, like flames eager to consume this news and transform it into motivation for their advancement.
This opportunity represented immense business prospects and substantial rewards. It was not merely a simple number or profit; it was a golden key to higher echelons and broader commercial landscapes. Moreover, collaborating with Ye Corporation meant sharing its vast network of resources. Ye Corporation held a significant position in the industry; its years of accumulated connections, channels, advanced technology, and management experience were like hidden treasures. Once a partnership was formed, it would open the door to wealth and development.
For those eager to break through their current circumstances and pursue greater achievements for their enterprises or themselves, this collaboration opportunity was nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
In the banquet hall, some individuals were flushed with excitement as they fervently discussed potential collaboration plans with their companions; others furrowed their brows, silently calculating their own strengths and advantages; while still others had determined looks in their eyes, seemingly resolved to give their all in this competition for the coveted partnership.
Chi Mu Jiu suddenly realized that the previous auction was merely an appetizer; the true highlight of this evening's banquet lay in the items up for bid. The Ye family was seeking a genuine partner for collaboration—anyone with money and power would do.
Using their qualifications as a partner for bidding was indeed a bold move. Chi Mu Jiu couldn't help but admire the Ye family's business acumen. Bidders were not merely interested in trifles; anyone who could establish a connection with the Ye family would undoubtedly elevate their status several levels within the business community.
Chi Mu Jiu understood the stakes involved. If she could secure this opportunity, then Chi Qi Yun and her malicious mother would no longer be able to covet the Chi family's assets. She needed to obtain this qualification to have leverage in negotiations with her family. It must be said that she felt tempted.
However, as she surveyed her surroundings and saw numerous wealthy and powerful competitors, a hint of worry crept into her heart. With her limited funds, she feared it might not be enough to place the highest bid.
This auction employed a secret bidding process where esteemed guests could anonymously bid on an electronic screen before them. The highest bidder would win!
Miss Chi's voice rang out once more.
"Dear guests, you have a limited time of minutes; don't miss this opportunity."
Her words were like the beating of war drums, urging everyone present to heighten their senses, instantly transforming the atmosphere of the banquet hall into one of tension and intensity.
Chi Mu Jiu instinctively glanced at Du Heng Yan beside her, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and hesitation. That gaze seemed to carry a thousand unspoken words, reflecting both her desire to compete in the auction and her anxiety about potential failure.
Du Heng Yan picked up a piece of beef from her plate, and in just a short while, the numbers on the electronic screen had already soared to billions, continuing to rise rapidly.
Before she could voice her thoughts, Du Heng Yan had already sensed what was on her mind.
"I know. You enjoy your meal; leave the spending to me."
He spoke calmly, his tone steady yet powerful. His actions with the electronic screen allowed Chi Mu Jiu's previously taut nerves to relax slightly. She obediently continued eating, refraining from further conversation.
Yet, she couldn't help but occasionally steal glances at Du Heng Yan.
