Chapter 1917: VIPs appear

At this very moment, inside the banquet hall.

The venue with more than 400 people was not noisy at all, but instead achieved absolute silence.

There were 200 formal participants in the auction here, as well as 200 accompanying personnel, and 10 candidates ready to substitute at any time.

Among them, many people saw familiar figures, but because the venue had strict disciplinary requirements, even if they saw their acquaintances, they could only signal with their eyes and nods, while maintaining absolute silence.

Watching the electronic clock hanging on the wall, the time had reached 7:40. Everyone was somewhat impatient. Twenty minutes later, the auction would officially begin, and twenty minutes later, a fierce battle between money and money would officially kick off!

Just at this moment, the entrance of the venue opened, and a beautiful woman wearing a white silk cheongsam stepped into the venue.

Her appearance made the scene let out a gasp.

Even these top wealthy people who had seen the world rarely had the opportunity to see such a stunning Oriental beauty.

And this woman with unparalleled Oriental temperament was the chairman of the Song Group, Song Wanting.

Song Wanting, who was originally somewhat nervous, felt her heart completely enlightened after Ye Chen's guidance.

She walked into the banquet hall with confident steps, crossed the red carpet between the left and right seats, and stepped onto the auction stage.

Everyone's eyes followed her figure and followed her onto the auction stage.

Subsequently, Song Wanting stood in front of the microphone and smiled very dignifiedly at the microphone, "Welcome everyone for coming from afar to participate in the first Rejuvenation Pill auction. I am Song Wanting, chairman of the Song Group."

The audience instantly erupted into thunderous applause.

These people had waited too long and suppressed too long. Now that they could finally make some noise in a justified way, they were naturally extra energetic.

After the applause that lasted for a long time, Song Wanting nodded to express her gratitude and continued, "Tonight's auction is co-hosted by Jiqingtang of the Song Group and Buckingham Palace Hotel of the Ye Group. And I will also serve as the auctioneer tonight, providing guidance and help related to the auction for everyone throughout the process."

Speaking of this, Song Wanting paused slightly, and then continued, "Before tonight's auction officially begins, first, please use warm applause to welcome our three VIPs today!"

These people participating in the auction didn't know the relevant arrangements of the organizer, so the vast majority of people didn't know that there were VIPs in the auction tonight.

At this time, only Song Wanting opened her mouth to introduce, "The first VIP is the recently abdicated Empress of Northern Europe, the respected Ms. Victoria Iliad!"

Outside the entrance, the old Empress was pacing back and forth nervously.

Standing beside her were Ye Zhongquan, the head of the Ye family, and the Feng Shui master Lai Qinghua.

Ye Zhongquan and Lai Qinghua were naturally old acquaintances. They had only met here, and originally both sides had a lot to say, but precisely because the old Empress was beside them, so apart from greeting each other, they didn't have too much communication.

At this time, the old Empress heard Song Wanting call her name, hurriedly stood still, gently stroked her chest, took a few deep breaths, and then mustered the courage to step into the banquet hall.

Although the old Empress had a very high social status in Europe, for the wealthy people in North America, the Middle East, and Asia, she was nothing more than a poor old lady with an empty noble title. So, a very interesting scene appeared on the scene: many nobles and wealthy people from Europe stood up and bowed slightly to show respect when they saw the old Empress, but the rest of the people showed disdain one by one.

Just when the old Empress entered, Ye Zhongquan outside the door said respectfully to Lai Qinghua, "Old Mr. Lai, we finally meet again!"

Lai Qinghua nodded and said very politely and respectfully, "How have you been, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Zhongquan smiled slightly, "There were some situations a while ago, which made me feel overwhelmed. But after Chen'er returned to Yanjing, many troubles were solved. Thanks to him, the Ye family not only survived the crisis safely but also took this opportunity to further develop and grow. And this old bone of mine finally has the opportunity to retire and enjoy some peace, so I have been very comfortable recently." ===== CHAPTER 1918 =====
