Chapter 294: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,419 words

It's 9 a. m. on the 6th.

The auction hall on the second floor of Tanglin Plaza.

Before the time arrived, the auction hall was already full of people.

The hall was abuzz with discussion.

From their accents, one could tell most were speaking Cantonese.

These are the wealthy from Xiangjiang and coastal areas.

There are also quite a few foreigners.

Most people were discussing the authenticity of the jade seal.

Also whether the price of one hundred million US dollars is reasonable.

Many people's tones carried teasing.

A tiny seal, with a starting price of one hundred million US dollars—this is simply more impressive than Mi Guo's money-printing machine.

Zhu Li and Wen Keke were both sitting to Lin Feng's right, and Wen Keke's right side was the aisle.

Zhu Li and Wen Keke were talking about going home for the New Year.

Wen Keke naturally would go home.

Her younger brother Wen Zhu'er had already gone back.

Rumor has it he brought back a girlfriend, planning to get married.

Zhu Li's family situation is relatively simple.

Lin Feng was still hearing Zhu Li mention her family matters for the first time.

Her parents divorced, each having formed their own families.

Her grandparents on both sides have also passed away.

Her relationship with her parents isn't that cold; they often call each other.

In the past, living and schooling expenses were split evenly by her parents.

Her stepmother and stepfather are also relatively polite toward her.

So, going home isn't particularly meaningful.

"Keke, since I don't have a husband to accompany me, I might as well spend New Year at your place and treat your parents as my godparents."

Zhu Li said this, giving Lin Feng a resentful glance.

Lin Feng crossed his arms, pretending not to have heard.

Good!

Wen Keke agreed.

Zhu Li also said: "There are two planes sitting at the airport gathering dust! This time we'll go back on a private jet!"

Saying that, she glanced at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng lightly said: "If you want to fly, just fly! I have no objection to flying to Mi Guo."

Zhu Li pouted and said: "I thought some people weren't listening to our conversation!"

Lin Feng turned his head, looking somewhat surprised at Zhu Li and Wen Keke.

He felt that the two's mood seemed a bit off.

It seemed like they were hiding something from him.

He had slept at Tang Mi's place last night, and only this morning did he summon Zhu Li and Wen Keke.

After finishing watching the auction, he spent the day accompanying the two.

In the evening he went to the Bei residence to see Bei Yiren.

Bei Yiren has been pregnant for four months already.

If he didn't go see her, he couldn't justify it.

It's estimated that Bei family patriarch Beixiongcheng is having a rough year.

Because Bei Yiren is carrying twins, both girls.

So, judging the baby's sex based on a pregnant woman's cravings has no scientific basis.

Lin Feng felt quite pleased inside.

Two little cotton jackets!

He definitely couldn't let Bei Yiren go bring two more small ones.

The three large ones have all become like that.

If he brings out two more idiots, Lin Feng will regret it to death.

When the time comes to visit, he'll also need to comfort the Bei patriarch.

In Bei Yiren's next batch, there might be a boy.

Lin Feng suddenly sighed.

The women around him are increasing, and in the future there will be even more children.

Perhaps in his children's eyes, he won't be a qualified father.

Because the time he spends alone with them won't be much.

So!

Their mothers need to be chosen well.

At least each one is excellent, and the children they raise will also be excellent.

His chaotic thoughts went through his mind once.

Lin Feng came to, furrowed his brow, and said: "Speak! What surprising news do you have to tell me?"

Zhu Li looked at Lin Feng with a surprised look.

This guy seems to have mind-reading.

Wen Keke, sitting at the outermost seat, lowered her head, both excited and a little nervous.

Zhu Li whispered in Lin Feng's ear: "Wen Keke is pregnant."

Lin Feng blinked and asked, "Is it mine or yours?"

Zhu Li rolled her eyes.

Lin Feng was obviously joking.

Because he was happy.

His heart was filled with joy.

Zhu Li, you and Wen Keke swap seats.

Lin Feng said.

Zhu Li and Wen Keke stood up and changed seats.

Wen Keke, when did this happen? How long has it been? Have you gotten a checkup?

Lin Feng held Wen Keke's hand and asked.

"It was the night of November 28th!"

Wen Keke replied.

Lin Feng calculated the time; it's been over two months.

No wonder Zhu Li said she wanted to adjust the flight back; there was a hint of taking credit in her words.

Lin Feng reached out and patted Zhu Li, saying, "You also deserve credit!"

Zhu Li laughed proudly, feeling no embarrassment at all.

Lin Feng also said to Wen Keke: "After the New Year, bring your parents over to live together! Wen Zhu's marriage on that side definitely won't work out—tell them not to worry about it."

Is this because a daughter-in-law, once she has a child, stops caring for her younger brother-in-law?

"Why?"

Wen Keke blinked and asked.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Your younger brother's girlfriend is a little star who's been hanging around in that circle for years."

Having said that, Lin Feng didn't continue.

It's not that he looks down on little stars, but Wen Zhu has gotten a bit full of himself lately.

Working in the entertainment department of Big Flag Media, many people know he's Lin Feng's brother-in-law.

This wasn't something he said himself—who else could it be?

Many people are trying to curry favor with Wen Zhu.

All that aside.

Actually, to chase that little star, he's abandoned his proper job.

He brings the little star in and even gets into fights.

It all ended up in the entertainment news.

Fortunately, neither of them is famous, so the heat of that entertainment news quickly died down.

After the New Year, Lin Feng plans to change Wen Zhu's job.

Still, just like before, follow the film crew and do odd jobs, run errands!

After a few more years, when he's older and sees things clearly, Lin Feng can give him a bright future.

If he doesn't see it, then that's all there is.

Wen Keke is no longer the clueless Wen Keke she used to be.

She quickly realized her younger brother might have made another mistake, and she couldn't help but frown.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle your brother's affairs; he's still young, and he can mend his ways after making mistakes."

Time's up, the auction host walked onto the stage.

After a brief introduction, an elderly professor was invited onto the stage.

With this elder guaranteeing the authenticity of the auction's seals, everyone believed they were genuine.

"Here I want to tell everyone, as a national treasure, this is the only batch of seals that have been passed down and can be sold; there will be no more after this, and they have high collection and investment value."

Each seal bears our Tanglin Company's anti-counterfeit mark……

First up for auction is the 100th Jade Seal, with a base price of 100 million USD, each bid must increase by at least one million; please start bidding.

After the host finished, someone immediately raised a paddle.

"One hundred million dollars!"

"I'll add one million!"

"I ten thousand!"

Finally, the seal numbered 100 was sold for 150 million USD.

Next, seals numbered 99 down to 2 were all sold for between 100 million and 150 million USD.

Because numbers 1 and 100 both have commemorative value.

Finally, it was the turn of the number 1 seal.

"Two hundred million!"

"Two hundred ten million!"

"Two hundred million ten thousand!"

After a round of bidding, the number 1 seal finally sold for one million USD.

After the auction, Lin Feng immediately pulled Wen Keke and Zhu Li and left the auction venue.

As soon as they stepped out, they received a text message.

One hundred chapter seals sold for a total of 13.227 billion US dollars!

After deducting taxes and the appearance fees paid to the professors, what ended up in his own pocket was just over 10 billion US dollars.
