Chapter 43

Early the next morning, Ye Feng got up early, made breakfast and medicine for his mother Shen Yurou, and only after watching her finish eating did he feel relieved to go out.

He rushed directly to Renyang Great Pharmacy, his heart full of anticipation for the upcoming auction and the Millennium Ginseng!

With the Millennium Ginseng, his mother's illness could be completely cured!

Arriving at Renyang Great Pharmacy, Qi Ruoxue saw Ye Feng arrive so early and a hint of surprise appeared on her face: "Ye Feng, why did you come so early? The auction hasn't started yet."

Ye Feng smiled, his face full of anticipation: "Ruoxue, I was afraid of being delayed, so I came early. How are things prepared on your side?"

Qi Ruoxue nodded, her tone carrying a hint of busyness: "I'm still organizing some materials. You sit for a while, and we'll set off once I'm done."

Ye Feng nodded and sat in the pharmacy's rest area, waiting patiently.

Not long after, Qi Ruoxue's grandfather, Qi Jingfu, also walked out from the inner room. Seeing Ye Feng, he greeted him with a smile: "Little brother Ye, you've come quite early."

Ye Feng stood up and said respectfully: "Grandpa Qi, good morning. I was afraid of being delayed, so I came early."

Qi Jingfu nodded, his tone carrying a hint of approval: "Young man, it's good to have this heart!"

"Today's auction is very important, and the medicinal materials you want will also appear. We must be well prepared."

"In addition, I heard that a very mysterious auction item will appear, and people from all major families have come. You must be careful and never offend anyone!"

Ye Feng nodded, his tone firm: "Grandpa Qi, don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"

After Qi Ruoxue finished her work, she walked to Ye Feng and Qi Jingfu, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness: "Ye Feng, Grandpa, we should set off."

"But before we go, I have to tell you about the precautions for the auction."

She took out a document, handed it to Ye Feng and Qi Jingfu, and said seriously: "Today's auction is hosted by Tianhai Auction House. The people attending are either rich or noble, and the competition will be very fierce!"

"The medicinal materials we want are not particularly rare, but they aren't cheap either. Ye Feng, what is your budget?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of caution: "I have prepared five hundred thousand. I don't know if it's enough."

Qi Ruoxue frowned, her tone carrying a hint of worry: "Five hundred thousand is definitely not enough. But it doesn't matter, my grandfather will take action!"

Qi Jingfu also nodded, his tone carrying a hint of comfort: "Little brother, don't worry, the Lei family will also send people, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Ye Feng nodded, his heart settling somewhat.

Qi Ruoxue continued: "In addition, there are some rules at the auction that you need to pay attention to!"

"For example, be decisive when raising your paddle, but don't blindly increase the price. If the price exceeds the budget, don't force it!"

"Also, some people at the auction might deliberately raise the price, so we must be careful."

Ye Feng listened carefully and kept every word of Qi Ruoxue's in his heart.

After explaining the precautions, Qi Ruoxue checked the time and said: "Alright, it's about time, let's set off."

The three of them got into Qi Ruoxue's car and drove toward the auction venue.

Along the way, Ye Feng's mood was somewhat nervous. He knew that today's auction was very important to him and his mother; it concerned his mother's life!"

Arriving at the auction venue, Ye Feng was shocked by the scene before him.

The auction was held in a banquet hall of a luxury hotel. The hall was decorated magnificently, and the people attending the auction were all dressed brightly and had a strong aura.

Qi Ruoxue said to Ye Feng in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, just follow us."

Ye Feng nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Qi Ruoxue and Qi Jingfu into the auction hall.

As soon as he entered the auction hall, Ye Feng saw an acquaintance wearing a white dress—Lei Qianqian!

Lei Qianqian seemed to have seen them too, ran over in small steps, and shouted: "Benefactor, you're finally here!"

Ye Feng greeted her with a smile and asked: "Is your grandmother okay now!"

Lei Qianqian said with a smile: "Thanks to the benefactor, she's much better!"

At this moment, Qi Jingfu, seeing that everyone had basically arrived, said: "Since everyone is here, you go find a place to sit. I'll go find some old friends to catch up."

After speaking, he walked away on his own.

The three nodded and found seats at random, preparing to sit down.

At this moment, a young man wearing a black suit walked toward the three of them.

Ye Feng frowned. This man was none other than the new president of Tianhai Technology Group—Li Zongsheng!

Seeing Ye Feng surrounded by two stunning beauties, Li Zongsheng mocked: "You're quite lucky with women!"

Ye Feng frowned again, but he didn't pay attention to Li Zongsheng.

Seeing Ye Feng didn't pay attention to him, Li Zongsheng seemed a bit annoyed. He said to Qi Ruoxue and Lei Qianqian beside him: "Two beauties, I am Li Zongsheng, president of Tianhai Technology Group. I advise you to stay away from him; this person is no good!"

Hearing this, Qi Ruoxue and Lei Qianqian were instantly somewhat angry. They spoke at the same time, in unison: "None of your business!"

Seeing the two were somewhat angry, Li Zongsheng hurriedly said: "Two beauties, don't be angry, I'm just stating a fact!"

Lei Qianqian frowned: "Anything else!"

Li Zongsheng said with a smile: "Nothing else. If possible, I would like to invite the two beauties to go to the VIP lounge over there with me!"

As he said this, he inadvertently revealed his Rolex watch.

Seeing this scene, the two's disgust grew even stronger. Qi Ruoxue said coldly: "If there's nothing else, get lost, don't be an eyesore here!"

Hearing this, Li Zongsheng stopped pretending and said coldly: "Ignorant of what's good for you!"

"Ye Feng, you just wait!"

After speaking, he turned and left directly.

After Li Zongsheng left, the three sat down.

Qi Ruoxue looked at Ye Feng and asked: "Ye Feng, do you have a grudge against that idiot?"

Ye Feng frowned and said: "Perhaps!"

At this moment, the lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and a melodious piece of music rang out.

Immediately after, a stunning woman wearing a red cheongsam walked onto the stage.

Her figure was tall, her curves exquisite, and the slit of the cheongsam revealed a pair of slender, beautiful legs. Every step she took carried a soul-stirring charm.

Her appearance instantly attracted the attention of the entire hall, and even Ye Feng couldn't help but look twice.

Qi Ruoxue said in Ye Feng's ear in a low voice: "This is the auction host, her name is Ouyang Mei'er. She is from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and is a famous socialite in Tianhai!"

Ye Feng nodded, his gaze still lingering on Ouyang Mei'er.

Ouyang Mei'er walked to the center of the stage, smiled slightly, and her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the auction hosted by the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce!"

"Today's auction items are all treasures carefully selected. I believe they will definitely satisfy everyone!"

Her voice carried a kind of magic, instantly making the entire hall quiet down.

Ouyang Mei'er continued: "Before the auction begins, I will briefly introduce the rules."

"Each bid increase must not be less than ten thousand. Raising the paddle is considered a valid bid. After the auction ends, please go to the backstage to handle the settlement procedures."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the entire hall, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a charming smile: "Then, without further ado, the auction begins now!"
