The World Treasures Auction House, which was said to never close, was brightly lit and dazzling tonight. The largest auction hall was already prepared, and people were coming and going at the door. It was very lively.

Chu Qing’s million-dollar car stood out like a beggar amidst a crowd of princes on the relatively short street. Its appearance was incredibly worn-out and shabby. Fortunately, Chu Qing possessed a resilient mindset and remained unaffected by the stark contrast.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, terror would have slipped away dejectedly. He would rather not do it than stand out and receive those disdainful gazes. When they arrived, Chu Qing drove the car into the World Treasures Auction House, where the internal staff parked.

Having gained a bit of prestige, the person with hidden intentions no longer underestimated Chu Qing. Yet, he couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters. Zhai Yu had already taken care of all the arrangements prior to his arrival. As Chu Qing parked his car in the designated area, a young man promptly approached him, ready to attend to his needs.

Chu Qing trailed behind the attendant as they led him to Zhai Yu. As he laid eyes on Zhai Yu, an unusual expression crossed his face. Zhai Yu was adorned in extravagant attire, with subtle makeup accentuating his features. His eyes gleamed brightly, his teeth were pristine, and his fingers were fair and slender. Zhai Yu truly embodied the image of a refined young master.

From the looks of it, it was probably impossible not to seduce those women. This family was determined to nurture Zhai Yu into a socialite.

Seeing that Zhai Yu was entertaining the distinguished guests of the World Treasures Auction House and was being taken advantage of by those women from time to time, Chu Qing couldn’t help but be overjoyed and gloat.

Zhai Yu wandered around with various women, his eyes filled with resentment. Chu Qing crossed his arms and leaned against the window. He couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

As Zhai Yu went about his duties, he couldn’t help but observe Chu Qing, whether intentionally or unintentionally. However, when he witnessed Chu Qing’s smirk, a surge of anger flushed his handsome face. This outcome was far from what he had desired, and it bothered him greatly.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhai Yu left and went straight to Chu Qing. After giving him a hug, he said, “You’re finally here.”

“The auction hasn’t started yet, right?” Chu Qing expressed that he wasn’t late, but how could he know what Zhai Yu was thinking?

“Of course, you’re not late. I urged you to come early because I wanted to introduce a few people to you. You said that you’re an unaffiliated martial artist, but martial artists can’t cultivate without resources. Human relations are also a type of resource. In the entire Jinmen City, is there anyone with more connections than me? Therefore, you’re lucky to know me,” Zhai Yu patted his chest and said.

Previously, the two of them had a hotpot meal and drank a lot of wine. After saying some heartfelt words, the two of them were already very close. Hence, Zhai Yu’s words were already very casual. He did not have any politeness at all and even started to brag.

Setting aside all other considerations, Chu Qing held no faith in Zhai Yu’s words. Despite Zhai Yu’s apparent enthusiasm, Chu Qing remained unfazed. He knew that in Zhai Yu’s eyes, he was not just an inexperienced high school student. Chu Qing was well aware of the hidden intentions behind Zhai Yu’s facade.

Prior to his arrival, Chu Qing was puzzled by Zhai Yu’s insistence and urgency. However, now that Zhai Yu had revealed so much information, Chu Qing couldn’t afford to remain oblivious. If he still failed to comprehend the situation at hand, it would be a waste of his existence.

Indeed, Zhai Yu had likely used the pretext of expanding their connections to draw support for himself. Not to mention other factors, Chu Qing’s innocent visage was just as appealing, if not more so, than Zhai Yu’s slightly embellished appearance.

With Chu Qing standing beside Zhai Yu, the pressure on Zhai Yu would be reduced by at least half. Knowing Zhai Yu’s thoughts, Chu Qing would not agree to such a thing. He was not stupid.

“Sigh, just help me with this once. Look, you’re already here. How about I don’t charge you a commission for the things you sent for auction? If you still have things to auction in the future, I’ll also waive your commission.” Seeing that Chu Qing was not easy to fool, Zhai Yu immediately tried to persuade him.

Chu Qing found himself being pulled towards the entrance of the hall by Zhai Yu, feeling somewhat compelled to follow along. After all, he had naively believed that Zhai Yu was a good person. Besides, Zhai Yu was the first person of his age whom he genuinely liked in this world. Chu Qing desired to establish a friendship with Zhai Yu.

As Chu Qing exchanged pleasantries with a couple of groups, his frustration began to boil over. Standing in that place, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being treated like a streetwalker, waiting for customers to leer at him. Although Chu Qing didn’t actually feel like a streetwalker, the anger within him intensified greatly.

“I’m done with this.” After successfully dismissing a persistent wealthy woman, Chu Qing expressed his protest to Zhai Yu.

Zhai Yu maintained a forced smile on his face as he glanced around, disregarding Chu Qing’s words. It had taken considerable effort to secure Chu Qing’s presence for his purposes, and he couldn’t simply let him go that easily. Fine, you’re pretending not to see me, right?

Chu Qing turned around and walked away, leaving Zhai Yu behind.

This time, Zhai Yu grew anxious and resorted to playing another trump card. He whispered a name, causing Chu Qing to abruptly halt in his tracks and turn back around, intrigued by what he had heard..
