I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

A dozen minutes later.

A black Maybach was parked in front of the clinic.

The driver's side door opened, and a young woman got out and opened the back door.

"Mr. Chen, please get in the car!" the woman said respectfully.

She was Lin Qingyin's assistant, surnamed Zhou. She had short hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, and a neat white shirt, and looked very refined.

"Um!"

Chen Mo got into the car.

Lin Qingyin sat in the back row, her hair draped over her shoulders, wearing light makeup, and looking radiant.

After Chen Mo got into the car, she reached out and put her arm around Chen Mo's arm.

"Are you hot? Should we turn the air conditioning down a bit?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "No need, it's perfect!"

"Okay!"

Assistant Zhou glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but marvel.

Is this still the same stern and unsmiling boss?

At the company, Lin Qingyin was an absolute dictator queen, showing no mercy to anyone.

Now look what's happened.

She leaned on the man's shoulder, her voice sweet and cloying, like cotton candy, and even asked him if he was hot.

That's really rare!

Chen Mo, unaware of his assistant's thoughts, turned to Lin Qingyin and asked, "What kind of auction is this?"

Lin Qingyin leaned on his shoulder, tracing circles on the back of his hand with her fingers, and said upon hearing this:

"The company needs funding, but there's one investor who's very difficult to work with. I've sent people to contact him several times, but we haven't been able to close the deal!"

"I found out that the investor likes gambling on jade and collecting antiques, and he will be attending this private auction today."

Chen Mo frowned: "What can I do?"

He's just a doctor, not good at business negotiations or anything like that, so he probably wouldn't be of much help if he went.

Lin Qingyin smiled, a sly glint in her eyes: "Just show off your talents, and I'll take care of the rest!"

[Ding! Main quest triggered: Private Auction]

[Mission Objective: Assist Lin Qingyin in securing investors and completing this financing round]

[Task Rewards: Lin Qingyin's Favorability +1, Free Attribute Points x4, Heavenly Voice]

Chen Mo looked at the rewards on the system panel and his heart stirred slightly. Heavenly music?

Does this mean he should go into singing in the future?

Singing... Chen Mo wasn't very interested, but who could resist a good singing voice?

"Leave it to me!"

Lin Qingyin glanced at him with a sweet smile.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the underground parking lot of the Da'an International Conference Center.

At first glance, the parked cars are all more eye-catching than the last.

Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, and several limited-edition supercars that Chen Mo couldn't name.

Assistant Zhou found an empty space, parked the car, and turned off the engine.

Lin Qingyin took Chen Mo's arm and got out of the car.

Before coming here, the two went home and changed their clothes.

Lin Qingyin wore a Chanel haute couture little black dress.

Her hair was styled in an updo, revealing a section of her fair neck, adorned with a pearl necklace that gleamed with a warm and gentle light.

Chen Mo wore a dark gray suit, which was well-tailored and made him look much taller.

He was already good-looking, standing at 1.82 meters tall with regular features, and wearing a suit made him look even more distinguished.

The two took the elevator to the first floor. Several security guards in black suits, wearing headsets, stood at the entrance of the lobby with serious expressions.

A hostess in a cheongsam approached them with a sweet smile, bowed slightly, and gestured for them to enter.

Today's auction will be held in the Golden Hall on the third floor.

The hall can accommodate hundreds of people, and crystal chandeliers hang from the dome, casting a dazzling light.

Rows of red velvet seats are neatly arranged.

In front of us was an auction table covered with a white tablecloth.

The hall is flanked by tea break areas, where exquisite pastries and champagne are served, and neatly dressed waiters carry trays as they move about.

The hall was already filled with guests, the men dressed in suits and the women adorned with jewels.

Chen Mo looked at the guests and saw many familiar faces.

For example, a female celebrity often seen in TV dramas is seen arm in arm with a middle-aged man with a large belly, laughing heartily.

Another is a well-known local real estate developer who just made it onto the Forbes rich list last year and is wearing a custom-made Armani.

He was accompanied by two bodyguards and walked with a confident stride.

Lin Qingyin took Chen Mo's arm and whispered as she introduced him to him:

"That man in the white suit is Mr. Sun, the CEO of Hengda Real Estate, with a net worth of over 30 billion!"

"The woman next to him in the red cheongsam is his sixth wife; she used to be a model!"

"That bald guy is Chow Tai Fook's regional president, surnamed Li, who is in charge of the jewelry business!"

"The young man next to him is his son; he just returned from studying in England!"

As the two were talking, a middle-aged man in a royal blue suit walked over with a glass of champagne and a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin! Long time no see! Qingyin Capital's recent healthcare fund is performing very well; I've been keeping an eye on it!"

Lin Qingyin smiled slightly and clinked glasses with the other person:

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind! Your China Overseas Capital is truly impressive. That new energy project last year, it must have tripled in value, right?"

Mr. Wang laughed heartily, his gaze falling on Chen Mo: "Mr. Lin, who is this...?"

Lin Qingyin tightened her grip on Chen Mo's arm and introduced him with pride, "This is my husband, Chen Mo!"

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise on his face, as he looked Chen Mo up and down: "President Lin is actually married..."

Next.

Several more people came over and greeted Lin Qingyin.

Banks, securities firms, private equity funds...

They are all prominent figures in the Da'an business community.

Lin Qingyin responded to each question with composure and confidence, handling the situation with ease.

Whenever someone asks about Chen Mo, she will take the initiative to introduce him, her words filled with undisguised pride and protectiveness.

This made many people secretly suspicious, and they all inquired about Chen Mo's identity in private.

"I'm a little tired, let's sit down!"

Lin Qingyin said.

"good!"

Chen Mo and Lin Qingyin found a seat near the front.

Just as I sat down, a familiar voice came from behind me: "Qingyin? Long time no see!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man in a dark blue suit walked over. He had handsome features, but his eyes held a gloomy look.

It's Zhao Yu!

"The one surnamed Chen!"

Zhao Yu's eyes were fierce: "Last time at the riding stables, they left me there unattended, and I almost ruined this leg!"

"You just wait! This is absolutely not over! One day, I'll make you pay!"

Chen Mo retorted sarcastically, "I haven't heard from you in so long, I thought you'd died of a leg infection!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu's face immediately darkened.

"Fine, you've got guts! I'll see what you're capable of at the auction later!"

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he sat down in the front row, not far from Chen Mo.

Lin Qingyin held Chen Mo's hand and whispered, "It's not worth getting angry over someone like him!"

Chen Mo patted the back of her hand: "It's just a dog, it's not worth making me angry!"
