Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Seeing Chen Muchan's serious expression, Ye Chen spoke up solemnly, "4000 grams of gold, based on the current gold price, is worth over 300 million yuan, not including labor costs. Don't worry, I didn't write it down randomly, so you don't have to worry about being scolded!"

Chen Muyan felt dizzy; this was the highest-value donation she had received from alumni that day.

And she even knew this person!

Of course, this doesn't mean that the alumni of Binhai University are just a handful; it just means that the big shots haven't even arrived yet.

It's only a little past 9 o'clock now; the school anniversary ceremony won't officially start until 10 o'clock.

That's when the real highlight of the donation will begin!

Looking into Ye Chen's eyes, Chen Muyan ultimately chose to believe him.

"Senior Ye, wait here for a moment. I'm going to the alumni association office. The items you donated are too valuable, and I need to report it to the president!" With that, Chen Muyan ran off.

Ye Chen opened his mouth, but then shook his head.

Actually, they wanted to prevent Chen Muyan from having to report it.

But then I thought, they have their own jobs.

The school leaders will likely blame her for being immature.

Ye Chen didn't deliberately lower his voice, and Coco heard everything.

She stared at Ye Chen in shock.

I did catch a glimpse of the number 300 million on the form out of the corner of my eye!

"Senior Ye, do you...do you own a mine? You've donated so much!"

Ye Chen joked, "My family owns a gold mine, so I don't need any money!"

Coco's mouth was wide open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Looking at Ye Chen with eyes full of admiration, she thought, "Is this the legendary tall, rich, and handsome guy?!"

Ye Chen smiled and didn't continue teasing her. It was the first time he had met this girl, and they weren't familiar with each other.

Just then, several more alumni walked in, looking around.

Ye Chen whispered a reminder to Coco: "Someone's coming, what are you going to do!"

Coco only came to her senses and looked towards the door when she heard Ye Chen's voice.

"Hey seniors, come over here and sign in. The anniversary celebration ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. in the stadium with a capacity of 10,000. You can look around first!"

Coco recited her lines fluently.

The group consisted of two men and two women, all likely around 30 years old.

The men, one in a black suit and the other in a white one, looked like business elites.

The women were also dressed maturely, one in a business skirt and the other in a knee-length cheongsam, possessing a unique beauty characteristic of women of this age.

They stopped in front of Ye Chen and Coco's table.

The two senior students picked up their pens and started filling them out!

Ye Chen stood quietly to one side, like a transparent volunteer.

The two senior students quickly signed in, and also helped the girls sign in.

The senior in the white suit cleared his throat lightly: "Excuse me, if we'd like to make a donation, how do we do it?"

"Oh, a donation? I wonder how much you're going to donate!" Coco smiled and looked at the group.

"I'll donate—I'll donate ten thousand!" the senior in the white suit said after a moment's thought.

"Then I'll donate 10,000 too!" the senior in the black suit chimed in.

Coco was delighted: "Okay, seniors, please register on this form. Also, this is the alumni foundation's payment code!"

Coco then placed a QR code on the table.

The senior in the white suit took the pen and started filling it out. As he filled it out, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! 300 million?"

The form he filled out had the same information that Ye Chen had filled out in the top column.

At his exclamation, the two female seniors and the male senior in the black suit all gathered around.

"What's wrong?" the senior in the professional skirt asked, puzzled.

"Look at this—" The senior in the white suit pointed to the column with 300 million.

"Hiss—300 million! Which genius senior donated so much!" The senior in the black suit also gasped.

"This looks like a junior, from our finance department, impressive!" The senior in the professional skirt exclaimed, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.

"No, look, this donated item is a painting, 'A Hundred Years of Golden Trees and People,' so its value is a bit inflated!" The woman in the cheongsam, who had examined the item more closely, pointed out the key issue.

Indeed, the value of calligraphy and paintings is often inflated.

Many paintings and calligraphy works have been hyped up.

For example, there are quite a few paintings that were originally worth tens of thousands of yuan at auctions but were then sold for millions of yuan.

With this kind of maneuvering, a certificate worth millions is now there, its price increasing several times over.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. Yes, there was indeed a lot of shoddy workmanship in calligraphy and painting.

Unless it's by a famous artist, its value is meaningless.

"However, since this junior Ye dared to put 300 million, it proves that the painting is not cheap, and it is at least the work of a well-known painter." The senior in the white suit pondered.

"Indeed, while this value may be inflated, it shouldn't be too outrageous. School leaders aren't stupid; they definitely won't fill it in randomly!" The senior in the black suit nodded.

"I really want to meet Ye, our junior from the Finance Department!" The senior in the professional skirt said with anticipation.

"Hehe, I'd like to see what kind of painting is worth 300 million. I've seen quite a few works by famous domestic artists!" The senior in the cheongsam smiled slightly.

Ye Chen, the person involved, stood in front of them, expressionless, but inwardly he was cursing!

What does it mean to have moisture content?

Do you guys even understand? In the "Golden Century Tree Cultivating People" story, gold is the key word!

Where did this inflated figure come from? Are you automatically ignoring keywords? That's outrageous!

Coco looked at the senior students and then at Ye Chen, feeling a little awkward, unsure of how to start the conversation.

In fact, she hadn't seen Ye Chen's painting yet, so she ultimately chose to remain silent.

The two senior students filled in the information and scanned the code to pay.

Donating 10,000 yuan is a considerable sum of money; many people can't even come up with 10,000 yuan on them these days.

At that moment, a man and a woman walked in through the door.

The man was dressed in a flamboyant floral suit, while the woman looked ethereal in a flowing dress.

Ye Chen spotted the person immediately, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

The visitors were Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan.

The two walked over hand in hand.

Coco saw them and smiled, "Seniors, please sign in here. The school anniversary ceremony will be held at the 10:00 AM stadium!"

Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan swayed and swaggered around, making quite a show of themselves.

Presumably because Ye Chen was wearing volunteer clothes, they didn't recognize him.

Ye Chen stood quietly, almost invisible, and was completely ignored!

But let's just ignore it; Ye Chen doesn't want to see that despicable couple.

Hurry up and sign in, then get lost; it's bad luck.

Zhang Zihao looked at Coco with his chin held high and said, "I want to donate money, but where do I donate?"

Upon hearing that someone else wanted to donate, Coco beamed and asked, "How much are you donating, senior?"

Zhang Zihao frowned: "Do I need to tell you how much I'm donating? Call the person in charge out; I'm donating a large amount!"

"This..." Coco hesitated, "Please forgive me, senior, but the school leaders are all very busy today, it's the school anniversary, and they can't get away! I'll report how much you want to donate!"

"So you're saying that if you donate less, you don't deserve to meet the school leaders?" Zhang Zihao sneered.
