The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Anyway, that's what Miss Bai Qianye was thinking too. She wanted to use her position at the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce to avoid suspicion, and in return, she wanted to use her to increase her own visibility. It wasn't too much to ask, was it?

So he took out a gleaming gold badge, which was the emblem of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce: a golden dragon coiled on a mountaintop with its head raised.

"Miss, you see we're all in the same uniform, but you have nothing to match, it's really..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Jinxuan used her telekinesis to retrieve the badge and hang it on her hood.

The weight of the badge caused the front of the hood to droop slightly, making it harder for others to see her face clearly.

"Can we go now?"

The icy female voice rang out, sending a chill down the spines of everyone present.

"Of course, please."

Long Jinming smiled, pointed out the direction to Bai Jinxuan, and then took a few steps back to follow behind her.

This move surprised even the organizers responsible for maintaining the entrance passage. The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, if not the strongest, was at least a behemoth with considerable influence.

Who is it that has the power to make it willingly act like a dog in front of so many people?

Jinlong, where's the dragon?! How did it become a woman's pet? Judging from the voice, it's such a young woman!

After thinking about it for a moment, they were drenched in sweat.

The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce is really well hidden!

　Beneath the hood, Bai Jinxuan pursed her lips and shouted in her heart.

Putting aside the fact that I'm being given badges, do you expect me to be in the center position?

Okay, okay, you better not regret it later. When you're out in the world, you have to give yourself your own identity.

If you want to cower and elevate yourself, then I'll accept it. Today I am the Jade Emperor, and at worst I'll just give up the identity of Bai Qianye!

With a gloomy face and her chest held high, she led all the members of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce into the main venue with an aura of dominance over all others.

With such blatant identity verification, the hard-earned admission ticket is practically useless.

The staff didn't dare to check Bai Jinxuan's ticket, and just let them enter the main venue.

As she entered the venue, the entire space suddenly opened up.

Contrary to her expectations, the main venue of the auction was not like the No. 5 Middle School playground or the union arena, where the middle was low and the surrounding seats were high.

Conversely, the central booth here is very high, while the seats on both sides are much lower.

This design is likely intended to allow viewers to better see the items displayed on the stand.

Bai Jinxuan continued to scan the room and then realized that almost everyone was looking at her.

Come again.

To be honest, Bai Jinxuan had gotten used to it; there was nothing she could do about being in the limelight.

It's worth mentioning that among these gazes filled with various emotions, she spotted several familiar figures.

Tong family, Tong Yishan.

She was dressed in a fiery red robe and sat at the head of the line. Behind her was a burly man with gray hair. The two of them looked at her with serious expressions, seemingly talking about something.

The Qian family, Qian Wanyu.

Unlike her demeanor at school, Qian Wanyu was now dressed in a gorgeous gold gown, looking extremely glamorous and eye-catching.

Beside her were a middle-aged man and woman, both dressed in equally distinguished manners, and their gazes toward her were tinged with hostility.

Qian Wanyu herself didn't even bother to glance at it—her gaze remained fixed on the table.

Besides them, several of the female classmates who had treated Qian Wanyu to dinner were also here.

Although it seemed like they were reunited, it was a very cruel scene for them.

"Miss, please come this way."

At this moment, Long Jinming continued to point out the direction to Bai Jinxuan.

So she looked away and led all the members of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce to their seats.

As expected, she was the chief, and Long Jinming, the president of the chamber of commerce, sat behind her, becoming the second-in-command.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan simply let go of herself. As soon as she sat down, she put her right leg over her left thigh, leaned her elbow on the armrest, and lazily propped her chin up with her fingertips, looking as if she didn't care about anyone present.

Such a rude act caused the various families on the other side to twitch their eyebrows, and even Qian Wanyu's face darkened.

But to Bai Jinxuan's surprise, Tong Yishan, the little girl who was always blushing, was surprisingly calm at this moment.

She was like a true leader, the future of the Tong family. With a slight gesture, the adults behind her shut their mouths.

Heh... Tong Yishan, no wonder you wanted to recruit me into your Tong Family Army so much. You must have been interested in how efficiently I could earn credits, right?

Unfortunately, I never act as someone else's pawn.

Bai Jinxuan smiled slightly.

Because I am the one holding the reins.

Volume 1: Chapter 121: The Girl Without Information

Tong Yishan was in a bad mood. She knew what this auction meant for the family circle. That's why she felt a strong sense of crisis when she saw that the leader of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce was a complete stranger.

How many ancient demons like these have suddenly surfaced?

What will be the fate of the Tong family in this confrontation?

While he was pondering, someone behind him was already investigating the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce without stopping. The result was unsurprising: there was zero information about the young lady from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

Even after inquiring with the families involved in the partnership, their intelligence network showed a record of 0.

For these leaders in the Upper District, '0' is terrifying. They can find out how much food and water most people eat and drink every day if they want to.

As for other company executives, it's not that they can't be found out, but that they can't be found out. As long as you have the authority, you can find out exactly what they did.

But now, a conspicuous presence has suddenly appeared at the auction, as if it were an invisible person.

She was so arrogant, yet so at ease.

Where do they come from? What are their capabilities? What is their background? Are they financially well-off...? Do they pose a threat to me?

I know absolutely nothing about anything.

Fear spread throughout the entire venue.

When she saw that others were also showing the same expression, Tong Yishan's panic lessened slightly, but she began to worry.

The situation is starting to become more complicated.

“A new force has arrived; it’s the Long family.”

Behind her, her father's words made Tong Yishan tense up, and she looked toward the entrance.

A group of men in pristine white suits stood with their hands in their pockets, pulled out admission tickets, and casually tossed them aside, scattering them like flower petals at the entrance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am Long Lan."

The man in the suit at the head of the group smirked, his loud voice echoing throughout the hall: "Excuse me, where is my seat?"

Meanwhile, the organizers' staff didn't dare to interrupt.

Because Long Lan clearly indicated the audience for the question—ladies and gentlemen.

He was asking the other factions who were already seated in the hall, as if they were his vassals, his servants, his 'staff'.

"..."

The scene fell silent.

Bai Jinxuan then adjusted her legs, changing to a more comfortable sitting position.

Just then, the head of a medium-sized enterprise stood up and respectfully replied, "Mr. Long Lan, it's about 500 meters to your left at the eleven o'clock position."

"Hahahaha... Thank you, young man!"

Long Lan laughed heartily, waved his hand, and a large group of people followed him forward.

"The Long family... Long Jinming... The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce seems to have broken away from the Long family, right?"

Seeing that they were trying to intimidate her right away, Bai Jinxuan turned to the side and asked the person behind her.

Soon, Long Jinming lowered his voice and replied, "Yes, so many years have passed, and Long Lan is still the same..."

Bai Jinxuan smiled with interest: "Did your family treat you badly?"

"Not really, it's just a difference in our philosophies."

Long Jinming waved his hand, indicating that the topic was not interesting, and then he whispered a few more words of advice.

Simply put, they felt they had performed well, so they slipped some money to others, made grand promises, and then had themselves submit a bid on behalf of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

Bai Jinxuan's response was also very direct. Without much talk, she immediately demanded 5 million. If the buyer did not accept, she would remain silent for the entire time and immediately switch jobs after the auction.

This startled Long Jinming, who agreed with a wry smile without thinking.

You want to be the boss and still have a choice? Hmph, I'll beat you to death!

Bai Jinxuan scanned the venue, which was roughly divided into three categories.

Family, large corporation, joint chamber of commerce.

Actually

Strictly speaking, there are only two categories of them: older families and younger, emerging business circles that cooperate with each other.

The large enterprises in the middle are not very old or powerful, but they do not band together like chambers of commerce; they have their own solid foundation.

It's the kind of thing that doesn't have a huge impact, but if it were to disappear, it would cause considerable trouble for the family and the business association.

The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce is situated between large enterprises and top-tier chambers of commerce.

The reason it took the risk of promoting Bai Jinxuan was to gain a foothold, compete for market dominance, and make Jinlong's brand famous and well-known, so that the family and other large enterprises would recognize Jinlong Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce can rise to the ranks of large enterprises and maximize the potential of its complete industrial chain.

Ambition is not small.

Having grasped this point, Bai Jinxuan gained a completely new perspective on the format of auctions.

No wonder the families reacted so strongly to my appearance; they were afraid that the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce was too big and would affect their business.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. Our auction is about to begin!"

While Bai Jinxuan was pondering, a new movement took place on the exhibition stage.

A glamorous woman with a stunning figure walked onto the stage, and the entire venue's color scheme changed abruptly the moment she opened her mouth.

The scene was somewhat similar to the talent show Yao Yao attended at No. 2 Middle School, but this time the intensity was obviously much greater than Yao Yao's.

A 7th-tier mage? Or perhaps an 8th-tier mage? Is someone like that just a host...?

Bai Jinxuan's gloom deepened. It was hard to imagine that someone who had just passed the Level 3 Exploration Certificate exam could stand in such a high position.

If a fight breaks out, she'll be dead in an instant.

But that's where the problem lies. This is an auction. So what if you're only level 3? You wouldn't dare to act recklessly even if you were level 8!

Mystery is his greatest asset.

Bai Qianye has never existed in this world before. She is like a newborn baby, and no one can find out anything about her.

As she pondered, a magical ripple quietly spread out.

The main venue transformed into a magnificent palace. On the platform, a seasoned and beautiful magician channeled her magic, and four glittering golden pillars supported a piece of red silk, which slowly rose from beneath the platform.

"Snapped!"

The lights suddenly went out, and the whole world's attention was focused on that red cloth.

"The first weapon to be presented is the Dragon Abyss, forged by the renowned weapon-making master, Tong Gongzhuo, over several years!"

The host's loud voice stirred the emotions of the audience.

As expected of a large-scale event, they started with such a heavyweight treasure. This trip was definitely worthwhile.

Similar ideas spread among the people.
