When the people below the stage saw that it was Zhang Jun, they exclaimed.

“I didn’t expect the Zhang family to let Zhang Jun come.”

“That’s right. Even if we can’t successfully bid on anything, since we were able to see him with our own eyes, coming here was worth it!”

“I’m really excited to see Zhang Jun, the legend of the business world!”

Many people secretly made up their minds to perform well during the auction.

If they could get Zhang Jun’s approval and befriend him, not only would it be a matter of pride, but there would also be more benefits for them.

Hou Junlai and Liu Xin’er couldn’t sit still anymore.

Liu Xin’er didn’t expect the Zhang family to let Zhang Jun come.

Only Jian Xing’er remained calm.

When Zhang Jun saw Jian Xing’er, he smiled and nodded at her.

Liu Xin’er was sitting behind Jian Xing’er. Thinking that Zhang Jun was greeting her, she immediately stood up in surprise. Not knowing how to respond, she bowed.

After sitting down, Liu Xin’er looked very smug as she said, “I didn’t expect Zhang Jun to know me. It’s such an honor!”

Liu Xin’er looked at Hou Junlai smugly and said slowly, “Junlai, after this is over, I’ll talk to Zhang Jun about your company. I think he will give you the green light on my account.”

When Hou Junlai heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Hou Junlai said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Liu!”

Liu Xin’er said, “Junlai, there’s no need to be so polite. It makes it seem like we’re very distant. I told you last time not to call me Miss Liu. Call me Xin’er!”

Liu Xin’er looked at Hou Junlai gently. Hou Junlai fell silent, but eventually forced a smile.

Jian Xing’er suddenly looked at Shangguan Ding and asked, “Zhang Jun is also from the capital. Do you know him?”

Shangguan Ding’s eyes flickered as he said indifferently, “I don’t know him…”

“Who are you? Even someone like Zhang Jun greets you.”

Jian Xing’er smiled and said, “I’m just a useless daughter-in-law who was chased out of the Hou family. Don’t you know that?”

Of course, Shangguan Ding didn’t believe it.

Shangguan Ding guessed that Jian Xing’er was definitely not an ordinary person.

Shangguan Ding smiled and said, “It’s fine if you don’t tell me. I’ll eventually find out anyway. I’m even more interested in you now!”

Jian Xing’er remained silent.

Jian Xing’er didn’t care if Shangguan Ding was interested or not. She wasn’t interested in Shangguan Ding at all.

When that organization appeared, Jian Xing’er would get the clues she wanted and chase Shangguan Ding away.

Zhang Jun glanced at everyone and began to say, “Everyone, thank you for coming to this charity banquet. On behalf of the Zhang family, I want to thank you guys.”

“Now, let’s begin!”

With that, Zhang Jun got someone to bring the auction items to the stage.

Zhang Jun said, “The first item for today is an emerald jade. The bidding price starts at 100,000!”

The people below the stage immediately began to bid.

In order to attract Zhang Jun’s attention, Liu Xin’er raised the price to 1.5 million.

This jade was only worth about 500,000 yuan.

Many presidents and bosses began to raise the price from 1.5 million to 3.5 million in order to please the Zhang family. There were still people bidding.

Although they knew that they were just giving money to the Zhang family, they were still very enthusiastic!

To these rich bosses, a few million was nothing compared to currying favor with the Zhang family, so they were willing to spend more.

Jian Xing’er had already seen the auction list. She wasn’t interested in the first few items at all and just sat there while watching.

Ding ding ding…

Shangguan Ding’s phone suddenly rang.

After looking at the number, Shangguan Ding didn’t pick up. Instead, he stood up and walked out.

At this moment, more than ten luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the hotel.

Dozens of bodyguards stood by the car. A few had even won international competitions, but they still stood by the car obediently.

Then, an old man walked out of the car.

The old man held a walking stick in his hand. His gaze was sharp and he exuded a terrifying sense of intimidation.

Seeing Shangguan Ding come out, the old man immediately went forward and said respectfully, “Young Master…”

Shangguan Ding asked unhappily, “Who asked you to come over?”

The old man immediately said, “Master ordered me to!”

“Master heard that you were in trouble in Sea City, so he sent me to bring people over to protect you!”

After a pause, the old man continued, “Young Master, don’t worry. Even if I search through Sea City, I’ll find those killers and definitely won’t let anyone dare to attack you!”

With the Shangguan family’s power, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to search through the entire country, let alone Sea City.

Shangguan Ding said, “Go back to the capital immediately. I can settle my own matters!”
