Chapter 66
After arriving abroad, Luan Yenan sent Zuo Baixuan photos of his arrival.
Unexpectedly, the innocent girl reverted to her former "heartless" ways, replying with only four words: "Take care of yourself."
Luan Yenan smiled silently, holding his phone.
The cold, impersonal words spoken over a phone are truly disheartening. If we could be face-to-face, hearing those four words would probably ease the tension.
However, Luan Yenan wasn't a love-struck person; once she got into work mode, she put aside her personal feelings for the time being.
When they came abroad, in addition to visiting a few partner companies they had already contacted, they were very interested in "blockchain".
Luan Yenan showed them no mercy, selling a considerable amount of "blockchain coins" at high prices and introducing the company's latest technology. The company leaders immediately became interested and invited her to attend the last regional information technology seminar summit before the end of the year.
Luan Yenan's original plan was to return to China after New Year's Day, so he naturally did not refuse.
After that, she also sought out several teams that Chen Huanyu had collaborated with overseas under the "Huanyu" banner, and then collaborated with and recruited them.
After visiting these places, I also went to the best local hospital.
Different countries will have different development directions in glandular technology.
Although international conventions require each country to disclose its latest glandular research findings, patent fees are extremely high. Therefore, while there is some overlap in medical research among countries, they tend to focus on developing their own strengths independently.
For example, traditional Chinese medicine components, which are unique to China, are not commonly used abroad. There are some special treatment methods abroad that are rarely used in China.
Luan Yenan is not averse to cutting-edge medical procedures, and she made an appointment for another check-up before going abroad this time.
After the examination, she changed into a dress and attended a local auction, using the money she earned from selling coins to buy several beautiful exhibits.
Unexpectedly, during the auction of one of the diamond necklaces, I met someone I never thought I would see.
On the table are collectible diamonds with a starting bid of five million.
The design was very distinctive, and it was once a royal collection, which piqued Luan Yenan's interest.
When the countdown reached 15 million and the countdown began, Luan Yenan raised his paddle.
Eighteen million.
Prior to this, Luan Yenan had kept a low profile, and the items he purchased were mostly collectibles with little competition, more for the sake of participation.
So this has attracted some attention.
This attention was quickly swept away.
Twenty million.
The price increased instantly on the other end.
Whispers began to circulate among the audience: what's going on? It's almost over, why is the competition suddenly so fierce?
Luan Yenan continued to hold up the sign.
Twenty-two million.
Twenty-five million.
Twenty-eight million.
Thirty million.
Thirty-two million.
The price increased multiple times in just five seconds.
The price returned to Luan Yenan's hands.
hiss--
Many people looked at the two men who kept holding up signs and felt that there was something wrong with them.
Although it's true that money can't buy what you love, anyone with a bit of experience who brings an appraiser would know that this diamond necklace is only worth around 25 million.
They looked at each other, and even the appraisers began to wonder if they had missed the story behind the necklace and misjudged its price.
The subsequent crazy price hikes gave everyone new ideas.
One of these two people is definitely a shill, and the other is a sucker.
While everyone was looking at Luan Yenan with the eyes of someone who had been taken advantage of, Luan Yenan was already looking at the person holding the sign a little distance to his side.
As the bid of 35 million appeared, the person making the bid behind the sign turned around and revealed a smiling expression.
Luan Ye Nan Xu Yan.
It turned out to be an acquaintance, Si Ruxin.
And judging from her expression, she was deliberately trying to raise the price for me.
This young lady, who has spent money like water since childhood, happened to have some spare cash on hand, so she wanted to compete with Luan Yenan for the necklace.
But he's still deliberately showing a friendly smile, probably hoping that Luan Yenan will give way.
Luan Yenan's face remained expressionless as he raised the sign again.
Thirty-eight million.
Anyway, it was all fresh money that those companies had made from buying cryptocurrencies these past few days. While everyone else was showing expressions of heartache, Luan Yenan remained unfazed.
This made Si Ruxin frown.
As expected, Luan Yenan remained as cold and unapproachable as ever.
She wanted to fight Luan Ye Nan because she still had a lot of budget left.
I still need to think about it, since my family wants her to photograph another exhibit.
Si Ruxin suppressed her impulse.
Luan Yenan made the final decision with three hammer blows, acquiring the diamond necklace for 38 million.
After confirming, Luan Yenan got up and left.
Only then did the others realize that this person had come specifically for this collectible, which explained why he was bidding so aggressively without any hesitation.
When Si Ruxin saw Luan Yenan get up, she hurriedly stood up as well, handed the plaque to the accompanying staff so that he could complete the remaining auction tasks, and then lifted her skirt and chased after Luan Yenan out the door, losing all ladylike manners. Fortunately, she arrived just before Luan Yenan got on the elevator.
"Luan Yenan".
Luan Yenan stood in front of the elevator waiting.
The short Alpha male secretary standing to the side couldn't help but turn around.
The stunningly beautiful S-class Omega made his heart tremble.
Si Ruxin was wearing a deep V-neck evening gown today. When she caught up with Luan Yenan, she let go of the long dress and swung it in a fan-shaped arc.
Luan Yenan turned around and happened to witness this scene.
The foreign reporters who had been waiting nearby, unaware of the two individuals' identities, simply took a few photos because they found them pleasing to the eye.
The sound of camera shutters also attracted the attention of other reporters.
Among them were reporters from China Daily, who immediately recognized the two individuals and quickly took several photos.
Si Ruxin said with a smile, "President Luan, you don't need to avoid me like I'm a tiger. I'm so sad."
Luan Yenan genuinely disliked Si Ruxin's speaking habits.
However, to outsiders, this Miss Si must be poised, gentle, kind, and have high emotional intelligence.
Unlike myself, I am cold-hearted and aggressive.
At least, that was the reaction of her secretary, who glanced at her cautiously, shrank back, and gave Si Ruxin an embarrassed smile.
But since that's the case, I might as well just go all the way with my cold-heartedness.
"Miss Si, you're here too."
Si Ruxin was speechless for a moment. She also disliked Luan Yenan's way of speaking. He really never took her seriously.
We just made eye contact. Are you severely nearsighted?
But she just held back her complaint, took a deep breath, and continued speaking at her own pace: "You snatched that necklace from me just now, aren't you going to treat me to a meal to make it up to me?"
"Really? Am I exempt from paying the auction fee? Or does Miss Si have some inside connections that can save me the handling fee?" Luan Yenan maintained her aloof attitude.
Si Ruxin was so angry she almost laughed.
Others would beg for a chance to eat with someone, but this person does the opposite.
I gave her a chance, but she didn't want it at all. Instead, she felt that I was the one who got the better deal.
It really is!
What kind of trashy Alpha are you?!
You might as well have dinner with your secretary!
Si Ruxin cursed inwardly.
But when she glanced at the Alpha beside her, whose face was filled with drooling desire, Si Ruxin clenched her fist.
never mind.
Luan Yenan is more interesting.
She was indeed tired of these Alphas who "fell in love at first sight" with her because of her looks and status.
On the contrary, someone like Luan Yenan is quite good.
