Chapter 667: Chapter 431: Take a Stroll_2

"Black diamond?"

Feng Yi thought to himself, ’Does everyone really think I’m interested in diamonds?’

"Cut or rough?" Feng Yi asked.

Feng Chi thought for a moment, then said, "Rough, but not big. They wouldn’t bring out the big ones for an auction like this."

"Rough diamond, huh."

Feng Yi actually became a bit interested.

Feng Chi said, "After the blue diamond incident, everyone knows you have money. They just want to get more of it from your pockets."

Previously, it was only known that Feng Yi was one of the shareholders of Ancestral Factory, but as everyone knew, the shareholders of Ancestral Factory didn’t have much say and how rich they actually were wasn’t very clear.

Now it was clear to everyone that if Feng Yi wasn’t well-funded, he wouldn’t have kept such a large blue diamond with him. Someone else would have already taken advantage of the high-profile media opportunity to auction the diamond. Or they could collaborate with those legendary craftsmen and masters to transform the rough into dazzling diamond jewelry and maximize their value.

Since Feng Yi did neither, it meant he must not be short of money.

If he wasn’t short of money, then come on, guys, let’s play and do some charity on the side!

Unlike Feng Yi’s previous donations to remote observation stations or other ecological projects, this type of charity was a game for certain social circles.

Extravagant as it might seem, it actually yielded a lot of money for public welfare projects.

In the past, when the regulation wasn’t particularly strict, it was easy to exploit loopholes. Even after the management tightened up in recent years, it was still pretty good.

Feng Yi wasn’t new to this kind of charity auction, so he knew the drill.

Seeing that Feng Yi was indeed interested, Feng Chi recalled Wang Xuqin’s words and said, "He told me he personally called you and sent you an invitation, hand-delivered. He came to me because he was worried you might be too busy with work lately to have seen it, asking me to check with you. The polite way to put it, really, is just to prevent you from ignoring it!"

Because of the diamond incident a while back, Feng Yi had received too many unfamiliar calls, so he had asked Yi to handle them.

Feng Yi remembered now. Yi did mention it, but he hadn’t paid attention at the time because he wasn’t interested.

"Have you seen the invitation?" Feng Chi asked.

"I have. Wait, let me look for it."

Feng Yi left for a moment and then returned with a box.

Opening the lid, inside was a heap of calling cards, invitations, and so on.

He had received so many of these things during the blue diamond hype, and he had written quite a few replies as well.

The butler had designed and produced personal sticky notes, and Feng Yi had written replies by hand.

He hadn’t reached the level where he could completely ignore certain social niceties.

Speaking of which, Feng Yi thought to himself, ’The unfinished replies could let Ren give it a try; Ren has been practicing my handwriting lately.’

Originally, Ren was hesitant about this task. After all, handwriting involved too much privacy, and he didn’t dare overstep.

But Feng Yi didn’t mind.

Those truly core matters couldn’t be affected by just handwriting, including his private stash.

Ren could practice writing with the less important replies, and Feng Yi would only be responsible for the final check.

Starting as a stand-in by writing replies for the boss.

Mulling over having Ren write on his behalf, Feng Yi’s hands didn’t stop searching through the box.

Beside him, Feng Chi was somewhat shocked by the sight.

Among the invitations in the box, some were incredibly exquisite and lavish, their surfaces printed with big logos of globally known fashion luxury brands!

Recently, two rising stars in the entertainment industry fought over the endorsement of this brand, tearing into each other three times!

Yet here, an invitation from such a luxurious brand was casually tossed in with a pile of other cards.

Feng Chi seemed to want to say something, his lips quivered, but he ended up saying nothing.

He had solidified his belief in clinging to his big brother’s coattails!

Forget Wang Xuqin, how could ’Brother Qin’ compare to his own brother!

"Oh, is this it?" Feng Yi picked up an invitation.

It bore the emblem of "Mingyao".

He opened it up and indeed, it was the invitation to the event.

Feng Chi glanced at it and confirmed, "Yes, that’s the one."

Feng Yi pointed to a code on the invitation, "Does this code have any special significance?"

Feng Chi explained, "Oh, this is the identity code that corresponds to each invitation. The event is in An City, where the Ancestral Factory headquarters is located. However, the venue is a bit far from the headquarters, in the coastal scenic area. That Seaside Hotel there is theirs, and for the Mingyao event this year, they’ll reserve a large number of rooms exclusively for it, taking care of lodging and meals for the guests."

"If you’re sure you’ll attend, I’ll help you activate this code, and the system will automatically assign a room to you. Apparently, the room allocation is random. The auction itself will be on their luxury yacht, where the rooms are also randomly assigned."

"Okay, give it a try," Feng Yi handed the invitation over.

Feng Chi was already familiar with the activation process and quickly opened a page, where he entered the identity code from Feng Yi’s invitation.

A page popped up for selecting the check-in date.

Seeing this, Feng Chi remembered, "Before the Mingyao auction, they’re also organizing a supercar exchange event. People from the supercar club I’m in are going too. Brother, if you’re not attending the supercar event, you only need to fill in the dates for the auction. You can fill it in randomly too; it’s not important. They just want to have an idea so they can make arrangements."

"A supercar exchange event?"

"That stuff, you know, showing off, racing through the mountains, and stuff like that."

"Are you participating?"

"Yep."

"Then I’ll fill in the same as you."

"Sounds good!"

As Feng Chi was entering the dates, he suddenly realized, "Brother, are you going to join the drive when the time comes?"

Feng Yi replied, "Yeah."

Feng Chi, surprised, exclaimed, "You got a new car?!"

Feng Yi simply said, "Got one recently."

He planned to drive that car to the event, to promote it both for his maternal aunt and his maternal uncle.

Maybe his aunt and uncle didn’t need that bit of publicity, but since they had put so much effort into this gift, Feng Yi felt he ought to take it out for a spin.

He didn’t need it for everyday use, so this event was an opportunity to drive it; after that, it would probably be parked in the garage for a long time.

After Feng Chi finished entering the dates, he looked at the so-called "randomly assigned" room number that popped up and declared confidently, "It’s rigged for sure!"

The best batch of suites was definitely designated for certain individuals, within which the room numbers were really drawn at random.

Feng Chi knew exactly what each room number corresponded to.

Feng Yi’s room was much bigger than his!

"Brother, I’m going to sleep with you!"

As Feng Chi prattled on, he quickly finished activating Feng Yi’s identity.

"All done! For accompanying personnel, like assistants and bodyguards, up to ten people are taken care of, no need for you to book separately; if there are more than ten, you can contact them in advance, and they will arrange it. Bring the invitation with you; it has a chip in it, you’ll just swipe it when you check in."

After swiftly completing the operation, Feng Chi rubbed his hands together: "Are you busy right now, brother? If you’re free, can you take me to see your new car?"
