Chapter 1394: Chapter 1393: When it comes to showing off, it’s got to be you!

The moment Miss Jianjia appeared, everyone looked toward her.

This woman was skilled in the art of elegance and danced with long sleeves; with formidable powerful forces backing her, she was also one of the Capital’s four great beauties.

Whether it was in terms of looks, family background, or capabilities, she stood out among the women of the Capital City. She even had a larger reputation in the Capital than Li Yanran because she was excellent at socializing.

And she had more supporters than Lin Yanran!

As soon as she appeared, many couldn’t help but burst into cheers.

"Miss Jianjia has arrived!"

"Miss Jianjia, I am your most loyal follower, and you are truly stunning today."

"Without having seen Miss Jianjia, all other thousand charms seem in vain!"

"Jianjia lush and green, white dew turns to frost; such is the lover, just as she is!"

"..."

Even Wang Xiuxin gazed at Cao Jianjia with shining eyes; the goddess of his secret adoration was none other than Cao Jianjia.

"Do you fancy this baby girl?" the man in a black robe beside Wang Xiuxin asked with a light laugh.

Wang Xiuxin nodded, "Yes, Master Qin, she is indeed the so-called lover of my heart."

The man in the black robe, Master Qin, gave no face as he said, "You’re not worthy of her."

Wang Xiuxin: "..."

His expression was somewhat awkward, thinking that even if that were the case, did you really need to be so face-smashing? Your words are such a blow to the ego, ah.

"What I said about not being worthy, that’s just for now. In the future, it’s not necessarily so. If you follow me to Southborne in the future and serve my master, and when my master makes you an alchemist too, with that identity of an alchemist, who in this world wouldn’t you be worthy of?"

The words following from the man in the black robe lifted Wang Xiuxin’s spirits, erasing any displeasure and embarrassment and replacing them with excitement and trembling.

He quickly thanked him in a low voice, "Thank you, Master Qin, for your discerning eye. If I really become an alchemist in the future, I will be endlessly grateful to Master Qin."

"You are my Godsend."

The man in the black robe nodded and then fell silent.

Beside them, Wang Yingkai was also intensely staring at Cao Jianjia, who had appeared on the high platform. He too was mesmerized at this moment.

His dream goddess was also this very Miss Jianjia!

Although Tang Mu was beautiful, and Li Yanran was beautiful, the beauty of Cao Jianjia was different from theirs, and the kind of beauty Wang Yingkai liked was precisely that of Cao Jianjia.

But he also knew that he wasn’t worthy of her. Even though he was one of the Capital Eight Young Masters and also from a wealthy family, what did this so-called title mean in the eyes of Cao Jianjia?

That didn’t add points; rather, it deducted points.

All he could do was often attend her charity auctions to quietly catch a few more glimpses of her from below the stage.

Beyond that, he didn’t dare to hope for more. That woman was too outstanding; in Wang Yingkai’s eyes, the only person worthy of her was someone like Lin Tiance of the Lin family. Even Wang Xiuxin wasn’t qualified enough.

At that moment, Lin Dong also couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Cao Jianjia on the high platform; she indeed was very beautiful.

Her beauty was not inferior to Li Yanran and Tang Mu by his side.

She was on par with Bai Jue and Li Qingcheng.

Li Yanran joked with Lin Dong at his side, "How about it, is Miss Jianjia beautiful?"

Lin Dong nodded, "Quite beautiful."

"Hehe, you’re not thinking about adding her to your collection now, are you?" Li Yanran teased.

Lin Dong gave her a glance, "Where would that be enough? I think I should claim all four great beauties."

Li Yanran’s face blushed, and she glared at him, "Dream on! What are you thinking? That you are an emperor from ancient times?"

She was one of the four great beauties, wasn’t Lin Dong’s statement implying he wanted to claim her too?

She knew Lin Dong was joking, just like the bantering statement she had made earlier.

At that moment, Cao Jianjia on the platform began by slightly bowing to everyone, then said,

"Welcome, friends. Thank you for attending the charity auction organized by me."

"Before we start the auction, please allow me to repeat the rules of our auction once more,"

"Our charity auction will allocate 20 percent of the proceeds for charitable causes."

"Everyone present can submit their treasures for auction, and likewise, bid on the treasures they desire."

Cao Jianjia was introducing the rules of her charity auction.

Lin Dong had just learned that there were two types of items being auctioned.

One type was collected by Cao Jianjia before the start of the auction.

The other was provided by the attendees of the auction themselves.

Many people already knew these rules, like Li Yanran, Wang Xiuxin, Jiang Fan, Wang Yingkai, Tang Mu, and others.

Those who were aware of the rules would bring items they wanted to auction. They’d hand them directly to the staff of the auction.

On one hand, they could liquidate the treasures in their possession; on the other hand, even if they didn’t win any bids, they could still contribute to charity.

After Cao Jianjia finished explaining the rules, next came the moment for everyone to submit the treasures they brought to the sponsors for auction.

Generally, most people would discreetly hand over their treasures to the sponsors during this process, not revealing what they were.

After all, one shouldn’t flaunt their wealth too openly, especially when it comes to items put up for auction. What if your treasure is too valuable and fetching a sky-high price draws unwanted attention?

Of course, there are some who don’t care about these considerations; they just want to show off.

If they want to display their status, they would announce their treasures with great fanfare.

Take Jiang Fan at this moment, for example.

Jiang Fan had naturally brought a treasure this time, but he didn’t really intend to auction it; he simply wanted to flaunt it.

At the moment, he took a key out of his hand, then deliberately glanced over at Lin Dong and Tang Mu, and immediately said to the auction staff loudly:

"What I’m auctioning this time is this!"

The staff member, a beautiful lady, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and exclaimed:

"Young Master Jiang Fan, is... is that the key to a Rolls-Royce Phantom?"

"Yes!" Jiang Fan was very pleased with the staff member’s reaction. He looked over at Lin Dong and Tang Mu again, only to find that they were not looking his way at all.

He immediately raised his voice even louder, as if to deliberately attract their attention.

Then, he snatched the microphone from the staff member’s hands.

He nearly shouted, "This is indeed the key to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and this time, I plan to auction my Rolls-Royce Phantom!"

"I believe everyone present has discernment and must have heard of this world’s most expensive limited edition sports car, haven’t you?"

"However, there are always some whose horizons are not so broad and therefore haven’t heard of this Rolls-Royce Phantom."

"But no worries, I will introduce it to you!"

"My Rolls-Royce Phantom is the world’s most expensive limited edition sports car, priced at 2,800 USD—note the unit, in USD, not RMB!"

"It is also known as the most ambitious luxury car ever, from research and design to production; it took a full four years. It was designed by the top international car designers."

"There are only four in the entire world, and I am one of those four! Note, every number I mention is a unique feature of it, please remember it well! Because it reflects the distinguished identity of its owner!"

"Alright, I won’t go into the specific performance of the car. I will just introduce it up to here...

After finishing, he tossed the key into the air, and the staff member quickly reached out to catch it, worried that the key would fall to the ground and get damaged.

At that moment, Jiang Fan realized that he had almost attracted everyone’s attention.

Many people were looking at him with fiery eyes.

Even Lin Dong and Tang Mu, he noticed, glanced over at him.

His objective was achieved. His eyes turned to Lin Dong, and he couldn’t help thinking to himself.

"Dragon Country’s Number One Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor? Impressive? Dad’s car is a dream you could never reach in your lifetime. How can you compare to me?"

Wang Yingkai, witnessing this scene, also couldn’t help but lament inwardly:

"Although Jiang Fan is foolish, when it comes to acting like a pretentious prick, he really is a genius! When it comes to showmanship, it’s got to be you, Jiang Fan."

"If I had to score this charade, I’d give him full marks!"
