From Sidekick to Bigshot

At this moment, Jian Yiling received a message on her phone:

[Master Liang would like to invite you to come over and sit with him.]

Jian Yiling replied: [If it’s not necessary, I won’t come over.]

After a while, the person in charge of sending messages sent another message to Jian Yiling after consulting Master Liang’s wishes. [Master Liang doesn’t want to force you to do anything. Dr. F.S, you’re free to do what you want.]

Apart from Jian Yiling and Master Liang’s subordinates, no one knew that the person who was sitting in the middle of the venue was sending a message to Jian Yiling who was sitting at the corner of the venue.

They also didn’t know that Jian Yiling and Master Liang had been in contact for a long time already.

The ones who helped Jian Yiling find the surveillance video was sent by Master Liang.

Master Liang held the best technology in the world. All kinds of talented and skilled personnel worked under him.

Just when Jian Yiling started to make her presence known on the Internet, Master Liang had found out about her.

Although Jian Yiling could conceal her identity to other people, she couldn’t hide it from Mater Liang. Very quickly, Master Liang found out about her real identity.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the charity auction began.

One by one, the donated items were brought to the stand.

Everyone started to bid.

At first, the items that were brought up were quite ordinary.

The prices ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. The highest price was in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He Yan had also bid for a jeweled necklace. The first reason for this was because the necklace was quite nice. However, the second was that it was quite embarrassing to not buy anything on such an occasion.

Halfway through the action, an unexpected item was suddenly brought forward to the auction stand.

When the brocade covering the item was lifted, everyone’s eyes were drawn to this particular item.

It was a thirty-carat pink diamond.

The staff members introduced everyone to the pink diamond. It was perfect in color, clarity, weight, and cut.

Then, the staff finally announced the starting price of the auction for the pink diamond. It was 25 million.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

No one was prepared for this today.

Typically, it was unlikely that a charity auction would have an item of this magnitude.

Usually, these items were only auctioned at major international events. Furthermore, before the auction, news of the item was spread around by word of mouth. This was done to attract more people to bid on the item.

And thus, no one would have thought that such an item would appear at the charity auction today.

No one was mentally and financially prepared for such an item.

He Yan looked at the pink diamond. She liked it very much.

Although she had a lot of jewelry at home, nothing could be compared to the diamond in front of her. Her husband had given her a lot of precious items.

However, she didn’t have a single pink diamond on this scale. In fact, she didn’t even have one that was half the size of the one on the auction table.

As much as she liked the item, He Yan knew that she could never bid on it.

She didn’t have the money. She never had that much money. Furthermore, her current situation didn’t allow her to buy such a thing.

And thus, He Yan could only look at the item. Most of the rich and famous ladies present at the charity dinner were also in the same situation as her.

No one had that much money on their hands. They couldn’t spend 25 million on a single item.

Everyone was silent for an entire five minutes.

Just when everyone thought that no one would bid on the thirty-carat pink diamond, Master Liang spoke up.
