432 Finding Faul (1/2)

There was a security check at the main door of the hall. Only after all dangers had been eliminated would people be allowed in. Moreover, not every passenger on the ship would be able to enter. There was actually a regulation for the people to have a value of at least ten million. This auction was not of the average level at all.

Mo Wen had initially thought that Shen Jing may not be able to fulfill such a high criterion. After all, she was a mere university lecturer. However, she declared a Citibank account and the security guard allowed her to enter. Even Mo Wen and Finley had not been stopped or interrogated on their way in.

”You're actually a little rich lady. If I marry you, I'll probably have my life settled with no worries,” Mo Wen teased, looking at Shen Jing.

”Weren't you all high and lofty before this? Talking all about how you are so great; so what, now you're just going to rely on a girl?” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. It was as though she was trying to say she knew how childish Mo Wen's words had been in the past.

”What other choice do I have? This society is just like that. Isn't it said that working hard for one's entire life is not even as good as making a good bet?” Mo Wen asked, laughing dryly.

”You're never serious. Everything that I have now is not from home, but all a result of my own hard work.” Shen Jing let out a light humph. She could have let it go if he had simply believed that she would not be able to enter. Yet, he actually still thought that she depended on her family for support.

”Money that you have earned yourself?” A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Shen Jing was just a university lecturer. No matter how much she earned, she would only earn that amount; she wasn't like him, who was able to simply extort money from people randomly, allowing him to make a big sum.

”Of course,” Shen Jing said proudly, lifting her chin.

”How did you earn it?” Mo Wen asked curiously.

”Doing business. I own 35% of the stocks of Sister Lin's Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals. Every year, I receive a dividend. Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals was co-founded by me and Sister Lin. Now, in the blink of an eye, seven to eight years have passed.” Shen Jing smiled as she spoke. She had only made an investment once, and it had been extremely successful.

”How can that be counted as you doing business? It's more like Sister Lin doing business and you riding on her success.” Upon hearing her words, Mo Wen had understood the situation immediately.

”Bleh, what do you mean I'm riding on her success? I have also contributed quite a lot. Back then, for Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals, I sacrificed a lot. Now that the business is on track, I don't have to care too much about it anymore.” Shen Jing glared at Mo Wen a little angrily. He had actually dared to deny her efforts and made it seem as though money was easily earned.

”It's just a small pharmaceutical company and you are already so proud of it,” Mo Wen smiled and said.

”Whose company is just a small pharmaceutical company? Aren't you afraid of your tongue being struck by lightning for being too boastful?” Shen Jing's expression was stiff as she gave Mo Wen a look.

In the capital, Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals was a very renowned pharmaceutical company. All its properties totaled up to more than 4 billion. Although they could not compare to some big players in the industry, they were already considered a large company.

”Alright, alright. Let's just say that it is a large company.” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. He very sensibly decided to stop arguing with Shen Jing. If not, it would be a question of whether he was even allowed in bed or not that night.

”You don't actually mean what you say,” Shen Jing said apathetically.

Finley, who was walking behind the two of them, was a little impatient. After hanging out with them for two and a half days, she had seen this pair of enemies fight at least three times; however, each time, she had also felt that this lad, Mo Wen, was being too much of a b*stard. He was clearly winding Shen Jing up on purpose.

Inside the great hall, the space was very big. However, there were not many seats, no more than 500; clearly, there were definitely not many people that could participate in this auction. The venue was decorated very lavishly. Just stepping in would give one a very comfortable aura. Inside, there were quite a number of wait staff working. In front of each seat, there had been a fruit punch beverage prepared. The service was actually quite good.

Mo Wen and Shen Jing found the seats with the numbers that had been displayed on their individual boards. Then, a beautiful lady walked over.

”Shen Jing, you have finally appeared, I have waited a long time for you.” Yang Ting's mouth curled up into a proud smile and she lifted her chin slightly as she stood in front of Shen Jing.

”What are you waiting for me for?” Shen Jing asked coldly.

”Of course, I'm waiting for you to display your skills. Aren't you the best at participating in charity events? Tonight, you don't have to hold back. You have to at least offer up quite a significant amount more than me, right?” Yang Ting said laughingly. She made it seem as though her relationship with Shen Jing was very good.

”Doing charity is all about the intention. It is not a competition; moreover, my abilities are limited. I am only able to provide some help to my friends locally. As for international charities, please forgive my lack of capabilities,” Shen Jing said calmly, glancing over at Yang Ting. This woman was actually using charity as a threat.
