Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

Jiang An and Lin Xixi stepped into the port fishing village. Led by the waiter, they came to a quiet seat.

Despite the hotel's fame and crowds, there are always quiet corners reserved for diners seeking peace.

Jiang An knew that Lin Xixi was in a very emotional state today, so he deliberately chose such a quiet place to avoid the impact of the outside noise on her.

The two of them savored the fresh river fish while chatting about the plot of the movie, enjoying this rare quiet time.

After the meal, they drove home.

On the way, Jiang An received a call from Zhang Zhejie.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang and several other senior businessmen had teamed up to hold a commemorative auction, hoping that Jianghu Company could participate.

This will not only create publicity for the company, but also highlight the reputation and status of the Jianghu company.

"This is a great opportunity," Jiang An said into the speakerphone. "Being able to participate in such an auction is undoubtedly a huge benefit to our company. But why did the old man think of inviting us?"

Zhang Zhejie on the other end of the phone laughed proudly, "Isn't this all my credit? I went to the old man's place today and saw him sorting out relevant information, so I asked him casually. I told him, how can such a big thing be done without the participation of our Jianghu Company?"

Although Jiang An was excited, he was also a little worried.

After all, those who participate in such auctions are usually financially strong organizations or individuals, and the word "auction" itself means high value.

However, Zhang Zhejie holds a different view. "Regardless of the capital of our company, participation is what matters. For activities like this, participation is the most important thing."

Jiang An thought for a moment and felt that what Zhang Zhejie said made sense. "Well, in that case, let's attend the auction together."

Zhang Zhejie rejected his invitation, "Forget it. If I go to such an occasion, Grandpa will definitely drag me to talk to people endlessly. I don't like this. You should go with Lady Lin."

"You two don't have anything to do right now, so leave the company to me and Lao Lin. The chairman and his wife can just enjoy their lives and don't worry about the status of us grassroots employees."

"Brother, if you keep being so jealous, we may not have to buy vinegar anymore in the future." Jiang An joked and then hung up the phone.

He turned to Lin Xixi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, "How is it? Are you interested in this auction?"

Lin Xixi's eyes were already flashing with desire and anticipation, "Teacher Jiang, I have never participated in such an auction. We must go and take a look when the time comes."

"No problem," Jiang An smiled slightly, "Zhang Zhejie said he would put the relevant information at the gate of the yard, let's take a look when we get home."

The two returned home full of expectations, and sure enough, they saw a information bag on the courtyard wall.

After looking through the information, they discovered that this was an auction specifically for movie props, and because it was a charitable event, all proceeds from the auction would be transferred to the corresponding charitable organizations.

All bidders are eligible to check and monitor the flow of funds at any time, which makes this auction not only interesting but also adds a special meaning.

The auction is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and Jiang An and Lin Xixi are both looking forward to it.

Finally, the day of the auction arrived.

Jiang An and Lin Xixi dressed up and came to the largest auction venue in Shanghai with invitation letters in hand.

"Xiao Lin, look at this place. Is it exactly the same as what we saw on TV?"

As Jiang An spoke, he introduced some rules of the auction to Lin Xixi.

Although the information provided by Zhang Zhejie was already very comprehensive, Jiang An still wanted to emphasize some details to Lin Xixi.

In fact, there is no other reason. The key is that he knows very well that Lin Xixi is a girl who pays great attention to etiquette.

That being the case, they cannot do anything inappropriate.

The two handed the invitation to the receptionist at the door. Just as they were about to enter with the receipt, Mr. Zhang walked towards them.

"See, I told you that little bastard of mine wouldn't come."

Mr. Zhang was accompanied by several people who seemed to be of prominent status.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man waved to Jiang An and Lin Xixi, "Grandson," he called, "Come here, let me introduce you."

Jiang An and Lin Xixi hurried over, and Mr. Zhang introduced the people around him to them one by one.

It turns out that these people are the organizers of today's auction, and each of them is a wealthy tycoon.

"You must take good care of my grandson in the future."

Mr. Zhang said lightly, and the people around him also expressed their opinions, "Don't worry, we are all family, how can we not take care of you."

"I feel relieved when you say this."

Mr. Zhang laughed loudly, then picked up his cigar and glanced at Jiang An.

Jiang An immediately understood and walked forward to light cigarettes for the people present.

In the past, Jiang An would never do such a thing, but since following Zhang Zhejie, he has indeed learned a lot.

Sure enough, Jiang An's action immediately increased everyone's favorability towards him, and they all thought that he was a smart and adaptable young man.

Generally speaking, young and promising people like him tend to have a bad temper.

"It's rare for young people to have such an attitude." One of the wealthy businessmen laughed and patted Jiang An on the shoulder. "Look at the two of you. You are really a match made in heaven. You will definitely rise to higher positions in the future."

Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and then Mr. Zhang signaled Jiang An and Lin Xixi to enter first.

Soon, the auction officially kicked off, and the first item attracted the attention of the entire audience.

This is a prop from a famous foreign heroic epic movie. It was once a signature item in the hands of the male protagonist. The starting price is as high as seven figures, which is astonishing.

Jiang An and Lin Xixi had watched this movie together before, and the plot and scenes in the movie were deeply imprinted in their minds.

To be honest, Jiang An had a special liking for this auction item, but the price was so high that he was discouraged.

What's more, all his current funds have been invested in the construction of that small amusement park, which also includes the investment of Zhang Zhejie and Lin Qingyou.

Although Lin Xixi is not aware of this yet, Jiang An is determined to better hide his financial situation and never let her find out.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Xixi has become more mature and rational now.

If she had seen such a treasure in the past, she would definitely encourage Jiang An to buy it, because she knew it was his favorite.

However, now, she prefers to appreciate rather than own, thinking that since it is not a necessity of life, why not use the money for more practical life investments.

With the appearance of the first auction item, the atmosphere on site quickly heated up and bidders raised their hands with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, a staff member in a black suit walked up behind Jiang An, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Boss Jiang, please come with me. The old man has something to tell you."

Jiang An was stunned for a moment, then patted Lin Xixi's shoulder, told her to wait here, and got up and followed the staff to the backstage. When he arrived backstage, he saw Mr. Zhang sitting on the armchair, waving at him, "Come, come here."

Jiang An smiled slightly and walked over, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Seeing that Grandpa Zhang was about to light a cigarette, he quickly took out his lighter and lit it.

After Jiang An lit a cigarette for Mr. Zhang, the old man took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to him, "Take this."

"Grandpa Zhang, what are you doing?" Jiang An hastily declined, "I don't need it."

"Don't pretend in front of your grandfather."

Mr. Zhang smiled and patted him on the arm. "Grandpa knows everything about your current situation. The original intention of letting you participate in this auction today is to promote your company. If you can't even get a single item, how can we promote you?"

"Then I can do it myself..."

Before Jiang An could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man, "If you keep pretending, I will really not give you face and kick you out directly."

Mr. Zhang continued, "I've told you everything. I know everything about you. And your old man is also aware of this matter. I've told him about it. Don't worry, I will definitely save your face."

"But this money is not for you. You have to pay it back to me when you recover. Do you understand?"

Jiang An nodded immediately and looked at Mr. Zhang with eyes full of gratitude.
