**Chapter 604: I, Ye Xiu, Am the Person in Charge of the Pretentious Gathering**
Although Su Jiu'er had an in-depth relationship with Ye Xiu, she never revealed her true identity to him. While they kept in touch afterward, Su Jiu'er lied, claiming she was studying abroad. In reality, she was the heir to a family business worth billions, a top-tier "bai fu mei" (wealthy and beautiful woman) and a dominant female CEO. Even though Ye Xiu drove a Pagani Zonda, it was no different from other luxury cars to someone like her. What attracted her was Ye Xiu's charisma, looks, and demeanor.
The BMW guy Ye Xiu once embarrassed was just someone Su Jiu'er used to pacify her parents. She had no interest in him; her only interest was in Ye Xiu. Unfortunately, their differing statuses created a gap, and Su Jiu'er had to return to her family business, limiting their contact. Recently, with the family business facing potential bankruptcy due to sabotage, she became even busier, unable to inform Ye Xiu of her return to the capital.
Su Jiu'er had many friends abroad, but they quickly distanced themselves when her company faced trouble. In contrast, her good friends back home often helped her in critical times. She returned today to seek help from old friends at the auction, hoping to find a temporary solution for her company's urgent issues. With some breathing room, she was confident she could restore normal operations.
As Su Jiu'er entered the auction, she saw several influential figures, including Xu Zhiming from Xinghui Group, Zhang Tao, the head of Armani China, and Dong Pingwei, VP of SF Group. The room was filled with elites worth billions. Su Jiu'er spotted a few old friends but refrained from approaching them, knowing it wasn't the right time to ask for help before the auction started. She decided to watch the auction first, curious about what had drawn so many big names to this rare event.
Just as Su Jiu'er sat down, Liu Zhenan followed. He glanced at the man next to her and arrogantly demanded, "You! Move! This seat is mine." The wealthy man was initially displeased but changed his tone upon learning Liu Zhenan was the son of Liu Hongguan, apologizing and giving up the seat. Liu Zhenan dismissed him as a nobody, sitting beside Su Jiu'er and admiring her poised demeanor and stunning looks, feeling an intense desire to possess her.
He offered to buy her a beautiful piece of jewelry rumored to be at the auction, but Su Jiu'er coldly declined. Despite her attitude, Liu Zhenan persisted with sweet talk, reminding her of their families' close ties and his long-standing affection for her. However, Su Jiu'er ignored him, knowing his intentions were insincere.
As the lights dimmed and focused on the auction stage, the crowd's attention shifted. Liu Zhenan was also curious about the items up for auction, especially since his family had instructed him to secure a particular painting, regardless of the cost. His father, Liu Hongguan, was determined to acquire it, even providing him with 2 billion in cash and more if needed. Liu Zhenan didn't understand the value of antiques, but he was intrigued by the idea of a single painting being worth tens of billions.
While his main purpose was the auction, winning Su Jiu'er over was an additional goal. However, fate had other plans for him.
"Welcome to the Yuanwen Museum's auction. The proceeds from today's event will be donated to help children in mountain areas, supporting their education and development. Now, let's welcome the main person in charge of this auction, Mr. Ye Xiu!"
The room erupted in applause, with some smiling and others confused, wondering why a mere auction organizer received such a warm reception. Su Jiu'er, hearing the name, thought she was imagining it until she saw the man walk out. Dressed in a silver suit, standing tall and handsome with a warm smile, it could only be Ye Xiu. She was stunned to realize he was the auction's main organizer.
