Chapter 94

PS: I initiated a survey on the author's page. Those who are interested can go and vote.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Ding, because they also knew that Ye Ding was born into such a family. It was just that his interest was in the business world, so he was the representative of the second generation in his family in the business world. With the appearance of such an item this time, Ye Ding might be the final winner.

Sure enough, Ye Ding could not escape the temptation of the Yang-restoring fruit. In fact, he had known about it a few days ago, but at that time, he was half-believing and half-doubting, so he also told Lin Xiao.

Not until today, to support Lin Xiao, after eating the health-strengthening fruit, all doubts disappeared. Now, seeing this fruit, Ye Ding had already made up his mind to get it.

Moreover, although the hundred-year-old ginseng and the blood orchid were already considered longevity secrets, the Yang-restoring fruit could not be missed.

"Can everyone give me a face? This fruit is not available to anyone now, it is very important to me. I thank you in advance, and if you need any help in the future, you can find me anytime," Ye Ding said a few polite words.

Then he turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Little brother, give a price for this fruit. Your brother Ye will take it directly, no matter how much it is." Ye Ding had a determined look on his face.

Actually, none of the people present had the strength to compete with Ye Ding. Only the boss, Chen Chong, had the financial power, so there was basically no opposition to Ye Ding's words. Since they couldn't compete anyway, it was better to sell him a favor.

"Then, Brother Ye, let's put the matter of this fruit aside for now. We can discuss it after the gathering," Lin Xiao actually knew that Ye Ding was the one who needed this fruit the most.

"I thank everyone in advance for participating in my auction, allowing a small person like me to invite so many business elites," Lin Xiao bowed in gratitude.

The others gave some applause, more or less. Lin Xiao continued, "Actually, the reason I organized this auction is not for money."

Ignoring the confusion of the crowd, Lin Xiao continued, "There's no need to be discouraged. The health-strengthening fruit will definitely appear in future auctions, but future auctions will no longer be about money transactions, but bartering."

After a pause, seeing that everyone was more or less clear, Lin Xiao continued, "The items I'm referring to are meteorites or some unique minerals."

Hearing this, everyone had a look of surprise, not understanding why Lin Xiao would need these things.

"A meteorite about half a meter in size can be exchanged for a health-strengthening fruit at any time. A meteorite about one meter in size can be exchanged for a Yang-restoring fruit. I will hold an auction once a year, and the items auctioned each time will be different, but they will not be inferior to this time's," Lin Xiao said.

Seeing the eyes of everyone getting brighter, Lin Xiao smiled slightly in his heart. He knew that the people present were moved.

For them, spending over 100 million to buy a health-strengthening fruit was still painful. But the requirement Lin Xiao proposed meant that they might only need to spend time, not a lot of money, to hire people to search.

Of course, those who bought the fruits had no regrets. Meteorites were not easy to find, and they secretly sighed at their good luck. They knew they couldn't buy anything at the next auction with money.

"Although this is your first time here, please have dinner before you leave. Dinner is about to start," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

The executives thought Lin Xiao would take them to a hotel or a countryside inn for a meal, but they didn't expect Lin Xiao to go to the kitchen to cook.

In the hall, whether or not they had bid on items, everyone benefited greatly from this trip. During this time, several company executives reached cooperation agreements, and those who didn't reach agreements got to know each other, looking forward to future cooperation.

People gathered in small groups, talking about interesting things in the circle, such as which company's CEO's son returned from studying abroad and caused the company to lose a lot of money on a project, or whose stock was attacked.

Of course, gossip is a human nature, regardless of age. Zhi Xiaomei threw out a small piece of gossip, and a bunch of people's gossip fires started burning.

"Have you heard about something?" Zhi Xiaomei said mysteriously.

"What is it?" Ye Ding replied.

"It's about the Rongjia company," Zhi Xiaomei continued.

"I've heard a little about it," He Pingji interjected.

"I know the inside story. It's said that the Rongjia company offended someone they shouldn't have, so it disappeared overnight," Zhi Xiaomei said.

"Who did they offend to make a listed company go bankrupt overnight? That's terrifying," Tang Fu interjected.

"It was a woman, I don't know her name, but the CEO's wife of Rongjia company called her a 'bitch,' and then her admirers directly brought down the Rongjia company," Zhi Xiaomei replied.

"Also, it's said that anyone who sees her will be captivated. They say she is so beautiful that she doesn't even eat human food," Zhi Xiaomei continued.

Seeing that everyone was attracted to this topic, indeed, only when it comes to beautiful women do men get really interested, Zhi Xiaomei thought.

Lin Xiao had already prepared dinner. Because there were many people, Lin Xiao made two tables of the same dishes today. He brought the dishes to the table one by one, and the aroma of the food wafted through the air.

The executives, still chatting, subconsciously sniffed the air. They smelled the fragrant aroma of the dishes and started looking around for the source.

Seeing that the table was already full of dishes and drinks, they heard Lin Xiao's voice, "Everyone, thank you for waiting. The dishes are all ready, you can start eating."

The crowd didn't stand on ceremony, smiling and walking to the table, finding a seat, picking up the wine bottles, opening them, and filling everyone's glasses.

But the special supply of the wine made everyone draw in a breath. This was clearly a supply wine. Where did Lin Xiao get it from? This made the crowd look at Lin Xiao even more highly.

Actually, this wine was sent by Old Chen a few days ago to thank Lin Xiao for the gifts he had given. Lin Xiao usually didn't drink or smoke, so he brought everything out today.

"Good, at least 20 years of aged Maotai, worthy of being a supply wine," Lu Zhi, a small wine enthusiast, couldn't resist and took a small sip, his face full of satisfaction.

Looking at the pack of cigarettes in front of each person, it was a special supply of Zhonghua. With the special supply of cigarettes and wine, the atmosphere suddenly felt elevated.

Zhi Xiaomei was the first to pick up the chopsticks. Seeing the green cabbage and the juicy steak, she directly picked a small piece of steak and put it in her bowl.

"Delicious." Zhi Xiaomei took a bite, and the tender and flavorful beef, along with the original juice, instantly exploded on her taste buds. The small steak filled her mouth, and she could only manage to say these two words, completely unable to find words to describe the deliciousness in her mouth.
