"We've come all this way to help you, what do we get in return?" Hua Lingwei joked with Chen Haoxuan.
"Yeah! You should give us something in return! You know, Liu Junfeng and I have been working hard on the math problems you gave us for days, nearly exhausting ourselves. We were just about to figure it out, but then you went and published the answers. You've ruined us, wasting our youth for nothing. If you don't compensate us for our losses, we're going on strike," Yang Lin joked.
"Tonight at Villa Hotel, whatever you eat is on me, how about that?" Chen Haoxuan generously offered.
"You said it, don't go back on your word," Yang Lin said happily; he had never eaten at such a high-end place before!
"Of course," Chen Haoxuan confirmed.
As for what to do next, Chen Haoxuan had already informed them, so they began answering questions from online users. With Hua Lingwei's team joining in, Chen Yina felt a lot less pressure.
Tomorrow was August 11th, and many people were looking forward to the auction, so today there were particularly many users visiting Chen Haoxuan's website to catch the latest news.
Outside Chen Haoxuan's home, there were many media outlets waiting. They were stopped by Jiang Dong and his team from entering and disturbing Chen Haoxuan. Fortunately, Chen Haoxuan had hired 30 retired soldiers as security again; otherwise, with just Jiang Dong and his two companions (Lin Hao was still in the hospital recovering), they wouldn't have been able to hold back so many media representatives. It was worth noting that among these media outlets were not only Chinese ones but also a large number of foreign media; nearly a thousand news organizations showed up today.
Zhou Xiang and Hua Tianyu were both very interested in Chen Haoxuan's auction. They knew their daughters were helping him and wanted to see how he organized the auction, so they drove to Chen Haoxuan's residence. Zhou Xiang and his group were also stopped by Jiang Dong and his team from entering.
Zhou Xiang struggled through the crowd until he spotted Jiang Dong. He immediately approached him and said, "Comrade, we've met before at Chen Family Village. I'm Zhou Xiang—you don't remember? Can you let me in?"
"Please wait a moment; I'll go inside and inform Boss Chen," Jiang Dong politely replied to Zhou Xiang before turning to enter the house. He remembered Zhou Xiang and knew he was the richest man in New City, but without Chen Haoxuan's consent, even if the world's richest person came, they wouldn't let him in. This was because Chen Haoxuan had shown them loyalty and provided them with high-paying jobs.
Once inside, Jiang Dong walked over to Chen Haoxuan and respectfully said, "Boss Chen, Zhou Xiang from Zhou Group is here. He wants to come in to see you. Should I let him in?"
At the dining table, Zhou Kexin heard Jiang Dong's words and immediately replied to him, "That's my dad, of course, let him in!"
"They're all acquaintances, just let him in!" Chen Haoxuan said with a faint smile.
With Chen Haoxuan's approval, Jiang Dong returned to the door and said to Zhou Xiang, "Boss Zhou, our Boss invites you to come in and sit down, please." Jiang Dong even made a gesture inviting him in.
"Um, I still have a friend outside! Can you help me bring him over?" Zhou Xiang said somewhat awkwardly. The person he referred to was Hua Tianyu, and he was secretly looking down on Hua Tianyu for being so skinny while still being stuck outside when he himself had managed to squeeze in.
"No problem, but what's your friend's name?" Jiang Dong asked.
"His name is Hua Tianyu; you should know him. He went with me to Chen Family Village last time," Zhou Xiang replied with a smile.
"Why don't you come in first?" Jiang Dong said politely.
After Zhou Xiang came in, Jiang Dong said to him, "Boss Zhou, could you give your Boss Hua a call? Tell him to go to the back of the room; there's a back door there."
"Of course, no problem." Zhou Xiang said as he took out his phone and dialed Hua Tianyu's number: "Lao Hua, you're really slacking off! I've already squeezed in; why are you still outside? Don't try to squeeze in anymore; just go to the back of the house! There's a back door there."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang saw that Chen Haoxuan and the others were busy. He spoke up to Chen Haoxuan, saying, "Xuan, I'm here to learn how to do business from you!"
"Boss Zhou, you're joking. How can my small business compare to your big business? If anyone should be learning, it's me from you!" Chen Haoxuan humbly replied.
"You sell a Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda for several hundred million; my entire family fortune combined might not even reach that! I'm not afraid of losing face; I really am here to learn from you because I only do business in reality. I truly know nothing about doing business online," Zhou Xiang said modestly.
Chen Haoxuan and Zhou Xiang had just exchanged a few words when Jiang Dong entered through the back door with Hua Tianyu. Upon seeing his daughter, Hua Tianyu silently mouthed a phrase to her, which, judging by his lip movements, was likely "Do your best." His intention was clear: work hard and outshine others to attract Chen Haoxuan's attention.
Noticing Hua Tianyu's arrival, Chen Haoxuan stood up and said to them, "Please sit down; I'll get you some coffee."
Zhou Xiang and Hua Tianyu took seats opposite where Chen Haoxuan had just been sitting. Curious, Hua Tianyu moved Chen Haoxuan's laptop in front of him. When he saw the screen filled with strange numbers, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What is this? I can't make sense of it at all."
At that moment, Chen Yina was seriously answering a question from an online user. She hadn't noticed that Hua Tianyu had moved Chen Haoxuan's laptop until she heard his voice. The strange numbers he referred to were part of a program that Chen Haoxuan had been working on for a long time without completion. If Hua Tianyu accidentally deleted any of that code, Chen Haoxuan would have to start all over again.
This made Chen Yina very anxious; she worried that Hua Tianyu might delete Chen Haoxuan's work. She quickly called out to him, "Boss Hua, please don't touch that; it's Brother Xuan's program."
"Program? It looks like astronomical numbers; I can't understand it," Hua Tianyu frowned and replied. Hearing Chen Yina's warning made him concerned about damaging the program, so he returned the laptop to its original position.
Chen Haoxuan prepared ten cups of coffee at once, one for each person. He sat back down in his previous spot and joked with Zhou Xiang and the others, "How many billions are you planning to offer me for my Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda tomorrow?"
"If it goes over five hundred million Renminbi, then I won't want it. It's not that I don't want it; it's just that I can't afford it!" Zhou Xiang said with a mournful expression. He intended to buy it not for appreciation but to resell it at a higher price after creating some hype around it, hoping to make a significant profit.
