High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

There are also awards; though they are just for show, their value surely isn’t low.

Participate my ass!

Not to mention his current strength isn’t enough, even if it was, he wouldn’t participate.

Not winning the championship would greatly damage his reputation.

What if he did win? Wouldn’t that reignite the hype for LOL that had started to die down? Wouldn’t that be shooting himself in the foot?

He personally has no interest in that medal.

However... Why didn’t the Asian Games project include PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?

Damn it, it’s bullying, right? The Asian Games are hosting a bunch of Western games but not a local one?

Contact them quickly; there should still be time to arrange it now, even if it’s just a demonstration match.

Pay money to get it included.

What a great opportunity to provide emotional value—just a bit of emotional value can boost the event’s worth by billions.

He works at Extreme Shadow Cars, swinging his wrench till it smokes, and couldn’t earn that much in a lifetime.

Thus, he mentioned it to Bai Qing, asking Bai Qing to send a representative to negotiate with the Asian Games project team.

Anyway, if the competition happens, he’d be graduated by then, and would have the time.

Unbeknownst to him, time quickly passed to the eighth day of lunar January.

This is a good day, the first eight of the year, gotta seize every opportunity to get rich.

In the Extreme Shadow Shaking Light’s customer service app, an announcement appeared.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia’s charity dinner will be auctioned; six spots are available, with a starting bid of zero dollars. Once secured, payment is required within seven days. All proceeds will be used for charity, with details disclosed on the app.

If payment is not made within seven days, it’s considered forfeited, and the auction will resume. The final dinner will be arranged on May 18, 2018, with the latest date for finalized names being May 7.

Starting at eight in the evening, the starting bid began rising, from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand, then up to tens of thousands.

It was a minor affair, hardly anyone talked about it.

In the half-hour auction time, it went until shortly past eight twenty, when suddenly the price soared from over two million to a hundred million.

At eight thirty, the top six spots were officially secured.

First place at a hundred million, second at twelve million, third at six million, sixth barely over two million.

"Master Li, you wanted to earn ten billion, but it turns out we aren’t that valuable, right?"

Li Yang laughed and said, "Wait and see, I’ll definitely sell us off for ten billion!"

"But they locked in the spots, so there can’t be any follow-up auctions, right?"

"They won’t really lock them—they mostly do it for fun, except for the first place one."

"Huh?"

"Just watch, it’s their only chance; there won’t be such a cheap deal again."

After the new year, Li Yang didn’t go to Jiangbei due to Jiang Banxia being too busy—it couldn’t always be left to her.

And so, the fifteenth day of lunar January arrived.

The second charity dinner spots auction.

It went much as Li Yang anticipated, but with a slight deviation.

That deviation being the sixth spot was locked!

Seeing the locked spot information, Li Yang was a bit at a loss for words.

Was it worth it?

Zheng Dasheng didn’t lock any, preferring the on-the-fly approach—pre-locking affects capital flow, better to just drag it out over many attempts.

Thus, five spots went back on auction.

With so many unlocked spots, everyone treated it even more as a fun game.

If the hundred-million spot was locked, perhaps one or two more would’ve locked, curious to see who spent a hundred million in folly.

Li Yang chose from a fairly wealthy clientele, with millionaires and even billionaires present.

Yet, Li Yang’s influence among the rich circles was just average—if Jack Ma were involved, billion-dollar moguls might have shown up.

Those looking for opportunities with Li Yang were mostly ordinary folks.

Even if wealthy, still just ordinary folks.

And the wealth ceiling for average people is just that much.

No matter how impressive his talent was.

Like Jiang Banxia, capped at over twenty billion; if Li Yang hadn’t later helped direct her path, she wouldn’t even hit twenty billion, just seven or eight billion at most.

Li Yang himself is an average person, but he’s like a cheat code, so no upper limit exists, purely depending on his luck and resilience.

Therefore, he absolutely needs to spend the money he earns.

This time at the auction, quickly five people bid over a hundred million.

Eventually finalizing the top five.

Jiang Banxia watched from the side: "Could it be the top five are just the ghost bidders you hired?"

"Huh? How could that be! It’s clearly others seeing our value!"

After saying that, Li Yang continued to reply to messages.

Plenty of consultations, dozens every day, especially as Extreme Shadow Shaking Light deliveries increased—the app’s users also grew.

For seeking medical and educational resources, Li Yang asked Xiangnu and Song Yu for help—after all, Xiangnu ate a meal from him, couldn’t eat for free.

Li Yang does the consulting himself, though he might find someone to help filter it later.

He still has a foresight advantage of ten years, making these consultations effortless for him.

He focuses on three directions specifically.

One is technology, another is medicine, the last one is finance.

Next, he intends to integrate resources in these three directions as much as possible.

Jiang Banxia’s bored resting her head on Li Yang’s shoulder, sees the CEO personally doing consulting work—it feels unpleasant.

She nuzzles his cheek, trying to give Li Yang some comfort.

Then she starts feeling something herself.

Obviously a moment ago still feeling bad, but the next moment...

She felt a bit unworthy.

Li Yang was a bit bewildered himself.

Turned to look, finding Jiang Banxia’s eyes seemed to be dripping with emotion.

"What’s up? Are you poisoned?"

"Um..."
