"Chen Jianlin."

Having called out to Chen Jianlin, Gong Yue pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "Look at the way he's dressed. Does he look like someone who could have received an invitation?"

Chen Jianlin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He looked approvingly at Gong Yue and turned to find the organizers of the auction.

"Good evening, sir! Could you please show me your invitation?"

A while later, Chen Jianlin returned with the staff from the organizers, who frowned upon seeing Jiang Chen. Dressed so plainly, he definitely didn't look like an invited guest.

Jiang Chen glanced at Chen Jianlin, understanding that he was looking for trouble, and turned to the staff member and said indifferently, "I don't have an invitation; I was invited by someone."

"Haha, someone invited you? Who would invite someone like you? I bet you snuck in, right?" Chen Jianlin mocked outright.

"Exactly, he must have sneaked in!" While Chen Jianlin brought the staff member to confront Jiang Chen, the surrounding crowd turned their attention back to them. Upon hearing Chen Jianlin's words, Li Hao in the crowd immediately shouted out loud.

"That guy couldn't have really sneaked in, could he?"

"It's possible, look at his clothes. He doesn't look like someone who would be invited!"

"But Miss Lin was just standing next to him a moment ago!"

"Heh, someone who sneaks into parties like he did, what else could he be after? Isn't it just to rely on his decent looks to hook up with rich young ladies? If you want to hook up with rich young ladies, you've got to have some charm, right?"

"That's true, looks like this guy is just a pretty boy looking for a meal ticket!"

The surrounding people, upon hearing the words of Chen Jianlin and Li Hao, started whispering among themselves, looking at Jiang Chen with disdain.

And Gong Yue, who was amongst the crowd enjoying the drama, burst into laughter upon hearing their discussions!

Haha, Jiang Chen, you're finally going to get what's coming to you!

Jiang Chen ignored Chen Jianlin and calmly said to the staff member, "I really was invited here. If you don't believe me, you can..."

"Stop lying! How could someone like you be invited? Get out of here right now!" Chen Jianlin interrupted Jiang Chen before he could finish, shouting angrily.

The staff member also looked coldly at Jiang Chen, his eyes full of scorn. He didn't believe Jiang Chen's claims of being invited.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light as he turned to look at Chen Jianlin.

Chen Jianlin raised his head, his face full of contempt as he said, "What are you looking at? Who would invite a poor sod like you? Get lost. Don't think that just because you exchanged a few words with Miss Lin earlier you belong here. You don't even deserve to pass through these doors!"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.

Everyone turned to look and saw Lin Bingrui walking over with a stern face alongside Lin Zhiyan.

Chen Jianlin was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle Lin, what brings you here?"

"Humph!" Lin Bingrui glared at Chen Jianlin and snorted coldly, paying him no attention as he took steps towards Jiang Chen. "Mr. Jiang, I apologize."

Bowing slightly to Jiang Chen, Lin Bingrui then turned and glared at the staff member with a steely face: "Mr. Jiang is my guest. Are you trying to kick out my guest?"

The staff member turned pale and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, of course not!"

"Go away!" Lin Bingrui ordered sternly.

The staff member quickly bowed to Jiang Chen, apologized, and hurriedly walked away.

Chen Jianlin was dumbfounded and looked at Lin Bingrui in disbelief.

What, what's going on? Who is that kid? Why is Uncle Lin being so polite to him? How is this possible? Could it be... Uncle Lin intends to marry Miss Lin off to that youngster?

Thinking of a possibility, Chen Jianlin's face completely darkened, and he glared viciously at Jiang Chen not far away.

"He was invited by President Lin?"

"How is this possible? He's actually a guest of President Lin?!"

"No wonder Miss Lin was following him just now!"

"That's right, Chen Jianlin has kicked an iron plate this time. Not only did he fail to press down on others, but he also made Miss Lin despise him even more!"

The crowd in the outer hall was full of astonishment. After they recovered, they began whispering again, their faces filled with disbelief.

Li Hao shrank his neck and directly hid behind someone next to him, avoiding the place where Jiang Chen could see him, fearing that Jiang Chen would trouble him because of what had just happened. His heart was filled with shock!

That Jiang Chen had somehow become Lin Bingrui's guest, and Lin Bingrui was so polite to him? What the hell is going on!? What on earth has that guy done?

Gong Yue was also dumbstruck, staring blankly at Jiang Chen's indifferent expression, a very inexplicable feeling surging in her heart.

This guy, how does he know everybody? Lin Bingrui is the overlord of Dingjing's powers! How could he be so respectful to him? What's the situation here? What on earth has that guy done?

After sending the staff away, Lin Bingrui glanced over the people present, and the outer hall instantly quieted down.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm truly sorry!" Lin Bingrui apologized to Jiang Chen once more and gestured to Jiang Chen, "Let Zhi Yan stay by your side. She can accompany you throughout the auction to help you avoid some unnecessary trouble!"

Jiang Chen nodded casually, which was taken as an agreement.

Lin Bingrui gave Lin Zhiyan a look and then turned to leave. It was not quite suitable for him to stay here as the gathering consisted of younger people.

Seeing Lin Bingrui leave Lin Zhiyan behind to accompany Jiang Chen, Chen Jianlin felt his teeth itch with rage as he glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, his eyes nearly spitting fire.

Gong Yue glanced at Lin Zhiyan, who was standing beside Jiang Chen, and then at Chen Jianlin, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted. She knew Chen Jianlin and his temper. This matter, she feared, was far from over!

After Lin Bingrui left, no one else dared to trouble Jiang Chen. Knowing that even Lin Bingrui, the power overlord, paid respect to him, seeking troubles with Jiang Chen would be courting death!

So, a few young masters and misses approached Jiang Chen to chat, trying to pry some information about who Jiang Chen was and why he was invited by Lin Bingrui.

Little did they know, Jiang Chen had no interest in being superficially polite with these people and went straight to a table to start eating again.

The crowd was once again taken aback, wanting to seek out Lin Zhiyan, but unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyan also joined Jiang Chen and began to eat.

Damn it, what's going on here?

The Lin Family's Miss has actually become the companion for this kid's eating, drinking, and chatting?

That's like an escort service!

Everyone was thoroughly dumbfounded, and those who wanted to find out Jiang Chen's limits were also unsuccessful.

"This guy really isn't afraid of offending people!" Gong Yue glared hard at Jiang Chen's back, although she really wanted to shout out that Jiang Chen was the son-in-law of the Gong Family. But after thinking it over, she chose not to reveal that Jiang Chen was Gong Lin's husband; Chen Jianlin was currently holding a grudge against Jiang Chen, and she didn't want him to start holding a grudge against the Gong Family instead.

A little while later, a staff member came to the outer hall and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin. Please enter the inner hall and take your seats."

The crowd poured into the banquet hall's inner hall.
