Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite
Chapter 247 - 69: Mischievous Flirtation
CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 69: MISCHIEVOUS FLIRTATION
The new book "Unlimited Military Road" has been uploaded, I’m asking for your support. It’s a military-themed web novel that shuttles through five thousand years of Eastern and Western world history.
Fu Zi is not greedy, I just want to promote my new book, hoping to get some collections, recommendations, and comments. It’s a piece that I struggled to write, and I’m still facing writer’s block. The plot and characters are more refined and creative than a socialite’s story. I want to write a book in my own style, one that develops locally, and I need your bricks, Flowers, and saliva. Thank you, everyone.

"I’m not going," Su Ziceng said, looking at the auction invitation card that Yan Wuxu somehow acquired.
"Why not?" Yan Wuxu flipped the card, which bore the Subi Auction House’s logo, back and forth, "I heard that many people are going. Plus, we can also see what good stuff Chang Chi has managed to collect."
From Yan Wuxu’s perspective, it made sense for Su Ziceng to go; after all, being able to clearly see Subi’s pricing and the customers’ reactions during the auction would be very valuable reference for Su Ziceng when she plans to hold her own auctions in the future.
These were things Su Ziceng had also considered, but today, she got news from Secretary Wang. It turned out that in addition to Chang Mei, Hang Yishao was also helping Chang Chi prepare for this auction. If she attended, she would inevitably run into Hang Yishao. She didn’t want to watch Chang Chi’s smugness in the presence of all these people.
"You already know?" Yan Wuxu noticed something from Su Ziceng’s expression.
"One always hears some rumors," Su Ziceng felt a bit uncomfortable under Yan Wuxu’s gaze, thinking that Mo City really isn’t that big—just step outside and you could hear the wind stirring the grass.
"Then you should even more so go. Why let Chang Chi show off there? We can also employ some tactics behind the scenes," Yan Wuxu urged without sparing any effort.
To go or not to go? Su Ziceng was hesitating. At this moment, Chang Chi also returned home and saw Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu sitting in the garden. Unlike her usual disdainful departure, this time she deliberately approached Su Ziceng and spoke in a flaunting manner.
"Tomorrow I’m holding an auction. Yishao will be there to help. It’s a pity that you won’t be able to grace us with your presence. What a shame," she said, then turned around, leaving behind a strong scent of Chanel perfume.
"Only Chang Chi could use perfume like a nuclear bomb," complained Yan Wuxu, who was not used to the intense fragrance.
"We’re going together tomorrow," Su Ziceng gazed at the conspicuous invitation card, thinking that Chang Chi wanted to prevent her from attending? Then she would go. Confronting Hang Yishao head-on wasn’t new to her, but this time she was determined not to make the same foolish mistake as before.
Less than a year later, Su Bi Auction House held another unique auction. However, this time, unlike the last time, it was not organized by Chang Mei, but by Chang Chi alone.
Su Ziceng also wondered if Chang Mei was intentionally training Chang Chi’s abilities, or trying to show Su Qingzhang that even without her behind-the-scenes support, her Xiao Chi could already stand on her own.
Compared to the last time, this auction attracted more young attendees, indicating that formal attire was required, which also limited some ordinary people from entering the auction venue.
When Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu entered the auction venue, they also noticed this point. Chang Chi distributed invitations almost exclusively to celebrities, which naturally led to the loss of some regular buyers.
Looking at the products, all of them were standard auction items, but among them was one piece that caught Su Ziceng by surprise - Chang Chi’s favorite Colorful Eggs.
"She actually brought out this set of Colorful Eggs for auction," among a host of valuable auction items, what Su Ziceng noticed was a set not even listed on the auction leaflet.
"A set of Colorful Eggs, what’s the big deal?" Yan Wuxu also saw the auction item, which was a limited edition set of five, commonly collected by wealthy young girls during their childhood.
"This set is quite different. It’s a limited edition my father brought back for us from abroad. I used to have one too," Su Ziceng looked at the stream of guests heading into the auction room with a particularly bright smile, "But later, my set was accidentally broken by Chang Chi." A set of porcelain enameled gold Colorful Eggs could easily be "accidentally" broken.
