Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

Jiang An walked out from the backstage and went straight back to his seat. At this time, Lin Xixi gently pulled him and asked curiously: "The old man just looked for you, is there something?"

Jiang An smiled calmly, "It's nothing, don't worry."

He took out a bank card from his pocket and said, "This is what Grandpa Zhang just gave me. It's more convenient to transfer money with this card. Since we are auctioning here, it may not be convenient to use personal bank cards."

Lin Xixi pouted and said with some dissatisfaction: "Teacher Jiang, do you think I'm a fool? Which bank card can't transfer money? You must have said that on purpose."

Jiang An hesitated for a moment. He naturally couldn't tell Lin Xixi about his current financial situation, so he explained from another angle: "The transfer limit of his bank card is higher than mine. We can buy whatever you like later."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lin Xixi believed it, and the two of them continued to devote themselves to the auction.

At this time, the items on the stage were replaced by a set of exquisite replicas of combined chimes.

This set of chime bells is completely modeled after the set of chime bells found in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. It is a one-to-one replica and has a strong sense of history.

In a movie several years ago, chimes appeared as a key prop.

It is said that the original cost of making this set of chimes was as high as millions, but now the starting price is only six figures, which undoubtedly set off a small climax at the auction.

"What do you think of this set of chimes?"

With the bank card given by Grandpa Zhang in his pocket, Jiang An spoke with confidence, as if he had turned into a domineering president.

But Lin Xixi shook her head and said, "Forget it, Teacher Jiang. It's not appropriate to keep such a large item at home, and we don't seem to have a suitable place to put it."

"You're right." Jiang An responded with a smile.

The atmosphere at the auction site was still lively, with people competing to raise their placards. More than an hour passed and the auction was still going on.

Finally, the first half of the auction came to an end.

During the half-time break, Jiang An, under the guidance of Mr. Zhang, communicated with many people.

Although it was just a brief conversation, Jiang An and Lin Xixi left an excellent impression on everyone.

An industrialist said to Jiang An: "Young man, work hard. You have achieved so much at such a young age, and your future must be limitless. But remember, no matter what kind of business you are in, you must be honest, especially in your game industry, you must not take the path of krypton gold to make money."

Jiang An was impressed by the industrialist.

Mr. Zhang introduced that he owns several large cotton yarn factories in Shanghai. Although cotton yarn is inconspicuous, it is closely related to people's lives and is also an important strategic material.

Those who are able to operate such factories on a large scale usually have stable government orders.

This undoubtedly enhanced the status of the industrialist.

Jiang An even felt that there was no need to delve into his specific business, as he was much stronger than himself.

"Don't worry," Jiang An responded with a smile, "the current gaming model is different from the past. Although there are still krypton gold games, all products produced by our company, including projects under development, rely on advertising fees for profit. We rarely charge gamers directly."

The businessman laughed. "Young man, although I don't quite understand what you said, I can see that you are sincere when you say these words. I like sincere young people like you. The business world is like a battlefield, but the foundation of survival is not intrigue and deception, but sincerity and integrity."

"Okay, I will keep your words in mind. Thank you very much for your teachings."

Jiang An bowed respectfully to the industrialist to express his humility and gratitude.

"Yes, Not Bad."

The businessman patted Mr. Zhang on the shoulder and said, "If you find young people like this in the future, please introduce more to me. We old guys have already established ourselves. What we lack most now is young people with such insight."

"Don't worry, if I meet such a young man, I will definitely introduce him to you. However, it is indeed rare to find someone as outstanding as him." Mr. Zhang sighed.

Mr. Zhang's words made the faces of the old men around him look a little sad.

Yes, the world nowadays has become so impetuous. Young people either lack fighting spirit or are blindly impulsive as if they were injected with chicken blood. They lack planning, and some are too arrogant and domineering.

Jiang An was deeply touched by everyone's discussions, but as a junior, he chose to remain silent, believing that this was the most appropriate way.

Soon, the second half of the auction began.

Compared with the first half, the atmosphere in the second half was obviously more lively, as many people had already bought their favorite items in the first half.

Although this is a charity auction, everyone's enthusiasm remains undiminished.

Jiang An understands that no matter what everyone’s purpose is, as long as they can actively participate and contribute their own strength to public welfare, it is worthy of recognition.

However, Lin Xixi was curious about this.

She looked at everyone raising their placards and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Jiang, why are you so enthusiastic? You are so generous for charity. Look, those items just now were sold at high prices of several million. This money can help many people."

Jiang An looked at Lin Xixi, her eyes full of curiosity and innocence, and he couldn't bear to break her beautiful understanding of the world.

However, as her husband, Jiang An felt it was his responsibility to reveal the truth to her.

He whispered softly in Lin Xixi's ear: "Everyone is really enthusiastic about this charity auction. We must first affirm everyone's support for charity, but there is one thing you can't ignore."

Lin Xixi blinked her big watery eyes and looked at him curiously and eagerly, "What is it?"

Jiang An sighed and explained, "In the past, if the donation came from an individual's pocket, it was purely for charity. But if it was done through the company's account, the output of this charity fund can help them reduce a lot of taxes. Now many companies do charity work, and their purpose is not so pure."

After listening to Jiang An's explanation, the glow on Lin Xixi's face disappeared.

This was what Jiang An least wanted to see, but he felt he had to let her know.

He couldn't let Lin Xixi only know those bright and aboveboard things; she should also understand some gray areas.

This was not for any other reason, but because Jiang An was not sure whether he could be with her all the time. If something unexpected happened, he would regret it deeply.

While the two were talking, the auctioneer on the stage took out the next item for auction - the sword used by the protagonist in the movie "The Myth".

This sword had protected the princess in the movie and was an important prop in that classic scene. When Lin Xixi saw the sword, golden light instantly burst out in her eyes.

In fact, when this sword appeared at the auction, Jiang An guessed that Lin Xixi would definitely like it.

When they were traveling in the north before, they spent a lot of money to buy a genuine official sword just because Lin Xixi liked it.

At that time, although the price of hundreds of thousands was not cheap, Jiang An had no regrets. As long as Lin Xixi liked it and it was within his ability, he was willing to satisfy all her preferences.

After the host gave a detailed introduction to the origin and characteristics of the sword, the auctioneer gave a starting price of three hundred thousand.

This price may not sound too high to most people, but in the field of sword collection, there are not many swords that can be sold at this price.

Especially for a movie prop sword like this, it is rare to get this price.

After all, there are certain differences in the design and production of movie props and actual combat or ornamental swords. Their main purpose is to meet the needs of filming, while also taking into account the actors' experience.

"Xiaolin, do you particularly like this sword?"

Jiang An asked softly, while gently pushing Lin Xixi.

Lin Xixi was a little dazed, and only reacted after being pushed. She looked at Jiang An shyly.

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's intentions.

Lin Xixi's eyes were full of gratitude towards Jiang An, and Jiang An responded with a silent promise.

At this moment, needless to say, Jiang An has made up his mind that no matter what the final price of the sword is, he will try his best to buy it for Lin Xixi.

This is not only because she likes it, but also because Jiang An wants to tell her through this gift that no matter when and where, he will be by her side, supporting her and accompanying her.
