Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

"Excuse me, ladies, can we have a drink together?"

While the two were talking, a male voice suddenly came to their ears. It was a gentleman who looked very elegant. He had a pair of rimless glasses on his nose, wore a dark blue suit, held a glass of red wine in his hand, and was followed by a man dressed as a bodyguard.

He had a polite smile on his face, and they didn't say anything, but raised their glasses and clinked them with his.

"Thank you. Hello, my name is Lin Zhixu."

"Hello." The two greeted him.

"It seems like... you don't have a dance partner?" He glanced at the people next to them and knew at a glance that they were servants.

"Can't we two girls keep each other company?" Joysa replied.

"...Of course," he pushed up his glasses, "but I have a request, I want to..." He looked at Luo Xin, "I want to ask this lady for a favor, I don't know if it's convenient."

Luo Xin asked curiously: "How can I help you?"

"I will try to get a chance to dance in the opening dance later. When the time comes, I would like to invite you to be my dance partner."

Luo Xin choked. She had just been discussing with Qiao Yisha who would be the one to spend money lavishly, and now he came to her door.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lin Zhixu continued to ask, "Do you have any doubts? I have no ill intentions, I just happen to be in need of a dance partner."

"There are so many people here, why are you looking for me?" Luo Xin asked him.

"It's fate that I happened to walk here and saw you, a beautiful woman. So, I hope you can do me a favor."

Luo Xin is indeed very beautiful, with a pair of big watery eyes, thick eyelashes, a straight nose, and waist-length brown curly hair draped over her shoulders. She looks like a walking doll, but she is more lively and lovely than a doll.

She thought about it and said, "If you can get it, I will help you."

Lin Zhixu smiled and said, "I will definitely succeed, even if it's just to dance with you."

"Haha, good luck to you then." Luo Xing raised his glass.

"Excuse me, see you later." Lin Zhixu nodded to them, turned and walked into the crowd.

"My luck with women has always been pretty good," Joysa said with a smile.

"That's right. I, Luo Xin, am the most beautiful and charming wherever I go." She said, shaking her head and curling her red lips.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage and his voice spread throughout the hall through the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this ball. We are honored to be gathered here to revel together in this joyous and romantic night."

"Next, I will make an announcement. All the money and jewelry raised from the auction of the opening dance qualification tonight will be donated to charity organizations. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to this unknown gentleman or lady on behalf of the charity organizations."

At this time, the staff of the dance party distributed a placard to each table to participate in the auction.

"Now, let's wait and see who will be the one to get the first dance and who will be his dance partner."

The host raised his hand slightly, "The starting price is 800,000. Each time you raise your hand, the price will increase by 500,000. If you are using jewelry as collateral, we have a professional jewelry appraiser on site to set the price. The auction begins now."

As soon as the host finished speaking, dozens of tables' nameplates were raised by their respective servants.

"One million and three hundred thousand."

The signs were lowered a little, but at the same time some were added.

The host kept quoting the price: "One million and eight hundred thousand."

"Two million three hundred thousand."

"Two million eight hundred thousand"

……

"Four million three hundred thousand."

"Oh my God, how much will it cost in the end with this method of adding money?" Joysa couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Maybe it's nothing to them. When will we be able to spend money like water?" Luo Xin said enviously.

As they talked, the price continued to rise.

"Six million seven hundred thousand."

"Seven million two hundred thousand."

Not far from them, at a square table, sat two men, one in black and the other in white suits. One of them was noble and charming, leaning lazily on the back of a chair, shaking a wine glass in his hand, watching the scene nonchalantly.

The man next to him was dressed in spotless white, his blond hair and gold jewelry shining under the light.

There seems to be a mysterious aura surrounding them, which makes people feel daunted.

"Uncle, are you so worried about Isa coming out? Not only did you follow her secretly, but you also dragged me along."

Nangong Xianyue glanced at him, "Secretly? I walked in openly through the main door."

"Then why don't you go find her? Why are you dragging me here to drink alone?"

"If you hadn't ruined my plan, would she have followed that little fool out?" Nangong Xianyue snorted coldly.

"I didn't know you guys started so early..." Mogaxianer defended, "You called Luo Xin a little fool? How is she stupid?"

"Aren't you stupid to be so tactless?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Uncle, please don't give people nicknames randomly, although... although she is sometimes quite stupid." Mogaxianer said to Luo Xing in the distance.

"Sir, may I invite you to dance for a moment?" A charming and plump young woman came over, exuding an aura of wealth, and threw a coquettish glance at Nangong Xianyue.

Nangong Xianyue wore a mask as usual when going out, revealing only her thin lips and angular jawline, which made people more imaginative.

Moga Xianer looked over and whispered to him, "Beauty, why didn't you invite me and tell me that I can't sit with you?"

“Then you go.” Nangong Xianyue tilted her head.

"Hey, sir, please at least respond." The woman put her hand directly on Nangong Xianyue's shoulder, her every frown and smile showing her mature charm.

Nangong Xianyue was about to brush her hand away when his eyes swept over Qiao Yisha. He paused, raised his eyes and curled his lips at the woman, "I just promised a lady to dance the opening dance with her."

Mogaxianer was stunned when he heard this. When did he promise anyone? Why didn’t he see it?

The woman understood as soon as she heard it, and thought that Nangong Xianyue was a gigolo and was hinting to her that he only danced the opening dance with rich women.

She raised an eyebrow, "I'm determined to get you."

At this time, the auction price of the opening dance has reached tens of millions.

She turned around and gave the bodyguard behind her a warning, and the bodyguard immediately raised the sign and shouted, "30 million."

Mogaxianer exclaimed, "Wow, she's a rich woman." He gave a thumbs up, "Sister, keep going."

The woman smiled smugly.

The bodyguard's voice attracted the attention of the host and all the guests present. For a moment, everyone looked in that direction.

Among the guests, the signs were put down sparsely.

Only about ten tables were still holding up their signs.

Of course, some people put down their signs because they don’t have enough financial resources, but others just feel it’s unnecessary.

Even when the price reached a stratospheric level, the bidding did not stop.

"Thirty-two million."

……

"Thirty-five and a half million."

"Thirty-six million."

Qiao Yisha and Luo Xin also noticed the bodyguard holding the sign. They looked over curiously and saw two familiar people. Both Qiao Yisha and Luo Xin were surprised.
