I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 347: Auction

At this moment, the auction hall had already gathered hundreds of people, all influential individuals from Sea City and the surrounding cities.

Of course, besides these people, there were also many media personnel and some journalists who were obviously invited to come.

"Ye Chen, please sign an autograph for me."

Just as he entered the auction hall, Ye Chen was immediately surrounded by a group of journalists, each one hurriedly handing over paper and pens, asking Ye Chen for his signature.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting to encounter his own fans here. He casually took a pen, wrote down his name, and then quickly squeezed out from the midst of the journalists.

And he did not know, his action today completely exploded in the entertainment circle!

"My gosh! I actually saw Ye Chen in person here! I’ve saved his photos for over a decade! I never thought I’d be lucky enough to meet him in person!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, this man is really so handsome! Even handsomer than my idol, I swear, he will be my most admired idol for life."

"You bunch of low-brow vulgar fans know nothing, Ye Chen is all about being low-key. Have you ever seen a super rich second generation dressing in sportswear to appear? This is clearly a low-key hidden tycoon!"

"The one upstairs, you know nothing, this is called having taste!"

"..."

Various kinds of discussion filled the air non-stop.

Listening to the discussions around her, Lin Yuqing couldn’t help but roll her eyes, somewhat amused and said, "Ye Chen, what is going on?"

"Cough cough... These people are fans who like watching my fishing live streams," Ye Chen coughed and said.

Lin Yuqing was slightly startled, surprised she asked, "Really?"

"Yes, look they all have my videos on their phones," Ye Chen pointed at the crowd nearby.

Following where Ye Chen pointed, Lin Yuqing indeed saw many smartphone screens lit up, one of which was the gaming video she watched last night.

However, what made her even more speechless were the videos, all equipped with various kinds of captions and bullet comments.

’Streamer, carry me’: Streamer 666666, I knew it, Ye Chen could definitely take the crown.

’Streamer, you are freaking awesome, haha, your skill is off the charts, not only did you turn Shark TV into a sieve but you also stirred up a storm in the live streaming world – you’re literally a grandee!’

’Streamer, so mighty and domineering, please add me on QQ, I want to be your little fan girl’

’Streamer, can you send me a gift? I want to have your monkeys’

’I want a gift too, streamer look I’m pretty, can you take me in?’

...

Seeing the comments in the bullet section, Lin Yuqing almost spewed out blood, she never expected the usually quiet Ye Chen could attract such fanatics.

"Wow, didn’t expect you to have so many little fan girls," Lin Yuqing glared at Ye Chen with a grievous look.

Ye Chen awkwardly smiled and said, "Actually, they are not gold-diggers who love vanity, it’s just because I am handsome. I also don’t know how to refuse them, maybe, you could help me?"

"Get lost!" Lin Yuqing glared fiercely at him.

...

Meanwhile, more people were gradually entering the auction hall.

Ye Chen and Lin Yuqing found a corner and sat down.

"Ye Chen, are we going to go on stage to auction things soon?" Lin Yuqing asked after sitting down.

Ye Chen touched his nose and said with a laugh, "What? Scared?"

Lin Yuqing huffed and arrogantly raised her neck, "Scared of what? It’s not my money anyway."

Seeing this, Ye Chen found it amusing and teased, "You’re just being obstinate!"

"Hey! Ye Chen, if you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll hit you!" Lin Yuqing pretended to be angry, then spoke seriously, "But, I’m really worried that Grandpa might agree to our marriage."

"Don’t worry, even if your grandpa disagrees, he will have to agree!" Ye Chen confidently said. After all, Old Master Lin had once promised him that there would be no obstacles to his engagement with Lin Yuqing as long as Ye Chen could present enough money!

Although Lin Yuqing found Ye Chen’s reply odd, she nodded and said, "In that case, let’s just quietly enjoy the show."

Just then, the doors of the auction suddenly opened, and a young man dressed extravagantly and wearing sunglasses slowly walked in.

He had a stern and charming face, a tall figure, and an aura of arrogance that made many people in the room take notice.

"Look, isn’t that Li Ling, the richest man from Yanjing, from the Li Family? What’s he doing at a charity auction?"

"Li Ling? Could it be that today’s charity auction is organized by Li Ling?"

"Rumors say that Li Ling is here to participate in the auction for a precious item."

Li Ling walked straight to a round table in front of the stage, sat down, then took off his sunglasses revealing a pair of narrow, icy eyes and looked down at the crowd indifferently saying:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Li Ling, am honored to invite everyone here to join this grand event. I hope everyone can donate generously to help the orphanage!"

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted at the auction.

"Mr. Li, we are deeply grateful that you graced our charity auction with your presence! I have brought thirty million in donations, please accept it, Mr. Li."

A middle-aged man wearing a designer suit with slicked-back hair stood up and said cheerfully.

Hearing this, Li Ling slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "So it’s Mr. Huang! We’ve been in collaboration for many years, no need for formalities, please sit down."

After saying that, Li Ling shifted his gaze elsewhere, as if he didn’t really regard Mr. Huang at all.

This made Mr. Huang’s face slightly awkward. Although he was wealthy, he couldn’t compare to Li Ling who was the heir to one of the four major families in Yanjing, the Li Family—how could a mere businessman compare?

On seeing this, Mr. Huang reluctantly sat down.

Following that, many others eagerly presented their donations to Li Ling, resulting in a radiant smile on Li Ling’s face.

"It seems all these people want to curry favor with Li Ling," remarked Lin Yuqing with a soft sigh, noticing that Li Ling indeed had a powerful appeal.

Moreover, she noticed something else—everyone seemed to donate a fixed amount, not based on how much they had donated in value.

In other words, Li Ling didn’t need to spend much effort to make their money grow!

With this, why would they need to waste so much energy on charity?

At that moment, Li Ling’s gaze suddenly fell on Ye Chen, he scoffed disdainfully, "A country bumpkin stays a country bumpkin, showing up here and losing all face!"

Saying this, he slowly walked towards Ye Chen’s side, finally stopping in front of them.
