Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened.
The person standing in front of him was none other than Ji Silin. Ji Silin had not expected to see the two of them, so he exclaimed in surprise and touched his glasses.
Both of them were about the same height and were relatively skinny. However, one of them was dressed in a white suit and looked refined. The other was dressed in black and had a cold expression that made him look formidable and fierce.
The moment they met, an invisible aura spread.
Fu Chun stood at the side and felt that he had been dragged into something. He could not take the immense pressure and hurriedly said, “General Xiang, Mr. Ji, you guys can chat.”
After saying that, he hurriedly left the scene.

After Fu Chun left, Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes and a murderous intent surged from them. At this moment, Ji Silin suddenly looked behind him. “Xixi?”
Xiang Huai was stunned and instinctively turned around.
However, there was nothing behind him. He turned around, and suddenly, a pocket watch appeared in front of him. It swayed and swayed…

Xiang Huai’s eyes subconsciously turned as the pocket watch swayed. His body slowly became stiff, and his dark brown eyes gradually became lighter. His gaze was also a little straight.

If one wanted to control others, one first had to make them unguarded.
Ji Silin did not have much hope of succeeding with Xiang Huai initially. He only wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to succeed! He retracted his pocket watch in case it attracted anyone’s suspicion.
Immediately, he touched the frame of his glasses and the lenses reflected a cold light.
Now, it was time to give him a hypnotic suggestion. If he were to ask Xiang Huai to break up with Xue Xi, it would definitely not be a problem.

Ji Silin stared at Xiang Huai for a while before saying gently, “Listen, no matter why you got close to her, you must treat Xue Xi well for the rest of your life and never betray her. Do you hear me?”
Xiang Huai stared straight at him and nodded. “Got it.”
“Got what?” Ji Silin retorted.
If he repeatedly stressed on it, it would increase the strength of the psychological suggestion.
Xiang Huai said, “I’ll be good to Xue Xi for the rest of my life and never betray her.”
If it were anyone else, Ji Silin might have given several more hypnotic suggestions, but since this person was Xiang Huai, he did not dare to speak further, afraid that he would find out.
Hence, he took two steps back and snapped his fingers. “Pa!”
Xiang Huai’s eyes instantly focused as though he had finally regained his rationality. He was a little lost.
Seeing him like this, Ji Silin retreated in satisfaction and entered the auction venue.
When he disappeared, the corners of Xiang Huai’s lips suddenly curled up into a smile. All the confusion he had felt earlier had disappeared and a glint flashed across his dark brown eyes.

He actually had the guts to hypnotize him…
He’d pretended to be hypnotized because he wanted to see what Ji Silin was up to, but he did not expect that the suggestion Ji Silin would give was actually this.
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes.
He knew the rest of the people in the Moguls’ Group. Only Ji Silin had no understanding of what he was trying to do even after so many years.
Although he appeared to be a psychiatrist on the surface, he was actually busy doing research every day.
But is a person like him really just a psychiatrist?
Just as he was deep in thought, footsteps sounded behind him.
Xiang Huai turned around and saw the little kid walking over. Her misty eyes were fixed on him. “Why are you here?”
Xiang Huai leaned against the wall and said lazily, “Because I wanted to see you.”
Xue Xi: “…”
“Oh,” she replied uneasily, then continued, “Well, you saw me.”
Xue Xi: “We can leave now.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
His little kid was really unromantic!

Xue Xi was the first to walk in front. The two of them joined the crowd again to look for Ye Li, only to see Xu Fang stop the Recluse, Fu Chun. “I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was only thinking that since Night Li hasn’t drawn in 18 years, her pen name was already dead. I have no other intentions. You must believe me.”
Fu Chun smiled when he heard this. Even Fu Yuanxiu, who was beside Fu Chun, shook his head and said, “Fine. You only told me fake news. I can’t do anything to you.”
Xu Fang heaved a sigh of relief and probed, “Then that game project…”
Fu Chun shook his head. “Sorry, I’ll have to ask Night Li first. If she doesn’t want to cooperate, I’ll look for you.”
After saying that, he walked past Xu Fang and walked toward Ye Li.
Xu Fang stood rooted to the ground and clenched her fists.
She had lost to her during the auction, but she had never expected to lose that game project. Now, however, Fu Chun actually wanted to ask Ye Li first? And it was only if Ye Li did not want the project that Xu Fang would have the chance to have it?
These words were undoubtedly the most painful knives to her.
She must not allow Ye Li to climb over her head!
The auction was coming to an end and everyone was preparing to leave.
Just as Ye Li and Xue Sheng were about to leave with Xue Xi and Xiang Huai, they bumped into Old Lady Xue at the door. After being warned by Xue Sheng, the old lady restrained herself.
However, seeing that Ye Li was being supported by so many people, she complained indignantly to Liu Yiqiu, “What’s there to make a fuss about? Even if she sold this painting today, not a single cent would go to her. She’s still a pauper. Who knows if she can even sell those older paintings?”
Just as she said this, Ye Li’s phone rang.
Ye Li picked up the call and the other party said something. After hanging up, she excitedly said to Xue Sheng and Xue Xi, “My friend just said that a few people went to her art room and bought my paintings. The four paintings I asked her to display actually sold for a total of five million! She has already sent it to my account!”
Five million?
Old Lady Xue widened her eyes.
Her company’s shares, together with the cash in her hands, were worth only tens of millions. Yet Ye Li had sold a few paintings for five million?
She gulped and could not help but look at Liu Yiqiu. “How long does it take to finish a painting?”
Liu Yiqiu thought for a moment. “A day.”
One painting a day and 30 paintings a month. Oh my god, how much can she earn in a month?
Old Lady Xue could not calculate clearly, but at this moment, she clearly knew that Ye Li was no longer who she was before!
Ye Li was stunned by the sudden income of five million.
Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Fu Chun. He smiled and said, “Night Li, actually, I’m looking for you to discuss a collaboration. I’ve accepted a game project that my in-charge has set up. If you accept, you’ll be in charge of the landscape backgrounds. Are you interested?”
Xu Fang, who was not far away from them, pricked up her ears.
In university, Ye Li did not like such nonsense. She only wanted to focus on painting and might reject it! If she rejected it, then this chance would still be hers!
