From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 117 - 106: Sky-High Auction, Team Contract
Century Square, Coastal flagship store of Yayun Apparel.
This is the Lin family's high-end clothing brand, primarily dealing in suits, formal wear, and wedding dresses.
Lin Zeyu brought two people to Yayun's flagship store and was immediately greeted by a staff member.
"Pick some evening dresses for them, just a regular dinner party, nothing too formal," Lin Zeyu mentioned, not bringing up the auction, only mentioning a regular dinner party.
"Alright," the female staff member promptly led Su Muyu inside to choose her dress.
Lu Heng was more casual, "Just find me a comfortable suit to wear."
All the suits here are tailored; the store's designer, by measuring Lu Heng's shoulder width with his fingers, knew almost exactly what size was needed.
Thus, Lu Heng quickly tried on a notched lapel suit, didn't bother changing into another, and directly went back to the sofa area to wait.
Lin Zeyu, already bored, picked up a fashion magazine from the sofa area leafing through it, which featured photos of supermodels from various major fashion weeks.
Dressing up was more troublesome for girls, starting with wearing an undergarment as a hugely time-consuming task.
And Su Muyu, having no experience at all, had to ask the female staff member everything.
Especially for many evening dresses, where shoulder straps shouldn't show, necessitating an invisible bra.
The female staff member picked out a lovely evening dress for Su Muyu to try on.
After waiting for over ten minutes, Su Muyu finally emerged from the dressing room.
Lu Heng looked up, his eyes bulging; it indeed looked good, but the neckline was too low.
Su Muyu came out covering her chest with her hands, feeling uncomfortable.
Lin Zeyu put down the magazine preparing to look at her.
Lu Heng grabbed the magazine and threw it into Lin Zeyu's face, saying, "Look at your magazine."
"Ouch..." Lin Zeyu flopped onto the sofa and started to feign injury, "My handsome face, you'll have to compensate."
Lu Heng stepped forward and said, "Let's change it."
Su Muyu pursed her lips and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
"It looks good, but don't you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Heng didn't know how to explain.
"Indeed uncomfortable. Then I'll go change," Su Muyu said as she headed back to the dressing room.
Lu Heng reminded the female staff member, "Find something livelier, with a higher neckline."
The female staff member nodded in understanding and turned to select an appropriate evening gown.
Lu Heng sat back in the sofa area and waited another fifteen minutes.
Su Muyu came out from the dressing room, this time wearing a gown with sheer sleeves and a naturally beautiful skirt line.
Paired with small leather shoes and lace-patterned stockings, it looked elegant yet vibrant.
"That's it, let's go," Lu Heng decided immediately, mainly because just trying on two outfits took half an hour. If they continued, the auction might end.
The female staff member chuckled, "Aren't you going to ask the girl what she thinks?"
Su Muyu, lifting her skirt, twirled left and right, asking, "How is it?"
"Very good, this is the one," Lu Heng urged.
"That's so dismissive," Su Muyu puckered her lips, murmuring a complaint, but she was delighted inside, her face full of smiles.
After all, as a girl, wearing beautiful clothes always makes one happy.
Coming out of Century Square, the three directly headed to the venue of the Ultimate Auction.
The venue was decorated magnificently and atmospherically.
At seven in the evening.
The three, carrying invitations, passed through security and entered the venue.
The Ultimate Auction was not just a mere auction but also a social gathering for the elite class.
Indeed, many attended the auction just to meet top Superpower Users; the auction was secondary.
Lu Heng, holding Su Muyu's hand, entered the venue and saw many elites, clutching wine glasses, gathered in small groups to chat.
Once inside, Lin Zeyu occasionally met acquaintances and waved to greet them.
Here, Lu Heng occasionally saw a few familiar faces.
After all, the Power Users attending this auction were the top tier of the current phase, many of whom would also be famous in later times.
However, Lu Heng's current identity had no intersection with these people, so he planned not to initiate greetings but stood with Su Muyu in a corner of the venue, speaking softly.
At that moment,
a few men in suits approached; among them, a short middle-aged man went up to Lu Heng, greeted him in awkward Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Lu Heng."
Lu Heng didn't recognize the person and looked confused.
A nearby secretary quickly helped introduce, "Mr. Lu Heng, this is Mr. Kenji Ono."
Kenji Ono continued, "I couldn't invite you for a drink a few days ago; I wonder if I might have the honor tonight?"
When Lu Heng heard it was Kenji Ono, he knew what it was about.
Kenji Ono was the president of the Asia-Pacific Region for Chunshang Group, the shadowy boss behind the wolf pack.
The renowned Quenching Master He Shangyong, promoted by Chunshang Group, had fame but lacked ability.
So, Chunshang Group had recently approached Lu Heng, offering a guaranteed contract of one billion a year.
Before Lu Heng could respond,
Lin Zeyu hurriedly left the woman he was flirting with, rushed over, blocked Kenji Ono, and said, "Sorry, Lu Heng has already signed with me and cannot accommodate Mr. Ono's wishes."

"What a pity. However, Chunshang Group's doors will always be open to Mr. Lu Heng. Not limited to the Asia-Pacific Region, whenever Mr. Lu Heng wishes, he could become the most famous Quenching Master worldwide," Even knowing Lu Heng had signed elsewhere, Kenji Ono continued to extend an olive branch.
