Through the phone, Yan'er said she wanted to go out and play, so Ye Tian took Lin Ziyi and Yan'er to Jiuhua Mountain Villa.
At the entrance of Jiuhua Mountain Villa, a group of people were guarding. Upon seeing Ye Tian appear, they all bowed and called their boss.
It turned out that the Twelve Apostles had all come to the villa today. Finding Ye Tian absent, they dared not disturb him and waited there, having their subordinates guard the foot of the mountain.
Jiuhua Mountain Villa had nine peaks, each serving as an array eye. Together, the nine peaks formed the Jiuhua Spirit Gathering Grand Array.
The peak where the Twelve Apostles resided was called Shaohua Peak, while the peak where Old Immortal Han had previously lived was called Duxiu Peak.
Ye Tian first took Yan'er to Duxiu Peak and asked Hong Hu to play with her. Hong Hu was adept at acting cute and charming, which Yan'er adored.
Afterward, he went to meet the Twelve Apostles, intending to treat their illnesses and formally sign the contracts.
After treating several of them, Zhou Tianxing said, "Mr. Ye, yesterday you mentioned someone was targeting us. Have you identified the mastermind?"
Ye Tian replied, "Yes, those individuals are quite something. One is called Lord Beile, another Mr. Fu, and the third claims to be Lord Lei."
Upon hearing these names, Zhou Tianxing's expression changed, and he said, "So it's them!"
Ye Tian inquired, "Oh, you know these three?"
Zhou Tianxing explained, "These three have considerable reputations and have connections with many high-ranking officials. We've encountered them a few times. I never expected these three to be the ones targeting us!"
Song Shi Ze asked, "Mr. Ye, will they make another move?"
Ye Tian stated, "They wouldn't dare. Yesterday, I went to find these three. I was going to cripple them, but they each offered a treasure in exchange for their lives, so I let them off the hook."
The others were secretly astonished, thinking that Mr. Ye's methods were too brilliant, subduing these three with such ease. They could hardly imagine such prowess!
Ye Tian then said, "In a moment, you will meet Ms. Lin Ziyi, the president of Baozhi Company."
Everyone readily agreed.
Lin Ziyi, who had been resting in a nearby room, came to meet them. Now that the Twelve Apostles also held shares in Baozhi Company, they were all considered insiders.
After treating everyone, Ye Tian brought up the charity auction that evening.
Upon hearing that Ye Tian would be auctioning Baozhi products, the Twelve Apostles exchanged glances and smiled, saying, "We are aware of this auction and will be attending. Since Mr. Ye is also going, we will all participate in this charity auction under the banner of the Han family."
Lin Ziyi smiled and remarked, "If you all attend, then we will be the strongest faction in the capital."
Zhou Tianxing chuckled, "This is an opportunity to boost Baozhi's reputation and let the world know that we are all shareholders of Baozhi."
Ou Fan suggested, "Let's each donate one hundred million."
Zhou Tianxing countered, "While one hundred million is not a small sum, it feels a bit lacking. I think two hundred million would be better."
Ye Tian agreed, "Alright, let's participate together. By the way, Ziyi, can we secure the naming rights for this charity auction?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "The naming rights cost five hundred million, which I think is too expensive. However, these naming rights are currently still available."
Ye Tian declared, "Five hundred million it is. You can secure the naming rights later."
Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have my assistant handle it shortly."
After chatting for a while, as dusk settled, the group drove off to attend the charity auction banquet.
The charity auction banquet was held at the most upscale hotel in the capital, the Donghuang Grand Hotel. At this moment, cars were coming and going in front of the Donghuang Grand Hotel, and the crowd was like a tide.
Celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and political figures all appeared at the venue. The Mayor of the capital personally attended, and the District Chief directly stood at the entrance to serve as the greeter for the day.
When Ye Tian's convoy arrived at the venue, the District Chief's eyes lit up upon seeing the line of ultra-luxury cars.
The first to alight were Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi. Seeing these two, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity and asked his assistant behind him, "Who are these two?"
The assistant, having reviewed everyone's profiles, had an excellent memory. He said, recognizing Lin Ziyi, "She's the president of Baozhi Company. The person beside her is likely the boss, Ye Tian. Baozhi Company currently has annual revenues in the hundreds of billions and profits in the tens of billions. It's rumored they are preparing for an IPO. Once this company goes public, it will be a behemoth with a market capitalization in the trillions."
The District Chief was surprised, "Is Baozhi Company that formidable?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to greet them, "Boss Ye, President Lin, I've long heard of your names. Welcome to today's banquet. On behalf of the district and city levels, I welcome your arrival!"
