Chapter 1,106: The Arrogance of Ignorance

around."Ye Bufan said, knocking his wine bottle against the steel plate once more."Clang!"A loud pounding sound echoed through the night. While others might have barely noticed it, to Feng Sihai's ear...Ye Bufan's journey has been filled with envious and hateful gazes from countless male creatures. If looks could kill, he would have been torn to shreds by now.

Everything in the gallery is ready. The walls are lined with various kinds of ancient paintings.

There are paintings from the East and West, with landscapes and portraits, a wide variety to choose from.

In the center of the hall were numerous exhibition booths, displaying a wide array of items. There were ancient relics from bygone eras and precious jade worth a fortune.

Guests entering the hall strolled around, with the occasional surprised gasp.

Everyone was amazed by the Pang family's wealth. Just from these exhibits, they were worth at least over one billion dollars.

After entering, Ye Bufan used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, but he didn't find anyone suspicious.

And the things in the exhibition hall, although each one was worth a lot of money, costing millions, none of them aroused his interest.

Anyway, since they were just hanging around, a few people started strolling around the exhibition hall with him, admiring the exhibits.

The men present, seeing Ye Bufan surrounded by four stunning women, were envious to the bone, wishing they could push him aside and take his place.

"Ye Bufan, is that you"

A jarring sound came from behind.

Hearing someone call his name, Ye Bufan turned around and saw a young couple standing behind him.

These two people were about his age. The man was tall and thin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him an air of refinement.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit and wore a gleaming gold watch on his wrist, the epitome of a successful man.

The woman next to him had fiery red, voluminous waves cascading down her shoulders. She wore a low-cut evening gown and white high heels that were at least ten centimeters tall.

While not as beautiful as Wang Xue'ning and the others, her appearance is still acceptable.

He paused for a moment, then recognized the two people before him.

"Are you Yuan Hang and Zhu Ziyi"

These two people are both his high school classmates. The girl's name is Zhu Ziyi, and she was once one of Ye Bufan's pursuers.

After graduation, none of them got into university. They heard that they went south to work hard, and unexpectedly met in Shanghai.

"Ye Bufan, it's really you, you seem to be doing well"

Yuan Hang said this, his gaze swept over Ye Bufan's suit of casual clothes that cost only a few hundred yuan, with disdain in his eyes.

Although the girls around him were all stunningly beautiful, his clothes were really subpar, looking like something you'd find at a street stall.

In his estimation, dressing like this for this occasion was clearly a fashion faux pas.

Actually, the women around Ye Bufan had bought him plenty of designer suits. However, he found them uncomfortable to wear and preferred his own casual attire.

"It's alright."

Ye Bufan naturally could feel the almost mocking glances from the two people and casually replied with a sentence.

Zhu Ziyi asked, "Xiaofan, I heard that you studied traditional Chinese medicine in university. Don't you really practice it now"

"That's right, I am a TCM practitioner now."

Zhu Ziyi curled her lips: "You're really something, actually becoming a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Who even goes to see TCM anymore"

Seeing these two people sneer, Huang Xiaomei said unhappily: “Who says no one goes to see a Chinese medicine doctor anymore Big Brother Ye is very skilled.”

Yuan Hang shook his head, obviously not taking it seriously.

In his view, even as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Ye Bufan's medical skills at this age weren't particularly outstanding.

The girl in front of me looks innocent and naive, clearly she has been deceived.

Yuan Hang looked at the people in front of him, one by one more beautiful than the last. Any one of them was ten times prettier than Zhu Ziyi.

This made him incredibly jealous. He was much stronger than Ye Bufan, so why should all the good women be snatched away

Yuan Hang's biggest desire right now is for Ye Bufan to ask him what he does, so he can then brag about his salary and achievements, maybe attracting one of the women across from him.

It's a pity that Ye Bufan wasn't interested in this at all. He glanced at the two people and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to come together. What a coincidence."

"Of course, our Yuan Hang is a promising young talent now. His current achievements are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhu Ziyi held onto Yuan Hang's arm, said with a proud look, "Yuan Hang now works as an appraiser at Huayu Jewelry Company, and his annual salary is 1 million."

By the end, she emphasized "one million" with a bite, her pride palpable.

In her opinion, the other girls would be very envious if she told them her annual salary.

Yuan Hang felt a surge of joy. Though Ye Bufan didn't ask, Zhu ZiyI took the initiative to show off for him. The method might be different, but the outcome was the same.

The result, however, disappointed them all. Wang Xue'ning and the others remained composed, showing no surprise or envy whatsoever.

Not even a flicker of change, as if they hadn't heard a thing.

Ye Bufan was even more so, showing no surprise or flattery. Yuan Hang was filled with resentment. What was going on Did they not hear clearly Even in Shanghai, a million-dollar annual salary was considered a high salary, wasn't it

And what about Ye Bufan What are you putting on a show for I don't believe that a mere acupuncturist like you can earn more than me.

No, I have to show them how great I am.

Thinking about this, Yuan Hang said to Xiao Fan again: "Xiao Fan, when did you come to Shanghai"

"The day before yesterday I just arrived."

"Since you're new here, as an old classmate, I recommend a great place to you, the career assessment center. This is something we don't have in our Jiangnan region."

Let me tell you, if you go there with talent, they'll give you a very authoritative evaluation, a reasonable assessment.

I just got back from there yesterday and did an assessment. Guess what

According to Yuan Hang's expectations, Ye Bufan should have followed up with his own question, but the other party showed little interest and didn't seem to want to ask anything.

"There's no other way, he could only say to himself: 'The final appraisal center gave me a result of 1.5 million yuan in annual salary. With this appraisal certificate, I can ask my boss for a raise.'"

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, without superfluous words.

Wang Xueying and the others remained composed, not even glancing in his direction.

"What's going on Are all these women deaf"

With a heart full of reluctance, Yuan Hang continued, "Xiao Fan, you did well in school. You should also get assessed. Maybe you could earn a salary of hundreds of thousands a year."

Of course, you can't compare to me. I specialize in antique and jewelry appraisal, a high-paying field anywhere.

"And the older they get, the more valuable they become."

Zhu Ziyi also felt that Ye Bufan's reaction was not giving face, and continued: "Yuan Hang has already achieved a lot. He entered the Appraisal Center Hall of Fame at a young age, ranking 999th."

"999 digits"

Wang Xuening could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

These two people are so funny, they're actually bragging about a 999th place finish. destroyed by a young man's hands.Gomez said, "Otherwise If it weren't for the other side being too powerful, how could that little girl from the Berrick family have thought of getting Cassano to take...
