The next day.
Evening, Central Party School dormitory.
Dong Xuebin was packing up in his room, making sure to bring his bank cards and the like.
His roommate Han Xinghua asked, "Director Dong, are you going out?"
"Yeah." Dong Xuebin turned his head toward Little Dong. "I've got something to do."
"This is closed-campus training. If you want to go out, you might need to get written approval and request leave," Han Xinghua reminded him.
"I'm not leaving through the main gate." Dong Xuebin put away his wallet. "I'm just taking a walk around the compound to clear my head."
"Oh, then that's fine. Too many leave requests might affect your credits."
Dong Xuebin naturally knew that, but today was the auction for those Pink Diamonds. No matter what, he had to leave the Central Party School. After saying goodbye and leaving the dorm, Dong Xuebin looked left and right as he strode toward the school gate. After checking his surroundings, he simply used Stop to freeze time, then climbed over a low wall in the Backyard and out of the Central Party School grounds. He hailed a taxi by the roadside.
In the car.
"Driver, Jiade Auction House."
"Sure thing."
"Thanks."
Twenty minutes later, outside Jiade Auction House.
Dong Xuebin paid the fare and got out, then casually put on a pair of large sunglasses he had prepared beforehand. He did not want anyone recognizing him. After all, he was a National Cadre. It would not reflect well if people learned that he was participating in a bidding war worth hundreds of millions, so he had no choice but to disguise himself to avoid trouble.
Jiade was packed with people.
Perhaps because those Pink Diamonds were simply too eye-catching, quite a crowd had come.
Dong Xuebin completed the registration
