OFR – Chapter 237 Five hundred million

At this moment, Kang Yunyun nervously waited for Mu Hao’s answer.

In truth, her anxiety had already exposed her little scheme.

But Mu Bai, Nalan Yun, and Dongfang Jing didn’t mind.

After all, a bit of referral fee or commission was nothing in their eyes.

“Alright, go ahead and call your friend over.”

Mu Bai exchanged a glance with Nalan Yun and Dongfang Jing, and all three nodded in agreement.

“Yes, yes, right away. I’ll call him now. My friend should be nearby and should be here in just a few minutes.”

Seeing the three of them agree to buy from her friend, Kang Yunyun’s lips curved into a happy smile. Her big eyes turned into crescent moons with joy, making her look quite adorable.

This childlike demeanor brought a faint smile to Mu Bai and Nalan Yun’s faces.

After all, whether it’s a boy or a girl, a bit of cuteness is always endearing.

With their indulgence, Kang Yunyun began contacting her friend from the Scalper Alliance.

Given that the annual scalper exchange was about to begin, members of the alliance were already scattered throughout Yue’an City.

Her friend was Wen Xiaohai.

Wen Xiaohai wasn’t a big name in Yue’an City, but he was considered a first-rate scalper.

For this annual exchange, he served as a minor consul—an assistant role with limited authority, handling tasks like selling gold chips, distributing invitations, and keeping headcounts. But the perks were quite attractive, including rebates, reward points, and some additional privileges.

This made each consul position highly coveted.

As a minor consul, Wen Xiaohai also had a quota to meet.

For this exchange, he needed to sell 100 million RMB worth of gold chips.

In an event of this scale, 100 million wasn’t much.

But with many consuls competing and lacking a steady base of high-roller clients, Wen Xiaohai had only managed to sell around 50 million in two weeks—still short by half.

Sitting in a nearby café, he frowned, worrying about where to find clients for the remaining gold chips.

“Only a few hours until midnight—how can I possibly sell over 50 million worth of chips?”

He sighed in frustration.

But just as he finished sighing, his phone buzzed with a text notification.

Slumped on the table, Wen Xiaohai listlessly opened the message, expecting it to be a bank or telecom notification.

But when he read the contents, his expression instantly brightened, and he couldn’t help but leap up in excitement.

“Oh my god! Kang Yunyun actually found me three major clients? A lifesaver!”

His excitement drew strange looks from a few café patrons, but he didn’t care.

As a fellow Chinese scalper from the Laos border, he knew Kang Yunyun’s character well enough to trust she wasn’t the type to joke about this.

So after a brief moment of excitement, he quickly paid his bill and rushed toward Dejing Hotel.

The hotel was just a short distance away, and soon he found himself standing before the entrance of the most luxurious Heaven-Class Suite, where Kang Yunyun said the clients were waiting.

To be honest, he’d been to Dejing Hotel many times, but this was his first time at its most extravagant suite.

Nervously giving his name to the security at the door, he was finally allowed inside.

Knowing the suite’s staggering price, he understood that anyone in there had to be wealthy or influential.

So he didn’t dare look around after entering. Instead, he nodded cautiously to the people inside, adopting a polite and slightly fawning demeanor.

But when he spotted the familiar face of Kang Yunyun, his racing heart finally began to calm.

“H-Hi, Yunyun. I’m not late, right?” Wen Xiaohai greeted nervously.

“No, you’re right on time. Let me introduce you. This is my boss, Mu Hao, and these are Yun Shao and Sister Jing—friends of my boss. They all want to purchase some gold chips from you.”

Standing up, Kang Yunyun introduced him.

Seeing Wen Xiaohai’s awkward behavior, she couldn’t help but find it amusing, fully understanding his nerves.

After all, stepping into such a top-tier suite and meeting a group of inscrutable high-rollers was definitely nerve-wracking.

“H-Hello, Mu Hao, Yun Shao, Sister Jing,” Wen Xiaohai stammered, respectfully greeting them.

“Hello, Mr. Wen. Yunyun mentioned you’re a consul for this exchange, and we’re interested in buying some gold chips. Is that convenient?”

The youngest boy in the room suddenly looked up at him and asked.

Despite the boy’s young age, Wen Xiaohai didn’t dare take him lightly.

Anyone who could be addressed as “boss” by Kang Yunyun and could afford the Heaven-Class Suite wasn’t someone to be underestimated.

“Yes, of course, Mu Hao. It’s a great honor for me if you choose to buy from me. Shall I briefly explain the pricing?”

“Go ahead.” Mu Bai nodded.

Wen Xiaohai quickly explained:

“Gold chips are the only currency used at the exchange. We have three types:

• Little Yellow Fish: 10 grams of gold.
• Big Yellow Fish: 100 grams of gold.
• Golden Fish: 1,000 grams of gold.

The price is based on the average global gold price, currently around $42 per gram (272 RMB). How much would you like?”

After finishing his explanation, Wen Xiaohai looked nervously at the young man.

Although the price was a bit above market rate, he feared they might change their minds.

But the boy calmly finished his glass of wine, set it down, thought for a moment, and then said:

“So, after purchasing, the chips are directly credited to us? And the invitations are provided by you? Are there any purchase limits?”

“There are no purchase limits. You can buy as many chips as you can afford.

“After purchase, your details will be recorded in the system. Tomorrow, you can collect your chips using fingerprint and iris verification at the exchange’s gold reserve vault.

“As for the invitation, purchasing 50,000 USD worth of gold chips grants one. The invitation can be issued under any name you choose, maintaining privacy.”

Wen Xiaohai explained eagerly, eyes full of anticipation.

Right now, he desperately hoped they would buy—even just the 50,000 USD minimum.

But just as he was about to say something else, a crisp voice suddenly rang in his ear:

“I’ll start by purchasing 500 million RMB worth of gold chips. If it’s not enough, I’ll buy more. This is my China Bank Diamond Card, supporting cross-border transfers. Use ‘Leng’ as the name on the invitation.”

500 million!

Wen Xiaohai’s ears seemed to ring like thunder. He stared at the young boy in shock, his expression full of disbelief.

He never imagined someone would directly purchase 500 million RMB worth of gold chips!

And just as he was struggling to process this, two more cards were placed on the table, followed by two equally calm voices:

“500 million RMB worth of gold chips. Vite Financial Gold Card, cross-border transfer, name it ‘Yun Shao.’”

“500 million RMB worth of gold chips. Citibank Black Card, cross-border transfer, name it ‘Dongfang.’”

Three people, each purchasing 500 million RMB worth of gold chips!

Kang Yunyun and Wen Xiaohai stood frozen in shock, eyes wide with disbelief.

The overwhelming aura of wealth seemed to fill the entire luxurious suite, spreading to every corner.
