Accompanying Feng Jianxiang was a man in a black suit.
"This is Wang Bin, the Director of Police Operations."
An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing Wang Bin. An ordinary face and ordinary build, he’d be unrecognizable in a crowd. However, his seemingly ordinary eyes sparkled with a hint of wisdom, and the smile at the corner of his mouth had never faded since he arrived. This was a man skilled in navigating situations and very eloquent.
From the way he behaved courteously to everyone, yet with eyes gleaming, An Yiqing could see that Wang Bin was deeply scheming.
It’s no wonder he rose to the position of Director of Police Operations; without so ability, the support from the Jiang Family alone might not have held him steady.
Feng Jianxiang stood aside patiently waiting for Wang Bin to greet others. He glanced around the auction hall and, upon seeing Li Yuphei, nodded slightly. Then, upon seeing An Yiqing next to him, a mont of surprise and delight flashed in his eyes before he quickly concealed it and greeted her with a calm nod.
An Yiqing smiled in return. Feng Jianxiang was soone who could control his emotions well, a person of note.
As everyone chatted, the guest seats in the auction hall gradually filled up. The guests in the first two rows had already arrived. Li Yuphei originally planned to sit at the back, but after An Yiqing’s repeated requests, he reluctantly returned to the second row.
The auction hall’s doors closed, and staff mbers walked up from backstage.
Among them, a man in a business suit briskly stepped onto the stage. This man was the Auctioneer responsible for today’s event.
With the Auctioneer’s witty and humorous words, the auction hall gradually quieted down. The auction officially began.
An Yiqing sat in the back row, her yellow dress blending into the darkness. Zhang Yufeng sat next to her, her black professional suit accentuating her confident and poised deanor. In one hand, she held a number plate; in the other, a bidding device.
The auction officially began.
The first item was a plot of land on the outskirts of Flower Island. The plot was massive, but unfortunately, its location wasn’t very good. It could only be used for factories and workshops.
Starting at twenty million, it was finally sold for fifty million to a leather business.
For a plot of land everyone deed undesirable, selling it at fifty million, demonstrated just how expensive land in Flower Island Central Ring must be.
Next was a plot of land beside Flower Island International Primary School. This plot was originally the old site of the international school; after the school moved, it was left vacant.
This location was decent. The students at Flower Island International Primary School all had wealthy backgrounds, with luxury cars picking them up daily. There were many upscale residential communities nearby, making it ideal for developing residences.
An Yiqing suddenly recalled instructing Jacob to register a real estate company, though just a shell. Her eyes brightened as she gazed at this plot, formulating a plan.
She tapped the armrest of the sofa, and Zhang Yufeng understood, pressing the bidding device and raising the plate in her hand.
"Fifty-five million! Bid by guest number seventy-three, any further bids?" the Auctioneer asked excitedly.
People around An Yiqing all turned to look at her, stunned by her appearance. So early arrivals knew of her acquaintance with Li Yuphei; the latecors, after hearing about it, looked at An Yiqing with surprise and curiosity.
Who exactly is this heiress?
Fifty-five million wasn’t a small sum. But for a rich family’s child, deciding on their own to spend so much bidding for a plot wasn’t anything outstanding. So, everyone rely thought An Yiqing was an heiress from so wealthy family, joining in for fun.
However, when the land’s price reached ninety million, people’s views on An Yiqing changed.
Ninety million, nearing a hundred million. Who would waste money like this? A spendthrift?
Even now, everyone only thought of An Yiqing as an imprudent wealthy heiress, not imagining she earned the money herself.
Everyone turned to look at the girl sitting in the back row, wearing a yellow dress, blending into the shadows. They were all amazed by her looks and then turned away. Only Li Yuphei in the second row turned and smiled at her.
On the other end of the second row, Jiang Zirong saw that the bidder was An Yiqing and raised an eyebrow. He rembered seeing her with Li Yuphei earlier. Wasn’t she his companion? Or did Li Yuphei signal her to bid for this land?
For a mont, speculation about An Yiqing’s identity surged silently like an undercurrent among the crowd.
At this mont, the businessman bidding against An Yiqing was already sweating. Ninety million was his limit; he couldn’t go any higher.
"Ninety-two million." Zhang Yufeng raised the plate.
The businessman paled, unable to secure the long-desired land.
In the end, the land next to Flower Island International Primary School was acquired by An Yiqing for a high price of ninety-two million.
"Miss, what do you intend to do with this land?" Zhang Yufeng asked in a low voice as she put away the number plate.
An Yiqing smiled, "By the school, naturally, it’s for high-end residences."
"But Miss, as far as I know, the residential areas near the school are saturated. Spending ninety-two million to build a high-end residence seems a bit of a loss," Zhang Yufeng remarked, not believing An Yiqing would make such a foolish investnt. She thought her lady had sothing else up her sleeve.
Indeed, An Yiqing looked at Zhang Yufeng appreciatively, "You’re right. The area near the international school is full of upscale residences. Building a standard high-end residence there would indeed be a bit of a loss. But what if it’s a high-end residence with feng shui and dical facilities?"
Zhang Yufeng’s brow furrowed, "’With feng shui and dical facilities’?"
An Yiqing smiled mysteriously, leaned down to whisper a few words in Zhang Yufeng’s ear, after which Zhang Yufeng’s eyes lit up, filled with admiration and pride as she looked at An Yiqing.
As expected of their lady, never engaging in loss-making deals. If she really does as she said, then this land is absolutely worth it!
