"It's actually Mortal Group!"
"I thought Wangu Group had already won the bid, this is so unexpected!"
"Yeah, wasn't Mortal Group eliminated? How did they end up in the final bidding?"
The crowd began discussing in astonishnt, and the venue was filled with whispers.
Mortal Group's interest in this Lijiang land was no secret in the business world; the conflict between Li Jian and Lin Fan at President Song Rongmao's birthday banquet was known to all.
Although at that birthday banquet, Li Jian eventually accepted Mortal Group's bid docunt, the group was already eliminated in the first round, and Li Jian deliberately leaked this information to humiliate Lin Fan, trying to make him a joke.
In everyone's impression, Mortal Group had long been out. So even mocked Lin Fan, saying that ever since Mr. Lin's rise, he had never been defeated, yet he stumbled at Yun City's Li Family, suffering an unprecedented setback.
Unexpectedly, Mortal Group actually appeared on the final bidders' list!
What's going on?
The most frustrated ones were the father and son of Wei Family.
Wei Jiansheng's smile instantly froze, as if he swallowed a fly: "Mortal Group? No, how could there be Mortal Group?"
In Wangu Group's chairman's office, Wei Tiansheng also jumped up, both angry and anxious: "What's going on? Isn't Mortal Group supposed to be eliminated!"
The father and son thought that after forcing Hengxin Group out, the Lijiang land would be theirs without competition, at the most favorable price.
They must admit, this plan was crafted really well.
Who knew!
That eliminated Mortal Group would co back!
Wei Tiansheng imdiately grabbed his phone, calling Wei Jiansheng and roaring: "Ask Li Jian what's going on!"
Wei Jiansheng hurriedly replied: "Okay, I got it, Father."
At this mont, Wei Yue'er stood up and said, "Hello everyone, I am the representative of Mortal Group."
Seeing Wei Yue'er, Wei Jiansheng's face involuntarily twitched. This was truly absurd, running into Mortal Group was one thing, but the representative of Mortal Group was actually his aunt Wei Yue'er!
This was turning into a family feud.
Wei Tiansheng's expression also changed upon seeing Wei Yue'er; Lin Fan didn't co personally today, actually sending Wei Yue'er!
Could Lin Fan be doing this on purpose?
No way!
Lin Fan couldn't possibly know about Wei Yue'er's identity!
Wei Yue'er felt conflicted; upon learning that her competitor was Wangu Group, she was already stunned.
Before Li Jian announced it, she had no idea that Wangu Group was also part of this bidding!
Her brother Wei Tiansheng hadn't ntioned it to her!
Now she represented Mortal Group, which ant competing against her brother for this Lijiang land?
Here it was, the very thing she didn't want to happen.
A couple of nights ago, Lin Fan took her to dinner, and they encountered a man beating his cheating wife. Lin Fan then told Wei Yue'er he didn't like betrayal.
Thinking about how she hid her identity from Lin Fan, if Mortal Group and Wangu Group were to compete, what would she do then? No matter who she helped, it would be a betrayal of the other!
With these thoughts, Wei Yue'er felt uncomfortable and didn't finish the al.
Unexpectedly, the thing she feared most happened so soon!
Standing up to introduce herself was an act of sheer courage; she didn't dare look at Wei Jiansheng.
She didn't feel Lin Fan deliberately arranged her as the representative against Wei Tiansheng, because firstly, Lin Fan didn't know her true identity, and secondly, he didn't know Wangu Group was the opponent.
It was just a coincidence, a coincidence she most dreaded.
No matter the circumstances, at this mont, she stood in that position, representing Mortal Group, opposing her brother Wei Tiansheng, it was already a certain situation.
This was certainly a trendous test for her.
Wei Jiansheng cursed inwardly, it was absurdly coincidental, not only did Mortal Group suddenly pop up, their representative had to be his aunt!
On the surface, it was a competition between Wangu Group and Mortal Group, but in reality, it was the Wei Family slaughtering each other.
However, Wei Jiansheng soon felt relieved, regardless of whether Wei Yue'er's appearance was a coincidence or Lin Fan's deliberate arrangent, Wei Yue'er was his aunt, part of the Wei Family, she definitely wouldn't fail to support the Wei Family!
Lin Fan was in for bad luck this ti; this Lijiang land surely belonged to the Wei Family!
"President Li, what exactly is going on?" Wei Jiansheng asked Li Jian, "As far as I know, rumors have been widespread, saying Mortal Group was eliminated in the first round, why does Mortal Group appear in this bidding? Please explain, President Li."
This question also piqued the curiosity of everyone present.
Li Jian chuckled, "Mr. Wei, where did you hear that Mortal Group was eliminated in the first round?"
Wei Jiansheng retorted, "Hasn't it spread everywhere already!"
Wei Jiansheng was annoyed, where did he hear it from, didn't Li Jian know? Wasn't it the Li Family that spread the news? Who doesn't know the grudge between Li Family and Lin Fan!
Li Jian replied, "Mr. Wei, hearsay isn't reliable; I've never officially announced that Mortal Group was eliminated, so it's your fault for believing rumors."
"You!" Wei Jiansheng was frustrated but couldn't refute Li Jian, indeed the Li Family just spread rumors, no tangible evidence.
Li Jian chuckled, "In fact, Mortal Group's bid was excellent, advancing steadily, and was the first confird buyer to enter the third round of bidding, so there's no need to be surprised."
Upon hearing this, finally, everyone understood.
"So that's how it is, turns out the previously spread news was false!
"Seems like hearsay isn't trustworthy!"
"However, Li Family indeed has a conflict with Lin Fan, yet allowing Lin Fan into the third round is really..."
"Guess President Li is truly broad-minded!"
The crowd whispered.
Li Jian smiled, "Everyone previously believed hearsay possibly due to my conflict with Mr. Lin Fan. In fact, I have a clear distinction between public and private, would never eliminate Mortal Group because of personal grudges, and besides, my conflict with Mr. Lin Fan was resolved long ago. Now I maintain a good relationship with Mr. Lin Fan, so I also want to clarify to avoid further misunderstandings. Mr. Wei, do you have any other questions?"
Li Jian sighed inwardly; he was the one who spread the rumor before, now the one clarifying it too, the real reason he couldn't disclose; how could outsiders know he now needed Lin Fan's help.
Though Wei Jiansheng knew he was played, he couldn't do anything about Li Jian, twitching his face, he replied, "No."
Li Jian said, "That's good; if there are no questions, then I now announce the official start of the Lijiang land auction."
Wei Jiansheng and Wei Yue'er exchanged glances, then quickly avoided each other's gaze.
An exciting showdown was finally about to begin.
