Aunt Wu understood what Chen Shiwei was thinking and naturally could grasp the current situation. "Eldest Young Master, I think we should just join the fun and not take it to heart. Kangyu Foot Bath City is pri real estate, everyone wants a piece, and when the ti cos, the auction price will definitely be driven very high. So the cost will be even higher! We want it, and Han Si Hai wants it too. Judging by Eldest Young Master Han’s character, he’s probably already considered it as his possession in his heart!"
Aunt Wu’s analysis aligned well with the master’s intentions, and Chen Shiwei nodded,
"Your analysis is spot on, and I think so too. It’s not worth spending too much money on such a broken place, but I do want to see whether Han Si Hai or Lin Mu cos out on top in the end. I’m really looking forward to them driving the price through the roof! Haha, it’ll definitely be a good show to watch..."
"Ah, the Eldest Young Master is wise not to get involved in the affairs between the two families. Lin Mu is quite a character, actually forcing Han Si Hai to play his trump card. It seems that Han Si Hai has suffered not lightly from Lin Mu’s bite. Finally, in Wancheng, there’s soone who can restrain the Han Family." Aunt Wu analyzed slowly.
ntioning Lin Mu, Chen Shiwei took a sharp drag on his cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. "I’m very worried. Now Lin Mu is still in the early stages, and as things develop, he will soon surpass our Chen family. Lin Mu’s personal potential is imnse..."
"Should we secretly throw obstacles in Lin Mu’s path, so his developnt isn’t so smooth?" Aunt Wu asked softly.
"No rush now. Don’t you forget, Han Si Hai is not easy to deal with either. He has four top-notch experts under his command—each one a formidable figure. Let the two families fight it out first, and we’ll sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, thereby reaping the benefits. When one is about to fall, we’ll secretly give them a hand! Let the two families keep fighting endlessly. One day, hm hm..." A cruel light flashed in Chen Shiwei’s eyes.
"The Young Master is indeed wise." Aunt Wu praised on the side.
"Alright, we’ll leave it at that for now. Prepare so cash and co with to register for the auction this ti. Only those whose assets et the requirents can participate!" Chen Shiwei stood up and said.
"Okay, Young Master, I’ll arrange it right away!"
Lin Mu left Yunhai Mansion and, to keep a low profile and disguise his identity, took a taxi to City Hall. Just as Lin Mu got out of the car, a black rcedes drove up behind and stopped next to him. The car didn’t turn off the engine; instead, the windows on the passenger and rear side rolled down, revealing a face that made Lin Mu nauseous.
Han Si Hai sneered at Lin Mu, his eyes full of disdain. He snorted lightly and rolled up the window, while from the back, Jue Qing shook his finger at Lin Mu, signalling that he wasn’t good enough.
Lin Mu looked at Jue Qing disdainfully, sneered, and gave Jue Qing the middle finger! Jue Qing only snorted lightly, rolled up the window, and drove towards the parking lot!
Just as Lin Mu was about to head into City Hall, he heard soone calling him. The voice was very familiar—it was none other than Chen Shiwei. It seed they were all here for the fat piece of at that is Kangyu Foot Bath City!
"Haha, long ti no see, Younger Brother Lin," Chen Shiwei greeted with a smile as he approached.
"Yes, long ti no see."
"You’re here to register too, Younger Brother Lin?" Chen Shiwei asked knowingly.
"Yes, who wouldn’t want a bite of such a juicy piece of at? It’s just that... Eldest Young Master Chen, you’re already so fat, aren’t you afraid of eating yourself to death with this piece of at?" Lin Mu joked.
"Haha, how could I be afraid of that? People say, the fatter you are, the greater your appetite, and you like eating at more. Who would give up such succulent at?"
"In that case, Eldest Young Master Chen, be careful. I’m a skinny guy, and I must eat at to get fat, so I’m determined to try hard. I’m very confident, you know!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Haha, I’d be happy if you get it, Younger Brother Lin, but this at might not be so tasty. Even if I don’t compete with you, there are others out there!" Chen Shiwei said with deep aning.
Lin Mu naturally knew who Chen Shiwei was referring to. In Wancheng, only two super-rich families have exceptional strength—one is Chen Shiwei, and the other is Han Si Hai. Besides himself, it must be Han Si Hai!
"Haha, rest assured, Brother. I’ve said it before; I have full confidence!" Lin Mu laughed.
"That’s good, that’s good. Co on, let’s go in together!" Chen Shiwei smiled, wrapped his arm around Lin Mu’s shoulder, and walked into City Hall.
Inside the building, Lin Mu and Chen Shiwei found Vice Director Zhang, who was in charge of auction approvals. Vice Director Zhang’s na was Zhang Liugen. With a fat face, short stature, and a mole under his mouth, though he looked a bit unsightly, he wielded quite so power. Such people are well-connected in both lawful and unlawful realms!
Lin Mu and Chen Shiwei knocked and entered. Zhang Liugen was processing docunts in the office. Looking up, he naturally recognized Chen Shiwei, one of Wancheng’s three major families, having dealt with him several tis. However, the Lin Mu beside him, he had never t. But out of bureaucratic politeness, whether friend or foe, he always smiled.
"Haha, Eldest Young Master Chen is here!"
Zhang Liugen ca forward to shake hands with Chen Shiwei, and politely shook hands with Lin Mu too, though his attitude towards Lin Mu was not as enthusiastic as towards Chen Shiwei.
In the current era in Huaxia, to gain respect, you must have money and power. Lin Mu and Chen Shiwei ford a stark contrast; Lin Mu was still an unknown youngster, naturally not comparable to Chen Shiwei! However, Lin Mu didn’t mind. He had long planned how to deal with Zhang Liugen. There were still many uses for him in this auction!
"Co, have a seat, you two!"
Zhang Liugen courteously invited the two to sit and brewed a few cups of kung fu tea.
Chen Shiwei picked up his tea and took a sip. "Haha, Director Zhang’s kung fu tea tastes good! I still have a few packs of top-grade special Dragon Well tea back ho, I’ll personally bring them to you soday."
"Haha, Eldest Young Master Chen, how could I accept that?"
Zhang Liugen chuckled and declined, but he didn’t sharply reject it, leaving room for maneuver. If he didn’t decline, it would seem too greedy!
"Director Zhang, don’t be polite. Why are we being polite with each other? If you’re too polite, I won’t be happy!"
Chen Shiwei seed to be getting upset, which of course gave Zhang Liugen a way out. When soone is upset, how can you not accept him? In fact, Zhang Liugen had been waiting for Chen Shiwei to say this.
"Then I’ll accept gratefully, haha..." Zhang Liugen laughed heartily a few tis.
Sitting beside, Lin Mu eyed Zhang Liugen. The officialdom in Huaxia is equally corrupt; one can’t say Zhang Liugen is a corrupt official, but he sure likes benefits. This suits Lin Mu just fine; it’ll be much easier to deal with him.
"Director Zhang, we’re here today to handle the auction qualification approval." Lin Mu didn’t want to waste ti.
