Ning Wanxi watched Luo Chao's departing back, thinking to herself, thankfully he helped, instantly providing a valuable new product formula for the costics company. Clearly a very capable person, yet so unambitious, one wonders when he'll truly grow up—
In the Public Resource Trading Center of Southeast City, a vast auction hall sits at the deepest part of the center. When Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi arrived, they were shocked to find the place almost entirely empty.
However, Luo Chao quickly noticed two people. One was a young man dressed in casual clothes with a sharp face, imdiately recognizable as trouble, and the other was a forty-sothing man with a cold expression and a trace of gloom, an unsettling feeling Luo Chao found very familiar!
These two soon noticed Ning Wanxi and Luo Chao's sudden arrival. Their eyes shot out cold looks, evidently surprised and even hostile.
The two n from the Land Resources Bureau on the auction stage were also speechless with surprise upon seeing Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi. When Ning Wanxi approached and submitted the company's bidding docunts to one of them, he forced a bitter smile and said, "You probably aren't locals, right?"
Ning Wanxi's heart trembled, her keen mind imdiately understanding the civil servant's implication — locals dare not co, only outsiders would bid without knowing.
Luo Chao stepped forward and chuckled, "Is there a big difference between locals and outsiders?"
The civil servant glanced at him, "You'll find out soon. I've taken your docunts, please take a seat, the bidding is about to begin."
When Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi sat in the front row, the young man a few rows back suddenly said, "Kid, if you don't want to die, get out."
Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi were shocked at how quickly he threw down threats, truly a nasty character. No wonder no one dares to bid; those who dare get intimidated and chased away.
At this mont, Luo Chao sneered, "What if I want to die? How about you co and see off?"
"You punk, do you even know who I am," the young man said more viciously, his eyes glaring like a copper bell, "Acting tough, utterly unaware of who's boss."
Luo Chao smacked his lips, "What is it now, another one of those Southeast Four Young Masters?"
Upon hearing this, the young man was stunned, taking a long ti to recover. He frowned and said, "You're Luo Chao!"
This young man was indeed Yang He Ping, one of the Southeast Four Young Masters, here for the bidding on this new district's land. He'd already heard of Luo Chao's reputation: just a few nights ago, he slapped Director Ye across the face and knocked down over ten police officers, utterly domineering.
"Since you know, why ask? If you don't want a beating, shut your filthy mouth. I'm not as uncivilized as you, we compete fairly," Luo Chao said coldly.
At this mont, the previously silent middle-aged man spoke up, "Yang Shao, usually it's just the two of us competing. This ti there's an extra company. I find it quite intriguing, don't you think?"
Yang He Ping tightened his fists. He already learned of Luo Chao's prowess from Xiao Yong, knowing his strength is on par with Xiao Yong, hardly a match. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, he quickly said, "Good, let's have a fair competition and see who cos out on top."
However, after Yang He Ping finished, the middle-aged man gave him a look, his lips curling in a cold smile. What Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi didn't know was that even though these two were not from the sa company, they were colluded. Since this was an auction, it couldn't be just one company competing, so these two companies colluded to acquire land ownership at a low price, it was all pre-arranged.
Luo Chao glanced at the middle-aged man, increasingly feeling that the aura emanating from his body was sowhat familiar, but couldn't quite recall it.
Ning Wanxi softly said, "You've just arrived in Southeast City, and won't have any peace."
Luo Chao smiled, "I'm just too handso, always soone jealous making trouble for ."
"Bah!" Ning Wanxi spat, "Never seen soone so shaless!"
But in Ning Wanxi's heart she thought, these two companies are so overbearing, their influence must be deeply rooted in Southeast City. For them to dare act in this manner, they must be two of the more powerful group companies in Southeast City. In this scenario, a two-versus-one situation is indeed troubleso.
Before coming to Southeast City, Ning Wanxi noticed this plot of land on the new district online, investing much effort there. If it fails, it'll an starting over, sothing President Ning is reluctant to see happen.
At this ti, a host from the trading center ca onto the stage and loudly said, "Hello everyone, this land auction is for a plot of wasteland in the new district. Let introduce it in detail: total area of this land is 25,000 square ters, a transfer period of 50 years, starting price of 30 million, with each minimum increase at 1 million."
"Now I'll announce the three companies participating in the auction," the host cleared his throat and continued, "First, the real estate company under Prince Group Company of Southeast City, second, the real estate company under Heaven and Earth Group Company, and lastly—"
The host glanced at Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi, his eyes filled with skepticism. He couldn't understand where they gathered the courage, a company from Jiangning City daring to co to Southeast City to bid against these two? Haven't they noticed the vast Southeast City, only these two ca to bid? Any land they fancy, other real estate companies dare not co.
"Lastly, it's the real estate company under Tengyuan Group Company," the host said, "Now, let the bidding begin!"
Yang He Ping was the first to raise a hand, "31 million!"
"35 million!" When Ning Wanxi raised her hand, it imdiately shocked Yang He Ping and the middle-aged man, a sudden 4 million increase, clearly this woman is dead set on getting this land.
Yang He Ping and the middle-aged man's faces show a chilling look, their eyes flashing murderous intent. They would usually bid 2 million above starting price at most; this woman, on the other hand, instantly raised it by 4 million.
As expected of President Ning, making a move so dominantly powerful, Luo Chao thought to himself, the two behind are probably a bit annoyed by now.
A heroine! The host glanced at Ning Wanxi, a stunningly beautiful woman like a fairy, and also a strong woman, impressive!
