Chapter 116 - AuctionComing out from hibiscus garden, Huo Xi Wen was a little dejected.
She had originally thought that asking Luo Qing Yun to borrow money was the equivalent of killing two birds with one stone.Since it could save Ye Zi Quan, at the same time, it could make Luo Qing Yun understand that Su Chen Hao loved her, and that they would have the chance to be together in the future.
But when she saw Luo Qing Yun and chatted, she realized that what she had done was basically useless.
Right now, the time was still not ripe yet. Telling Luo Qing Yun the truth did not give her any hope, but instead made her firm her determination to never give up on Su Qi Ze.
What a loss!On the way back, Peng Cai Ling called her and asked if the problem with the money had been resolved.
She only answered once, that she would settle it, then hung up the phone and drove towards the villa.
In the middle of the night, in the villa.
The light in the room on the second floor was still on.The light yellow curtain covered the entire floor, and the light coming from inside could clearly see a slim figure leaning against the window as if he was talking on the phone.
"Xi Wen, have you thought it through clearly? This is something your granny left you, do you really want to auction it? " The voice on the other end was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Yes, I have thought it through. However, this matter cannot be revealed to anyone, especially my father. If he were to find out about this, he would definitely be angry. Tomorrow, I will send the item over to you." Huo Xi Wen's voice became choked with emotions.
"No problem. Alright, come to our auction house tomorrow morning. Since there will be an auction tomorrow night, I will hurry up and finish the materials in time for the evening auction." The other party agreed.
"Okay, thank you, Zhao Long." Huo Xi Wen said gratefully.
However, the other party laughed, "Why are you saying such things? What is our relationship? Normally, I wouldn't be able to help you even if I wanted to. Leave this matter to me and you can rest assured. Other than that, I think you should guard against the fellow that Peng Cai Ling introduced you to. I feel that this brat is not simple, you better not be tricked by him. "
"Yes, I know. Thank you for your concern." Huo Xi Wen's voice gradually became softer.
Zhao Long knew that he couldn't say too much, so he comforted his a little more, and said goodbye.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Xi Wen threw the phone onto the bed. She walked to the dressing table, opened the drawer and took out a delicate box.
Angele opened the box and saw a green jade bracelet inside the box.He picked up the bracelet and placed it on his palm, carefully stroking it. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of attachment and reluctance.
It was a relic left to her by her late grandmother, and it was for her dowry, and now it was to be sold.Ye Zi Quan, you better be worth it for me to save you once!
It was almost a sleepless night.The next day.
In the morning, Huo Xi Wen got out of bed and drove to the auction house.
As Zhao Long had talked with Huo Xi Wen on the phone yesterday, he came to the office early.After Huo Xi Wen parked the car in the car park, she directly rode on the elevator and went upstairs.
Zhao Long was waiting for her at the entrance of the company building. When the two met, Zhao Long led her to his office.
It was still early, and the auction house was not ready for work yet. Therefore, other than the cleaning lady, no one else in the company had come to work yet.After entering the office, Zhao Long invited her to sit, and poured a cup of water. Finally, he sat on the sofa opposite her: "Have you thought it through? You really want to auction this bracelet? "
Huo Xi Wen nodded his head: "I have already thought it through, and hope that you can help me bid a good price."
Just that, that brat called Ye Zi Quan, is really worth it for you to do this? "This is the result of him keeping guard by himself and stealing from others. It's not anything else, he can steal 10 million from others today and he will owe them 100 million tomorrow. Don't let him off so easily." Zhao Long advised with good intentions.
Huo Xi Wen shook her head, "He does not have this chance, because of this matter, he lost her job, and there is a stain on her resume, so it will be difficult for him to find another job like the one before him. Besides, I've checked and found out that his mother really has leukemia and needs money. I think, for the sake of his filial piety, I should help him. "Hearing that, Zhao Long could not help but sigh: "You, ah, are just too kind and simple, to be easily tricked by others. "Give me the bracelet and sign this contract. If you can successfully sell it tonight, then the money will reach your account within a week."
Zhao Long said as he handed a contract over to her."A week? "Can you hurry up, you know, this is the money for saving lives." Huo Xi Wen didn't even look at the contract before signing it.
"Three days at the fastest. We have to go through a lot of procedures, so there are a lot of formalities …" Zhao Long said.
"Then... Alright, so be it three days. In short, you have to hurry … " Huo Xi Wen had no other choice but to agree.
After exiting the auction house, the sun outside had already become somewhat dazzling.
She was wearing sunglasses as she got on the car and headed towards the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude building …
Ten in the morning. The Royal Court Group.
Inside Office of the President.
Su Chen Hao sat on the spacious and comfortable large class chair, and his clear and cold gaze indifferently looked at Qiu Ye, who was reporting to him about his work."CEO, you have already taken down two of the three plots, but the last one …" Qiu Ye looked at Su Chen Hao hesitantly, and seeing that his expression did not change much, he carefully continued: "When we were closing in the last piece of land, we met an official who refused to be demolished no matter what."
"You're not willing to die just like that?" Su Chen Hao repeated these words as his black eyes became increasingly cold."Ten million gold coins, how much do they want?" Vice President Li asked.
"It's not a matter of money …" Qiu Ye said: "I have already sent people to investigate, the property seems to belong to the Ming Zhu Group's Fu Mu Yun."
When Vice President Li heard the name Fu Mu Yun, his expression immediately changed, as he looked towards Su Chen Hao.
Su Chen Hao's cold face was covered with a thin layer of frost, it was so cold that no one dared to look at it directly.
After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "What does he want?"
Qiu Ye replied: This subordinate is not clear, there were several times when people from our project department went to find him, to meet him, and to talk about the demolition process, but he was not even given a chance to see us, and completely ignored us.
"If that's the case, then we don't need to care too much about it. The government has already sold that piece of land to us, so we can just tear it down." Vice President Li's way of doing things had always been swift and decisive, he did not care about all that.Qiu Ye said worriedly: "But the other party is not an ordinary commoner. If we were to come here and force them, when the time comes, things will get out of hand. I'm afraid this project …"
Su Chen Hao continuously swirled an exquisite lighter in his hand. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said: "Use my name to make an appointment with him."
"CEO, you wish to meet him personally?" After Qiu Ye heard this, his face was full of shock.
"Maybe that Fu fellow was waiting for Chen Hao to go find him. He did not even put those small fries from before in his eyes." Vice President Li revealed the truth with a single sentence.
Hearing that, Qiu Ye seemed to understand the situation, and immediately nodded: "Alright, I will contact his secretary right now."
Just then, Vice President Li's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and muttered a few words. After hanging up, he looked at Su Chen Hao and said: There's an auction tonight, right at our hotel. I heard that there are a lot of treasures there, would you like to take a look? and picked out a present for my little brother's wife. "
The corner of Su Chen Hao's eyes slightly narrowed, but he did not say anything.
The Vice President Li understood what he meant and quickly said: "Then I'll get the manager to leave the best seat for us."
As he spoke, he turned and left.
After Qiu Ye made a call, he turned and looked at Su Chen Hao, "CEO, are you going to participate in the auction tonight?"
"Why?" Su Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"I just had a fairy tale with Fu Mu Yun's secretary. It seems like he will be participating tonight."
"Very good." It seemed like he could meet up with this person with a complicated background in advance.
"Then I'll inform the Miss Huo and ask her to accompany you to the auction tonight." Qiu Ye said.
Su Chen Hao nodded his head, and agreed.
Night fell.
The entire Y City was enveloped in a multicolored rainbow, bustling with noise and excitement.
In the banquet hall of the 12th floor of the Royal Hotel, many famous figures had already arrived.
They were all well-dressed and had a beautiful appearance, which made the once grand banquet hall even more radiant.
This banquet hall wasn't too big, and those who were able to enter weren't ordinary individuals.
Small scale auctions like this one were held around once a month in the Y City, and they were held only for legendary treasures.Just as everyone was flipping through the documents and chatting with the people around them, the main door of the banquet hall suddenly opened.
Fu Mu Yun walked in with large strides, dressed in an ink-blue casual suit, followed by her assistant Yang Yi.
Fu Mu Yun's appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
This was the first time he appeared in public since he returned last year to build a business empire in the Ming Zhu Group.
In the past, there had been a lot of gossip about him, but very few people had actually met him.Almost all of Ming Zhu Group's public relations activities could be settled with the help of Yang Yi.
Everyone was naturally surprised to see him in such a situation.The manager of the hotel had been waiting respectfully in the banquet hall for a long time, when he saw Fu Mu Yun, he immediately came up to him from the side of the stage, greeting him while leading the way: "CEO Fu, I have arranged the best seat for you, right in the middle of the first row."
Fu Mu Yun did not even look at the manager as she walked straight towards the first row.
Yang Yi took out a photo from his suit pocket and handed it over to the manager, saying in a low voice: "This thing, CEO Fu is determined to get it, go and inform the people from the auction house."The manager took the photo and glanced at it. He immediately understood and nodded. "Yes, I'll go and arrange it."
In front of the hotel, Luo Qing Yun held Su Qi Ze's hand and just got off the car.
During dinner time, Su Qi Ze suddenly told her that he wanted to bring her to participate in the auction. Although she was not very familiar with the details of the auction and was not very interested, he could not reject Su Qi Ze's offer.This could also be considered as the first time Su Qi Ze made a public appearance after he was discharged. She thought, maybe it's some kind of social gathering that's very important to him.
