Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 196 The Feng Family’s Support
The people in the Chi family began to panic. They exchanged glances with each other, trying to come up with a strategy.
But the situation was out of their control. Beads of sweat appeared on Uncle Chi's forehead. His hand was tightly gripping the bidding card, and the anger in his heart continued to burn.
Ji Wan felt relieved watching this scene. Chi Wenyan beside him moved. His voice was cold and decisive, like the sound of a spring. He raised the price again without hesitation: "Eighty-five million."
The people of the Chi family were almost driven crazy. They didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
But we cannot give up this piece of land in the west of the city easily, after all, it involves many interests.
At this moment, Mrs. Feng raised the price again: "Ninety million." Her voice was still steady, echoing in the conference hall, like the death knell of the Chi family.
The entire venue was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by the ever-increasing prices.
"Second Master, Third Master, we really can't do this anymore. At this price, we're completely losing money. Even the favors we pay for won't be enough to fill this huge hole. Ninety million, and if we go up, it will be hundreds of millions. Let's cut our losses in time."
"Yeah, judging by that kid's momentum, he's going to have to do it soon."
The younger generations of the Chi family began to dissuade him, but Uncle Chi clenched his fists and was still hesitant.
Everyone's eyes were scanning back and forth between the Chi family, Chi Wenyan and Madam Feng, their eyes full of surprised gossip.
"Forget it, I don't want it this fast."
"Third Uncle." Uncle Chi obviously didn't want to give up, but he also knew the situation and had to stop.
Chi Wenyan glanced at the people from the Chi family and sneered. This piece of land is located in a prime location. It is definitely worth the price if it is developed, and it will double in value.
Of course, the Chi family didn't want to give up, but unfortunately, the Chi family's strength was no longer what it used to be, especially with the internal strife in recent years and the bankruptcy of those foreign companies, which naturally added a lot of pressure.
Otherwise, they would have taken the land even if it cost them hundreds of millions.
He could have acquired the land without the Feng family's help, but he was willing to accept the favor since the Feng family had helped him. If the Feng family needed anything, he would also be willing to help them with all his heart.
In the end, the land worth 85 million yuan successfully fell into Chi Wenyan's hands.
Ji Wan smiled and said congratulations, her voice soft and with a hint of pride, like a beautiful ragdoll cat, which made Chi Wenyan feel itchy.
Chi Wenyan followed his heart and pinched Ji Wan's cheek, but of course he couldn't avoid being beaten by the Ragdoll cat.
The two of them were flirting here without paying attention to anyone around, but Chi Wenyan's action was undoubtedly like dropping a bombshell into a calm lake, shocking many people.
In Kyoto, the Chi family's power is like a towering mountain, dominating the entire business community. There are very few people who dare to challenge the Chi family.
And Chi Wenyan, the man who was once exiled by the Chi family, is competing with the Chi family so blatantly. Some people just speculated whether it was an internal conflict within the Chi family, but now it seems to be much more serious than an internal conflict.
People with a keen sense of smell have already smelled an unusual odor. It seems that things are going to change in the Chi family.
After the bidding ended, the tense atmosphere in the venue remained, and people gradually got up from their seats and left.
But everyone who walked out couldn't help but look at Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan.
Just like a cat that smells fish and wants to see a good show.
The people in the Chi family had gloomy faces, especially Uncle Chi, whose eyes were burning with flames of anger.
They stood up and walked towards Chi Wenyan with suppressed anger.
At this time, the people from the Feng family were chatting with Chi Wenyan.
"Mom, you were so cool when you did that just now!" Feng Hao looked at his mother with starry eyes.
Madam Feng smiled and shook her head, her elegant and beautiful face showing a look of doting and a bit of speechlessness.
"You little brat, what's so amazing about this? I haven't even seen how powerful I am."
Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Madam Feng walked over, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said softly, "Xiao Chi, now that you're back, stay here. You're a top-notch person, and this is the sky where you should soar. If you have any problems, just tell your aunt, and I'll help you if I can."
"Thank you, Aunt Feng." Chi Wenyan was rarely so well-behaved and docile.
"This must be Xiao Wan, right? She's so pretty. From a distance I thought she was a celebrity."
Mrs. Feng came closer to Ji Wan, her face full of admiration, praising Ji Wan so much that he blushed. Especially since Mrs. Feng was so bold and kind, it was really hard not to like her.
The two of them praised each other until the Chi family came over in a mighty procession.
Mrs. Feng's face instantly lost its cheerful expression, like a blooming flower suddenly attacked by frost.
The people of the Chi family were also very embarrassed. After all, they had just lost to Chi Wenyan at the bidding meeting, and now they had to face the unfriendly attitude of the Feng family.
Uncle Chi gritted his teeth and greeted the people from the Feng family with a forced smile: "Oh, it's a coincidence that everyone from the Feng family is here to bid today. The bidding is over. I heard that the Feng family is very busy. You shouldn't stay here and waste your time." Although there was a hint of a polite "invitation" in his words, his words implicitly meant to drive them away.
Feng Hao snorted coldly and responded bluntly: "This venue is not run by your Chi family. We can leave whenever we want. Why, you just lost the bidding and now you want to kick us out? People in the Chi family really can't afford to lose." His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight at everyone in the Chi family.
The Chi family's expressions turned even uglier. Second Uncle Chi's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't get angry. He could only suppress his anger and turned his gaze to Chi Wenyan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wenyan, you really gave our Chi family a 'big surprise' today. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for the Chi family by doing this?"
Chi Wenyan just glanced at him indifferently and said calmly: "This is fair competition, and I have done nothing wrong. Besides, I am no longer a member of the Chi family, and my behavior has nothing to do with the Chi family." His words left the people of the Chi family speechless for a moment, but they could not find a reason to refute.
The people from the Feng family watched this scene from the side, with a gloating smile on their faces. Seeing the Chi family suffer a defeat, they were naturally very happy.
"That's right, this is a bidding, not an internal competition within your Chi family. How come your Chi family is the boss and gives in to you in everything?" Ji Wan continued to add fuel to the fire.
"You little girl! What do you know!"
"As an elder, you shouldn't feel ashamed to embarrass a junior." Madam Feng sneered and walked over to stand in front of the juniors.
"Let's not talk about this for now. It's time to settle the accounts between us, Second and Third Brother Chi."
