Sheng Xuan smiled wickedly, "Brilliant! You hit the nail on the head."

Ning Lang shrugged and said in a low voice, "More than two months ago, the whole of Rongcheng started to buzz about this. The Ming family and the Lin family were already planning to join forces to attack the largest part of Lingshan. Shengju also seems to be eyeing it covetously."

"The big, fatty meat is about to be served, who can resist drooling?" Sheng Xuan flipped his long legs over the small sofa and sat opposite her.

Ning Lang glared at him irritably, "Do you have the money to bid? I don't! I can't run this far."

Sheng Xuan stared intently at her slender, beautiful legs, raising an eyebrow: "What? All looks and no substance?"

"Get lost!" Ning Lang crossed his legs and wrapped them around his side. "As long as they're presentable, it's better than some people who are neither good-looking nor useful."

Forehead?

Sheng Xuan pursed her lips and explained, "It's not appropriate for me to show up. Whether it looks good or is useful, it's all useless."

Ning Lang raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "Which one do you want? I can only afford the smallest one at most."

“I want that piece!” Sheng Xuan’s bright eyes gleamed as he whispered, “The one next to Lingshan. You can buy it for me; you don’t need to pay. I’ve made quite a bit of money on the N country’s stock market recently, and I’ll transfer it to your account in installments over the next few days. Once it’s bought, it can be registered in your name.”

Ning Lang chuckled softly.

This guy has always had a poor emotional intelligence, but he's exceptionally good at making money.

All the initial investment in the company came from him, plus the start-up capital, which was already a very large sum.

Who knew that after hiding for a month or two, he would make so much money again!

When it comes to making money, she has always felt inferior to others.

She squinted and thought for a moment, then explained, "The lowest bid for that piece of land is 100 million, but not many people want it. The hammer will fall at most 150 million."

Sheng Xuan's lips curled into a wicked chuckle.

"I can barely scrape together 100 million; the rest is up to you."

Ning Lang's brows twitched slightly. He asked, "Using underhanded tactics? Why? Such a small piece of land, surely you wouldn't be so desperate as to take anything?"

“Buy it first, then make long-term plans.” Sheng Xuan replied, “I’ll handle the tactics.”

He used to be a typical hoodlum, so this kind of thing was a piece of cake for him, and he wouldn't feel any pressure.

Ning Lang nodded, his eyes clearly showing fatigue.

"You can do whatever you want, just don't let anyone catch you doing anything wrong. Get those three downstairs to help you. I'm a bit busy these days, but I'll try to help you with the bidding when I have time. You can prepare the rest yourself."

He frowned slightly as he stared at her pretty face.

"What's wrong? You've lost a little weight, and you don't look well."

Ning Lang lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

"I didn't sleep very well, but it's nothing serious."

She only lost two pounds; she didn't even know until she stepped on the scale herself.

What kind of look does he have? How can he tell just by looking at that?

Sheng Xuan didn't believe it at all.

She's the kind of person who can remain calm and composed even if the sky falls. With such a big heart, how could she possibly not sleep well!

"What happened?" he asked, guessing. "The restaurant?"

Ning Lang explained gently, "Winter is approaching, and last year's recipes are a bit outdated. I plan to remix some new recipes. Several restaurants will need to be replaced, so it's quite a lot of work."

Sheng Xuan looked at her suspiciously, not believing her "going with the flow" explanation at all.

"Oh...then you should take care to rest, don't overwork yourself to death for a little money."

How could her brilliant mind, with its hundreds of gigabytes of data, be stumped by something she's most professional and skilled at?!

She can fool others, but she can't fool him at all!

Ning Lang lazily sat up. "Work starts tomorrow, and your workload won't be any less than mine. With you as my scapegoat, I'm not afraid of anything..."

She had just stood up when suddenly everything went black and she was overcome with a strong feeling of dizziness!

"Clang!" Sheng Xuan was so frightened that her face turned pale instantly!
