Sixty million!

Jiang Nanyu raised his sign again, staring at Han Sinian with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Eighty million!!!"

Han Sinian, fearless once again, raised his sign and shouted.

Facing Jiang Nanyu's gaze, Han Sinian gave him a provocative smile and let out a soft snort.

Jiangnan Island: "!!!"

Blanch!

"Jiang Nanyu is a bit inhuman, but Han Sinian, you're a real scoundrel," Xie Ming couldn't help but remark.

Upon hearing this, Han Sinian couldn't help but kick him and glare at him fiercely.

"Shut up!"

"Say that again and I'll kill you!"

"oh."

Faced with Han Sinian's harsh words, Xie Ming remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, and even looked at Han Sinian with the curiosity of a child.

"So how do you plan to kill me?"

"Should we tell me so we can discuss it together?"

"As you know, I'm a picky person. If you're going to kill me, my death has to be high-class and impressive, right?"

"roll!!!"

Faced with Xie Ming's provocation, Han Sinian was so angry that he gasped for breath a few times and then kicked Xie Ming, that bastard, hard again.

"You bitch!!!"

Han Sinian angrily cursed.

Xie Ming grinned broadly, "Not as cheap as you."

Han Sinian: "..."

"Thump!"

"Eighty-one million, once!"

"Thump!"

"Eighty-two million, once!"

"Is anyone else bidding higher?"

"If not, then today's winner of this piece of land in the east of the city is our General Manager Jiang!"

Upon hearing this, Han Sinian finally snapped out of his anger and quickly raised his sign again.

"Ninety million!!!"

It was clear that Han Sinian was also struggling, and he was no longer so unscrupulous in raising prices.

But he stubbornly argued with Jiangnan Island and refused to give up bidding for the land in the eastern part of the city.

Even though this piece of land was not within the Han family's business territory, Han Sinian continued to indulge his willfulness.

Faced with Han Sinian's repeated provocations, Jiang Nanyu gripped the bidding paddle tightly, his eyes blatantly filled with barely suppressed anger.

"How about we just forget about it?"

A young girl with an unfamiliar face was looking at Jiang Nanyu with a worried expression.

"The Jiang family is determined to get the land in the east of the city." Jiang Nanyu glanced at the woman, his brows furrowed.

"But this price is too high. According to what you said before, it wouldn't be worthwhile to raise the price further, would it?" the woman said hesitantly.

"What do you know?" Jiang Nanyu's tone carried a hint of impatience.

"The value of the land in the eastern part of the city is far more than what you see at the moment."

"Once it develops, the Jiang family's business will far surpass that of many other families in Kyoto."

"The value I told you before was just the current estimated value of the land in the east of the city, but there is still a lot of potential for growth beyond that estimate..."

"Then what should we do?"

Seeing Jiang Nanyu's increasingly grim expression, the woman's worry deepened.

"One hundred million!"

With his thin lips pressed tightly together, after a brief silence, Jiang Nanyu raised his bidding paddle again.

Upon hearing this, the entire auction fell silent once again.

The auctioneer on the stage, however, was visibly excited.

"Thump!"

"One hundred million, just once!"

"Is anyone else bidding higher?"

...

"Thump!"

"One hundred million, twice!"

"If no one bids higher, then the final owner of this land will be Mr. Jiang of our Jiang Group!"

...

"Thump!"

"One hundred million, three times!"

With the third strike of the gavel, the final decision on who would acquire the land in the eastern part of the city was successfully made.

Jiang Nanyu got the land as he wished, but despite the congratulations from the crowd around him, he couldn't feel happy or smile.

The final transaction price was too high, far exceeding his initial expectations, but it was still within his acceptable bottom line.

Moreover, what he found most unacceptable was that Qin Wan and Jiang Yan had clearly stated during the day that the owner of the land in the east of the city wanted to meet with him to discuss cooperation.

What happened to our agreed meeting?

What happened to the promised business negotiations?

Why did land in the eastern part of the city suddenly appear at the auction?

What exactly happened during that time?

And what about the Jiang family...?

He had just spoken with the old man and Jiang's parents during the day, expressing his determination to acquire the land in the east of the city.

Furthermore, he also mentioned that Xie Ming had said the landowner in the eastern part of the city wanted to discuss cooperation with him privately...

The old man praised him for this, saying that he was more capable than Jiang Yan and that the future of the Jiang family depended on him to bring glory to the family.

And now?

Now that things have escalated to this point, how is he going to explain things to his father when he gets home?

Jiang Nanyu grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his face became increasingly gloomy and unpleasant, causing the woman beside him to look uneasy.

"Nanyu? Are you alright?"

"Didn't we already acquire the land in the east of the city? Why are you still unhappy?"

Instead of being comforted by the woman's concern, Jiang Nanyu became even more irritable.

"It's no use telling you," Jiang Nanyu said impatiently. "You're not Qin Wan, so you can't help me even if I tell you."

Upon hearing this, the woman's face paled, and her eyes showed deep hurt.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Nanyu, it's all my fault. I wanted to help you."

"It's all my fault for being useless. I didn't have a good background or a good family. I can't help you..."

"Waaaaah..."

As she spoke, the woman's eyes reddened, and her face showed deep pain.

Seeing this, Jiang Nanyu's eyes showed a hint of irritation.

That's not what I meant...

"Don't cry."

"Go to the restroom and tidy up. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Jiang Nanyu turned and walked towards the entrance of the auction house, leaving the girl alone to sit there and secretly shed tears.

Seeing this, Qin Wan suddenly leaned close to Jiang Yan's ear and whispered, "When did that girl next to Jiangnan Island appear?"

"Why didn't I see it before?"

"And I noticed that the way he and that girl interacted seemed a bit different..."

Is it the person we know?

Qin Wan's sudden approach caused Jiang Yan's tall body to stiffen slightly.

In particular, she was very close to him, and as she spoke, her warm breath constantly sprayed onto his sensitive earlobe and neck, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

Jiang Yan felt his breath catch in his throat, and his heart seemed to skip a beat...

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 4, current favorability is 80.

After a moment of pause, Jiang Yan quickly composed himself and looked at her with feigned calmness.

"Yes, it's her."

"The girl arranged by Han Sinian."

"The girl came in just before the auction started, and she sat down right next to Jiang Nanyu without moving or leaving, so none of us noticed her."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan nodded in understanding.

"I see."

"I don't think Jiang Nanyu treated her that well..." Qin Wan muttered softly.

Jiang Yan looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

He really wanted to speak...

I really want to say to her...

Could you...?
