"Mrs. Song, this is the list of bidders for today's auction. Please take a look!"
The list was only officially released to the public last night.
Liu Yujie, with her delicate fingers raised, adopted a haughty and aloof demeanor as she picked up the list by a small corner of it.
Number One, Number Two...
The third bidder is a Japanese company with strong financial backing in China. The government prefers to cooperate with foreign companies to obtain more advanced production technology and increase production capacity. It seems that this is the strongest competitor today.
Liu Yujie lingered for a long time on the information about the third candidate.
With the Song family as their backing, and having already made all the necessary arrangements, their chances of winning against bidder number three were about 50/50.
Then Liu Yujie's gaze fell on the information of bidder number six.
"Lin? Where did this guy come from?"
Suddenly asked a question, the two grown men accompanying him broke out in a cold sweat.
These people were still hoping to get rich by attaching themselves to the Song family. Liu Yujie's question touched on their blind spot, and bidder number six had revealed almost no information.
The garment factory manager's son-in-law replied, "I've never heard of him before. He must be an insignificant nobody. Mrs. Song, I think the most important thing right now is to study bidder number three. After all, they have the backing of their Japanese parent company, so they will naturally receive official favor!"
Liu Yujie rolled her eyes unhappily. Because they still needed to work together in the car, she didn't throw a tantrum as she usually did at the slightest inconvenience.
The garment factory manager's son-in-law received a disdainful look, smiled, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
His gaze, seen through the rearview mirror, met that of the garment factory's deputy director's nephew, who was driving. Both men felt a surge of displeasure.
If they weren't short of funds and hadn't accumulated enough connections to smooth things over, these people wouldn't have considered cooperating with the Song family.
In the eyes of the factory leaders and others, the Song family had gained an enormous advantage.
They've gotten a good deal and are now acting innocent. For such an important matter, they've sent a woman to make a name for herself, and she's just the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family. She's not even the current mistress of the Song family. It makes them seem particularly insincere.
Since the start of the collaboration, Liu Yujie has maintained an arrogant attitude, which has increasingly fueled dissatisfaction. The suppressed emotions will eventually erupt, and that day will come soon after the auction ends.

When Zhou Hongyu arrived, the auction was about to begin.
Separated by a large gate, staff checked their information, comparing it one by one.
Zhou Hongyu glared at Chairman Lin: "You shouldn't have driven that beat-up car out the door!"
When the luxury car drove out, a large number of car enthusiasts suddenly appeared on the usually deserted main road, turning a 20-minute drive into more than an hour. The two men in the car were particularly excited.
He parked the car on the side of the road and kept excitedly discussing it with the car enthusiasts gathered around it.
If Zhou Hongyu hadn't actually gotten angry at the end, she might not have made it to the auction.
If she misses the auction, she'll kill both of those men!
With ten minutes to go before the auction begins, and the information confirmed to be correct, the staff went to consult the person in charge of the auction.
Chairman Lin said smugly, "I knew it! With me here, you won't be late!"
Zhou Bing: "Exactly! Aunt, you're getting too worked up; it's not good for your health!"
Zhou Hongyu couldn't control Chairman Lin's carefree attitude, but she could control Zhou Bing. She raised her hand and tapped him on the head.
"If you make me angry again, I'll beat you into an idiot!"
Zhou Bing: "Eek~"
Chairman Lin laughed heartily: "Zhou Bing, after the auction, the two of us will go for a drive, and she can take the bus home by herself!"
Zhou Bing: "Gah!"
Real or fake Dudu?
The auction manager walked over and sized up the three people in front of him.
Unlike other teams, they had a pitifully small number of people, and they were almost late for such an important occasion. I wonder if they were just messing around.
Despite his prejudice, the auctioneer remained composed and displayed excellent professionalism, exchanging a few polite words before leading the way.
Because they assumed that bidder number six wouldn't be showing up, their spots were taken by other bidders. So, after inquiring and obtaining Zhou Hongyu's consent, the auction organizer led the three of them to a corner in the back row.
Chairman Lin hadn't even sat down before he started complaining: "A corner in the back row? I don't think you're that interested in the auction!"
Yay!
You can say whatever you want about her, but you're not allowed to slander her loyalty to money!
Zhou Hongyu retorted, "You just wait and see!"
In the front row, Liu Yujie, representing bidder number one, and Zhou Jinyu, representing bidder number three, sat on opposite sides, their eyes flashing with tension, creating an atmosphere thick with tension.
The other bidders sitting in the back whispered among themselves, their expressions excited.
"Among the top bidders are relatives of the garment factory's leaders! And members of the Song family! The Song family's strength is undeniable; I think they've got this in the bag!"
"That's not necessarily true! Judging by their strength, bidder number three is no slouch! Their headquarters are in Japan! They're a Fortune 500 company! The authorities are currently very optimistic about their company's prospects!"
...
Chairman Lin listened intently, carefully filtering out the useful information.
Turning around, I saw Zhou Hongyu and Zhou Bing eating and drinking snacks given to them by the auction staff.
Chairman Lin: I'm furious!
"You two are here to do serious business!"
Zhou Bing, biting into a pastry, held up the plate and handed it over: "Brother Lin, you should try it, the pastries here are so delicious!"
Chairman Lin reluctantly took a bite, then nodded vigorously and reached out to take the last piece.
"It's so delicious! Why hold an auction? We should open a pastry shop instead!"
Zhou Hongyu raised her hand and called over a staff member. After asking, the staff member replied with a smile: "Today's pastries were made by Chef Chen from the clothing factory's kitchen. However, due to the clothing factory's bankruptcy and restructuring, Chef Chen is now mainly engaged in pastry making. Even if he had stayed, his salary would only be two-fifths of what it used to be. A few days ago, he chose to take early retirement. This is the last time Chef Chen will work for the clothing factory!"
Chairman Lin took out a fragrant handkerchief and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
With a wave of his hand, he said, "I have a suitable job here, with a monthly salary of five hundred yuan. Please tell Master Chen for me that if he thinks it's suitable, he can come and find me!"
I handed him a postcard.
Five hundred yuan?!
The staff members took the postcard with a mixture of disbelief and excitement, their pupils dilating in shock. They stared intently at Chairman Lin as if he were a precious treasure, surrounding him with concern and care.
Zhou Bing whispered in her ear, "Auntie, I've seen that postcard. It's incredibly shameless. Brother Lin wrote that he's a shareholder in several companies and earns an annual salary of 200,000!"
Zhou Hongyu pouted, "You know what, you really don't know, what's written on postcards isn't necessarily all fake!"
clatter--
The auctioneer on the platform struck the gavel.
The auction has officially begun.
