Because of Wang Qingyao's support, Lin Yuan was able to successfully walk to the auction seat at the next warehouse auction.
"Miss Wang, I didn't expect you to be here too?"
"I don't need to report to you about coming, right? It's perfectly reasonable, compliant, and legal..."
"Interesting, thank you Ms. Wang, and thank you for your appreciation."
The auction was hosted by a young and beautiful woman with a melodious voice. She could readily provide information about the land, demonstrating a high level of professionalism.
Lin Yuan didn't participate in the bidding for the first few plots of land; he just sat there quietly watching others bid.
Xu Lan's parents also took the opportunity to buy plot number five for 80 million yuan.
The auctioneer was a young and beautiful woman, dressed in a red gown, with long, flowing hair and an elegant demeanor.
Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like heavenly music. She could readily provide information about the land, demonstrating her high level of professionalism.
She stood in the center of the stage, smiling as she looked at the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction. Today, we are honored to present several plots of land with extremely high investment value. The first plot, located in a prime location in the city center, covers an area of 3,000 square meters, with a starting bid of 50 million!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted in chatter. People began discussing the value of the land.
Lin Yuan sat in the auction seat, looking calmly at the host, a slight, cold smile playing on his lips.
This auction is the real battlefield.
Lin Yuan didn't participate in the bidding for the first few plots of land; he just sat there quietly, watching others bid.
His eyes were cold and deep, waiting for a certain opportunity.
Xu Lan sat near Lin Yuan's private room, her eyes filled with guilt and unease.
She glanced at Lin Yuan's private room every now and then.
"Dad, Mom..."
The parents' uneasy gazes met their eyes, but their eyes grew even colder.
"Stop talking, it's no use saying this now. Your mother's face is already ugly enough, haven't you seen enough?"
Xu Lan bit her lip, her eyes filled with self-reproach: "I know, I was too weak, I didn't stay away from them..."
Mrs. Xu gently held her hand. "Lanlan, let bygones be bygones. You should know now that you can live a good life without them."
Xu Lan's tears flowed instantly, and her eyes became vacant.
Just then, the host announced the start of the auction for plot number five.
This plot of land is located in the new urban area. Although the location is slightly remote, it has great potential and the starting price is as high as 60 million.
Xu Lan's parents seized the opportunity to make their move, clearly determined to succeed.
"Sixty-five million!" Xu Lan's father made the first bid, his voice filled with confidence.
"Seventy million!" a real estate developer immediately chimed in, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the room.
Xu Lan's mother also joined in the bidding: "Seventy-five million!"
Ultimately, after a fierce bidding war, Xu Lan's parents bought plot number five for 80 million yuan.
"Congratulations, Xu's Real Estate, room number seven!"
They sat in their seats, a smug smile on their faces; this auction was their only victory.
However, Lin Yuan just looked coldly at Xu Lan in the private room, his eyes full of disdain.
He knew in his heart that this auction was a chance for Xu's parents to broaden their children's horizons, and that Xu Lan's life had only just begun after returning to China.
Next, for plot number eight, the starting bid was 20 million.
Inside the auction hall, the lights were dazzling, but the atmosphere was so cold it could freeze you to death.
The bidding for Plot No. 8 had just begun, and everyone in the audience looked troubled.
This piece of land is a hot potato; nobody wants to touch it.
"Plot No. 8, starting price 20 million." The host cleared his throat, his voice melodious and pleasant, but it sounded particularly awkward in the cold atmosphere.
The audience was completely silent; not a single bid was made.
The real estate developers whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with hesitation and helplessness.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a round, full-moon-like figure slowly stood up. His face was covered with layers of fat, making his features almost indistinguishable.
Only in that voice was there a barely perceptible glimmer of hope.
"Twenty-one million, just to have a good omen."
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience, mixed with a hint of mockery.
"Old Li, are you kidding us? That piece of land, building a factory? The environmental protection bureau will probably be watching you as soon as you lay down the first bricks!"
Upon hearing this, Old Li's face instantly turned as red as the sunset, his embarrassment evident.
He sat down dejectedly, still muttering resentfully, "Why not give it a try? What if I really get a great deal?"
Before the words had even finished, a clear, cool voice pierced through the noise from a corner of the venue: "Thirty million."
A young man in a black suit was sitting in the corner of VIP room number 5.
His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes revealing an undeniable coldness.
He is Lin Yuan, a rising star who has already made a name for himself in Shanghai's business world.
"Thirty million? Has this kid gone mad?"
Some people whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with incomprehension and mockery.
Lin Yuan seemed not to hear the whispers.
His gaze was cold as he swept across the entire room.
These short-sighted fellows have no idea of the value behind this piece of land.
"Thirty million, the first bid..."
The host's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible hesitation.
