Chapter 93 You did it on purpose today
You did it on purpose today
When the news of Changjun Bio's bidding meeting spread, many investment companies came to them.
Gao Peng thought that since he was going to do it, he might as well do a big one, which would be a good opportunity to improve Chang Jun's status in the industry. Therefore, almost all the investment companies that could rank in Haicheng got admission tickets.
The bidding started at nine o'clock, and Wen Ruan arrived at eight thirty.
At this time, it was crowded, with many guests coming and going at the door.
Everyone present today was from the same circle, and they all knew about the feud between Wen Ruan, Jiang Qingyan, and Yao Man. When they saw the three of them bumping into each other, many people deliberately slowed down their pace to watch the fun.
Jiang Qingyan accompanied Yao Man here, which was within Wen Ruan's expectations.
She chatted with Lin Yue last night, and Lin Yue said that Jiang Qingyan had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, and the department meeting originally scheduled for this morning was also postponed. Then he must come here to escort his white moonlight.
Yao Man and Jiang Qingyan arrived first and were about to enter the door. Yao Man saw Wen Ruan getting out of the car behind, so she stopped and waited there with her arm around Jiang Qingyan.
They were standing at the entrance, and if you wanted to go in, you had to pass by them.
Wen Ruan's face was calm. She walked towards the two of them leisurely in her high heels and with a graceful waist.
The one who was not calm was Ni Fei.
He tugged at Ruan Hao's sleeve. The two of them were one step behind Wen Ruan. He moved closer to Ruan Hao and said in a low voice:
"The man in the white shirt is Jiang Qingyan, my sister's ex-boyfriend. No, he didn't even acknowledge my sister. Anyway, he's a scumbag."
Ruan Hao followed his words and looked over.
No wonder Wen Ruan didn't notice that he had been cheated on for three years. This man really has a good appearance. He wears a simple white shirt and black trousers. He has a tall and slender figure, straight legs, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyebrows and eyes are like green mountains.
If we only talk about appearance, Ruan Hao actually feels that Jiang Qingyan's gentle and gentlemanly appearance is more suitable for Wen Ruan, because he doesn't like the arrogance of He Zheng, who looks difficult to deal with and Wen Ruan can't handle him.
But putting aside his appearance, he still liked He Zheng more. After all, He Zheng helped Wen Ruan at Rong Li's celebration banquet, took her away, and helped her retain her last dignity. He was a good person.
"Did you see the woman next to him?"
Ni Fei gestured for him to look at Yao Man again.
"That's Yao Man, the eldest daughter of Rongli Group and Jiang Qingyan's white moonlight. This woman is so annoying. She always bullies my sister. I don't know what Jiang Qingyan likes about her. She's not as pretty as my sister, not as young as my sister, and she doesn't have a good figure as my sister..."
Ni Fei was scolding angrily, but Ruan Hao's gaze only stayed on Yao Man for a few seconds before leaving.
He had seen many women with faces like Yao Man. Those young ladies who had been spoiled by their families since childhood all had the same sour and mean look as her, which made him feel uncomfortable.
…
Wen Ruan went up two steps and greeted him proactively without deliberately avoiding him.
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Yao, good morning."
Jiang Qingyan's gaze fell on her.
She was wearing a British-style black sleeveless suit today, with a belt that outlined her slim waist, a neatly ponytail, pearl earrings, and a black watch on her slender white wrist.
She exudes competence and a sense of unattainable indifference, and her bright makeup is very aggressive.
Jiang Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, and his expression behind his glasses was hard to discern. He had known Wen Ruan for many years and knew that she was fully charged at the moment and came prepared.
He spoke indifferently, "Good morning, Director Wen."
Yao Man's attention was also on Wen Ruan's outfit today, but she was more worried about whether she could beat Wen Ruan today.
She deliberately got up an hour earlier and called the best styling team. The clothes were all the latest high-end designs from big brands. She was also wearing professional attire. Jiang Qingyan wore a white shirt, and she wore a white suit.
Her outfit was much more expensive than Wen Ruan's, but because Wen Ruan was taller than her, he seemed more imposing.
Yao Man was unhappy, but there were many people around her, so she couldn't lose her temper. So she moved closer to Jiang Qingyan, put her arm around his affectionately, and looked at Wen Ruan provocatively.
"Wen Ruan, you actually dared to snatch Chang Jun away. You really overestimate your own abilities."
After knowing that Wen Ruan would be responsible for Chang Jun, she asked Jiang Qingyan for this project.
After reading all the information and fully understanding it, she was very surprised. Chang Jun was already in the last round of financing. She only needed to conduct research and did not need to do anything else. She just had to wait for the bidding meeting to spend money to win the bid.
It's so easy, all you need is money.
Her biggest asset since she was a child is spending money. She has participated in no less than a hundred auctions. Today's bidding is completely in line with her professional skills and she is determined to win.
When the final decision is made and she captures Chang Jun, she will severely humiliate Wen Ruan and avenge her last time with Ai Yue.
She will take it down in the shortest time possible and humiliate Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan didn't care about Yao Man's sarcasm. She looked at the man and woman leaning on each other with a pair of calm eyes and smiled gently:
"Whether you're overestimating your abilities or not, Miss Yao, don't worry about that for me. I do want to remind you, Miss Yao, that you've already lost once. If you lose again today, it'll be the second time. You're embarrassed, and Rong Li is embarrassed with you."
She would scratch and cause pain.
Wen Ruan challenged his former boss and defeated Ai Yue in two days. The news spread in the circle. Rong Li was embarrassed, and Yao Man was even more embarrassed. Although no one dared to talk about it in person, there were many people who made fun of him behind his back.
In the past half month, Yao Man attended an aristocratic dinner and a wealthy family's birthday party, and heard with her own ears those people comparing her with Wen Ruan.
There wasn't a single word she liked to hear, as if, apart from being the eldest daughter of the Yao family and being better at reincarnation than Wen Ruan, she was no match for Wen Ruan.
"Wen Ruan," Yao Man said with an unpleasant expression, "Don't be so complacent!"
She will definitely win today!
Jiang Qingyan remained silent. Yao Man was dissatisfied and shook his arm. Jiang Qingyan then said to Wen Ruan, "Director Wen is being too harsh."
Wen Ruan was about to speak when Ruan Hao grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him. Ni Fei also stepped forward and moved sideways to block Wen Ruan.
Ruan Hao faced Jiang Qingyan with an arrogant and domineering look on his face, "A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way."
Jiang Qingyan looked at him, his deep eyes narrowed, and his brows slightly furrowed. Yao Man, whose temper was not as good as his, got angry first, "Who are you calling a dog! Who are you!"
Ni Fei had not dared to confront Yao Man in person before, but now, taking advantage of Ruan Hao's momentum, he snorted, "Whoever stands in the way is a dog, and whoever answers is a dog."
Yao Man was furious. She looked at Ruan Hao and then at Ni Fei. Seeing the two of them protecting Wen Ruan behind them, she sneered and mocked Wen Ruan.
"Wen Ruan, you're really amazing. You hook up with men everywhere, and there are men escorting you wherever you go. You—"
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Hao raised his leg and kicked Jiang Qingyan's calf with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak.
"Now that your woman is being sarcastic, you don't care? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by bringing such a crazy woman out?"
Jiang Qingyan's calf felt numb, and before he could say anything, Yao Man couldn't stand it anymore.
"You dare to kick him! You're looking for death!"
Gao Peng heard about the commotion at the door and was afraid that their personal grudge would ruin today's bidding, so he hurried out to smooth things over.
"Hey, harmony brings wealth, everyone, harmony brings wealth!"
Yao Man was about to hit Ruan Hao on the head with the bag in her hand. Gao Peng rushed over with a few people from Chang Jun, and immediately separated Wen Ruan and Jiang Qingyan and the others. They coaxed and persuaded them to take them to the conference room.
Jiang Qingyan held Yao Man's waist and followed Gao Peng. While talking to Gao Peng, he whispered to comfort Yao Man in his arms.
Wen Ruan followed one of Chang Jun's vice presidents. She had a faint smile on her face and was not affected by what had just happened. She chatted with the vice president as they walked and they had a very pleasant conversation.
Ruan Hao and Ni Fei followed Wen Ruan closely, like two young bodyguards.
Jiang Qingyan occasionally glanced sideways and glanced at Wen Ruan across the crowd.
…
The auction will start at 9 o'clock sharp.
The person in charge of the financial company entrusted by Chang Jun came on stage to reiterate the rules. Since this time only no more than 7% of the total share capital would be sold to new investors, everyone was eager to try.
Especially early investors like Rongli, who already have shares in Changjun, will become the major shareholder of Changjun if they take away the shares in this round.
If Rongli, which has been the leading investor, succeeds this time, the founder Gao Peng's shares will be diluted to less than 50%. This is one of the reasons why Gao Peng advocated the bidding model in the first place. In his heart, he actually hopes that Minghe can snatch Rongli away.
The host was a professional invited from the auction. After a few opening remarks, he shouted "start" without any further ado.
Wen Ruan raised the bidding card in his hand as soon as he finished speaking.
"Six hundred and twenty million."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone: “!!!”
puff--
The representatives who were about to raise their signs to bid the lowest price almost vomited blood. Everyone looked at Wen Ruan with their eyes popping out.
Ni Fei sat on Wen Ruan's left, feeling uneasy. This feeling came back again! Just like when Wen Ruan directly asked for the controlling stake in Aiyue, he was afraid of being beaten then, and now he was afraid of being beaten by a group of people.
Oh my god!
Boss, what are you doing?
Changjun Bio's latest valuation has exceeded 10 billion. According to Changjun's valuation, their proposed investment of 620 million is the upper limit. Why did the boss directly report the upper limit as soon as he opened his mouth!
That’s not how you play it!
Ruan Hao was calm. He realized that Wen Ruan was here to raise the price.
In the conference hall, representatives from various companies had different expressions on their faces. Companies with weaker capabilities were fine as Rongli was there today and they couldn't have competed anyway. They just thought that the important thing was to participate, and after comforting themselves, they waited to watch the fun.
All the capable companies had stern faces. The number Wen Ruan reported was the maximum limit given by the company based on Chang Jun's valuation. It was capped. They had been pushed to their limit in the first round. How else could they play?
The host was also surprised. He was about to speak with the microphone when Yao Man raised her sign.
"Six hundred and thirty million!"
Wen Ruan raised the sign again.
The rule of this game is that the bid must increase by at least 10 million in each round. The two of them raised the price back and forth several times, and neither of them showed any intention of stopping.
Until, when Wen Ruan called out 700 million, Yao Man raised her bidding card as high as possible, "800 million!"
The crowd who had already given up holding up their signs and were just watching the fun: "..."
Rongli is indeed wealthy, but that is normal. With Rongli's current shares in Changjun, if they acquire another 7% of the shares, they will basically have controlling rights.
Therefore, it is certain that Rongli will win, but the price is too high.
As expected, whenever Minghe and Rongli confront each other, it is absolutely exciting.
Wen Ruan glanced at Jiang Qingyan with cold eyes and saw that his hand was already on Yao Man's shoulder. He leaned over to whisper something in her ear. Yao Man looked displeased and curled her lips, but said nothing.
He looked away and Wen Ruan didn't continue to follow.
Time passed minute by minute. The host called out twice, and each time he called out, he subconsciously looked at Wen Ruan. Seeing that she still didn't move, he knocked the auction hammer hard in his hand.
Rongli Capital won the investment rights from Chang Jun.
Yao Man won.
…
Before leaving, Wen Ruan went to the bathroom.
It was quite unlucky. When I came out, I met Jiang Qingyan at the corner. He seemed to be waiting there deliberately, standing with his back against the wall. When he saw Wen Ruan coming out, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the stairwell next to him.
Wen Ruan didn't expect him to be so bold. When he came to his senses, Jiang Qingyan had already closed the door.
She shook off his hand, her face displeased. "Mr. Jiang, it's disgusting that you always pester your ex-girlfriend." She paused and smiled, "No, it's your ex-lover."
Jiang Qingyan stared at her with deep eyes, his expression ambiguous.
"Chang Jun will explode in the later stage. Wen Ruan, you knew it a long time ago, right? You did it on purpose today."
Wen Ruan was about to leave, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed and he stopped in his tracks. After making sure that he had heard correctly, he looked up at him in disbelief.
He...he actually knew?
Since you knew it, why didn't you stop Yao Man?
Jiang Qingyan saw her surprise and confusion. His eyes were dark, like an abyss with no bottom to see. He did not explain why he knew, nor why he did not stop Yao Man. He just said:
"Wen Ruan, leave Haicheng now. You've fooled Yao Man and Yao Tianyu now. When they realize what's going on, they'll retaliate against you like crazy."
