"I'm so sleepy, when will the project we need come out?"
Having waited for about half an hour, Dongfang Shuo yawned widely, stretched, and asked the old steward.
"I glanced at the time and I think everyone is a bit tired. We have prepared some snacks and fruit for you. Please take a short rest. We will soon be starting our last two bidding projects."
The host also noticed what Dongfang Shuo said and frowned slightly.
He quickly regained his composure and spoke into the microphone to the exhausted crowd.
Afterwards, staff members brought out snacks and fruits and placed them on the tables next to each person. The tables at the front, belonging to Oriental Investment and Jiang's Group, were the most luxurious.
After all, they were the final two winners of the bids, and as long as they are still around, these bids will not go unsold.
The host knew perfectly well that apart from these two companies, no one else present could handle such a large piece of the pie.
"There's fruit, so it's not bad."
When Dongfang Shuo saw the staff bring out the fruit, he took a couple of bites and nodded in satisfaction.
"This host is really something! He served us and the people from Oriental Investment red wine; he's trying to get us drunk."
Liu Shang noticed that they were served a bottle of red wine at the end, and then he looked at the table next to Oriental Investment, which also had some.
Then, holding the red wine, he smiled and said to Lu Fan.
"Drink if you want, it's free anyway."
Hearing Lu Fan's words, Liu Shang knew exactly what he wanted to say. His eyes were fixed on the project that was about to be shown on the screen, and he knew that Liu Shang was just craving it.
"Hey, open it, let's each have a cup."
Liu Shang handed the red wine to Zhang He, who was sitting in the back, and said.
Zhang He, sitting in the back, kept his eyes fixed on the red wine, never looking away for a moment.
When he heard his boss say that everyone should have a glass, he happily took the red wine. After smelling the aroma, Zhang He, who often drinks, immediately recognized that this bottle of red wine was special.
"This wine is good."
Liu Shang was a rough and uncultured man who had never drunk red wine before.
After seeing Zhang He finish pouring, he downed the wine in one gulp, wiped the red wine from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, you are indeed a man of strong character."
This completely stunned Lu Fan. It was as if he had been drinking red wine like water. He couldn't help but twitch his lips a couple of times as he spoke.
"This stuff has no power at all; it's not as good as baijiu (Chinese liquor)."
Liu Shang smacked his lips, feeling utterly listless, put the wine glass back on the table, and said with a look of disgust.
This left the host on stage completely bewildered. It was the first time he had ever seen a guest drink like this, and seeing such a waste of resources, the host felt a pang of heartache.
But upon seeing the other person's identity, they dared not ask any questions and could only turn their heads away.
"Haha, this is hilarious."
Dongfang Shuo sat on the sofa, eating fruit.
Seeing Liu Shang make a fool of himself, he laughed so hard he could barely breathe.
"Young Master, are you quite impressed by this trip? You'd better get used to it as soon as possible. What are you thinking about, Young Master?"
The old butler kept his eyes closed, but when he heard Dongfang Shuo laughing, he glanced at the time on his watch.
Seeing that Dongfang Shuo did not answer him, the old steward continued to ask Dongfang Shuo.
After all, he was instructed by Dongfang Xingchen to bring Dongfang Shuo along this time so that he could train him more.
"The fruit here is quite good."
When Dongfang Shuo heard the old steward call him again, he snapped out of his reverie, turned around, and handed the fruit in his hand to the old steward.
"Young master, you should eat it yourself."
When the old steward heard Dongfang Shuo's irrelevant answer, and after glancing at the fruit in Dongfang Shuo's hand, he sighed, waved his hand, and said...
“I know what you mean. Now we’re just waiting for the last two projects to come out. The only ones left who still have the strength to compete with us are them.”
Seeing the old steward's disappointed look, Dongfang Shuo smiled. He knew exactly what the old steward wanted to say; he just wanted to tease him.
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper really thought he was hopeless and couldn't be helped.
Then he pointed in the direction of Liu Shang and Lu Fan and said.
"Young Master, you have a keen eye. The money I brought this time should be enough to win these two projects. Moreover, we have a billion in funds. When you bid against them later, I believe you will not let us down. You can also prove your ability in front of the Master. In the future, we can arrange a position for you in the company, so that others will have no chance to gossip."
Upon hearing Dongfang Shuo's words, the old steward's face was filled with a delighted smile. He never expected that the young master, who always traveled and enjoyed life, could see things so deeply. He no longer dared to underestimate the young master in front of him and then whispered to Dongfang Shuo.
"Okay, I'll take care of this. I also want to prove it."
After listening to the old steward's words, Dongfang Shuo nodded and said to him.
His gaze drifted towards Liu Shang and Lin, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Alright, everyone, you've all had enough rest time. It's getting late, and everyone needs to go back and celebrate after the bidding."
The host came out and caught a glimpse of Liu Shang out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that a bottle of red wine was almost empty, the smile on his lips trembled slightly.
This was the first time in over ten years of hosting that he had encountered a boss like Liu Shang bidding for a project. However, there were still projects that hadn't been auctioned yet. If these two projects didn't fetch good prices, the two bottles of red wine they had given away would be a huge loss.
"Ahem, if you want to talk, hurry up. If these last two projects don't come out soon, then we'll have to go home."
Seeing the host dawdling on and on, Dongfang Shuo stood up impatiently and said to the host.
Everyone present looked at Dongfang Shuo, while the old steward remained seated calmly in his chair.
Ten minutes ago, he would have stood up to stop him, but now he had no need to stop him at all, because the old steward trusted Dongfang Shuo and knew he must have his reasons for doing these things.
"Since the representatives from Oriental Investment are getting a little impatient, let's get started right away."
After Dongfang Shuo said that, everyone fell silent, and he was instantly embarrassed.
In situations like these, the host's adaptability is put to the test. The host continued to explain the items on the screen to the audience with a smile.
The bidding began, and Dongfang Shuo sat down in his chair with satisfaction.
He held the bidding paddle in his hand, his eyes fixed on the stage.
As the host introduced the man, his eyes kept glancing at Dongfang Shuo. Seeing that this young man dared to embarrass him in front of everyone, he secretly prepared to get revenge on him when the opportunity arose.
"One hundred million!"
Before the host could finish speaking, a sudden voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and as everyone expected, it was Dongfang Shuo, who had interrupted the host earlier.
