"I've met Chen Luoxia; she's an incredibly capable woman. Her sister is said to be the planning director at the Fang Group, and she's still a spinster."
Seeing Lu Siqiao's curious expression, Cai Ming explained, "I heard that Chen Luoxia used to be a female educated youth. Later, she married Fang Zhe, the son of a high-ranking official, and the two went into business and founded the Fang Group. Two years ago, Fang Zhe died of lung cancer. The Fang family bullied them, a widow and her son. Chen Luoxia disregarded the opposition and became the president of the Fang Group. She was lucky enough to give birth to a son, and the old lady of the Fang family protected her. Otherwise, she would have been eaten alive by those old fogies long ago."
"Chen Luoxia and Cheng Ze's father have known each other since childhood, but their families disapproved, which is why they separated." He also gossiped, "Cheng Duoguo is no longer the same person he used to be; their marriage was more of an arranged marriage."
Lu Siqiao lowered her head, feeling angry.
Therefore, Chen Luoxia refused to acknowledge her as her biological daughter in order to protect the Fang family's assets, but her eldest daughter needed her help, haha...
If Chen Luoxia had been completely honest with her, perhaps Lu Siqiao would have forgiven her out of momentary weakness.
But she didn't. She chose to collude with Huang Ling'er and even tried to trick her into going to the capital.
Lu Siqiao pursed her lips and hung her head helplessly.
Cai Ming thought she was worried about Cheng Ze, so he comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, with Elder He protecting him, Chen Luoxia can't hurt him. He moved out a long time ago."
hehe.
Lu Siqiao was unable to refute.
When they went backstage to complete the formalities, after deducting the auction fee of 500,000, Lu Siqiao received 4.5 million.
Clutching the bank card tightly in her hand, Lu Siqiao felt a sense of unreality, as if she were dreaming.
Upon learning that the ginseng had been auctioned off from Cai Ming, Chen Luoshi was furious and her face turned red. She accused him of cheating.
Cai Ming wasn't going to tolerate her. He said calmly, "This ginseng isn't mine either. My friend asked me to help her auction it. Strictly speaking, I'm also qualified to bid."
Because of his shouts, Chen Luoshi lost a million dollars for nothing!
Cai Ming is a local bigwig in City A. Chen Luoshi is wary of him, but she vents her hatred on Lu Siqiao.
"Qiaowa, some men just like to deceive young girls. Don't be unable to distinguish right from wrong and end up like your older sister." She glanced at Lu Siqiao and admonished her.
Lu Siqiao ignored her, took Cai Ming's fat hand, and sweetly said, "Godfather, let's go."
Watching the two of them disappear in front of her, Chen Luoshi angrily cursed, "They really have no manners!"
She called Chen Luoxia and told her that the ginseng was most likely He Zhangzhi's collectible, and that Cai Ming had deliberately set a trap for her, causing her to lose one million yuan.
Chen Luoxia listened indifferently and said, "Old man He's things are naturally good. In the end, his money still goes to Cheng Ze. That child is only thirteen years old, but his assets have reached tens of millions. It's a pity that my Dingding is not in good health, otherwise, I could consider bringing the two of them together."
Remembering Cheng Ze's cold attitude towards Dingding, Lu Luoshi shook her head: "Let Dingding rest and recover first."
Chen Luoxia brought up another matter, asking Chen Luoshi to auction off a piece of land in Shashi Market, about fifty acres in size.
Chen Luoshi said with difficulty, "The investment bidding for the Chenghuan Commercial Building alone cost 60 million, and now we've spent another 5 million to buy ginseng. I'm afraid we don't have enough money."
“Dingding said that area will become a landmark building in City A. You know Dingding has that ability, and she’s never wrong,” Chen Luoxia said calmly. “You take the picture first, and I’ll handle the board meeting later.”
"About the money—" Chen Luoshi knew that the Fang Group was short of funds and had long been unable to continue operating.
Chen Luoxia calmly said, "I'll talk to Duo Guo later and have him put in a good word with Cheng Ze."
"Will he agree?" Chen Luoshi asked uncertainly. "What if he doesn't?"
“I approached him for investment in the name of the Fang Group, and we signed a contract. Would he renege on the deal? With such a huge benefit, how could he refuse?” Chen Luoxia sneered. “Once my Dingding recovers, the two families will become one, and things won’t be so complicated anymore.”
“If that doesn’t work, I’ll have his father borrow it from him,” she added. “I’ll ask him later.”
A few more days passed.
When Chen Luoshi arrived at the auction site in Shashi Market, she was surprised to see Cai Ming and Lu Siqiao again.
"Cai Ming, do you also want to bid for land in Shashi Market?" she challenged him without any politeness.
She didn't think Cai Ming had that ability.
The moment Cai Ming saw her, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
This land has been abandoned for a long time, in the middle of nowhere, and very few people genuinely want to take pictures. Most people just come here to see if they can find a bargain.
Cai Ming, brimming with wealth, said, "Thanks to the Chen family, I have a few million more in my account. I came here specifically to see if I could snag a bargain."
Chen Luoshi thought it was a pipe dream to think that someone could buy fifty acres of land for just a few hundred dollars.
Suddenly, she felt that the more than ten million in her account was more than enough.
But not long after the auction began, as the auctioneer announced a price of ten million, Cai Ming took the lead and threw out thirteen million, even turning around to look at Chen Luoshi provocatively.
Chen Luoshi almost coughed up blood. What kind of bidding was this!
"Thirteen million five hundred thousand!" she gritted her teeth and followed.
Because the starting price was high, the two of them were the only ones left on site, and they kept bidding up the price.
Lu Siqiao watched coldly, her brows furrowed.
That shouldn't be the case. Why would Chen Luoxia be interested in this land for no reason? And why would she spend over ten million yuan to bid for it?
Could it be that there are other reborn people around her?
Who could it be?
In the instant she was thinking, Cai Ming and Chen Luoshi's bid had already soared to eighteen million.
Chen Luoshi has already exhausted her resources; this price is her limit.
She didn't understand why Cai Ming insisted on pursuing her relentlessly.
"Eighteen million five hundred thousand." Cai Ming lazily held up the sign, not forgetting to lecture Lu Siqiao, "If the price soars to twenty million, then Godfather will give up on it and consider it a bargain for the Chen family!"
Chen Luoshi hadn't expected him to be maliciously inflating the price. In a fit of anger, she accused him, "Cai Ming, if you can come up with the money, Fang's Group will withdraw unconditionally."
What gives this country bumpkin the audacity to try and outbid her?
Cai Ming and Lu Siqiao slowly stood up. After receiving an affirming look from Lu Siqiao, he shouted to the auctioneer, "Hurry up and sell! Twenty million! This Ms. Chen said she won't compete with me anymore, it's a one-off deal!"
Upon seeing this, the auctioneer was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to get such a high price. He hurriedly said, "Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times, sold!"
There was a loud clang.
Chen Luoshi was completely devastated.
She questioned Cai Ming, "Where did you get the money?" Suddenly, her eyes widened, "So that's why Cheng Ze mentioned the 20 million; he used it to buy land!"
Cai Ming was secretly pleased with himself.
His gaze toward Lu Siqiao grew increasingly satisfied.
The land that even the Chen and Cheng families of the capital are vying for must have some unknown benefits!
