Chapter 111: You know how to use him as a shield!
After returning to the venue, Li Xiaoyao stood up and moved to the side.
Gu Xiangsi had no choice but to sit next to Fu Sinian.
Li Xiaoyao asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
"Assistant Li, you're amazing! They just tried to scam me into showing off their documents to see what I had."
"You're so easy to fool." The man next to him suddenly interrupted.
Gu Xiangsi turned her head and met the mischievous look in Fu Sinian's eyes. She said unconvincedly, "Mr. Fu, I'm not that stupid."
"Then grow your brain and eat more walnuts in the future."
Gu Xiangsi didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned to look at the bidding session on the stage.
The first is Tuen Mun Town Lot No. 569, which has mature surrounding supporting facilities. This land was originally government land, but was revised by the Town Planning Board to Residential (Class A) Zone 29. It is planned to build a 26-storey residential building, which is expected to be completed in 2030-2031.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Li Xiaoyao, after Fu Sinian nodded, raised his hand and said, "Five hundred million."
There was a commotion in the back row, and someone whispered, "Oh my God, is the Si Nian Group really determined to take over this piece of land in Tuen Mun?"
Then, bidding sounds rang out one after another: "Six hundred million!"
"Seven hundred million!"
"Eight hundred million!"
Li Xiaoyao raised his paddle again, and the auctioneer said, "One billion is the first time, is there a higher price?"
Zhao Niesen in the back row glanced in Gu Dong's direction. Seeing him nod, he immediately raised his sign: "1.2 billion!"
"1.5 billion." Li Xiaoyao followed without hesitation.
Zhao Niesen smiled and raised his sign, saying, "Two billion."
The venue was silent for a moment. Only Fu Sinian still kept his head down, stroking the gilded lighter with his fingertips, as if the bidding around him had nothing to do with him.
Gu Xiangsi was close by and happened to catch a glimpse of the barely perceptible curl of the corners of his lips. If it weren't for this glance, she would almost think that he really didn't care.
The three plots of land eventually had different owners. Zhao Niesen won the first plot for 2 billion, Gu Dong won 1.5 billion, and Chen Hui won the other two plots for 2.2 billion. The Si Nian Group got nothing, and there were constant sighs in the audience.
When Fu Sinian stood up, the three had already walked to the front row.
Zhao Niesen spoke first, his tone calm but sharp. "Mr. Fu, thank you for your kindness today. Otherwise, with Mr. Fu's ability, even if the three of us joined forces, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to take these pieces of prime land."
These words sound polite, but they are actually a bit provocative.
He pointed out Fu Sinian's concession today, but also secretly praised his side's ability to join forces, with a hint of pride in his sure victory.
Fu Sinian had just put the gilded lighter back into his pocket. When he looked up, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a faint smile played at the corners of his lips: "Mr. Zhao, you're joking. Business is about ability."
His tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, as if the ownership of the three plots of land was unimportant. This made the few boasts that Zhao Niesen had prepared get stuck in his throat.
Gu Dong raised his eyebrows at this time, and glanced at Gu Xiangsi who was standing next to Fu Sinian, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Mr. Fu, why don't you choose an assistant who is at least professional? Look at our Xianglian, she studied a serious related major. How could Gu Xiangsi have such ability? You really should think about it carefully."
Fu Sinian rarely raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Xianglian. The intimidation in his eyes spread instantly, and the powerful aura made the air around him seem to stagnate a little.
Gu Xianglian felt a little frightened for some reason, but she still managed to raise her head and continued with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Fu, you see, this is what I majored in at university."
"Oh, that's right." Fu Sinian replied calmly, but suddenly changed the subject, "But the people around me are never just for show. Besides..."
His eyes fell on Gu Xianglian's face, and his tone was calm but with undisguised disdain, "If you look like this and stand in front of me, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."
"Puchi..." Li Xiaoyao next to him couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Gu Xianglian was angry and embarrassed, and her face turned red.
Gu Dong also felt humiliated, his face darkened, and he turned to Gu Xiangsi: "Gu Xiangsi, what kind of magic potion did you give Mr. Fu? Xianglian is definitely more professional than you!"
Gu Xiangsi found it funny, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Boss Gu, you can ask Boss Fu why I can be his assistant. As for why you want me to give the position to Gu Xianglian..."
She shook her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't resign until President Fu asks me to."
Gu Xiangsi threw the question to Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, only a light snort escaped from his nose.
I know how to use him as a shield.
"Major? Miss Gu's transcript, which makes one suspect the Academic Affairs Office fell asleep, has the nerve to mention the word 'major'?"
The corners of his lips curved up in a sarcastic arc. "Every subject passed the exam with flying colors, and the internship evaluation was even uglier than a eulogy. Mr. Gu, aren't your family's professional requirements a bit too unique?"
The blood color on Gu Xianglian's face disappeared completely in an instant.
The last time he heard Gu Xiangsi say her words.
Fu Sinian seemed unaware, his eyes passing over her lightly, as if he was evaluating some unattractive decoration.
"My criteria for selecting people are very simple." His tone was lazy, but every word was sharp. "Either they have real skills and can help me solve problems; or at least they are pleasing to the eye and not an eyesore."
He paused, and finally looked directly at Gu Xianglian, frowning slightly, revealing a purely aesthetic concern.
"But what about you? You have no talent, and your looks... Tsk, you look so abstract. You stand in front of me every day. Do you think my work doesn't strain your eyes enough?"
"Cough!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly turned his head and covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking violently.
Gu Xianglian's eyes instantly turned red, and her voice trembled: "Mr. Fu! You... your words are too hurtful!"
Gu Dong's face turned pale, and he was about to attack Gu Xiangsi, but Fu Sinian coldly interrupted him.
"I'm just telling the truth." He turned his head and his eyes fell on Gu Xiangsi who had been standing quietly beside him. His tone was still arrogant, but there was a hint of other meaning hidden in it.
"My assistant relies on this," he casually tapped his solar plexus with his fingertips, "it's not some crooked trick, after all..."
He drew out his tone and his gaze returned to the Gu family father and daughter, filled with undisguised disgust.
"IQ and beauty, your Miss Gu family must have at least one of them, right?"
“What a pity…”
Finally, he seemed to suddenly remember something and added slowly to Gu Dong.
"If Mr. Gu really cares about your daughter's future, I know a very good ophthalmologist. The way she looked at me just now was not only stupid, but also seemed a bit astigmatic."
Gu Xiangsi suddenly felt that Fu Sinian's sharp tongue was not so annoying.
She raised her eyes quietly and looked at Fu Sinian's cold and hard profile.
He still looked so arrogant and conceited, but beneath this layer of ice, she seemed to catch a glimpse of... protection?
The thought made her heart skip a beat.
It turns out that when his venomous tongue is directed at the enemy, it can actually make people... feel a little secretly happy?
And those who were standing behind Gu Dong, including Zhao Niesen, who were eager to take the opportunity to say a few words, now all shut their mouths silently.
The gloating on their faces froze before it could fully unfold.
Fu Sinian's venomous attack not only tore apart Gu Xianglian's disguise, but also ruthlessly humiliated Gu Dong.
Even after walking out of the bidding venue, Gu Xiangsi still had his head down, his mind in a mess and he hadn't come back to his senses.
The person in front of her suddenly stopped, and she didn't notice it, and bumped into the other person's hard back with a "bang".
A man's low, magnetic voice with a hint of laughter came from above my head.
"Gu Xiangsi, what's wrong? Are you moved by my words?"
