Chapter 134 He has a lot of money, so he doesn't need to make concessions
Auston and Jess, who were walking towards this side not far away, saw Xi Xingwen's secretary talking to Zhou Xiao, narrowed their eyes and looked at each other.
"Do they know Mr. Xi?"
"They must know each other. Mr. Xi's secretary gave them the card. Could it be that he wanted them to take pictures of the oil fields? Is this a smokescreen for us?" Jace thought he made a clever guess.
After all, if they hadn't happened to see it, who could have guessed that Xi Xingwen would actually know a few mainlanders who had just come from the mainland.
Auston seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said, "After we go in, we'll see which piece of land they want to bid for, and we must keep an eye on it."
After they finished talking, they straightened their clothes and walked towards Jiang Yu and the others.
"Miss Jiang, we meet again. Shall we go in together?"
Jiang Yu looked at the two of them, as if the conflict on the boat had never happened. Then she saw their eyes vaguely scanning the card in Zhou Xiao's hand, and raised her eyebrows. There was nothing she didn't understand.
Jiang Yu didn't say anything. Zhou Xiao stood in front of his fiancée and protected her as they walked into the auction hall.
Auston was embarrassed and looked unhappy, but he still went forward to talk to them, asking Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao indirectly whether they knew Xi Xingwen and which plots of land they wanted to bid for.
Seeing that they were so concerned about this matter, as if they must know some inside story, Jiang Yu looked at their faces.
No, these two people are overthinking. They don’t think that they were arranged by Mr. Xi Xingwen to shoot the oil field, right?
Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat. She tried a few words and was speechless for a moment when she saw that they really believed her.
But they really know which area is the oil field, so why not throw a smoke bomb for the foreigners?
Jiang Yu thought so and moved her fingers in Zhou Xiao's palm. Zhou Xiao looked into his fiancée's cunning and clear eyes and understood her thoughts in seconds.
The two of them cooperated and said nothing, but when the auction began, it was time to auction a piece of land.
The ease he had before was gone, and his face became visibly tense. He kept raising his placard and bidding as if he was afraid that his property would be snatched away by someone else.
Upon seeing this, Austin and Jace immediately followed suit and bid even more aggressively than them.
Most of the other foreigners at the auction were people Jiang Yu and his companions had met on the ship. They had stirred up trouble on the ship. When they saw Jiang Yu and Austin, they were both staring at the land. Later, Xi Xingwen's secretary also got involved.
Thinking that they knew some inside information that this piece of land was an oil field, they quickly raised their hands and joined the bidding.
After several rounds of bidding, Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao's expressions became more and more solemn. Finally, when the price increased several times, they showed their difficulty in obtaining sufficient funds and let the land fall into the hands of Austin and Jace.
Later, when the oil field was being auctioned, Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao raised their placards twice, as if they had not won the bid for the oil field and just called out a random price so as not to give the auction organizer a bye.
No one competed with them for this piece of land, so they successfully took over the oil field.
The auction was over. Ignoring the smug look from Jace, Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao went to swipe their cards and officially took over the oil field.
Of course, the card used was Jiang Yu's. Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao had discussed the oil field and were planning to sell it to the country, so they naturally would not use Xi Xingwen's card.
However, the successful acquisition of the oil field was due to the old man's contribution, and Jiang Yu was thinking about giving the old man some profits.
"He has a lot of money, no need to give way." Zhou Xiao said after getting in the car.
Just as Zhou Xiao finished speaking, Xi Xingwen's secretary came over.
The secretary lit a candle for the old man.
In other people's families, the women are extroverted, but in this old man's family, the son is extroverted.
However, the old man has been looking for Zhou Xiao for so long and finally found him, so it is not excessive for him to spoil the child as much as he can.
When they met that day, he gave up the oil field that he had been eyeing for a long time, and he was afraid that things would be even worse in the future.
The secretary thought so and respectfully relayed the old man's words.
"Mr. Xi wants to invite Mr. Zhou and Miss Jiang to visit his home. The old lady's health has been getting worse in recent years, and Mr. Xi wants Mr. Zhou to meet her."
"There is also oil field development. President Xi is worried that you are being watched. If you go as a guest, he will help you develop the oil field."
These words took both emotions and interests into consideration, and he is worthy of being a businessman who had the courage to sneak here and make a comeback.
After speaking, the secretary looked at Chen Zhi and Zhou Tinghuai beside him and said with a smile.
"You two can also go over as guests."
Chen Zhi had no interest in visiting the old fox's house, but with the identity of the shipping king, she was afraid that Jiang Yu would be bullied if she went there.
Jiang Yu held her hand and reassured her.
The next second, Zhou Xiao refused to be the guest. He would not put his fiancée in any risky place.
After helping Jiang Yu get into the car, Zhou Xiao asked his secretary for the Xi family's address.
The secretary thought he would not be able to complete the mission when he returned, so when he heard this, he immediately reported the address of the villa halfway up the mountain.
Zhou Xiao's expression paused when he heard the address, and Jiang Yu also blinked.
The villa next to them turned out to be the Xi family’s property? Could the old lady who was almost bitten by the vicious dog be Zhou Xiao’s mother Zhou Ying?
Jiang Yu carefully recalled the old lady's face, then looked into Zhou Xiao's eyes.
These eyes seem a bit similar.
Zhou Xiao also thought of the old lady and his expression became serious.
When they arrived at the villa halfway up the mountain, Zhou Xiao looked gloomy, and Jiang Yu understood his complicated feelings at the moment.
He must be resentful of his parents who abandoned him when he was young, but his biological mother is not in good health and he is worried about her, so he doesn't know whether he should go to see them.
Jiang Yu held Zhou Xiao's hand and asked the servants to prepare gifts for visiting the elders' home.
"Since you are worried, go and visit."
Zhou Xiao held his fiancée's hand, followed his heart, and nodded softly.
As soon as Xi Xingwen came back to the Xi family villa, he wanted to tell his wife in person the good news that his son had been found.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Haonan and a girl playing around in the living room of the villa, and his smile faded a little.
He glanced at the secretary, who immediately stepped forward, turned off the TV, and asked the nanny to clean up the fruit shells on the floor.
"Li Haonan! This is the Xi family, not your Li family. Don't bring women here casually and disturb your aunt's rest." Xi Xingwen shouted angrily.
Li Haonan, who had just noticed the old man's return, slowly pushed A Lian away and spoke in a complaining tone.
"If my uncle hadn't beaten me, I wouldn't have gone out, and if my uncle hadn't sent my dog away, I wouldn't have had any entertainment, so why would I have brought A-Lian here?"
When Xi Xingwen saw Li Haonan like this, he seemed to be certain that he would not punish him severely.
Xi Xingwen thought that his family had been inland for so long but had not found Zhou Xiao, so he came to Gangcheng himself.
He is old, not really confused. Xi Xingwen couldn't help but figure out who is fooling him.
Xi Xingwen regretted trusting the Li family too much, and regretted even more that he cared too much about his only relative, which led to the Li family's greed and made the Li family want to make it impossible for him and his wife to find their son forever.
