In the past, Xu Youning was like a quietly blooming white jasmine, so beautiful that she was restrained and unobtrusive. Others paid more attention to her on her heroic spirit that was rare for girls.
At this moment, Xu Youning looks like a red rose blooming in the center of the flowerbed, with exquisite makeup and dominating the limelight. She has already stunned everyone as soon as she appears.
Xiao Yunyun couldn't help but sigh that Mu Sijue fell in love with Xu Youning, which only showed that Mu Sijue was really discerning.
Her eyes were following Xu Youning's back, but the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong, as if something was about to burst out of her memory.
Seeing this, Shen Yuechuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xiao Yunyun: "Xu Youning, what is there to see? Come back to your senses!"
At this moment, a silhouette of a back popped into Xiao Yunyun's mind. She pushed Shen Yuechuan's hand away and said blankly: "It's really her."
"Now do you dare to believe that it's really Xu Youning?" Shen Yuechuan dropped a bombshell with a cold disdain on his face, "She came to bid with us on behalf of Kang Ruicheng. If you know the truth, will your jaw drop? Already?"
Xiao Yunyun said anxiously: "I mean what I saw in the hospital was really Xu Youning!" She tried hard to recall the back figure she saw yesterday morning, which completely overlapped with the figure of Xu Youning walking further and further away in front of her.
In other words, Xu Youning really went to the hospital yesterday.
Shen Yuechuan didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yunyun's words, and said "Oh" lifelessly. Just as he was about to sit up straight, he suddenly reacted and stared at Xiao Yunyun: "Did you see Xu Youning in the hospital? Why did she go to the hospital? ?”
"I don't know." Xiao Yunyun shook her head, "I saw her on the first floor of the outpatient clinic. I'm not sure whether she went to accompany the doctor or to see a doctor."
Shen Yuechuan held his chin and stared at Xu Youning's back, lost in thought.
At this time, Xu Youning walked to the front row of the auction house. Before sitting down, she turned around and glanced behind her lightly.
Many men present stared at Xu Youning as soon as she came in. As soon as Xu Youning turned around, there was a booing sound in the back seat. Some even whistled at Xu Youning and hooked their fingers. The teasing meaning was obvious.
However, Xu Youning turned back just to see Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun.
She glanced over without leaving any trace, and as expected, she saw surprise on Xiao Yunyun's face, while Shen Yuechuan looked thoughtful.
It seems that Xiao Yunyun discovered her yesterday, and Shen Yuechuan was probably wondering why she appeared in the hospital.
It doesn't matter, she has already taken precautions and they won't notice anything.
Thinking about this, Xu Youning sat down calmly and waited for the auction to officially begin.
At this time, Shen Yuechuan, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly turned his head and said to Xiao Yunyun: "Xu Youning may have gone to the hospital to see a doctor."
"It's unlikely." Xiao Yunyun felt a little unbelievable, "She looks very good."
Shen Yuechuan raised the corners of his lips mysteriously: "If it can be seen from the surface that she is a patient, will Kangruicheng still let her participate in the auction?"
With that said, Shen Yuechuan had already dialed Lu Boyan's phone number and asked Lu Boyan to send someone to check whether Xu Youning had any medical records in the hospital.
After Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone, the auction officially began.
There are many developers eyeing this piece of land. As soon as the auction was announced, bidding signs were frequently raised, and the bidding soon entered a fierce stage.
In the audience, only Shen Yuechuan and Xu Youning remained silent.
Shen Yuechuan made the final bid to create a shocking effect, while Xu Youning did it because he suddenly received a call from Kang Ruicheng.
"Has the auction started?" Kang Ruicheng asked in a relaxed tone.
"It has already begun." Xu Youning lowered his voice and said, "The person sent by the Lu family is Shen Yuechuan. This man is very smart. I am waiting for him to bid."
Kang Ruicheng said "Yeah": "Lu's budget is 20 billion, and the upper limit is 28 billion. After the price reaches 28 billion, you stop bidding."
With a "thump", something seemed to be falling rapidly in Xu Youning's heart, but she had to keep a calm tone: "Why? Didn't you say that you are bound to get this land, and you can't let Lu get it no matter what?"
"We couldn't apply for some approvals because of Lu Boyan's interference." Kang Ruicheng said, "Once the land is in our hands, Lu will definitely intervene in the development project. By then, the land may not be able to make money for us. , it will also waste our time and energy. So, give it to Lu, but don’t let Lu get it easily."
Xu Youning's voice deepened: "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Youning's hands hung weakly by his sides, and he fell into a state of trance.
Last night, she sent an anonymous text message telling Shen Yuechuan that Kangrui City was bound to win that piece of land.
She wanted Lu to raise the price and not let Kangruicheng get it easily, because no matter how much money Lu paid, she would follow Kangruicheng's orders and increase the price without limit, so that Kangruicheng would pay the maximum price to get the piece. land.
But a phone call from Kang Ruicheng instantly reversed the roles of Lu and Su Group - Su Group became the one who raised prices. If Shen Yuechuan listened to her and kept raising prices, he would pay a big price. The person who gets the land becomes the Lu family.
In this way, she would no longer be able to gain the trust of Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan. They would think that the purpose of her sending that text message was to mislead them into increasing the price.
Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to win back Lu Boyan's trust so that she could carry out the next plan smoothly.
But Kang Ruicheng's words ruined everything.
The most important thing is that she can't figure out why Kangruicheng suddenly changed his mind. One day ago, Kangruicheng clearly looked like he was determined to win that piece of land.
When the auction price of the land was raised to 19.5 billion by a developer, a possibility popped into Xu Youning's mind - Kang Ruicheng still didn't trust her.
First, he made her believe that he was determined to win, and then ordered her to raise the price. All this was Kang Ruicheng's plan to prevent her from leaking the news to Lu.
"Twenty billion!!!" the auctioneer's high-pitched voice shouted on the stage, "Mr. Lin from Linsheng Group bids 20 billion! 20 billion once, 20 billion twice..."
Xu Youning closed his eyes and raised the number plate in his hand: "Twenty billion and twenty million."
"Miss Xu, representing the Su Group, bids 20 billion and 20 million!" the auctioneer continued to shout loudly, "Is there anyone else who bids higher?!"
Twenty billion is not only Lu's maximum budget, but also the limit that other companies can bear. Many people have given up bidding. When the auctioneer shouted, other people's eyes turned to Shen Yuechuan in the back row.
Whether looking at the entire auction house or across the auction house, the only one with the strength to compete with the Su Group is the Lu Group.
In the midst of great anticipation, Shen Yuechuan held up the sign calmly: "Two hundred and two billion."
As soon as the last note fell, there was a burst of applause in the auction room.
For a project worth tens of billions, no matter how rich the company is, it would not increase the price by such a large amount. Shen Yuechuan's actions are nothing short of crazy.
Xiao Yunyun couldn't help but tug on Shen Yuechuan's sleeve: "Do you have to be so fierce?"
fierce?
Shen Yuechuan liked this word very much and raised his eyebrows handsomely: "Wait and see."
Compared with Shen Yuechuan's high spirits, Xu Youning's expression can only be described as gloomy - did Shen Yuechuan believe her text message with such a crazy price increase? Should she stop now and let Lu pay two hundred and twenty? Get that piece of land for a price of 100 million?
But if she stopped like this, how could she explain to Kang Ruicheng when she returned? That she was temporarily soft-hearted?
Hehe, she didn't even believe such an excuse.
Her weakness at this moment may lead to the failure of all subsequent plans.
"Twenty-two billion three..."
When the auctioneer was about to finalize the decision, Xu Youning raised the sign in his hand: "Two hundred and twenty-five billion."
Other people's eyes turned to Shen Yuechuan again. Shen Yuechuan seemed to have no idea what he was doing and calmly shouted: "Two hundred and fifty billion."
Xu Youning tried his best to stay calm: "Twenty-six billion."
As soon as she finished her last words, Shen Yuechuan's voice continued without hesitation: "Twenty-seven billion!"
Twenty-seven billion, this almost sky-high price, has exceeded most people's imagination, and the entire auction house fell into an eerie silence.
Other developers participating in the bidding are no longer curious about how much the land will be sold for. Anyway, for Lu Boyan and the Su Group, money is not money at all.
They are more curious about whose hands this land will eventually fall into.
Xu Youning closed his eyes and shouted out the final price: "Two hundred and seventy-nine billion!"
"Ms. Xu from the Su Group bid 27.9 billion!" the auctioneer's excited voice echoed in the auction room, "Two hundred and seventy-nine billion once! Two hundred and seventy-nine twice! Two hundred and seventy. …”
At this point, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yuechuan, waiting to see how high the price he would shout out, but——
"Two hundred and seventy-nine billion three times! Congratulations to the Su Group!"
Shen Yuechuan did not raise a voice until the auctioneer made the final decision. The land was finally sold at a sky-high price, but the entire auction house was silent.
Obviously, Lu's abandonment left everyone confused and even shocked, and the one who was most shocked was Xu Youning.
But after the shock, Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Shen Yuechuan retained a trace of suspicion towards her, otherwise she would have stopped bidding when Shen Yuechuan reached 28 billion.
"The auction is over, Miss Xu, please come to the office with me."
It wasn't until the auctioneer spoke again that the others came to their senses and stood up to leave, with Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan walking at the front.
Xiao Yunyun was confused and asked Shen Yuechuan, "Why did you stop bidding? Our upper limit is 27 billion?"
"Of course not." Shen Yuechuan said, "The price of this land has been raised to this extent. In fact, it is 27 billion or 30 billion. The difference is not big for us."
Xiao Yunyun became even more curious: "Then why don't you fight to the end?"
