Chapter 340 Auction
The rain was still falling, and Shen Yi's tall figure contrasted with the sparse rain outside, revealing a quietness in the blur.
Jiang Jingci lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.
Inadvertently, the two men's eyes met.
They smiled at each other without any prior agreement, and the tacit understanding between them was beyond words.
They loved the same woman and had the same enemy that they hated so much.
Their common experience made them quickly find the points of convergence and tied them together!
Shen Yi said calmly: "I have asked a professional organization to conduct research on the unfinished buildings in the southern suburbs. If you want to revitalize it, you need to invest a lot of financial and material resources. I really don't understand why Xie Yansheng likes it!"
"Things that can catch Xie Yansheng's eye will always have their merits." Jiang Jingci flicked the ash off his cigarette, "If he can revitalize the unfinished buildings, I can too. The most urgent thing is to get the building. I heard that Xie Yansheng is determined to win this time."
"Whether it is a loss or a profit, I will follow this order." Shen Yi's deep eyes swept across Jiang Jingci's face.
Jiang Jingci smiled without diminishing, his eyes were so deep that you couldn't see the bottom, "Mr. Shen just said what I really think."
After the funeral, Wen Lan accompanied Zhou Qiao back to the hospital.
Zhou Qiao deliberately kept a handful of Zhao Huan's ashes.
Wrapped it with white cloth, put it in a black porcelain bottle that had been prepared long ago, and held it tightly against his heart.
Only in this way can Zhou Qiao have an illusion that Zhao Huan is still by his side.
Although she knew that this kind of illusion was unrealistic, she still enjoyed it and couldn't help herself.
At night, Zhou Qiao slept with the porcelain bottle in her arms, and Wen Lan lay on the accompanying bed opposite her. Her suppressed crying was intermittent, and Wen Lan woke up more than ten times overnight.
When she got up the next day, Wen Lan already had two obvious dark circles under her eyes.
The nurse brought breakfast, and Wen Lan said a lot of nice things. Zhou Qiao drank half a bowl of porridge and lay down again with the porcelain bottle in her arms.
In the morning, a foreign partner of TT came. Out of courtesy and respect, Wen Lan prepared to go to the airport with Sister Su to meet him.
Before leaving the ward, Wen Lan comforted Zhou Qiao again, and Zhou Qiao didn't say a word with red eyes.
Wen Lan quietly told the two nurses to take good care of Zhou Qiao, and then left the hospital distressed and helpless.
The Lincheng studio was handed over to Xiao Li for full responsibility. Many things in Jiangcheng needed her to make the final decision. Every piece of clothing from the three studios had to be reviewed by her before it was delivered to the customer.
She was busy with work at TT, but she couldn't let go of Zhou Qiao, so she had to call the nurse every two or three hours to ask.
Accompanying Zhou Qiao in the hospital, she would receive more than a dozen calls from the studio every two or three hours, from small matters such as fabric allocation to big matters such as interaction with the media, all of which required her to do it herself.
She had gotten used to this busy life in Lincheng in the past few months, and now she could handle it with ease even if the workload was twice as much as before.
After meeting with Sister Su, the two rushed to the airport together, picked up the partner from country F and sent her to a star-rated hotel in the city.
The partner was a single woman in her forties who had been full of longing for oriental culture since childhood. On the way back from the airport, she kept saying in broken Chinese that she wanted to see the "Man Yue Temple" in the west district of Jiangcheng.
Man Yue Temple is a temple left over from the Ming Dynasty. In the past two years, the government has been constantly making a fuss about it, and it has become a must-see business card for outsiders to Jiangcheng.
After checking in, Wen Lan gave her car keys to Sister Su, and asked Sister Su to drive this woman who was full of curiosity about Jiangcheng to the "Man Yue Temple".
Wen Lan wanted to take a taxi back to TT, but when she was waiting for the elevator, she heard someone talking about the unfinished building in the southern suburbs being auctioned in the auditorium on the top floor of the hotel, and the bidding of several buyers had reached a fever pitch.
Hearing this news, Wen Lan felt mixed emotions.
She really wanted to see with her own eyes how Xie Yansheng, Jiang Jingci and Shen Yi spent a lot of money to bid for an unfinished building!
From the elevator to the top floor.
The front and back doors of the auditorium where the auction was held were open. She was afraid of attracting unnecessary attention, so she took out a mask from her handbag and put it on, walked gently into the back door and found the most inconspicuous corner to sit down.
She saw Xie Yansheng in the front row at a glance.
With a slender and straight back, a well-fitting black handmade suit, and elegance and strategic planning in his every move.
Since the last unpleasant parting, she rejected all calls from Xie Yansheng, and Xie Yansheng did not come to her again, and the two have been in a cold war.
Although one was in front and the other was behind, with a distance of 10 to 20 meters between them, her heart still couldn't help boiling when she saw Xie Yansheng.
The auctioneer was standing on the stage with a smile on his face. Shen Yi and Xie Yansheng, who were sitting in the opposite direction, kept raising their cards to increase the bids. The venue was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
When the shocking number came out of the auctioneer's mouth, Wen Lan almost dropped her jaw!
An unfinished building worth only tens of millions of yuan actually tripled after several rounds of bidding!
Wen Lan saw that Jiang Jingci was sitting next to Shen Yi, and suddenly she was worried about Xie Yansheng.
She opened her phone and quickly typed "It's boring to spend so much money to accompany two crazy people to gamble. Is it worth it?" and sent it to Xie Yansheng.
Xie Yansheng and she seemed to have a telepathic connection. He quickly picked up the phone and took a look, then slightly leaned his upper body and looked back.
She didn't want to be seen by Xie Yansheng, so she quickly pulled down her mask and lowered her head.
But Xie Yansheng's message came back quickly: Lanlan, I see you.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked cautiously in the direction of Xie Yansheng.
Xie Yansheng also turned sideways to look behind him, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
In less than five seconds, she was defeated by Xie Yansheng's meaningful gaze. She opened her phone and sent another text message saying "If it's just for ridiculous face, it's better to stop as soon as possible."
Xie Yan replied instantly: I listen to you.
Soon, she heard the auctioneer's final price call.
The unfinished building in the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng was finally bought by Shen Yi for nearly 200 million!
To be precise, Shen Yi and Jiang Jingci teamed up to stop Xie Yansheng at the auction and won a great victory!
When the auctioneer personally handed over the land deed of the unfinished building to Shen Yi, Shen Yi immediately became the focus of the auction. The reporters who had been at the auction for a long time began to add icing on the cake, making Shen Yi look like a winner.
In everyone's opinion, Xie Yansheng failed because he was unable to match Shen Yi and Jiang Jingci financially, but Xie Yansheng's face was filled with a gentle smile.
Shen Yi and Jiang Jingci attracted the attention of most people in the venue.
Xie Yansheng took this opportunity and walked from the front row to Wen Lan, who was about to leave in the back. He smiled deeply and raised his eyebrows, "Let's go down and chat for a while."
Wen Lan didn't show any pretense, and walked out of the auction house quickly with her handbag in hand. The sound of thanking the banquet followed closely behind her, and Jiang Jingci in front of her could see the whole scene.
