182 Evidence in Hand
“Next, please show us your expected price!”
Zhou Xuan straightened his back and sat quietly on the black sofa. His slender fingers curled slightly, and Mu Wei immediately took out the board in his hand. There were two large words written on it.
[600 million.]
“600 million. Boss Zhou offered 600 million for the first time!” The host immediately raised his voice as if he had mobilized his emotions. “Then what’s Boss Tang’s price? Let’s see Boss Tang’s bid next.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hong, the female assistant beside Tang Li, also removed the cloth covering the board with her slender hand. A number appeared in front of the public.
[500 million.]
The host immediately announced the price. “Although the final price is slightly inferior to Boss Zhou, President Tang also offered 500 million!”
As soon as the prices of the Zhou and Tang Corporations were out, the two of them roughly made up their minds. At the same time, they began to plan their next step.
In the dim environment, Tang Li glanced at Zhou Xuan and met his deep black eyes. She smiled formally. “President Zhou’s premium price is already higher than mine. It seems like you’re determined to win today’s auction.”
“President Tang, it takes one to know one.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. On the surface, they looked calm. Although the two competing parties did not say anything extreme and even appeared to be very harmonious for a while, they were obviously at odds.
Small companies also made bids, but they were far from the two. Naturally, they no longer held any hope. By the time all the companies completed the first round of bids, half an hour had passed.
However, the first time was only a trial price. It gave its initial expected price. The final ownership was still determined by the second bid.
The host put down the hammer. “Everyone, we’ll take a half-hour break. In half an hour, we’ll welcome the final outcome of this auction.” As the host left the venue, the curtain fell and covered the entire rostrum. The lights in the venue lit up all of a sudden, making many people unable to adapt for a moment.
Taking advantage of the intermission, Dong Peng leaned forward slightly and stuck his head out. “Zhou Xuan, regarding Yan’er’s matter this time…”
“Wait, Uncle Dong.” Before Dong Peng could finish speaking, Shan Yue interrupted him. “There are too many people here. It’s not convenient to talk. Let’s go to the lounge and talk in detail.” With that, she turned to look at Zhou Xuan.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement. “Mu Wei, come too. We can discuss the final bid price for the next round. We can’t lose, or all our efforts will be in vain.”
“Okay, I understand.”
While Zhou Xuan and Mu Wei were talking, Shan Yue quickly turned around and whispered in a voice that only she and Dong Peng could hear, “Uncle Dong, don’t tell anyone about the evidence in my hands when we talk later. I have other plans for this recording at the end.”
Although Dong Peng did not understand why she did this, he still nodded and agreed.
The four of them stood up at the same time and walked towards the lounge. This action would definitely attract the attention of many people, including Tang Li and the others.
“Tang Hong, follow them and take a look.” Tang Li covered her mouth and whispered into her assistant’s ear, “Dong Peng has clearly announced that he won’t participate in the competition. Why is he walking with Zhou Xuan at this time? If the two of them work together at this time, this matter will be troublesome.”
“I understand, President Tang.” With that, Assistant Tang Hong immediately stood up and followed Shan Yue and the others. However, how could this small action escape Shan Yue’s eyes? Years of killer instincts and reactions were not something those fancy moves could compare to.
Therefore, the moment she got up, she saw the two of them talking with their heads lowered. Then, one of them walked over. It was obvious what this person’s motive was. However, Shan Yue did not expose this person. Instead, she wanted to see what tricks the Tang family was up to.
