Chapter 47

Hall 1 is the largest hall in the Hanghu Bidding Center, capable of accommodating nearly a thousand people. Generally, only large-scale engineering projects are bid on in this hall.

When Ye Fan and Su Yuxin's group arrived at Hall 1, many people had already gathered, sitting on both sides of the hall, forming two distinct camps, much like the two opposing sides of the Chu and Han dynasties.

Indeed, this was the case—because the Su family and the He family were vying for the Binhe New District Phase I project, other companies had withdrawn. Today, those participating in the bidding were mostly just supporting players for the two families. Only a few real estate company executives came in person, while the rest sent representatives.

The few executives who came in person were mostly because they had nothing else to do and wanted to witness the fierce competition in the Jiangnan real estate industry firsthand.

After Su Yuxin entered the hall, two real estate company executives who came in person approached her to chat, stopping only when He Fenghua's group entered the hall.

Unlike Su Yuxin, He Fenghua brought more people, including not only staff from the He family's real estate companies but also some young men from the real estate industry and other fields.

These young men mostly accompanied He Fenghua to the RV festival and knew what happened that day. Therefore, as they entered the hall, they all looked at Su Yuxin with a gleeful expression, eager to see if she would fulfill the bet after the results were announced!

As for Ye Fan, they completely ignored him.

Clearly, in their eyes, Ye Fan was just a reckless clown, not worth their attention.

At 9:00 AM, the staff, experts, and officials responsible for the project arrived one after another.

The bidding staff first introduced the experts and officials, then provided an overview of the project, the bidding requirements, and the rules for winning the bid.

After completing these tasks, the host looked at the official in the center and said, "Next, please have the participating companies submit their bid documents and credentials to the expert panel for review."

Upon hearing the host's words, representatives from the twenty real estate companies stood up, took their bid documents and credentials, and handed them over. The staff checked the sealing of the bid documents and, after confirming they were correct, passed them to the expert panel.

"Alright, please wait patiently in the hall for further notice."

The host, seeing the situation, spoke again. According to the bidding rules, the expert panel must review the bid documents and credentials under full surveillance, and the representatives of the participating companies cannot be present.

Everyone except Ye Fan knew this rule, so when the host spoke, they all stood up and left Hall 1.

"Ms. Su, don't forget the bet you made at the RV festival."

As soon as Ye Fan and Su Yuxin's group entered the hall, Lu Jian followed like a shadow, grinning.

Whoosh!

Lu Jian's words seemed to have a magical effect, instantly silencing the large hall. Almost everyone turned to look at Su Yuxin.

Among them, the young men led by He Fenghua wore a gleeful expression, while the others looked shocked!

Although they had heard through the grapevine that Su Yuxin had bet with He Fenghua at the RV festival that if she failed to win the Binhe Phase I project, she would spend a night with Lu Jian, they didn't take it seriously.

First, they didn't think that the iron lady, Su Yuxin, would make such an impulsive and absurd decision. Second, the rumor only mentioned what would happen if Su Yuxin lost but didn't specify what would happen if she won.

Now, however, they were beginning to doubt—reason told them that if the bet didn't exist, Lu Jian wouldn't have mentioned it in public!

"You should use those words to remind Mr. He."

A moment later, as those who were unaware made their own judgments, Su Yuxin confirmed their suspicions.

"Uh..."

Seeing Su Yuxin admit the existence of the bet without hesitation, those who were unaware stared at her with wide eyes, shocked. They felt that today's Su Yuxin was so unfamiliar to them.

How could Su Yuxin make such an absurd decision?

In shock, they all asked themselves.

"Ms. Su, do you mean you will definitely fulfill your promise?"

Lu Jian's smile became even more despicable. He knew that by mentioning it in public, he could increase the likelihood of Su Yuxin fulfilling the bet.

"It's too early to talk about fulfilling the promise."

Facing Lu Jian's tricky question, Ye Fan frowned and said before Su Yuxin could speak, "Let's wait for the results."

"What are you? Can you make decisions for Ms. Su?" Lu Jian glared at Ye Fan, annoyed by his interference.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, ready to teach Lu Jian a lesson, but then saw Su Yuxin step in front of him, her face cold. "Mr. Ye is my assistant, and his words represent my intentions. What about you? Can you speak for He Fenghua?"

"Lu Jian is the main character in the bet, so he can represent my intentions."

At this moment, He Fenghua walked up, smiling. "It seems Ms. Su is determined to win. If so, let's wait and see."

With that, He Fenghua smiled confidently and led the young men to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, temporarily abandoning the idea of teaching Lu Jian a lesson, deciding to wait for the results.

"Yuxin, how could you make such a bet with them?" After He Fenghua left with his group, the real estate company executive who had spoken to Su Yuxin earlier approached, full of concern.

Su Yuxin didn't explain, just said confidently, "Uncle Huang, please rest assured, I will be fine."

"Ah..."

The middle-aged man surnamed Huang, hearing this, wanted to say something but thought better of it. The deed was done, and any words now would be futile. He could only hope that the Su family would win the bid.

Compared to the middle-aged man surnamed Huang, the employees of Luhu Group Jiangnan Company, except for Xu Weize and Yang Miaomiao, were even more worried.

However, because Su Yuxin's authority in the company was so high, they didn't dare voice their concerns.

About an hour later, a broadcast in the hall announced that the representatives of the companies bidding for the Binhe Phase I project should return to Hall 1.

"After an hour of review by the expert panel, only four out of the twenty participating companies meet the requirements of the bidding document. These four companies are Bailiang Group, Mingsheng Real Estate Co., Ltd., Yunda Group, and Luhu Group Jiangnan Company."

After everyone returned to Hall 1, the host announced the review results and said, "Next, we will open the bid documents of the four companies and announce the bid prices."

With that, a staff member who was already prepared picked up the bid document of Bailiang Group, showed it to everyone to confirm it was unopened, and then quickly opened it, handing it to the official responsible for the project. The official, after clearing his throat, announced, "Bailiang Group's bid price is 16,578,632,200 yuan, which is above the cost price and meets the bidding requirements."

"Mingsheng Real Estate Co., Ltd.'s bid price is 15,836,257,000 yuan, which is above the cost price and meets the bidding requirements."

After the official's second announcement, Hall 1 fell silent again, so quiet that only the sound of the staff opening the Yunda Group's bid document could be heard.

Looking around, everyone in the hall, except for Ye Fan, who remained calm, showed signs of tension.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that it felt suffocating!

"Yunda Group's bid price is 14,892,054,000 yuan." The official quickly announced the bid price of Yunda Group, breaking the silence in the hall.

Whoosh!

As the official's words fell, all eyes turned to the Luhu Group Jiangnan Company delegation led by Su Yuxin!

It seemed that the people in the hall wanted to judge the outcome of the fierce competition through Su Yuxin's reaction!

"Uh..."

The bid price of Yunda Group echoed in the ears of Zhang Tie and the other nine people, who felt as if a thunderbolt had struck them, leaving them stunned—He Family's bid was only 100 million yuan lower than the Su Family's!

The Su Family lost!

Seeing this, most people in the hall, including the majority, couldn't help but think the same thing.

Did they lose?

After the shock, Zhang Tie and the other nine people turned their heads with difficulty, looking at Su Yuxin with guilt and worry, fearing she couldn't bear the blow!

Did they lose?

The people in the Su Family's camp sighed in unison, and as they sighed, they couldn't help but think of the bet Lu Jian had mentioned, looking at Su Yuxin with worry and sympathy!

Did they lose?

The people in the He Family's camp, including He Fenghua, all wore victorious smiles. Even Lu Jian and the other young men looked at Su Yuxin with lecherous eyes, imagining what she would look like undressed.

Did they lose?

Yang Miaomiao suddenly stood up from her seat, grabbed Su Yuxin's arm with excitement, opened her mouth to say something, but was too excited to utter a word.

Did they lose?

Su Yuxin looked at Ye Fan with excitement, but saw that his expression was as calm as a still lake.

Seeing this, the excitement on Su Yuxin's face suddenly disappeared, and she calmly turned her gaze to the official announcing the results.

Because.

She remembered Ye Fan's words: "What will happen will happen, why get excited?"
