A woman in a suit on stage held a microphone and said, “Next, the 24th piece of land is in a suburb west of Shanghai. The owner is Lu Yaohua. The starting bid is 100 million yuan. Each bid will be an increment of 10 thousand yuan. If you’re interested, you can start now!”

The hall that was filled with whispers immediately fell silent.

No one was willing to raise their card!

They only investigated the piece of land they wanted. As for the rest, it was up to their mood. 100 million yuan was not expensive to them, but it was not cheap either.

In addition, the manager had already sent someone to tell them that the value of the piece of land might fall and that its feng shui was not good.

So they did not have a reason to bid for it

With their net worth, there was no need to get into Lu Yaohua’s favor. If it was the previous Lu Yaohua, they would not mind buying it. But now, everyone knew that the Lu Corporation was almost declared bankrupt.

It was good enough that they did not leap on him when he was down. How could they be willing to help?

“We’re not related. Why should we?”

Lu Yaohua’s eyes darted around. Was no one willing to buy it even though the price had dropped by 100 million yuan? Could it be that he would have to drop it to tens of millions?! He shook his head inwardly. Now that he was carrying tens of millions of yuan in debt, the company was still waiting to use this money to fill the shortfall!

At this moment, he was so anxious that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had told those bosses that he would repay the money in half an hour. If he did not sell it successfully, his villa would have to be given to someone else. At that time, Tang Wenyi would definitely not hesitate to leave him and take Lu Ze away!

Then he would be alone.

Moreover, the company would definitely collapse. He did not want to go back to the hard times of the past!

He had had enough of living in poverty. Ever since he met Tang Wenyi, his career had been thriving and he had become a rising star in the business world! After so many years, he could not give up on such a luxurious life!

He did not want to lose everything!

So he prayed desperately that whoever it was would buy this land! He was hard pressed for money!

The auctioneer on the stage tugged at the corner of her lips. She had been in the industry for so many years and had not seen such a scene in a long time. Usually, people would not raise their cards when they held an item in contempt. However, it was rare to see a scene like this.

“This piece of land actually has a good future. Is anyone willing to bid for it?”

A middle-aged rich businessman said, “Who will buy this piece of rundown land? Although we have a lot of money, we’re not fools. Who would be so rich that they’d be willing to buy such rundown land? Are the prospects good? If it’s really as good as you say, why hasn’t anyone raised their card yet?”

“I’m curious too. I don’t want such a piece of junk even if it’s given to me for free. How did you let it go through the auction process? It’s really lowering the standards of the auction house. I’d even have to think twice before buying it for a few million yuan, let alone 100 million yuan. If there’s really no one, let’s pass.”

He was not afraid of Lu Yaohua. He did not even care about the Lu Corporation at its peak, not to mention the Lu Corporation now.

Other comments echoed his sentiments.

“That’s right! It has been so long. Since no one is buying, there’s no need to be deadlocked, right? We’re not idlers. I still have matters to attend to at my company!”

“That’s right! The land I want this time is still very far behind! Could the auctioneer be related to Lu Yaohua? Otherwise, why do you look like you want to promote his land?”

“Hurry up. I’m in a hurry. No one will buy this piece of land. Let’s hurry up and move to the next piece!”

…

Their words pierced Lu Yaohua’s heart. Was his land really that worthless?

Just as he stopped holding out hope and the auctioneer was about to proceed to other lands, someone in the corner raised a card and said, “101 million yuan.”

Instantly, everyone looked at him.

They could not help wondering which foolish person was willing to spend so much money on useless land.

When Lu Yaohua saw the person’s face, he was stunned for a long time.

“Why is it Lu Ming?!”

He recalled what was said just now. In other words, Lu Ming had witnessed his humiliation?

Was he bidding to mock him now?

His mind was instantly filled with a myriad of thoughts. So there would come a day when he was mocked by his abandoned son?

In fact, the reason why Lu Ming was laughing was that Chu Jinyu kept telling jokes at his side. Lu Yaohua had misunderstood his actions.

The auctioneer heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Ming with gratitude. He said, “Number 58 is offering 101 million yuan. Is anyone willing to pay a higher price? Is there anyone else?”

The middle-aged tycoon said impatiently, “I think this is the highest price, right? One look and you can tell that this piece of land is not worth anything. They’re already giving face by being willing to add 100 thousand yuan. Hurry up and end the sale.”

There was a lot of discussion in the venue.

“Brother Lu, I remember that you have a villa at home? I’m interested in bidding for it when you auction it, but your wife will definitely be the first to disagree! Hahahaha!”

“I’m afraid you’re still waiting to use this money to pay your debts, right? The creditors probably can’t wait any longer. To think that you actually auctioned this piece of land. If this isn’t fraud, what are you doing?”

“You’re lucky that an idiot is kind enough to bid for it! No one else would be willing to spend a single cent. You’d have made a wasted trip today. Perhaps your company will be forced to look bankrupt!”

…

Their mocking smiles were enough to show that Lu Yaohua was not well-liked.

After all, to them, Lu Yaohua was just a freeloader. What right did he have to be on par with them? Without the support of the Tang family, Lu Yaohua could not have risen so quickly!

As for the protagonist they had mocked, he clenched his fists and made up his mind. When he made a comeback, he would never let these people off!

“102 million yuan.”

Chu Jinyu raised her sign and smiled like a flower.

Then Han Qianjing raised her card with great interest. “103 million yuan.”

She did not really want this piece of land. She just wanted to play with her daughter and that young man. Anyway, there was someone who offered a higher bid. She glanced at Tang Er. She had seen with her own eyes what Lu Ming had told him after the other party had taken his seat.

She then looked at Chu Jinyu beside her and sighed softly in her heart. Why was her daughter so useless? She could not wait to stick by her lover the moment she saw him. She did not look like a member of the Chu family at all.

As expected, Tang Er also raised his card and said, “104 million yuan!”

Their actions confirmed their guess. If this piece of land was really that good, would the big shots need to raise the bid by 100 thousand yuan? It would probably be over a billion yuan by now.

This was evidence that this place was worthless.. At most, it was worth the starting price.ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
