Best Young Master

The No.

1 hall at Hanghu Bidding Center is the largest one, capable of accommodating nearly a thousand people.

Normally, only large-scale construction projects are put out to tender in this hall.

By the time Ye Fan and Su Yuxin, along with their entourage, arrived at Hall No.

1, many people had already reached the hall, sitting on either side, divided into two distinct camps as if they were the divided realms of Chu and Han.

And indeed it was so—because the Su Family and the He Family were vying with all their might for the Binhe New District Phase One project, other companies had backed out, so those who came to bid today were merely there to make up the numbers, with only a few real estate company directors coming in person, while the rest had merely sent someone over arbitrarily.

The few real estate company directors who did come in person were mostly there because they were free, and wished to witness the dragon-tiger fight of the Jiangnan real estate industry with their own eyes during their leisure time.

After Su Yuxin entered the hall, two real estate company directors from the Su camp, who had come in person, came over one after another to talk, stopping only when He Fenghua and his group entered the hall.

Unlike Su Yuxin, He Fenghua brought more people with him, including not only staff from the He Family’s real estate companies but also some young masters from the real estate industry and other domains.

These young masters had mostly accompanied He Fenghua to the motorhome festival and were aware of what had happened that day, so upon entering the hall, they all looked at Su Yuxin with schadenfreude in their eyes—they were very curious to see whether Su Yuxin would fulfill the gambling promise after the results came out!

As for Ye Fan, they completely ignored him.

Obviously…

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

At nine o’clock, the bidding center staff, experts, and officials responsible for the project successively arrived.

The bidding center staff member hosting the bid opening first introduced the experts and officials, and then outlined the project overview, bidding requirements, and bid-winning rules.

Having completed all this, the host sought approval from the officials seated centrally with a glance and said, “Now, we invite the enterprises participating in the bidding to submit their bid documents and qualifications to the expert panel for review.”

Upon hearing the host’s words, representatives from the twenty real estate companies stood up one after another, took their bid documents and qualifications up to the front, where the staff checked the sealing of the bid documents, and after confirming there were no mistakes, handed them over to the members of the expert panel.

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

Seeing this, the host spoke again.

According to the bidding rules, the expert panel must be under full surveillance while reviewing the bid documents, and representatives from the bidding enterprises were not allowed to be present.

Everyone except Ye Fan was aware of this rule.

Thus, upon hearing the host’s words, people left Hall No.

1 one after another.

“Mr.

Su, please don’t forget the gambling promise you made at the motorhome festival,” said Lu Jian, following Ye Fan and Su Yuxin out to the lobby just after they left, grinning cheaply.

Whoosh!

Lu Jian’s words seemed to carry some kind of magic, instantly quieting the large hall, with almost everyone turning their gaze toward Su Yuxin.

The young masters, led by He Fenghua, looked on with schadenfreude, while others were shocked!

Although they had heard through the grapevine that Su Yuxin had gambled with He Fenghua at the motorhome festival, pledging to spend a night with Lu Jian if they failed to win the Binhe Project Phase One, they didn’t take it seriously.

Firstly, they couldn’t believe that Su Yuxin, known as the Iron Lady, would make such an impulsive and absurd decision; secondly, the rumor only mentioned what Su Yuxin would do if she lost, but said nothing about what He Fenghua would do if Su Yuxin won.

But now, they began to waver—their logic told them that if the wager didn’t exist, Lu Jian definitely wouldn’t be mentioning it publicly!

“You should use that reminder for Mr.

He,” said Su Yuxin after a moment, when those out-of-the-loop were silently making their judgment, confirming their speculations.

“Uh…”
