Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1406 Seeing Jian Changsheng Again

The representatives of the companies who came to the auction chatted in the hall for a while. When they could enter, Jian Ai came out of the bathroom.

“You ran away quickly,” Bai Zhou whispered.

Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment. “You’re naturally like a fish in water on such an occasion. You can handle it.”

“Jian Changsheng is here too,” Bai Zhou said bluntly.

He had noticed Jian Changsheng the moment he entered.

Jian Ai was not surprised. She would be surprised only if Jian Changsheng did not come today.

Jian Ai had also heard some things from Jian Yu in the past two years. Jian Changsheng always looked for Jian Yu secretly. There was nothing else. He just wanted to see his son and say something of concern. Then, he would ask about Jian Ai.

Jian Yu didn’t like Jian Changsheng’s actions at first. He almost hit him a few times. However, Jian Changsheng never got angry. Not long after, he still went to see him.

Over time, Jian Yu couldn’t be bothered to flare up, but he had never admitted Jian Changsheng in his heart.

The two of them had seen each other over ten times in two years. Jian Changsheng didn’t receive any response from Jian Yu, but it satisfied Jian Changsheng to see his son.

When Jian Yu told Jian Ai about this, Jian Ai thought she had heard a joke.

Not completely pretentious was Jian Ai’s usual evaluation of Jian Changsheng.

Since he could choose to abandon their mother and them back then, he should not have hoped that he would receive their forgiveness one day.

No matter how much he regretted or did, he was not worthy of forgiveness.

To Jian Ai and Jian Yu, even if Jian Changsheng died a hundred times, it wouldn’t offset the suffering their mother had suffered over the years.

After entering the auction hall, the first row of chairs automatically became empty. The seats in this row were self-evident. They were all seats for the big shots. The representatives of the small companies sat back tacitly.

Bai Zhou and Jian Ai came to the first row, where Chen Lei was sitting.

“Uncle Chen!”

Jian Ai recognized Chen Lei at a glance and immediately greeted him.

Chen Lei was looking down at the document in his hand. He looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw Jian Ai. Then, he reacted. “Xiao… Xiao Ai?”

Chen Lei stood up and revealed an agitated smile. “You’re back? When did you come back?”

Jian Ai smiled and nodded. “I came back on the day of the college entrance examination. I went straight to the examination venue as soon as I got off the plane.”

Chen Lei couldn’t help but smile when he heard that. “Child, why didn’t you tell Uncle when you came back? Uncle could have welcomed you.”

“Don’t mention it!” Jian Ai looked helpless. “I’ve been away for two years and came back with a lot of things. Look, I came here personally today. I didn’t even have time to catch my breath! I still have to go to a gathering with my friends tomorrow!”

Chen Lei smiled and nodded in understanding. “I understand, but when you’re free, you must call Uncle. Uncle will treat you to a meal. Let’s have a good chat.”

The two companies were deep business partners, and Jian Ai and Chen Lei were old friends.

When eating with Chen Lei, the two of them had a lot to talk about.

Jian Ai nodded and sat beside Chen Lei with Bai Zhou.

At this moment, Jian Changsheng walked to the first row with the company’s employees and saw Jian Ai sitting at the edge.

Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment before joy appeared on his face. Just as he was about to greet Jian Ai, Bai Zhou stood up. “CEO Jian, long time no see.”

Bai Zhou’s sudden appearance choked his words.

Helpless, Jian Changsheng could only smile apologetically and reply, “Manager Bai, you’re here, too.”

Jian Ai looked up and saw Jian Changsheng. She lowered her head.

Faced with Jian Ai’s disregard, Jian Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. He took the opportunity to talk to Bai Zhou and sat beside him.

As such, only Bai Zhou was between Jian Ai and Jian Changsheng.

Bai Zhou sat upright like a human wall, blocking Jian Changsheng’s vision.

Not long after, the auction started.

It was the usual auction process, and the various companies had already received information about the land being auctioned today.

Jian Ai was not interested in the other pieces of land. The goal of this trip was very clear.

After the three pieces of land, seeing that Jian Ai did not take action for a long time, Chen Lei had already guessed it.

“Are you here for the eighth piece of land?” Chen Lei whispered.

Jian Ai smiled. “It’s not just me. Uncle Chen is the same, right?”

Hongxiang Group and the Jian Group did not raise their cards for a long time. Their goal was the same.

“Uncle Chen can’t let out this piece of land, so I won’t give it to you,” Chen Lei said calmly.

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. “It’s all based on our abilities. Besides, we’re not the only ones. There are wolves in front and tigers behind.”

Chen Lei nodded in agreement.

Soon, the information on the eighth piece of land appeared on the big screen.

The staff introduced into the microphone, “Eighth piece of land, at the center of South City. The center of South City’s reconstruction plan. The total area is…”

It was located in the center of South City, which was also the center of the reconstruction plan. One could imagine its potential.

The government spent a lot of effort to redevelop South City District. They wanted to build South City into a prosperous trading economy. It could be said that it was the second Haicheng District.

Although it was just one piece of land in the center, the various companies flocked to it.

“The starting price is seventy million yuan. The increase per bid is three million yuan!”

The hammer fell, and the bidding started!

Chen Lei was the first to bear the brunt. “Seventy-six million yuan!”

Lu Youcai followed closely behind. “Eighty-two million yuan!”

Jian Changsheng also raised his card. “Eighty-five million yuan!”

“Ninety-one million yuan!”

“Ninety…”

The price soared. Big companies were determined to win, and small companies had emptied their assets to take a gamble.

Jian Ai was not in a hurry to bid. There would be many people taking part in such a golden piece of land. She was just waiting for the price to go up before participating in the final stage.

Not long after, the price of this piece of land exceeded one hundred and ten million yuan.

This price was enough to dissuade most real estate companies.

If not for their strength, few companies could have liquid capital of over a hundred million yuan.

She nodded at Bai Zhou to show that she would attack!

Bai Zhou raised his number plate and said, “One hundred and thirty million yuan!”

The scene was in an uproar. East Sea Real Estate had jumped by twenty million yuan!

The host was also stunned for a moment before blurting, “The seventh bidder, one hundred and thirty million yuan! Is there any more…”

Chen Lei continued to bid. “One hundred and thirty-six million yuan!”

Lu Youcai followed closely behind. “One hundred and thirty-nine million yuan!”

Bai Zhou: “One hundred and fifty million yuan!”

The second jump of ten million yuan made Chen Lei understand.

If East Sea Real Estate’s bid had jumped like this, they would not let go of this piece of land.

If he continued to follow, he would just raise the price for East Sea Real Estate for no reason.

As a business partner and Jian Ai’s friend, Chen Lei stopped in time and put down his number plate to withdraw from the auction.
