"Yang Tian, do you know him?" "Damn! How could I possibly know him? Isn't he someone you know?" "Damn it! I don't know him either!" Seeing the hesitation among the crowd, Yang Tian and Huang Yilong continued to feign ignorance. This scene left everyone utterly dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? The two were just fine a moment ago, and now they looked like their brains had been fried by Professor Yang. Xu Mingliang was utterly baffled since he had spent five hundred thousand yesterday to treat the two to top models. Moreover, he had given each of them five million just to make them show up and state their position. If everything had gone according to plan, he would have given them another five million afterward. But now? Seeing Xia Liu acted more obediently than towards his own father. Damn it! "Hahaha! Why do I feel something hilariously funny?" "Hehe, you're not the only one who feels it's funny." Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire "How does that saying go? Act tough and get struck by lightning, today I've truly seen it." "Hahaha..." In the audience, looking at the two feigning ignorance and the stunned Xu Mingliang, countless people burst into laughter. "Xia Liu, what's going on? You seem too familiar with them just to have met them briefly." Mo Wanqing was also surprised by this turn of events, very curious as to what interesting incident led Yang Tian and Huang Yilong to abandon Xu Mingliang, their friend. "It's nothing, I just saved them once," Xia Liu responded quietly. "Host, I represent Golden Origin Technology to support him." "I also represent Xinxin Jewelry to support him." Huang Yilong and Yang Tian pointed at Xia Liu and spoke solemnly. "Pfft!" Feng Mingkun almost sprayed out blood, the speed of this betrayal in the plot was too fast; he was totally bewildered by the abrupt turn of events. Li Zhong laughed, truly, a young hero, he hadn't misjudged Xia Liu. The audience was also shocked. The boat of friendship had capsized suddenly as the two investors invited by Xu Mingliang defected to support Xia Liu. They could already guess that if today's events got out, Xu Mingliang would lose face for years. Cheng Fei's eyes widened; he had thought Xu Mingliang was certain to win and was about to declare his support for him. But in less than a few minutes, the winner had shifted to Xia Liu. Xu Mingliang sat down in his chair in a daze. Everything was over. He had come out this time full of ambitions and had even made a bet with his family, giving himself thirty million and was sure to secure the project. If the thirty million failed to secure it, then he was willing to give up a quarter of his family fortune. Now it seemed he had lost, and lost miserably! "Plus my Wanqing Group, I wonder if this would suffice to assure the Osmanthus Group?" Seeing this, Mo Wanqing added fuel to the fire, completely shattering Feng Mingkun and Xu Mingiang's schemes. "Heh, looking at the current situation, the Osmanthus Group has gained the trust and support of three major groups. Director Feng, how should we announce this now?" Li Zhong subtly hinted at Feng Mingkun. "What else? The competitors are gone, other than him who else can we declare?" Feng Mingkun yelled back. Hearing Feng Mingkun say this, Li Zhong laughed, and the final winner turned out to be Xia Liu indeed. "So now, I declare that this round of bidding has been won by Osmanthus Group!" Li Zhong quickly announced the result. Down in the audience, many people started clapping, this bidding was simply miraculous. Initially, no one believed that Osmanthus Group could win, yet they actually did. However, all eyes were on Xia Liu, everyone was curious about this young man's background. Even the investors brought in by Xu Mingliang had switched sides, and with Mo Wanqing's strong support, it was certainly not something an ordinary person could achieve. After Li Zhong announced the result, the venue quickly cleared out. Some people wanted to get to know Xia Liu, but in the end, they didn't dare to because they had all mocked him before. Ye Yiming gave Xia Liu a glance, his lips curling into a sly smile before he left the theater. As for what he was thinking, no one knew. Cheng Fei and Xu Mingliang also left quickly; they couldn't afford to lose any more face. Especially Xu Mingliang, he didn't dare speak about Yang Tian and Huang Yilong's defection. The former were well-known enterprises in Liu Hai City, if he really provoked them, East Enterprise could face significant trouble. "Congratulations, Xia Liu." After everyone had left, Li Zhong and two others came over to congratulate Xia Liu. "Uncle Zhong, this is what I should do; Hejing's future must be planned and developed by those who belong here." "Well said! I'm going back to write a report, and we'll talk more in detail later." Li Zhong patted Xia Liu on the shoulder and left with his companions. "Xia Liu, I also want to congratulate you. In a few years, your achievements will be known nationwide," Mo Wanqing knew the developmental value of the Eastern District, which involved cooperation at the county level or even higher. In the future, the land there would likely belong to Xia Liu and if Hejing develops, it would surely be worth its weight in gold. "Hey, being famous nationwide is nothing, as long as the whole world knows about Hejing," Xia Liu waved his hand indifferently. ... Yang Tian and Huang Yilong almost fell to the ground; Xia Liu was really going all out with his act, "Heh, no matter what, I support you. I'll continue to watch, and I will give you a surprise when the construction starts." Mo Wanqing knew Xia Liu's character, and didn't find his promises strange. After making her promise, she left. The scene was left with just Yang Tian, Huang Yilong, and Xia Liu. Without any instruction from Xia Liu, neither of them dared to move a step. "I heard you say that you're going to support Osmanthus Group vigorously," Xia Liu said with a devilish smile, now that no one was around. "Damn!" Yang Tian and Huang Yilong inwardly groaned, Xia Liu was clearly setting a financial trap. "Of course! As long as the benefactor commands, we will definitely go through fire and water!" Both promised earnestly. "Going through fire and water won't be necessary for you, but as you know, I now need a little…" Xia Liu didn't finish his sentence and winked at them both. "Damn it!" Yang Tian and Huang Yilong nearly cried; this trip turned out to be a loss of both wife and troops. Had they known that this killer god was here, they wouldn't have dared to come even for a billion. "Benefactor, I have thirty million in savings. I will donate it all to the project," Yang Tian said weakly after thinking it over. Before Huang Yilong could speak, Xia Liu asked suspiciously, "Only thirty million?" "Wait! I just remembered, I have another twenty million, that's fifty million total!" "Benefactor, I also have fifty million in savings, which I will now donate to the project." "Heh, then on behalf of Osmanthus Group, I thank you for your support," Xia Liu wrapped things up and then provided the two men with the account numbers to which they should transfer the money. After the transfer was completed, Xia Liu planned to invite them to dinner, but before he could even open his car door, a mocking voice came, "What? Had the winning bid and thought you could just leave?"
