Chapter 46

If not for his good looks, he would have been beaten up for being a pervert.

"Yichen, long time no see."

Xu Yichen looked handsome and elegant. He sized her up calmly and scrutinized every inch of her being. He had a unique and clean temperament.

Xu Yichen looked at her and replied in a serious manner, "It's not that we haven't seen each other for a long time. This is the first time we've met."

Indeed, this was the first time he had seen Bai Qi in her new body.

"How is it? Is it pretty?"

"Mother."

She was a beautiful and elegant woman.

"Let's go in and talk. We've already have reserved seats inside." Rong Xiao pushed her shoulder and walked forward. He was in a hurry to satisfy his hunger and thirst. Xu Yichen rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you really planning to start a company?"

"Indeed. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"Ba Qi, did something happen?" Xu Yichen suspected that something was not right when he heard this.

Gu Ruochu took a sip of coffee. "I believe that Rong Xiao has already told you that my current identity is a little strange. There are many mysteries yet to be solved."

Xu Yichen fell into deep thought. He remembered Rong Xiao had told him that Gu Ruochu was not a citizen in any city. She had moved here with Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei more than a year ago, but beyond that her past blank.

The strangest thing was that Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei's details could be found, but they couldn't find anything on Gu Ruochu. The fact that they didn't find much after putting in a lot of effort meant that something fishy must have been going on.

"If I don't become stronger, I don't know what I'll face in the future." Gu Ruochu's lips curled slightly and her dark eyes were unfathomable.

Her current identity had given her a lot of uncertainty and doubt over her future.

"You've thought this through thoroughly."

Gu Ruochu and Rong Xiao looked at each other and smiled. They then came up with names and ideas for the company they were about to register.

"I heard there's an empty plot of land in the north of the city. The old company moved its address, so the backer wants to take this opportunity to raise the price and auction it off. Do you want to try it?"

"When is the auction?"

"At night."

"All right then." Gu Ruochu closed the newspaper and planned to bid on the plot of land later that night.

She had a premonition that the entertainment industry's worst nightmare was about to come back again.

After all, Bai Qi had been a nightmare of the entire industry. She was invincible.

When Rong Xiao thought about it, he suddenly became excited.

They wrapped up the meeting and Gu Ruochu returned to the Huo family home. She prepared the bid for the land as well as other relevant documents for the proposed company.

"..."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Ruochu and Rong Xiao drove straight to the auction venue.

A row of luxury cars had already parked in front of the entrance. Aside from the plot of land, there were also a few other rare items on auction.

The seats at the auction were all specially reserved in private rooms. Gu Ruochu was led by the night shift staff to a specially set position. She could see the movements of the entire crowd.

The plot of land was the first item to be auctioned off.

"Five hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Five hundred and ninety thousand!"

"Five hundred and ninety-six thousand!"

...

Gu Ruochu was in no hurry to make a move as she listened to the bids.

In an auction, the lower the bid, the more the buyers would bid. When most of them could no longer bid, Gu Ruochu suddenly raised the signboard in her hand. "820,000!"

The few bidders were still cowering from the bid. When the auctioneer heard 820,000, he was almost certain that would be the final price. "820,000 going once, 820,000 going twice, 820,000..."

Just as he was about to make his final call, an arrogant female voice suddenly interrupted him. "One million! I want this piece of land!"
