The Bright Auction

Huo Yancheng looked at Shen Mingzhu, who kept smiling because of his compliment, feeling a little helpless. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Songzhe, who was sitting on the other side. He knew that the Yan family also had their eyes on the land on the outskirts of the city.

Originally, he was thinking about competing with the Yan family, but now that the Shen family has also set their sights on him, he gave up the competition and gave this opportunity to Shen Mingzhu.

Although the future valuation of this land will not be low, losing it will not be a big loss for the Huo family.

But it is different for the Yan family. The Yan family wants to open up a piece of land to build a new entertainment company, and this land on the outskirts of the city is a key development area for the government both now and in the future.

The surrounding facilities are also being developed, so the flow of people will not be small.

If an entertainment company is built here, not only will the area be large, but as long as the floors are built high, it will be the leader in that area and people will be able to see it at a glance.

It can also be seen from Shen Mingzhu's attitude towards Yan Songzhe that she knows that the Yan family also wants to compete for this land, so her attitude towards Yan Songzhe is somewhat cold.

But doesn't Shen Mingzhu know that the Huo family will also compete for this land?

Of course not, but Shen Mingzhu still treated him with kindness, which made him curious. Isn't she afraid of not being able to compete with the Huo family?

He thought so and asked.

Shen Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Huo Yancheng and wondered if the one competing with the original body in the book was not the Yan family but the Huo family.

But when she met Huo Yancheng's calm and indifferent eyes, she suddenly felt that this was impossible. If he wanted to compete with her for this piece of land, he would probably tell her openly, but certainly not tell her that he could not compete with the Huo family.

Instead, he told her that there was no need to compete because as long as he set his eyes on something, he would never let it go.

Since Huo Yancheng didn't say it explicitly, it meant that he had no intention of competing with her for this piece of land. Even if he had wanted to buy this piece of land on the outskirts of the city before, he has given up now.

This is simply because she also wants to compete for this land...

Shen Mingzhu didn't know whether the original person in the book knew about this or how he felt after knowing it, but her mood was a little complicated at this moment.

Shen Mingzhu thought that Huo Yancheng was a pretty good person.

He is truly a trustworthy person, as he can give up such valuable land on demand.

Shen Mingzhu certainly didn't think that she would not be able to compete for this piece of land. Even the love-brained original in the book could bid for this piece of land. Even if it was bought at a high price, it was still bought.

To avoid any accidents, Shen Mingzhu also prepared cash that was much higher than the original auction price.

Of course, it is not paper cash, but cash that can be withdrawn from a bank card.

Shen Mingzhu felt that the Yan family failed in the competition, not because they lost to the Shen family, but because they did not have as much cash as the original body had prepared. Of course, she did not expect that the original body would bid such a high price in order to buy the land for her fiancé.

This resulted in the disastrous defeat of the Yan family, which had originally been confident.

It didn't make sense that the original body could take the photo for love, but Shen Mingzhu couldn't, so she almost told Yan Songzhe directly that she had her eyes on the land on the outskirts of the city, telling him clearly that she was determined to get it.

The person who came with Yan Songzhe was a young man, probably an assistant or some other staff member.

At this moment, the two people were talking in low voices. The sound of their voices could be heard, but it was unclear what they were saying. It was obvious that they were discussing the next auction.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at it and stopped paying attention. She looked at Huo Yancheng and answered his question: "If Mr. Huo wants to bid, we will bid fairly and openly, and the highest bidder will win. Even if I don't win the bid, it doesn't matter. That's my fault and has nothing to do with Mr. Huo."

Huo Yancheng listened to Shen Mingzhu's words and turned his gaze to her serious face. What she said sounded nice, but she probably didn't mean it that way in her heart. She came here just for this piece of land.

When Huo Yancheng heard the conversation and attitude between Shen Mingzhu and Yan Songzhe just now, he knew that she was determined to get this piece of land.

So he could easily tell that what Shen Mingzhu said was just polite talk. Although it sounded nice, it was probably just like what she said; even if the Huo family wanted to bid for this land, it would still be a fair competition with the highest bidder winning. But before saying this, Shen Mingzhu added the word "above board".

Huo Yancheng looked at Yan Songzhe on his left, who was whispering about countermeasures with his assistant. Shen Mingzhu did not lower her voice when she said this just now, so the other party must have heard it as well and was looking at Shen Mingzhu with a subtle look at this moment.

At this moment, Shen Mingzhu was looking sideways at him, so she didn't notice Yan Songzhe's eyes. Even if she noticed it, she probably wouldn't care. Since she said it, she was not afraid of the other party caring about it.

This girl is quite decisive and a little different from before...

The auction happened to start at this moment. The people below stopped whispering and focused their attention on the host of the auction house on the podium.

Shen Mingzhu and Huo Yancheng stopped talking. Even though they knew Huo Yancheng would not compete with her, they could not let their guard down, especially since Yan Songzhe was watching them closely.

After the host said a few opening remarks, the first item was quickly brought up.

There is a large screen behind the host, with photos and introductions of the item on it, ensuring that everyone sitting below can see it.

This is a piece of porcelain, very old, with a reserve price of one million, and each bidding price cannot be lower than one hundred thousand, and soon someone started bidding.

"One million and one hundred thousand!"

"One million and two hundred thousand!"

"······"

Shen Mingzhu was not interested in these porcelains. There were many pieces of porcelain in the collection room of the Shen family, and the various varieties covered almost every dynasty, so Shen Mingzhu had no desire to bid for the porcelains.

The items for auction are divided into many categories, among which antique porcelain, calligraphy and paintings are indispensable and account for the largest proportion, as well as some rare books and some old medicinal materials.

Long illness makes one a doctor. In her previous life, Shen Mingzhu had lived in a hospital ward since she was born. Before she learned to eat, she had already drunk hundreds of bowls of medicine.

So when a few rare medicinal herbs appeared, Shen Mingzhu's eyes became more serious, especially the medicinal herb being auctioned this time, which was a ginseng that was said to be more than 500 years old.

From the picture, we can see that its body is as thick as a wrist and almost has a human shape, not to mention the several roots under its body, which are more than one meter long.

Shen Mingzhu fell in love with it almost at first sight. Ginseng is a good thing. Even if you don't need it now, aging, sickness, and death are normal in life, and there will always be a time when you need it in the future.

Especially since this is a ginseng that is more than 500 years old, it is a medicinal herb that can be used to save lives. Shen Mingzhu is very serious about cherishing life, so she decided to take a picture of this ginseng right away.

The starting price of this ginseng is not low, with a reserve price of 20 million, and each bid must not be less than 2 million.

Just as Shen Mingzhu was looking at the ginseng in deep thought, someone had already bid up to fifty or two million.

It can be seen that when it comes to matters concerning life and health, everyone cares.
