After the ginseng incident, everyone realized that Shen Mingzhu had no mercy for the Yan family at all. Just now, Yan Songzhe even brought up the old man, but Shen Mingzhu did not agree and instead brought up Huo Yancheng as a cover.
As soon as she took the photo of the ginseng, she said in front of Yan Songzhe, without changing her expression and without lowering her voice, that she would give half to Huo Yancheng.
Who is this going to piss off to death?
Everyone looked at Yan Songzhe's increasingly unhappy expression and felt worried for Shen Mingzhu.
I thought to myself that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was really brave. Wasn't she afraid of offending the Yan family and bringing unnecessary trouble?
Of course, Shen Mingzhu was not afraid. If the Yan family took action against the Shen family just because she did not give up the ginseng, it would be an exaggeration.
Although ginseng is rare, it is not necessary to have it. If the Yan family attacks the Shen family because they failed to bid for this ginseng, Shen Mingzhu would suspect that the Yan family had this idea in mind and was just taking advantage of the situation.
Now Shen Mingzhu knew that Huo Yancheng was behind the Shen family to help her stabilize the situation. Of course, she also knew that Huo Yancheng would not give her face at this time, so she said those words just now to shut Yan Songzhe's mouth.
If Yan Songzhe had given up when he first saw Shen Mingzhu bidding against him, nothing would have happened later.
But the real reason why Yan Songzhe looked unhappy was not this ginseng. Just as Shen Mingzhu said, he had already bid for two kinds of medicinal herbs before, which were comparable to ginseng in terms of efficacy. There was no need to bid for this ginseng.
But for some reason, Yan Songzhe also wanted to bid for the ginseng, but he did not expect that he would compete with Shen Mingzhu this time.
What made Yan Songzhe feel bad was Shen Mingzhu's attitude of not giving up on ginseng. Since she was unwilling to give up even ginseng, she would compete with the Yan family for the land on the outskirts of the city.
This is also the reason why Yan Songzhe gave up the competition for ginseng. Everything must be given up for a piece of land on the outskirts of the city. No matter what, he must buy that piece of land today, no matter the cost!
If Shen Mingzhu knew what Yan Songzhe was thinking, she would probably tell him not to bother with any more trouble because she would never give up that piece of land.
Soon, it was time for the final part, which was the piece of land on the outskirts of the city.
The reserve price is 100 million, and each bid must not be less than 10 million.
Perhaps they knew that the three major families were all here and that other families would not have a chance to bid for this piece of land, so no one raised a sign to bid.
Shen Mingzhu tilted her head to look at Huo Yancheng and saw that he had not raised a sign once since he came here. She didn't know why he came to participate in this auction, but as long as he didn't compete with her for this piece of land, she certainly wouldn't care what he was thinking.
"One hundred and ten million!"
At this moment, Yan Songzhe had already raised his sign and started bidding.
Shen Mingzhu was speechless. After all, the Yan family was one of the three major families. Why were they so stingy when bidding?
Shen Mingzhu held up a sign: "One billion!"
She knew that the original person in the book spent 2 billion to buy this piece of land, so she wanted to make a quick decision and didn't want to waste time here. She didn't want to stay with a hypocritical person like Yan Songzhe any longer.
Yes, hypocrisy.
This brief contact made Shen Mingzhu feel a little disliked Yan Songzhe from the very beginning. Now she even felt that Yan Songzhe was a bit hypocritical, saying one thing in his heart and another in his words.
If it were in her previous life, Shen Mingzhu would not have said a single word to such a person.
But there was no other way. She was the only one who could say such things here. After all, Butler Wu was only the butler of the Shen family. If he were to send Yan Songzhe away, Yan Songzhe might not stop.
Then she could only do it by herself. Fortunately, her golden thigh was on her side, which saved her some trouble.
Shen Mingzhu's offer shocked everyone present; even Huo Yancheng looked at her a few times.
Not to mention Yan Songzhe; his face wasn't ugly, but rather a little pale.
No one expected that Shen Mingzhu would get 1 billion right at the start. How could others play?
Everyone's attention turned to Yan Songzhe. After all, seeing that Huo Yancheng would not bid for the land on the outskirts of the city, only Shen Mingzhu and Yan Songzhe were left. Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was going to bid 1 billion yuan at once, the final result was probably uncertain.
Yan Songzhe's heart sank when he heard Shen Mingzhu's offer. Although he had known for a long time that Shen Mingzhu was determined to get this piece of land, he did not expect that she would make such an arrogant offer without any concealment.
It's as if he doesn't take other people seriously at all.
If Shen Mingzhu knew what he was thinking, she would feel wronged. She just took Yan Songzhe too seriously, so she offered 1 billion. Otherwise, she would have directly offered 2 billion. How could his Yan family have anything to do with it?
Shen Mingzhu waited for a while, and when she saw Yan Songzhe did not respond, she turned her head to look at him. As she did so, she met Yan Songzhe's eyes. His eyes were heavy, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, but it seemed as if there was a flash of haze in his eyes.
When she looked again, Yan Songzhe had put on a gentle expression, and there was a hint of a smile on his face when he looked at her.
Shen Mingzhu thought to herself that she was worthy of being the heir of the Yan family. Her endurance was beyond the reach of others.
If someone humiliated her like this, don't even joke, she would be lenient if she didn't smash the other person's head.
Shen Mingzhu gave a fake smile in return: "Mr. Yan, please make an offer."
Perhaps because he couldn't figure out Shen Mingzhu's approach, Yan Songzhe finally didn't make any offer this time.
Yan Songzhe raised the number plate in his hand: "1.5 billion!"
The smile on Shen Mingzhu's face became more genuine. This was right. If it was based on Yan Songzhe's previous offer, how long would it take for the deal to end?
She was still waiting to go back and catch up on her sleep.
Shen Mingzhu leaned back in her chair and gently shook the number plate in her hand. She could even hear a bit of indifference and casualness in her tone: "Two billion!"
"Wow!"
The people sitting in the back were in an uproar! Everyone was shocked.
That's 2 billion, but Shen Mingzhu just said it lightly, as if it was not 2 billion, but 200 yuan.
Yan Songzhe suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu noticed his movements from the corner of her eye and turned her head to look over. Then she gently curled the corners of her lips and said in a very good-natured manner, "Master Yan, do you still want to quote?"
Yan Songzhe almost couldn't maintain the gentleness on his face. He clenched his teeth tightly, and his heart sank to the bottom.
How did Shen Mingzhu know that he had prepared 2 billion to bid for this piece of land?
The Yan family had put aside 2 billion yuan in funds specifically for the turnover of this piece of land. They thought they had some confidence even against Huo Yancheng, but they didn't expect to run into Shen Mingzhu, who didn't play by the rules.
If Shen Mingzhu had made her offer slowly at the beginning, Yan Songzhe would have had time to ask someone to prepare another sum of funds, but now time was running out, and he could no longer wait.
