Old Master Qin immediately felt a surge of hope. "Mayor Lin, the Old Bi Shui Yun Tian project is one of our Qingcheng’s projects, so naturally, it would be best for a Qingcheng enterprise to take it over. Currently, our Qin family is experiencing some financial difficulties. Could you possibly lend us a hand?"
Mayor Lin offered a restrained smile. "This morning, I heard the Qin family is famously wealthy, so I came over specifically to see for myself. No sooner have I arrived than you’re asking me for money and support. Master Qin, you might not be aware of our city’s difficulties; we’re the ones who truly need support! I hear you entrepreneurs toss around billions without a second thought. It’s said that up in Beicheng, a single piece of artwork was bought for over sixty million. Now, when you tell me you have no money, Old Master, I don’t believe a word of it."
Mayor Lin acted courteously and was exceedingly considerate, leaving the Qin family unable to voice their grievances.
To continue complaining would only lead to further disgrace!
At that moment, Qin Han suddenly remembered that Ke Ru was also present. Perhaps she would be willing to help him out. Last night, they had a good conversation, and she also seemed to be having a change of heart.
Hence, Qin Han, setting aside his pride, walked over and bent down to speak to her, "Ke Ru, you see I’m in a tight spot financially. Could you help me out? Once I overcome this difficulty, I’ll pay you back double."
Wang Keru tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled faintly. "I don’t work; An Xi supports me completely. Besides, if I had that kind of money, Bi Shui Yun Tian wouldn’t be up for auction here."
Qin Han had another flash of inspiration. "How about we call off the auction? It would be better if it stayed with the Gu family. After all, it’s our own asset; it wouldn’t be good to let outsiders get it, right, Ke Ru?"
Wang Keru looked surprised. "Wasn’t it you who suggested I auction it in the first place? You said it would be easier to get rid of this unfinished project that way. I’ve been following your advice! Besides, do you think it’s up to me to stop the auction now? We’ve come this far; it’s no longer my decision."
Qin Han’s lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
The air thickened. The atmosphere grew delicate. The plot had reversed.
The countdown was on...
But the Qin family was helpless.
The bidding for Bi Shui Yun Tian faltered, and the property was about to go unsold... It was naturally assumed that An Pu, the company with the second-highest bid, would acquire it.
However, Zhou Yunchen said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I suddenly feel the price is a bit inflated. I withdraw."
The entire hall was in an uproar. Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Of course, Zhou Yunchen wasn’t a fool, and neither was Gu Anxi. That sum of over eight hundred million was destined for Yongli Bank; the Gu family wouldn’t see a penny of it. With the auction failing, the debts and responsibility fell back onto the Gu family.
The bank was now facing a major headache; this was a hot potato.
Meanwhile, the Qin family felt like vomiting blood. The prize that had been within their grasp had slipped away, and their rivals were now metaphorically spitting it out for them to see.
At this moment, their only hope was to somehow secure funds for the next auction.
Then, Gu Anxi stood up. "The Gu family will pay off all its debts, and Bi Shui Yun Tian will once again belong to the Gu family."
The auctioneer was dumbstruck. Is this even allowed?
Mayor Lin stepped forward, raising his hands slightly before letting them fall to address the room. "I know everyone has worked hard for this auction. It’s not good for such a large project to remain stagnant. Since the Gu family is willing to personally resolve this situation, I believe it’s the best outcome. I’ve already smoothed things over with Yongli Bank. Miss Gu just needs to pay the two hundred and thirty million owed to Yongli, and this matter will be settled."
The Qin family’s hopes surged. Bi Shui Yun Tian returning to the Gu family was good news! Two women, especially Wang Keru, were so easy to manipulate. And Bi Shui Yun Tian was registered in Wang Keru’s name!
Gu Anxi smiled. "I thank everyone for coming here today and witnessing the Gu family’s rise from bankruptcy. Next, Citibank will issue a cashier’s check for two hundred and thirty million to Yongli Bank."
