Chapter 46: Land Auction

  The next day, Mu You really saw the extra string of zeros on her account and couldn't help but click her tongue. At the same time, she also asked Ye Sen to help her mail the contract she had already signed to a foreign country. At this moment, she suddenly became curious, if Ye Feng knew that she had secretly sold some of his shares, what would happen?

  Now that the money is in hand, Mu You's plans can be implemented one by one.

  "Uncle Zhuo, tomorrow... accompany me to a land auction." Mu You had just finished sparring with Zhuo Fan and was lying on the mat in the martial arts hall, panting slightly.

  "Miss, just say what's on your mind, I'm here to accompany you at any time." Compared to Mu You, Zhuo Fan was much better, his face was slightly flushed, but he knew in his heart that Mu You's progress was really rapid. From the beginning when it didn't take much effort, to now when it took some effort to deal with him, this was only two months, although not as fast as those two freaks Mu He and Mu Han, it was still a very impressive achievement!

  "Land auction? What are you up to now, you little scamp? You two siblings, not one of you is giving me a peaceful life!" Night Forest's voice suddenly burst in, breaking the quiet atmosphere between the two.

  Compared with this, Mu You was more concerned about the meaning of the second half of the sentence, "Two siblings? What's wrong with Xiao Han?"

  Ye Sen snorted, "This kid has been slacking off during training recently. Every now and then, he would go out to make a phone call. One time I was curious and went to listen in, but all they were saying was gibberish!"

  "Cough..." Mu Yu had just gotten up from the ground when Ye Sen's words made him choke, and his doubts grew. Bird language? Probably English? But Xiao Han, when did he make foreign friends?

  She secretly remembered this matter, and Mu You comforted Yoru no Mori, who was blowing his beard and staring with a fierce expression: "Anyway, Xiaohan's progress is there, it's okay to be lazy occasionally."

  "You...!" Ye Sen's face turned gloomy, his eyes widening even more. Although he had to admit that Mu Han's progress was indeed impressive, couldn't this girl just say something nice to comfort him? Not a single endearing word! Hmph, now Grandpa has forgotten about Master!

  How could Muyou know that the old man in front of her was actually eating vinegar? Her thoughts were now all focused on tomorrow's land auction, and one question made her headache: what name should she use to bid?

  Yeshan's? No way! Everyone knows Yeshan is a big shot in the underworld, if you say that, there will definitely be many people paying attention to yourself, and your low-key style will be completely compromised!

  What if Mu Cheng finds out? That's even more impossible! Mu Cheng is a well-known figure in City A, and if he really uses his influence, it's estimated that within an hour, he'll know that someone has bought the land, and what he least wants to see is Mu Cheng knowing his secret!

  "Is Miss troubled by tomorrow's land auction?" Zhōo Fān couldn't help but speculate seeing Mù Yōu's worried expression.

  "Yes! I don't know on what grounds to participate in this bidding." Mu You said honestly, now she really had no way out and needed someone to help her come up with an idea.

  Yangfan Company

  "Ah?" Mu You was momentarily stunned, looking at Zhuo Fan with some confusion.

  Zhuo Fan's loving smile, as if treating her own daughter, "Yang Fan Company is my enterprise on the right path, although not big, but fortunately it has existed for a long time, most people know about it. Miss, you can use this name to compete tomorrow."

  Moyou was shocked again in the intangible, is this the underworld? Although it claims to be the underworld, there are still white forces balancing in secret, Zhuo Fan is just one of them. So, if all the hidden forces in the underworld were listed out, what a magnificent sight would that be?

  At this thought, Mu You's heart secretly trembled with surprise.

  "Miss, today there are five plots of land up for auction, plus some small office buildings. There are 11 bidders participating, most of whom are eyeing the plot on Huaiyang Street. The most competitive bidder is Ai De Enterprise, which has almost monopolized the land market."

  From the moment Mu Yu met Zhuo Fan, Zhuo Fan's introduction had not stopped. The detailed information made Mu Yu surprised again. From last night to this morning, it was just one night, but Zhuo Fan could prepare so well. It has to be said that she became more curious about some things in the underworld. After being busy for a while, she must go and experience it for herself.

  "If I were to go for the land in Mei Liu Lane, Uncle Zhuo, what do you think my chances of winning would be?" Mu You asked Zhuo Fan with some trepidation after digesting all the information he had provided.

  "Miss, do you want that piece of land?" Zhuo Fan frowned slightly in disapproval, his tone becoming serious. "It's not that I look down on that piece of land, but even developers wouldn't be interested. In a remote place like Mei Liu Alley, even if the government develops it in the future, it'll be many years from now."

  After hearing Zhuo Fan's answer, Mu You felt relieved instead, she just wanted others to look down on her.

  Only she knew that in two years, Mei Liu Xiang would be even more prosperous because the country's successful Olympic bid made green living even more important. Although Mei Liu Xiang was desolate at present, it later developed far beyond people's imagination under the nation's strong promotion.

  The auction was held on the third floor of the China Trade Building in the city center. As soon as Mu Yu entered, she was subjected to a baptism by fire from the numerous gazes, and everyone was discussing her identity, guessing whether she was the young lady of some wealthy family.

  Moyou gazed as if unseen, simply finding a random spot in the corner to sit down, Zhuofan closely followed behind.

  "Uncle Zhuo, didn't you say your company has been around for a long time? How come nobody recognizes you?" Mu You suddenly thought of this question when she saw everyone's gaze.

  Zhuo Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "This company is mine, but that doesn't mean I need to show up everywhere. For over twenty years, the number of people who have actually seen me, this boss, can be counted on one hand."

  With just a few minutes before the bidding began, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere that had been harmonious just moments before suddenly became tense. Zhuo Fan's eyebrows furrowed.

  "What's wrong?" Mu You noticed Zhuo Fan's expression and asked inquiringly.

  "Today, the largest bidder has yet to appear."

  As soon as the words fell, the big door on the third floor was pushed open again. At the same time, Mu You also saw a person she hadn't seen for a long time. The man's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on her body, taking a surprise, but with more nostalgia.

  "How did he end up here?" Mu You looked at that person and muttered a sentence before falling silent.
