"Brother Ze, there's a bidding conference this weekend." Su Rou sorted out Su Yuze's schedule. She was quite interested in this bidding conference. "What's this bidding conference for?"
"For projects, construction works, land... a lot of things. It's a way of trading that allows people to compete." Su Yuze explained. "Do you want to go with me?"
"Okay." Su Rou nodded. Then, as if thinking of something, she asked, "We don't need to wear evening gowns this time, do we?"
"No, we don't." Su Yuze shook his head. Although it was a formal occasion, it wasn't as restrictive as a banquet.
This made Su Rou feel much more relieved. She really didn't like the feeling of putting on makeup and wearing an evening gown. It took two or three hours of hassle, and she couldn't even eat much because the corset was too tight! Su Rou just felt that she had really endured a lot when attending Jiang Shuren's banquet.
"However, Su Kaiming will also be at this bidding conference." Su Rou reminded him. Based on Su Kaiming's tactics in recent times, he would surely go head - to - head with Su Yuze at this bidding conference.
Su Yuze slightly squinted his eyes. "Yes, I know."
"Then I'll go out and get back to work first."
"Kiss me before you go." Su Yuze playfully grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her go.
Su Rou wrinkled her nose and gave him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek. He was the CEO, after all. Instead of restraining their office romance, he was getting even bolder.
Seeing her obvious look of disgust, Su Yuze couldn't help but find it funny. Well, he'd better be more restrained. There would be plenty of opportunities at home anyway.
After the office door was closed, Su Yuze was silent for a while and then made a phone call. "Yufeng, it's me."
"Yo, Young Master Yu, what's up?" Yufeng's voice was clearly full of cheer.
"Help me check something." Su Yuze said.
"Sure, go ahead."
"The surveillance cameras at the Su Group."
Yufeng pondered for a while. "Do you mean for me to hack into the Su Group?" Yufeng's specialty was electronic technology, and computers were his forte. "Okay, no problem!"
Su Yuze grunted. "Do it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Yufeng didn't know much about the Su family's affairs, but since Su Yuze was taking action, it must mean that someone had really provoked him, right?
...
On the weekend, Su Rou simply wore casual short - sleeved shirts and three - quarter pants and went out with Su Yuze. However, since the two of them had lingered in bed for a while in the morning, they were actually twenty minutes late when they arrived at the bidding venue.
But the bidding wouldn't be postponed just because of Su Yuze's lateness. When they walked in, Su Rou heard a deep male voice say, "Six million."
The host on the stage was holding a small hammer and smiling as he shouted, "Six million! Six million!"
"Six and a half million." This time it was a female voice, sounding quite imposing.
Su Yuze found their seats and sat down with Su Rou. Su Rou was quite curious about this venue. She looked around, feeling that everyone here was a tycoon.
"Ten million."
When this figure was announced, most of the people immediately looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw Su Kaiming sitting on the left - hand side, their expressions changed. It was the Su Group! When the Su Group came to bid, they had to show some respect. Moreover, they had already offered such a high price. Didn't they just hope that others would stop competing?
The people in the venue suddenly fell silent. Su Rou scratched the palm of Su Yuze's hand. "Brother Ze, it's Su Kaiming."
"Yeah." Su Yuze held her fidgety hand and whispered, "Just watch."
The host also seemed a bit shocked by the ten - million bid. After being stunned for a moment, he continued with the hosting. "Very well, the Su Group has bid ten million. Is there anyone who can offer more?"
Who would dare to compete with the Su Group?
"Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million..."
Just as the host was about to say the last sentence, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone raising a sign under the stage. "Ten million and five hundred thousand..."
The host immediately smiled even more brightly. "Shengshi has bid ten million and five hundred thousand!"
The people present couldn't help but turn their heads again and look in Su Yuze's direction. Sure enough... the only company that could rival the Su Group was Shengshi. But... weren't they from the same family? Why were they competing for a piece of land?
Su Kaiming frowned and looked in Su Yuze's direction. Yuze was indeed going to compete with him. "Eleven million."
"Eleven million!"
"Eleven and a half million."
"Good, eleven..."
"Twelve million!" Su Kaiming gave Su Yuze a cold look. He was really going head - to - head with him, wasn't he!
Su Yuze smiled back at him. "Raise the bid."
"Okay, Shengshi has raised the bid again! Twelve million and five hundred thousand!"
The people present were watching the two bidders with a sense of amusement. Although this piece of land was indeed a good location, spending so much money...
Su Kaiming was getting a bit impatient. He knew the financial situation of Shengshi. If they really wanted this piece of land, the two companies could continue to compete.
But... Su Kaiming wasn't sure whether Su Yuze really wanted this piece of land or was just playing around with him.
"Thirteen million."
"Good, the Su Group has bid..." The open confrontation between the two big companies was really exciting to watch!
Su Yuze held the sign in his hand. Propping his chin with one hand, he slowly raised the sign with the other and said, "I won't beat around the bush. Fifteen million."
Fifteen million. This was probably the highest bid in the venue. Su Yuze noticed that Su Rou was calculating something on the calculator of her phone. He couldn't help but laugh and patted her head. "What are you calculating?"
"I'm calculating how much money is left in your bank account."
"..." This little girl. Was she afraid that he would go bankrupt?
Su Kaiming hesitated. Yuze seemed to really want this piece of land. It was indeed a good plot. If he just gave it up to Su Yuze, he wouldn't feel balanced. Su Kaiming gritted his teeth. "Twenty million."
Whoa—
Was the Su Group crazy?
The host was also a bit stunned for a moment and then looked in Su Yuze's direction. Su Yuze made a helpless gesture and then slowly shook his head. So the host banged the hammer and announced, "Sold for twenty million. The land in the Shaodong area belongs to the Su Group!"
Everyone in the venue stood up and applauded for Su Kaiming. Even Su Yuze clapped his hands lightly.
But Su Kaiming didn't look as relaxed as he seemed. After all, the cost was quite high. Twenty million was no joke!
Su Kaiming's eyes involuntarily drifted towards Su Yuze. He saw him holding Su Rou's hand and about to leave the venue.
