"Uncle, if you really have the company's best interests at heart, you should give this cooperation project to me instead of talking about the company's interests at this moment."
Lu Luochen's attitude was extremely firm. He wasn't going to be swayed by a few words from Chen Yuanshan.
Chen Yuanshan was taken aback by his attitude. After a brief moment of stupefaction, he immediately raised the sign in his hand.
Although the current price had far exceeded their initial budget, in order to prove a point, Chen Yuanshan didn't care about anything else.
"Thirty million!"
Chen Yuanshan shouted boldly, which made the people around him clap their hands.
However, most of these applause were full of irony. After all, everyone knew that the land wasn't worth that price.
For a businessman, acting on emotions was the biggest taboo. People looked at Chen Yuanshan as if he were a clown.
How could Chen Yuanshan not be aware of this? But he had already made up his mind. When Lu Luochen bid again, he would just sit still.
He just wanted to drive the price up so that Lu Luochen would have to pay a high price.
It seemed that they had thought alike. This was one of the rare moments of understanding between them as relatives.
While Chen Yuanshan was still waiting patiently for the person next to him to bid, the host on the stage was already about to drop the hammer.
"Thirty million for the first time!"
The powerful voice of the host finally woke Chen Yuanshan up.
Chen Yuanshan was stunned for a moment. He immediately turned to look at Lu Luochen. Seeing the man's half - smiling expression, he finally came to his senses.
"What are you doing? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Chen Yuanshan nervously looked at the host on the stage. Helplessly, he looked around. No one was going to bid anymore.
That meant he had to pay that money.
"Luochen, I'm your uncle. You can't harm me like this."
Chen Yuanshan took a big step forward and tightly grabbed Lu Luochen's collar.
"How is this harming you? Weren't you just asking me to consider the company's interests? I'm doing exactly that, Uncle. I'm being obedient for once. Don't push it."
Just as Lu Luochen finished speaking, the host on the stage dropped the hammer for the last time, which meant the deal was done. The land had indeed fallen into Chen Yuanshan's hands, but he also had to pay the thirty million.
"Luochen, you can't leave. I can't be the only one to pay this money."
Chen Yuanshan calculated carefully. The funds allocated by Mrs. Qin were not enough to buy this land. That meant he had to take money out of his own account for this deal. Who would be willing to do such a thing?
Lu Luochen didn't even bother to respond. He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and casually pushed Chen Yuanshan away.
"Uncle, stop causing trouble. Mrs. Qin has allocated funds. And we've already agreed that we'll use the funds from the client for this project. Don't expect a single cent from the company's finances."
After saying that, Lu Luochen gave him a faint smile and then turned around to leave.
"Lu Luochen, Lu Luochen! I'm your uncle!"
Chen Yuanshan had never been so embarrassed before. If he couldn't come up with the money, he would be laughed at.
But he didn't know that people had already seen this joke.
Chen Yuanshan had no other choice. He didn't dare to ask Mrs. Qin for money at this moment. If Mrs. Qin knew that he had bought this land at such a high price, the cooperation might fall through.
Helplessly, he had to go back home.
"Dad, are you out of your mind? You want to sell my luxury items? Do you know how much this bag cost me? It's a limited - edition item. Once you sell it, it's gone."
Chen Shanshan was determined to protect her bags. She rushed over and hid all her things.
"Daughter, it's such a critical moment. How can you still care about these things? Wait. Once Dad secures this cooperation, you can have any bag you want in the future. So just lend them to me for now, okay?"
Chen Yuanshan's tone was gentle, but when he reached out to grab the bags, he didn't hesitate at all.
If he wasn't afraid of damaging the appearance of the bags, he might have used more brutal means to get them.
Anyway, he finally sold those bags and got some money. Together with a part of his savings and the cooperation funds from Mrs. Qin, he managed to scrape together the thirty million.
Seeing that he finally got the land, Chen Yuanshan was extremely happy.
On the other hand, Lu Luochen immediately went to find Wen Sining.
After Wen Sining got off work, she had been staying at home. Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, her mind was in a mess.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Luochen entered the password on his own and walked in directly. Seeing Wen Sining sitting alone on the sofa in the dark, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
So he quickly walked over and hugged her tightly. The warm embrace managed to soothe Wen Sining's mood a little.
"How did you get in?"
Wen Sining looked at the door, thinking that she had forgotten to lock it.
Lu Luochen smiled. "I was worried about you. What are you thinking about all alone, wife? Since you've already agreed to my proposal, how about I move in and live with you?"
As he said this, he nuzzled into Wen Sining's neck, looking like a big, cute dog asking for affection.
Wen Sining couldn't stand this ticklish attack and kept dodging into the corner.
"I've just agreed to your proposal. We're not married yet. Whether we can get married is still uncertain..." Before Wen Sining could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by someone.
She felt a warm touch on her lips, and then came a passionate kiss.
In the darkness, all the senses were more sensitive than usual. Wen Sining was forced to lie down and feel the other person's burning passion.
"Ah..."
Before they got completely carried away, Wen Sining pushed the person away.
"What are you doing?"
Even in the dark, Wen Sining could feel how hot her face was.
"Of course, I'm punishing you."
Lu Luochen didn't care at all and gave Wen Sining's lips another kiss.
