Hong Yuan had long disliked Qin Hai. This time, Qin Sheng had caused Qin Hong to fall flat on his face when he plotted against Shenghua Real Estate. He felt very happy.

He had thought that this matter would pass just like that. Unexpectedly, Qin Sheng had started to deal with Qin Hai again.

Hong Yuan hurriedly agreed. “Okay, I’ll do it later.”

After saying that, Hong Yuan asked very carefully, “Boss, is there anything wrong with the land at Red Lake?”

Qin Sheng glanced at Hong Yuan and smiled. “In three months, H City will build a dock there.”

If Qin Hai bought that area, he would definitely think of building houses there.

She was afraid that the land would be taken back by H City when the houses were halfway built. Even if Qin Hai was lucky, and the land was kept for Qin Hai…

The dock was noisy. No one was willing to buy the houses there even if they were built.

Thus, Qin Hai had no choice but to stop the construction of the houses.

Perhaps Qin Hai would get a part of the compensation, but the compensation was far less than the time and financial resources that Qin Hai would spend on the land.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan secretly broke into a sweat for Qin Hai.

How could he offend his boss?

Hong Yuan did as Qin Sheng instructed.

Under Hong Yuan’s special arrangement, Qin Hai noticed the piece of land near Red Lake.

He asked his subordinates to investigate that piece of land. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was worth it. It was very cheap. It only cost about 60 million yuan, which was more than 100 million yuan less than the piece of land that he originally had his eyes on.

The funds in Qin Hai’s hands were enough now.

On the day of the auction, Qin Hai arrived at the venue early.

There were many representatives of companies nearby. Usually, they were from real estate companies. Of course, there were also some companies from other industries.

The auction had not started yet.

The representatives of those companies were talking. Qin Hai had wanted to join their conversation countless times, but only a few people would pay attention to him.

After the incident at Shenghua Real Estate, Qin Hai’s reputation was very bad. Plus, Qin Real Estate was far from enough in H City, so these companies didn’t want to continue their relationship with Qin Hai.

Qin Hai’s expression was very ugly. No one knew if he was angry or embarrassed.

“Chairman.” Li Yan was also very embarrassed.

Qin Hai gave a cold snort. “Don’t mind them.”

Those people did not treat him well, so he did not need to send his face up to them to be trampled on.

Qin Hai and Li Yan sat in the seats of the auction.

The representatives of those companies were all talking, and it was still early. Only a few people were sitting in their seats and playing with their phones.

Li Yan also looked at her phone for a while, then stood up.

When she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, her gaze paused and she was very surprised. “Qin Sheng?”

Qin Hai frowned. “It’s impossible for her to have the opportunity to come to such a place. You must have seen wrongly.”

Li Yan also frowned. “Did I get it wrong?”

Qin Hai followed Li Yan’s gaze and indeed, he saw Qin Sheng.

Why was she here?

Qin Hai’s gaze then fell on the man next to Qin Sheng. This man was Fu Hanchuan.

Qin Hai’s brows furrowed even tighter. Could it be that this man was the one who had been protecting Qin Sheng all this while and had given Qin Sheng the opportunity to enter the Luxury Hotel? Qin Hai’s location was near the corridor. Qin Sheng passed by Qin Hai, and since Qin Hai was standing, Qin Sheng naturally saw Qin Hai. She calmly averted her gaze, pretending that Qin Hai didn’t exist.

She walked past Qin Hai with Fu Hanchuan.
