Chapter 118: Called Him Fat and He Started to Pant

On Saturday, at the land auction.

East Sea Real Estate Company had just been established. Logically speaking, they were not qualified to participate in the bidding of land from a government organization. However, Bai Zhou had many connections and obtained such a precious spot for the company.

Jian Ai knew that with her current abilities, be it connections or money, she could not let the company grow quickly in a short time. However, Bai Zhou’s capabilities were unfathomable. Often, he completed the things that Jian Ai handed to him beyond her expectations.

At this moment, East Sea Real Estate had already started to take shape. Bai Zhou had transferred all the management personnel for the important positions over from the capital. The employees had also been recruited, and they were all according to Jian Ai’s standards.

Jian Ai was wearing a casual outfit today, which was relatively more formal among the pile of clothes that Bai Zhou had bought for her. After all, it was inevitable that she would look awkward in a suit and leather shoes at her age.

She hailed a cab and arrived outside the venue. Bai Zhou was already waiting there.

“Boss.” When Bai Zhou saw Jian Ai, he immediately changed the way he addressed her.

Jian Ai looked up at the City Hall in front of her and was somewhat surprised that the bidding location was directly within the government’s land boundary.

“We’re not late, right?” Jian Ai asked.

“No, but it’s going to start soon. Let’s go in,” Bai Zhou said and led the way. Jian Ai tidied her clothes and quickly followed.

Because the auction hall was in the City Hall, there were no extra decorations for this land auction. There was only a simple banner, and because it was not a bidding meeting, there was no alcohol prepared.

However, this was also good. Although the people who were there to bid for land were all from various real estate companies, they were not here to socialize or drink. Instead, they had clearer goals.

A staff member outside the hall checked the invitation letter. When he saw Bai Zhou, he said expressionlessly, “Please show me the invitation letter.”

Bai Zhou took out a silver-white card from his pocket and handed it over. “It’s for East Sea Real Estate, a subsidiary of M Group.”

The person took the invitation and quickly glanced at the invitation list. Seeing that it was indeed on the invitation list, he gave Bai Zhou a number. “You are number thirteen. Please come in.”

Jian Ai, who was following behind Bai Zhou, couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “I haven’t had the chance to ask you how you got an invitation to such an important auction.”

When Bai Zhou heard this, he smiled mysteriously. “Such a small matter is not worth mentioning.”

Jian Ai rolled her eyes in her heart. He was panting when she said he was fat. However, she had to reevaluate Bai Zhou’s ability in her heart.

When they first met, Bai Zhou made himself sound completely useless. His only merit was that he was rich. However, that was not the case. Bai Zhou had a lot of skills.

The hall was relatively spacious and simple tables and chairs were arranged. There was a podium and a big screen in front. At this moment, a lot of people were already sitting in the hall. Everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they looked successful.

Many of them were familiar with one another, and those who were able to participate in a land auction of this level were all big companies in the real estate industry in Baiyun City. Some of them were business partners, but most of them had competing relationships.

Bai Zhou’s silver-white hair was already eye-catching. Now, there was a fourteen-year-old girl behind him. The moment the two of them entered the venue, they instantly attracted many people’s attention.

Jian Ai immediately pointed at the corner of the last row. Seeing this, Bai Zhou nodded. The two of them lowered their heads and quickly walked over to sit down.
