Lu Ming looked around as if he was looking for someone. Finally, his gaze rested on a corner. “I’ll go to the toilet first. Wait here for me.”
“Okay.”
Of course, Chu Jinyu knew that he was not going to the toilet, but she did not ask too much.
A bespectacled young man bowed at Lu Ming and said, “I’m the manager of the auction house. What can I do for you?”
“How much can Lu Yaohua’s land in the suburbs be sold for?”
“About 200 million yuan.”
200 million yuan?
Lu Ming curled the corners of his lips. “That’s too much. This piece of land is not easy to sell. After all, it is not in the city center and there are not many people in the suburbs. Don’t you think so?”
“Not easy to sell?”
Although this place was in the suburbs as Lu Ming had mentioned, it was close to a water source. The feng shui was very good and it was especially suitable for development. If anyone at the auction had gone to the site to take a look, they would definitely pay more than 200 million yuan to buy it!
Then why was it not easy to sell?
The manager immediately understood what he meant and said with a dark expression, “How about 100 million yuan?”
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you to inform the others about this.”
Lu Ming said confidently.
“Okay.”
With that, the manager left.
Lu Yaohua would never have thought that Lu Ming had specially arranged for someone on his side to swindle him at the auction house.
Lu Ming returned to his seat humming out of tune.
“Brother Lu Ming, have you finished setting your stage? Do you mind if I play a supporting role?”
Chu Jinyu smiled.
He made an OK sign with his hand. Chu Jinyu’s smile widened. In order to understand how Lu Ming had been these past few years, she specially got someone to investigate. It turned out that Lu Ming was abandoned by Lu Yaohua and his mother’s death was indirectly related to his wife’s oppression.
“What right does someone like Lu Yaohua have to live well?” she thought.
At the thought of this, she felt that Lu Ming was too pitiful. She would not let Lu Yaohua take advantage of him!
On the other side, Lu Yaohua, who had run backstage, was pleading on the phone, “Mr. Wang, don’t worry. After this auction is over, I’ll have the money to pay you back. I guarantee that I’ll give you the money first. This time, the conservative estimate is about 200 to 300 million yuan.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Rest assured. I, Lu Yaohua, have been in the industry for so long. Since when have I been rumored to be indebted to others? I’m not that kind of person! I had no choice but to borrow money this time. I’m at the auction now. It’s almost my turn.”
After he successfully persuaded the other party to extend the deadline for a while, he heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could rest for a few seconds, a call came through. Without looking up, he picked up the call and said impatiently, “Who is it?”
When he heard the voice on the other end, he instantly cowered.
“Aiya, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I thought it was a cold call selling products. I have no objections to you. Really, this is not a casual excuse. You have to believe me. Don’t we still have a partnership between us? After so many years, you know my personality.
Although my company has been incurring serious losses recently, but… don’t think too much. I’ll definitely repay you first when I get the money. Plus interest! When I sell this piece of land, the total price will be about 200 to 300 million yuan. Boss Zhang, believe me, I’ll transfer the money to you in half an hour.”
After hanging up, his phone rang again a few seconds later. He quickly said, “Chairman Liu, I’m sure you know where I am now, right? What is 30 million yuan compared to 300 million yuan? I definitely won’t default on this loan. Don’t worry. If I don’t pay you back this time and you force me to sell my villa, I won’t have any complaints!
It’s true. What I said is true. You’ll definitely receive the money in your bank account in half an hour-not a cent less. Please don’t get the debt collector to show up at my house. My wife is timid… Yes, yes, yes, we’ve been friends for so many years.”
He flattered him a bit more before hanging up.
Lu Yaohua looked at the list of numbers. They were all here to urge him to pay his debts. Why did it seem like they had agreed to call at the same time?
They were afraid that he would not return the money. “Am I, Lu Yaohua, such a person?!” he thought.
At the thought that there would be money coming in later, he became resolute. This money would be enough to keep his company.
The next second, the lounge door was pushed open.
“Mr. Lu, our team has checked it out on the spot. The land there is remote and the feng shui is not good. So if we set the starting price at 200 million yuan, perhaps no one will buy it.”
The manager’s words shocked Lu Yaohua. He said hastily, “Didn’t you guys say that that place has great potential? Why did the price suddenly drop by 100 million yuan?”
“Previously, the team heard your description but did not see that piece of land with their own eyes. Therefore, it was normal to make an error in estimation. If you insist on selling at 200 million yuan, you can’t blame our auction house if no one buys it.”
The manager paused for a moment before continuing, “Our recommendations are to start from 100 million yuan. We might be able to sell it at this price. If it’s 200 million yuan, no fool would be willing to fork out this money. You’d better think carefully. Do you want to lower it or not?”
How could Lu Yaohua accept the straight loss of 100 million yuan?!
After he repaid the money, there would not be much left for the company.
But if he did not lower the price, no one would be willing to buy it.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled what Master Liu had said previously.
This piece of land would only bring about disaster. If he did not make a move soon, things would only worsen. Could it be that the sudden calls for debt repayment and the last-minute drop in price was all because of this piece of land?
Unresigned, he asked, “Is no one really buying at 200 million yuan?”
“Yes, even 100 million yuan is a little difficult. If you don’t make a decision soon, after those people finish their investigation, I’m afraid the amount they will pay will be lower than 100 million yuan.”
The manager said firmly.
In other words, if he did not make a decision quickly, the price would be lowered again. Lu Yaohua did not have time to think too much and said quickly, “Sell! I’ll sell it for 100 million yuan! I hope to get the cash as soon as possible. Can you do that?”
“No problem!”
Zhongjia Auction Company was considered a big company among its peers. It would be easy to get cash.

As time passed, piece after piece of land was purchased by the customers.
Lu Ming yawned in boredom. He did not know how long he had been sitting there. When would it be Lu Yaohua’s turn?
Suddenly, he felt someone poke his arm. He looked up and saw Chu Jinyu’s eyes light up. She said in a barely audible voice, “Lu Yaohua is back.”
Lu Ming sat up straight.
This also meant that they had almost come to that piece of land!
