Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Long Dan, with all the funds we can mobilize summed up, this is the amount we have. What do you plan to do next?"

With a thoughtful look, Kanako said, "We've given up on the horse head, and if we also fail to secure this courtyard house, I'm afraid you might face the president's questioning when we return."

"Shut up!"

At this moment, Long Dan's face was fierce; he knew all too well what he would face when he returned!

But what could he do? They only had so much money! Who would have thought that at this auction, someone would be throwing money around like water!

"Kanako, how much money do you have in your private account?"

Long Dan's gaze was deep as he looked towards Kanako.

"What do you want to do? Let's get one thing straight, that's my money, and you have no right to use it!"

Kanako spoke like a small cat whose territory had been invaded, teeth bared and claws out, "Are you really going to be so stubborn? Didn't you see that after giving up on the horse head, Yamano has already left the venue? Why won't you use your brain and think about why! Yamano gives you authority and you just take it, have you ever considered that it might be a hot potato?"

Upon hearing this, Long Dan's eyes opened wide in sudden realization. Yes! Whenever Yamano led a team, he never set a precedent of delegating authority. Why did he give it to me this time!

At first, he thought maybe Yamano was having a falling out with the president, but now, thinking carefully, Yamano, with his advanced age, was like a crafty old fox. How could he possibly let emotions affect his decisions so easily!

He had been calculated by Yamano!

Just like a hunter setting a trap, he only saw the enticing bait and forgot the potentially deadly abyss below!

"Kanako! Help me! I can borrow your money and give you a substantial interest!"

Long Dan looked at Kanako as if a drowning man had found his last straw!

"Sigh, I only have thirty billion at hand. Take it if you need it, but let me make it clear, once the price goes beyond thirty-eight billion, you have to back off!"

Kanako said seriously, "Use your brain and think, no matter how exquisite a courtyard house is, its price could not be that high. Why would the president approve a fund of thirty-five billion for you! If there's no trickery involved, I'll take your last name!"

"Also think about it, why are the people in the box raising the price of the courtyard house without any reservations? Has the president's secret scheme been leaked? Maybe among those who came with us this time, there's a traitor!"

Kanako's words widened Long Dan's train of thought by a lot. He had always thought Kanako was just a slightly clever woman, but today he realized that this woman's thoughts were even more meticulous than his own!

"Even so, I can't let those in the box have it easy!"

Long Dan clenched his fists. When Wu Rou called out "Thirty-five billion, for the second time!", he suddenly raised his bidding card and shouted, "Thirty-eight billion!"

Success or failure hinged on this single move!

"Holy shit!!! Are the Cherry Blossom folks crazy?"

Zhao Lu was astonished as he peered out of the floor-to-ceiling window and exclaimed, "Thirty-eight billion!!! That's almost forty percent over the market price!"

"Why are they so interested in this courtyard house?"

Song Yun slowly spoke after sipping his tea, "This doesn't quite fit with what they call investment principles."

"Who knows! It's just a courtyard house, not some historically significant treasure like the horse head. However expensive, it shouldn't reach this price!"

Zhao Lu said in a low voice, "Furthermore, the courtyard house will soon only be suitable for residence, and they will lose everything down to their underpants!"

"But don't you feel there's something off about it?"

Song Yun said with a furrowed brow, "We're talking about thirty-eight billion, not thirty-eight million, and definitely not three hundred and eighty bucks! Such an amount of money would make waves no matter where it's spent, but sinking it into a house is like throwing money into the water!"

"A competent investor should act like William, knowing when to stop and withdraw in time! Brother Zhao, do you think the people from Cherry Blossom country are fools?"

"Now that you mention it, there does seem to be something off!"

Zhao Lu drew in a breath of cold air and said, "But the other party has already made a bid, we can't refuse it, right?"

"Forget it, I'll make another move to probe."

Song Yun's bid quickly appeared on the big screen, 38.55 billion!

It was just an increase of 50 million!

But that mere 50 million, like a massive boulder pressing on Long Dan's chest, made it difficult for him to catch his breath!

"Let go, I'll help you get out of this with the federation."

Kanako sighed and said, "The person in the private room is toying with you; the opposite side definitely isn't just one person. You might be fighting against an entire community of interests!"

"Huh..."

Long Dan sighed, handed the bidding paddle to Kanako, and slowly said, "I'm going back to the hotel to rest."

38.55 billion!

It had already set a new record price for the siheyuan!

It also exceeded the psychological expectations of most people.

Aside from the few who knew that Old Master Ouyang was sitting in the private room, everyone else was curiously looking around.

As Wu Rou brought down the auction gavel, the ownership of the siheyuan had changed hands!

"Today's items have all been auctioned off! We warmly welcome everyone to the auction, and there will be a cocktail party in the reception room shortly. All of us at Jiahe staff will be awaiting your arrival!"

After Wu Rou uttered the last sentence, she realized that her blouse was soaked in sweat, and her throat had become very hoarse.

The most exciting moment had passed, and every part of her body was screaming discomfort.

She pushed herself to walk backstage, and as soon as she entered, she saw Zhao Lu smiling at her.

If there hadn't been outsiders present, Wu Rou would have thrown herself into Zhao Lu's arms and acted spoiled.

"Well done, tonight's commission alone is enough for you to buy a house in Forty-nine City in full."

Zhao Lu patted Wu Rou on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and said, "Go get some good rest tonight, I'll give you a few days off, and we'll go on a trip to unwind another day."

"Okay~"

Wu Rou forced a smile and then said goodbye to the other staff members before leaving.

"Tsk, tsk, 38.55 billion, it seems I underestimated him."

After Zhao Lu smacked his lips and finished reflecting, he turned around with a different expression and shouted to the staff, "Everyone involved in the auction tonight will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan!"

...

Most of the people had gone to the cocktail party, eighty percent of them came here for the cocktail party at the end—it was an excellent place for networking and expanding resources.

But Song Yun, the center of the controversy, quietly left Jiahe Auction House with a mask on.

The handover of the horse head and the siheyuan would be handled by a dedicated person who would find him tomorrow.

Once in the car, Song Yun took off his mask and exhaled a long breath of relief.

"Boss Song, you were truly awesome tonight!"

Driving Song Yun, Huang Baoding said with a laugh, "I heard so many people outside guessing your identity, all sorts of wild speculations."
