Chapter 157 Dark Tide Surging (2/2)
Xia Wan hesitated. ”Do you want to cooperate with the Bai family?”
”No.” Xia Yongqiang's eyes flashed clean. ”We'll look into it later...”
The next day, A Miao ran to the office to ask Jiang Quanyu.
”Is the Xia family looking for you?” Jiang Quanyu closed the document. ”I should have told you in advance.”
A Miao did not care. ”What's the matter? I knew the result for a long time. Anyway, they can't do anything to me now.”
”The Xia family has no time to harass you now.” Jiang Quanyu pushed aside the chair. ”The Bai and Ji families are enough to anger him, but now, all three of them want to move Shen Xinglan, but no one dares to move first.”
Hearing the words ”Shen Xinglan”, A Miao began to become dazed. Jiang Quanyu came over and poked her in the forehead.
”What, is he looking for you again?”
”No...” A Miao concentrated. ”Do you mean that all three families want to consume the Shen family?”
Jiang Quanyu picked up his coat. ”Although I don't want to say this, the three of them are daydreaming. Let's go and eat!”
Originally, all of this had nothing to do with A Miao. As a result, two days later, the news suddenly said that the Shen family also took part in the bid for South City, and according to inside information, Shen Xinglan was poised to win.
”Do you know about this?” As soon as Jiang Quanyu came back that night, A Miao asked him.
Jiang Quanyu poured himself a glass of red wine. ”Yes, the Shen family has already handed in the bid.”
”He...” A Miao did not know what to say.
”You must be a reason for that,” Jiang Quanyu said on her behalf. ”But to the outside world, he must do this. Only in this way can Shen's power be demonstrated.”
A Miao smiled as she thought of something. ”Surely, the Xia family can't expect that?”
”Haha, I guess that the Ji Corp is the one who is most sullen.”
At the Ji family villa—
”Mom, I think Shen Xinglan is bluffing. Where did he get so much money?” Ji Yan cocked his leg and sat on the sofa. ”I don't believe he will really bid.”
Bai Yongwei was less optimistic than he was. ”Have you forgotten? He made the Ji Corp bigger in just three years. I believe he has this ability.”
”Mom, what do you mean?” Ji Yan did not like that. ”Now I am the boss of the Ji Corp!”
”What are you going to do?” Bai Yongwei frowned. ”Do you want to cooperate with the Bai family to take down this bid?”
Ji Yan listened to these words and continued to look worse. The Bai family had asked for a lot of benefits from his hands over the past few years. Bai Yongwei was always playing in the middle, making him not argue about it.
But how could he not care? They belonged to the Ji family. If Ji Zeming knew, he did not know what would happen...
”Don't mention working with grandma in the future.” Ji Yan was in a bad mood as he said, ”Cousin marrying cousin, how could you come out with it... You have to tie the two together just to be comfortable?”
Bai Yongwei glared at him. ”You child, isn't your mother doing it for your own good?”
”Mom, wake up!” Ji Yan hissed. ”The Bai family belongs to Bai Youran and it has nothing to do with me. My surname is Ji. We took so much trouble to take the Ji Corp down. I don't want to change its surname to Bai one day.”
When Ji Yan got up and walked upstairs, Bai Yongwei was angry with what he said, but she also knew it was true.
”What are you going to do about the bidding?”
Ji Yan motioned with his hand. ”Don't worry, let Shen Xinglan and Jiang Quanyu fight over it!”
At the end of the month, the bidding meeting was to be held as scheduled. After sending Jiang Quanyu away early in the morning, A Miao went to the company's warehouse to sort out the latest items, and she received a phone call shortly afterward.
”A Miao, would you please send me something?”
It turned out that Jiang Quanyu's assistant made a mistake and lost a very important document.
”Got it.” After hearing what he said, A Miao went to the office immediately. ”I'll print it out and send it to you.”
In order to avoid meeting with Shen Xinglan, A Miao handed the document to Jiang Quanyu and was ready to leave. Who knew that she would be stopped at the door?
”Sure enough, you haven't given up.” Lil Xi looked at her in disgust. ”You know that Shen is here, so you can run into him?”
A Miao scoffed and moved a few steps to the side, but Lil Xi followed and blocked her way.
”What do you really want to do?” A Miao had to stop. ”Get out of the way if you don't have something.”
Lil Xi looked at her with a sneer. ”How nice you are to be far away from Shen, why do you still appear?”
”Is this your home?” A Miao was a little angry. ”It's none of anyone's business where I go. If you don't get out of the way, I'll have to call the guards.”
”I won't let you pass!” Lil Xi folded his arms. ”I'm not glad, can you bit me?”
A Miao really did not want to tangle with him, so she turned around and headed for the side door. She did not see Lil Xi's interesting and proud smile after turning around.
The side door was next to the underground garage, and A Miao's car was parked in the square above. She had to go through the underground garage to get back to it. Halfway through, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
”A Miao?”
A Miao twisted her head to see Ouyang Jin and Ding V sitting in a car smiling at her.
