Chen Nan was puzzled, for instance, why Qu Shaojun would find his way here.
He rarely went to the company, and very few people knew his whereabouts.
Now, everything was clear.
It turned out they were playing the game of tracking!
Qu Shaojun said with a forced smile, "Miss Jian, please don't be angry. I had no choice. After all, I am very optimistic about your company's development prospects."
Chen Nan said coldly, "You're very optimistic about our company, so you resorted to secretly tracking us?"
"You should have prepared enough funds and then bid for it at the auction."
"That's what you should have done!"
"Not use these underhanded methods to stalk others!"
"If you liked a girl, would you also use such despicable methods to track her?"
"Is that polite?"
"Alright, you don't need to tell me who you are or your background."
"I'll make myself clear today. There are plenty of people who recognize Longyin's potential, and we don't lack your Qu family."
"What does Mr. Chen mean by this?" Qu Shaojun's smile vanished. He hadn't expected Chen Nan to embarrass him in public.
This action was tantamount to slapping him in the face.
Chen Nan: "It means nothing, except that I'm revoking your Qu family's eligibility to bid!"
Qu Shaojun was furious: "Chen, do you really think my Qu family is easy to bully? Do you know the consequences of making an enemy of our Qu family?"
Chen Nan's expression was indifferent: "I don't want to know. I just want to tell you one thing: get lost, now, immediately!"
"Young Master, let me deal with this blind fool for you!" A bodyguard behind Qu Shaojun stepped forward and, with a swift movement, appeared before Chen Nan.
"Chen, don't think that just because you live in Villa 95, you're a supreme emperor. Even if you can be a king in Ningji, in my young master's eyes, you're still just an ant!"
"If my young master wants to kill you, he can do it with a mere word... *slap*..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Chen Nan slapped him across the face, sending him flying backward. Blood spurted from his mouth, even mixed with a few teeth!
"Die!"
Another bodyguard roared, and a dagger appeared in his hand.
The dagger gleamed with a cold light under the night sky, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
Chen Nan made a hand seal with one hand.
*Puff puff puff!*
Withered vines broke through the ground and directly wrapped around the bodyguard's limbs.
Then, he was flung out over ten meters.
"You... you're a cultivator?"
Qu Shaojun was greatly shocked, his pupils filled with unease.
He hadn't expected Chen Nan to be a cultivator, and one who could perform spells.
His Qu family had such individuals, but he wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
*Slap!*
Chen Nan slapped him across the face from a distance: "If you get lost now, I can spare your life!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Junior thanks Senior for sparing my life. I'll get lost now!"
Qu Shaojun felt as if he had received a great pardon. Although he had suffered a loss today, and even been slapped by Chen Nan.
Although his heart was filled with suppressed anger.
But was this the kind of person he could afford to offend?
"Let's go, back for dinner!"
------
Qu Shaojun's incident was just a minor interlude and did not affect the four people's dinner.
After the meal.
Xie Churan and her daughter left Villa 95.
"Mom, does Sister Jian Ning like Chen Nan?" Xie Ling'er asked with a worried frown. She had felt their relationship was unusual before, and today she was even more certain of her guess.
The way they looked at each other clearly indicated they were more than just ordinary friends.
Xie Churan's heart rejoiced.
This was an opportunity!
She said, "Girl, Mom knows what's on your mind, but I advise you not to fall for Chen Nan. He's a very outstanding man, and you can't control him!"
"I wasn't thinking of controlling him!" Xie Ling'er chuckled, "Being controlled by him would be fine too!"
Xie Churan said displeasedly, "Do you want to disrupt someone else's relationship?"
Actually, she felt a little guilty saying this.
Because she herself had a clandestine relationship with Chen Nan.
"Mom, I don't want to disrupt someone else's relationship either!" Xie Ling'er said, "You say, can't a man as outstanding as Chen Nan be liked by others? It's human nature to like him."
"Yes, I don't deny that I like him. And I believe you must also have a good impression of him."
"What are you trying to say?" Xie Churan was a little nervous.
Xie Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the black abalone that Sister Jian Ning bought earlier. Is there a rule for how to eat that abalone?"
"It can be used for hot pot, grilled, braised, or even as sashimi."
"I feel that ingredients and emotions are the same; we don't need to follow a fixed template."
"As long as a way of interacting feels comfortable, we can interact in that way."
"What I'm saying is, for example, if we both like him, we can compete fairly!"
"If that doesn't work, the three of us can be open with each other!"
"We can't let one man affect the relationship between mother and daughter, can we?"
"What's yours is mine?"
"What's mine is yours?"
"Why be so clear-cut?"
Saying this, Xie Ling'er shivered slightly.
Did I drink too much?
How could I say such a thing?
Xie Churan also got goosebumps all over her body.
What was wrong with her daughter?
Could it be that the female ghost had implanted some feudal-era thoughts into her?
These unhealthy thoughts... could I have some too?
------
After finishing his business, Chen Nan went to the basement to continue refining pills.
The world was heading towards chaos; he had to accumulate wealth as quickly as possible.
Of course.
The clinic couldn't stop either. No matter what, he was still a doctor.
He needed to help patients ward off illness.
Receiving two hundred patients a day was his limit.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Longyin Company's auction.
The auction was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel.
It was only evening, but many luxury cars from out of town had gathered downstairs. Then, one by one, magnates from the business world alighted and were led by staff towards the banquet hall.
Jizhou was destined to be in the spotlight tonight, as no one had expected Longyin to hold a public auction.
As a dark horse that had emerged in China's beverage industry, countless people were optimistic about its development prospects, believing it could defeat Nongfu in the beverage sector in the future, enter the international market, and even step on Coca-Cola.
Even though the company only had two products, those who had tried them could not forget them.
And they all praised them.
Therefore.
Upon hearing that Longyin was going to auction, the magnates from the business world showed immense interest.
And most of them were from cross-industry backgrounds.
"Mr. Chen, all the real magnates are here today. The wealth of these people combined is equivalent to a medium-sized developing country."
Jiang Jiancheng was the auctioneer for this event. Even as the richest man in Jizhou, he couldn't help but feel nervous seeing these people.
Moreover, he had a premonition that Longyin's final transaction price would be outrageously high.
It would surely shock the world!
