Chapter 1494: Opposition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

South City was the new city area that the country was going to spend a huge sum of money to build. The relocation of the South City Administrative Office would definitely bring about the rapid development of that area. At that time, the property prices in this area would increase greatly.

The piece of land that was being auctioned today was a combination of commercial and residential property. When Fortune Group obtained the blueprint for this piece of land a few days ago, Fortune Group had already completed its design. They were going to build a super large mixed-use compound outside that would rank first among mixed-use compounds in South City. Then, they would build a high-end residential area at the back.

Due to the excessive size of the plot of land, they had to split it into six stages to develop the residential area alone. When the time came, the plot of land would become the most luxurious residential area in South City.

The land price here was still considered cheap. After a month, it would skyrocket, so Fortune Group had high hopes for this piece of land. Once they had successfully obtained this piece of land, they would earn at least ten billion in net profit.

Further complemented by a large-scale economic ent.i.ty, the land would provide them with a steady stream of income.

s.h.i.+ Maode, the chairman of Fortune Group and also s.h.i.+ Yalin’s father, personally attended the auction for this piece of land.

This was because there was a member from the s.h.i.+ family’s collateral relatives who was now the director of Emperor District’s Urban Development Department. Meanwhile, this urban development plan had not been made public yet, and only the s.h.i.+ family knew about it.

Therefore, even if the Nangong family’s Imperial Palace Group, Eagle Eye Group, Shengyang Group, Ningwen Group, and Xiao family’s Welkin Group were present today, s.h.i.+ Maode knew that the land would belong to his Fortune Group today!

After all, those families still did not know the exact value of this land, and his price would definitely be the highest among them.

Almost everyone was present at the auction.

s.h.i.+ Maode glanced at Shengyang Group and Eagle Eye Group.

Shengyang Group and Eagle Eye Group had always been mysterious—the chairman of Shengyang Group had never shown his face. Although the chairman of Eagle Eye Group revealed his face before, the chairman was a person without any status or background. His name was so ordinary that it made one’s hair stand on end—Liao Chuan.

However, how could any ordinary person be in possession of two corporations that joined the ranks of the first-tier wealthy families using their status as mere corporations?

Therefore, at this land auction, s.h.i.+ Maode especially took a look at Shengyang Group and Eagle Eye Group, the two large corporations that received acknowledgment to become first-tier wealthy families at the same time. He wanted to see if the people who came today were still those two unremarkable people.

It was as he expected.

It was still the same tall, average, and st.u.r.dy-built man from Eagle Eye Group whose name could not even be found when thrown into the crowd—Liao Chuan.

Meanwhile, it was still the same CEO from Shengyang Group; not the hidden mastermind who controlled all the power.

The person representing Imperial Palace Group was the vice president of Imperial Palace Group, the Nangong family’s Third Young Master—Nangong Yun.

Beside Nangong Yun sat a girl.

Even though s.h.i.+ Maode had never seen this girl in person, he had watched many videos about her. This person was none other than the woman who had stolen his Yalin’s fiancé, Nangong Nuannuan.

Yes, in the eyes of the s.h.i.+ family, Chi Yang was s.h.i.+ Yalin’s fiancé even if the Chi family had never agreed to it.

They would only allow Chi Yang to be the son-in-law of the s.h.i.+ family.

Therefore, when s.h.i.+ Maode saw Nangong Nuannuan, his eyes were filled with malice. This woman should consider herself lucky. Five days ago, the s.h.i.+ family had sent so many killers, but none of them had been able to kill her. Luck was on her side.

Nangong Nuannuan was talking to Nangong Yun when she suddenly felt someone looking at her.. She raised her head and met the person’s gaze.
