"Oh my God, pigs are flying. It's unbelievable that my sister is letting you drive her car."
Donald Lin mumbled in shock.
Douglas Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Sure!" Donald Lin paused and continued, "My sister designed and modified this car herself, so she never allowed others, including even my parents, to touch this car. Many times did I plead, but she rejected.”
"To be short, my sister will never let anyone touch this car, but she let you not only touch it but also drive it, which is incredible."
Douglas Wu was startled, for he really didn't know this.
Donald Lin looked at Douglas Wu and begged, "Doctor Wu, please drive my car and let me try this car. The horsepower of this car has been modified and it is more powerful than my sports car."
Wu was about to consent when his phone vibrated. When he took it out and turned on it, he couldn't help but be startled.
"It's not that I don't want to, but your sister doesn't want to."
As Douglas Wu said this, he picked up his phone and showed it to Donald Lin. On it was a message just sent by Angelia Lin, which read: Don't let my brother drive my car.
Douglas Wu was surprised that this text message came at such a coincidence. Did Angelia Lin also know physiognomy, or did she have the ability to predict the future?
Donald Lin's face was full of disappointment and he muttered, "That's too much. I'm her brother."
Donald Lin muttered and suddenly looked at Douglas Wu, his eyes full of suspicion.
Douglas Wu said in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Doctor Wu, are you in a relationship with my sister?"
Douglas Wu almost choked on his own saliva and said angrily, "I'm afraid that you have some serious illness. Miss Lin and I have only met a few times, how can we fall in love?"
"You can't be sure of it, what if it's love at first sight? The beauty last night told me she fell in love with me when she saw me. I'm so damn charming." Donald Lin touched his face narcissistically.
Douglas Wu, "..."
"All love at first sight is pornographic love."
"More over, if that beautiful woman doesn't know that you drive a sports car worth tens of millions or that you are the eldest son of the Lin family, and she says she falls in love with you when she meets you for the first time, I can only say that you have blinded her."
Donald Lin mocked sarcastically and said awkwardly, "There is still true love in the world."
"In a place like a bar, sincerity is not as good as money, and feelings are just for sexual needs."
Douglas Wu shook his head helplessly, looking for true love in a bar full of lights, drinking and smoke. Donald Lin was really the only one and only.
Immediately, Douglas Wu changed the topic and asked, "When will the auction start?"
Donald Lin glanced at his watch and said, "There's still half an hour left. It's near the time. Let's go quickly. Doctor Wu, follow me driving your car."
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Mandu Building one after another.
Donald Lin took Douglas Wu directly to the monitoring room.
Donald Lin smiled and said, "The person in charge here is my friend, and on the surveillance screen you can see the situation at the auction site. I have arranged several people, and as long as Sammy Li opens his mouth, they will raise the price to the highest level."
Douglas Wu looked at Donald Lin in surprise. He originally planned to go raise the price in person so that Sammy Li could buy the land at the highest price. Unexpectedly, Donald Lin had already arranged everything.
Donald Lin scratched his head, "Doctor Wu, don't look at me like this. It was all arranged by my sister, and I am the executor."
"Originally, my sister arranged for these people to drive up the price so that our Lin Group's land could be auctioned at a good price. Now, we can make them disgust Sammy Li."
Douglas Wu's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt more and more that Angelia Lin was not simple.
"Oh, Sammy Li the bastard is really good at pretending to be a man. If I don't know his true identity, I may even be deceived by him."
Donald Lin looked at Sammy Li on the surveillance screen who was shaking hands and greeting people, humble and polite.
Douglas Wu narrowed his eyes, retracting the cold light under his eyes. He was deceived by Sammy Li's such face back then.
Donald Lin turned away the staff, and he controlled the monitoring himself.
"Doctor Wu, the auction is about to begin."
Douglas Wu nodded slightly.
A man in his thirties, wearing professional attire, walked onto the stage with a professional smile. He was today's auctioneer.
There were about forty or fifty people in the audience.
The auction started on time.
This time, a total of five pieces of land were auctioned, and the Lin Group's land was the last one.
Douglas Wu didn't pay much attention to the first four plots of land.
When it was time to auction the Lin Group's land, Douglas Wu sat up straight.
On the surveillance screen, Sammy Li also sat upright.
Sammy Li looked very confident, and it seemed that he was bound to win the Lin Group's land.
Before he entered the market, he spent a lot of money to find out that the Lin Group land's price was 100 million, and the transaction price would not exceed 300 million.
But what he didn't know was that this news he suddenly got before entering the venue was deliberately leaked to him by someone.
"The No. 5 bidder is now being auctioned. The information and procedures for this land are complete. The low price of this land is 100 million, and each increase in price must not be lower than 5 million."
The auctioneer opened a folder and put the information about Land No. 5 on the big screen behind him, showing it to everyone to ensure that the procedures for the land were complete.
"Now, the auction begins!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a thin, middle-aged man in a suit and leather jacket who looked like a successful man couldn't wait to shout, "One hundred million."
"One hundred and five million."
"One hundred and ten million."
"One hundred and fifteen million."
Suddenly, several people started to increase their prices.
Sammy Li looked back at the people who were bidding, with disdain in his eyes, as if he didn't take these people seriously.
Douglas Wu smiled and said, "These people are the ones you arranged to pretend here, right?"
Donald Lin grinned and nodded.
"One hundred and fifty million."
Sammy Li spoke, and shocked the whole audience. He directly increased the price from one hundred and fifteen million to 150 million.
All eyes were focused on Sammy Li.
Sammy Li smiled and looked calm. He enjoyed the feeling of being eye-catching.
Donald Lin sneered, "Bastard, there are times for you to cry."
Immediately, an order was issued through the Bluetooth headset, "The No. 9 can withdraw now, and the No. 17 continues to increase the price."
Every seat on site was numbered.
The middle-aged man who was bidding as the Participant No. 9 was angry, lowered his head feebly, and withdrew from the bidding.
No. 9 was the first to bid. Sammy Li saw it, and he didn't bother to smile.
Douglas Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "This person is good at acting."
Donald Lin chuckled and said, "They are all professionals."
Just when Sammy Li felt that he was sure to win, the No. 17 suddenly raised the price, shouting, "180 million."
Sammy Li suddenly looked back, his eyes cold.
At this moment, bidder No. 5, sitting next to Sammy Li, raised his sign, "Two hundred million."
Sammy Li looked at the No. 5 bidder next to him, his face was gloomy, and he said half smilingly, "Mr. Zhang, can your small company afford 200 million?"
