“You did well!”

In order to realize her dream of Lu Ming getting accepted by her mother, Chu Jinyu had mentioned this matter to her from time to time a few days ago. Her mother should have seen the results of their work by now.

At the thought that she was much closer to attaining her goal, she smiled.

“We still have to continue working hard!”

Although Lu Ming did not know what she was anxious about, he agreed. “Alright, alright.”

After the two of them finished celebrating, he returned to his own No. 1 Residence. His phone suddenly rang. “Boss?”

“Is it… Wen Yongsu’s voice?”

He had almost forgotten that he had asked the other party to keep an eye on the auction in order to get timely information and buy Lu Yaohua’s land.

As for why he only went to the auction at the last minute, it was mainly because he did not want to alert the enemy. If Lu Yaohua found out, all his plans would be ruined.

It was better to play it safe.

“I’m here. Is there any news?”

“The Zhongjia Auction is starting tomorrow. I’ve already gotten someone to send the invitation to you. There are many big shots here this time. I wish you all the best.”

Then Wen Yongsu hung up.

Lu Ming stretched his back. His eyes were filled with determination. He would not let Lu Yaohua have it easy!

The next day.

As the main topic of this auction was land, the organizer had invited many well-known people. Instantly, many people’s eyes were fixed on those famous people as they tried to find an opportunity to chat with them. They hoped to catch the eye of someone important.

Lu Yaohua was one of those people.

The first to arrive was a mature woman in a red cheongsam. She held a gold-inlaid pipe in her hand as she walked over slowly. Her every move was flirtatious and everyone present was staring at her!

She glanced at them briefly and disinterestedly.

Just as she was about to enter the auction, several men in formal suits surrounded her. “Ms. Han, are you here today to buy something? Why don’t we have a chat?”

“Ms. Han, look at me! I’m from Xinghui Real Estate. I know the lands being auctioned like the back of my hand. If you have any questions, I can answer them at any time.”

“I’m from Songyang Technology! May I know if Ms. Han is interested in collaborating with our company? Our company mainly focuses on future technologies, such as robotics. The prospects are quite good. We’re considered one of the best in the industry!”

…

In just a few seconds, these people surrounded Han Qianjing.

They introduced themselves, one after another, just to vie for Han Qianjing’s attention. After all, if they succeeded in securing a partnership with her, they could easily get a promotion, a raise, and reach the peak of their lives!

Each of them wondered if he might be that lucky person.

Some people by the side were looking on with envious expressions. They had given up trying to jostle with the crowd.

“Sigh, if my eyes were any sharper, I might have been able to squeeze in. Everyone was clearly chatting just now, so how did they react so quickly? Now I don’t even have a chance to talk to Ms. Han.”

“We must keep our eyes peeled for such a good opportunity. You know, there was a person who caught Mrs. Han’s eye the last time and signed a contract worth more than 10 million yuan on the spot. Now I heard that that person bought an apartment in Shanghai’s prime location and a Mercedes-Benz. He’s enjoying life.”

“Tens of millions of yuan is just a matter of sprinkling water to the Iron Lady. But just these few drops of water are enough for us to live a stable life for a while. I also want to collaborate with her…”

“Let’s forget about it. Ordinary people like us probably won’t have a chance in our lives. She’s really enviable. She’s beautiful and resourceful. If anyone can marry her, it’ll be a great blessing!”

“I think you’re dreaming. She already has a daughter!”

…

According to the information Lu Yaohua had received, there was a person with a more impressive background coming later. Unfortunately, he had unintentionally offended the other party last time, so he could only rub shoulders with Han Qianjing.

If he could curry favor with her and get an investment from her, his company would immediately be revived.

After adjusting the bow tie around his neck, he cleared his throat and walked over.

The clamor around her was making Han Qianjing a little impatient. She said, “I’m not in the mood to talk about work today. Move aside.”

Seeing the expression on her face, those people tactfully dispersed.

Han Qianjing tutted and thought to herself, “If I had known better, I shouldn’t have signed that contract. If not for that person’s good character, I wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Before she could take half a step, she saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing in front of her, pretending to be cool. She frowned. “Is this person a mental case?”

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Yaohua said obsequiously, “Hello, Ms. Han. I’m Lu Yaohua, the person in charge of the Lu Corporation. After the auction ends, are you interested in having a meal with me to talk about cooperation? I guarantee there’s no investment risk.”

“No investment risk?”

Han Qianjing rolled her eyes inwardly.

If Buffett had said this, it might have been credible, but the person in front of her was the boss of a small company. Only an idiot would believe him! She suspected that this person had had too much to drink to say such a thing.

Besides, she thought she had heard of Lu Yaohua’s name somewhere.

But she could not remember. Since she could not remember, it must be someone unimportant.

Just as she was about to decline his invitation, a red-haired woman in a blue cheongsam walked over. “Mom, why are you still at the door?”

She had just stopped the car and was a little late.

“They are mother and daughter?!”

He could not help but sigh. “They are really beautiful!”

Lu Yaohua quickly introduced himself, “Hello, Ms. Chu. I’m Lu Yaohua from the Lu Corporation.”

Chu Jinyu looked at him and seemed to have thought of something. She asked, “You’re Lu Ze’s father?”

“She knows me?!” he thought.

Only then did he remember that Lu Ze seemed to have mentioned in passing that he liked the daughter of a certain business big shot and that he wanted to send flowers to confess his feelings for her.

“Could it be that my son’s tactics have moved Chu Jinyu?” he wondered.

“Is that why she remembers him so well?

To put it another way, could it be that Lu Ze has succeeded?!

Wow, it seems that my precious son, Lu Ze, is not entirely useless!” he thought.

Lu Yaohua was surprised and delighted. He said, “Lu Ze is my son. Oh, my. I didn’t expect Ms. Chu to have such a good memory!”

However, in the next second, Chu Jinyu said to Han Qianjing, “The person who harassed me on the streets was Lu Ze. I have told you before, right?”

“Oh?”

No wonder Han Qianjing thought that she had heard the name before.. She sneered and said, “Someone who could harass my daughter in broad daylight must have poor upbringing, right? I heard that your son failed in his confession and wanted to snatch her away by force? Could it be that you are bandits?”
