"The box is more precious?" Su Yixue frowned as she responded, wondering if Ye Fan was talking nonsense, or if he had really discovered something.
Although Su Yixue didn't understand much about the matter, given Ye Fan's previous behavior, she hesitated as well.
Wang Fugui, on the other hand, was becoming somewhat impatient, "Sister-in-law, you must trust Big Brother, he's really capable. He once led me to pick out a super treasure in the antique market..."
"Come on! Sister-in-law, hand over the item to me!"
As he spoke, Wang Fugui took the box from Su Yixue's hands and then walked over to Yu Qiang's secretary, "Brother, take another look?"
The secretary, originally not planning to continue looking since the slots had already been set, thought there was no point in looking further. .net
But recalling the brief sensation of the Martial Arts Qi Force Fluctuation he had perceived before—that mysterious fluctuation of Qi, though it was just for a moment, he was absolutely certain that the Martial Breath was real.
Could it be that the Qi fluctuation had emanated from that idiot husband of Su Yixue?
"Hmph! What's there to see? Su Yixue, the slots have been confirmed. What else do you want to do? Do you think your two items can compare to what I've brought?"
Before Yu Qiang's secretary could say anything, Jin Yang once again appeared suddenly at the door of the room.
Although his privates were injured, he had just given himself a simple bandaging; with gauze wrapped around his groin area, he entered the room in a somewhat comical fashion.
Jin Yang was very confident in his antique, so he didn't want to miss the moment the slots were announced.
As Jin Yang spoke, he instinctively reached out to grab the antique box in Wang Fugui's hand. But sensing the stirring Martial Arts Qi emanating from Wang Fugui, he involuntarily retreated a step, slightly wary.
"Secretary Zhang, I don't think you should waste your time anymore. The slots have already been confirmed. Could you please hurry up and have Elder Yu sign the document?" Jin Yang said, somewhat smugly dissuading Yu Qiang's secretary.
When Jin Yang turned to look at Su Yixue, he said with a sullen face, "Hmph! Su Yixue, I told you there would come a time when you would beg me. Now that the slots are confirmed, your Su Family no longer has a chance. No matter how good your Su Corporation's Beauty Nourishing Cream is, without a production license, what can you do?"
"Ungrateful, I refuse to believe that with my means, I can't deal with you," he sneered.
After berating Su Yixue and Ye Fan for a while and noticing that Ye Fan's expression seemed off, Jin Yang quickly shut up.
And what such a private discussion implied was already very clear.
"Secretary Zhang, what...should we do? About the slot just now..." Jin Yang was completely flabbergasted. Even an idiot could see what this meant.
"The slot offered just now is void; everyone, please leave! Elder Yu said the slot belongs to the Su Family, and no one can change that," Secretary Zhang announced dispassionately, a conclusion that everyone had already guessed from his behavior just a moment before.
"Ah... this..." Jin Yang's face instantly turned pale.
The Jin Family had expended so much effort for this slot.
Not only money but also connections; the price paid was considerable, all with the aim of launching a new drug.
If they missed this slot, not only would all the Jin Family's efforts have been in vain, but if they failed to produce the new drug on time, their financial chain would break, and they might even go bankrupt!
"Secretary Zhang..."
Jin Yang wanted to argue further, but Secretary Zhang was already guiding Ye Fan, Su Yixue, and Wang Fugui toward an inner compartment. Several of Yu Qiang's bodyguards blocked Jin Yang, saying coldly, "Mr. Jin, please leave!"
"This..."
Jin Yang was utterly bewildered; he clearly had secured the slot moments ago. The Su Family had let Yu Qiang re-evaluate the antique, and he had indeed reassessed it, even inviting Su Yixue and others inside, ultimately granting the slot to the Su Family!
"What kind of tactics did the Su Family use? The Jin Family has been defeated?"
"It's quite miraculous, isn't it? Are you leaving? I want to stay and see what exactly happened," said another.
"Look at Jin Yang, he was so full of himself just now, and now he's deflated," chimed in another voice.
Hearing the quiet discussions of other family representatives around him, Jin Yang felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed fly larvae; how did the situation end up like this?
Watching the firmly closed door, a fierce glint flashed in Jin Yang's eyes; so what if the Su Family got the slot?
The current Ye Family was just a toothless tiger, and as far as the Jin Family was concerned, the Su Family was not even worth considering...
