The real heiress has a super-rich system; it's your turn to fawn over her.

Chapter 314 In the end, there was nothing (4 words in this chapter)

Feng Sanshao had a sharp eye and searched around but couldn't find any letters representing their company.

He then found the corresponding number and discovered that it was still Baoruitang that had won the bid.

This time he was getting restless and turned to ask Wu Mingxing in a sinister tone.

"How are you going to explain this? Are you still going to tell me that Baoruitang got lucky?"

"This..." Wu Mingxing was speechless.

Seeing the unfriendly look in Feng Sanshao's eyes, he could only forcefully defend himself:

"Third Young Master, don't worry. Given Bao Ruitang's financial situation, this is probably their last bit of money."

They definitely won't be able to win the sealed bids later.

Hearing Wu Mingxing's explanation, and recalling the previous loan from Baoruitang, I realized that...

The loan information is genuine; Young Master Feng even went out of his way to check it out.

Feng San Shao could only suppress his unease and hope that the truth was as Wu Mingxing had said.

However, Feng Sanshao did not notice that Wu Mingxing was already drenched in cold sweat.

He glanced in Xu Tianlan's direction and saw her chatting and laughing with Tian Zhenzhen. He immediately sensed that the situation was not good.

Xu Tianlan seemed to notice his scrutiny, and soon their eyes met.

Xu Tianlan saw panic and tension in Wu Mingxing's eyes, which was nothing like his previous confident demeanor in front of her. Instead, he seemed more uneasy.

Xu Tianlan scoffed and mouthed something to Wu Mingxing.

Although Wu Mingxing didn't understand lip reading, he still understood what Xu Tianlan meant.

She was calling him an idiot.

Wu Mingxing gritted his teeth at the sight, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Master Zhou shared the same feeling as Wu Mingxing; he was also drenched in cold sweat, feeling that things were completely out of his control.

"Master Zhou, are you hot? Why are you sweating? Did you do something wrong that makes you so nervous?"

Xu Tianlan saw the cold sweat on Master Zhou's forehead and gave a sneer.

"I...I...I'm not, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Master Zhou looked guilty and his face was already flustered, but he still spoke with great bravado.

You should know that all the bidding information had passed through his hands, and the current situation does not match the information he wrote down at all.

He knew things were going badly.

"Mr. Xu, I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the restroom first."

As he spoke, Master Zhou shakily tried to stand up, and he really did look unwell.

But before he could stand up completely, Tian Daqiang forced him to sit back down.

"Feeling unwell? I think you're just feeling guilty. You're a traitor, accepting bribes. You're not young anymore, just wait to retire in prison."

Xu Tianlan's words exposed Master Zhou's true colors, infuriating him completely.

"What do you mean by that? What gives you the right to say that to me? Let me leave. I'm really not feeling well."

Master Zhou reacted strongly, but Tian Zhenzhen gave him a little mental suggestion, which calmed him down.

The bidding results continued, and after flipping through several pages, it became clear that Yu Zhiyuan hadn't won a single bid.

At this moment, Feng Sanshao's face was no longer just dark.

Feng Sanshao hadn't noticed it before, but through so many published results, he still discovered something was wrong.

"Wu Mingxing, explain to me properly why Baoruitang's bid was exactly one dollar more than ours."

"I entrusted you with full responsibility for this bidding process. Did you collude with them to play me like this?"

As Feng Sanshao spoke, he became increasingly agitated, grabbing Wu Mingxing by the collar with a look of utter hatred that seemed to want to devour him.

Wu Mingxing also noticed this problem. If he hadn't been the one in charge and knew he hadn't done these things, he would have thought he had received benefits from Baoruitang.

However, even in this situation, he would not admit anything.

They can only push the responsibility away.

"Third Young Master, there must be some misunderstanding. Don't you know my heart? I would never betray you."

This information must have been leaked by someone else.

As Wu Mingxing spoke, his gaze also fell upon the other four appraisers.

The final bid price was negotiated and agreed upon by them.

"Manager Wu, what do you mean by this? I've worked at Yuzhiyuan for almost thirty years. Are you implying that I leaked the results this time?"

"Hmph, Young Master Feng, this is a management problem. If you have any doubts about me, I will definitely have a good talk with the chairman when we get back."

"We have made so many great contributions to the company, but we never expected that after so many years of contributions, we would still be doubted."

We have nothing to hide; you can investigate all you want. If you can't find anything, then I don't think Yu Zhiyuan needs to stay.

All three are experienced craftsmen who have worked at Yuzhiyuan for many years.

They have great influence and a high status in the jade industry.

Chairman Feng treated the three of them with great courtesy.

When Feng Sanshao came out this time, the chairman told him to listen to the three of them more.

This demonstrates recognition and trust in the abilities of the three individuals.

Feng Sanshao also knew that the chances of these three people betraying the company's information were not as high as Wu Mingxing's.

Upon hearing the three men's threatening words, he slapped Wu Mingxing across the face.

Although this slap wasn't as hard as the one Daqiang gave Wu Mingxing, it still caused Wu Mingxing considerable pain.

Since his facial injuries hadn't healed yet, this slap only worsened his condition.

"These three master craftsmen are not people you can associate with. Even if you leak information, it's unlikely that they are the ones you're referring to."

I'm only contacting you about this; don't try to drag those three masters into this with me.

The three masters still trusted Feng Sanshao completely after seeing him teach Wu Mingxing a lesson.

That's why he didn't speak again.

When Wu Mingxing heard the Third Young Master say that, he could only shut up, but in the end his gaze still fell on Yan Caixin.

"Third Young Master, it must have been her who leaked it."

Feng Sanshao looked at Yan Caixin, somewhat displeased that she was among the appraisers.

For no other reason than that Yan Caixin's father had a very good relationship with his older brother, and his decision to send her here might actually be a way to trip him up.

Just as Feng Sanshao was about to say something, Yan Caixin revealed a disdainful expression.

"Manager Wu, you can't cry wolf. You didn't let me get involved in this sealed bid. I had no idea about the bid number or price."

“Caixin is right. It’s not that you, Manager Wu, thought Caixin was too young and lacked ability, so you didn’t let her participate.”

An expert directly testified for Yan Caixin.

Wu Mingxing also remembered that he hadn't involved Yan Caixin before, so now he couldn't shirk responsibility.

"You're in full charge of this matter, so if anyone has any doubts, it's you who has the biggest doubts."

Upon hearing Yan Caixin's accusations, Wu Mingxing nearly jumped up in anger. The consequences of this matter were far beyond his ability to bear, so he immediately retorted.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly betray the company? I have absolutely no reason to do so."

"I don't know. All I know is that their price was just one dollar more than ours by such a coincidence. They must have known something beforehand."

Yan Caixin didn't know exactly what had happened, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the show.

Young Master Feng was furious at this moment, and the bidding was not over yet.

These were just appetizers; what he valued most were the large raw stones.

He didn't believe that Baoruitang had the resources to win the bid, and still clung to a last shred of hope.

Not only did Feng San Shao think this way, but Wu Mingxing, who had been slapped, could only pray that what had happened before was just an accident.

But in the end, they were disappointed.

This time, Yu Zhi Yuan failed to select a single item from the sealed bid auction.

If it were just bad luck, that would be one thing, but anyone with eyes can see that it's Baoruitang targeting them.

Because everything they coveted ended up in Baoruitang's pocket.

At this moment, Feng Sanshao could no longer remain calm.

His chest heaved violently, and the veins on his neck and clenched fists were bulging. His body was trembling, and his emotions were on the verge of exploding.

I finally got this chance to earn some achievements, and it turned out like this.

This trip not only prevented him from giving his father an explanation.

When the news got back, he could already imagine how his two good brothers would attack him.

And those people in the company looked at him as if he were trash.

Feng San Shao suppressed his emotions and spoke slowly after a long while.

"Wu Mingxing, you're something else! Baoruitang not only snatched our items, but also paid exactly one dollar more for each item than we did."

If you don't give me an explanation for this, you can just wait to die.

Feng Sanshao spoke through gritted teeth, and his gaze toward Wu Mingxing was as if he were looking at a dead man.

If he is truly affected by this incident, he will definitely make Wu Mingxing pay the price.

You idiot! Even if he didn't leak this information, it's still his fault for not doing his job properly.

It even implicated him.

"Third Young Master, this is impossible. There are so many items up for auction, worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. Bao Ruitang definitely can't come up with that much money. We still have a chance."

Wu Mingxing was still making his last attempt to justify himself.

Unfortunately, Baoruitang paid the money shortly after winning the bid.

Previously, only a deposit was submitted during the sealed bid process.

Now that I've paid all the money, there's no hope left.

Feng Sanshao saw that the officials were negotiating with Xu Tianlan and the others. Both sides were satisfied with the result, and many people even took photos together.

I knew the auction was a done deal and there was no way to change it.

After glaring fiercely at Wu Mingxing, he left with his men.

Wu Mingxing felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.

Knowing that he can't change this, he will have a very miserable life in his later years.

No, there might not be a next life.

Seeing Xu Tianlan being fawned over by everyone, a wicked plan formed in his mind.

To be honest, Wu Mingxing's schemes are endless, and he's quick-witted, but he just can't quite distinguish between the big and small kings.

I don't know who I can offend and who I can't.

Xu Tianlan's actions have thoroughly established Baoruitang's reputation, as Baoruitang was the one that won the bids for the most expensive rough stones.

This is a great publicity opportunity, and it will definitely make headlines in China.

There is a three-month delivery period at the public auction. Of course, if the time limit is exceeded, you only need to pay a management fee and you can continue to keep the goods here.

However, Baoruitang still plans to ship the goods back to China because the stores are severely out of stock. Once the goods are back, they will have to rush to finish production.

The bosses who had previously helped Yu Zhi Yuan scam them came over at this time.

They never expected that Baoruitang could come up with so much money all at once without making a sound.

Several hundred million US dollars, that's billions of Chinese currency.

All these companies combined aren't worth that much money; the domestic jade market is probably about to undergo a major transformation.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu! I didn't expect you to be so capable, able to come up with so much money to auction jade. I'm sure Baoruitang will shine brightly in the jade market next year."

"Congratulations! Mr. Xu is truly a man of great talent. We should communicate and cooperate with Baoruitang more in the future. We will definitely cooperate with Mr. Xu's instructions."

"Mr. Xu is young and promising, not only young but also so wealthy. We are truly envious."

People in the business world are really good at changing their tune with the wind; the reversal happens so quickly.

"You're too kind, bosses. I should thank you all for the jade matter."

I happen to have some time now, so why don't we cut the jade into pieces first?

"It would also be good to see what the quality of this jadeite rough is like."

Xu Tianlan looked at the group with a forced smile.

However, these bosses clearly looked guilty. In their opinion, apart from the parts they had cut, the rest of the rough stone was definitely not worth much.

They were helping Yu Zhiyuan scam people before, but now they're the ones who are caught in the middle.

However, they couldn't very well refuse at this point, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and participate in the cutting of the jadeite rough.

Xu Tianlan didn't do anything to these people; she just wanted to show them the strength of Baoruitang.

Nobody's a fool.

Faced with absolute power, they can only be humiliated.

Moreover, once she returns, she will complete the acquisition of Yu Zhi Yuan, and she will settle accounts with all the companies that conspired to cheat her.

Tian Zhenzhen was not involved in the cutting of the raw stone. With Xu Tianlan there, I believe she can handle it well.

This cutting process is very time-consuming. Now that things were mostly settled, Tian Zhenzhen went straight back to the hotel to play games.

Sure enough, just as Tian Zhenzhen was about to go to sleep, Xu Tianlan came over and knocked on the door.

As soon as I entered, I saw her eyes crinkling with laughter, and her tone was full of smiles.

"Boss, you didn't see how surprised those bosses were when they saw the rough stones I dug up had such a huge price increase."

These guys are trying to help Yu Zhi Yuan scam us. I'll definitely take them down one by one.

Xu Tianlan was in high spirits and became more and more excited as she spoke.

Tian Zhenzhen yawned, clearly not very interested in the matter.

The outcome was already predetermined for her, so she naturally had little interest.

"Okay, you can arrange the subsequent shipping. After I finish the open bidding tomorrow, I will return to China ahead of schedule."

Tian Zhenzhen was getting tired of staying here, and she planned to return to China once she finished her business.

My sister-in-law is getting married in a few days, and I have to go back to help her.

"Okay, boss, you can take a rest now."

Seeing that Tian Zhenzhen clearly wanted to sleep, Xu Tianlan wisely refrained from disturbing her.

However, she was in a good mood and planned to go to a bar for a couple of drinks before going to rest.

The business from this trip to Myanmar is almost done, and with the boss there, there's no need to worry about Mingbiao's business tomorrow.

Xu Tianlan had a few drinks at the bar, and just as she was enjoying herself, her phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, a complex expression flashed across Xu Tianlan's face.
