Chapter 1282: Auction (4)

“Master Sheng, what do you intend to do with this piece of land?” someone questioned.

After all, the Zhai family was bankrupt. Zhai Yunsheng was merely a leader who had no followers. Even if he managed to win the bid, he was limited by what he could do with it.

Zhai Yunsheng smiled and replied: “For a large project. You’re not assuming that I bidded on it with no plans in place right?”

This was quite a strange thing for Zhai Yunsheng to say. Everyone around him couldn’t help but frown.

“Master Sheng, do you intend to re-establish your business empire?”

In the past, people called Zhai Yunsheng “Master Sheng” because they had to respect him. They had to fear his identity and fear the power and influence that the Zhai family had.

Nowadays, everyone called him “Master Sheng” to more or less mock him.

Zhai Yunsheng continued to look at the people in front of him with a light smile on his face. The expected awkwardness was not there.

Was Zhai Yunsheng that thick-skinned?

“Are you sure that you can build a project up from scratch? If such a large project fails, it would be a huge waste of money!”

“What are you talking about? Master Sheng was once the head of the Zhai family. What kind of big projects has he not seen? Absolutely nothing will go wrong, right?”

“Master Sheng, if this project ends up going badly, remember to contact us. We will be willing to take it off your hands. Naturally, it wouldn’t be at today’s price. At today’s price, there is basically no profit margin. That’s also the reason why Mr. Qin and the others gave up bidding.”

For some reason, many people felt bitter from losing the bid just now. And thus, they started saying sarcastic things to Zhai Yunsheng in front of Jian Yiling.

“Right Mr. Qin?”

To get some reassurance, the crowd turned to ask Qin Chuan.

After all, everyone knew that Qin Chuan was ultimately the reason why the Zhai family went bankrupt.

Mentioning Qin Chuan at such a time was intentionally provoking trouble.

Qin Chuan looked at Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling with a complicated expression on his face.

When his gaze fell on Jian Yiling, there was a considerable amount of pain and heartache in his eyes.

“If you want to build up your business empire again, this project is not a good starting point,” Qin Chuan commented.

Thanks for your concern but this has nothing to do with you,” Zhai Yunsheng replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan said: “But you still shouldn’t let Yiling’s efforts and hard work go to waste.”

For some reason, even though he destroyed the Zhai family, he still felt bad for Jian Yiling.

It was as though he had a split personality.

“Mr. Qin, you don’t need to worry about my wife and me,” Zhai Yunsheng answered.

Upon hearing this, people said to Qin Chuan: “Mr. Qin gives good advice. It’s just a shame that not everyone can plan and lead their family business to success.”

“Yes, yes. Mr. Zhai might not necessarily understand the things you’re speaking about.”

“We should celebrate Mr. Zhai’s purchase of this piece of land. When you found your new company, please remember to invite us to the opening party.”

“Even though you may lose some money, Mr. Zhai’s vision is still very good. This piece of land has been the most valuable piece of land auctioned in Beijing for many years.”

Although some people appeared to speak up for Zhai Yunsheng, the ridicule in their words was understood by all.

At this time, the person in charge of the auction came over to invite Zhai Yunsheng to their office to go through the follow-up procedures.

“CEO Zhai of the Dingwen Group, please come with me to the office.”
