After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

One of these two was sent by Yu Ye, and the other by Ming Yun.

However, neither of them knew the other.

"Since Manager Yang has already done this, what else can I say?" Ms. Zheng said with a hint of displeasure in her voice.

Judging from this action alone, she had already guessed Manager Yang's intentions.

Manager Yang said, "I want to save you both time, so I'll be frank. Unless absolutely necessary, the Qin family doesn't want to sell the Qin Mansion. Therefore, we hope to find a truly suitable new owner for the Qin Mansion. It all depends on which of you is more suitable."

"I'll add 20 million," Mr. Zhao said.

The so-called "who is more suitable" is nothing more than an implication that it's about who can offer more money.

So the original 1.5 billion was essentially the reserve price.

Mr. Zhao naturally understood what this meant, so he directly added 20 million.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ms. Zheng raised her price, "I'll add another 20 million."

These two bidders added 20 million and 40 million respectively to the base price without even blinking.

Although they knew this was a scheme by Steward Yang, both of them came with the mission of taking over the Qin residence.

"Madam," Mr. Zhao said, looking at the woman.

"My surname is Zheng, thank you." The woman's tone was somewhat sharp.

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, Ms. Zheng, I suggest you don't try to raise the price with me. No matter how much you offer, I will always go higher. You don't need to waste your time."

"Is that so?" Ms. Zheng smiled slightly. "Then I can tell you that no matter how much you offer, I will always offer more."

Manager Yang remained expressionless, as if he didn't care how high the price was raised by both sides.

Meanwhile, Qin Pinsen watched the situation on the monitor and couldn't help but smile.

It's like God is helping him out.

Whether these two are truly determined to acquire the Qin residence or are simply competing with each other, the higher the price goes, the more advantageous it is for him.

"Alright, then I'll make another offer," Mr. Zhao said calmly, "two billion."

Ms. Zheng opened her mouth and said, "Twenty-one billion."

Mr. Zhao fell silent.

Manager Yang waited a few seconds, then asked, "Mr. Zhao, would you like to raise the price?"

Mr. Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Let me ask my boss."

He got up and walked towards the door of the reception room.

After leaving, I called Mino and explained the situation.

"Mr. Yu, today I met someone who also wants to buy the Qin residence. It seems she's at odds with me. I'm not sure if she's a plant hired by the Qin family, and I think that even if you're not short of money, you shouldn't be taken for a ride."

"Oh? There's a competitor?" Ono said from the other end. "Send me their photo."

"Yes."

After finishing the call, Mr. Zhao quickly took a picture of Ms. Zheng and sent it out.

In the waiting room, Ms. Zheng asked Manager Yang, "Excuse me, where is the restroom?"

"I'll take you there." Steward Yang stood up. "Please come this way."

Ms. Zheng then followed him to the restroom.

As soon as she entered the restroom, she sent a photo to Mingyun.

The photo shows Mr. Zhao, whom she secretly photographed during the auction.

Then he called Mingyun and said, "Sister Yun, this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and keeps bidding against me. I can't tell if he really wants to buy the Qin residence or if the Qin family arranged for him to deliberately drive up the price. Have someone investigate him."

About ten minutes later.

Mr. Zhao and Ms. Zheng returned to the waiting room one after the other.

Mr. Zhao remained calm.

Ms. Zheng's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Ms. Zheng just offered 2.1 billion," said Manager Yang. "Does Mr. Zhao want to raise the price?"

Mr. Zhao said, "Add more, of course I'll add 2.5 billion."

Ms. Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll offer... 2.6 billion."

"Two billion." Mr. Zhao added without hesitation.

Ms. Zheng: "..."

After a moment's thought, Manager Yang said, "Ms. Zheng, if the price really exceeds your expectations, then you don't need to bite the bullet and raise it further."

Manager Yang wasn't trying to provoke him by saying that.

He had a vague feeling that the price was indeed about right.

After all, this isn't a proper auction.

The person who bids the highest is not obligated to pay according to the auction rules, nor is it required to pay a penalty for breach of contract if they back out.

What if these two just end up joking around?

If both parties keep raising the price based solely on emotions, even to the point of 10 billion, and ultimately fail to reach a deal, it will only delay things.

However, Qin Pinsen, who was watching the whole thing on the monitor, was displeased after hearing what Manager Yang said.

He couldn't understand what Steward Yang was thinking.

On the contrary, they felt that Steward Yang was delaying the sale of the Qin residence at a high price.

He immediately sent a message, telling Steward Yang to leave first, while he went to take charge of the overall situation.

Qin Pinsen rushed to the reception room very quickly.

"Excuse me, gentlemen," Qin Pinsen said with a smile, "another buyer just contacted me. He's willing to offer 3 billion. If you can't offer a higher price, then I'm sorry."

He noticed that Ms. Zheng had clearly shown signs of difficulty after hearing that Mr. Zhao was willing to pay 2.7 billion.

Therefore, he estimated that this had reached Ms. Zheng's limit.

If they want the Qin residence to sell for a higher price, they can only fabricate a third buyer and try to drive up the price on Mr. Zhao's side.

"Is that so?" Mr. Zhao smiled slightly. "In that case, I'll offer 3.1 billion."

Qin Pinsen couldn't help but feel smug about his move.

The Qin residence is currently valued at around 3 billion. Originally, it was forced to be sold at half price, but now it has been sold for more than the normal price, which is a pleasant surprise.

"3.12 billion." Ms. Zheng added a little more, almost gritting her teeth.

She just reported the situation to Mingyun.

Mingyun found someone who could find out Mr. Zhao's identity within ten minutes.

It was confirmed that the other party was not someone arranged by the Qin family.

But strangely, this Mr. Zheng is just the owner of a medium-sized enterprise with a net worth of about 3 billion. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be spending all his wealth to buy a place to live.

The reason for this cannot be determined at present.

So Mingyun told her that if the other party's offer exceeded 3.2 billion, then forget it.

After Ms. Zheng gritted her teeth and quoted 3.12 billion, Mr. Zhao immediately said without hesitation, "I'll offer 3.5 billion."

Upon hearing the price, Ms. Zheng could only smile helplessly. "It seems Mr. Zhao is indeed very wealthy. Okay, I won't add any more. Congratulations, Mr. Zhao."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao." Qin Pinsen pretended to look at his phone screen with a regretful expression, "Another buyer, after learning of your offer, indicated that they were willing to offer 3.5 billion, so..."

Ms. Zheng looked surprised and thought to herself, "If he's not out of his mind to ask for 3.5 billion, then Qin Pinsen is lying."

There are many rich people in this world, but there are very few rich people who are mentally unstable.

She was more inclined to believe that Qin Pinsen was talking nonsense.

If Mr. Zhao falls for the trap, then he's a complete idiot.
