On the way up, Lu Zhaoyang’s face was cold, and ignored Huo Yunting outright.

“We’ve arrived.” The guide made a gesture to welcome them in. “Please enter.”

“Thank you.”

Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting entered the meeting room and saw the extensive meeting room filled up with people, each one in suits and leather shoes. The look of the business elite.

Xiang Jinxi was in the midst of them, and he was seated to the far right on the first row, and did not seemed to have realized the presence of the newcomers as his eyes were firmly glued onto the stage.

“He’s here!”

Lu Zhaoyang turned sideways to look at Huo Yunting, and saw his originally smiling face had a veil over it, and darkness roiled in his black eyes, looking grim and dangerous.

“Stay calm.” She reminded him, fearing that Huo Yunting would lose control of his emotions.

Huo Yunting did not answer, and simply turned his gaze away from Xiang Jinxi as he held Lu Zhaoyang’s hand and led her to the seats in the center row.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere within the hall came to a standstill.

The representatives of the other three conglomerates looked at the aloof Xiang Jinxi before shifting their gaze towards Huo Yunting’s cold, handsome face.

As they were reminded of their struggles, they nodded at each other as they exchanged eye signals, and kept quiet as they waited for the bidding process to commence.

A series of footsteps was then heard.

A middle aged man slowly walked up the stage as he swept the entire floor with his imposing gaze, his loud voice reverberated across the entire hall.

“Greetings, I’m the mayor of Jing City.”

Mayor Jiang, who had recently been appointed, spoke slowly. “Today we will be deciding the rights for the port project, and the five companies present today are the biggest business groups in Jing City, as for who can take the project, it is up to your own capabilities.”

He took a deep breath, and continued. “The rules are simple, price call by turn, and who is able to give out the highest bid wins.”

“…”

Quite a few people frowned as they looked at Huo Yunting on the first row.

Among all five of the groups, the strongest of them all was Thunderbolt.

And it seems like they would not be able to take on Thunderbolt this time around.

No one had paid any attention to Xiang Jinxi. If it was in the past, they would be fearful of him but now the Xiangyuan today was not even their match, how could he hope to fight against Huo Yunting”

And at that very moment, everyone sighed, there was some regret, but also relief, as they saw things through.

“The starting bid will be one billion.” Mayor Jiang said. “You may start now!”

Lu Zhaoyang’s tongue was tied.

Even when the company had already done their preliminary assessment, she knew how important this project was.

But the moment she heard the starting bid was 1 billion, she was still shocked, and quickly looked at Huo Yunting.

What she saw was him with his eyes half-closed, as he took a disinterested bystander look. She rolled her eyes at him but pursed her lips and did not say anything else.

If he was not anxious, why should she?

“1.5 billion!”

“2 billion!”

“3.5 billion!”

“3.67 billion!”

As the bid progressed, the leap in the bid lessened drastically, and as it got to close to the 4 billion mark, one company gave up.

Within that period, Huo Yunting had not spoken a word, as he simply shut his eyes to rest.

Xiang Jinxi was the same as well, in the eyes of any bystanders, he looked like he had just came here to show his face.

“4 billion!”
