It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

In the hotel room, Chen Mo and Gu Qingyao took a shower.

Because it was Gu Qingyao's first time last night, she can only sleep tonight.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, Gu Qingyao…

He noticed the movement, his eyes widened, "Qingyao, you..."

"Hmph, what Zhao Siman can do, I can do too. Also, don't even think about Yu Linglong and Luo Na."

Chen Mo was deeply moved.

She was a cold and aloof female CEO, a well-known innocent beauty, but now…

However, this possessiveness is a bit too strong, a stumbling block to the idea that having many children brings many blessings.

After a long time, the two went to sleep.

The next day, Chen Mo asked Lu Jie to give him the bid form.

Going to the public auction and continuing research is actually to understand more about what buyers are thinking.

By the afternoon, he had even examined the bid slips in those bid boxes with X-ray vision.

Furthermore, he made a special trip to Qin's stall to hear the sentiments of Zhou Limin, Meng Hongliang, and others.

[Hahaha, this idiot is still watching. Doesn't he know we already know his bottom price? If he dares to bet, we'll make sure he gets nothing.]

[Some materials look good, but the inside is definitely bad. Ha, this fool was fooled by a few experts. His skills are nothing special.]

That's it!

It's definitely done!

He immediately went to the restroom, where he took out some blank forms and filled in the materials he wanted to submit.

The bid price was only between 1 and 10 more than the highest bid in those boxes. He originally planned to bid only one yuan more, but that would be too obvious and would arouse suspicion.

In the end, after calculating, he only had to spend his 2.9 million yuan, plus Shengheng's 9 million yuan. He wanted to spend more, but in the sealed bid area, these were the only ones worth bidding on.

He put the bid form into the three-dimensional space, went out immediately, and began to put bid forms into the box.

He had Gu Qingyao hand him the bid forms she had written the night before, one by one. With his back to the monitor, he moved extremely fast and immediately dropped them into the bid box.

However, no one saw that the moment he put the bids in and all the bids entered the entrance, he used his mind to store that bid into the three-dimensional space, and then put the other bids in from the space.

Hehe, I'm a cheater, how can your Qin family compete with me?

Lu Jie watched as the bid was submitted, breathed a sigh of relief, and sent a message: "He submitted it; it's the bid from last night."

After they finished submitting their bids and left, at the last minute, a large number of people from the Qin family arrived and submitted their bids frantically.

Finally, Zhou Limin stood in front of the number one bid, pondered for a long time, and looked on with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Damn it, let's go for it, invest 15.1 billion, and we'll still make a profit. Nobody dares to be this bold. We'll put in one more dollar than Shengheng."

Fill out the bid form and submit it immediately.

Zhou Limin breathed a sigh of relief, his face also full of anticipation.

At this moment, Chen Mo and his group arrived at Area B. After taking a look, he lost interest in these materials.

Because he already had a lot of high-end materials in his space, and with the addition of the sealed bid and the winning bid, there were even more high-end goods.

There's no need to spend a fortune competing with those big shots for those readily available materials.

"Let's go have a big meal and then head to Lorna's bar to celebrate winning the bid tomorrow."

Seeing his confidence, Gu Qingyao was overjoyed.

A cold smile appeared on Lu Jie's lips.

[Ha, idiot... But if he wasn't being targeted, this idiot would be quite formidable, too bad...]

That evening, they had a big meal and then went to Lorna's bar for drinks.

Luo Na's father, a cheerful Dai man, came over with a wine glass.

"Mr. Chen, I heard from Luo Na that you made her a fortune! From now on, you're my brother!"

Chen Mo took the wine glass, thinking to himself: Calling me brother? Does your daughter want to sleep with me?

He glanced at the top of Rona's head.

Mo is so handsome... I really want to kiss him... and have him help me achieve financial freedom through jade gambling...

Late at night, I returned to the hotel with Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao came out of the shower, her hair still wet, wearing a hotel bathrobe, and sat on his lap.

"Chen Mo, are you tired today?"

"good."

She remained silent for a while.

"Chen Mo, the bidding opens tomorrow. If... something really goes wrong, and Shengheng's cash flow dries up, will you leave me?"

"Won't."

Why?

"Because we can't afford to lose money."

Gu Qingyao gave him a sweet kiss, "Tonight, it's okay."

She blushed and turned off the bedside lamp.

……

The next day was the bidding day, and I went to the public auction early to wait.

The venue was packed with people, several times more than the previous two days.

Everyone stared at the big screen, waiting to see who the biggest winner of this year's auction would be.

At 9:00 sharp, the big screen started scrolling.

The first piece of material, numbered 001, had a winning bid of 15.1 billion yuan.

Winning bidder: Qin's Mining.

Gu Qingyao's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"How is this possible?" Her voice trembled. "We bid 15.1 billion for the top bid, why did Qin's only bid one yuan more? There's a conspiracy! There's a conspiracy!"

The shopkeepers nearby all turned to look.

Zhou Limin stepped out of the crowd with a polite smile on his face.

"Qingyao, this auction is jointly organized by various associations. It's fair and just, how could there be any shady dealings? Our extra dollar is just a coincidence, or..."

He glanced at Chen Mo, his expression meaningful.

Lu Jie stood behind and glared at Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, did you leak it? Are you in cahoots with the Qin family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingyao slapped Lu Jie across the face.

Snapped!

Lu Jie covered her face, her expression full of disbelief.

"Chairman Gu, you trust him that much?"

"He's my man, of course I trust him." Gu Qingyao's voice was cold. "Lu Jie, you betrayed Sheng Heng, you betrayed my father, how can you face him?"

"I..." Lu Jie's lips trembled. "Chairman Gu, what evidence do you have... I'm also a veteran of Shengheng, and I served as Chairman Gu's secretary for six years."

"Only you have access to the bidding documents, Lu Jie. Don't let me get any evidence, or I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail."

"Hey, Qingyao, don't be suspicious. Secretary Lu is one of us."

"Huh? One of our own?"

Lu Jie also looked puzzled.

"We'll find out then." Chen Mo grinned mischievously. "Look, we won the bid too."

Chen Mo pointed to the big screen.

Lot No. 003, winning bid price: 300 million and 100 million.

Winning bidder: Shengheng Group.

Gu Qingyao's eyes widened, then she asked in confusion, "When did we vote for this? Wasn't it number one?"

"We'll see how it goes when we receive the goods tomorrow."

The scrolling continued on the big screen.

Qin's Mining won the bid, Qin's Mining won the bid, Qin's Mining won the bid...

As Zhou Limin watched the names pop up on the screen, his smile grew wider and wider.

The total value of the winning bids has exceeded two billion.

Including the materials that the Qin family themselves had their eye on, the total was nearly three billion.

He's confident he can make at least a billion from selling three billion worth of goods.

Meanwhile, Shengheng continued to win bids, with a total bid price of 11.9 billion yuan.

Zhou Limin and the others frowned and glanced at Lu Jie.

Lu Jie shook her head, her eyes full of doubt.

When did he submit the bid? What exactly happened? Why did he say I was one of his own? Could it be...?

She suddenly realized something, shuddered, and almost lost her balance.

Chen Mo immediately helped her up.

"Secretary Lu, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing."

Chen Mo lowered his voice in her ear, "Secretary Lu, thank you for revealing our secrets to the Qin family."

"You..." Lu Jie's body went limp, and she collapsed into Chen Mo's arms.

But in the eyes of Zhou Limin and his group, Lu Jie was flirting with Chen Mo.

Damn it, did Lu Jie betray me?

Their faces darkened.

Thinking of another terrible consequence, his eyes were filled with irritation, and he glared fiercely at Lu Jie.

Lu Jie, nestled in Chen Mo's arms, pleaded in her eyes, "Mr. Chen, please spare me? I was forced into this. Don't push me out of Shengheng. From now on, you can do whatever you want to me."

"This is a serious crime of commercial espionage. Your physical condition alone is not enough to atone for the crime. Besides, Zhou Limin and his men will not let you off the hook."

"Mr. Chen, I...I know a lot of secrets, including some of the shareholders in Shengheng. I want to use these secrets to get you to let me go and protect me."

Chen Mo's eyes lit up. "Okay, but let's wait until the auction is completely over first."

Hehe, I can't wait to see Zhou Limin and his team cut the stone on site!

Especially the No. 1 bid, which cost 15.1 billion to buy a bunch of scrap.
