Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Last time, Boss Qin gave Zhang Shaoyang a dressing down, and Zhang Shaoyang has held a grudge ever since.

Now that he saw Boss Qin still speaking up for Ye Chen, Zhang Shaoyang's anger erupted, and he stopped pretending.

"Boss Qin, you're helping Ye Chen so much, does that mean he's your illegitimate son?"

"I am the junior, that's true, but I hope you won't act superior just because you're older. The Zhang family isn't someone to be trifled with. You're just a businessman; you need to know your place!"

"You..." Boss Qin was stunned, not expecting Zhang Shaoyang to be so arrogant.

She wanted to say something more, but Ye Chen stopped her.

"Alright, Boss Qin, there's no need to bother with this kind of person."

As he spoke, Ye Chen walked over to Zhang Shaoyang and smiled at him.

"Young Master Zhang, you just said, 'We'll see how things go,' and I hope you'll still be smiling when the auction ends!"

"You say I've lost? Then I hope you'll open your eyes wide and see carefully later, and see which shops the factory has secured ultimately end up with!"

What does this kid mean?

Seeing Ye Chen's serious expression, Zhang Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat.

At this point, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong!

Just then, the auction came to a complete close, and many business owners walked out of the venue.

The moment Zhang Shaoyang turned around, he happened to see his second uncle accompanying the middle-aged man who had won the bid, walking towards the exit of the venue.

Uncle Hu, beaming, said, "Boss Hu, you're really generous this time. Thanks to your support, our shops were able to fetch such high prices!"

"Our factory manager is already waiting at the factory. Now, all that's left is the final step: signing the contract and settling the payment. Once that's done, the deal will be complete!"

But what Uncle Er didn't expect was that, before he could finish speaking, Boss Hu suddenly sped up and walked straight toward Zhang Shaoyang's location!

Zhang Shaoyang was slightly taken aback, thinking that Boss Hu wanted to shake hands with him, and subconsciously took a step forward and raised his right hand.

"Hu……"

Before he could even say hello, Boss Hu brushed past Zhang Shaoyang and walked straight up to Ye Chen under Zhang Shaoyang's dazed gaze.

"Brother Ye, congratulations! I've completed the task assigned by Boss Qin. Now it's your turn to sign the contract and hand over the payment!"

"By the way, this time I only spent 850,000 yuan to acquire the store. As I agreed with Boss Qin beforehand, half of the price difference will be my commission!"

It turns out that Boss Qin had already discussed with Ye Chen about bribing Boss Hu.

The two parties reached an agreement: Ye Chen's expected price was 100 million, and whatever the difference between Ye Chen's and 100 million prices, Ye Chen would give half of the difference to Boss Hu as commission.

"you……"

Seeing the three of them acting so familiar with each other, Zhang Shaoyang was completely dumbfounded. He stood there for a long time before he finally couldn't help but speak.

As he spoke, Zhang Shaoyang pointed at Ye Chen, his face filled with disbelief.

Ye Chen simply smiled faintly, directly interrupting Zhang Shaoyang: "Young Master Zhang, I've said it before, you can see for yourself who will ultimately win!"

"Boss Hu is someone I specifically hired to help me with the auction. Do you really think that by using some tricks to prevent me from entering the venue, I can't acquire these shops?"

"Also, the whole play I put on with Luo Ling just now was to lull you into a false sense of security. I wanted you to understand that the higher you jump, the harder you fall!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he stopped looking at Zhang Shaoyang and followed Boss Hu to his second uncle.

"You must be Zhang Shaoyang's second uncle? Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Chen, and I'm the person behind Boss Hu this time!"

"According to the rules, Boss Hu won the bid. Now it's time for us to sign the contract. You said the factory manager is waiting, so let's not keep him waiting too long!"

"This..." Second Uncle was stunned for a moment, and in the end he could only pinch his nose and agree with this statement, and shook hands with Ye Chen!

Now that the auction results have been announced, the factory manager probably already knows the final price.

If Uncle Er were to cause trouble for Ye Chen again at this critical juncture, it would be like shooting himself in the foot!

At that time, forget about merits; my second uncle might even be blamed by everyone in the factory, and even the factory manager might not be able to tolerate him!

"Yes, yes, the auction is over, and Mr. Hu won the bid. However, since Mr. Hu is willing to transfer the qualification, that's a matter between the two of you. We'll just see who pays!"

"Second Uncle, how could you agree to that? This is against the rules!" Zhang Shaoyang exclaimed, jumping up and down as he saw his second uncle lower his head.

Finally, he even pointed at Ye Chen's nose and cursed, "This guy is nothing but a lackey who digs for food in the mud. He doesn't even have an invitation; he can't even get into the venue!"

"This auction was completely rigged. You should expose him; we absolutely cannot let him get his way!"

"Have you said enough? If you have, shut up!" But Zhang Shaoyang didn't expect that his second uncle would not only not speak up for him, but would instead scold him.

Finally, he pushed Zhang Shaoyang aside and instead accompanied Ye Chen toward the factory with a fawning expression!

"Damn it!"

Watching the departing figures of the crowd, Zhang Shaoyang stomped his foot angrily, his face full of resentment.

Having come this far, how could Zhang Shaoyang possibly have the face to remain at the scene?

He turned around and left, leaving behind a disheveled figure.

……

A short while later.

Ye Chen arrived at the office led by his second uncle. The factory manager had been waiting for a long time and rushed over when he saw Ye Chen.

"This must be Mr. Hu. I've heard about you before. Thank you so much for your support of our factory!"

Ye Chen smiled and explained, "Factory manager, you've got it wrong. Boss Hu is just the auctioneer I appointed."

"According to the rules, entrusting someone else's work is not illegal. As long as I pay the full amount as agreed, our contract can still continue!"

For the factory manager, he only cares about the result, not the process. As long as he can sell the shop and at a high price, he doesn't care who he sells it to!

In an instant, the factory manager accepted reality and immediately changed his tune.

"Brother Ye Chen, you're the youngest boss I've ever met. I misspoke earlier; you're much more capable than I imagined!"

"You're right, entrusting someone else's business isn't illegal, and the auction results are still valid. Come on, according to the rules, let's sign the contract, pay the full amount, and then we can go through the formalities to transfer those shops to your name!"

At the end of his speech, the factory manager picked up the contract and handed two copies to Ye Chen for review!

Seeing Ye Chen emerge as the ultimate winner, the second uncle couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off just cooperating with Ye Chen directly; at least then we could be friends!

Now look what's happened, we've completely offended Ye Chen!
