Chapter 1502: To The Death
Nangong Yun was petrified when he saw the s.h.i.+ family’s encrypted doc.u.ments popping up so easily with just a few casual fiddling with Nuannuan’s hand.
Nuannuan was still unaware of her insane technological mastery and she continued, “After all, I’m also someone with a business. Although I’m not involved in the management of the business, I have the obligation to save costs for my business too. I don’t know the rules in the auctions here either. I was afraid that if I only bid one buck more than the s.h.i.+ family, they’ll do everything they can to fail me so that I won’t win that bid. Thus, I topped up one million bucks. Thinking about it, a million bucks is enough to buy a basic gown. How frustrating!”
Nuannuan was still brooding over the fact that she could not buy that piece of land with just one buck more.
Going down memory lane, Nuannuan remembered how many brain cells she would have to sacrifice just to s.n.a.t.c.h a gown that cost a million bucks from Zhong Qianqian back then.
Nangong Yun sat in the carriage as he stared blankly at his younger sister. For some reason, he could not help pitying the s.h.i.+ family.
s.h.i.+ Gen and s.h.i.+ Yalin merely angered Nuannuan that once while s.h.i.+ Yalin’s father annoyed Nuannuan just today. That was enough to trigger Nuannuan’s vengeful heart to the point of destruction!
After using a million bucks to bag the land that the s.h.i.+ family was determined to get—a land that promised a net profit of over 30 billion—Nuannuan still looked like she painstakingly missed out on a good opportunity. While he was still overwhelmed by emotional turmoil, Nangong Yun nodded and said, “Lil Sis, you’re right. If you only bid one buck higher than them, perhaps this bid would’ve been canceled.”
Nangong Yun conveniently left out the fact that even if Nuannuan bid a million bucks more, the s.h.i.+ family would still continue their pursuit.
However, he could not help but think that Nuannuan was right in everything she did. If the s.h.i.+ family really would not let the matter rest, she still had the Nangong family behind her back, right? If the s.h.i.+ family was unwilling to accept this reality, so be it. There was nothing to worry about.
The first thing s.h.i.+ Maode did after returning home was to tell s.h.i.+ Gen about Nangong Nuannuan intercepting the S-D plot of land. Originally, s.h.i.+ Gen was already suffering from a potential heart attack after Nangong Nuannuan took revenge on five of the s.h.i.+ family’s people. However, now that he suddenly heard that the plot of land had been intercepted, he was instantly triggered. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
The s.h.i.+ family was in chaos.
At the same time, the s.h.i.+ family, who had originally wanted to challenge the Nangong family, was now at odds with the Nangong family.
Nuannuan took the piece of land that she had won from the auction and went to the current headquarters of the Imperial Phoenix Group—the first building.
The moment she entered, security stopped Nuannuan.
“Miss, what can I do for you?”
“I’m looking for Aiden.”
After all, the plot of land had been acquired under the name of Tianheng Holdings. Feng Shengxuan was the vice president of Imperial Phoenix Group while Aiden was the vice president of Tianheng Holdings—this made Nuannuan casually mention Aiden.
The security guard did not expect Nangong Nuannuan to come here to look for their vice president. He sized her up and saw that she was so pretty, and his eyes lit up.
“This way, please. Miss, please register here.”
“Okay.”
Nuannaun did not reveal her ident.i.ty and followed the security guard to the registration counter.
Since Imperial Phoenix Group was one of the top three international giants in the world, even their selection of receptionists was very strict.
At first glance, the staff at the front desk looked pretty. She was tall, well-dressed, and had a friendly smile. She was very attractive.
Nuannuan was very satisfied with the appearance of the staff at the front desk. After all, it was Aiden, the man who was a sucker for good looks, who went through the employee application himself.
“Her’es another lady who wants to see Vice President Aiden. I brought her here to register.”
The five people at the front desk had been looking forward with smiles on their faces, but when they heard the security guard’s words, two of their expressions changed..
