“Any other bids?” Mayor Jiang called.

Of the three bidding companies only Minghai Group had held on, and finally Huo Yunting opened his eyes as he calmly spat out a number.

“5 billion!”

And suddenly, the hall broke into an uproar.

The two other companies that had already given up looked at each other, and shook their head.

As expected of Huo Yunting!

When he strikes, he strikes hard!

The chairman of Minghai Group’s heart sank, and Huo Yunting’s silence earlier had given him some hope, but who knew that hope would be so swiftly crushed.

He tried to open his mouth in protest but in the end, he finally resigned to put down his number placard, and had clearly looked like he had given up.

Huo Yunting’s offer had overwhelmed his compet.i.tors in one single blow, and Mayor Jiang was not surprised at this result.

He nodded, and lifted his hammer, ready to call the end of this tender bidding process.

And just before that happened, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“5.5 billion!”

“…..”

And suddenly the entire hall was stunned.

Who?

Everyone followed the source of the voice, and a person holding his number placard high… it was Xiang Jinxi.

He had paid no attention to the stunned gazes training on him, and simply looked on at the stage. On his calm face, an imperceptible curve appeared on his lips as his elation seeped out.

Lu Zhaoyang who had already heaved her sigh of relief suddenly tensed up, as she quietly clenched her fist, and whispered. “What’s this? How did Xiang Jinxi cough up that amount of money? Based on Xiangyuan’s scale now, he would be hard pressed to even get two billion, and I did not even get any news of him getting any investments!”

“Don’t panic,” Huo Yunting said as he raised his placard, “Six billion.”

How could she not panic!

Lu Zhaoyang was literally a fish in a frying pan and she was frowning hard, before continued with a tone that only both of them could hear. “We have only prepared 7 billion for this, if Xiang Jinxi has more than that with him, we’re done for!”

For the past six months, Thunderbolt had been fighting Xiangyuan, and s.n.a.t.c.hed quite a number of projects from them.

While this had expanded the scale of the corporation, but it had reduced their available cash flow.

Plus, the tender of this project is given out through a bid.

And the price of five billion to take this project is already too expensive.

Who knew that Xiang Jinxi had suddenly joined in, and caught them off guard!

“6.5 billion.”

Xiang Jinxi once again raised his placard, and looked sideways at Huo Yunting. Seeing that he was his usual calm self, he sneered. Just as he was about to turn away, he caught him in the eyes.

The ridicule and contempt within the gaze was like a blade, and stabbed directly at Xiang Jinxi’s person.

“Heh.”

He smirked , before looking away.

What right did Huo Yunting had to laugh at him?

The one laughing in the end will be him, Xiang Jinxi!

“Seven billion!”

Huo Yunting, with his usual aloof manner, increased his bid, as if victory was a.s.sured.

Lu Zhaoyang bid her lips, and reflexively looked at Xiang Jinxi, her eyes filled with anxiousness.

If Xiang Jinxi was not suppressed by that, Thunderbolt would really lose!

And within the bright city hall, the smell of gun smoke silently permeated through it.
