Chapter 122: Chapter 121: List of Winning Bidders Announced in Investment
Xu Fei gracefully walked over to Chen Yufei, bending down to take a list from his hand.
As she bent over, she intentionally thrust out her shapely behind, drawing the unwavering gaze of several businessmen, who swallowed hard.
"What a seductive woman, when I become a big boss one day, I'll also hire an assistant like this, Chairman Gu, don't you think the same?"
Sitting next to Gu Yu, the chairman of Origami Network, Wei Tong widened his small eyes and pursed his thick lips forcefully.
He turned his head to look at Gu Yu, but was met with a hand blocking Gu Yu's face:
"No looking...!"
Lin Xinyue stretched her hand over Gu Yu's eyes, glaring at him warningly.
"I'm not looking, I'm not looking, there's nothing to see here!"
Gu Yu quickly closed his eyes and shook his head, insincerely agreeing.
Seeing that he could restrain himself, Lin Xinyue then satisfyingly withdrew her hand.
"I see you've got it under control!"
Gu Yu turned his face, staring at Lin Xinyue, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to her prominent features.
Click! It had to be said, Lin Xinyue's figure was quite impressive!
Where it should be convex, it was convex; where it should be concave, it was concave.
"!!! No way!"
Lin Xinyue, seeing his wandering gaze, quickly covered the neckline of her inner shirt.
"Are you guarding against even your own people?"
Gu Yu withdrew his gaze, unable to help but curl his lip and say,
"Hmph! There are so many people here! Don't do that!"
Lin Xinyue haughtily turned away, murmuring softly.
Gu Yu's eyes lit up. Too many people?
Does that mean he could look when others aren't around?
"Oh~ I get it~ when we get back, I can appreciate slowly, hehe."
Gu Yu revealed an expression as if he had just understood.
Looking at his mischievous smile, Lin Xinyue knew he had misunderstood her point.
What she meant was: There are so many people here, she was reminding Gu Yu to consider the effects!
"You're so lecherous!"
Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him.
Gu Yu shrugged and gestured toward Wei Tong, who was staring intently, implying: Will you look at this guy?
"You men are all the same... despicable!"
Lin Xinyue contemptuously whispered, her ears turning slightly red.
Fortunately, by then, Xu Fei had already walked up to the podium and started to announce the winning bidders.
She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and then bowed deeply to the attendees below.
A visible gap at the snowy mountain range was fully exposed.
A few businessmen stretched their necks, nearly standing up, almost leaving their seats to get a better look.
But Xu Fei had already straightened up, leaving them to regretfully shake their heads and sit back down. Explore more at мѵʟ
It had to be said, Xu Fei's appearance was that of an intellectual beauty, and coupled with her curvy figure and well-fitting business suit, not many men could completely resist her allure.
"Everyone, I will now announce the list of winning bidders! Please pay attention to the company names!"
As Xu Fei spoke, a half-bald businessman jokingly shouted from below: "Assistant Xu, if we win the bid, can we take you with us?"
Hearing this businessman's joke, Xu Fei didn't get angry, but gracefully smiled at him: "I can't decide that, Manager Chen needs to nod in agreement!"
She looked at Chen Yufei, who raised his head and laughed:
"Chairman Wu sure holds Assistant Xu in high regard, but I only have one assistant like her. She helps me handle all sorts of big and small tasks, I can hardly bear to part with her, haha."
"There are many talents like Assistant Xu, Chairman Wu will definitely find someone better."
Chen Yufei politely said a few words, then turned his head to Xu Fei: "Let's begin! Don't keep everyone waiting too long."
Xu Fei slightly bowed with a smile and then began to read from the list announcing the winning companies.
Everyone in the audience sat up straight, for to them, women inevitably didn't hold as much allure as money and business!
"I announce! The first winning company is: Neidie Network, President Xu Hao! Investment amount: 5 million yuan! Let's congratulate President Xu!"
Xu Fei read out the first name and looked towards Xu Hao, the slim and capable General Manager who was the first to take the stage earlier.
Although she had not participated in the meeting halfway through, she had already memorized the names, companies, and corresponding faces of every participant when she welcomed them at the venue.
As an executive assistant, she naturally possessed outstanding abilities and did not rely solely on her looks to advance.
Xu Hao stood up, waved to everyone, and then bowed to Chairman Chen Yufei and the four supervisors seated prominently.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen and all the supervisors! After receiving the investment, I will surely use this money to vigorously develop Neidie Network and live up to Shengda's recognition!"
Xu Hao's face was full of smiles, and although he appeared very excited, his expression was actually very calm upon a closer look.
It seemed everything was within his expectations.
While Xu Hao remained composed, Wei Tong was not.
He never expected that Xu Hao, who was the first to take the stage for the bidding, would also be the first to win the bid!
Was Neidie Network as strong as his Origami Network?
Neidie won the bid!?
Wei Tong could hardly believe his ears and eyes; he found this result utterly unacceptable.
He glanced at Xu Fei, suppressing his confusion and incomprehension.
"Maybe this time they will invest in two female-oriented game companies?" Wei Tong comforted himself inwardly.
But his pounding heart betrayed his nervousness.
Gu Yu was also puzzled, but upon reflecting, he felt a sense of expected resignation.
It wouldn't be surprising if this Xu Hao, like Bi Jian, had already bribed these supervisors and Chen Yufei.
Since Wei Tong did not pay, naturally he had no chance!
Even though investing was entirely Shengda's prerogative, the malpractice of backstage manipulation, while still putting on an open and fair façade, was utterly despicable!
Typical of playing the virtuous while being a scoundrel.
Gu Yu was instantly disappointed with this symposium.
Indeed, his decision not to participate in the bidding was correct; even if he had prepared, it would have all been in vain!
The people in the audience were superficially clapping, each with their own thoughts.
Those who already knew the results patiently waited for Xu Fei to mention their names, those who had prepared for a long time still fantasized about winning, and some with broader minds had also begun to suspect something was amiss.
But no matter what they thought, Xu Fei continued reading out the list onstage.
"Second place, Bo Ge Technology, Chairman Hong Mo! The bid was six million yuan! Congratulations!"
"Third place, Junhua Network, Chairman Mo Duanbin, the bid was ten million yuan! Congratulations!"
"Fourth place, …"
One after another company and name were announced; some in the audience cheered, some grieved, and others could no longer keep their composure.
They simply didn't understand why they hadn't won the bid, given their companies' development and overall profits placed them among the best.
But they just didn't win the bid!
"What's going on?"
"Our Huafeihua Network didn't win a bid?"
"This…"
Xu Fei disregarded the increasingly loud murmurs from below and continued reading:
"The sixth winner, Sword Barrier Network, General Manager Bi Jian, the bid was eight million yuan! Congratulations!"
As expected! Just as Gu Yu had predicted, Bi Jian was on the list!
Bi Jian stood up, waved to everyone, and his eyes were full of contempt and disdain when he looked at Gu Yu.
Knowing that Bi Jian engaged in backroom dealings, Gu Yu just smiled indifferently.
This kind of opponent was simply not worth his serious attention!
Just as everyone thought the announcement of the list had concluded, Xu Fei suddenly spoke again:
"The seventh place! A special slot, Ideal Paradise! The bid was ten million yuan! Congratulations to Chairman Gu Yu!!!"
Her face beaming with smiles, she looked at Gu Yu and raised her voice slightly as she read out this list.
Just as Gu Yu was about to gather his things and leave, he abruptly looked up, completely astonished.
"I didn't pay for it!"
He blurted out instinctively.
