Three days later.
Lin Zhenxiong arrived at the Black Dragon real estate bidding, and coincidentally ran into Chen Xuan.
"President Lin, are you also interested in this project?" Chen Xuan asked with a playful smile.
Lin Zhenxiong said coldly, "Of course. No matter what, I have to try my luck!"
"Then you might be disappointed!"
Chen Xuan said playfully, "This project can only be my Chen family's. You have no hope. Your Lin family can just wait for its demise!"
"We'll see!"
Lin Zhenxiong had a bad premonition. The Chen family and the Black Dragon Society already had a good relationship, so it was unlikely he would get this project.
But since he was here, he could only try his luck for now.
Just then, the Black Dragon, who was in charge of the bidding, walked over.
Chen Xuan looked at the annoyed Lin Zhenxiong, gave a smug smile, and then walked towards the Black Dragon.
"Long time no see, President Black Dragon. Your complexion seems to be getting better and better!" Chen Xuan flattered him, as the Black Dragon had always appeared sickly before.
"Mm."
The Black Dragon nodded slightly and continued to walk forward, as Chen Xuan was not his target.
Although Chen Xuan was confused, he quickly understood. After all, the Black Dragon had always had an attitude of disliking everyone.
"I'll let you be smug for now. Once I've dealt with the Lin family, it will be the end of your Black Dragon Society!"
Chen Xuan sneered inwardly. The Black Dragon Society had always been a stumbling block to the Chen family's dominance in Jiangnan. However, for the time being, he had to endure it for a while longer.
Just then, the usually arrogant Black Dragon's expression suddenly changed. He warmly said to Lin Zhenxiong, "President Lin, your presence at the bidding truly makes Black Dragon real estate shine!"
"What?"
Disbelief flashed in Lin Zhenxiong's eyes. Although the Lin family had some status in Jiangnan, they were not really in the Black Dragon's eyes.
"Could he also be coveting the Lin family's assets?"
Chen Xuan, who was not far away, felt a tightening in his heart. The Lin family's assets were his to claim. If the Black Dragon Society wanted a share, his obstacles would be much greater.
Before Lin Zhenxiong could react, the Black Dragon quickly said, "Quick, quick, please come in!"
The Black Dragon did not dare to neglect Lin Zhenxiong, as Lin Tianxin was a woman favored by the boss. If he offended Lin Zhenxiong, he might displease the boss, and his good days would be over.
Lin Zhenxiong was also a little flattered and followed the Black Dragon inside.
...
Although many people attended the bidding conference, they were merely going through the motions. Everyone knew that this project had already been reserved for the Chen family.
At this moment, the Black Dragon, who had arranged Lin Zhenxiong in the VIP seat, announced, "I believe everyone knows that my Black Dragon real estate has a project worth one billion that needs to be developed. I won't say much more. Please state your bids!"
Concise and to the point, it was in line with the Black Dragon's personality.
"With such a large project, only my Chen family can handle it! Therefore, my Chen family is willing to take over entirely and only ask for forty percent of the profits!"
As soon as Chen Xuan bid, everyone shook their heads. Although some of them could afford it, they dared not compete with Chen Xuan.
"Anything else?"
The Black Dragon swept his gaze over everyone with a cold look.
"My Lin family is also willing to develop it fully, only asking for thirty percent of the profits!"
Lin Zhenxiong bid without hesitation.
Everyone chuckled. The Lin family was already on the verge of collapse. As long as the Black Dragon was not stupid, he would not let the Lin family win the bid. Besides, would the Black Dragon Society offend the Chen family for one percent of the profit? At this moment, Lin Zhenxiong was just a clown in their eyes.
In fact, Lin Zhenxiong knew there was little hope, but he was willing to give it a try.
Chen Xuan sneered. He was very confident that this project belonged to the Chen family.
However, at this moment, the Black Dragon announced, "Very well, then this project will be developed by the Lin family!"
"What?"
Everyone was completely stunned and could hardly believe their ears.
Even the usually calm Chen Xuan was greatly surprised at this moment. After all, he had already spoken to the Black Dragon on the phone last night. This outcome was beyond his expectations.
"Let my Lin family develop it?"
Lin Zhenxiong looked at the Black Dragon doubtfully, his first thought being that this might be a trap.
The Black Dragon smiled and said, "Of course, I trust President Lin's character. We should cooperate more in the future!"
"Yes, yes!"
Although Lin Zhenxiong did not understand what the Black Dragon meant, he quickly agreed.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was the most agitated. He immediately said, "President Black Dragon, if it's just a matter of profit, my Chen family is willing to accept only twenty percent!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this, not expecting Chen Xuan to concede such a large portion of the profit.
However, the Black Dragon said displeasurably, "I will give it to whomever I Black Dragon wishes. Even if you don't want one percent, I won't give it to you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was completely stunned. Was the Black Dragon going to fall out with the Chen family?
Chen Xuan was furious, but he continued, "President Black Dragon must also understand that, as it stands, the Lin family cannot come up with so much cash! Aren't you afraid the Lin family will mess up this project?"
"My Lin family will find a way, and you don't need to worry about it, Young Master Chen!" Lin Zhenxiong retorted. Did he really think he had no temper?
However, the Black Dragon said, "Regarding the funds, President Lin has no need to worry. I, Black Dragon real estate, will advance ten billion yuan first!"
At this moment, the entire venue erupted in discussion. Earlier, they were unsure, but now they were certain: the Black Dragon Society was about to completely break ties with the Chen family! However, with the strength of the Black Dragon Society, they did have the qualifications.
"President Black Dragon, are you intentionally trying to oppose my Chen family?"
Chen Xuan's face sank, the threat evident in his words.
"What are you, Chen family? When has my Black Dragon Society ever had to kowtow to your Chen family?"
The Black Dragon angrily rebuked, "Show the guests out!"
At this time, Lei Bao approached Chen Xuan. "Young Master Chen, please leave!"
"I hope President Black Dragon will conduct himself with propriety!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Bao shouted, "If you don't get out, I'll personally escort you out!"
"Hmph!"
Chen Xuan, having been humiliated, immediately left, and everyone else also slunk away.
Lin Zhenxiong did not believe that the Black Dragon Society had turned against the Chen family for his sake. It was more likely that the two sides had been at loggerheads for a long time.
At this moment, the Black Dragon said to Lin Zhenxiong with a smile, "President Lin, let's go with a three-seven split on the profits. How about Black Dragon Society gets three and you get seven?"
"This..." Lin Zhenxiong asked timidly, "Is it true?"
"Of course, it's true. President Lin, let's sign the contract!"
...
Until he returned home, Lin Zhenxiong still felt as if he were dreaming. He didn't believe that the Black Dragon Society had any ulterior motives towards the Lin family, as there was nothing about the current Lin family that could attract the Black Dragon Society!
"Dad! What are you thinking about?"
Lin Tianxin asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Lin Zhenxiong said, "Tianxin, you're here at the right time. Your father has successfully secured the Black Dragon Society's project, but I can't understand why the Black Dragon Society would give me such preferential treatment!"
As soon as he said this, Lin Tianxin's first thought was that Yun Fan, that hypocritical person, had arranged it, since that guy was the boss of the Black Dragon Society.
"This project, my Lin family doesn't care for it!"
After saying that, Lin Tianxin left in a huff.
Leaving behind a bewildered Lin Zhenxiong.
...
"Have you found out?"
Chen Xuan, who had just vented his anger, asked his subordinate.
His subordinate quickly reported, "Young Master, the reason the Black Dragon Society is favoring the Lin family is because of Yun Fan!"
"Why?"
Chen Xuan asked, confused.
"Because Yun Fan has already taken control of the Black Dragon Society, and he is now the one in charge!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed. At first, he had not paid much attention to Yun Fan. In his eyes, even if Yun Fan had some strength, so what?
It would not affect him at all. As long as Bai Xiaotian arrived, Yun Fan would surely die. Therefore, he had not paid much attention to him.
He never expected that Yun Fan had already amassed such power inadvertently. He wondered if Yun Fan had also cured the Black Dragon's injuries.
"I have underestimated you."
Chen Xuan said coldly, "Capture Bai Xiaotian's daughter and force Bai Xiaotian to come to Jiangnan quickly. If this person is not eliminated, I will not have peace of mind!"
"Yes!"
...
"Boss, I refused the Chen family and handed the Black Dragon real estate project to the Lin family!"
Yun Fan, who was out shopping, received a report from the Black Dragon.
"Well done!"
Yun Fan was very satisfied with the Black Dragon's decision. He was already worried about how to deal with the Chen family, and he never expected the Black Dragon to make such a move.
Although he had not yet given the order to deal with the Chen family to the Black Dragon before this, it was still a fortunate coincidence.
The Black Dragon on the other end of the phone sounded very excited after hearing Yun Fan's praise.
At this time, Yun Fan said, "Continue to target the Chen family. If you encounter any insurmountable trouble, call me, and I will solve it!"
"Yes!"
Although the Black Dragon did not know his boss's intentions, he obediently complied. After all, he had long been displeased with the Chen family, and now that his boss was here, he had no more worries.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Fan was filled with regret. He had been so focused on dealing with the Chen family that he had forgotten to ask the Black Dragon to send some money over.
He cursed the Black Dragon for being clueless and not knowing how to send money to his boss, not being proactive at all.
"You scoundrel, why aren't you answering my calls?"
Hearing someone scolding him, Yun Fan turned around and saw Bai Zhilan. He then looked at his phone and saw four or five missed calls.
"Sorry, I was shopping and didn't hear it!"
Yun Fan explained. If he hadn't happened to check the time, he might not have even answered the Black Dragon's call.
"But why are you calling me? Don't tell me you think I'm handsome and have fallen for me!" Yun Fan asked, tearing open a soy milk he had just bought from a roadside stall.
"Pfft! Who would fall for a scoundrel like you!"
As soon as Bai Zhilan finished speaking, Yun Fan used too much force, and the thick soy milk splashed all over her face.
"You bastard!"
Bai Zhilan cursed angrily while wiping her face with a tissue. The soy milk was not only sticky but also had a fishy smell, making her feel nauseous.
Yun Fan was also embarrassed and was about to apologize when he saw Bai Zhilan say unhappily, "Help me with something!"
"No time!"
"I'll pay you!"
"Then I have time!" Yun Fan agreed without thinking, as Bai Zhilan, this silly sweet girl, was really easy to earn money from.
Bai Zhilan gave him a contemptuous look and said, "I want you to help me deal with someone!"
"Who?"
"I don't know the name of this guy, but he killed my senior brother!"
