After the universally disliked young master is reborn, the older sisters panic.

Chen Qian replied excitedly, "Young Master Gu, even if you don't tell me, I'll still find out. You can rest assured when I handle things."

"Okay, keep in touch." Gu Xingchi hung up the phone.

Having received confirmation, Chen Qian began to take action.

Chen Qian kept inquiring about the land in the east of the city, and Gu Xingzhou found out. He found Chen Hao and shouted angrily, "Brother Hao, they are shameless."

They're trying to take our land again.

Are they brainless?

They won't invest themselves, but instead they rob others.

It really pissed him off!

Chen Hao waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind them. Let's start preparing the bidding materials. We'll just wait for the relevant departments to start the auction, and then we'll go and bid."

"Huh?" Gu Xingzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Hao, are we really going to bid? Didn't you say you'd invest in real estate during the summer vacation?"

A hint of unease flashed across Chen Hao's face, then he explained in a low voice, "We'll try to bid. If we succeed, we'll start building the house. If we don't, there's no rush."

I'll enter the real estate industry when I have more funds during the summer break.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Gu Xingzhou the truth; he was worried that Gu Xingzhou wouldn't be able to keep it a secret and would ruin the plan.

If the plan succeeds, Chen Qian will be devastated.

Gu Xingzhou had no suspicions. "Okay, I'll start preparing the materials."

"Go."

Gu Xingzhou acted quickly, and Chen Hao received the information in just a few days.

After glancing at the information, he set the starting bid.

That day, Chen Hao returned to the Chen family home with a folder containing documents.

Upon entering the living room, one could see Chen Qian talking to Chen's parents, with Chen Shan responding to them from the side.

"Xiao Qian, does your company need more money? I have some savings here, I can give them to you," Chen Shan said with a fawning expression.

She was filled with regret; who knew Chen Qian had such ability to hook up with the eldest son of the Gu family?

If she had invested in Chen Qian's company back then, she could be sitting here making money right now.

With the support of the Gu family, even if they don't make a lot of money, they still make a considerable amount.

Chen Qian revealed a smug smile, raised his head high, and said sarcastically, "Third Sister, where were you all this time?"

You didn't think much of my company back then, did you? What are you thinking now?

Hmph, back then he shamelessly asked her for money, but she stingily gave him a million to get rid of him.

Now you want to invest again?

Don't even think about joining unless you put up ten million!

"Hehe." Chen Shan laughed awkwardly, "At that time, I really didn't have any money."

My previous investments have started to make money, which is why I'm able to lend you the money.

If she had known they were going to enter the real estate industry, she would have invested long ago.

With the real estate market so hot right now, anyone who gets involved can make a fortune; she was really envious.

Chen Qian snorted coldly, "I don't need your little bit of money right now. What can a million do?"

"I'm offering 20 million this time, not 1 million," Chen Shan quickly shouted.

She invested all the cash she had.

Chen Qian nodded reluctantly, "Alright then."

"I'll accept it since you're my third sister."

Money delivered to your doorstep is money you shouldn't refuse.

Then he turned around and saw Chen Hao walking towards the stairs, and quickly called out, "Brother, wait a minute."

Chen Hao turned around, looked him up and down, and chuckled, "What do you want with me?"

"I heard you're also going to participate in the bidding for the land in the east of the city?" Chen Qian looked at the documents in his hand, a calculating glint in his eyes.

I was just worried about how to get Chen Hao's bottom price, but I didn't expect to be so lucky.

He had a feeling that Chen Hao's bottom line was definitely in this document.

"We were the ones who initially had our eye on this project, but somehow someone leaked the word, and now a whole bunch of people are competing for it," Chen Hao replied casually.

He hadn't expected there to be so many bidders.

After all, the plot of land is very small, and at most four buildings can be built on it, otherwise it wouldn't be sold so cheaply.

The increased number of bidders has added considerable obstacles to his plans.

Chen Hao was unaware that his every move was being watched by the merchants of Licheng.

Seeing that both factions of the Gu family were interested in this piece of land, they wanted to gain some benefit from it.

Chen Qian's expression stiffened slightly, then he said angrily, "If you hadn't publicized it so much, how would they have known?"

They thought Chen Hao was their only rival, but now there are so many competitors, making it a bit difficult to acquire the land in the east of the city.

But with the Gu family as his backing, he was confident he could acquire the land in the east of the city as long as he knew Chen Hao's bottom price.

"Is it my fault?" Chen Hao sneered. "Speak quickly if you have something to say. I'm not as free as you. I'm busy making plans."

"What's your bottom line?" Chen Qian asked bluntly.

Her eyes were fixed on the folder in his hand.

Chen Hao scoffed, "Are you stupid, or am I stupid?"

This is a trade secret; would I tell my competitors?

I thought Chen Qian would come up with some trick to get the bottom price from him, but I didn't expect him to be so direct.

Chen Qian's face flushed slightly, and he exclaimed in embarrassment and annoyance, "Brother, just give up participating in this auction."

"Why should I give up? If you want the land, we'll each rely on our own abilities." Chen Hao refused without hesitation.

Chen Qian choked, speechless.

At this moment, Chen Shan spoke up, saying in the tone of an elder, "Xiao Hao, why bother with so much when we're family?"

"You've invested in so many projects, where would you find the energy to get into real estate? Why not let Xiaoqian handle it?"

Now that Xiaoqian's business is also her business, she will naturally help Xiaoqian without reservation.

Chen Hao sneered, "Family? There are no fathers and sons in the business world, don't talk to me about family ties!"

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, do we even have that kind of thing between us?"

It's a fight to the death between them, so why bother pretending to be friendly and talking about family ties?

The Chen family members are just a bit mentally unstable and refuse to believe this fact.

Chen Qian gave a fake laugh, "Brother, are you still holding a grudge about what happened before?"

That was all a misunderstanding, so please don't take it to heart.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes. "Alright, you guys chat, I have something to do."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs without any politeness.

Upon seeing this, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.

Chen Qian clenched his hands in anger, and ran to find his mother in frustration.

He looked pitifully at Chen's mother and pleaded softly, "Mom, please ask my brother to put in a good word for me and make him give up this land auction."

Chen's mother looked troubled, and replied with evasive eyes, "How about we ask Young Master Gu for help? I can't order Xiao Hao to do something he doesn't want to do."

Before getting the jade bracelet she had been longing for, she decided not to offend Chen Hao.

She didn't want to lose her bracelet because of this.

Faced with the choice between her beloved Xiao Qian and the bracelet, she chose the latter, and she would treat Chen Qian even better from now on.

Chen Qian's eyes darkened, then he put on a wronged expression and whispered, "Okay."

If I don't get the land this time, Young Master Gu will be dissatisfied with me.

They might withdraw their investment, and my company would have to go out of business.
