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

A smile appeared on Chen Shan's face. She took out a card and handed it to Chen Hao, saying softly, "Xiao Hao, this is twenty million. I want to invest in your company."

"You've got money again?" Chen Hao mocked. "Didn't you give all your money to Chen Qian?"

What's going on here?

They really went to great lengths to lure him out!

Chen Shan gave an awkward smile, "Don't tell Xiao Qian about your secret stash of money."

You are both my younger brothers. I can't support him, but I can't support you.

I treat you all equally.

She only had 20 million yuan, which she had originally given to Chen Qian.

But in order to keep Chen Hao, she took the card back from Chen Qian.

It's fine if Chen Hao doesn't accept it, but it would be even better if he did. She's eyeing Chen Hao's company, and if she could get a piece of the pie, that would be even better.

After all, Chen Hao had taken many projects from her, and she had recently found out about those projects and made a lot of money.

She's so angry!

Those projects originally belonged to her!

Thinking of this, Chen Shan lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes.

"Oh? Treat everyone equally?" Chen Hao repeated slowly, then said indifferently, "I'm truly flattered."

Who would believe such nonsense?

Hearing Chen Hao's sarcastic tone, Chen Shan forced a smile, "Xiao Hao, your third sister is truly repentant, so please forgive her."

She never regretted what she had done in the past, but now she had to bow her head.

Chen Hao looked at her with amusement and probed, "You don't hold a grudge against me for slapping you in the face? You don't hold a grudge against me for stealing your project?"

"Hehe." Chen Shan laughed stiffly, lying through her teeth, "We're siblings, how could we hold a grudge overnight?"

I won't hold a grudge against my younger brother.

It's impossible not to hold a grudge, but now is not the time for revenge; we'll deal with it slowly later.

Chen Hao didn't miss the fleeting resentment in her eyes. He took Chen Shan's bank card and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

Chen Shan's face lit up with joy. "Then I'm considered a shareholder, right? When are we going to sign the agreement?"

Once she gets back 20 million from her investment, she can then invest in Chen Qian's company.

That way, she can just coast along and wait to die.

Bah, it's about living life to the fullest.

"What agreement? Didn't you lend me this money?" Chen Hao asked knowingly.

Chen Shan's smile froze, and she said incredulously, "I want to invest, not borrow money from you."

And how could you possibly be short of money?

The Gu family has plenty of money.

Chen Hao's face darkened. "I don't lack money, yet I'm asking you to invest."

"I'm not stupid, why would I wait for you to come and get something for nothing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside. "It seems we have nothing more to talk about."

Seeing him get up, a hint of panic flashed across Chen Shan's face. She glanced at her phone, but no messages came through.

She quickly reached out and grabbed Chen Hao's sleeve, "Okay, consider it a loan from me, just write me an IOU."

"An IOU?" Chen Hao pried her hands away and sneered, "Hmph, aren't we really siblings? Do we need to write an IOU?"

Did you write an IOU to Chen Qian when you lent him money?

He tossed the card to her and then walked outside.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shan quickly chased after him and called out, "Xiao Hao, wait!"

If you don't want to write, then don't write.

You're right, we're siblings, writing an IOU makes us feel distant.

After chasing for a few steps, she finally grabbed Chen Hao's sleeve at the door.

As she wished, Chen Hao stopped, turned around, and took the bank card she handed him. "Thank you, Third Sister."

Borrow? There's no way he'd lend it.

Consider this 20 million as compensation from Chen Shan for his emotional distress.

He can accept this money with a clear conscience, having wasted so much time here.

Having made 20 million for free, Chen Hao was in the mood for awkward small talk with Chen Shan.

The awkward conversation only ended when Chen Shan glanced at her phone.

"Xiao Hao, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest."

Chen Hao stood up lazily, stretched, and then walked outside.

Back in his room, he saw the moved folder and a smile crept onto his lips.

Everything was going according to his plan.

Perhaps because Chen Qian was focused on bidding for land, he didn't compete for any more projects that Chen Hao wanted to invest in.

Chen Hao successfully secured several projects.

Watching Chen Hao invest in one project after another, Gu Xingzhou cautiously reminded him, "Brother Hao, should we pause this project for now?"

It won't be long before the land is up for auction.

"If you don't save some money, you won't be able to get a ticket."

In his mind, once he decided to bid, he had to succeed; he couldn't afford to lose!

Especially losing to Gu Xingchi.

Chen Hao waved his hand dismissively, "If I can't get the shot, then forget it."

Gu Xingzhou stared blankly at Chen Hao and asked, "Brother Hao, I don't understand."

You seem to value this land auction, yet you haven't set aside any money.

To say you didn't value it is an exaggeration, considering you've written a huge amount of analysis data.

Why is that?

He couldn't understand Chen Hao's actions at the moment.

I don't know whether to take the picture or not.

"Ahem." Chen Hao coughed lightly, trying to comfort him, "Xingzhou, just let things take their course, don't be nervous."

If you can get a shot, great; if not, so be it.

We need to have the right mindset.

Gu Xingzhou nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Hao."

He sensed that Hao was hiding something from him, but he believed Hao had his reasons, and he was willing to pretend he knew nothing.

I trust Hao Ge's decision.

Seeing Gu Xingzhou's complete trust, Chen Hao felt a pang of guilt.

But for the sake of the plan, he could only silently say in his heart, "I'm sorry."

At the same time, Gu Xingchi was calling Chen Qian again, "I heard that Chen Hao's company is still investing?"

Where did they get the money?

He felt uneasy as he bid for land and continued to invest in projects.

Things seem to be going too smoothly.

Upon hearing this, a hint of jealousy flashed in Chen Qian's eyes, and he replied in a low voice, "I heard that Chen Hao made a lot of money gambling on stones."

What incredible luck! They made so much money gambling on jade.

Thinking about this, he couldn't resist the urge; perhaps he could also try his luck.

Chen Hao can make money, and so can he; his luck is no worse than Chen Hao's.

"Ha, what good luck!" Gu Xingchi said through gritted teeth.

He then instructed, "In Licheng, I'll take care of the other competitors and prevent them from bidding on the land in the east of the city. You keep a close eye on Chen Hao, understand?"

Chen Qian patted his chest and assured him, "Young Master Gu, don't worry, I know Chen Hao's bottom line. They're doomed to lose this time."

What he didn't say was that Chen Hao's bottom price was higher than their budget.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qian went back to work with a triumphant air.

A few days later, the date for the land auction was set.

May 20th will be an auspicious day for all matters.

The day before the auction, Chen Hao returned to the Chen family home and saw his mother and daughter, Chen Shan, blocking his way and looking at him aggressively.

Chen Hao's lips curled into a smile, and he asked with amusement, "You want to see me about something?"
