After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"That's right, that's right. With Young Master Rong's strength, the Cheng family is simply overestimating themselves. How could they possibly compete with you for land?"

"Yes, let's not even mention Rong Shao's status as the head of the family. Just the title of chairman of Tianhuo Venture Capital is enough to exhaust the Cheng family's resources. How could they possibly be qualified to oppose you!"

"If you ask me, Cheng Junshan, as the head of the Cheng family, has built his fortune from scratch. Logically, he shouldn't be doing something so stupid... How come he's already in his fifties or sixties, yet he's doing something so foolish? He insists on humiliating himself by going against Young Master Rong. Isn't he just courting death?"

"Hmph, I think it's just that old man who's gotten too cocky! He thinks he's invincible just because he has some reputation in Jiangnan City, and that the Cheng family can look down on everyone else."

"I've disliked him for years. It's up to Young Master Rong to teach him a lesson!"

A group of wealthy social elites, worth hundreds of millions, suddenly turned into gossipy old men talking behind people's backs.

Moreover, each of them was clearly from Jiangnan City and had some business dealings with the Cheng family.

But when it came to criticizing Cheng Junshan, they all got really into it, and Rong Chengtian, an outsider, became their close friend.

"Thank you all for your support. I, Rong Chengtian, will certainly remember this kindness. It's getting late, so let's go into the auction hall now."

Rong Chengtian was quite pleased with the sycophantic behavior of the group.

The focus is not on Cheng Junshan, but on Chen Yun!

He wanted to use the Cheng family's failure to tell Chen Yun that even if he was a martial arts master, he still had to bow down to him in the business world!

Rong Chengtian also has his own pride.

As Rong Chengtian turned and left, the remaining few people exchanged glances and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Yang Tiancheng cleared his throat and spoke first: "Everyone, the effect looks pretty good. In any case, at least we've become somewhat well-known."

Zhang Bao nodded: "Although it's a bit awkward for an old man like me to praise a young man in his twenties, we can only blame Cheng Junshan for taking the wrong path."

“That’s right!” Wang Qiming’s eyes were filled with disgust and disdain: “The Changhong Bay project originally had nothing to do with the Cheng family. After the project was completed and Rong Chengtian was kicked out, Cheng Junshan would still be the boss of Jiangnan City. But this old guy didn’t know what was wrong with him. He didn’t even know his own limitations and insisted on going against Rong Chengtian!”

"He doesn't even consider how many people have business dealings with the Cheng family. If the Cheng family falls, we will all be affected!"

“But the difference in strength between the Cheng family and the Rong family is too great. In this absurd situation of an egg hitting a rock, who can continue to believe him?” He Wen’an said in a low voice. “We’ve been friends for more than ten years. If he hadn’t gone astray, why would we have come to this?”

"Forget it, once we've built a good relationship with Rong Chengtian and transferred the business back, everything will be much easier to resolve. Considering we've known each other for so many years, I'll try to help him out then, at least to prevent him from falling too low."

"Since that's the case, and our objective has been achieved, everyone can leave now."

Yang Tiancheng nodded.

"Okay."

The others nodded in agreement.

One minute later.

None of the four men lifted their legs to leave.

"We agreed to leave, so why isn't any of you moving?" Yang Tiancheng asked.

"What about you? Why didn't you leave first?" Zhang Bao questioned.

"Nonsense, how could I not go and see such a big land auction?"

As he spoke, Yang Tiancheng pulled out a white certificate contract from his pocket. "Look, I even got the bidding qualification certificate done. It cost me several thousand yuan, I can't just throw it away, can I?"

"What a coincidence, I got one too!" Zhang Bao's eyes lit up as he pulled out an identical certificate from his pocket, except this one had his name and company printed on it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bao and Yang Tiancheng saw the eyes of the remaining two people also light up... Four identical qualification certificates were pulled out.

"Very well, you're all so cunning and shrewd. Do you also have designs on this land auction?" Yang Tiancheng said suspiciously.

"What a load of rubbish! The three plots of land in Changhong Bay would conservatively fetch around 2 billion yuan at auction. Even if you took my life, I couldn't come up with that much money!" Zhang Bao waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't even mention you, even if all four of us were together, we couldn't possibly come up with that amount of cash flow. Zhang Bao, you don't need to belittle yourself here."

"So everyone's thoughts were the same—to watch the show!" Yang Tiancheng laughed heartily.

"It's not just us. Most of the people who came to the auction today are just here to watch the excitement. If you want to say that there are really three or four people who are interested in bidding for the land, then there are probably only the Cheng family and Rong Chengtian among them."

As Zhang Bao spoke, he looked up and scanned the room, a hint of doubt creeping in: "Speaking of which, the auction is about to begin in about ten minutes. Have you seen any members of the Cheng family?"

“Yes, I thought it was strange earlier. Old man Cheng Junshan always arrives twenty minutes early. Today is a moment that concerns the fate of the Cheng family, so there's no reason for him to be later than usual... Not only him, but also Cheng He and Cheng Qingyue, the two younger ones, didn't come—did something happen in between?”

Yang Tiancheng also found it a bit strange.

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? With Cheng Junshan's cautious nature, how could he possibly make a mistake on such an important matter? I think he's probably planning something big!"

“We’re all from Jiangnan City, and we’ve known Cheng Junshan for over a decade. Don’t you understand this old guy’s style?” He Wen’an smiled, completely unconcerned.

Just kidding. They're all in business, and it's no exaggeration to say that Cheng Junshan climbed to the top by stepping on their heads—in terms of shrewdness, temperament, and ability, none of them can compare to Cheng Junshan... Although it's unclear why he's going all out to fight Rong Chengtian to the death this time, since he's already shown such decisiveness, there's no reason for him to back down now that the auction has started.

"Yes, that makes sense. Everyone knows that the Cheng family's strength is far inferior to Rong Chengtian's. If Cheng Junshan wants to win this bet, he will naturally have to come up with some other means. His delayed appearance is less a matter of an accident and more a sign that he is probably planning something big!"

"Let's go, everyone, let's go in and have a good look at this power struggle between the top families!"

Yang Tiancheng took the lead and walked into the auction house.
