Meeting you in autumn

Time flies like an arrow; three years have passed in the blink of an eye...

Looking back, those boys with their innocent faces have now grown into handsome young men with elegant demeanor and dashing presence.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Jing Yi, who has now become a well-known and influential figure in the capital.

The Xingyi Group, which he co-founded with Chen Fang, Lu Chuan, and others, is developing rapidly and is unstoppable.

It used to be able to compete with Laicheng Group on equal footing.

But in just one year, it has soared to become the leading and largest conglomerate in Beijing.

Over the past few years, Jing Yi has weathered countless storms and encountered numerous attacks, both overt and covert.

The trials of time not only shed his former naiveté but also brought about a tremendous transformation in his character.

Nowadays, he has become increasingly ruthless and vicious, and his behavior has become increasingly cold and heartless.

At the same time, his own strength was greatly enhanced, and the sphere of influence he controlled far exceeded that of the Fu family and Guan family in City A, making him a powerful figure.

What's mysterious is that despite Xingyi Group's illustrious reputation and outstanding strength, few outsiders have actually seen the legendary boss behind it.

Jing Yi usually appears in various occasions as the current head of the Jing family.

"Brother Yi, the bidding starts tonight, we need to hurry up and leave!" As he spoke, Chen Fang slowly walked over.

He had shed his former naivety and ignorance, replaced by a mature and composed demeanor.

Upon hearing the sound, Jing Yi pinched the burning cigarette butt in his hand, the scarlet sparks flickering uncertainly in the darkness.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as cold as an icy pool, and asked in a chilling tone, "Where is Lu Chuan?"

The person standing to the side quickly replied, "He's on his way."

Jing Yi nodded expressionlessly, then said in a deep, almost crushing voice, "He will be the one to speak on tonight's bidding."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang showed a hint of doubt on his face, but he quickly concealed it and respectfully replied, "Okay, I'll call him right away."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and hurriedly left the spacious yet unusually deserted office.

At this moment, only Jing Yi's lonely figure remained in the entire office.

He slowly walked to the window, crossed his arms, and quietly gazed at the bustling crowds coming and going on the street below.

The laughter and busy figures of those people formed a stark contrast to his current state of mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yi suddenly let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with disdain and mockery that sent chills down one's spine.

At the same time, his eyes remained icy cold, like millennia-old ice, devoid of any warmth.

The atmosphere at the bidding site was tense and enthusiastic, with people from all over the place already in place, their eyes revealing their desire and determination for the competition.

Jing Yi, Chen Fang, and Lu Chuan sat in a room on the second floor, looking down at the crowd below.

Their expressions varied. Jing Yi was expressionless, seemingly deep in thought, while Chen Fang and Lu Chuan looked serious.

Suddenly, the host in charge of this event slowly walked onto the stage. His steps were steady, and every step carried a sense of confidence and authority.

He announced in a loud voice, "The bidding competition is now beginning. The first to appear is the Guan family from City A."

After saying that, he turned and walked off the stage.

Upon hearing the name Guan, the three people in the room on the second floor were stunned. Chen Fang and Lu Chuan subconsciously looked at Jing Yi.

However, Jing Yi did not make any move. His eyes remained calm and expressionless as he looked down.

The two then looked away, unaware that Jing Yi was trying hard to control the agitation in his heart.

His fingers trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion.

Below, Guan Yu was seen wearing a custom-made dress, the color of which was as dazzling as a gemstone, and the hem of the dress fluttered in the wind, like a blooming flower.

Her hair was loose, cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, instantly making her look much more mature.

Shen Chen was closely following her. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit with smooth lines, as if it had been made for him.

His steps were firm and powerful, each one filled with confidence.

Guan Yu smiled and said to Shen Chen, "Go for it, Shen Chen! I believe in you!"

Her smile was as radiant as the sun, captivating all who beheld it.

Shen Chen smiled indulgently and then began to walk onto the stage. His deep, magnetic voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

After a long while, Shen Chen said, "This concludes our company's proposal. Thank you everyone."

His words were concise and clear, yet full of power. A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted at the bidding site; it seemed everyone believed the bid was theirs.

Guan Yu, watching Shen Chen slowly walk over, said happily, "Brother Shen Chen, you're amazing! You spoke even better than me."

Her eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation.

Shen Chen looked at Guan Yu with a doting expression, then gently patted her head.

Guan Yu was startled by the sudden action. Her body trembled slightly, and she immediately dodged when Shen Chen tried to make another move.

She smiled and said, "Brother Shen Chen, let's go sit down first!"

Her smile held a hint of shyness and playfulness, making it hard not to look at her more.

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately went over and sat down. Shen Chen noticed that she had dodged earlier, but he didn't say anything and then followed her.

However, this scene was witnessed by Jing Yi without reservation. He saw Jing Yi clench his fists tightly, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

His lips trembled slightly, and his hoarse voice revealed a hint of determination: "Lu Chuan, I want you to win this competition!"

Lu Chuan, who was about to leave, was somewhat surprised by his words. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a serious expression.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Then he turned around and strode out, his steps steady and powerful.

Chen Fang looked at the two people below, then at Brother Yi, and shook his head helplessly.

"Next up is Beijing Xingyi Group." As soon as the host finished speaking, Lu Chuan slowly walked over.

His steps were light and confident, as if the entire stage was cheering for him.

He confidently presented his meticulously prepared slides, each one gleaming with wisdom.

His voice was clear and powerful, like a clear spring flowing into everyone's ears.

He elaborated on his plan and its advantages in detail, every word brimming with passion and confidence.

His professional knowledge and experience impressed everyone present, and their eyes followed Lu Chuan closely, as if they were attracted by his charm.
