751 What’s Wrong with Being a Dog?
Facing Xu Pengcheng’s provocation, Ye Feng only smiled. He had already achieved his goal. This guy probably didn’t have the ability to cause trouble for him anymore.
As soon as he withdrew from the competition, the others would not follow suit. In the end, Xu Pengcheng bought the land at a sky-high price of 1.05 billion.
When the host announced the final result, Xu Pengcheng suddenly had mixed feelings.
In a moment of hot-headedness, he changed the family’s original plan without authorization. With such a high price, he bought this plot of land that was not within the plan. It could be said that he took a huge risk.
Thinking about it now, he felt very regretful.
If this piece of land did not rise in value in the end, he would become a big sinner of the family. Not to mention keeping his current position, the people in the family would probably skin him alive.
Now, he could only hope that his ‘channels’ were reliable, otherwise… He really did not dare to think about the consequences.
After a few more pieces of land were auctioned, it was finally the turn of lot 066. The starting price of this piece of land was 300 million.
Just as the host finished speaking, Ye Feng slowly raised his hand. “301 million!”
Because the land auction stipulated that each bid increase could not be less than 1 million, he directly added 1 million on top of the starting price.
Those who were originally prepared to participate in the auction once again tactfully gave up on competing.
Xu Pengcheng clenched his fists. This piece of land was the one that the Xu family had originally planned to bid for, but he no longer had the funds to participate in the competition.
In the end, this piece of land fell into Ye Feng’s pocket without any surprises.
The land auction hall immediately erupted into a round of applause. These people seemed to be afraid that Ye Feng could not hear their applause. They clapped louder and louder. Some even stood up and clapped.
Ye Feng could only stand up and wave to everyone. He acted like a big boss.
Xu Pengcheng gritted his teeth when he saw this. He had spent more than 1 billion just now, but there were only a few claps.
And Ye Feng had only spent so little money, but it had already caused such a huge reaction. This comparison made him even more depressed.
After this piece of land was auctioned off, the land auction ended.
But everyone was not in a hurry to leave. They rushed to Ye Feng and congratulated him.
These people were obviously here to flatter him. The piece of land that Ye Feng won was not the most valuable one today, and no one was competing with him. There was nothing to congratulate him about.
But one should not hit a smiling person. Ye Feng naturally accepted everyone’s goodwill.
Just as the atmosphere was very harmonious, a discordant voice suddenly appeared. “Hehe, you guys are all reputable people in the real estate industry, but now you’re so submissive to be someone else’s dog. I’m embarrassed for you.”
Everyone turned around and saw Xu Pengcheng looking at them with a mocking expression.
“Xu Pengcheng, we didn’t offend you, did we? Do you have to be weird?”
“That’s right. We’re congratulating Mr. Ye. What does it matter to you? Why are you biting like a mad dog?”
“You’ve been competing with Mr. Ye today. I don’t know where you get your confidence from.”
“If your family knew that you offended Mr. Ye like this, I wonder how they would react?”
“Besides, what’s wrong with being a dog? There are many people who wanted to be Mr. Ye’s dog, but not everyone is qualified.”
“What you said makes sense. I like it…”
Everyone immediately criticized Xu Pengcheng. They bowed and scraped in front of Ye Feng, but it did not mean that they would do the same to others.
Xu Pengcheng continued to sneer in the face of everyone’s criticism. “You suck up to a dog, and in the end, you’ll have nothing. I would like to see what benefits you can get from him in the end.”
Ye Feng glanced at him indifferently. “Those who flatter me might not get any benefits. However, those who make enemies of me will definitely not have a good ending.”
Xu Pengcheng retorted fearlessly, “You scared me to death. I only had a fair competition with you, and you want me to have a bad ending? Mr. Ye is really impressive. Could it be that the surname of Yang Cheng is Ye?”
Ye Feng did not show his emotions. “Don’t worry, I will not touch a single finger of yours, but your death is not far away.”
Xu Pengcheng became even more disdainful. “Hehe, others might be afraid of you, Mr. Ye, but I’m not! You can use whatever methods you have. I, Xu Pengcheng, am not someone who can be scared. You want to scare me? No way!”
All the real estate developers were shocked. They did not know where this Xu Pengcheng got his confidence from. He actually dared to openly fall out with Ye Feng.
Didn’t this guy know what happened to Niu Sidun, Gao Junming, and the Ye family?
However, there were also some people who admired his courage.
Right now, in the entire Yang Cheng, there were not many people who dared to openly challenge Ye Feng.
No matter what others thought, the name Xu Pengcheng would soon spread throughout the entire Yang Cheng. Everyone would know that there was such a person who dared to challenge Ye Feng.
At that moment, everyone was secretly observing Ye Feng’s expression. They wanted to see how he would retaliate.
If he didn’t fight back when he was publicly challenged, who would take Mr. Ye seriously in the future?
Just as everyone was guessing Ye Feng’s counterattack, Chen Xuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed.
Her smile was simply mesmerizing.
Everyone’s hearts were racing, but they quickly shifted their gazes away, afraid that Ye Feng would remember them.
Xu Pengcheng looked at her coldly. “What are you laughing at?”
Chen Xuan gradually stopped smiling and looked at him with pity. “I’m laughing because some people don’t even know that they’re about to die, yet they still dare to spout nonsense here. How pitiful and ridiculous.”
Xu Pengcheng looked confused. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Chen Xuan didn’t continue to keep him in suspense and directly pointed it out. “Because the piece of land you bid for is just a piece of garbage land. It’s worth at most 300 to 400 million. But you spent more than 1 billion to buy it. You’re really smart!”
Xu Pengcheng’s expression changed drastically, and he almost roared, “Bullsh*t!”
“Mr. Xu, please mind your words and actions.”
Wei Changfeng who was standing at the side immediately warned him. He was obviously expressing his goodwill toward Ye Feng.
Xu Pengcheng knew that he had been too aggressive just now, so he calmed down a little and stared at Chen Xuan.
“You want to lie to me, right? I clearly heard the two of you talking this morning. He said that he got insider news that a piece of land is about to appreciate in value. And now you’re telling me that this piece of land is trash? Should I believe what you said or what he said?”
This time, before Chen Xuan could reply, Ye Feng had already said, “I did say that a piece of land was about to rise in value, but I didn’t say that it was the piece of land you bought.”
Xu Pengcheng looked at him. “You’re talking nonsense. If it wasn’t for this piece of land, why did you bid just now? And you even bid 1 billion? Oh, I understand, you see, I bought this piece of land, and you feel a little unsatisfied. You want to cheat me into selling it to you at a low price, right? How can you cheat me with your little thoughts?”
Ye Feng looked at him as if he was a fool. “Do you think I’m as stupid as you? Would I easily reveal my true purpose? The reason why I bid on that piece of land was just to lure you into taking the bait.”
