Chapter 1660: Devotion is the Most Heartless

Ever since Sheng Zihan found out he was Wang Qing's uncle, he broke up with his niece.

That scumbag turned around and got back together with his ex-girlfriend, while his own niece has remained listless and unable to pull herself together.

Today, he had his niece come over, firstly to support him, and secondly, he hoped his niece would pick a young talent at today's event and forget about Sheng Zihan.

Wang Qing gave a forced smile and said to her uncle, "Thank you, Uncle. You don't need to worry about my affairs. I'm still young and don't want to consider personal matters."

It wasn't that she didn't want to consider them, but that there was no one she could take a fancy to.

Her heart and eyes were filled only with Sheng Zihan; no one else could enter her heart.

But that person was truly heartless; he broke up with her and made a clean cut, and even when sitting in the same classroom, he wouldn't take a single look at her!

Sometimes when they walked past each other, he looked at her as if he didn't know her, without the slightest bit of lingering affection.

It was as if everything from the past was fake, just like a dream!

It wasn't that she didn't know about the fervent gazes around her, but no one could make her heart flutter the way Sheng Zihan did.

Huo Zhenteng patted his niece's hand, sighed, and didn't say another word.

Forget it, what young person hasn't suffered a heartbreak?

Let time fade everything away.

The shills Huo Zhenteng invited played a very crucial role at the cocktail party.

These people spoke well of Huo Zhenteng without leaving a trace, saying how important this patent was and praising Huo Zhenteng as a late-blooming business prodigy.

Before the bidding even started, they incited the actual bidders, who were all eager and ready to go, fearing they wouldn't be able to get a slice of this big cake.

Wang Qing heard these words too.

She was a bit confused and asked her uncle in a low voice, "Haven't you always run a restaurant and made gourmet food? When did you become a business prodigy? How come I didn't know?"

"There's a lot you don't know. I'll tell you later; don't ask around here."

Huo Zhenteng took his niece for a stroll outside before heading inside.

Today he was the host, but also the target of the bidding, so he had to maintain a certain air; only by having airs could he appear to have high status.

The bidding began.

Everyone sat in their seats, but many were already swaying; they couldn't even sit steadily in their chairs.

This was all the work of that alcohol.

The alcohol had been tampered with by Huo Zhenteng, and the alcohol content was higher than the original.

When people are muddled from drinking, it's not easy to make correct judgments, and when they drink too much, they are prone to impulsivity; then he could sit back and reap the rewards!

Huo Zhenteng had calculated every step.

The bidding began.

It started off very smoothly, proceeding exactly as he had designed; every step was within his plan, and he felt somewhat smug.

Very good, keep raising the price; it would soon reach his expected range.

The idea was beautiful, but plans never change as fast as reality.

Just as the bidding was becoming very intense, the door opened.

Sheng Hanyu, Yun Zhe Hao, Jian Yining, and Sheng Zerong walked in.

These were the heads of the largest groups in Jiangzhou; any one of them pulled out at random was a big-name figure.

Now that these people appeared together, the previously high-spirited atmosphere immediately died down.

Those sitting in the first row automatically gave up the best seats to let them sit.

The few of them didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually.

By rights, their arrival was a good thing.

But Huo Zhenteng always had an uneasy premonition, feeling it wasn't a good thing, but since he had given the invitations, he couldn't kick them out now.

The bidding continued.

The staff handed out the small paddles used for bidding to the group, but they shook their heads to indicate they didn't need them.

Huo Zhenteng's heart sank; if they weren't here to bid, were they here to cause trouble?

That's right, they were here to cause trouble.

The host was on stage, preparing to continue the bidding, but at this moment, Yun Zhe Hao stood up and interrupted the host: "I have a question I'd like to ask everyone here: what did you come here for today?"

What did they come for?

Wasn't this something obvious?

Bidding.

Bidding for the partnership rights to the Environmental Water Purification Equipment patent.

Some people were suspicious, while others said it directly.

"Chairman Yun, we came to bid for the partnership rights for the Environmental Water Purification Equipment. Did you not know when you came?"

"I knew."

If he knew and still asked, there must be a reason.

So, everyone's eyes turned to Yun Zhe Hao, waiting for him to give an answer.

Huo Zhenteng panicked.

He ordered the Security Guard to kick these people out; although he didn't yet know what methods they would use to deal with him, kicking them out was the right thing to do to nip the trouble in the bud.

The idea was fine, but he encountered trouble during the implementation.

He sadly discovered—the theater's Security Guard simply wouldn't listen to him!

The Security Guard followed the orders of the theater manager, and the theater manager was currently bowing and scraping to Yun Zhe Hao, apologizing profusely.

He said he didn't know that the person who had contracted the theater today was someone Chairman Yun disliked; if he had known earlier, even if offered a sky-high price, he wouldn't have rented the theater to Huo Zhenteng!

Huo Zhenteng was so angry his head ached.

If it weren't for the fact that he absolutely couldn't rent a venue, would he have come to a theater to hold a bidding conference?

When others hold bidding conferences, they are all in top-tier hotels; even if they aren't the best, they should at least be five-star standard.

But when he was renting a venue, all the high-class hotels in Jiangzhou rejected him.

He was snubbed, and only later did he find out that the best hotels in Jiangzhou were all under the Sheng Family brothers.

Since the hotels wouldn't work, he had to find a theater!

Because the theater's class was not as good as a hotel's, he racked his brains to make up for it in other ways, and it was with great difficulty that he got it to look like this.

Before Sheng Hanyu and the others arrived, the theater manager was wagging his tail like a pug in front of him, smiling obsequiously and saying: "Chairman Huo, you really have ability. Our theater has never been this glorious before. You must come to us again for future events. I'll give you a twenty percent discount..."

How long has it even been since then?

He has already turned his back and stopped acknowledging him.

Yun Zhe Hao said to the theater manager: "You may go down now. You don't need to worry about things here anymore. I will look after you in the future."

"Thank you, thank you Chairman Yun, thank you to the few big shots!"

He bowed and retreated.

Sheng Zerong stood up at this moment and waved the documents in his hand: "Let me explain what Chairman Yun just said. Today's bidding is a scam. Although Huo Zhenteng registered the patent first, his patent was stolen!"

Jian Yining also stood up and pointed casually: "At least half of you here are shills. If you don't believe it, everyone can state their names and backgrounds. See how many people here don't even have the qualifications to bid, or don't even have a company!"

Everyone was reminded by him, and their vigilance was instantly raised. They looked around, and sure enough, they didn't recognize many of the people.

When they first came in, some people had already been suspicious: why were there so many unfamiliar faces today?
