Chapter 1661: Backlash from the

So it was a "shill" they had hired.

Huo Zhenteng panicked even more; his tricks were being exposed one by one, and if this continued, today's bidding would surely become a joke.

No, he could not just sit and wait for death.

He rushed in front of a few people, pointed at their noses, and said, "Nonsense, you are all spouting nonsense, this is slander, I am going to sue you in court..."

Sheng Hanyu finally spoke, saying coldly to Huo Zhenteng, "Wait to receive the court summons. My Lüshi has already sued you for theft. Whether it is me slandering you, or you stealing our company's data to register it first, you know best in your heart."

"See you in court!"

After he finished speaking, the few of them stood up and left.

Huo Zhenteng wished they would leave immediately; now that the few of them had finally left him, he wanted to appease the people and continue the bidding.

But those who came today were all business people, not fools; no one would act as if nothing had happened under these circumstances and continue bidding.

Someone put down their paddle, preparing to leave.

With one person taking the lead, more and more people left.

The "shills" Huo Zhenteng had hired still wanted to continue fooling everyone, but were met with soul-searching questions: "Who are you? We've been chatting so enthusiastically, why haven't you given me a business card?"

"Where is your company located? Why don't we go to your company together to sit for a while and talk about cooperation?"

"You are President Sheng? Then what is your relationship with President Liu of Tianma?"

The real bidders came to their senses and started asking questions, and these "shills" who had been spouting nonsense were suddenly dumbfounded.

The real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be real.

At first, everyone was polite and found it inconvenient to get to the bottom of things, which allowed them to exploit the loophole and successfully fool people.

Now that everyone had reacted, a few questions made these "shills" show their true colors.

They stammered and could not answer at all.

Seeing that they were about to be exposed, of course, running away was the best option!

Thus, before the real bidders had even left the venue, these shills left one after another.

They left their seats, but did not leave immediately; instead, they went to find Huo Zhenteng to settle the bill!

At a time like this, coming to him to settle the bill was equivalent to admitting they were shills. Huo Zhenteng was furious; he did not give them money, but just glared at them hard and signaled with his eyes, meaning not to take money in front of everyone, as that would be admitting they were shills.

The shills did not care about that; they had done the work, so they had to get paid.

If you don't pay, we'll make a scene!

"What's up? You want to welsh on the debt?"

"Is welshing on a debt going to work? If you don't pay today, we will expose everything you've done!"

"Brothers, those big shots who came just now were right, we are just shills, hired by Huo Zhenteng for five hundred yuan a day."

"Right, now that he sees he can't cheat you out of your money, he wants to welsh on our money..."

Huo Zhenteng did not need to pretend anymore; he fainted right away!

After a good while, he finally woke up.

He discovered he was lying on the cold floor, with only his niece Wang Qing anxiously by his side.

Seeing her uncle wake up, Wang Qing was very happy; she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and said, "Uncle, don't move, the ambulance will be here soon. Your health is what matters, don't think about other things for now..."

Don't think about it?

That was impossible.

Real money had been spent like water, and when it was time to harvest, this happened. His niece was telling him not to think too much, but it was impossible not to.

He rolled his eyes around; the theater was empty and there was no one left, only his niece.

"Where are the others?" he asked weakly.

Wang Qing wiped her tears and said with a forced smile, "They have all left. Uncle, you must not get upset. As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. We didn't succeed this time, but we have next time; if next time doesn't work, there's the time after that. As long as there are people, there is hope."

"Hmm."

Huo Zhenteng struggled to stand up, and his niece hurriedly helped him up.

At this moment, the ambulance arrived with a siren, and nurses in emergency uniforms walked in carrying a stretcher.

"Where is the patient?"

Huo Zhenteng: "I'm fine, you guys can go."

His niece objected.

Wang Qing said, "The ambulance is already here, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up. You have a history of high blood pressure and heart attacks; you must take your health seriously."

Girls are just more attentive; his niece did better than his own son.

Huo Zhenteng was very moved, but he still refused his niece's suggestion; he could not go to the hospital, as there was still a pile of messes waiting for him to resolve.

The ambulance was not his family's; since he had woken up, it meant he was fine. The ambulance crew did not care about him getting a check-up, so a few of them carried the empty stretcher and left again.

At this time, the theater manager came over, glared at him with disgust, and shooed him away like a beggar: "Awake? Hurry up and leave, don't die in my place, it's bad luck!"

"How are you talking?"

Wang Qing could not take it and stepped forward to argue: "When you saw my uncle this morning, you were still like a pug, and now that it's noon, you've turned into a donkey's face. You change your face faster than turning a book, you villain!"

The theater manager retorted: "I'm a villain? Then what are you? Liars, thieves."

"Forget it, I'm still very busy, I don't have the leisure to bicker with you, go, go, hurry up and leave!"

Wang Qing helped Huo Zhenteng and they were driven out of the theater.

The red carpet at the entrance had not been removed yet, and the advertisements were all still there.

Huo Zhenteng's giant photo was still high-spirited, but the introduction had been slashed by someone with a knife, and the tattered cloth strips were dancing in the wind.

The uncle and niece went home in a sorry state.

Huo Zhenteng locked himself in the Study, thought for a long time, and still bit the bullet to report today's events to his boss.

He couldn't not tell him; all the money today was paid by him, and the money owed to those shills was all written in IOUs by his niece, all of which had to be paid.

But the task had not succeeded, and having to ask someone for money after that was, in the end, not a very confident thing to do; he lacked the conviction.

He deliberated over the wording for a long time, wrote several thousand words, and only then finally sent it out.

The boss did not reply for a long time.

During this time, Huo Zhenteng kept pacing back and forth in the Study, feeling restless and uneasy.

He was afraid that the boss would abandon him and find someone else in Jiangzhou who could get things done.

Only at this moment did he realize that, apart from the contact method on the internet, he knew nothing else about the boss.

Previously, there was at least a rented house where he could find the person, but now there was nothing at all.

What should he do if he couldn't find the person?

If the boss continued to ignore him, what should he do?

Huo Zhenteng's heart was in a state of chaos, and every second felt like a year; on average, he would pick up his phone every few seconds to check, terrified of missing a message from the boss.

Every time the notification sound rang, his heart would thump with excitement.

Unfortunately, there was nothing.

The boss had not sent a message; it was all just spam.

He suppressed the urge to smash his phone, waiting anxiously and uneasily.

He waited from dawn until dark.

It felt as long as a century, but he finally received a message from the boss!
