Chapter 472 Huo Family's Feng Shui
Chen Xuan took a step forward and placed his hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
Seeing Chen Xuan step out to support Huo Yuhao, everyone was stunned and full of confusion.
Someone actually came forward to support Huo Yuhao?
Didn't they know that the person standing in front of him was Young Master Tang!
Ding Yu saw Chen Xuan, a flicker of malice in his eyes. He whispered a few words to Young Master Tang, who then stared at Chen Xuan with disdain.
Young Master Tang looked at Chen Xuan and said coldly, "Heh heh, so it's you who invested in that trash Huo Yuhao. Don't think you can strut around in the provincial city just because you have some money. I'm telling you, the provincial city is not a place for bumpkins like you."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, unyielding, "Unfortunately, I do have money. Not only will I not withdraw my investment, but I also plan to increase it. Furthermore, I will also bid for the land of the Huo family's ancestral hall!"
"You want to compete with me?" Young Master Tang's eyes turned cold when he heard this.
This piece of land was very suitable for Young Master Tang's commercial development.
Moreover, Young Master Tang detested it when people competed with him for things.
"The auction is about the highest bidder, is that not allowed?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Young Master Tang, full of swagger, retorted, "Well said, the highest bidder wins. Then I'll let you, a nouveau riche, see what it means to be rich and powerful! What it means to be a big shot in the provincial city!"
The people around immediately flattered him.
"Exactly, a bumpkin wanting to compete with Young Master Tang is simply overestimating himself."
"Do you really think you're great just because you have some money?"
"The big figures of the provincial city are existences beyond your reach!"
"A little something leaking from Young Master Tang's fingers is enough to make your jaw drop."
Amidst the flattery, Young Master Tang turned and left.
Meanwhile, his cousin Huo Xin glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao, his eyes bulging wider than a bull's.
"Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, you'll be the ruin of my Huo family!"
If someone joined the competition, the Huo family's land would naturally be sold at a high price, but if they angered Young Master Tang, it would bring about a catastrophe!
"You should quickly break off contact with this person, and then come with me to kneel and apologize to Young Master Tang."
Cousin Huo Xin gave Chen Xuan a venomous look, then turned his gaze back to Huo Yuhao, saying without a doubt.
"Mr. Chen is my best friend."
Huo Yuhao hesitated slightly, then his expression turned cold and resolute as he spoke.
"The Huo family will perish because of you! Just wait until you go home to be beaten to death!"
Cousin Huo Xin was furious, cursed, and left.
After everyone else left, Huo Yuhao looked at Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I will be your ox or horse for the rest of my life to repay you!"
Chen Xuan smiled, "You don't need to be an ox or a horse. Just make sure you build Huo's Cosmetics into a brand like Chanel, Dior, and other international fashion brands."
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I will not let you down."
Huo Yuhao was stunned, clenched his fists confidently.
At this moment, Huo's Cosmetics set its sights on international trendsetters like Chanel and Dior!
In the near future, Huo's Cosmetics would also dominate the international market!
"Don't be too nervous. Let's go, we're going to the auction," Chen Xuan patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.
Then, Chen Xuan and Huo Yuhao walked side by side towards the auction.
Just then, a young man, surrounded by the auction house manager, also walked in.
This young man frowned, his face full of displeasure, seeming uninterested in anything. The auction house manager following him didn't dare to breathe loudly.
The people around were greatly shocked.
The auction house manager was quite a significant figure. Young Master Tang hadn't even shown his face, yet he was accompanying this young man.
Who exactly was this young man?
"Young Master Gao, please rest assured, once you're here, I guarantee you'll be happy. Today, at the auction, there are a few good items that you will definitely be satisfied with," the auction house manager said obsequiously.
The auction house manager knew a truth: the richer and more powerful a young master like Young Master Gao was, the more unhappy he was, and the more likely he was to spend lavishly. If Young Master Gao could dominate the auction, he could also earn commission.
"What good things?" Young Master Gao asked absentmindedly.
Young Master Gao had been feeling very stifled these past two days, so he came out to relax. Since he was relaxing, he couldn't dwell on those matters anymore.
"An ancient sword!"
"Oh?"
Young Master Gao's eyes lit up; he was finally interested.
The Gao family was a martial arts family. Young Master Gao had been immersed in it since childhood. Although his talent was average, and he only learned the superficial aspects, he was very interested in weapons like ancient swords. In the Gao family, Young Master Gao had several rooms specifically for storing his antiques.
The most numerous among them were bronze swords and the like.
"Precisely. It is said to be crafted by a Song Dynasty artisan based on the fish intestine sword. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, it remains very sharp and full of imposing aura."
Seeing Young Master Gao show interest, the auction house manager quickly introduced it.
"Then let's not delay! Let's go in quickly!" Young Master Gao was a little impatient.
"Young Master Gao, we have already prepared a private room for you. This way, please."
"You're very efficient. I'll speak well of you to your boss another day," Young Master Gao was very satisfied.
"Thank you, Young Master Gao!"
Then, led by the auction house manager, Young Master Gao headed towards the private room.
In the semicircular exhibition hall, on the stage at the very front, there was a huge screen with several large characters: "Broad Auction". The lights overhead were brilliant and dazzling.
At this moment, Chen Xuan and Huo Yuhao had already found a place to sit.
As fate would have it, Tang Chen and his group were sitting in the row directly in front of Chen Xuan and Huo Yuhao.
"Young Master Tang said that if you kneel and beg for mercy, he will still leave you a bowl of rice in the provincial city."
Ding Yu sneered and turned her head.
"No need. He should keep that bowl of rice for himself," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"You..." Ding Yu's expression froze, and she looked at Young Master Tang.
Young Master Tang naturally heard Chen Xuan's words and snorted, "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You'll have a hard time!"
Just then, with a buzz, a beam of light struck the stage, illuminating the dimly lit stage instantly.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment. The situation on stage drew everyone's attention, including Chen Xuan.
A tall, slender beauty in a short skirt and stockings gracefully walked to the center of the stage, her proud figure swaying.
She looked to be in her late twenties. She wasn't skinny, but her figure was just right. Her long hair was neatly tied up, making her appear extremely dignified.
"Everyone, I am Jiao Jiao, the auctioneer in charge of today's auction. Thank you all for coming!"
Her clear voice resonated, and for some reason, it carried a particularly strong sense of affinity and influence.
Many guests couldn't help but curl their lips.
After a brief introduction and explanation of the auction rules, the auctioneer Jiao Jiao directly said, "Everyone, the first item to be auctioned today is a piece of land."
"You should all know the Huo family's ancestral hall, right? Yes, you guessed it right. What's being auctioned today is precisely the land of the Huo family's ancestral hall."
The people around opened their eyes wide, full of disdain.
"Damn, the Huo family is really getting shameless, selling even their ancestral hall?"
"If the ancestors of the Huo family knew, they would crawl out from underground..."
"The descendants of the Huo family are truly outrageous! The Huo family's coffins can no longer be contained!"
"Since the Huo family offended the Tang family, they are in decline. If they don't sell, they won't even be able to afford food. Who told them to offend the people they shouldn't have."
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, filled with shame and anger.
Hearing the surrounding voices, Huo Xin also felt his face heat up, lowering his head, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
"This land of the Huo family is located in the suburbs, with a beautiful environment, by mountains and waters. It spans three hundred hectares, which is very suitable for building amusement parks or for tourism development. Gentlemen with ideas can take a look."
As the voice spoke, several photos appeared on the screen.
In the photos, the Huo ancestral hall was very conspicuous, and the surrounding environment was indeed quite good.
Chen Xuan looked up, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
"The Huo family's Feng Shui..."
