Shi Huai waited for a long time in the waiting room outside the hall. Just as he was about to leave in disappointment, he heard Xia Qiaoan calling him, breathless.
Xia Qiaoan's legs were still sore, and she almost collapsed to the ground unexpectedly.
Fortunately, Shi Huai's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick to catch her. Xia Qiaoan held Shi Huai's forearms, and then barely stood up.
"I... I'm sorry, I overslept," Xia Qiaoan found an excuse.
Shi Huai was happy, "It's okay, it's not too late."
"Are there many people bidding today?" Xia Qiaoan always felt a little uneasy.
Shi Huai shook his head, "This piece of land is remote, not many people registered before, I also looked yesterday, the companies participating in the auction, together with Huaiyuan, there are only four, the other three are very small companies, they have no competitive edge."
After hearing that, Xia Qiaoan felt a little relieved, "That's good."
At this time, the two of them were only talking, and Xia Qiaoan had long forgotten that Shi Huai was still supporting her.
In the eyes of outsiders, this posture was somewhat intimate.
Shi Huai had noticed it from the beginning, he knew that Xia Qiaoan didn't notice this detail at all, she just almost fell, and he happened to catch her, but with this support, he didn't want to let go anymore.
"You two, what a coincidence."
A lazy, hoarse voice came to her ears, Xia Qiaoan's heart was like a flock of geese skimming over the lake, all ripples.
Li Mochen?
Shi Huai also didn't expect Li Mochen to appear here. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was also apprehensive in his heart.
Li Mochen strolled over to the two of them, he pulled Xia Qiaoan with one hand, and seemed to be very concerned, "I see you seem to have weak legs, do you need me to help you go and sit down?"
Xia Qiaoan glared at him, gesturing for him to shut up. She wanted to break free from that hand, but in the end, it was futile.
"Let go of me."
"I want to help you. President Shi will be very busy soon, he won't be able to take care of you."
Xia Qiaoan was completely speechless, "If you don't let go, I'm going to accuse you of harassment, isn't President Li afraid of losing face?"
"You aren't afraid to hold President Shi's hand, why would I be afraid?"
Shi Huai's face turned solemn. He forcibly pried Li Mochen's hand open and pulled Xia Qiaoan to his side, "President Li, don't lower your status, the image of a thug isn't suitable for you."
"It's not bad to change it occasionally."
"Why did you come here today?" Shi Huai was hostile.
Of course, Xia Qiaoan had probably already guessed Li Mochen's purpose; her sixth sense was really right.
Li Mochen looked at Xia Qiaoan and said, "I had insomnia last night, so I wanted to work. I casually looked at the land acquisition website and found that there was an auction today, and I registered just before the deadline."
This reason was really...
It really made one want to punch him. He made up lies seriously, this look was really hateful.
Xia Qiaoan sneered, "It's said that Li Mochen is an investment genius, this piece of land has a bad location, the value isn't high, and your company doesn't have a tourism sector either. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"
Li Mochen looked like he deserved a beating, "It seems you still don't understand me, I can give you a chance to get to know me better. I don't care what others say."
Shi Huai still wanted to say something, but Xia Qiaoan stopped him, "Forget it, saying more is a waste of time, let's go in."
Li Mochen watched the two of them walk into the hall. His expression, which had always been casual, became serious. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and clenched them into fists.
He said he wouldn't let them go, then let's officially begin.
