“Well, don’t flatter each other. You’ve done something good, right?” Millicent shook her head helplessly.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them eased a lot. It was not as strange as it was at the beginning. However, Elio and Irene still had some distance. The two of them were different from the past.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to you this time. You can do whatever you want.”
“Mr. Will, long time no see. It seems that you are much younger. Where are you going?”
“No, no, Mr. Lee, you’re too polite.”
“Isn’t this Mr. Simons? When the time comes, let’s get together again. Last time, it was really not good for you to leave early. Next time, we must get drunk.”
There were endless greetings like this. It seemed that they were really like good brothers. But who knew that in private? Most of the people who came here had the same purpose, and it was good to get some information. Everyone knew it well.
At this time, the group of people came to the front of Irene and the others. It turned out to be Tom and the others.
“Irene? She is the current president of the Wilson. She has been famous for a long time and rarely has a chance to see her. Now, she is really a very beautiful lady, just like her name.”
Tom had an evil smile on his face. He looked Irene up and down and said, “It seems that Irene is quite good-looking.” Tom had an idea.
His gaze made Irene feel a little uncomfortable. “Thank you for your compliment.” Irene was very unhappy. She took a few steps back and distanced herself from Tom.
Seeing Irene’s action, Tom was a little unhappy. Usually, every woman would want to cling to him when they saw him coming to their door. Irene praised her a few times, but she was so arrogant. She really didn’t know what was good for her.
“President Jones, you’re too polite. You don’t have to be so polite,” Tom said as he approached Irene, wanting to stop her.
Seeing this, Elio immediately reached out and grabbed Tom. “Mr. Wood is being watched by so many people. You’d better be careful.”
Elio was sure that the wine that Tom had poured for him last time had been changed into another one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten drunk after drinking just a little.
It was also his fault that he was not prepared at that time, so he went to Irene’s house after getting drunk and said something like that. In this way, Tom was the culprit.
He just wanted to get him drunk and then get some information. He didn’t expect that Tom would leave early, so he didn’t let Tom succeed.
Tom’s means for this piece of land were really despicable. If it weren’t for Tom, he and Irene wouldn’t be like this now, and he wouldn’t be so guilty about Millicent.
Thinking of this, Elio couldn’t help but try his best.
“It hurts.” Tom couldn’t help shouting. Elio wouldn’t give up until his hand bones were broken.
The pain in his hand made his facial features squeeze together. He couldn’t see his original handsome appearance at all. He looked very wretched.
Irene looked at Tom’s grinning face and felt a little pleased.
Only then did Elio slowly loosen his grip. As soon as Tom struggled free, he immediately jumped far away and swung his red wrist. Tom’s eyes were filled with viciousness.
Irene really didn’t know how to appreciate favors. It seemed that he didn’t have to be soft-hearted to her. After he got that piece of land, he would suppress the Wilson. At that time, Irene would be at his mercy.
If Irene knew what he was thinking, she would laugh at his wishful thinking.
“Elio, wait for me. And Irene, I will definitely get the land I told you.” Tom said a few harsh words and turned to leave. Before leaving, he glared at Irene and Elio, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from them.
“Is Irene okay?” Elio turned around and asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Irene shook her head.
Millicent didn’t say a word throughout the whole process. Watching Elio Bai step forward to stop Tom, and then Irene vent her anger, she lowered her head and thought of something. The ink in her eyes became darker and darker.
Elio and Irene thought that Millicent was frightened, so they asked with concern, “Millicent, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Tom is really annoying. Irene, be careful next time.” Millicent raised his head, and there seemed to be some panic in his eyes.
Seeing that Millicent didn’t forget to worry about her when she was in a panic, Irene was moved and said, “I’ll be careful next time.”
“This kind of person will have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.” Elio said with contempt.
But he was a little confused. Why was Tom so confident that he could be sure that he would get that piece of land?
However, Elio didn’t take it to heart. In his opinion, Tom was just a good-looking man. He didn’t know what kind of person Tom was in his belly.
“If I’m too confident, I’ll be full of myself. Who doesn’t know how to talk big? I have to see if I have the strength.” Elio felt a little funny.
After what Tom had done, Irene’s expression softened a lot.
Before long, the auction began, and everyone entered the venue in an orderly manner.
When they arrived at the venue, everyone wrote down the bid number in their hearts, put it into the box, sealed it, and handed it to the staff.
The higher you wrote, the more you would lose. The lower you wrote, the more afraid you would be photographed. At this time, everyone was a little entangled.
But Irene didn’t have such a problem. She had already investigated it before and wanted to bid for the strength of all companies in this land.
She had already thought of her number and it was written on the proposal. She quickly wrote it down and waited with confidence. She believed that there would not be a number higher than hers.
As for Tom, he had a smug smile on his face, as if this piece of land was already in his pocket.
Irene, you didn’t expect this, did you? I already knew the price you offered. As long as you added tens of thousands of yuan on your price, this piece of land would belong to our Wu Company.
The Wilson was their biggest competitor. Just as Tom was racking his brains to get the bid price of the Wilson.
A few days ago, Tom didn’t get any information from Elio. He was about to start from another place when a mysterious phone call came.
The person on the other end of the phone told him if he wanted to know the price of Irene’s bidding.
Tom could not believe it. He asked who the other party was and why he had to help him. He could not believe what the other party said was true.
If the competitive company came to trick him, then he would have no chance with that piece of land.
The other party did not answer, but sent him some information with his mobile phone. The picture was very clear. Looking at the seal of the group with Edward and the personal seal of the president, Tom could barely believe it.
After that, the man hung up the phone, and Tom called again. It was an empty number.
To be cautious, Tom specially sent his men to investigate. He also asked David’s men to pay attention to it. As a result, the information was accurate. David said that he knew that the information was exactly the same as the information.
The information was complete, so the numbers on it should not be wrong. This time, he, Tom, would be the biggest winner. Tom seemed to have imagined that everyone would compliment him.
The next step was to wait for the answer to be revealed. At this time, everyone could not help but be a little nervous. Who would get that piece of land?
The etiquette lady came to the central stage and announced who the bidder of the auction was with a smile. When she said the name, everyone instantly thought that they had heard it wrong and began to talk.
“How could it be this company? I’ve never heard of it. Have you heard of it?”
“No, when did such a company appear in our city? It must be Edward to buy this piece of land. Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
“Didn’t they say that the most promising one is the Wilson and the Wood Group? I heard that they are all determined to get this piece of land.”
Hearing this result, Irene was greatly disappointed. All of a sudden, she was full of enthusiasm. She couldn’t help but shiver when she heard that a basin of cold water had splashed from her head to her feet. Tom felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had just recovered from his fantasy. How could it be such a company? He had never heard of it.
Was what the mysterious man said fake? Was it sent by Irene to deceive him? Tom had a conspiracy theory at this time.
He didn’t expect that he would fail so easily. He couldn’t reconcile himself to it.
When he looked at Irene viciously, he found that she was also surprised and gave up the idea. It seemed that she was not a member of the Wilson. Then who could it be…
Millicent was very surprised. Looking at Irene’s devastated look, she asked with concern, “Irene, are you okay?” She didn’t expect that she would be photographed by an unknown company. She thought that…
Irene gave a forced smile. Thinking of her painstaking efforts for this case and the plan she had been thinking about day and night, she could only sigh helplessly. In the end, she was still one step behind.
The business world was like a battlefield. It seemed that she would learn a lot in the future. This time, it gave her a warning. She didn’t want to be complacent because of a little achievement. She didn’t know that there was always someone better than her.
Elio looked at Irene with some worry. He had seen how much she had paid for this case. She was even sick and hospitalized because she was busy with it. He really didn’t know how to comfort her.
“Irene is fine. Keep working hard on the next case…”
Irene adjusted her mood. It was not her character to blame herself. What’s more, it was a foregone conclusion. It was useless to blame heaven and earth.
Now she should think about how to face the group of people in the company. She was afraid that they would say a lot of things. Thinking of this, Irene had a headache.
