Chapter 180 - 180 Recording Pen

180 Recording Pen

“Thank you, Miss Shan.” Dong Peng immediately expressed his gratitude. He ignored the commotion on the field and focused on the recording pen.

On the field, as a beam of white light shot out from the overhead spotlight, the person in charge of the Las Vegas delegation walked onto the stage. His silver-white beard glowed from time to time under the light.

Applause sounded from all directions. The east and west sides were divided into two different alliances. Each had their own thoughts, like two vicious wolves staring at their prey on the stage.

“Hello, everyone. I’m very happy to be here. I’m the person-in-charge of this project, Steve. I believe everyone is determined to win this project. Then we won’t waste our breath.” Steve took a step back and the big screen lit up with his movements. It was a detailed introduction to the project.

Amidst the discussion below, Steve continued to introduce, “This auction is mainly about public bidding. Both parties will have two chances to bid the highest price they can offer. The highest bidder will win. The group that finally wins this project will go to Las Vegas for work docking and free travel. Next, please enjoy tonight’s bidding. I’ll go backstage and wait for the winner.”

With that, Steve handed the microphone back to the host. After the host took it, his face was filled with a smile. His other hand pointed at a 45-degree angle. “Next, let’s invite the competing parties to start the first bid!”

Zhou Xuan immediately turned around and discussed with Mu Wei. His slender fingers danced on the paper as he drew a rough sketch and set up several calculations to calculate the cost and future profit margin.

At this moment, Dong Peng had also finished listening to all the recording. His emotions clearly fluctuated greatly. His eyes widened twice as he put on an incredulous expression. “Miss Shan, may I ask where you got this recording?”

Shan Yue glanced sideways and smiled. “I naturally have my own channels for the source of this recording. Uncle Dong, don’t ask further. What I can guarantee you is the authenticity of the content of this recording.”

“Okay, I understand.” Dong Peng gripped the recording pen tightly in his hand, and his eyes gradually became serious. “With our past relationship with the Zhou family, I’m unwilling to believe that Zhou Xuan was the one who killed Yan’er, but no matter what, I can’t resist the pressure of public opinion. I still have to suspect that Zhou Xuan has this motive. However, with this recording pen as evidence, Zhou Xuan can clear his name. Then the real mastermind is…”

“You’re right. It’s the Tang family!” Through the dim environment, Shan Yue continued to look at Dong Peng with a firm gaze. “The Tang family’s goal is to destroy you by killing Dong Yan. This way, she will have enough strength to resist the Zhou family. Unfortunately, the assassination failed. She can only do this and damage Zhou Xuan’s reputation. It’s enough to obtain a huge advantage in this auction.”

“What a vicious woman.”

Hatred gradually burned in Dong Peng’s eyes. He covered his face with his hands. “The reason why I came here today is because Yan’er doesn’t believe that Zhou Xuan would do such a thing to him and wants me to help him. Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but it seems that I was wrong.”

Shan Yue placed a hand on Dong Peng’s shoulder and raised her voice slightly with encouragement. “Uncle, pull yourself together. The more you do this, the more you fall into Tang Li’s trap. She’s the one in the wrong, not you. Because of this, we can’t let her take down this project easily.”

Dong Peng’s eyes became even more determined with a trace of light. He returned the recording pen to Shan Yue and leaned to her ear. “Then, Miss Shan, in terms of this project alone, if it were you, how much would you bid?”

The corners of Shan Yue’s mouth curled into a perfect arc. Her fingertips rubbed lightly against her confident face. She understood that Dong Peng was testing her to see if she was qualified to be a business partner in the future.
