WARNING! Tsundere President

The bidding competition had fully became a battlefield between Huo Yunting and Xiang Jinxi, and everyone present subconsciously focused their gaze, both anxious yet anticipating.

No one had thought that an originally drab bidding competition would had such an exciting finale!

And who would be the eventual victor, will be known very soon.

“...”

Xiang Jinxi did not immediately raise his placard, and saw Lu Zhaoyang’s anxiousness beneath her calm facade, and smiled, seemingly realizing something.

Just as the mayor had called ‘7 billion, any more bidders?”, he raised his voice, malice seeping from his voice.

“7.1 billion!”

“Mr Huo, do you wish to continue?”

“...”

He seemed to have sensed Huo Yunting’s limit, and purposely added only ten million to the bid, his every word and move reeked of taunts and ridicules.

Everyone then shifted their gaze towards Huo Yunting

Huo Yunting, at the center of attention, kept cool, as he pulled out a cigarette, and lit it up, being aloof and flippant as usual.

He clapped his hand as he got up calmly, and said. “Oh pardon me, I had only prepared that much, it’s a shame that I’m not able to secure the project. Next time then.”

“...”

Everyone present was aghast, and even the mayor twitched his eyebrow.

The way he had put it...

A project that was close to ten billion was just like going to the market for him.

If he can’t get it today, he’ll just get it another day.

That posse, that audacity, he deserved full marks for that.

Lu Zhaoyang sank into her seat as she stared at Huo Yunting, her eyes filled with defeat.

They lost.

She had never thought that Thunderbolt would lose, much less to Xiangyuan of all things!

Xiang Jinxi stood up and stared coldly at the aloof Huo Yunting before clapping, a taunting smile appearing on his face.

“I have nothing but admiration for Mr Huo’s ability to speak for himself. This competition is based on our capabilities, so why did you have to put up such a high and might look? Disgusting really.”

Huo Yunting was unperturbed, and just slightly raised his eyebrow.

“Mr Xiang, I think I have already made myself clear. Do you need me to congratulate you on securing the project?”

“No need.” Xiang Jinxi sneered. “Your wishes are beyond me.”

“Yeah, thought so.” Huo Yunting actually nodded. “So, I do not intend to do so.”

“Pffft....”

Someone could not withhold their laughter, and that caused Xiang Jinxi’s expression to darken, and his good mood for beating Huo Yunting pretty much disappeared.

He took a deep breath to avoid having the excitement of victory overtake his senses, and turned towards the mayor.

“Mayor Jiang, the results is all but certain now, time for you to announce the winner I suppose?”

Mayor Jiang recovered, and glanced at Huo Yunting, a flash of pity crossing his eyes.

He could only say, Xiang Jinxi hid his cards too well!

“I hereby announce that–”

BAM!

With the fall of the hammer, he announced. “The port project belongs to Xiangyuan Corp, congratulations, Mr Xiang!”

Clap clap clap.

A series of applause rang out, and Xiang Jinxi’s cold face finally broke into a smile.

He quickly walked up the stage, and shook Mayor Jiang’s hand, “Mayor Jiang, shall we sign the agreement now?”

After the latter agreed, he swept his gaze down the stage, and landed on Huo Yunting, aloof as ever, without the bitterness of someone losing as he maintained his proud stature.

“Will Mr Huo attend the banquet later?”
