Chapter 306: I’m Buying it, So what!
"Shen Tian!"
He looked at her.
"What?"
"You said you weren’t buying it."
"I never said that."
"You implied it."
"Different."
Gu Qingya sighed.
Tang Meilin started laughing.
Qin Hao stared.
Of course.
Of fucking course.
Chen Mo’s expression changed.
Again.
The same man.
The same problem.
Qin Hao raised.
"Eleven."
Shen Tian immediately answered.
"Thirty."
Silence.
Lin Yue stared at him like he’d lost his mind.
"THIRTY?"
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"You were curious."
"NOT THIRTY MILLION CURIOUS!"
Tang Meilin laughed harder.
Gu Qingya covered her mouth.
Qin Hao’s eye twitched.
But...
This time...
He had prepared.
He lowered his paddle.
Shen Tian noticed.
Qin Hao smiled.
Then...
His system spoke.
Secondary acquisition method ready.
Qin Hao had already arranged for the seller’s representative to refuse
final transfer due to a fabricated identification dispute.
The auction could end.
Shen Tian could technically win.
Then...
The item would be held.
During the delay...
Qin Hao’s people would legally purchase the seller’s entire private
collection through a separate holding company.
Including the herb.
Clean.
No theft.
No confrontation.
No money war.
Qin Hao smiled.
Shen Tian could win the stage.
Qin Hao would take the prize backstage.
The auctioneer raised the hammer.
"Thirty million once."
Qin Hao leaned back.
"Twice."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Sold!"
Applause.
Lin Yue covered her face.
"You are insane."
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Worth it."
"You don’t even know what it does."
"I do."
Lin Yue froze.
"What?"
Shen Tian smiled.
"Later."
Her eyes narrowed.
Then...
An auction employee approached the stage.
Whispered to the auctioneer.
Qin Hao smiled.
There.
The auctioneer’s expression changed.
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
"An administrative issue has arisen regarding lot twenty seven."
Qin Hao looked toward Shen Tian.
Finally.
"Transfer will unfortunately require temporary delay while ownership
documentation is verified."
Murmurs.
Lin Yue blinked.
Gu Qingya frowned.
Tang Meilin looked confused.
Shen Tian?
He smiled.
Qin Hao’s own smile slowly weakened.
Why was he smiling?
Xu Ning appeared beside Shen Tian.
[He set this up.]
"I know."
[You knew?]
"Since yesterday."
Xu Ning stared.
[How?]
"His shell company made an offer to the seller’s holding group."
[You tracked it?]
"Shen Family legal did."
Xu Ning’s mouth slowly opened.
Shen Tian stood.
Lin Yue looked up.
"Where are you going?"
"Fixing paperwork."
Qin Hao watched him leave.
His system immediately warned.
Unexpected variable.
Qin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
"What variable?"
Shen Family acquisition activity detected.
Qin Hao froze.
"Explain."
Then...
His phone vibrated.
One message.
From his financial advisor.
Young Master Qin, urgent. The seller’s holding company was acquired this
morning.
Qin Hao’s face changed.
Another message.
Buyer: Shen Medical Holdings.
Silence.
Qin Hao slowly looked toward the hallway Shen Tian had entered.
"You..."
His system continued.
Mission condition deteriorating.
Qin Hao stood.
. . .
Private transfer room.
The seller’s representative looked extremely nervous.
Shen Tian stood across from him.
Gu Qingya had followed.
Tang Meilin too.
Lin Yue entered last.
The representative bowed slightly.
"Young Master Shen..."
"There appears to have been confusion."
Shen Tian smiled.
"No confusion."
He placed a document on the table.
"Shen Medical Holdings acquired your parent company at nine seventeen
this morning."
The man’s face became pale.
Gu Qingya looked at Shen Tian.
Then...
At the paperwork.
Her eyebrow rose.
"You bought their company?"
"Yes."
Tang Meilin stared.
"For one herb?"
"No."
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"The portfolio is useful."
Gu Qingya immediately took the document.
Read.
Her expression changed.
"He’s right."
Tang Meilin blinked.
"What?"
Gu Qingya looked toward Shen Tian.
"They own three botanical research facilities."
"Two medical distribution licenses."
"A pharmaceutical packaging patent."
"And..."
Her eyes narrowed.
"...a cultivation herb reserve."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Exactly."
Tang Meilin stared.
"You bought a company because you wanted a plant..."
"...but somehow made it good business?"
"Yes."
Lin Yue looked between them.
Then...
She smiled despite herself.
"Annoyingly competent."
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Compliment?"
Her cheeks warmed.
"Don’t make it weird."
"Too late."
Then...
The door opened.
Qin Hao entered.
His expression remained calm.
Barely.
He looked at the documents.
Then...
Shen Tian.
"You bought the parent company."
"Yes."
"This morning."
"Yes."
"Before the auction."
"Yes."
Qin Hao slowly exhaled.
"You knew."
Shen Tian smiled.
Qin Hao’s system screamed.
Mission failure imminent.
Qin Hao looked toward the seller representative.
"No need to delay transfer."
The man blinked.
"What?"
Qin Hao smiled.
"Documentation appears clear."
Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.
Smart.
He knew when he’d lost.
No tantrum.
No threat.
No exposing himself.
Qin Hao looked toward Shen Tian.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Then...
Qin Hao’s smile became sharper.
"Enjoy the grass."
Shen Tian smiled.
"I won’t."
Qin Hao froze.
"What?"
Lin Yue looked toward Shen Tian too.
He looked at her.
Then...
Tossed the wooden box.
Lin Yue’s eyes widened.
She caught it against her chest.
Everyone froze.
Lin Yue stared down.
Then...
At him.
"Shen Tian."
"Hm?"
"This is thirty million yuan."
"Technically the company owns it."
"That’s not helping!"
He smiled.
"Research it."
Lin Yue stared.
"What?"
"You were curious."
Silence.
Her expression changed.
The teasing vanished.
"You..."
She looked down at the box.
Then...
Back at him.
"You bought this because I was curious?"
"Partly."
Her cheeks slowly turned pink.
"But..."
She looked toward the herb.
"This could be valuable."
"It is."
"You know what it is."
"Yes."
"And you’re still giving it to me?"
"Yes."
Lin Yue stared into his green eyes.
Her heartbeat changed.
Not because of the money.
Not really.
Because he’d noticed.
She had leaned forward.
Shown interest.
Mentioned research.
And Shen Tian had remembered.
Then...
He’d acquired the entire company.
Which was ridiculous.
Completely ridiculous.
But...
He remembered.
Lin Yue’s expression softened.
"I’ll study it."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Good girl."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Lin Yue froze.
Gu Qingya’s eyes widened.
Tang Meilin covered her mouth instantly.
Qin Hao slowly looked away.
The seller representative suddenly became extremely interested in the
wall.
Lin Yue’s entire face turned scarlet.
"SHEN TIAN."
He smiled.
"What?"
"You..."
She clutched the box tighter.
"Stop doing that."
