Chapter 35. Ji Wanxian: Nobility Carved in the Bones
Teacher Ma was genuinely envious.
He felt that Ma Tengyun must have seen a lot of the world by following Li Mo.
Indeed…
Choosing the right person to follow is more important than anything.
Ma Tengyun…
Was a prime example of someone who had chosen well.
From a penniless young man begging for investments…
To now, sitting calmly at a land auction with a starting bid of 50 million…
This composure…
Truly extraordinary.
It seemed…
He had grown a lot.
Though Ma Tengyun also felt somewhat excited…
He still maintained an air of effortless ease.
Ma Yun’s demeanor…
Made him feel it was all worth it.
Indeed…
Emulating Mr. Mo’s manner made people trust him more easily.
“60 million!”
Someone raised their bid.
The real estate market was booming at the time.
Countless investors were pouring money into property.
“I really envy the real estate sector.”
“Many domestic investors are pouring funds into property.”
“But for internet companies like ours, securing investment locally is incredibly difficult.”
Li Mo agreed with Teacher Ma’s words.
“That’s true… After all, real estate is a safe bet right now.”
“The internet industry is much riskier.”
“It’s almost laughable…”
“Most of China’s internet companies are backed by foreign investment firms.”
“Fluctuations in the Nasdaq can trigger a winter for our domestic internet enterprises.”
“Actually… If you ever need investment in the future, Teacher Ma…”
“You can consider reaching out to me.”
Teacher Ma nodded but didn’t elaborate.
He did want to accept some investment…
But…
Cai Chongxin was right beside him.
At the moment, he didn’t support the idea of taking on more investors.
“61 million!”
“63 million!”
“64 million!!”
“70 million!”
The moment this bid was called out…
The auction hall fell into silence.
The one who had shouted 70 million…
Was a woman sitting beside a stunning lady in a black lace dress.
This woman wore designer brands worth over 100,000 yuan.
She was undoubtedly beautiful…
But…
Compared to that breathtaking lady…
She paled in comparison.
“Who is this woman? She’s throwing money around like it’s nothing.”
Li Mo noticed Yin Qiang eagerly explaining something to her.
It only reinforced his belief that this woman was no ordinary figure.
With the bid of 70 million on the table…
The crowd was stunned.
Some of the businessmen present knew…
That this Bilan Real Estate had formidable backing.
Their offer was simply too high.
Though the real estate market was booming…
Liquidity was slow.
Most of them didn’t have that much capital on hand.
Borrowing an extra few million from the bank would mean exorbitant interest rates.
And…
Further property development would require even more massive investments.
“70 million, going once!”
“70 million, going twice!”
“70 million, sold!”
The first plot of land was swiftly secured by Bilan Real Estate.
Before long…
Yin Qiang returned.
Since he was an official staff member, he didn’t take a seat.
Instead, he stood near Teacher Ma and Li Mo.
“Yin Qiang, what’s the background of this Bilan Real Estate?”
“Why were you so deferential to that woman in the black dress?”
Ma Tengyun and the others also perked up their ears.
They were equally curious.
A woman this beautiful, with such an extraordinary status…
She was a mystery.
“Well… I can’t say too much.”
“This young lady’s name is Ji Wanxian.”
“She’s from Yanjing—a true princess.”
Li Mo and the others immediately understood.
They didn’t press further.
“Ji Wanxian… Back in Yanjing, countless young masters have pursued her.”
“But this lady is fiercely career-driven.”
“She refused to marry into those families and left Yanjing instead.”
“She wanted to start her own business.”
“Because she loves investing.”
“Though she still works at Xindian…”
“She already owns several companies.”
“Bilan Real Estate is one of them.”
“Let me put it this way…”
“Whoever marries Ji Wanxian…”
“Will never face bureaucratic hurdles in business again.”
“In fact… Without her connections—or rather, her family’s influence—”
“Many of her companies would never have grown so smoothly.”
Hearing this…
Everyone felt like they had glimpsed a whole new world.
This woman’s background was truly formidable.
If someone could marry her…
Wouldn’t they become invincible in the investment world?
“Then… Mr. Yin, could you introduce us to her later?”
Teacher Ma was eager to meet this young lady.
He knew the value of connections all too well.
If Cai Chongxin hadn’t been close friends with Ms. Lin from Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong…
How could he have secured that $5 million investment?
“Don’t worry, after the auction…”
“I’ll arrange an introduction.”
“But… if you want her to do anything for you…”
“That’ll depend on your own skills.”
“It won’t be easy.”
“She’s famously aloof.”
Li Mo glanced at Ji Wanxian in the distance.
He could sense her innate nobility.
It was truly carved into her bones.
Her black lace dress wasn’t revealing, yet it accentuated her perfect figure.
Yet, it inspired no impure thoughts—only reverence.
For the first time, Li Mo realized…
Nobility…
Could indeed be ingrained in one’s very essence.
“Alright, we’ll trouble you then!”
“Thank you.”
Soon after…
Ji Wanxian secured the second plot for another 70 million.
The third and fourth plots, being less desirable in location and prospects, sold for 48 million and 47 million respectively.
Yin Qiang looked at Li Mo in confusion.
“Li Mo, why haven’t you bid yet? Did you just come to watch?”
He fully believed Li Mo had the means to buy land.
Yet…
Li Mo remained unmoved.
“I’m here for the fifth plot.”
Yin Qiang was stunned.
“No way…”
“The fifth plot has failed to sell multiple times.”
“It’s already a half-built abandoned project.”
“They originally planned a subway station nearby…”
“But after six months of construction…”
“The subway plan was scrapped.”
“The previous developer already fled!”
“You want to buy a failed project?”
Li Mo smiled…
The auction had already begun.
Over at Bilan Real Estate…
Ji Wanxian was preparing to leave.
This plot was destined to go unsold yet again.
“The starting bid for today’s plot is quite low—30 million.”
He knew 30 million wouldn’t sell.
But…
Maybe a miracle would happen.
Land auctions were a major revenue source—every extra bit helped.
“Tengyun, raise the bid.”
Ma Tengyun was stunned…
But he quickly put down his local snacks and juice.
“31 million!”
“31 million, going once!”

Every eye in the room turned toward them.
No one had expected…
Someone would actually bid on this failed project?
Unbelievable!
Even Ji Wanxian, who had been about to leave, paused in her steps.
