Upon hearing the conversation between these two, a smile appeared on Fu Hekun's face despite himself.
In a low voice, he explained to Lin Jie, "Li Ao'ge and Qi Yuanou have been at odds for years due to a lawsuit they were involved in early on, and they've been competing with each other ever since."
"Perhaps, the event you're organizing, Expert Lin, doesn't need any changes…"
When Lin Jie and Fu Hekun returned, they saw Li Ao'ge and Qi Yuanou both looking at each other with disdain, surrounded by a crowd of twenty or so people.
Fu Hekun warmly asked, "President Qi, are you also interested in Qushui Garden?"
Qi Yuanou nodded, glancing at Li Ao'ge and raising his voice slightly, "Qushui Garden is a rare place of tranquility amidst the bustle, where clear water shines on the trees and koi frolic, a place of elegant and secluded beauty. How could I not be interested?"
"To be frank with Director Fu, I plan to participate in next Friday's auction."
