Xiao Yaojing remained where she was and rolled her eyes. She and PA Wen must have been enemies in their previous lives. Why would they keep getting bumped into otherwise? Did they have to go to a desolate and uninhabited place to be together?
Well, that was doable too.
“Xin Cheng Energy will close the tender tomorrow afternoon. A few tenderers have already offered up to 1.9 billion,” said PA Wen as he passed the tender documents to Xiao Yaojing.
PA Wen left to make a call when Xiao Yaojing looked at the tender documents.
“How do you get to know the tenderers’ offers?” asked Xiao Yaojing while looking at the documents.
“Every company has a mole,” PA Wen scoffed, and spoke on his phone after the call was answered, “the offer has gone up to as high as 1.9 billion for what we know, Mr. Gu. We will have to offer 2 billion to take down Xin Cheng Energy.”
In other words, they were doomed to make a loss.
Ye Xicheng was playing with his sister in the yard while Wen Jie learned about herbs from Master Yao Lao. It was a harmonious atmosphere.
Gu Juexi sat in the yard and watched his two kids playing then looked at Ye Yuwei when he heard what PA Wen said.
His phone was on the table with the speaker on.
“I don’t suggest that you take this project down. With 2 billion, you will be experiencing the loss for the next ten years,” said Ye Yuwei.
Gu Juexi drummed his fingers on the table, wondering if they should work it out.
“I think Mrs. Gu is right, Mr. Gu. Although taking down Xin Cheng Energy could give us an advantage, the disadvantage it comes with is too substantial,” said PA Wen, agreeing with Ye Yuwei.
“Such a coincidence that two of you share the same opinion,” Gu Juexi stopped tapping his fingers and looked at Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a second at Gu Juexi’s focus.
Crazy man, isn’t that what anyone normal would think?
PA Wen who was on the other line became speechless too. Isn’t that what anyone would think? He just wouldn’t stop getting jealous at every little thing.
“Can you stop getting jealous at every little thing, Gu Juexi?” asked Ye Yuwei coldly.
PA Wen heard what Ye Yuwei said and cheered for her silently. She had said exactly what he had in his mind!
“So you mean I should take down Xin Cheng Energy?” Gu Juexi shot a glare at Ye Yuwei and asked.
Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi. When did she say he should take down Xin Cheng Energy?
“Gu Juexi, I…”
“Didn’t you hear Mrs. Gu? We will offer 2 billion. Submit the tender now,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly then hung up the call.
“Gu Juexi…”
“Look at you. When did you get such a loving husband?” said Gu Juexi as he leaned back in his chair and looked at his two children playing.
Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and suppressed her urge to strangle him.
“It’s a losing business, Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei said, trying her best to remain calm.
“I know, isn’t that what the data says? It will be a losing business from 1.8 billion onwards, I am not stupid,” said Gu Juexi indifferently as if he wasn’t the one losing billions of dollars.
Ye Yuwei took another deep breath. He was right, he was not stupid. He was just crazy.
“2 billion.” PA Wen listened to the beep after Gu Juexi hung up and said to Xiao Yaojing.
“Stupid rich man,” said Xiao Yaojing. “But that isn’t exactly right too. I mean, who is Gu Juexi? Fox; the slyest man in the business world and the boldest soldier in the army. Have you seen him make a deal that gives him losses during all the years you worked with him?”
“No, I haven’t. But offering more than 1.8 billion is for sure a losing business and we have data to support that,” said PA Wen. He has done his research and was certain about his point.
