Then, Gu Yan and Jiang Jingcheng were both silent. After a while, Assistant Liu came back.
“What’s going on, Liu?” Gu Yan asked when she saw the weird face of Assistant Liu.
Assistant Liu put a wry face and said, “I don’t know how to say, President Gu.”
Jiang Jingcheng saw the weird face of Assistant Liu and thought, “Did Chen Qian make a move? By the way, she said the final winner of today’s tender meeting will be Gu Yan last night, so she must have done something.”
Jiang Jingcheng said anxiously, “What happened, Liu? How do we know if you don’t tell us?”
Gu Yan also nodded and said softly, “Liu, what happened just now? It’s okay. Take your time.”
Gu Yan took Assistant Liu to sit beside her. After a while, when Assistant Liu calmed down, she said, “President Gu, I met the staff from those three companies when I went there to hand in the materials.”
Gu Yan frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with those three companies?”
Assistant Liu said, “President Gu, those three companies have not been able to hand in the tender materials!”
“They didn’t hand in the tender material, did they? What the hell is going on?” Gu Yan said with surprise.
Assistant Liu looked forward with dull eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about. Gu Yan looked at her and then glanced at Jiang Jingcheng. Then he directly pinched Assistant Liu’s face.
Assistant yelled and pouted. She said angrily, “Why did you pinch me?”
Jiang Jingcheng said reluctantly, “What happened indeed? Why are you so out of your mind? We are waiting for you to tell us the details. Hurry up!”
Assistant Liu responded and said quickly, “President Gu, I feel that we are too lucky. It is so incredible.”
Gu Yan got more doubt and asked, “How is it incredible? Hurry up. Don’t keep us guessing.”
Assistant Liu smiled sheepishly and said, “I just made a joke. Let’s come to the point, President Gu. A company’s system was hacked, and all the information was lost. They were calling the police when I came there.”
Gu Yan said with wide eyes, “What? Hacker? Such a bad luck!”
Assistant Liu nodded and said, “What’s worse, they didn’t bring the paper version of the tender, and the electronic version was stored in the cloud of the company computer. Everything was lost. Even if it can be recovered, it will take at least a week. So, their tender is not available today!”
Gu Yan was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe how unlucky the boss of this company was, and how should it happen.
Jiang Jingcheng realized that it must be the arrangement of Chen Qian. But he didn’t expect her way could be such ruthless. It was against the law. If it was exposed, she would be in jail.
Jiang Jingcheng asked with doubt, “What about the other two companies?”
Assistant Liu said, “What happened to the other two companies were also extraordinary. One company’s boss had family dispute. Last night, the boss went out to find his mistress, but this mistress was caught by his wife. Now his wife is divorcing the boss and dividing their property. Coincidentally, this boss is really suspicious. He doesn’t believe anyone, so he didn’t give the tender documents to anybody. And he cannot be here now.”
“The other company did submit the tender documents on time. However, they received a call within a minute. It said that officials from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau now are in their company now. According to the tip-off, the company has serious tax evasion. So, they are ordered by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to stop all projects and wait for investigation.”
Gu Yan felt very incredible and said, “Holy crab. We are too lucky, aren’t we?”
Jiang Jingcheng frowned sitting aside. He didn’t think that the means of Chen Qian should be so cruel. It was so sensational, and she really did not like the gentle, beautiful and weak girl he used to know. Instead, she looked like “Gu Yan” who she described before.
She was ruthless and scheming!
Now Gu Yan had calmed down. If just one weird thing happened, it might be a coincidence. However, three weird things happened together, which was planned by someone definitely!
However, who was the planner? What was his purpose? Gu Yan had no idea. She thought, “Is the secret help from Mo Yichen? No, it is impossible. Although people said he is really ruthless in business, he will never do the illegal thing. That’s for sure.”
From today’s events, it was clear that the first company was involved in an illegal act.
From the current situation, it was the most favorable to Gu Yan. Without the competition of the other three companies, the winner of the project must be Gu Yan’s company.
Who helped me secretly? Gu Yan was so curious.
Gu Yan thought it might be the reason why she felt uneasy yesterday. But what was going on? She had no clue!
When Assistant Liu saw that Jiang Jingcheng and Gu Yan were serious, she was no longer excited at all. Then she asked Gu Yan carefully, “President Gu, is there any problem?”
Gu Yan thought for a long time, but nothing came out. She shook her head and said, “No. Nothing. Although we are sure to win, we still should be more careful. Don’t make any mistake.”
Assistant smiled and said, “Of course! We won’t take it easy!” Although she said so, from her expression, she didn’t keep in mind.
Gu Yan shook her head secretly but didn’t say anything because from current situation, the project was absolutely her own.
She thought a while and then asked, “What’s the result of drawing lots? When it our turn?”
Assistant Liu stretched out a hand and said, “It’s the fifth, in the middle.” Gu Yan relieved. This position was perfect. Even if something happened, she still had time to deal with it.
It didn’t take long for the second session to begin.
Because Gu Yan was still on guard against, she listened very carefully about the bidding tenders from other companies. However, there was a big gap between their tenders and hers. They were impossible to threaten her.
So, where was the problem? It didn’t work out for Gu Yan to think about it.
“Now, let’s invite the fifth company to explain their bidding documents!” Soon, the host announced that it was her turn.
