After school the next day, Jian Ai and Si Yue went out of the school gate.
“Are you going straight to the company?” Si Yue asked Jian Ai.
Jian Ai nodded and patted Si Yue’s shoulder apologetically. “It’s been hard on you. If you think it’s boring to go back, you can go to Bai Zhou’s place. You can go back after dinner.”
She would only go home at dawn these few days. At that time, Si Yue would be asleep.
Si Yue nodded. “I understand.”
!!
The company’s car was parked by the road. They would pick Jian Ai up punctually in the next few days. Jian Ai was about to get into the car when someone called her from behind.
“Senior Sister Jian Ai!”
Jian Ai paused and looked back. She saw Jian Yichen walking towards her quickly.
Jian Ai’s heart stopped. She looked at Jian Yichen, who was walking towards her, and her heart thumped.
She didn’t react much to Jian Changsheng, but when she looked at Jian Yichen, she felt completely different from before.
Jian Yichen was her half-brother. This feeling was indescribably strange. Jian Ai did not feel repulsed, but she was not happy at all.
It was a strange feeling. Jian Ai couldn’t say for sure, but it differed from before.
In her daze, Jian Yichen had already arrived in front of Jian Ai. Jian Ai regained her senses and quickly smiled. “Yichen.”
Jian Yichen felt nothing different about Jian Ai. He just opened his bag and took out the PSP and game cards Jian Ai had lent him.
Everything was in a paper bag, and it was well preserved.
“I’ll return this to you. Thank you for lending it to me!” Jian Yichen looked at Jian Ai.
Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before asking, “You cleared all of them?”
Jian Yichen nodded. “Yes, all of them.”
Jian Ai reached out to take it and smiled at Jian Yichen. “Alright, I’ll take it back. If there are any out-of-print game cards in the future, I’ll lend them to you to play.”
“Alright, thank you, Senior.” Jian Yichen nodded seriously, but emotions filled his eyes.
Jian Ai was a little dazed, but she instantly steadied herself and said to Jian Yichen, “I still have something on, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Bye.”
“Goodbye, Senior!” Jian Yichen pursed his lips and nodded obediently.
Sitting in the car, Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen, who was standing by the road, in the rearview mirror. It was true that she liked this brother, but when she thought of their relationship, Jian Ai felt strange.
She still liked their previous relationship.
Jian Ai went to the company every day when the employees got off work. There were few people left in the office area.
“CEO, you’re here.” Bai Zhou’s secretary was waiting at her post as usual. “I’ve placed the documents on the table for you.”
Jian Ai smiled and nodded.
After entering the office, Jian Ai was not in the mood to think about anything else. Instead, she quickly entered work mode.
Not long after, the secretary made coffee and brought it in. “CEO, I called to order dinner for you. Someone will deliver it later.”
“Thank you. You should get off work soon,” Jian Ai said.
The secretary nodded and turned to leave, but she turned around and said, “Oh, right. CEO, I have something important to report to you.”
Jian Ai stopped what she was doing and looked up at the secretary. “What is it?”
The secretary answered, “The bidding for the reconstruction project in the old district of South City has started. Our company is also qualified to bid.”
Ordinary government projects, be it development, reconstruction, or demolition, required bids. To get a government project, one had to compete with many real estate companies at the same time. It could be said to be quite intense.
However, Jian Ai looked at the secretary in surprise. “The bidding starts now? Isn’t South City not demolished yet?”
Jian Ai’s family lived in South City. Although her family had long moved out of South City, as far as she knew, South City had been preparing for demolition, but the works had not started yet.
They did not even demolish it, but the bidding for the reconstruction work was about to start?
When the secretary heard this, she explained, “I heard the works will start at the end of this month. Moreover, the news of the bid was released by the higher-ups, so it must be true. Today, our company department held a meeting under the lead of the Vice President. We discussed this matter with each other. Everyone agreed that the company is developing vigorously. If we can take down the government reconstruction project in South City, it will be like adding wings to a tiger and letting the company gain both fame and fortune.”
Jian Ai nodded. She knew the benefits this project would bring to the company.
It was not just her East Sea Real Estate. It would definitely be beneficial to any company that could take down such a huge government project.
However, Jian Ai was uncertain about the specifications of South City’s reconstruction project and whether her East Sea Real Estate was competitive. If she accidentally got this project, would she be able to complete it smoothly?
These were all obvious factors. Most importantly, the opponents she might face directly were the Jian Group, Hongxiang Group, and even Uncle Chen’s Century Group.
To be honest, Jian Ai was not confident.
However, although she was not confident, it did not mean that Jian Ai would easily miss such a good opportunity. How many times could a city be demolished and rebuilt? If she did not fight for it this time, she would probably not have a chance in the future.
Therefore, Jian Ai looked at the secretary and nodded solemnly. “Tell the vice president tomorrow that I’ll write the bidding document myself.”
The secretary smiled. “Alright, I’ll pass it on.”
At this moment, Hongxiang Group was holding a meeting about the bid for South City’s reconstruction project.
In the conference room, Lu Youcai looked at the company’s higher-ups and said seriously, “The company has to do its best for this bid. Because our biggest competitor, the Jian Group, is already in charge of the demolition project in South City, the government might not give the Jian Group the chance to rebuild. This is Hongxiang’s opportunity. The biggest competitors we’ll face are Century Group, Dasheng Group, and M Group’s East Sea Real Estate!”
“Among them, this unknown East Sea Real Estate should not to be ignored. As you know, this company’s big move this year has caused an unprecedented sensation. The qualifications for South City’s reconstruction bid are also on the list. It seems that the government trusts and cares about this company, so no matter what, everyone can’t take them lightly!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Youcai looked at the young man in a suit and said, “Zhao Hua, you’ll write the bid this time. Remember, highlight Hongxiang’s advantage so that the higher-ups can confirm Hongxiang’s strength immediately when they look at it. Only then can we maximize our chances.”
The person called Zhao Hua nodded. “Got it, Chairman.”
