Chapter 1185: Results of the First Round of Bidding
If not for her, his relationship with Jian Yiyi would not have gone down the drain. To think that he had spent so much effort, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
However, Liao Bo still felt a little afraid when he thought of that matter. He almost died! He was glad that he was vigilant enough to choose safety at the last moment. Otherwise, if this matter reached his father, he could not bear the consequences.
His father was a high-ranking official in Jin Province. If he caused such a scandal, it would affect his father.
However, there was still time in the future. He was not an impatient person. If he didn’t know that Jian Yiyi was going to film with the production team, he wouldn’t have used such a despicable method.
On the way back to class, Jian Ai couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she thought of Liao Bo’s smug look.
Jian Yiyi had been in the production team for a while, and Jian Ai had never been interested in her. She didn’t know how her relationship with Senior Liao Bo was and if they had broken up. Jian Ai vaguely remembered that Jian Yiyi was still with Senior Liao Bo before she entered the production team.
Sometimes, this girl was too smart, and sometimes, she was like a fool. How could she not understand what had happened that night? Or did she know in her heart but refuse to let go of a high-ranking boyfriend like Liao Bo, who was a governor’s son?
Jian Ai was naturally not interested in thinking about this. Back then, saving her once on a whim was already her limit. Even if she knew she was her half-sister, Jian Ai still could not muster up any sympathy for her, let alone any feelings. Instead, she seemed to hate her even more?
Jian Ai didn’t know where her emotions came from. It sounded ridiculous, but it was true. When she thought of her relationship with Jian Yiyi, Jian Ai felt disgusted for no reason!
Not wanting to think about this annoying matter anymore, Jian Ai went straight back to class. As soon as she entered, Guan Tao rushed up.
“Xiao Ai, you’re finally back!”
After not seeing her for a long time, Guan Tao had lost some weight and turned fairer.
Jian Ai smiled at her. “You miss me, right?”
Guan Tao nodded hard. “Qinghuan left, and you applied for leave. I’m so bored! Besides, I heard from Lin Yi that you went abroad?”
During the time Jian Ai was abroad, she could only contact Lin Yi by phone or via messaging. Because of the time difference, they exchanged messages, but it was impossible for them to be online at the same time.
Because of her family background, Guan Tao didn’t have a phone or a computer. She wasn’t the type to go to an Internet cafe, so she could only learn about Jian Ai from Lin Yi.
Jian Ai nodded. “Yes, I went out for a while, but I didn’t go out to play. I had something on!”
Jian Ai said nothing else. Instead, she changed the topic and asked Guan Tao, “I promised Qinghuan to visit this weekend. Do you want to come along?”
“Alright, I’ll apply for leave from the boss of the fast-food restaurant.” Guan Tao didn’t hesitate. She hadn’t seen Qinghuan for a long time, and she missed her!
…
Two days later, the results of the first round of bidding for South City’s reconstruction plan were out.
Just like the previous bidding model, the companies qualified to take part in the bidding this time would compete as indicator scores.
They would evaluate the size of the corporation, its financial index, and the bidding document. In the end, they would rely on the overall index score to determine the five companies that were shortlisted for the second round of bidding!
Jian Ai knew that today was the day they would announce the results of the bidding, so she had been waiting for Bai Zhou’s call.
At eight in the morning, the phone rang punctually. Jian Ai quickly picked it up. “How was it?”
Jian Ai asked directly. Although she had always treated this matter with a Buddhist attitude, she couldn’t help but feel nervous and expectant.
“We’re in!” Bai Zhou’s delighted voice sounded. “We successfully passed the first round, so we’re entering the second round of bidding!”
“Really?” It delighted Jian Ai and she couldn’t help but feel surprised.
It had to be known that any of the ten real estate companies taking part in the bid was more experienced than East Sea Real Estate. It was difficult for East Sea Real Estate to get into the top five by getting rid of five of the ten companies!
“Boss, I’ve seen the company’s evaluation. The first two are indeed our weaknesses. Our scores are indeed a little low compared to other companies. However, for the bidding document, the higher-ups gave full marks! We pulled our scores back immediately!” Bai Zhou said agitatedly!
Full marks for the bidding document!
Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. She had written this bidding document herself!
Feeling his boss’s joy, Bai Zhou smiled as well. “To enter the second round of bidding is undoubtedly a huge encouragement and affirmation for our company. Boss, now, the entire Baiyun City real estate world won’t dare to underestimate us!”
Jian Ai agreed. “This is the best publicity!”
Bidding for projects had always been the most important thing in the industry. Even companies that were not qualified to bid would pay attention to the results in real time to understand the developments in the real estate industry.
East Sea Real Estate had created another miracle in the industry this time. A new company had entered the second round of such an enormous project bidding. It was enough to attract everyone’s attention!
At this moment, at the Lu family!
“What did you say?”
Before Lu Youcai could enjoy the joy of Hongxiang Group entering the second round of bidding, he was so angry that he stomped his feet!
“A palm-sized real estate company wants to take such a big slice like South City?” Lu Youcai held his phone and asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
According to Lu Youcai’s many years of experience in the real estate industry and the countless bids Hongxiang had taken part in, in his eyes, East Sea Real Estate could not enter the second round because it ranked last among the ten companies selected in terms of corporation size and financial index.
How could they squeeze into the top five?
The person on the other end of the phone carefully said, “Chairman, the other party’s bidding document received full marks!”
Lu Youcai: !!!
Full marks for the bidding document?
How was this possible?
How could there be a bidding document with full marks? He had been in the industry for decades, but he had never seen a bidding document with full marks! What a joke!
“Are you sure?” Lu Youcai asked in disbelief.
The other party answered, “CEO, the results are in my hands. It’s indeed a bidding document with full marks. It instantly increased their position from tenth to fifth!”
“This…” Lu Youcai frowned, but he was shocked.
What kind of talent in East Sea Real Estate could write a full score bidding document?
