Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua exchanged a glance and immediately did as instructed.

The two quickly drafted a statement each.

The notices, issued in the names of "Luyao Group" and "Tenghui Group" respectively, stated concisely that due to force majeure, they voluntarily withdrew from the bidding for the Jiangcheng Development Zone project.

Then,

They sent the two electronic statements directly to the person in charge of the control center responsible for displaying information on the large screen at the venue.

Almost at the same time,

The host of the bidding meeting announced: "Now, representatives of each bidding unit, please confirm the sealing of your final bids and prepare to submit them..."

Before he finished speaking, the huge LED screen at the front of the venue suddenly flashed, and the promotional video for the development zone that was playing was replaced by two eye-catching statements!

The headline of the "Withdrawal Statement" was bright red.

Below are scanned copies of the logos and official seals of "Luyao Group" and "Tenghui Group"! The content is exactly what Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua just sent!

"Whoosh—!"

The room erupted in an uproar! Everyone was stunned, including Jiang Hai, who was smugly anticipating seeing Lu Qingzhou make a fool of himself!

He suddenly stood up and stared at the big screen in disbelief!

Lu Yao and Teng Hui suddenly withdrew from the bid? This completely disrupted his plans!

He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua.

The two women sat there expressionless, as if the two shocking statements had nothing to do with them.

Mu Shaohua appeared calm, but her clenched fists betrayed her inner tension.

"What happened? Why did Lu Yao and Teng Hui suddenly withdraw?"

"My God, won't Hengsheng be able to dominate the market now?"

"There must be something going on! Could it be Hengsheng behind this?"

"Look at President Jiang's face! Haha, it's turned green!"

Several powerful conglomerates submitted bids, only to suddenly withdraw. This inevitably raises questions about the underlying reasons.

The signs point directly to Hengsheng!

Reporters' flashes went off wildly at the big screen and Jiang Hai, causing some temporary chaos in the venue.

The host was also confused and quickly signaled to the technicians to switch the camera.

Ignoring the surrounding noise, Lu Qingzhou's mind was half on the venue and half already on the abandoned factory filled with the aura of death.

His phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket; a message from Leng Yue:

"My men are in position, operation begins. Signal may be jammed, remain silent. Chen Xiaoxi's location has been preliminarily pinpointed, safe."

Lu Qingzhou felt a little more at ease, but the anxiety still lingered.

He had to be here to witness the complete collapse of Hengsheng Group, and use the victory of this project to comfort his father's spirit in heaven!

Then, he will rush to rescue Chen Xiaoxi!

The bidding process continued in an eerie atmosphere.

When it was Hengsheng Group's turn to submit its bid, Jiang Hai's face was almost ashen as he forced himself to go on stage with confidence.

He was filled with doubt and uncertainty regarding his two competitors, 'Lu Yao' and 'Teng Hui'.

Jiang Hai naturally knew about it. Lu Yao and Teng Hui's sudden withdrawal was too unusual.

What tricks is Lu Qingzhou up to?

Did you just come here to take a look?

Jiang Hai's thoughts were in a mess; he couldn't figure it out!

When the host mentioned 'Lu's Group'

Jiang Hai instinctively flinched and looked towards the stage.

The representative of the 'Lu Group' is Lu Qingzhou himself.

He straightened his suit and, under everyone's gaze, calmly walked onto the stage.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hai sneered: "The Lu Group? What a joke!"

In his view, apart from 'Luyao' and 'Tenghui', the other bidding companies present were not worth mentioning at all!

Lu Qingzhou walked with firm steps and his spine was straight, just like the boy who, five years ago, suppressed his grief and vowed revenge at his father's funeral.

He walked to the bidding table and solemnly placed the Lu Group's bid, which embodied the hard work of countless people and carried both deep-seated hatred and future hopes, into the bidding box.

At that moment, he seemed to see his father's gratified gaze.

"Lu's Group confirms submission."

Lu Qingzhou's voice, steady and powerful, resonated clearly throughout the venue through the microphone.

Jiang Hai stared intently at him, trying to find any flaws in his face, but only saw a deep calm.

After the tender documents were submitted, the review process entered the closed review stage by the review committee.

The meeting was temporarily paused, but the atmosphere became even more somber and oppressive.

Everyone is speculating about the truth behind the sudden withdrawal of 'Lu Yao' and 'Teng Hui', and how much of a chance the newly formed 'Avenger' Lu Group has.

After all, five years ago, the name 'Lu's Group' was a benchmark enterprise in Jiangcheng!

at this time,

Reporters, like sharks smelling blood, tried to surround Lu Qingzhou and Jiang Hai for interviews.

Lu Qingzhou declined all interviews and sat quietly in a corner with Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao.

They waited anxiously for news from Leng Yue.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like torture.

The review process took longer than expected.

Just as everyone was getting a little anxious, the chairman of the judging committee walked back onto the stage with a serious expression.

The room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

"After rigorous and impartial review by the expert evaluation committee, and comprehensive consideration of factors such as the qualifications, proposals, prices, and social contributions of each bidding unit,"

The chairman's voice was steady and powerful: "I hereby announce that the successful bidder for the core plot project in Jiangcheng Development Zone is—"

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Lu Qingzhou.
