Watching the convoy leave, Du Linlang said to her sister in a serious tone: "Linhuan, you'd better not have any thoughts. As far as I know, His Highness Zhou is going to be engaged to Princess Qiao Yu of Yaslan."

Du Linhuan was looking at Lingzhou's convoy as it gradually left. She was stunned when she heard the words and shouted in surprise, "What? His Highness Lingzhou is going to be engaged to Princess Yaslan? Sister, you are not mistaken, are you?"

Du Linlang looked at her sister, shook her head, and said, "A few days ago, because I had to deal with His Highness, I contacted my classmate in Europe and asked about His Highness Zhou. She told me about this matter."

As she spoke, she looked at Du Linhuan, who was full of dissatisfaction, and said, "My classmate was born into an ancient European noble family. The news cannot be wrong. Well, I have said everything I need to say. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, she left the place alone.

Du Linhuan's expression changed for a moment. After a while, she snorted and followed.

…

After leaving the manor, Ling Zhou's convoy drove towards Yintan Villa.

During this period, the bidding for the Sailboat Hotel held at Silver Moon Bay Manor came to a successful conclusion.

But the result surprised countless people.

Unexpectedly, the final winner turned out to be Lanbei Royal Construction Group.

In fact, in the eyes of many people outside, the French Bouygues Group is the most likely to win the bid, because the French Bouygues Group is ranked first in the world in terms of strength, qualifications, etc.

As a result, unexpectedly, it was Lanbei Royal Construction Group that became the final winner.

This time, not only Korean netizens were shocked, surprised that Dashan Company actually lost. Even other netizens were stunned for a moment and started to discuss.

In an industry circle.

"The failure of Dashan Construction Company was within everyone's expectations, but it failed a little too quickly."

"Yes! Dashan's defeat was expected. But the defeat of the Bouygues Group was a bit unexpected."

"These days, although everyone is constantly discussing which of the three companies including Bouygues will be the final winner, everyone has already determined in their hearts that the French Bouygues Group will win, but the result... Alas!"

"Although the result was unexpected, it's still acceptable."

“Yes, it would be ridiculous if an unknown small company won the bid.”

"Lamba Royal Construction Company is also ranked among the top five in the international construction industry. Its strength is beyond doubt."

“Look forward to the completion of the world’s first seven-star hotel.”

"Hey! Everyone, tell me, is there something fishy going on in this bidding?"

"What's the trick?"

"Hehe! Don't forget, everyone, some time ago, the princess of the Lanbei royal family just visited Lanling. The Lanbei Royal Construction Group is the property of the Lanbei royal family. If Princess Lanbei and Prince Lanling have any private transactions, hehe!"

"Hey! Now that you mention it, it's really possible."

"Humph! If that's the case, then it's unfair that the Bouygues Group lost. This so-called bidding would be fair if Prince Lan Ling had no opinions. If he did have opinions, then haha."

"Yes! Indeed..."

A group of people in the industry were talking about it, and gradually, the news spread.

Then, a group of people jumped out, muttering about shady dealings and so on.

The most excited ones were Korean netizens. They were fighting for Dashan Construction Company, thinking that Dashan Construction Company failed because of some shady dealings. This made many netizens laugh.

Even if there is no shady dealings, it would be difficult for Dashan Construction to compete with Bouygues Group and Lanbei Royal Construction Group.

The comprehensive strength of these two companies is stronger than that of Dashan Construction.

…

Silver Beach Villa.

A convoy of cars stopped in front of the villa. Ling Zhou got out of the car and stretched lazily. Listening to Chen Yiru's report on the situation on the Internet, he smiled and shook his head, gave a casual order, and ignored it.

His attention at this moment was on the system.

Because just now, the system task rewards were distributed and the countdown began.

Countdown - 60 minutes.

…

Regarding the outside world's controversy, whether it is Lanling, Lanbei Royal Construction Company, or the French Bouygues Group, they all remain silent.

"I think those people are just jealous, that's why they are complaining about the shady dealings."

Lanling, Yinyue Bay, in a hotel room. Du Linhuan sat on the sofa, looking through the discussions on the Internet, and said with a pout.

Du Linlang shook her head upon hearing this.

In fact, she couldn't tell whether there was any shady dealings in this bidding.

Perhaps, in private, Lingzhou and Princess Lanbei really had some kind of deal?

"Sister, you have been to His Highness Zhou's villa in Silver Beach. Please take me there."

Du Linhuan pulled Du Linlang's arm and said with a smile.

She originally wanted to go there by herself, but she didn't know where Lingzhou's villa was, and Yintan was so big that it was not easy to find.

Coincidentally, Du Linlang had been there once.

Du Linlang frowned and said, "No."

Upon hearing this, Du Linhuan curled her lips and sat aside.

After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I want to come to Lanling to study abroad."

When Du Linlang heard this, he turned to look at Du Linhuan and said, "Linhuan, don't be stupid."

She suddenly felt very regretful and let her sister follow her to the bidding meeting, where she met Ling Zhou.

…

At the Silver Beach Villa, Ling Zhou listened to Chen Yiru's report on the outside world while paying attention to the 'countdown for the distribution of mission rewards'.

Ling Zhou was also speechless regarding this system's 'mission reward'.

First, I "calculated" it for half a month.

Finally the calculation was done and the countdown started again.

This is too torturous.

"Your Highness, Princess Qiao Yu is here and would like to invite you to have lunch with her."

Chen Yiru walked over and said.

"Hmm? If you don't see me, just say I'm sleeping."

Ling Zhou looked at the system and said without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiru looked at Ling Zhou, a little speechless.

Everyone knows that you just came back from the bidding meeting, why are you sleeping?

But looking at Ling Zhou's appearance, Chen Yiru had no choice but to nod.

…

In a reception room of Silver Beach Villa.

After hearing what Chen Yiru said, Qiao Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, then she was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for His Highness Zhou to wake up."

Chen Yiru was stunned, nodded, and left the reception room.

…

Half an hour later.

"Your Highness, it's lunch time. Would you like to invite Princess Qiao Yu to dine with you?"

Chen Yiru asked Ling Zhou.

However, Ling Zhou didn't respond to his shout.

"Your Highness?"

Chen Yiru shouted again.

Ling Zhou finally reacted and looked at the task reward that had just been issued in the system and took a deep breath.
