Seeing this, Lin Qingtong immediately sensed something was wrong.
She felt that Lin Jiaorui must have done something to make her smile like that.
Just then, the host on stage held two bidding proposals, looking troubled.
"This matter will probably require a decision from the judges."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong's expression turned serious, her eyes fixed on the host as she handed the bidding proposal to judge Xu Tian.
Xu Tian took the bidding proposal and glanced indifferently at the date it was submitted.
He stood up solemnly, holding a document, and made an announcement.
"Since the two contracts are identical in content and price, we have unanimously decided to adopt the first one submitted."
Congratulations, Miss Lin Jiaorui.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Qingtong's expression changed instantly. She coldly stared at Xu Tian and the smug Lin Jiaorui in front of her.
No wonder Lin Jiaorui was so smug just now; she had made preparations in advance.
Lin Qingtong, however, was not so easily bullied and directly stood up to question him.
"Our proposals are identical, and the prices are the same. Why were Ms. Lin Jiaorui's proposals adopted without my input?"
“In that case, I have the right to question whether there are problems within your organization, whether you are colluding with clients, and whether you are abusing your power for personal gain.”
His words were resounding and reached everyone's ears.
Xu Tian glanced at Lin Qingtong up and down, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Lin Jiaorui is the mistress of the second master of the Shen family, so naturally she should be respected.
Although Lin Qingtong was pretty, she was nothing special, so he naturally favored Lin Jiaorui.
"Miss, please don't cause trouble. It's already good enough that our bidding committee didn't suspect you of plagiarism."
"We're just trying to save face for you, don't make things difficult for yourself."
After hearing this, Lin Qingtong gave a cold smile.
"Whether he plagiarized me or not, you made a hasty decision without even investigating. Isn't that extremely unfair?"
At this moment, Lin Jiaorui stepped forward, crossed her arms, and spoke.
"If you have doubts, then produce the evidence."
His eyes were full of smugness, as if he was certain that Lin Qingtong had no evidence at all.
Just then, Song Kai stepped forward and said, "Miss Lin Jiaorui, I can vouch for Miss Lin that this proposal was indeed written by her personally."
Lin Jiaorui still had a cold smile on her lips, "But if my sister can't produce any evidence, then I can just find anyone to say it, and that will also be proof."
"Isn't this kind of witness too frivolous? If my sister can't produce any evidence, she should just admit it directly."
She suddenly leaned closer, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.
"I won't blame my sister for anything, at most I'll ask for an apology."
Lin Qingtong kept a cold face; an apology was absolutely out of the question.
"Who says I have no evidence?"
She took out her computer and was about to turn it on when she found that it had crashed.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that her computer had been splashed with water at some point.
When I lifted the computer, water was still dripping down.
Lin Qingtong looked at the scene before her, her whole body exuding a terrifyingly cold aura.
It's obvious that Lin Jiaorui was the one who did it.
Lin Jiaorui looked at Lin Qingtong with feigned innocence and spoke with a smile.
"My sister says I plagiarized; shouldn't she provide evidence?"
Lin Qingtong put down the computer, her slender fingers resting on the table, her mind racing, trying to find evidence to prove that the plan was hers.
But the computer was broken, and no evidence could be found.
She could only retort coldly, "No matter what, you're the one who should provide evidence."
"You should prove that you were not the one who plagiarized."
Since we can't produce evidence, let's make the other party produce evidence.
But Lin Jiaorui just kept focusing on one point.
"If my sister suspects me, then you, not me, should be the one providing evidence."
"Since my sister can't produce any evidence, then this land plot in the bidding belongs to me."
Lin Qingtong watched helplessly as Lin Jiaorui walked towards the judges, her expression excessively cold.
Someone must be helping Lin Jiaorui in secret.
Just then, Lin Qingtong suddenly received a phone call, and a faint voice came from the other end.
"Check your text messages."
Lin Qingtong hung up the phone, opened the text message, and her eyes lit up immediately.
Seeing that her eyes brightened, Lin Jiaorui spoke sarcastically.
"Sister, stop pretending. You really want this land, don't you? Why don't you beg me?"
She had a faint expectation that Lin Qingtong would stand in front of her and humbly beg.
Just imagining that scene made her feel relieved.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingtong stood calmly with her slender hand resting on her arm.
"Since you want it so badly, you'd better hold on tight."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui was stunned. Lin Qingtong had just admitted defeat like that?
She found it hard to believe and wondered if she had guessed wrong.
But then he thought that he now had the Shen family backing him, and if he succeeded in this endeavor, his status would definitely rise sharply.
It's normal for Lin Qingtong to be afraid of herself.
Lin Jiaorui smiled smugly, "Sister is scared."
Lin Qingtong remained unaffected and replied calmly, "Yes, I was scared, so I gave you the things. You had better impress me."
He left a comment, took the proposal from judge Xu Tian, and went straight back to his seat.
Lin Jiaorui took the contract and glanced down at Lin Qingtong.
Once she gets engaged, it will prove that she has been accepted by the Shen family, and at that time she will definitely be able to completely overshadow Lin Qingtong.
The bidding continued, but Lin Qingtong hadn't prepared for the subsequent land sales, so he had no capital to participate in the auction.
She sat there quietly, looking down at the text messages on her phone.
The text message clearly stated that there were problems with the land, that the residents being relocated were dissatisfied, and that some people were unwilling to move and were causing trouble.
Most importantly, an ancient tomb has been discovered under the land, making it unlikely that construction can begin in the short term.
These lands were originally intended by the government to subsidize foreign companies, with the aim of developing the suburban economy.
If Lin Qingtong misses this opportunity, she will have to pay a high price to buy it later.
She thought she was destined to miss it today, but suddenly a pair of high-end custom-made leather shoes appeared in front of her.
Lin Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then looked up and was caught off guard by a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.
Shen Tinghe stood there with one hand in his pocket, exuding an air of nobility and distinction, and handed a proposal to Lin Qingtong.
"Take a look."
Lin Qingtong took the proposal and looked at it carefully, and found that it was the bidding proposal for the last piece of land.
This plot of land is the most sought-after, and there are many competitors.
Because this piece of land is right next to an industrial park, it's practically like it was given to us for free by the authorities.
For a moment, her heart raced slightly.
He hadn't experienced fighting a large group of people for something in a long time, and he was actually a little excited.
Shen Tinghe's deep, hoarse voice rang out again.
"If it doesn't pass, I'll pay to buy it back for you."
