"Impossible." A sharp voice shattered the cheerful atmosphere, and Zheng Qian's face turned ugly.
"Is it a mispronunciation? How could it be 'vast'?"
“Why couldn’t it be Guangda?” Li Xiuyuan asked Zheng Qian with a smile. “President Zheng, are you questioning the fairness of our selection process?”
"I..." Zheng Qian looked at Zhang Xingguo: "Secretary Zhang, say something! Didn't you promise..."
"Cough cough cough." Zhang Xingguo interrupted Zheng Qian, who was speaking somewhat recklessly, "President Zheng, this bidding process was fair and just. On behalf of the central town, I can assure you that if you have any objections, you can come to me privately later."
Zheng Qian opened his mouth, his face full of anger, not only directed at Li Xiuyuan, but also at Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng, or rather, mainly at Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng.
Li Xiuyuan knew that Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng had been against him from the beginning and didn't want him to participate in the project. But Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng had assured him that he would definitely win the bid.
"Alright, since there are no problems, let's give another round of applause to congratulate General Manager Chen and Guangda Construction." Li Xiuyuan smiled and clapped again.
Zheng Qian's face turned bright red. Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he felt that Li Xiuyuan was mocking him.
After the applause subsided, Chen Guangda, on behalf of Guangda Construction Company, stated that they would do their utmost to complete the second phase of the Meilin Village project with high quality and quantity.
Chen Guangda had barely finished speaking, and Li Xiuyuan hadn't even started to organize everyone to go eat, when Zheng Qian turned and left. He couldn't stay a minute longer; he felt that everyone's gazes towards him carried a strange meaning.
The local leaders and staff in the central town are like this, as are the two deputy general managers of the city's construction companies, and even Jinbao from the Huangyuan County Construction Company is like this.
That smile was glaringly irritating.
That's not all. The key issue is that Chen Guangda, who's right next to me, glances at me every two sentences. The meaning behind that is all too obvious.
Just ten minutes ago, he was bragging to the other party in the corridor that he was sure he would win the bid and would subcontract the project to them. But now it turns out that Guangda Construction Company won the bid, which made him feel quite ashamed.
Every word Chen Guangda said was a slap in the face to him.
Zheng Qian disregarded all decorum; he didn't actually have the item, and turned to leave.
But just then, Li Xiuyuan called out to Zheng Qian.
"Mr. Zheng, where are you going? Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat now. Are you going to eat or not if you leave now?"
Zheng Qian stumbled, didn't dare look back, and slammed the door shut as he left.
"Haha, it seems our General Manager Zheng is a bit upset, but I believe he will understand. Let's leave him be and go eat. The town has already made arrangements. Please."
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Zhang Xingguo and Hou Peng were originally planning to leave after Chen Guangda's speech, but they wanted to see how many people would go to the lunch party after the Party Secretary and the Mayor left, so they could make things difficult for Li Xiuyuan.
But after Li Xiuyuan's actions against Zheng Qian, they all became hesitant, fearing that Li Xiuyuan might say something else that would put them in a difficult position. Zheng Qian could simply walk away, but they still had their pride and wanted to continue working here.
