Suffer the consequences of one's actions
The bidding will take place as scheduled, and Ji Jinyan, Gu Li'an and Ye Lin will go to the bidding site together.
"Jin Yan, you really won't change your bid price. It's not too late to do so before you leave."
Ji Jinyan ignored him.
Ye Lin came to the gathering place of the three people. Gu Lian turned around when he heard someone coming.
Gu Li'an's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "It's you, pretty girl. So you are the newly hired controller. Do you remember me? We met last time at Xia Zao'an's place."
"Remember, Mr. Gu." Last time I learned from Zaoan that Gu Lian was the vice president of DY. I didn't expect that Gu Lian didn't know that Ye Lin was the new controller. Xia Zaoan deliberately did not tell Gu Lian that Ye Lin was also in DY.
The last time he'd had dinner with Xia Zaoan and Ye Lin, he'd been unsuccessful in asking for Ye Lin's contact information. Gu Li'an had been meaning to ask Xia Zaoan for it when he had time, but he'd been so busy lately with the bidding that he'd forgotten about it. He'd never expected her to be Ye Lin. Gu Li'an had a vague idea that Ji Jinyan treated Ye Lin differently, so now that he knew her identity, he'd given up on his thoughts.
"Know him?" Ji Jinyan asked.
"Oh, we've met before." Gu Lian replied.
"Let's go first."
"Okay." Gu Liyan said as he opened the back door and was about to get in, but was grabbed by Ji Jinyan.
"Sit in the front."
Gu Liyan looked at Ji Jinyan and Ye Lin, and understood in his heart, as if to say, I understand.
He said to Ye Lin, "Ah, I forgot I get carsick. I'll sit in the front, and you sit in the back with Jin Yan."
Gu Lian went to the co-pilot seat. Of course, generally speaking, the boss would sit in the back and the employees would sit in the front, but since Ji Jinyan didn't mind, Ye Lin went to the back seat.
The three of them arrived at the bidding site and entered the venue, where Chang Yongqiang came to greet them.
"Jinyan, are you doing okay lately?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
“Humph, since I got the project that was originally from Changsheng Group, of course I’m living well.”
"Mr. Chang, you're joking. How can you say it's yours before the project is finalized? Whoever gets it in the end will depend on their ability," Gu Lian interrupted.
Gu Lian'an was implying that Chang Yongqiang was incompetent. Chang Yongqiang's face turned ugly when he heard this.
"Jinyan, when I met your father, DY was just beginning to take off. I attended your full-month banquet back then, and according to seniority, you should still call me uncle. You have just taken over DY, and you don't understand a lot of things. As your elder, I don't mind teaching you. You are still young and too impetuous, and you still have a lot to learn." Chang Yongqiang patted Ji Jinyan's shoulder and left.
The assistant who had come to see Ye Lin was also there. "Ms. Ye, I heard that you were the one who planned this. I'm looking forward to it." Then he followed Chang Yongqiang away.
The bidding will officially begin. The usual process is to first introduce the performance advantages and future development advantages of the land, and finally announce the low bid and the championship result.
"Finally, we will announce our final partner for Central China Real Estate. It will be between Changsheng Group and DY Group. Changsheng Group's final offer is 36 million yuan."
After hearing this, Gu Li'an said, "It's only six million higher than our offer. I told you our low price has been leaked. I'm afraid it's in jeopardy now."
When Gu Li'an first learned that the controller was Ye Lin, he had some faith in her, thinking she wouldn't do this. However, Changsheng Group's lower price, only six million, must have been leaked, and Gu Li'an's favorable impression of Ye Lin declined somewhat.
When Chang Yongqiang saw Gu Lian'an's expression, he smiled smugly and cunningly.
The host's voice continued, "So what's the price DY Group is offering? 3,601 yuan. Congratulations to DY Group for winning the bid and obtaining the right to use and ownership of the land at Ansheng No. 7, Chengnan Street, Xicheng Middle Road."
Chang Yongqiang was shocked when he heard this and angrily asked the assistant beside him, "What's going on?"
The assistant was also very flustered and at a loss. Chang Yongqiang didn't understand anything. He had fallen into Ji Jinyan's trap.
"Idiot." Chang Yongqiang cursed and left early because he couldn't stay any longer.
At that time, the assistant asked, "Ms. Ye, what is your choice?"
Ye Lin smiled slightly, "I refuse."
The man seemed surprised. "What did you say?"
Ye Lin stood up and said, "It's not a glorious thing to bribe your opponent with this kind of means. Sorry, I won't accompany you."
Ye Lin strode away, not giving the man any more chance to talk nonsense.
Ye Lin refused so straightforwardly. The assistant deliberately said those suspicious words at the bidding venue just because he was holding a grudge and wanted to frame Ye Lin.
Over here at DY Group, Ye Lin and the other two were also on their way back. Someone else in the company was waiting for their return, and Yi Qianqian was wondering what would happen to Ye Lin after she failed in the bid.
Ye Lin wasn't falling for it, so the assistant naturally found someone else. This time, his judgment was quite accurate, finding the person who disliked Ye Lin the most in the entire company. The assistant's offer was enough to tempt Yi Qianqian, and she agreed. Therefore, it was Yi Qianqian who revealed the DY offer to Chang Sheng.
Yi Qianqian figured that if Ye Lin failed to win the bid and the reserve price were leaked, she would be the most suspected, and she would then be expelled from DY. After they left, Yi Qianqian wrote a letter of denunciation regarding the relationship between Li Yao and Li Ming. Waiting for Ji Jinyan's return would allow her to eliminate two unpleasant individuals at once, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, Yi Qianqian was eager for their return.
The three people who were rushing back at this time said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't change the quote? It seems you guessed Chang Sheng's quote in advance. If yours is really one dollar higher than Chang Sheng's, then Chang Yongqiang's face will explode with anger."
When Jianye received the two bids, they knew both parties were using some sort of manipulation, but Jianye naturally didn't care; they only cared about which company would benefit the most. DY's original bid of 30 million wasn't very high, but judging by the future business plans both companies had already outlined, choosing DY would yield a higher commission. However, Jianye, always concerned with profit, seemed more concerned with the bid price this time. It was clear that DY, and Chang Sheng, could see this, so they exploited this loophole and devised a way to figure out Jianye's original target bid was 36 million.
Chang Sheng wanted to beat DY at the lowest cost, but before the bidding started this morning, Ji Jinyan had not wavered in his determination to stick to his bid, but Ye Lin came to find Ji Jinyan.
"Is there something?" Ji Jinyan spoke first.
"I think the original bid price needs to be revised." Ji Jinyan raised an eyebrow. Ye Lin knew that Chang Yongqiang's assistant would definitely find another way if he couldn't get the price from Ye Lin, so the safest way was to change the price.
Just like that, Ji Jinyan and Ye Lin secretly changed the quotation before reporting it to Jianye. The price they both gave was 3,601, and the budget was consistent with Chang Sheng's quotation.
Faced with a bid that was one yuan higher than Changsheng's and a more profitable plan, Jianye naturally chose DY.
As soon as Ji Jinyan and the other three stepped into DY's office area, Yi Qianqian's eyes lit up.
He immediately said, "Boss Ji, what's the result of the bidding? The project must have been completed."
Ji Jinyan looked at Yi Qianqian carefully and said slowly, "Yes, how did you know?"
"What? That's impossible." Yi Qianqian couldn't believe it.
"What's impossible? Is it impossible because you told your opponent the offer?"
Yi Qianqian was panicked. She didn't expect that she would be exposed like this.
"Mr. Ji, what are you talking about? How could I leak the quotation? If you want to suspect someone, you should suspect the person who is most likely to know the quotation." Yi Qianqian said while looking at Ye Lin, and her meaning was self-evident.
"Mr. Ji, was the bidding price leaked? Then you must investigate it thoroughly. There may be some people who rely on nepotism to help leak company secrets." Yi Qianqian tried hard to direct the suspicion to Ye Lin, and also slandered Li Yao who was at the scene.
Li Yao said anxiously: "I didn't, I joined the company on my own, my uncle didn't know about it beforehand."
Ye Lin glanced at Yi Qianqian and thought she was extremely stupid. Could Ji Jinyan be such a fool? Besides, she had no evidence. If Ji Jinyan wanted to investigate, would he really not be able to find out what she had done?
Ye Lin asked, "Yi Qianqian, where did you go yesterday? Who did you meet?"
"I, I didn't go anywhere yesterday."
Ji Jinyan's patience with Yi Qianqian has reached its limit. "Yi Qianqian, do you want me to pull up the surveillance footage of your meeting with Chang Yongqiang's assistant yesterday?"
"Boss Ji, I didn't. I did meet that person, but I might not have agreed. It was Ye Lin who leaked the quote. And then there was Li Yao. Director Li is Li Yao's uncle. She must have gotten in through improper connections. They were both in charge of the project, so they must have colluded to leak the quote."
Yi Qianqian had already panicked and her words were full of loopholes. After hearing this, Gu Li'an was still confused. The person who leaked the quotation was not Ye Lin, but Yi Qianqian.
Gu Li'an said, "Yi Qianqian, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will call the police and ask them to teach you to tell the truth."
Yi Qianqian was scared when she heard that she had to call the police. After all, if the police intervened, she would go to jail in Quanguo.
"Mr. Ji, I was just confused for a moment. I didn't mean to betray DY. I was wrong. I just gave the price and didn't do anything else. Didn't I win the bid? Mr. Ji, can you please forgive me this time? I will never do it again."
Yi Qianqian confessed her actions, and Ji Jinyan fired her and several people close to her. Although those people hadn't done anything wrong, Ji Jinyan always insisted on eradicating the problem at its roots. He defended Li Yao and Ye Lin, claiming that he had known about Li Yao and Li Ming's relationship and that the recruitment process was fair and impartial.
Ye Lin understood in her heart that it seemed that Ji Jinyan knew everything that happened in the company.
Yi Qianqian's phone rang. It was the assistant. Yi Qianqian still held on to the last glimmer of hope. She was trying to help Chang Sheng, but now that she was fired, Chang Sheng couldn't just leave her alone.
Yi Qianqian picked up the phone, "Hello." She didn't have time to speak.
"Yi Qianqian, you're kidding me, aren't you? This is completely different from the offer you gave me. It seems you've colluded with Ji Jinyan and the others. If you're capable, stay in DY for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I won't let you have an easy time in Kyoto."
Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Yi Qianqian knew that she was finished. She was kicked out of DY and offended Chang Sheng. She would definitely not be able to survive in Kyoto in the future.
Ji Jinyan returned to the old house of the Ji family. When he turned the corner, a car passed by Ji Jinyan's car. If Ji Jinyan saw it, he would definitely think that this car was very similar to the car that took Ye Lin away that day.
Ji Jinyan met the old man of the Ji family, "Grandpa, we got the land."
Old Master Ji had gray hair and a dignified look on his face. At the age of sixty, he no longer took care of things. He lay in a rocking chair and slowly opened his eyes.
He said in a steady voice, "Well, take a good look at that piece of land, and you can handle the rest on your own."
"yes."
"I heard you hired a new controller."
Ji Jinyan's eyes turned slightly, and after a while he said, "Yes."
The hall of the old house was very quiet, with only the sound of two people talking.
Ji Jinyan's expression was a little tense, and he unconsciously slowed down his breathing.
Old Master Ji spoke up to break the deadlock, "Okay, make your own decision. Come and see me more often when you have time."
"Okay." Ji Jin's tone slowed down.
