Mr. Wang, the owner of Sanshu Company, also came over.
"Young Master Liang, we have a new guest today," the manager said first.
Before Boss Wang could speak, Liang Zixin interjected, "I know him, it's Young Master Lin, he's very famous and very capable."
"Boss Wang, you've finally become the mother-in-law after all these years of waiting, and today you can finally compete with me on the same stage."
Mr. Wang was taken aback by his directness and stood there speechless for a moment.
“Yes,” Lin Zhibai walked over, a half-smile on his face, “I am very optimistic about the prospects of Mr. Wang’s company, so I invested 1 billion yuan in one go to prepare for this project.”
Gu Fanyan cursed inwardly, "Crazy."
This project wouldn't cost more than 300 million yuan to complete, yet he's throwing in so much money at once, completely violating the principles of doing business.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the bidding party's expression changed.
Young Master Lin came on strong, instantly elevating Sanshu Company into a large corporation.
"Director, shall we begin the meeting now?" The subordinate approached the person in charge.
The person in charge smiled and waved his hand: "We won't go through the motions today. Young Master Lin, Young Master Liang, Miss Gu, please come to the VIP room."
His meaning was clear: in the VIP room, let's lay it all out; whoever has the most favorable terms, he'll let them win the bid.
Without saying a word, Lin Zhibai led Boss Wang from Sanshu forward.
Liang Zixin and Gu Fanyan followed immediately.
The remaining small business owners were discussing amongst themselves.
"Young Master Lin is really going after Young Master Liang!"
"Young Master Lin is no ordinary person; Young Master Liang has finally met his match this time."
"What's the relationship between Young Master Lin and the owner of Sanshu? He's never done business here before, so why is he picking a fight with Young Master Liang right away?"
There are many different opinions, and no conclusion has been reached.
Who would have thought that Lin Zhibai would go to such lengths for a woman?
"Zixin, let's avoid their sharp edge. I suggest we give up this bid," Gu Fanyan said softly before entering the VIP room.
"So you let him succeed so easily?" Liang Zixin raised an eyebrow, clearly indignant.
"So what if he succeeds?" Gu Fanyan said dismissively. "We're in business; we don't do things where the returns are less than the investment."
Liang Zixin remained silent.
The two entered the VIP room and sat down on the right side of the conference table, facing Lin Zhibai and the others across the table.
Lin Zhibai's gaze was fixed on Gu Fanyan, his coldness tinged with a hint of madness.
Gu Fanyan turned her gaze away and ignored him.
"Young Master Lin, Young Master Liang, Miss Gu, President Wang," the person in charge was still quite polite, not wanting to offend anyone. "I am honored that our company's project has been favored by you."
"Since both of you are interested, I think we can skip the traditional bidding process and just have an open bidding process."
Liang Zixin handed over the tender documents directly, saying, "Mr. Wang, this is my price."
When Mr. Wang opened it, he was quite surprised.
As expected of a big company, their ability to integrate resources is first-class. With Gu Fanyan's cooperation, they were able to get a top-tier celebrity to endorse them at this price!
Mr. Wang looked at Lin Zhibai with difficulty and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lin, this price cannot be lowered any further."
Lin Zhibai kept his eyes fixed on Gu Fanyan, without even glancing at the price, and simply said, "No matter what price Young Master Liang offers, we'll cut it in half."
Upon hearing this, President Wang was stunned.
Cut it in half?
Is this something that can be done?
Lin Zhibai said, "I'll make up the difference if it's not enough."
He was prepared to use money to pave the way in order to snatch Liang Zixin away.
Liang Zixin's face darkened with annoyance, and he was about to speak when Gu Fanyan grabbed his arm and gently shook her head at him.
She was worried about him.
Discourage his impulsive behavior.
Lin Zhibai, seeing this, became even more enraged and sneered coldly, "What, Young Master Liang, are you chickening out?"
Liang Zixin suddenly stood up.
Gu Fanyan also stood up. "Zixin, calm down and come with me."
She grabbed his arm and turned to the person in charge, saying, "It doesn't matter who does your project, but you need to understand that your project is in this country, and there are some things that money can't buy."
"I hereby announce that Liang Zixin's company is withdrawing from this bidding process. Our cooperation with your company ends here."
The more observant she was of the person in charge, the more obvious her intention to protect Liang Zixin became.
After saying that, she pulled Liang Zixin away from the conference room.
The person in charge was dumbfounded and hurriedly looked at Lin Zhibai and President Wang.
Lin Zhibai's eyes churned with turmoil, his expression growing colder: "It's alright, just keep pushing the project forward, I'll take responsibility for any problems that arise."
Gu Fanyan drove Liang Zixin to the company and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his anger had subsided.
"That's right, Lin Zhibai wants to provoke you and make you do something irrational."
Although Liang Zixin had calmed down, she was still very angry. "He's forcing me to submit to him! He wants me to hand you over!"
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes.
She understood that once Lin Zhibai went mad, it would be very difficult to stop him.
She just didn't expect that even now, he would still be so impulsive.
At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Liang Zixin's secretary hurriedly backed in, "President Liang, Young Master Liang..."
Mr. Liang strode in with a sullen face. When he caught sight of Gu Fanyan, he forced back the anger that had been rising within him.
Liang Zixin dismissed her secretary before saying, "Dad, you don't need to worry about my company's affairs."
Mr. Liang was indeed there for the bidding. He handed his phone to Liang Zixin: "It was sent to me by the editor-in-chief of the country's largest media outlet."
Upon seeing this, Liang Zixin's anger, which had finally subsided, flared up again.
Gu Fanyan took a look and saw that it was a highly provocative text message.
The gist is that this failed bid may be hiding a major financial crisis for the Liang family.
"Do you know what will happen to Liang's stock price after this newsletter is released?" Mr. Liang frowned. "The editor-in-chief is under a lot of pressure. If this matter isn't resolved by midnight tonight, he'll be fired if he doesn't release this newsletter!"
"But the newly appointed editor-in-chief will also publish it!"
Needless to say, this must be Lin Zhibai's doing.
“I’m going to find him!” Liang Zixin suddenly stood up.
“Don’t go,” Gu Fanyan called out to him. “He’s coming for me. I’ll handle this.”
She left without looking back.
Liang Zixin was worried and wanted to chase after him, but his father called out to him, "Stop!"
"Zixin, we shouldn't have gotten involved in the feud between Young Master Lin and Miss Gu in the first place."
"But……"
“Unless Miss Gu really marries you,” Liang’s father interrupted him, “what right do you have to stand up for her?”
Upon hearing this, Liang Zixin was discouraged.
After a moment, he said, "The Liang family cannot allow Lin Zhibai to cause such trouble."
“Of course,” Mr. Liang answered without hesitation. “Perhaps in Lin Zhibai’s hometown, no one dares to mess with him, but this is our Liang family’s territory. If we tolerate his insolence, wouldn’t that tell others that they can do the same thing so easily?”
A hint of worry appeared in Liang Zixin's eyes.
