Wang Ying realized that An Jing was trying to get information out of her, fearing that Lin Wei would reveal her original plan and end up benefiting someone else.
But what is the reality?
It's alright to say it.
"I plan to buy it to grow vegetables."
As soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Anjing thought she had misheard. "I know this might be inconvenient to reveal, but Weiwei, you don't need to hide it from me."
“I didn’t frame you. I didn’t win this project, so why would I frame you? Besides, this land is so remote that even if I won it, I wouldn’t be able to do anything with it. So my original plan was to use it to grow vegetables.”
Hamburger restaurants want to open branches, and buffet restaurants want to open branches too. It's fine to buy meat from others, but wouldn't it be more cost-effective to produce and sell your own meat?
Everyone understands the principle that the wool comes from the sheep.
After listening quietly, her face turned deathly pale.
What's worse, with each word Lin Wei spoke, An Jing's face grew even paler.
"That place is too remote, there's not much you can do there. Although it's supposed to be developed, every development takes time. After the development is planned, it also takes time to build up popularity. So, the idea of doing something there to make money is not wrong, but it might take a long time."
"It will take at least 5 or 6 years, and at most 7 or 8 years."
But eight years later, not to mention that area, the entire city of Jiangcheng has already developed, so why worry about that area?
But for small companies like theirs, once they buy a piece of land, it's really difficult to get the money out of the market for something else.
Moreover, this land was proposed by An Jing.
From the beginning, she had ill intentions.
"you……."
Lin Wei interrupted the other person, "Congratulations."
After saying that, Lin Wei took Wang Ying and left the bidding venue.
After they went outside, Wang Ying said with a smile, "You're really good at talking. Look how you intimidated those people around you; they were all stunned."
“I wasn’t bluffing them. I really intend to buy it to grow vegetables. Otherwise, what else can I do with such a large piece of land? If this land is really important, I wouldn’t have let you be the only one in charge of the entire bidding process. It’s fine if you win the bid, and I can start implementing it immediately. But it’s also fine if you don’t win the bid, since we have resources on hand and can continue to use them.”
So from the very beginning, it was something that could be done or not done.
But others followed suit and took it seriously.
"My God, I thought you valued this project a lot and that you didn't want me to tell anyone because you wanted to keep it a secret. Turns out, it's just that you didn't care at all. How lucky those who didn't win the bid for this land must be right now."
The more fortunate those people were, the more terrified the silence became.
But she was still trying to comfort herself, "Weiwei just hates that I took her project, so she deliberately framed me. Although this land is far away, it's huge and cheap. There's nothing we can't do here. Jiangcheng is developing so rapidly, it won't be long before it's developed."
The project manager went to handle the follow-up matters. Seeing that Lin Wei and the others were no longer there, he hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did you find out what she's up to?"
"No, how could she tell the truth? She tricked me into thinking I was going to buy it to grow vegetables. Isn't that a joke? But since she's going to bid on it, it must be a good piece of land. Let's go back and plan it out ourselves."
The project manager had no suspicions whatsoever, and the two happily returned to the small company they had just rented.
But it wasn't long before problems emerged.
"This area is too remote. There are indeed plans for the surrounding area, but demolition hasn't even started yet. When will this area be able to develop?"
"This question is invalid. We already asked this when we were bidding for the land. We should have our own plans."
“Of course we have plans, but the plans are for building houses and apartment complexes. But that’s our plan. Can’t there be a better plan?” After saying that, the man looked at Anjing. “Anjing, why don’t you go and find out more? Actually, I told you not to go on the day of the bidding. If you go, they will know that this matter is related to you, and they definitely won’t tell you the truth.”
"They're not stupid. They can tell there's something wrong with that price at a glance, and they can tell it's me after a quick analysis. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
After considering for a moment, the project manager said, "How about this, you go and find out more. If you can't find out, we'll proceed according to our original plan. If you can find out, we'll take your opinions into account, analyze them, and then make a decision."
Gritting her teeth, she quietly agreed.
"OK."
Prepared mentally, Anjing went to the school that afternoon.
But she forgot that school had already been out for summer vacation in July.
Turning around, she went to the construction company and unexpectedly saw Zhang Yanyan, who was interning there.
Honestly, seeing this scene, it's impossible not to feel a pang of sadness.
In the four-person dormitory, Lin Wei has developed the best, and the two people she mentored have also done well, except for herself.
Does Lin Wei really hate herself that much?
Hearing this question, Lin Wei was also puzzled. "I never disliked you. In fact, during our school years, I should have treated you all the same, right?"
"But after graduation you only helped those two. Yingying is clearly inferior to me in every way, do you hate me that much?" Anjing expressed her resentment.
"No, Anjing, I never disliked you. I initially helped Yingying because she couldn't find a job, and I happened to have started a company that needed people to do trivial things. At that time, Yingying was even planning to switch to administration, and that's how I gradually helped the company get back on track."
“Then Zhang Yanyan…”
Lin Wei shook her head. "She's here for an internship, but with her master's degree, if she were to actually work here, she could definitely become a manager. After all, you know how capable she is."
"Quiet, I didn't know you were dwelling on this. It's all just a coincidence. If you hadn't found a job back then, you would definitely have come to work at the company with Yingying."
Even if they keep in touch later and Lin Wei learns that An Jing is not doing well at her workplace, she would welcome her to come to Boyuan if she wanted to.
"And now?"
Lin Wei immediately refused, "Quiet, do you really think it's possible? You're not stupid, and neither am I. I know what you came here to ask today, but I didn't lie last time. I did buy that piece of land to grow vegetables. You should also know that I run a burger shop and a buffet restaurant, which require a lot of vegetables. If the location is too far away, the vegetables won't be fresh. That's why I had the idea of starting my own business."
An Jing looked completely incredulous. "And then, by sheer coincidence, I bumped into it."
"Don't you work at the planning bureau? What are you doing out here?"
Anjing didn't answer her question. She picked up her bag, slammed the office door shut, and left.
As soon as An Jing left, Zhang Yanyan immediately came in to gossip, "What happened? Did you part on bad terms?"
"I told her I used it to grow vegetables, but she just wouldn't believe me. What could I do?"
