"If you ask me, since Mr. Liu has this kind of relationship with Mr. Zhou, he should avoid suspicion and withdraw from the bidding project."
"Yes! Let Mr. Liu withdraw from the evaluation team!"
"Quit! Quit! We want fairness!"
Under Qian Li's instigation, several suppliers participating in the bidding responded and asked Liu Yuzhou to withdraw from the bidding project.
Someone with a quicker mind reminded, "What's the point of just Mr. Liu withdrawing? Even if he's gone, the relationship still exists, and it's still unfair to us!"
When Qian Li heard this, he was immediately happy.
Originally, he just wanted to get rid of Liu Yuzhou, a potential threat, but he didn't expect that everyone wanted to kick out Zhengpeng Building Materials as well. That's great!
Killing two birds with one stone, just what he wanted!
"It's useless for us to just protest here. Why don't we report the situation to the relevant authorities now, before the bidding results are announced?"
Everyone was already in a state of turmoil, and Qian Li's instigation was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
With a loud "whoosh", the fire became even more intense.
All the suppliers stood up and prepared to find the competent authorities.
This situation is far beyond Zhou Zhengyang's control.
He tried his best to dissuade everyone: "Calm down, don't be led by others, at least wait until the bidding results come out."
“If I win the bid, everyone can ask the evaluation team to disclose the evaluation criteria to see whether my company is worthy of the reputation.”
"On the contrary, if I don't win the bid, everything you did today will seriously damage Mr. Liu and my reputation, and it's unfair to us!"
But people tend to believe what they want to believe.
Everyone had already formed a preconceived notion that the bidding was pre-determined, so even though Zhou Zhengyang's analysis made sense, no one wanted to listen.
Anyway, it's just unfair!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's a vested interest, so of course he can say this calmly. Even if he doesn't win the bid for this project, what about the next one? Who knows what he's up to with Mr. Liu?!"
After saying this, Qian Li took the two suppliers out of the meeting room and went straight to the office of the competent authority.
The bids were opened today, and the government authorities also sent supervisory personnel to ensure the fairness of the bidding process.
In addition, the information of the winning company will also be made public.
Seeing Qian Li and his companions leaving, the suppliers behind them also followed after them with their own company personnel.
Soon, the office of the competent authority was blocked by everyone.
Qian Li stood aside and encouraged another supplier to take the lead.
The man was clueless. He immediately shouted, self-righteously, "Manager Zhou! We're reporting this. This bidding is unfair!"
Supervisor Zhou was originally sent here by his superiors to go through the motions, just like having a notary public present at the lottery draw.
I didn't expect that something would happen today.
He straightened his uniform and said majestically:
"Report what? Tell me slowly."
The leader said, "We're going to report the construction company's deputy general manager, Liu Yuzhou, and Zhengpeng Building Materials' owner, Zhou Zhengyang, for being childhood friends. Their close personal relationship is sure to undermine the fairness of the bidding project!"
The supplier following closely behind also echoed: "That's right! That childhood friend is a close friend. Vice President Liu will definitely leak inside information to Zhou Zhengyang. Then it will certainly be easier for Zhengpeng Building Materials to win the bid than for us!"
"That's not fair at all! Not fair!"
After listening to the accusation, Manager Zhou glanced at Zhou Zhengyang standing beside him and saw that he had a calm expression without any sign of panic. Then he looked at the group of suppliers with angry expressions and had already made up his mind.
