Ye Yiming’s appearance was not outstanding and his cultivation was well concealed.
If Xia Liu hadn’t observed carefully, he really wouldn’t have been able to tell that this guy was a martial artist.
Ye Yiming’s appearance didn’t surprise too many people; this was his first time representing Ye Group in front of the public.
Instead, there were two young men who were rather high-profile. Find your next read on novelbuddy
As soon as they entered, they received cheers.
"Look, that’s the young master from East Enterprise: Xu Mingliang!"
"And that one, the president of Lingyun Technology: Cheng Fei!"
"Haha, this bidding is going to be interesting. Both East Enterprise and Lingyun Technology are among the top three groups in the neighboring city and can even be ranked in the top 100 nationwide."
"Don’t forget, we also have Wanqing Group and Ye Group from our own city."
"I really came to the right place this time. I wonder how these giants will compete for this spot."
Before the competition started, the crowd sitting below began to discuss fervently.
"Young Master Xu, I didn’t expect to see you here."
"Young Master Cheng, to think that you’d be interested in such a small project."
Xu Mingliang and Cheng Fei sat side by side, glancing at each other and starting to jest.
"A project that’s guaranteed to profit and will be renowned for a hundred years is something Lingyun Technology must strive for," Cheng Fei said confidently.
"Coincidentally, I also intend to use this project to showcase the strength and reputation of East Enterprise." Faced with a competitor from the same city, Xu Mingliang was not willing to give an inch.
"Ah, why are you everywhere..."
"Without me, you’d be lonely, wouldn’t you? There might be many people here, but they’re all broke. In the end, it’s just us two who have the capability to compete."
As Cheng Fei let out a sigh, Xu Mingliang started to look smug.
"Keep it down, you two idiots." Suddenly, Ye Yiming, who was sitting in front of them, spoke up.
"What did you say!" Xu Mingliang, known for his hot temper, roared in anger.
"I said, you keep it down!"
Right after that, Ye Yiming turned and stared directly at Xu Mingliang, which made the latter’s heart jump, and his angry face gradually stiffened.
With Ye Yiming’s voice, the entire venue fell silent.
But inside, they were all greatly excited. One was the local tyrant, the other was a fierce competitor from across the river – but who would be the winner in the end?
"Young people nowadays..."
Watching what was happening in front, Mo Wanqing couldn’t help shaking her head.
"Heh, just impetuous. In a few more years, they’ll naturally grow up." Xia Liu had a deep understanding; after all, he had helped many wayward youths find their way back to the right path.
Just as Mo Wanqing was about to say more, Li Zhong and several people of similar age came out from backstage.
The audience all recognized Li Zhong, the mayor of Hejing, but the identities of the others were unclear.
But one thing was certain, they had the ability to decide on the candidate for the project!
"Hey, isn’t that Feng Mingkun?" Seeing the person who ascended the stage with Li Zhong, people from the neighboring city were all surprised.
Feng Mingkun, an important figure from the neighboring city, was said to have close ties with East Enterprise.
If Feng Mingkun had significant influence over the decision in this bidding event, then it was certain that East Enterprise would win the bid!
"Young Master Xu, you’re damn cheating!" Cheng Fei’s expression turned sour upon seeing Feng Mingkun.
"How could this be called cheating? My Uncle Feng just happens to be the host of this bidding event." Xu Mingliang smiled triumphantly.
However, he still felt a bit of unease in his heart, and as he focused on Ye Yiming ahead of him, he thought to himself, "So you have a sharp eye, huh? Wait till I win the bid, and I’ll give you an even sharper look!"
After Li Zhong and a few others came up, Li Zhong, the representative of Hejing, began to speak, announcing the start of the bidding conference.
Then Li Zhong asked the representatives of the companies eligible to bid to come up to the stage.
Ten people, two rows of seats, sitting opposite each other.
Li Zhong asked the representatives to state their planning objectives one after another.
Then the jury would review them, and finally, the votes would be cast for the results.
"The first time I came to Hejing was half a year ago. I was captivated by this place at that time. Now that I have the opportunity, I’m willing to dedicate all my resources to develop Hejing!"
This was Xu Mingliang’s declaration.
The people from the neighboring city scoffed at Xu Mingliang’s exaggerated words as soon as they heard them.
This guy was well-known in the city for being arrogant, indulgent, and for causing trouble for many female students in school.
If someone like him were to get the development project, it would surely be a disaster for Hejing.
"Haha, Xu Mingliang of East Enterprise, very good, he’s very responsible, and the company has a strong foundation. I’m willing to give him my vote," announced Feng Mingkun loudly after listening to everyone’s declarations.
"Director Feng, I think the Osmanthus Group is quite good. The head of this group is a local from Hejing and also owns two iconic hotels," Li Zhong immediately tried to garner goodwill for Xia Liu as he heard Feng Mingkun praising Xu Mingliang.
"County Chief Li, you’re not right to say that. The information is right here, the Osmanthus Group was just established a few days ago. Isn’t this obviously just to make money?" Feng Mingkun looked indifferently at Li Zhong.
"Right! Director Feng is correct! A group that was just established a few days ago definitely got the news in advance and then set up the company for this bid. This is definitely fraud, we should call the police!" Xu Mingliang, who had already obtained the information on Osmanthus Group, with Feng Mingkun’s explanation as a preface, naturally took the opportunity to undercut them.
"Osmanthus Group committing fraud? I must ask, Young Master Xu, what’s wrong with a local person investing their money into registering a group to gain bidding qualifications and planning to bring benefits to Hejing in the future?" Mo Wanqing immediately stood up to defend Xia Liu upon hearing Xu Mingliang’s insinuation.
"That’s the head of Wanqing Group. I didn’t expect her to speak up for a newly established group."
"I’ve heard that the head of this new group has a good relationship with Mo Wanqing, so it’s natural for her to help."
People from Binlai City who had come down were murmuring to one another.
"Bring benefits? Even if he truly has the intention, does he have the capital? To speak bluntly, he doesn’t even have the money. If we give the project to him, how much of the subsidy is he going to pocket?"
"Hmm, Xu Mingliang has a point. A newly established group couldn’t possibly have much money."
"Osmanthus Group was created by a local person; they must be acquainted with someone and have received the news in order to act so swiftly."
As the others who ascended the stage with Li Zhong discussed, they all turned to look at him simultaneously.
"Gentlemen, it’s not nice for you to say this," Li Zhong felt somewhat annoyed as these people were all from the neighboring city.
And they all sided with Xu Mingliang, which was clearly targeted.
"There’s nothing wrong with it. I have the feeling that someone here might have private ties with the Osmanthus Group."
