22: You don’t want your family to…

After the complaints paused, let's get back to the main topic.

Su Yue began to ponder how to leave the company and meet with Lan Zijun.

The reason for choosing such a pressing time during the online bidding conference to meet was also out of necessity for Su Yue.

If Yuantu Investment Company won many projects in this Municipal Department online bidding conference...

Then after the online bidding conference ended, President Lan, as the President, would immediately take a plane to another location to coordinate the relevant construction and material preparation work.

She wouldn't stay for too long at all.

In that case, it would be difficult for Su Yue to meet her again!

By then, seven days would have passed, the order to lay off wouldn't have been rescinded, and Su Yue, like the other employees, would have been laid off.

It was even more likely that while President Lan was away on business, Qian Boda might change his plan temporarily and create an accident in the other location to get rid of President Lan.

If that were the case, the information Su Yue held would become worthless, unable to be sold for any price.

Therefore, considering these factors, Su Yue adapted to the situation and made the request to meet with President Lan immediately.

...

Meet right now?

Su Yue's decision truly put President Lan, the company's President, in a dilemma.

On one hand, there was the Municipal Department's online bidding conference; securing over thirty percent of the projects would not only allow them to complete the year's sales target ahead of schedule but also establish connections with official departments, which could be said to be beneficial without harm to the company's future development.

But...

The identity of the mysterious person was President Lan's biggest curiosity!

She had many questions to ask the mysterious person, and at the same time, she wanted to know how the mysterious person knew so many of her private matters, and why the mysterious person... chose her. What kind of secret was contained within this?

If she refused the mysterious person's request to meet because of this online bidding conference, would it anger the mysterious person?

Would the mysterious person, in a fit of pique, refuse to meet with President Lan again, or even cause President Lan a lot of trouble from the shadows?

Good heavens, it was a BBQ.

It was truly like driving pigs in an alley—blocked at both ends.

Going might mean losing the projects from this Municipal Department online bidding conference and subsequent connections with official departments.

Not going might mean angering the mysterious person, never being able to meet them again, and losing the chance to know the mysterious person's true identity.

What should she do?

President Lan fell into an unprecedented dilemma, unable to decide for a moment whether to go now or not.

Anxious sweat flowed down her temples, making President Lan feel very uncomfortable.

A flash of light suddenly crossed President Lan's mind.

Why did the other party choose this moment to send the small note?

And, why send two at once?

Could it be that the other party was actually sent by her competitor?

Was his goal to disrupt her bidding this time?

Could she ignore it?

Did she dare to ignore it?

She wasn't worried about the fact that she often didn't wear clothes at home being spread, but she had to consider what kind of turmoil would be caused if her father's affair was exposed!

Not only would her family be in turmoil, but the image of Lans Group might also be ruined!

Furthermore, she didn't know if the other party, who could obtain such hidden information, had even more explosive content in hand!

President Lan no longer hesitated and immediately made her final decision.

"Lower the profit margin on this quote by another three percent, and then submit it."

After saying this to her personal Secretary Yang Qingmei and handing her the folder in her hand, she picked up the jacket draped over the back of her chair and stood up, preparing to leave.

Qian Boda, and the surrounding employees, all frowned, looking at her with confused expressions.

"You are..."

Qian Boda looked at the jacket in her hand and asked in a tentative tone, "Are you going out?"

"Yes."

Clearly, President Lan didn't want to talk much with Qian Boda; she just nodded slightly, said this coldly, and began to put on her jacket.

Her response caused Qian Boda and the other employees around to lean back in surprise, for a moment thinking their ears were playing tricks on them and they had misheard.

"Are you kidding?"

Qian Boda stood up, his eyes changing from their original '-' shape to an 'O' shape.

"The Municipal Department's online bidding conference is currently being held. Is this something you can just leave like this?"

Although Qian Boda was an unreliable, annoying rich second-generation playboy...

The two sentences he just said were quite correct.

This was an online bidding conference led by the government, after all!

Leaving aside how many projects they could win for now...

If the main person in charge just left like this, the official departments might be greatly angered, and it was highly likely they would no longer cooperate with Yuantu Investment Company in the future.

But to everyone's astonishment, President Lan seemed not to care about any of this. While Qian Boda was voicing his objection to her, she continued to put on her jacket unconcernedly.

"No, you're crazy, Lan Zijun."

Qian Boda spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and lowered his voice slightly, afraid of being overheard by the municipal personnel who were online.

"If you leave now, what about the subsequent bids?"

"Are you just going to ignore them?"

Having made up her mind to leave and meet the mysterious person, President Lan just said indifferently:

"For the subsequent bids, just remember to lower every profit margin by three percent."

After saying these words that chilled people to the bone, President Lan walked away without looking back.

Leaving Qian Boda and his group in disarray, looking at each other, unable to react for a moment.

"She... she just left like that?"

"No way, President Lan left like that, the subsequent bidding is in jeopardy!"

"What could be so urgent that she would leave at such a critical moment?"

"Could it be that President Lan encountered something even more important than the online bidding conference?"

"What could that be?"

The employees discussed in low voices, their curiosity exploding to the limit, but no one could guess what it was that made Lan Zijun just walk away like that.

At the same time.

Su Yue, sitting at the back of the conference room, saw President Lan leave wearing her jacket and secretly praised President Lan's courage, truly being able to abandon this official bidding conference.

Immediately, Su Yue also stood up from his seat. After confirming that everyone was busy and hadn't noticed him, he calmly and composedly left the conference room.

At this moment, the entire office building was bustling, colleagues had a lot of work to do, and no one noticed Su Yue.

Just like that, without attracting anyone's attention, Su Yue quietly and unimpeded walked out of the company office building.
