393: Secretly
Seeing that Wang Chi was so clueless, Su Yue had no choice but to take charge himself.
He walked up to Wang Chi and said, "Please come with me. We'll go to the bidding office and bring back this quotation."
When Wang Chi heard that Su Yue wanted to retrieve the quotation, he immediately understood.
In an instant, he pulled out his phone, seemingly wanting to ask the driver to prepare a car for them.
Before he could even make the call, Su Yue immediately placed his hand over the phone's earpiece and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Chi looked surprised and said, "I was planning... to ask the driver to prepare a car for us."
Su Yue looked at Wang Chi, who wanted to contact the driver himself, and was speechless. "If you contact the driver, then why would I deliver the quotation?"
The driver and the Secretary were in cahoots from the start. If the driver knew their route, how could Helan Real Estate fall for it?
When Wang Chi heard Su Yue's explanation, he finally reacted and slapped his forehead. "Right, look, I forgot."
Although Su Yue had flown in, Liu Long happened to be here, so he could easily borrow Liu Long's car.
Furthermore, Liu Long was originally from Yuantu Investment, so Su Yue borrowing Liu Long's car would not attract attention from others.
Su Yue called Liu Long and asked him to come to Lv Chi Real Estate as quickly as possible.
Although Liu Long didn't understand exactly what Su Yue meant, he knew Su Yue definitely had a plan.
To make up for the mistake he had just made, Liu Long drove his car to the entrance of Lv Chi Real Estate in the shortest time possible.
Su Yue deliberately greeted the security guards at the entrance, saying, "I'm taking your Boss out to eat something. Keep a good watch, okay?"
The security guards' position in the company was not high to begin with. When they saw Su Yue greeting them, they immediately took note.
Su Yue led Wang Chi to the back seat of Liu Long's car and patted his shoulder, saying, "Get to the bidding point as quickly as possible."
Seeing their serious expressions, how could Liu Long not know something had happened?
In just a few minutes, Liu Long drove them to the bidding destination.
Wang Chi was quite familiar with the place and found the people in the office.
When they saw Wang Chi arrive, they looked surprised. "Didn't you just submit the bid documents? Why are you preparing to submit another one?"
Wang Chi listened to their teasing and shook his head repeatedly. "My subordinate was careless. That document had a small problem, I need to revise it."
The staff members learned that Wang Chi intended to take back the quotation and subconsciously handed over the document that was within reach.
The Secretary had just arrived, and the staff hadn't had time to retrieve the quotation yet.
If they had already placed the quotation in the file archives, it was likely the staff would not have agreed to their request.
As Wang Chi held the document in his hand, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Let's eat together sometime."
The staff members heard Wang Chi planning to invite them to dinner and waved their hands repeatedly. "Wait until you successfully win the bid, I'll treat you then."
In such a sensitive time, even if he were given more courage, he likely wouldn't dare to mess around.
Soon, Wang Chi returned to Su Yue's car with the quotation. "Fortunately, he hadn't entered it into the computer yet."
Su Yue saw that the quotation had been retrieved, checked the time on his watch, and said, "Let's wait here for a while."
Lv Chi Real Estate and Helan Real Estate were originally sworn rivals. Now that Lv Chi Real Estate had submitted a quotation, they surely had the latest one.
Just half an hour later, Wang Chi patted Su Yue's shoulder hard. "You were right! Look, it's him."
Su Yue followed his finger and looked ahead, seeing that Helan Real Estate had already arranged for staff to come.
Judging from the time that person entered, he was likely going to submit the quotation.
Since they had already submitted the quotation inside, Su Yue couldn't help but ask Wang Chi, "Is there any profit in that price?"
Wang Chi's head shook like a rattle drum. "There's not even a sliver of hope for profit, it's definitely a loss."
Leaving aside whether the project would be delayed, even if the construction finished on schedule, they would likely still lose money.
Suddenly, Wang Chi seemed to think of something and looked at Su Yue. "General Manager Su, how were you so sure they would definitely submit a quotation?"
He originally thought that with such a price that couldn't make money, Helan Real Estate couldn't possibly fail to see it.
Su Yue saw Wang Chi's gaze on him and his eyes flashed with cold light. "It's simple, they have backing."
At this point, Helan Real Estate wasn't taking on the project; they were simply being forced forward by someone else.
Huasheng Group's people had already moved into their company. If they didn't agree, Huasheng Group might deal with them.
Wang Chi listened to Su Yue's analysis and slapped his forehead. "You big companies just know how to use us as pawns."
For some reason, Wang Chi also felt a chill in his heart.
If he had followed Huasheng Group from the start, he believed he would be the one being forced to bid now.
Clearly seeing that their price wouldn't make money, yet having to bite the bullet and bid, it was simply torment.
Since Helan Real Estate had already submitted the bid documents inside, they didn't need to stay outside and watch.
Su Yue checked the time and chuckled. "General Manager Liu, I wonder if Muxin Hotel serves dinner?"
When Liu Long heard Su Yue mention his name, he nodded repeatedly. "Of course there is. If you go, I'll arrange it right away."
The people at Muxin Hotel had been fired. He believed Su Yue wouldn't see anyone he disliked this time.
Wang Chi saw that Su Yue hadn't mentioned anything about the project for a long time and couldn't help but ask Su Yue, "This project..."
Su Yue understood that Lv Chi Real Estate desperately needed this project and smiled. "Put your heart at ease."
In his eyes, Huasheng Group burning bridges was not a new thing.
Now that Helan Real Estate had taken on such a mess, he believed they would likely discard this pawn nine times out of ten.
It was just that they were not convenient to go to Helan Real Estate now, after all, Su Yue was the culprit behind the whole matter.
In just over ten minutes, Liu Long brought the two of them to Muxin Hotel.
The greeters at the entrance had been replaced, and the service staff from the daytime were gone.
The biggest change was that the Boss here had been replaced by the former Manager.
Liu Long saw that Su Yue was very satisfied with the changes here and smiled. "As long as you're satisfied, I'm happy."
As long as Su Yue had no complaints about him, he didn't need to worry about anything.
At the same time, a waiter pushed a small cart in from the entrance and placed many snacks on the table.
Su Yue looked at the items on the table and quickly reminded him, "There are only three of us, don't be extravagant."
In his eyes, extravagance and waste were definitely shameful.
Liu Long understood that Su Yue was worried about Yuantu Investment causing trouble and waved his hand repeatedly. "This isn't extravagance, we're trying out dishes."
Su Yue saw that Liu Long had found the best reason for him and burst into laughter. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's try the dishes."
Just then, Wang Chi walked up to Su Yue with a glass of wine. "General Manager Su, I want to say something that might be a bit of a downer, I hope..."
Before he could finish, Su Yue pressed down on the wine glass in his hand. "Don't drink. You'll have the answer to your question later."
When Wang Chi heard that Su Yue had already calculated all the subsequent plans, he looked utterly confused. "Oh?"
Strategizing within the command tent and winning a victory a thousand miles away perfectly described Su Yue.
As soon as the words fell, the phone in Wang Chi's pocket rang.
He looked at the number on the screen and his face filled with shock. "Liu He called me."
Liu He was the Boss of Helan Real Estate. It must be something important for him to call his competitor.
Su Yue and Liu Long exchanged glances, deliberately sitting together, unwilling to listen to the content of his call.
In just two minutes, Wang Chi placed his phone on the table. "General Manager Su, you're simply amazing! How did you know?"
Su Yue saw that Wang Chi hadn't revealed the content of the call and chuckled. "Is he planning to find you for cooperation?"
If he couldn't make money himself, he could only find a way to combine the projects.
Wang Chi nodded. "He asked to meet me at the company in half an hour."
Before Su Yue could remind him, Wang Chi continued, "I hope General Manager Su can do me the honor, let's meet him together."
The entire plan was devised by Su Yue alone. Without his involvement, who knew if it would be messed up?
Su Yue saw that Wang Chi intended to ask him to go and agreed. "Of course, it's just about the time for a meal."
He had already calculated the time in his mind and felt that Liu He should be calling soon.
The staff at the bidding office weren't fools. Seeing that this quotation already showed signs of losing money, they naturally approved it.
If Wang Chi had submitted a lower quotation, then there would have been a problem with their process.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Su Yue patted Liu Long's shoulder. "Muxin Hotel needs you to put in more effort, I won't stay here."
Control of Muxin Hotel had already been handed over to Liu Long, and Su Yue didn't want to meddle in unnecessary affairs.
In just over ten minutes, Su Yue and Wang Chi took a car back to the company.
At this moment, the Secretary was already standing at the entrance.
When the Secretary saw Su Yue and Wang Chi returning, she immediately walked towards them. "President Wang, why did you go out?"
If it were before, Wang Chi might have explained it to her softly.
But now that he knew the Secretary's character, his face was cold. "Do I need to report to you when I go out?"
The Secretary shook her head repeatedly. "Boss, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Su Yue saw that the Secretary was subtly trying to probe for information, clearly having been instructed by someone behind her.
Su Yue walked up to the Secretary and chuckled. "I wonder how much money they deducted from you? A double agent, are you?"
When the Secretary heard Su Yue expose her identity, she froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Su Yue had already seen through the Secretary's thoughts and patted her shoulder. "If you don't want others to know, don't do it."
Then, the two of them walked towards the office.
At this moment, Liu He had been led to the reception room, his face serious.
He had just received the notice that they had won the bid, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
According to his meticulous plan, the project would lose money even if there were no delays.
No company could undertake this project at such a price, so he intended to ask Wang Chi what he meant.
Just then, Wang Chi's familiar figure passed by the door, and Liu He immediately walked out of the reception room.
"President Wang, your bidding this time was really bold. Aren't you afraid of winning the bid directly?"
Wang Chi saw Liu He walk up to him and said mockingly, "What bidding? I didn't bid."
In his eyes, his bid document had just been submitted and was immediately taken back by himself.
Strictly speaking, their bid was not even entered into the computer.
If that quotation had been entered into the computer, it was highly likely they would have been the winning bidder.
Liu He heard that Wang Chi had no subsequent quotation and looked shocked. "Impossible! Isn't this quotation yours?"
Su Yue casually took the quotation from his hand and laughed heartily. "I knew there was something fishy inside your company!"
When Wang Chi heard Su Yue say this, he tilted his head and looked at the quotation, taking a deep breath. "It's exactly the same."
He originally thought that only Liu He had a master strategist below him, but no one expected that there was simply a mole beside him.
Before Wang Chi could confess, Su Yue couldn't help but say to Liu He, "I wonder if you've ever watched movies?"
Liu He looked puzzled, completely unaware of what movies had to do with this matter.
Su Yue looked at Liu He with a smile. "Mission: Impossible."
When Liu He heard the movie title, he slammed his hand on the table. "You... you knew about the driver and the Secretary all along?"
Su Yue nodded slightly. "Otherwise, how would I know they gave you the quotation? We didn't bid."
Now, whatever the driver and the Secretary said was useless, after all, they were the ones who leaked the information.
It wasn't until now that Liu He realized he had been set up.
Suddenly, Su Yue seemed to think of something and slapped his forehead. "Oh, right, if I remember correctly, you have backing, don't you?"
With just one sentence, Liu He's eyes widened.
The fact that Helan Real Estate had backing had never been mentioned outside. He believed that outsiders couldn't possibly know about this.
Su Yue didn't wait for his response and shrugged indifferently. "I know them. They're best at burning bridges."
Now, since that person hadn't appeared here, Su Yue could basically conclude that person had already left.
If that person hadn't left, Liu He would never have come to him so humbly.
After Su Yue's predictions, Liu He already believed that Su Yue was truly capable and that finding him was the right move.
He walked up to Su Yue, took a deep breath, and said, "Teach me what to do, I'm willing to follow you."
