"Has the bidding already concluded?" Xia Yong was shocked.
Although he was never eligible to participate each year, he paid close attention.
Wasn’t it at least five or six hours every year?
But now... it had only been half an hour, right?
Just as Xia Yong was astonished, Su Haikang, Yin Xiuxiu, Old Sir Su, Chi Changjing, and Zhao Yuexiu came out.
All five of them were smiling, their faces full of triumph and satisfaction.
Seeing Xia Yong and his wife standing dumbfounded in the hall, Old Sir Su frowned slightly and pretended not to notice.
But Su Haikang walked over.
He and Xia Ling had been husband and wife for eight years, and Xia Yong had also helped him a lot during his difficult times.
As Yin Xiuxiu was lowering her head talking to Old Sir Su, she saw Su Haikang walking towards the couple, frowned slightly, said nothing, and followed along.
Meanwhile, Xia Yong and his wife also noticed the group from the Su and Chi Family.
Xia Yong’s expression instantly darkened, and he turned to leave.
However, Su Haikang called out to him, advising, "The bidding this year is a bit special, don’t waste your time and money, save it for next year."
Xia Yong paused in his tracks, turned his head to look at Su Haikang, "What happened?"
"Because Mr. Shen has already chosen our pany and will contact us later." Yin Xiuxiu gracefully walked over, her smile elegant and posed, "So you might as well not waste your efforts."
Xia Yong had no fond feelings for the woman who had ruined his sister’s marriage, and upon hearing this, he scoffed coldly, "Do you think I would believe that? So far, Mr. Shen has only chosen a collaborator directly once before."
And that time, it was entirely because the tender submitted by that pany was exceptionally outstanding and dazzling.
When the project was pleted and Mr. Shen announced the tender, all voices of doubt and opposition pletely vanished.
Even now, no one would question Mr. Shen’s judgment.
After all, the Xia and Su families had had eight years of relations; Xia Yong knew well what level the Su family operated at.
Hearing Xia Yong say this, Su Haikang smiled, "Xiuxiu isn’t lying. My father specifically had Mr. Shen’s girlfriend, Lady Hai, e from Hai Dou to have full control over the tender; nothing could have gone wrong."
Xia Yong’s face immediately looked unpleasant.
Su Haikang had no reason to lie about this, and he had indeed vaguely heard rumors about Mr. Shen’s girlfriend in Hai Dou before.
But... if Mr. Shen had already chosen the Su family as collaborators, why would Chi Gui have asked them to e?
Yin Xiuxiu, watching the unpleasant expressions on Xia Yong and his wife’s faces, smiled and added, "Also, you’d better go back and talk some sense into your sister. After the Su family collaborates with Tenggui Group, their status in Capital City will undergo a radical change, being unattainable for your Xia family... If she continues to cling stubbornly, it will only bring her disgrace!"
"Xiuxiu!" Su Haikang exclaimed sharply.
Yin Xiuxiu then fell silent.
Su Haikang glanced at Xia Yong, whose face had turned extremely ugly, and spoke nonchalantly, "Sorry, my wife is outspoken, don’t take it to heart. Well then, we need to go back and prepare for what follows, so we’ll be leaving first."
Xia Yong stood where he was, watching Old Sir Su, Chi Changjing, and Zhao Yuexiu walk past him expressionlessly, his fists clenched tightly.
His wife stood beside him, both anxious and angry, "I heard that this Chi Gui is the eldest daughter of the Chi Family, she specifically brought us here today; could it be that she colluded with the Su family just to humiliate us?"
Xia Yong took a deep breath and shook his head, "No. Chi Gui isn’t that kind of person."
His wife realized that she might have spoken too hastily, fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do now? Should we still wait? You heard what Su Haikang said earlier, Mr. Shen has settled on the Su family, so the person Chi Gui found for us definitely isn’t Mr. Shen."
Even if Mr. Shen personally made the decision, even if Chi Gui had brought in top executives from Tenggui Group, it would be of no use.
Xia Yong was also somewhat unsure, yet still said, "Let’s wait a bit longer... maybe, there will truly be a miracle..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the elevator door suddenly opened, and Shen Yun stepped out with a smile, quickly approaching them.
