During the day, Yin Shixiu still didn’t rest. Early in the morning, Yang Rui, Mary, and several senior executives from the company ca to the house.
Su Xiaong stayed in the bedroom, and once the group arrived, they exchanged greetings before heading to Yin Shixiu’s study.
Each person looked anxious and serious.
Xiao ng took a deep breath. At least, it was true that the company was busy. Yin Shixiu wasn’t lying to her.
The bidding for the Beijing Governnt project was officially starting at 2 PM, which was 8 AM London ti.
The team responsible for the project in Beijing hadn’t slept for over forty hours, and it was nearly the sa situation in London.
Yet no one felt tired.
Even Yin Shixiu wasn’t as composed as usual.
He had shown the bidding proposal to Elder Zeng, who only said one thing, "Don’t expect too much."
So, Yin Shixiu didn’t have high hopes since ti was too tight, many pieces of information hadn’t co through, and the data might not be completely reliable.
No one was confident.
But... Everyone had done their best.
The project bidding was held publicly, and was broadcast live online.
A total of thirty-six enterprises were competing for the project, with five worthy of note, all young companies focused on system software.
For system software developnt, the "old guards" were far less competitive than the innovative and imaginative younger generation.
However, the most competitive was the Rong Group.
Not because Yin Group’s research and developnt capabilities were inferior to Rong’s, but because Yin Shiqing had aligned himself with them.
Yin Shixiu hadn’t expected Yin Shiqing to so quickly side with the Rong Group after his recent promotion.
This was simply the obvious ambition of a publicly ambitious man, without fear of being apparent to everyone.
Outsiders couldn’t understand the nitty-gritty details, only assuming that Yin Group had a definite chance of winning the bid.
The bidding companies left one after another in disappointnt, leaving only three in the end.
Yin Group, Rong Group, and...
"Xuanran Technology Co., Ltd.... Seems unfamiliar."
Yang Rui took a closer look, "Oh! This is a new company. Well... it stayed? This impressive!"
"..."
Yin Shixiu was speechless, "Brother, check it out."
New companies aren’t scary, but such a sharp ergence from a new company, at least needs so understanding.
"Oh! Don’t be so serious!"
Yang Rui sat cross-legged on the sofa, laughing while searching for information online...
"This company was registered in the United States two years ago and won a gold award at the corporate technology innovation competition held there. Hmm... that’s all online. The rest requires other ans to investigate."
Yin Shixiu nodded.
Registered in the United States, yet participating in the bidding for a Beijing Governnt project...
"Brother Yang, follow up later."
"..."
"What’s up?"
"Shixiu, my computer skills aren’t specifically for you to search for people, right?"
"Didn’t you see they’re advertising as a technology company?"
Yin Shixiu glanced at him.
"Saw it, so what? Yin Group is the leading company, this is just a tail, is it necessary to care?"
"Tail? Are you blind?"
"You..."
"They’re all competitors. Get a good check."
Yin Shixiu said, actually harboring a suspicion in his mind.
"Eh... maybe I should beco a detective later. Why am I still doing IT!"
Yang Rui murmured.
"Detective? I asked you to investigate soone, it’s almost three months, no leads, like this, and you’re going to be a detective?"
Saying this, Yang Rui suddenly exploded!
"You asked to find soone, at least provide so fa, right?! Do you know how many results pop up for a woman nad Cui Qiurong on search engines? Such a common na, I..."
"I gave you three months."
"..."
"I’m not pressuring you, just reminding you, don’t forget about this person."
"Speaking of which, Shixiu, if there’s never any outco regarding Cui Qiurong...?"
"Unless she’s already dead, there will be a result."
Yin Shixiu said confidently.
"If a result cos in ten or eight years, is it still significant?"
Yang Rui mumbled again, Yin Shixiu chuckled,
"Brother Yang, if it takes ten or eight years for a result, it’s no longer significant, but if you swear your Heaven and Earth Net will surely catch her, those words are slapping your face, aren’t they?"
"Haha! Indeed!"
Mary echoed.
Yang Rui blushed, and was embarrassed, remaining silent.
Gang up to bully him, vile!
Three hours later, the bidders finally announced the results.
Yang Rui suddenly put down his tablet, stopped checking ssages, and with eyes closed, made so unknown gesture in the air, suddenly pointing his index finger skyward, shouted,
"Yin Technology! Win!!"
"Yin Group."
It almost coincided within seconds, taking into account the potential delay in the online broadcast.
As Yang Rui shouted, the Beijing Governnt’s bidding party announced the result.
Yin Shixiu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Really? Really?! Oh yeah! Oh yeah oh yeah!"
Yang Rui, a man entering his forties, was now jumping like a monkey on the sofa, excitedly dashing around!
Yin Shixiu shook his head and said to Mary and the other two people,
"Take Brother Yang with you first. The results are out. The rest of the matters will be discussed later. Everyone has worked hard."
Mary nodded.
Yin Shixiu stood up to see them off. In front of these people, Yin Shixiu didn’t put on airs.
Just before leaving, Yang Rui turned back and whispered to Yin Shixiu,
"You haven’t resolved your conflict with Xiao ng?"
"Brother, you sure inquire a lot."
"Honestly, I don’t care how much your wife despises you, but today Xiao ng looked at ... I felt, hiss!"
Yang Rui exaggeratedly shook his body,
"Just as if I were in cahoots with you!"
"..."
Mary coughed lightly twice, dragging this unserious Immortal Demon away.
After the door closed, Yin Shixiu sank into thought. Turning around, Su Xiaong erged from the bedroom,
"Everyone’s gone?"
"Yes."
"Why not sleep a bit more?"
"Hungry, want to eat sothing. Where are Shuangshuang and Huang Huang?"
"Claire is giving them lessons."
Xiao ng responded, about to head towards the children’s room, when Yin Shixiu caught her hand and pulled her into his arms...
"What’s wrong?"
"Do you have sothing on your mind?"
"... No."
"That’s good. About going to Beijing, do you agree?"
"It’s up to you."
Xiao ng smiled at him, slipped her hand out of his palm, and went to the children’s room.
Yin Shixiu furrowed his brow slightly, she indeed was pretending to sleep...
Scratching his head, feeling a burst of frustration.
Three days passed just like that.
After resting for a whole day, Xiao ng’s fever was gone, but the coughing was persistent.
Yin Shixiu advised her to take another day off to rest at ho. Xiao ng didn’t agree and headed out with her bag.
The drive was long, Xiao ng slept all the way, groggy.
"Ma’am, we’re here."
"Oh."
She responded and got out of the car, stepping into the campus just as Cherry, who had parked, walked over from the parking lot.
Upon seeing Cherry, she hurriedly waved.
Cherry saw Su Xiaong from afar, hesitated whether to greet proactively, but Su Xiaong had already waved.
She smiled and walked over gracefully.
"Cough cough..."
Su Xiaong coughed twice, Cherry was surprised, "Sick?"
"Yes, a cold."
"No wonder I didn’t see you in class yesterday. Why not rest at ho?"
"It’s just a cold, I already took a day off yesterday, if I fall further behind, Dick will kill , right?"
Su Xiaong joked.
Cherry carefully observed Su Xiaong’s expression and complexion...
She pursed her lips and asked,
"Have you and your husband reconciled?"
Su Xiaong smiled,
"Yes, we made up that night. Haha! I went to his company to bring him dinner, he was so touched! How could he bear to keep having a tiff with !"
"Reconciled, that’s good."
Cherry smiled, taking a deep breath, the joy in her eyes was brighter than winter sunshine.
