The seating arrangement at the bidding venue is determined by drawing lots, and this also depends on the order in which the plans will be explained later!
Gu Chengyan and Li Muhan sat in seat number 12. They drew number 12, which was the last one.
As for Boya Company, where Zhao Junhui works, it happened to be No. 11, right in front of them.
Li Muhan felt that this sequence was very good. Just when Zhao Junhui finished speaking proudly and thought he had a chance to win, he kicked him hard!
The venue is very large, with the main seats in front of them being the main seats of the bidding companies. Behind them, there are also spectator seats, but under normal circumstances, they are occupied by the assistants and secretaries of each company. One is for waiting, and the other is for waiting. If the boss has any needs, he can come forward to deal with them as soon as possible.
Lu Ziyu was among them, holding information that would be used later.
Behind the spectator seats is a place reserved for reporters to interview and record. The reporters downstairs have already set up their seats and are waiting for the bidding to begin.
And the bidding started on time!
After a simple opening and announcement process, each company's plan explanation began, in order.
Li Muhan was listening very carefully. Not to mention, there were several plans or design drafts that were really good and very attractive.
He turned his head and whispered to Gu Chengyan who was standing aside,
"Chengyan, this is a good point, what do you think?"
“It’s really good, very comprehensive!”
He lowered his head and answered Li Muhan in a low voice.
Because these plans and design drafts have been submitted to the responsible departments for review, the current speeches focus on key points, and each company only has fifteen minutes to explain.
In this way, the progress was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, we arrived at Zhao Junhui's company.
As the keynote speaker, Zhao Junhui tidied up his attire and walked up. He first made a humorous and polite opening statement, which attracted everyone's attention, and then got to the topic.
His design plan for the development in the south was mainly based on that design draft for expansion and setting.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this design draft was stolen, compared with other companies' plans, the probability of successful bidding would be very high.
If they hadn't known about this situation beforehand and didn't get involved, the result would have been somewhat obvious, Li Muhan thought.
The sounds of discussions among people from other companies could be heard in my ears.
“Boya’s plan is very good!”
"Indeed, it fits well with the ideas for development in the south!"
"No wonder Mr. Zhao was so confident before we started!"
Then there were a few more sounds of regret, feeling that there was no hope for me.
Li Muhan listened to the conversation of these people, and then looked at Zhao Junhui, who was talking very confidently on the stage, and his eyes gradually deepened.
I have to say that his appearance and state added a lot of points to this explanation.
And looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but long for the past again.
Classmates and friends all said that she married well. Her husband had been pursuing her fiercely since college, and he asked to marry her immediately after graduation.
My husband is even more handsome, has a good family background, and has an excellent job. He leads an enviable life.
She originally thought so too and felt that she was the luckiest and happiest one. She had been married for many years and had complete trust without a trace of suspicion or jealousy.
Except that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not that good, Zhao Junhui loves him and thinks of him in his heart, and that is enough.
She could endure some of the difficulties his mother made for her.
She just needs to try her best to do her part and have a clear conscience.
But the part that she originally thought was the happiest and the most important part of her life has secretly changed. Now that she thinks about it, it's really disgusting!
Just as Li Muhan's thoughts were flowing, a burst of warmth came from her hand, pulling her away from the painful memories. She turned around and met Gu Chengyan's concerned eyes.
"Mumu, are you okay?"
Gu Chengyan was just paying attention to Li Muhan's condition out of habit, but he saw Li Muhan's eyes fixed on Zhao Junhui on the stage, motionless.
Just when he wanted to tease her a little bit, he realized that she was not in the right state. It was obvious that her thoughts were not here.
Could it be that seeing that Zhao Junhui reminded him of all the unhappy things in the past?
Thinking of this, Shen held Li Muhan's tightly clenched hand and found that it was cold, so he called her out.
Seeing this, Li Muhan shook his head and said,
"I'm fine!"
However, because he was not in a high mood at this time, he did not say much. Zhao Junhui's explanation happened to end, and a round of applause sounded in his ears.
What followed was,
"Next, I would like to invite the design director of Gu Group to explain to us Gu Group's design plan for this southern development. Welcome!"
Thinking of the applause again, Li Muhan showed Gu Chengyan a "don't worry" smile, stood up, pulled away his hand, and walked towards the stage.
And at this moment, he happened to bump into Zhao Junhui who was walking down the stage. When they missed each other, Li Muhan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"Stealer!"
Here, the smug Zhao Junhui stopped in surprise, quickly turned around and looked at Li Muhan, who had walked over, looking as usual, as if those three words were not what she said, and deeply doubted whether he had heard wrongly.
But those three words were extremely clear, not like auditory hallucinations.
Zhao Junhui followed Li Muhan with puzzled eyes until he walked onto the stage.
Li Muhan stood still and turned around. He saw Zhao Junhui looking at him with a shocked expression. He sneered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face and he said,
"Does Mr. Zhao want to stand here and listen to my explanation?"
Zhao Junhui realized that he had lost his composure, and without saying anything, he withdrew his gaze and returned to the location of his company.
But before sitting down, he felt a sharp gaze directed at him, but when he looked up, there was nothing there. As for the direction, it was towards the Gu Group.
After Gu Chengyan withdrew his gaze, he listened intently to Li Muhan, who was explaining seriously on the stage, with gentle eyes.
Li Muhan talked about it unhurriedly. She was very confident in her design draft and Chengyan's plan. She could just talk about the most prominent points.
This time, as she explained, there were more compliments.
"I thought Boya's was pretty good just now, but I want to compare it with this..."
"I think there is no suspense in today's bidding!"
"I think so, but speaking of it, this design was designed by Mrs. Gu herself. This talent is extraordinary!"
Originally, they just heard that the president of the Gu Group suddenly got married to a freshly graduated college student. While surprised, they also felt that no matter how outstanding this man was, he liked young and beautiful people.
Especially with the hot search some time ago, although it has been clarified that it was a deliberate guidance, in private, everyone's comments about this young Mrs. Gu are not very good.
But now that I see this design, I am very impressed, even surprised.
For talented people, especially for them, talents with design talent are really hard to come by, and they will naturally look at them differently.
Now, no one will think that Gu Chengyan married Li Muhan just because of her youth and beauty.
Gu Chengyan heard the praise of Li Muhan from the people around him, and the proud smile on his face became more and more wanton.
On the stage, Li Muhan finished his explanation and nodded slightly to everyone.
"This is the end of the explanation of the design plan, but I will take a moment to explain one situation, that is, the design drawings used by Boya Company are stolen!"
Li Muhan's tone was extremely certain, and he looked directly at Zhao Junhui in the audience, his eyes cold!
For a moment, the scene was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing,
"How can this be?"
"Yes, who did you steal it from?"
"Also, how did Mrs. Gu know about this?"
The reporters in the back row were all feeling a little bored. Unexpectedly, such shocking news suddenly broke.
"Quick shot, quick shot, this is big news!"
"Isn't this the highlight of what Mr. Hui Gu said?"
"It's possible. The explanation of the plan is over, and there's no special news. This should be it!"
Everyone immediately gathered around Boya's seat, and the camera looked directly at Zhao Junhui,
"Mr. Zhao, is what Mrs. Gu said true?"
"Is that design drawing really stolen?"
Zhao Junhui's head buzzed. He didn't expect such a situation to happen suddenly. He immediately thought of the phrase "thief" just now. He didn't hear it wrong, it was true.
He stood up and retorted loudly to Li Muhan, who was still standing on the stage,
"Mrs. Gu, you can't say this nonsense. This design draft was created by our design department staff after several long nights. How could it be stolen from others!"
People from other companies around stood up and watched this sudden 'big drama'. When they heard this, they all looked at Li Muhan on the stage.
Li Muhan's expression remained normal. Even though so many people and reporters were watching and filming her at the same time, she opened her lips slightly and looked directly at Zhao Junhui's angry face.
"Mr. Zhao should know it well. Maybe it's not considered stealing in your mind, because you are so shameless that you just use it!"
Li Muhan said, walked off the stage and walked towards Zhao Junhui.
Zhao Junhui also took two steps forward, but after only two steps, he was stopped by someone. He looked up and saw Gu Chengyan with a cold face. The meaning in his eyes was obvious.
'Try one more step forward? '
"Mr. Gu!"
Zhao Junhui immediately changed the conversation partner.
"It's not good for Mrs. Gu to talk nonsense without any basis!"
"Who said there is no basis? Why is it bad!"
This was the first time Gu Chengyan spoke in public since the bidding began, but his calm voice stated an indisputable fact, that is, everything Li Muhan said was right.
When Zhao Junhui met Gu Chengyan's eyes, he inevitably panicked, but he forced himself to calm down.
"Mr. Gu said there is evidence, so you might as well speak out and listen. You can't rely on your Gu family's power to frame people like this!"
There were several echoing words from unknown people around, and I felt that what Zhao Junhui said was very reasonable. This also made Zhao Junhui more confident!
Li Muhan walked over at this time and sneered twice,
"Zhao Junhui!"
This time, Li Muhan did not call him Mr. Zhao.
"Do you really think that no one knows the origin of that design draft? It was the design draft of your late wife Shen Yiqiu during her lifetime, and you directly copied it here without touching it. This is not stealing, it is nothing!"
