Jian Ai quickly shook her head without thinking. “No, there’s no need!”

She knew that this kind of thing might be nothing to Ji Haoyu. As long as he casually gave a greeting, this project would fall on her head like a cake from the sky.

However, Jian Ai didn’t want to do this. If she relied on others for everything, it wouldn’t be Jian Ai.

The company was hers. She hoped to walk down the road step by step. All her hard work was also her contribution. Only then would she enjoy a sense of achievement when she achieved results.

Moreover, she already owed Ji Haoyu a few favors. If she continued to owe him, she was afraid that she could not repay him.

“I don’t have any intention of winning this project. I just want to let nature take its course. Therefore, even if I can’t get it, it won’t affect the company, let alone me. Therefore, thank you for your good intentions. Don’t interfere,” Jian Ai added worriedly.

Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Ai. Seeing that she was answering him so seriously with a trace of panic on her face, he couldn’t help but smile. He looked at Jian Ai and mumbled, “Silly girl, I’m teasing you.”

Jian Ai: “…”

Ji Haoyu cut a piece of fruit with a fruit knife and brought it to Jian Ai’s mouth. “Ah, open your mouth…”

Jian Ai looked at the apple in front of her, and Ji Haoyu’s focused expression. She did not dampen the fun and obediently opened her mouth to eat.

How sweet!

Ji Haoyu naturally continued, “I know what I can do, what I should do, what I can’t do, and what I shouldn’t do. You established the company single-handedly. Unless there’s a major crisis that you can’t get over, as long as you say nothing, I won’t interfere too much in your business.”

As he spoke, Ji Haoyu looked into Jian Ai’s eyes and smiled evilly. “In terms of a suitor’s self-cultivation, I must be clear about everything and know my limits!”

Jian Ai looked at the sincerity in Ji Haoyu’s eyes and her heart suddenly tightened. For a moment, she believed in Ji Haoyu’s sincerity.

However, Ji Haoyu quickly looked away. When Jian Ai wanted to capture that moment again, it had already disappeared.

…

At the Jian Group, Jian Changsheng sent his business partner’s representative off to the guest room and quickly returned to his office.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already lunchtime. He picked up the phone and called his secretary. “Go to the cafeteria and get a plate of fast food to send to my office. I have documents to handle at noon.”

As soon as he hung up, someone knocked on the office door again. Jian Changsheng answered without looking up, “Please come in.”

The person who pushed the door open and entered was a short-haired working woman in a professional outfit. Her capable temperament coupled with the thick glasses on her nose bridge added a trace of old-fashionedness. She looked like an extremely serious person.

The woman’s name was Han Wenjing, and she was Jian Changsheng’s trusted subordinate. Han Wenjing had written the bid for South City’s demolition plan. After three rounds of bidding, the Jian Group relied on the company’s strong strength and the bid Han Wenjing wrote to win South City’s demolition project!

The reconstruction project in South City came so suddenly that it was much earlier than everyone had expected. Jian Changsheng not only handed the bidding contract to Han Wenjing, but also appointed her as the person in charge of this project. As long as the bid was successful, Han Wenjing would be in charge of this project.

“CEO, I’ve finished writing the bid. Take a look?” Han Wenjing came to Jian Changsheng’s desk and said to him with the completed bid in her hand.

Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but look up at Han Wenjing and smile. “Alright, I’ll take a look. But I’m not worried if you wrote it!”

This smile made Han Wenjing lower her head slightly. She didn’t dare to look into Jian Changsheng’s eyes, but she said, “I’ll only feel at ease if you say that there’s no problem.”

“Alright, give it to me.” Jian Changsheng didn’t think too much about it and nodded with a smile.

Jian Changsheng took the document and flipped through it. “How many companies are qualified to bid this time?”

“There are ten companies,” Han Wenjing said.

Jian Changsheng raised his eyebrows. “That many? Seems the competition is more intense than the demolition project!”

“Reconstruction projects are more time-consuming and laborious than demolition projects, but the profits will increase year-on-year. It’s expected that the competition will be fierce,” Han Wenjing added.

Jian Changsheng nodded in understanding and looked up at Han Wenjing. He smiled and asked, “Are you confident?”

“Ah…” Han Wenjing was slightly stunned. She couldn’t help but purse her lips for a moment before whispering, “I’m confident, but the few companies competing this time are very powerful, including Century Group, Hongxiang Group, and… East Sea Real Estate!”

At the mention of East Sea Real Estate, Han Wenjing couldn’t help but look up at Jian Changsheng.

Logically speaking, with East Sea Real Estate’s scale and qualifications, the Jian Group did not need to take it seriously at all. It could not compete with the Jian Group at all. However, the reason Han Wenjing specially mentioned East Sea Real Estate was that this small company had many inexplicable rumors and entanglements with the Jian Group, so she thought it was better to remind the CEO.

As expected, Han Wenjing realized that the CEO’s expression had changed slightly when she mentioned East Sea Real Estate.

“East Sea Real Estate is in the running too?” Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment before looking up. His expression couldn’t help but turn solemn.

Seeing this, Han Wenjing thought the CEO was angry. She immediately said, “When I saw the name list, I was also a little shocked. After all, it’s difficult for that real estate company to support the reconstruction of a large district. However, as one of the top ten celebrity enterprises in Baiyun City this year, it’s reasonable for them to be chosen. The government has always hoped that the real estate industry in Baiyun City can bloom. East Sea Real Estate is the most eye-catching new enterprise this year. It’s reasonable for the government to support and promote it.”

Han Wenjing’s words sounded nice, but the core content was that she did not take East Sea Real Estate seriously. As she had said, East Sea Real Estate’s scale and ability were not enough to maintain the entire South City reconstruction plan.

The government wanted to use this opportunity to promote this company. After all, this was a common trick used by the higher-ups to promote new enterprises.

However, they would not give them this final project. After all, they still had to consider the actual situation.

What Jian Changsheng cared about was not on the same channel as Han Wenjing. East Sea Real Estate was Xiao Ai’s company. As her father, after putting aside all other uncertainties and when Jian Changsheng learned that East Sea Real Estate also got selected for the bidding, he hoped his daughter could win this project.
