He Xiaoman contemplated for a moment before she suggested. "Why don't we ask around about the secretary? She suddenly thinks highly of Lu Corporation. It doesn't seem right if we don't do something about it. "
Lu Xiaoman's father looked sideways at He Xiaoman as though he was considering the feasibility of her suggestion.
They spoke loudly, so Lu Xia, who was standing nearby with a glass of water in her hand, overheard part of their conversation.
Bid? The city secretary?
Lu Xia leaned against the kitchen counter and fell into a daze for a moment.
She recalled that the Lu family wanted to expand into the real estate industry in her past life, so they took part in the bid for the reconstruction of the old city area. However, they did not win the bid.
Moreover, not long after, there was news that the municipal government was in chaos, and a high-ranking political official was seriously ill, so the urban reconstruction project was also put on hold. At that time, the Lu family invested a lot of money in it, but in the end, it was all for naught.
"Why are you standing there in a daze?" Lu Ziming had just finished his homework and came downstairs. He could not help asking Lu Xia curiously when he walked over and saw her deep in thought.
Lu Xia returned to her senses. She glanced at Lu Ziming before she straightened her body and walked into the living room without replying to him.
She sat down on the couch with a glass of water in her hand. Her expression remained calm as she said, "Mom, Dad, did you mention that our company took part in the bid?"
He Xiaoman was in a good mood. When she looked at Lu Xia again, the unhappiness she felt in the car seemed to have dissipated. She said gently, "Uh huh. Lu Corporation is planning to expand into the real estate industry. If we win the bid, our family will prosper."
Lu Xia subconsciously rubbed the glass of water with her fingers. After some time, she pretended to ask curiously. "Are the chances of winning the bid high?"
"Uh huh. If all goes well, we should win." Although Lu Xia's father said "if all goes well," he sounded confident as though the bid was already a done deal.
Lu Xia looked at her father and opened her mouth to say something. However, He Xiaoman had already turned her head and continued talking to her father. Seeing how serious they were, Lu Xia could not get a word in edgewise.
"Old Lu, you should treat your friend from the government to a meal and ask him what's going on. I'll also ask an official's wife I know. We should try our best to make the bidding more stable," He Xiaoman said.
Papa Lu uncrossed his legs and nodded. "That's what I was thinking. This is an important stage for Lu Corporation's development. Now that the opportunity is here, we have to seize it."
"Yes, no matter how much we spend, we have to get this project." He Xiaoman's eyes were filled with a strong desire for power and fame. After all, no one liked a stagnant life.
Lu Xia frowned when she heard their conversation. Even though she knew it was not the right time to interrupt, she could not help speaking up. "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to bribe them. It's not easy to win the municipal bidding. Moreover, it's the renovation of the old city, so the Lu family won't be able to get it. After all, there are other big companies..."
Before she could finish, Papa Lu interrupted her. "You're just a kid and you don't understand. Don't say anything."
