On the same day, for SMQ and Chen Zheng, there would be no excitement or resentment.
Chen Zheng sat in the office of SMQ's project team, his expression arrogant and confident. "Bring out your best and make a bid that can defeat any competitor. You can report to me at any time and any place about this project. All the bidding conditions can be given to Ming Sheng at the most favorable rate. Even if it exceeds the standard, you can report to me, and I will report to the chairman. I must set a precedent for you. In short, this project can only be won, not lost. "
Everyone's expression was calm and determined. "Okay!" "Don't worry, General Manager!" "This project will definitely belong to SMQ!"
Chen Zheng nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the office building. At this time, the sun was setting, and the huge industrial park was bustling with activity, prosperous and lively. He stood in front of the building, his heart filled with pride and arrogance.
This year, the sudden collapse of Aida allowed SMQ to jump from third place to second place in the market. And this change happened after he took over from his father. He had created a new history for SMQ.
He wanted to do even better.
This Ming Sheng project was indeed to snipe Aida, to completely cut off their livelihood, and also to avenge what happened last time. But it was also the first time that SMQ was involved in such a large state-owned project. And this kind of project had always been monopolized by the market leader, New Bori: high profits, precious connections, wide influence …
And this time, he used a low price strategy and paid a high price just to enter this kind of market.
Maybe in the near future, he could officially launch an attack on New Bori and really fight for the market.
The same bidding document also arrived at New Bori. After the administrative department received it, they immediately sent someone to take the elevator to the CEO's office on the top floor.
New Bori's CEO, Ning Weikai, was wearing a new suit with a rose red tie. He sat behind the glossy office desk, his deep amber cuffs shining.
When his assistant came in with the bidding document, he was on the phone. His handsome face, which had just appeared on the cover of Fortune Magazine, had a gentle smile on it. His voice was gentle and lazy. "Do you like flowers? Ha … How could I forget today? I will pick you up at seven. Yes, wear the dress I ordered. "
After he hung up the phone, the assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, you are so considerate to Madam. You're so busy, but your relationship is still so good. It's really enviable. "
Ning Weikai helplessly smiled and said, "Today is our third wedding anniversary, and she wants to go to a noisy concert. Cancel the meeting tomorrow morning as well. I'm sure I'll be working until midnight today. "
The assistant hurriedly nodded in agreement. He was really envious of this young boss.
He was a young talent from the grassroots, but because he became the son-in-law of Zhu's company, he was able to take charge of the luggage and bag group that accounted for 13% of Zhu's company's revenue. Was there any man luckier than him?
Ning Weikai took the document from him, looked at it quietly for a while, and smiled.
The assistant asked softly, "According to the information we've received, SMQ and Aida are also determined to win this project. It's very likely that they'll adopt a drastic price reduction strategy. Our pricing system has always been relatively stable and on the high side. The marketing department also wants you to give a clear instruction on whether they want to reduce the price as well … "
"Tell them not to mess around." Ning Weikai interrupted him, "This time, we'll just stand by and watch."
The assistant was still a little hesitant. Ning Weikai saw his look and laughed, saying in a clear and gentle voice, "You've been working for me for so long, why are you still so stubborn? On one hand, our pricing system can't be reduced, or else it'll be chaotic. We can't lose the big picture because of a small price. On the other hand, in business, the most important thing is to know who your opponent is. Currently, the only opponent that could potentially threaten us is Chen Zheng. Let's let Aida fight with him to the death and hurt their foundation. How good would that be? "
The assistant said, "But … Chen Zheng is fighting for the Ming Sheng project, maybe he wants to take the opportunity to challenge New Bori."
Ning Weikai looked up at him and said, "Then let's deal with him."
The assistant said, "… Understood!" He then said, "I'll ask our people on both sides to keep an eye on them and report to me if anything happens."
Ning Weikai answered calmly, "Okay."
As the bidding day approached, Lin Qian became busier and busier. In the afternoon, she followed Li Zhicheng's instructions and moved into the project team dormitory.
The night was dark and the stars were dim.
Lin Qian was lying on her stomach on the bed, her shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail, reading the latest version of the bidding document produced by the project team.
These days, they really did it over and over again, interrogating the three bosses and then changing it again and again. And Lin Qian had to read it over and over again, until her eyes were glued to it.
After a while, she threw the document aside and buried her head in the quilt to rest. In her mind, she was thinking of the day when she was a little excited and confessed her love to him, saying things like "you're a born leader" and "you're a genius".
Pfft … How touching.
Thinking back, it could be counted as a compliment to show her true feelings. But the boss was still expressionless, obviously not caring about these words.
At this time, her phone rang. She picked it up. It was Xue Mingtao, "Assistant Lin, we've made some changes to the bidding document and sent it to your email. Is Mr. Li asleep? "
Lin Qian smiled and said, "He was just reading the document. I think he's still awake. I'll show it to him right away."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Qian had another idea in her mind. Their respectful attitude was enough to show that Li Zhicheng had established a preliminary prestige.
Li Zhicheng's room was next to Lin Qian's. It was already past ten o 'clock at night. The corridor was quiet, with only the orange light from the street lamps. Lin Qian walked over with her laptop and found that the door was half open.
For the past few days, Lin Qian, Gu Yanzhi, and the others had been going in and out of his room. Someone must have left the door open when they left. She did not mind and knocked on the door out of courtesy. Then, as usual, she pushed the door open and walked in.
But there was no one in the room.
Lin Qian walked to the desk, put down the laptop, and looked around. Oh, the door to the bathroom was closed. She stood quietly by the desk, waiting.
Soon, with a soft bang, the door to the bathroom opened and someone came out. Lin Qian looked over with a smile, "Boss, I brought you the new …" Her voice paused for a moment, then she continued, "… the bidding document."
The staff dormitory was not luxurious or spacious. Two or three meters away, Li Zhicheng was naked from the waist up, wearing a pair of black sweatpants, holding a towel in his hand. His hair and body were still wet, and when he looked up at her, his eyes seemed to be wet too.
Uh … In this company full of workers, naked men were quite common.
But it was a little awkward to bump into a naked young CEO.
Lin Qian calmly turned around with her back to him, turned on the laptop, and said, "I've marked the changes, do you want to see them now?" Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: Recently, there have been quite a lot of small awkwardness between me and my boss.
"Yeah." It was still a cool voice.
Then there was a rustling sound. He was probably putting on his clothes.
But Lin Qian stared at the lines of black words on the screen, and her mind automatically came up with the vivid scene she had just seen.
Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, well-proportioned muscles, and strong lines all over his body. Most importantly, he was standing very straight, with a handsome face and handsome facial features. His loose pants were tied around his slender waistline … Cough cough, he was no different from those sexy male models who deliberately showed off their bodies in photos that were slightly bewitching and deliberately showing off their bodies.
Lin Qian, what a feast for the eyes.
She slightly curled up the corner of her mouth until she heard unhurried footsteps behind her, and then she turned her head to look at him.
Who would have thought that upon taking a closer look, he would be stunned once more.
Probably because of the suddenness, the boss had put on a white shirt. The first button was unbuttoned, and the collar was a bit messy. His slightly damp short hair stuck to his forehead. There seemed to be water stains on the chest of the shirt that hadn't dried yet.
He stood under the light, looking down at her, his eyes indifferent, his thin lips slightly pursed.
Lin Qian looked at him a few times and then looked away. His eyes were also focused on the computer screen, and he bent down, put his hand on the mouse, and began to scroll through.
Lin Qian glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. How could a boss be so handsome? The more she looked at him, the more handsome he looked.
She moved the stool beside her to behind him, "Boss, sit down."
"Yeah." He glanced at her, "You sit down too. I'll tell you to change it. "
"Okay."
Lin Qian didn't expect the two of them to work together for a few hours.
After Li Zhicheng finished reading, he made a few suggestions. She marked his suggestions in the document and sent it back to the project team. As a result, they seemed to be encouraged by the boss, so they quickly revised it and sent it over. They also sent some other attachments one after another. Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian continued to read, and time passed without them noticing.
When it was almost three o 'clock, Lin Qian finally couldn't stand it anymore. Although she had always been a hard worker, she would never stay up late if she could. She didn't want to age early.
She glanced at Li Zhicheng again. He was still sitting upright, staring at the screen, his eyes dark and focused, and there was a light luster in his eyes. He didn't look sleepy at all.
Lin Qian yawned.
He tilted his head to look at her, "Sleepy?" His cold voice sounded.
How could she say that if the boss didn't say he was sleepy? She smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll go make a cup of coffee and be right back." Just as she was about to get up, she saw his two long eyebrows slightly frown, and he looked up at her, "Why do you want to drink coffee in the middle of the night?"
His calm voice was slightly domineering.
Lin Qian looked at him a bit blankly, sitting there without moving.
Boss … actually forbade me from drinking coffee?
Was he concerned about me?
Her heart suddenly warmed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him say calmly, "If you're sleepy, go to bed and sleep for a while. I'll wake you in 15 minutes."
Lin Qian subconsciously looked at the big bed in the room. It was clean, tidy, wide, and the quilt was folded like a piece of tofu.
Lin Qian was a neat freak when it came to bed. She felt that it was a very private place where skin touched skin. She never liked people sitting on or sleeping on her bed, and she tried not to touch other people's beds. Not to mention that this was the boss's bed.
She smiled and said to him, "It's okay, I'll just sleep on my stomach for a while."
Li Zhicheng didn't say anything and continued to turn his head to look at the computer. Lin Qian put her arm on the table and buried her head in it.
Temporarily blocking out the light, her eyes were dark. The movements around him became clearer and clearer.
She could even clearly hear the man's even breathing next to her, the sound of him gently flipping through the files, and the sound of his fingers moving on the mouse, making the night even more warm and tranquil.
When Lin Qian woke up, she felt that her surroundings were unusually quiet, even quieter than before.
She raised her head and looked at her surroundings. Then, she smiled.
The computer screen in front of Li Zhicheng had been turned off, and the pile of bidding documents was neatly put aside. It looked like it was done? Li Zhicheng was still sitting in the leather chair next to her. But his hands were on the armrests, his head was leaning back, and he had fallen asleep.
Lin Qian looked down at her watch and stuck out her tongue. It was already five o 'clock, and she had slept for more than an hour.
The boss said he was going to wake her up, but he had fallen asleep.
Just as she was about to get up, she realized that someone had put a suit on her. The men's suit was, of course, huge on her, almost covering her whole body. It was ironed and warm, and the smell was dry and fresh.
She turned her head to look at the thin white shirt the boss was wearing. She gently took off the suit and put it on him. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, his eyes quiet under the light.
It was almost dawn, and Lin Qian didn't want to wake him up. She planned to go back to her room.
But just as she was about to walk around him, she found it difficult. There was a narrow walkway between the desk and the bed. His big leather chair was placed horizontally, and the back of the chair was tightly pressed against the edge of the bed. Both of his long legs were stretched under the table, and his knees were almost touching the table, leaving only a very narrow space.
She didn't want to step over his bed; she didn't like to touch other people's beds. She estimated the distance and felt that it should be about right, so she pressed her body against the edge of the table, trying to step over his knees. Her legs were also very long, so she didn't want to disturb him.
Wait a minute. She stood between his legs with one foot.
Another step, and she successfully stepped over …
Before she had time to be satisfied, the man next to her seemed to be disturbed, and his body suddenly moved. Lin Qian didn't know why, but her foot slanted and stepped on his instep …
Although she didn't wear high heels according to the boss's wishes, she still had a pointy middle heel. As soon as her foot landed, she heard the man's originally calm breathing suddenly quicken, and his foot suddenly bounced up!
How could Lin Qian stand still after being tripped like that? Her body quickly fell to the side …
"Ah!" she couldn't help but let out a low cry.
She felt a firm force on her waist, and a hand quickly grabbed her. Lin Qian's body slanted, and she was actually locked on his thigh.
Lin Qian turned her head to look at him, a little stunned.
He had already opened his eyes. Perhaps because he had just woken up, his eyes were a little misty under the light, staring at her.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Qian was silent.
Boss, can your reaction not be so fast? So fast and accurate? Every time I touch you, I will immediately be restrained by your Grappling Hand.
"I'm not doing anything. I just want to go out, "she said." Did I step on you? "
He looked at her, his eyes distant. "Yes."
Uh … Lin Qian didn't know what to say for a moment.
As they talked, his hand was still tightly wrapped around her waist. Because they were very close, Lin Qian could even smell the cold breath on his body. And under her body, his thigh was warm and firm.
She quickly broke away from his hand and stood up, her face quickly heating up. "I'm sorry. Then I'll go. Good night. "
After returning to her room, Lin Qian touched her face with her hand. It was so hot.
She was so embarrassed to actually sit in her boss's arms.
It was dawn. Lin Qian, who had only slept for a short time last night, tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't stop thinking about the way Li Zhicheng had stared at her under the light, his dark eyes, his strong hands, and his cold breath.
His heart was thumping non-stop. She even had a ridiculous thought in her mind: Boss wouldn't think that she was a spy and wanted to do something to him just now, would he?
Of course not.
It was so embarrassing. She didn't want this kind of accident to happen again.
Two days later, Gu Yanzhi personally led the project team to the headquarters of Ming Sheng Group for the tender presentation. Ming Sheng didn't announce the winning bid on the spot.
For the next few days, Aida was busy as usual, half-dead. And everyone related to the project was looking forward to it nervously. Including Lin Qian.
She had a strong feeling that Aida would definitely win the bid this time.
Whenever she thought of what Li Zhicheng had said the other day, and the tender they had prepared, which had "done the best" as Lin Mochen had said, she was full of confidence.
She felt that the client would definitely be impressed.
On Monday afternoon of the next week, the news finally came.
The senior executives of Aida were having their weekly meeting, and Lin Qian was also present to take minutes of the meeting. Halfway through the meeting, Gu Yanzhi's phone rang. As if they had expected something, everyone in the meeting room instantly quieted down.
He exchanged a look with Li Zhicheng, then picked up the phone. After a few brief words, he only heard a few "hmm" sounds. Finally, he put down the phone and looked at everyone. His eyes were calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"The bidding result of Ming Sheng is out. SMQ won the bid. "
