After Lin Feng announced the news at the general meeting on Monday, the entire Shuke Group was in an uproar.

"By the end of the month, the top-performing employees will each receive a BYD Song as a reward. The selection criteria are simple—whoever signs more deals, collects payments faster, and whose projects have higher profit margins will get the car. It doesn't matter what your position is or how long you've been with the company; it's all about performance."

The meeting room was quiet for a moment, then erupted into cheers that nearly lifted the ceiling off.

Lu Fei stood in the back row, nearly dropping the folder he was holding. Old Zhang from the scattered group next to him took off his glasses and vigorously wiped them with the corner of his shirt; his eyes were still red after putting them back on.

Several young salespeople jumped up from their chairs, patting each other on the shoulder, their faces beaming with the excitement of being hit by a huge surprise.

"Mr. Lin, you gave away houses last time, cars this time, shouldn't you give away your partner next time?" someone shouted from the corner, and the whole conference room burst into laughter.

"Find your own partners; the company doesn't arrange marriages. But if you do a good job, you can have your wedding banquet at the Keda Hotel, and I'll give you a discount." Lin Feng leaned against the podium, waiting for the laughter to subside, then tapped the microphone. "Less than a week left, everyone hurry up."

The atmosphere in the company was different after the meeting. People walked faster than usual in the corridors, and phones rang constantly between departments.

That afternoon, a few young people in the business department spontaneously formed a task force to tackle the projects that had been in a wait-and-see state before resuming their work.

In his office, Lu Fei listed out the goals for the remaining few days on a whiteboard, marking the estimated contract amount and signing deadline for each goal.

The speed at Yonghu is also very fast.

Within two days, the entire organizational framework of the transportation department was established. Several key drivers brought in from Shuntong Logistics served as team leaders, and a group of experienced drivers with experience in driving new energy heavy trucks were recruited from the community. The team of fifty people in total was divided into four transportation teams, each with a team leader and a dispatcher.

The newly purchased batch of new energy trucks has also arrived one after another. They drove into the parking lot one after another, lined up neatly in several rows, their paint shining brightly in the sunlight.

Yonghu stood in the parking lot looking at the new cars, took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the hem of his shirt, then put them back on and let out a long breath.

Several newly hired drivers were circling the new car, one touching the door and another tapping the tires, extremely excited.

"Old Yong, this batch of trucks looks even better than the last batch we had." An experienced driver who had come from Shunhu patted the front of the truck and shouted back to Yonghu.

"Of course, the latest batch has a much higher battery energy density than the previous batch."

Yonghu put his glasses back on his nose, took out his phone and began reporting to Lin Feng, "President Lin, everything is ready at the transportation department. The convoy has been assembled, all the new vehicles are in place, and we can start moving in as soon as the energy storage base project is finalized."

A few days later, the bidding for Yang Ru's energy storage battery production base project officially opened.

The bidding meeting was held in the multi-functional conference hall of the Jiangbei branch of the Provincial Investment Group, and several local and out-of-town engineering companies were present.

Lin Feng arrived in person with Yonghu and Lu Fei, dressed in formal attire and seated in the front row near the aisle.

Yang Ru sat on the podium, wearing a dark blue business suit, her hair was tied up, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She looked aloof and professional.

She glanced at the audience, her gaze lingering on Lin Feng for a moment before casually looking away.



The bidding process went very smoothly.

Shuke and Shuntong's joint offer was a few points lower than their competitors', and their technical bids were supported by successful cases from previous highway and forestry bureau projects. In addition, Yonghu's pre-prepared new energy transportation plan had significant advantages in energy consumption and timeliness. After listening to Shuke's presentation, the competitors' expressions were not very pleasant.

The final result was essentially a foregone conclusion; Shuke won the largest contract in the earthwork transportation segment. Yang Ru announced the winning bid in a businesslike tone, but Lin Feng noticed a slight smile playing on her lips when she put down the microphone.

After the meeting ended, Yang Ru walked out of the conference hall surrounded by a group of project team members. As she passed Lin Feng, she didn't stop, but her fingers lightly touched the cuff of his suit sleeve.

After leaving the provincial investment group, Lin Feng handed the contract to Lu Fei and told him to arrange for the engineering department to coordinate with him as soon as he got back.

He then drove back to the company, and shortly after entering his office, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, a slight smile playing on his lips, and answered.

"Aunt Ye."

"Busy? I need to talk to you about something." Ye Qinghan's voice came through the receiver, with the rustling of documents in the background. "The old town area near your house is officially starting demolition next week. After the demolition, a large amount of construction waste needs to be cleared away, and the excavated soil from the foundation also needs to be transported. It's a large-scale project. Can you handle it?"

"We can do it. We just purchased a batch of new energy trucks, and the transportation department has just been set up. We have the manpower and equipment readily available. Approximately how large is the scale?"

Ye Qinghan gave a rough estimate of a few figures. Lin Feng quickly calculated in his mind—the total amount of this batch of construction waste, including the earthwork transportation, was indeed not small. It would be just right for Shuke to handle a portion himself and for Shuntong Logistics to handle the rest.

Although Yonghu was transferred from Shuntong, Lao Qian has maintained good daily operations since taking over. The fleet size and transportation capacity are still there, so there is no problem with taking on this job.

"Okay, I'll have someone finish the proposal and send it to you in the next couple of days."

"No rush. The official demolition notice won't be issued until next week, you have plenty of time to prepare." Ye Qinghan paused, and when she spoke again, her tone had clearly changed. It was no longer the businesslike tone from before, but carried a gentleness that only Lin Feng could detect. "Have you been staying up late again these past few days? Your voice sounds a little hoarse. Have you drunk those boxes of ginseng slices I gave you last time?"

"I've had it. I make myself a cup every day. It's just that there's been a lot going on lately. We just secured the energy storage base project, the transportation department was just established, and we also need to prepare plans for the demolition and clearing work in advance. I'm working until midnight every day."

"No matter how busy you are, you need to take care of your health. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will take care of such a big operation like Shuke's?"

"I know. Don't just criticize me; don't you work overtime until midnight every day too? Last time I went to the Municipal Bureau to see you, I saw several stacks of case files piled up on your desk. Did you take on some big case again?"

"It's a follow-up case in the crackdown on organized crime. The provincial department is pressing us hard, so we've been quite busy these past few days."

Ye Qinghan sighed softly on the other end of the phone, then suddenly lowered her voice, with a hint of gentleness, "But even if I'm busy, I still want to hear your voice. Are you free tonight? Shen Qianqian isn't coming back from school today. If it's convenient for you, come over and have dinner with me."

"Okay. I'll head over as soon as I'm done here, around seven or eight o'clock."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After saying this, Ye Qinghan was silent for a few seconds, seemingly hesitating whether to say something more. In the end, she whispered, "Come over soon," and then hung up the phone.

After putting down his phone, he leaned back in his office chair, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and slowly curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.

The streetlights in the city bureau compound outside the window had just come on, and the orange light shone through the gaps in the blinds onto the pile of files on her desk.

He reached out and pushed the case file aside, took out the box of ginseng slices from the drawer, looked at it, and then put it back.

Then he picked up the landline and dialed an internal line, asking his secretary to postpone tonight's video conference until tomorrow morning.
