"No matter what, this is the result we expected, and it's exactly what we wanted. Whatever the outcome, it's fine," Chen Ling said calmly at this moment.

“Yes, you’re right. The process isn’t important; what matters is the result. Let’s wait and see,” Liu Yuyang quickly added.

"Okay. I'm going to the restroom," Chen Mengyao said.

Then Chen Mengyao got up and started walking towards the restroom.

After Chen Mengyao left, Liu Yu immediately said, "What were you two talking about just now? You were speaking so quietly, I didn't hear you."

"What are you talking about? I don't know," Chen Ling asked Liu Yuyang curiously from the side.

"Oh dear, just now, the two of you were talking like that for quite a while, and I didn't hear a thing," Liu Yuyang complained.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I think I know. There really was such a thing, but I don't remember what we were talking about at the time," Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, okay," Liu Yuyang said helplessly from the side.

But at that moment, Chen Ling spoke up again: "What's wrong? Are you curious about what we talked about?"

“Yes, that’s for sure.” Liu Yuyang immediately replied to Chen Ling.

"Well, okay, but I have indeed forgotten what we were talking about," Chen Ling continued.

"Okay," Liu Yuyang nodded.

However, at that very moment, the host walked over again...

"It seems that not everyone has arrived yet," the host said from the podium.

Some people went to the restroom and are only now starting to return one after another.

However, the host didn't care whether everyone was present or not. After asking a simple question, he went back to his work.

The host then announced, "On behalf of the company's board of directors, I have reviewed today's bidding results. Based on the decision of the board members, we have chosen to cooperate with Company No. 9. As for the other companies, we will find another opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Just then, after the host finished speaking, people began to leave.

"Mr. Chen, our chairman would like to see you. Please come with me for a moment," the host said as he walked to Chen Ling's side.

"Okay, sure," Chen Ling said, looking up at the host.

Then Chen Ling turned to Liu Yuyang and said, "You wait here for Chen Mengyao. Just go to the car and wait for me. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here."

"Okay, sure. Just give us a call if anything comes up," Liu Yuyang nodded and said.

Chen Ling then smiled at Liu Yuyang and walked away with the host.

However, at that very moment, Liu Yuyang was filled with excitement. He thought to himself, "This is such a perfect opportunity! I can finally be alone with Chen Mengyao." Thinking this, Liu Yuyang was practically bursting with joy.

Not long after, Chen Mengyao returned from the restroom.

When Chen Mengyao walked over, she found that Chen Ling was not there. She then asked Liu Yuyang, "Where's the boss? Why are so many people gone? Have the results been announced?"

“Yes, our company won the bid, so naturally they want to meet with the boss and discuss the next steps of the cooperation,” Liu Yuyang continued.

"Okay, then shall we wait for him here?" Chen Mengyao continued.

"Let's wait for him in the car. He'll come straight to us when he's done with his work," Liu Yuyang said again. At this moment, Liu Yuyang's feelings were indescribable, but he pretended to be very calm on the surface. Mainly, Liu Yuyang knew that everything should be planned carefully.

"The boss told us to wait for him in the car, right?" Chen Mengyao continued at this moment. Chen Mengyao thought that if they went to the car, the space would be even smaller, and wouldn't the situation be even more awkward if the two of them were together?

“Yeah, there’ll be no one here soon, it’s not good for us to stay here forever,” Liu Yuyang said again.

Then Chen Mengyao nodded helplessly and said, "Oh, okay then."

After Chen Mengyao finished speaking, she saw Liu Yuyang turn around and prepare to leave, so she had no choice but to follow. Liu Yuyang was feeling quite smug. He happily started walking forward, with Chen Mengyao following behind.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling was still following the host toward the chairman's office. He noticed that their meeting room and office were not on the same floor, so Chen Ling had not yet reached them.

"Your company is quite large," Chen Ling remarked at this moment.

"Haha, yes, our company is quite large. Have you never been here before?" the host asked Chen Ling curiously.

"Yes, this is my first time here. Luckily, there were your staff members downstairs to greet us when we arrived today. Otherwise, I think it would have been quite troublesome for us to find your meeting room," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Chapter 493 A Pleasant Cooperation? 1

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he started laughing again. At that moment, Chen Ling was thinking that his company should probably expand its area.

"Yes, our area looks quite large, but our layout is quite good and the distribution is very clear. I believe that with your abilities, you certainly won't get lost here," the host continued to say to Chen Ling.

Then Chen Ling said, "Yes, I see. I need to think about our company's structure when I get back. It seems like it's time to make some changes."

"What's wrong? Isn't Mr. Chen's company big enough?" the host asked Chen Ling curiously.

“Yes, our company isn’t very big. People from your company who have been here before should have seen that. This is because we have a small number of people, and we don’t need office staff when we’re working on projects, so we’re scattered around. But it seems we can change that today,” Chen Ling continued.

"Haha, great, that's what continuous progress looks like!" the host said with a laugh.

"Hmm," Chen Ling said calmly.

However, at that moment, the host began to say, "Alright, we've arrived. This is our chairman's office. Please come in. Our chairman is already waiting for you inside."

"Okay," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then they saw Chen Ling knock on the office door and then go inside...

"President Chen, it's been a long time." Chen Ling heard the chairman's voice as soon as he entered the chairman's office.

Then Chen Ling greeted the chairman, saying, "President Wang, it's been a long time."

"Haha, it's really great to have the opportunity to cooperate with you this time." Just then, they heard President Wang continue speaking.

“Yes, I’m very fortunate to have this opportunity to cooperate,” Chen Ling said.

So, after Chen Ling finished speaking, President Wang didn't say anything more, but just looked up at Chen Ling, and the scene seemed a little awkward.

“I was very sorry that the collaboration didn’t work out last time. Fortunately, this time we have finally confirmed our partnership,” Chen Ling continued.

"Yes, last time our people went to your company to discuss cooperation, but we didn't reach an agreement. Fortunately, this time we were able to cooperate successfully, and I'm very happy about that," Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Then I heard Mr. Wang say, "Oh, please sit down, please sit down."

After hearing what President Wang said, Chen Ling first thanked him, and then sat down directly.

"Let me tell you, our company has always wanted to cooperate with you. Let's be frank. To be honest, I know what your company's situation is like lately," said General Manager Wang from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling looked up at President Wang and then said with a smile, "Then why would President Wang still be willing to cooperate with us?" Although Chen Ling spoke with a smile, his tone was indifferent. Chen Ling knew that President Wang definitely had something to say next.

"Haha, yes, why would I still cooperate with you? You've really asked me that question," said Mr. Wang with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately thought to himself, "This President Wang is indeed extraordinary; he has a very deep mind."

"Of course, I'll need your help to answer my questions. As an outsider, I certainly wouldn't know," Chen Ling said calmly. He thought to himself, "What's with all this talk about being direct? Who's beating around the bush here now?"

"Haha, it's probably because of your company's capabilities," said President Wang with a smile.

At that moment, Chen Ling spoke firmly, "Yes, I can assure you of that. In the construction industry, I don't think any company can match our capabilities. We have a significant advantage in both construction quality and time. Our construction team is outstanding. Your company has collaborated with us before, though at that time we were primarily working on national projects and didn't take on other projects. I explained that clearly to you then. Your willingness to collaborate with us again this time naturally stems from your appreciation of our capabilities. Otherwise, you wouldn't have proactively approached us for collaboration before, and wouldn't be willing to collaborate with us again now. Right?"

Chen Ling spoke at length, and his words were quite direct. He was extremely uncomfortable watching President Wang beat around the bush, so he spoke his mind without any hesitation.

"Yes, Mr. Chen is absolutely right. We have a clear understanding of your company's capabilities. However, does your company still have the resources to take on our project?" Mr. Wang asked again.

However, when Chen Ling heard what President Wang said, he couldn't help but laugh. Then he said, "Haha, President Wang, you must be joking with me. If we didn't have the energy to do it, we wouldn't have come to participate in this bidding. And the most important point is that if we really didn't have the energy to do this project well, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been willing to talk to us about cooperation this time."

Chen Ling's words were simple and clear, leaving General Manager Wang momentarily at a loss for words. However, leaders are known for their quick thinking, and General Manager Wang recovered in just two seconds.

"Yes, but we still have some concerns about that. Therefore, in our future cooperation, our company hopes to see some guarantees from your company," said General Manager Wang. At this point, General Manager Wang revealed his purpose.

However, after hearing what President Wang said, Chen Ling understood what President Wang meant by going through so much trouble before.

"Oh, Mr. Wang means you want some hard targets, right? Like, if our company can't complete the project on time, we're willing to compensate your company, right?" Chen Ling said, looking at Mr. Wang.

Chen Ling directly stated the meaning behind President Wang's words and asked about President Wang's purpose.

Chapter 494 Happy Cooperation? 2

At that moment, President Wang smiled faintly. He thought to himself, "Chen Ling is indeed not as simple as he seems." The battle between leaders, though outwardly calm and even seemingly peaceful, is actually incredibly fierce beneath the surface, filled with murderous intent.

"Yes, we hope to see your company's sincerity towards us. Is that too much to ask?" Mr. Wang said.

Then Chen Ling began to laugh and say, "President Wang, you're joking. How could it be excessive? Compared to the sincerity your company just showed us, what is a little compensation? Don't you think so? Alright, don't worry about that, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Yes, yes, I trust you. After all, the proposal is so well done," said General Manager Wang from the side.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling ignored President Wang and said directly to him, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Seeing this, General Manager Wang quickly said. Then he extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Ling.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now," Chen Ling said from the side.

"Okay, then you can go back first. We can discuss any questions later," Mr. Wang said with a smile.

At that moment, Chen Ling began to say, "Okay, I'll send you the contract before I leave work this afternoon. You can take a look at it. We can discuss the details in more detail next week on a workday."

“Okay,” Mr. Wang continued.

Chen Ling then turned and walked out, but President Wang did not follow him out to see him off, which further diminished Chen Ling's impression of President Wang.

"Hey, I'm down here, you guys come over." After Chen Ling came out, he first made a phone call to Liu Yuyang.

"Okay, wait two minutes, we'll be right there," Liu Yuyang replied immediately after receiving Chen Ling's call.

Chen Ling then hung up the phone and started riding the elevator...

Not long after, Chen Ling came down. After coming out, Chen Ling looked back at the building, feeling a mix of emotions.

Just as Chen Ling was starting to think about these things, he heard Liu Yuyang's voice.

Just then, Liu Yuyang's car pulled up in front of Chen Ling, and he rolled down the window and started calling for Chen Ling to get in.

"It's pretty fast, less than two minutes." Chen Ling said to Liu Yuyang after getting into the car.

"Haha, that's a must, always be ready," Liu Yuyang said with a smile. However, in his heart, Liu Yuyang was thinking that Chen Ling had come down too quickly; he and Chen Mengyao hadn't had enough time alone together yet.

"Boss, how did your talks go?" Just then, Chen Mengyao, who was sitting in the back, spoke up.

"I have to say, this Mr. Wang is quite shrewd. He's very concerned about our compensation and keeps asking me this question, asking in all sorts of roundabout ways," Chen Ling said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mengyao continued.

"He didn't say anything specific, I don't know why, but he kept going around in circles about the compensation. I think if he cares so much about the compensation, there's only one reason: he knows we'll definitely breach the contract somewhere," Chen Ling said.

Just then, Liu Yuyang said, "Hey, now that you mention it, I feel like everything is clear. The reason we were able to win this project so smoothly during the bidding process today must be quite something."
