Chapter 41 Framed
Upon hearing Bian Jiahui's words, I turned my gaze to the crowd, and the others around me followed my gaze and made way for me.
Lu Yuntian walked out with a smile, walked up to my father, greeted him politely, and then said meaningfully, "If I had known that President Jiang would also be attending this bidding meeting, I wouldn't have participated."
"President Jiang is very capable and has raised a good daughter. The rest of us can only follow along as runners-up." He had a forced smile on his face and glanced at me before continuing, "President Jiang is clearly certain of winning this bid. Why resort to such tricks? He's giving me, Lu, too much credit."
Upon hearing this, the people around started discussing it, curious about what was going on.
I couldn't help but frown. This Lu Yuntian gave me a strange feeling, and the way he looked at me made me feel uncomfortable.
"President Lu." Bian Jiahui stepped forward and greeted him politely, then said humbly, "I wouldn't have dared to trouble you with this, but I really don't know how to prove my innocence. I hope you can tell me the truth and whether I have revealed any secrets of the Jiang Group to you."
She acted so confidently that if I hadn't seen the evidence in the surveillance footage, I probably would have doubted myself and wondered if I had really wronged her.
The others also looked at Lu Yuntian, whose expression seemed somewhat troubled. He sighed and said to my father, "President Jiang, I know you don't want others to know the inside story of how you won this bid, but you can't just wrong a child like that."
With just one sentence, he whetted everyone's appetite. Anyone with eyes could see that winning this project would bring many benefits.
Many people put in a lot of effort, but my dad won the bid. Some people were curious, wondering if there was any inside story, while others simply didn't want my dad to have an easy time.
"Mr. Lu, we're all business people, we'll run into each other all the time, there's nothing we can't say to each other."
"That's right, we all participated based on the principles of fairness and impartiality. Could it be that someone used some means that we don't know about?"
"I don't think President Jiang is that kind of person. Maybe there's some misunderstanding."
The chatter among the crowd made my dad's face grow increasingly grim, and I vaguely sensed that something was wrong. These people talked about fairness and justice, but what they were really thinking was anyone's guess.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuntian sighed deeply, looking quite troubled, and then said, "As you may have heard, a stock market guru appeared some time ago. This guru is this young lady's boyfriend, surnamed Song, and he's a college student."
"I was just trying to appreciate her talent. We happened to meet and chatted a bit more. Who knew it would cause this young lady trouble? Young people, love and playful fights are normal."
After he finished speaking, the people around him smiled and glanced at Bian Jiahui and me, seemingly casually.
A hint of displeasure flashed across my father's face as he gave me a deep look. "It was just playful banter between friends, yet it's dragged Mr. Lu into having to explain himself."
I really didn't expect Lu Yuntian to speak up for them. What benefits did Song Chenhao promise that would make this old fox take a loss and still stand on their side?
Looking at Bian Jiahui's smile, I felt it was somewhat irritating and didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. I sneered and questioned, "President Lu, are you implying that the fact that your bid and our Jiang family's bid prices are so close is just a coincidence?"
He said this slowly and deliberately, then immediately shook his head. When he looked at me, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Didn't you tell me this price, Miss Jiang?"
His words made me hold back my tears instantly, and the people around me didn't react for a moment either. When they did, they couldn't help but start talking about it.
I quickly retorted, "Mr. Lu, my surname is Jiang. What reason would I have to disclose the price of my company's bid to you?"
I don't know what benefits Song Chenhao gave him, but if you're going to lie, you have to make it believable. Simply throwing this mud at me is completely unbelievable.
The others nodded in agreement, showing strong support for what I said.
My dad had completely calmed down and directly reprimanded the other party, telling them not to talk nonsense at this time and not to waste everyone's time.
Lu Yuntian's expression also tightened. "Now that things have come to this, I have to tell you the truth. When Miss Jiang came to me, she deliberately told me your family's bidding price, wasn't it all to frame this young lady?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Bian Jiahui, implying that young people are often willful. He also mentioned that I had once told him that I was jealous of Bian Jiahui and didn't want her to have an easy time, which is why I orchestrated this whole thing of leaking the banned tender.
The people present had different expressions. I didn't refute them, wanting to see what other outrageous things he could say.
Lu Yuntian paused slightly before continuing, "Originally, I followed your instructions and made sure your father saw me getting close to this girl, but I never imagined that it was all a conspiracy by your Jiang family."
He raised his eyes to look at my father and said in an ambiguous tone, "How exactly did your Jiang family win the bid? It's all because of you, my good daughter. You are indeed beautiful. No wonder you can make his childhood sweetheart so devoted to you."
His simple words instantly silenced everyone present.
Everyone here is in the same industry, so they not only know about my family situation, but also know that Ge Zeyu and I grew up together and have a childhood sweetheart relationship.
There's no need to elaborate on Ge Zeyu's family background; those present quickly realized this, and their expressions gradually turned wistful.
I didn't quite believe him at first, after all, it was too far-fetched for someone to submit a bid and then stage a whole drama on their own.
But now, with Ge Zeyu mentioned, even those who don't believe it are willing to believe it.
Once our Jiang family is proven to have colluded with Ge Zeyu's family, this bid will not only be invalid, but it might also implicate the Ge family, leading to an investigation as well.
Those who ultimately failed certainly didn't want others to succeed in acquiring the land.
It was only then that I realized this was not a conspiracy, but a well-intentioned scheme.
"Mr. Lu, could you please explain more clearly how our family won the bid?"
Lu Yuntian's smile was somewhat helpless. He glanced at the people around him and deliberately tried to cover it up, "They're just rumors. I don't think anyone wants to hear them anyway. It's all in the past. Everyone, please disperse!"
Of course, I couldn't allow this farce to end like this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain myself no matter what. "Mr. Lu, what if I insist on hearing this today?"
