As a villain who transmigrated, all I want is to survive.

"Why are you getting involved? Your family isn't involved in this kind of thing."

Lu Minghai looked at Jiang Yuze with curiosity and realized that Jiang Yuze didn't seem to be joking.

Jiang Yuze said with a solemn expression, "Back then, the higher-ups didn't directly ask the six major families to invest in this project. Instead, they found an outside company to undertake it, precisely because they were afraid that something shady might happen."

Lu Minghai scoffed dismissively.

"Now look what happened. The out-of-town company they hired almost ruined countless lives. If an accident really happens, they'll have to step down."

"Old Jiang, why don't you go ask your father for his opinion? If the Jiang family is involved, this project will be easier to secure." Mu Qingfeng tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Lu Minghai wasn't stupid. Mu Qingfeng had made it so clear, so he naturally understood why Jiang Yuze wanted to get involved.

After Jiang Yuze left, Lu Minghai looked at Mu Qingfeng with a look of admiration.

"Brother, you're really thoughtful. I was wondering why you insisted on having Lao Jiang come and listen in. So that's what you were planning." Lu Minghai gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

Mu Qingfeng simply smiled and leaned back on the sofa.

"Old Jiang is a sensible man; it's quite good to deal with him."

When this project was first launched, it was a complete mess, and nobody wanted to take it on.

The higher-ups didn't want to approach the six major families, and the six major families didn't want to risk offending them.

When Sheng Fang took on this project, he solved a major problem for the higher-ups, and naturally, the project was approved very quickly.

Since Shengfang is unable to take on projects and the higher-ups have no other options, the Mu and Lu families have offered to take them on, and with the Jiang family as a guarantor, the higher-ups are naturally less likely to refuse.

Mu Qingfeng's attitude towards this project was that he had to win it!

Jiang Yuze was very efficient and received a reply the next day.

"Brother Mu, you have to treat me to a meal! I finally managed to convince my father-in-law," Jiang Yuze said exaggeratedly.

Lu Minghai put his arm around Jiang Yuze's shoulder and said, "Don't even mention Brother Mu, I have to treat you to a meal. You've been a lot of help lately."

Mu Qingfeng smiled and nodded slightly.

“We’ll treat you to a big meal together, order whatever you want. But let’s make it clear, no fancy stuff.” Mu Qingfeng said with a smile, giving Jiang Yuze a warning look.

Jiang Yuze wailed and said, "Old Lu, Brother Mu is getting more and more boring. I'm starting to doubt if this is really the Brother Mu I know."

Lu Minghai laughed so hard his shoulders shrugged.

"Old Jiang, just accept Brother Mu's changes. I've been suffering for months."

"Once we secure the Huaihai Road construction project, I don't know if your family will send you to handle the coordination. You'll be spending all your time with Brother Mu then, and you'll truly understand what real suffering is."

Lu Minghai spread his arms wide, looking as if he was enjoying himself.

Soon, the higher authorities issued a tender document, inviting outstanding companies from Shanghai to participate in the bidding for the construction of Huaihai Road.

Furthermore, six major families were specially invited to this bidding conference.

Bai Wanru was at work when she received a message from her assistant.

She was shocked when she saw the news.

Wasn't this project undertaken by Shengfang?

Why would there be a sudden re-tendering process?

In particular, the document specifically mentions the six specially invited families.

Bai Wanru had a feeling that this matter was not so simple.

She immediately contacted Xiao Hei and asked him to investigate why Shengfang Group had abandoned the project.

Xiao Hei is indeed a know-it-all; he replied in less than half an hour.

"A few days ago, the chairman of Shengfang Group was invited to have tea by Fengming Company. After returning, he proposed to the higher-ups that he withdraw from the project."

At this moment, Liu Qianqian walked up from behind Bai Wanru and, seeing Bai Wanru engrossed in what she was looking at, asked, "Jiajia, what are you looking at?"

Bai Wanru shuddered and put her phone away: "It's nothing."

She gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

Liu Qianqian looked at her with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything. She handed her a document.

"This is the new settlement standard. From now on, we will use this to audit the data of stores."

Bai Wanru smiled and accepted the document.

After Liu Qianqian returned to her seat, she couldn't help but feel that Bai Wanru's reaction was a bit off.

The bidding meeting was scheduled for Friday, but it's already Thursday, so Bai Wanru asked her supervisor for leave.

She also wanted to go to the bidding conference to see what was going on.

Bai Wanru borrowed a copy of her mother's report from Xiaoxue and changed the name on the picture.

"Supervisor, my mother isn't feeling well. We need to take her to the First Hospital of Shanghai for a checkup tomorrow. This is her previous medical report, which says she needs to go to a larger hospital." Bai Wanru said with a worried expression.

The supervisor didn't look at the report, smiled and said directly, "The company gives employees one day off each month to spend with their parents, no report is required."

Bai Wanru opened her mouth. Although she had worked at Fengming Company for a period of time before, she did not know all the details.

She hadn't stayed there for more than a month before Mu Qingfeng recognized her.

The head of the administrative department probably forgot to tell her about it.

She wasn't actually there to work, so she wouldn't even notice when the holidays were.

When she asked Xiaoxue for the report, she didn't say what she needed it for, and Xiaoxue naturally didn't tell her either.

Bai Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, put away the report, and said, "Okay, thank you, supervisor."

On Friday, the higher-level departments held a bidding meeting, which was attended by city leaders.

When Mu Qingfeng and the others saw the city leaders, they knew how much importance the higher authorities attached to this project.

Bai Wanru had already entered the venue and saw Mu Qingfeng and Lu Minghai at the entrance.

The previous bidding process did not invite the six major families, and at the time, no local Shanghai companies were willing to take on the task.

After Mu Qingfeng took his seat, Su Xueyi walked over and stood in front of Lu Minghai.

She gave Lu Minghai a wink, but Lu Minghai raised an eyebrow and didn't move.

"Oh, Miss Su, it's been a long time."

Lu Minghai deliberately greeted them, attracting the attention of Mu Qingfeng, who was talking to Jiang Yuze.

He turned his head and immediately saw Su Xueyi standing there.

Su Xueyi said, "Get up and sit over there."

"You think you can just get up whenever you want?"

"I'll give you 50,000," Su Xueyi said.

"Okay, sis, if you need, I'll take Lao Jiang with me too." Lu Minghai instantly changed his arrogant attitude, becoming like a lackey.

Su Xueyi smiled and said, "No need, just save me a seat."

As soon as Lu Minghai stood up, Mu Qingfeng grabbed him as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Minghai, she told you to get up, so get up! How can you be so spineless?" Mu Qingfeng frantically winked at Lu Minghai.

Lu Minghai shrugged. "Brother Mu, why don't you take out some money to bribe me and see who offers the higher price?"

Mu Qingfeng was speechless and said coldly, "I don't have any money to give you."

Fifty thousand yuan is more than half a year's salary for an ordinary person. How can you just give it away like that?

If Lu Minghai knew what Mu Qingfeng was thinking, he would complain incessantly.

You are the eldest young master of the Mu family!

Is it really worth the extra 100,000 yuan?
