Chapter 2285: Chapter 2087: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

Before answering the phone, he reminded Gu Ran, "Don’t forget what I told you. Hurry and call Zhang Zhihao to ask him about his aunt. What’s going on with today’s bidding meeting? His aunt is one of the project leaders and must know the inside scoop."

"Dad, I don’t want to call Zhang Zhihao anymore. If we can’t get this project, then so be it."

"Just forget it? You say it so casually! Without Jikang’s project, we’ll never meet our targets this year, and the shareholders are bound to cause trouble! Don’t you need money for your career in showbiz? If you can’t get Jikang’s project, you’ll be left with nothing! Hurry and call him to ask!"

After saying this, without caring whether Gu Ran was willing or not, he walked away.

Gu Ran swallowed her humiliation and begrudgingly went to call Zhang Zhihao.

Shortly after, Gu Qinian finished his call and returned. As expected, the Old Madam had scolded him fiercely over the phone, demanding he find a way to snatch the project back from Jianda. Feeling agitated, he came back and saw that Gu Ran had already finished her call. He lifted his eyelids slightly and asked, "What did Zhang Zhihao say?"

"What else could he say?"

Still angry about the scolding from earlier, Gu Ran pouted slightly and replied, "First, he apologized to me, then went to ask his aunt. She said that the few project leaders combined and handed over Gu Real Estate’s proposal to their CEO. Who knew, their boss didn’t even look and pulled out Jianda’s proposal, saying they wanted to use Jianda. In the end, Jianda won the bid."

"Dad, Jianda is such a small company. What is Jikang thinking? Why wouldn’t they choose us and instead pick a small company to undertake the construction of their headquarters... I truly can’t understand why."

Her chatter gave Gu Qinian a headache. He clutched his forehead and furrowed his brows while walking upstairs, "I know. Have Zhang Zhihao help you investigate how Jianda got their proposal to their CEO and see if there’s something shady going on. I’ll also go find someone to ask what’s going on!"

Jikang Group couldn’t possibly hand over the construction project of their headquarters to a small company without reason; there must be something fishy going on!

In less than a week, he uncovered the shady dealings behind the project.

Jianda got a new boss, and this new boss has an unusual relationship with Jikang Group’s CEO, KangJi. It is said Jianda’s proposal was directly handed to KangJi by the new boss, who insisted on using Jianda, overpowering other opinions within the company to complete the project.

He also discovered that the mysterious new boss of Jianda is none other than his long-estranged niece—Gu Linxi!

...

Half a month after Gu Linxi returned to Lin City, she received a birthday banquet invitation from the Gu Family.

The golden invitation was high-end and luxurious, highlighting the Gu Family’s wealth. It stated that it was the Old Madam’s 70th birthday and invited her to attend, thoughtfully including the hotel’s address.

Initially, she didn’t plan to go; after all, she wasn’t invited to the Old Madam’s 60th birthday and nine smaller birthday celebrations in between.

But she hadn’t anticipated that the Old Madam would personally call her; due to family relations, she thought over it on the day of the birthday banquet, put down her work, took some time to shower and change, and drove to the hotel mentioned in the invitation.

The Old Madam’s birthday banquet was held on a clear autumn day. Just by looking at the various fancy cars parked outside, one could tell the Gu Family had organized an exceptionally grand event.
