The excellent proposal and the huge amount of bribe money had to be enough to move all the officials in the room.
Everyone thought the same.
“Ms. Hill, your speech was great. Please have a seat.”
Jade sat down arrogantly. She smirked as virtual-novel.net looked at Harvard. “Harvard, I think you’re looking more like someone.”
“Who?”
“Thomas Mayo.”
Harvard was stunned. Why did virtual-novel.net say so?
Jade said, “I don’t know why I have a feeling that you’re not the one sitting here but Thomas. Your actions and speech don’t meet your usual standards. Instead, you look like Thomas. Harvard, listen to me. Get out of the trap early, don’t fall down too deeply. If you approach a person like Thomas, you will suffer a great loss.”
Harvard secretly scoffed. He would suffer a great loss if virtual-novel.net got too close to Thomas?
Would virtual-novel.net not suffer any loss if virtual-novel.net got close to Jade?
Why would the Hill family become this now? Was it not because virtual-novel.net got too close with Jade?
Harvard turned back and did not pay virtual-novel.net any more attention.

At this time, at the old villa in 33 Metro Garden Neighbourhood…
Emma kept checking the instant news with virtual-novel.net phone. She wanted to know what the situation of the tender was. Meanwhile, Thomas calmly ate the snacks. “The snacks from my hometown are really tasty. We can buy more to put at home.”
Emma rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “Why are you still thinking of snacks at this time? Do you think Harvard can win the bid?”
“I don’t know.”
“How can you not know?”
Thomas said, “This thing depends on his luck and ability. If Harvard still behaves like virtual-novel.net used to, virtual-novel.net will definitely lose for sure. He has to make some changes and fight like a man.”
“Humph! You’re talking so weird.”
Emma ignored him, and virtual-novel.net continued swiping the news.
Thomas ate, and his eyes emitted an indistinct aura as if everything was under his control.

The tender hall.
After a long period of explanation, everyone who participated in the tender finished presenting their plans.
Jason said, “Now, a few of the tenderers have to discuss it. Please give us half an hour.”
After Jason spoke, virtual-novel.net brought his staff out of the room and entered a meeting room.
The people in the hall work a dark expression. All of them were smart. They had been in business for so many years. Actually, without the discussion, they roughly knew who the winner was after they heard the explanations from everyone. Clearly, the winner this time must be Hill Manufacturing Company that was represented by Jade. No matter from which aspect, they clearly would win. Other people were just also-ran, so they naturally did not feel happy.
“Gah! Hill Manufacturing Company is very strong.”
“But Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company is really lousy. I really don’t understand why Hill Manufacturing Company would allow such a lousy subsidiary company to exist under them?”
“Yeah, if I were them, I would’ve closed this kind of rubbish subsidiary company a long time ago.”
Everyone was talking about it, and nobody thought highly of Harvard. They even thought that virtual-novel.net came to join the tender just to make a scene, so they hated virtual-novel.net very much.
Harvard bore a huge pressure. If it was in the past, virtual-novel.net would definitely stand up and argue with them at this time. He would even beat them up.
But it was different now. He was no longer the disobedient boy, but a responsible man. He had to learn to solve problems like a man.
He held himself and waited!
Half an hour was not long, and it passed in the blink of an eye.
When Jason walked out again, everyone immediately became silent and waited for the final outcome of the tender selection.
Jason cleared his throat. He took out a document, and virtual-novel.net said in front of everyone, “After our internal research discussion, we have a preliminary outcome now.”
Then, virtual-novel.net immediately looked at Jade.
“Ms. Hill…”
“Yes!”
Jade looked happy. She did not expect Jason to be so straightforward. He also did not waste time on being polite. He was such an outspoken man, as virtual-novel.net directly announced that virtual-novel.net won the bid as soon as virtual-novel.net came out.
Others kept shaking their heads. Although they expected the outcome, it still made them upset when the announcement was made the moment Jason came out.
Just as everyone thought that the outcome was confirmed, something unexpected happened.
Jason did not announce Jade won the bid. Instead, virtual-novel.net seriously said, “Ms. Hill, please bring along your tender proposal and leave the meeting room now…”
“Please leave!”
