I brought Chen Yuan back to the group's headquarters, which immediately caused an uproar. The most angry is Zhou Lu, she even thinks that I brought back a misfortune.

In desperation, I made an appointment to meet Chen Yuan's father, Chen Dabao. I haven't seen him for a few months, and this person seems to be much older. In a more elegant teahouse, I sat down face to face with Chen Dabao.

"Zhou Ran, why did you make an appointment to meet the old man? In my impression, I don't have any business dealings with you. Besides, I'm in an alliance with Sun Zhentian now, so you'd better not see me. lest the Sun father and son have unnecessary misunderstandings about me. Chen Dabao's tone was very cold, and he didn't seem to want to see me.

"Mr. Chen, I just asked you to tell you about your daughter Chen Yuan. The police have already admitted that they only misjudged Chen Yuan because of a momentary negligence. So now that her reputation and freedom have been restored, I hope you will be able to take her back. "I said it extremely seriously, Chen Dabao is Chen Yuan's father after all, and he will never ignore Chen Yuan.

"Zhou Ran, do you think this has anything to do with us? If she hadn't offended Sun Shao in the first place, would there have been so many things? I can even tell you that those * were arranged by Sun Shao to be put in your trunk. But what can be done? The Sun Group is still standing tall in Qingcheng, and it is dominant. Is it something you provoked, or you should solve it yourself!" Chen Dabao actually pushed Chen Yuan directly to me.

"Mr. Chen, you said this, it's too far-fetched, isn't it! Why is this what I provoked?" I said angrily.

"Zhou Ran, don't think everyone is a fool. What were you doing the night before Xiaoyuan's wedding? What was she thinking in her heart, don't I, as a father, know? The reason why I did this was just to fulfill one of her wishes. His brother is a man who forgets his righteousness, how can he care about his sister's life and death. I didn't take her home because I didn't want Sun Shao to harass her again. Zhou Ran, even if I beg you, help me take good care of Xiaoyuan, I don't want her to be dragged into this family battle. "Chen Dabao said helplessly, I don't know why he is so afraid of the Sun family.

"Mr. Chen, don't forget. At this time, Zhongcheng Group was already the biggest opponent of the Sun-Chen Alliance. Aren't you afraid that you will hurt Chen Yuan because of this?" I changed my tone and asked rhetorically.

"Zhou Ran, I have read countless people. You can still tell who is good and who is bad, so don't worry too much. Let Chen Yuan stay in your company for a few days, and then I will send her abroad. Qingrong Second City is nothing more than a place of right and wrong, and if she stays here, she will only be harmed. ”

There was no substantial progress in my appointment with Chen Dabao, but it made me feel that Chen Dabao was not a vicious person. Some of the behaviors were completely coerced by the Sun family. What handle he has in the hands of the Sun family, I can't find out. Chen Dabao categorically wouldn't tell me.

Because of the experience of the previous failure, Elle began to lobby around to advertise for Zhongcheng Group. A new round of bidding is finally about to be held, and several bidding companies are gearing up and eager to try.

The Sun-Chen alliance seemed to be strong, but it was defeated in the first round. Of course, this has a lot to do with the departure of their designer Ma Rui. James of Yatai Venture Capital thought that as long as the funds were abundant, everything was not settled. It's just that he ignores the perfect design of the project, which is the foundation of success.

Of course, this was only the first round of elimination, and it wasn't enough to make much of an impact on James. Ye Kaili and An Xuan still formed an alliance, but ultimately failed to become partners with Zhongcheng Group. If it weren't for Elle contacting me with the CEOs of several companies, I would have been fighting alone in this bidding meeting.

Wang Xinran was very disappointed with such a situation, and from beginning to end, she hoped that Ye Kaili, An Xuan and I could become the gold medal iron triangle. In the first round, although they had a slight advantage in terms of money, they were unbeatable in terms of design concepts. Zhongcheng Group has also received unanimous praise from the public.

The first hammer is finalized, and the next step is to test the qualifications and power of each bidder. Bidding was suspended today, allowing bidders to raise funds and of course come up with a perfect design in the second round of the semi-finals. That is, any bidder has a chance to turn the tables and win.

Elle has always been my strong backing and spiritual supporter, and Li Kai has worked tirelessly. The resulting design scheme is still the most successful set in the competition. He borrowed from the overall design scheme of Europe, highlighting more human culture in the overall urban planning.

Among them, several historic old buildings in the Old Town. Li Kai did not include them in the demolition project, but carried out reasonable repairs and protection. This is a unique idea among several other bidders.

That's the word that keeps popping through my mind. If the funds cannot be withdrawn within 7 to 10 days, the jury will automatically forfeit the bidding qualification.

It was a very demanding condition, and it was really difficult for me. Ellie, on the other hand, seemed very calm, as if she was still sure of victory. I really don't know where Elle got that much confidence.

In my office, Ellie talks to me about the bright future ahead.

Zhou Ran, in the future, the film and television building and film and television city of Company F will be built adjacent to the Yangtze River. When the time comes, you can see the rolling Yangtze River from the window, and you can overlook the new city of Rongcheng from the top of the towering building. Ellie's smile was so soft that she didn't even realize the anxiety in my heart at the moment.

In seven days, where did Zhongcheng Group get so many preparatory funds. What's more, every fourth quarter is a critical period for banks to collect their debts. Now it is impossible to get a loan from a bank.

"Ellie, I'm sorry. I'm exhausted. Or I may want to disappoint you, and the few companies that cooperate with Zhongcheng Group can only protect themselves at present, and they can't come up with a lot of funds from today. Now, even the most perfect design is like a non-existent one. I looked at Elle helplessly and said what was on my mind.

"Zhou Ran, your biggest weakness is your lack of self-confidence. Tonight, I'll take you to meet a few people. When you meet them, you feel like there's a lot to look forward to. "Elle and I left a suspense for me to figure out. I saw that Elle was full of confidence and didn't get to the bottom of it.

Or maybe I don't want to discourage Ellie. Even if the bid fails, Zhongcheng Group still has better transformation projects. That is Enron's online e-commerce, and Enron is currently in full swing for preliminary investigation. If nothing happens, you can come up with a perfect plan in about ten days. The most important thing is that Enron has solved the problem of upfront funding......
