As Wu Jue expected, the government did not directly cancel Lin Zheng's qualifications, but decided to re-tender.

But no matter what, Wei Hong has another chance.

The day before the bidding meeting, Wu Jue and Zhou Xing almost didn't sleep all night, and revised the originally prepared plan several times.

In fact, they didn't have the slightest confidence in the bidding, and in two weeks, although the government did not come forward, relying on Lin Zheng's own crisis public relations, the previous small turmoil had disappeared in Jiangcheng's public opinion.

In fact, a few days ago in the wonton shop, looking at the attitude of the proprietress towards Lin Jiahe, I knew that the residents of the urban village no longer had a grudge against Shengshi. In the past two days, there have also been media interviews in urban villages on TV, and all the people interviewed expressed their hope that the development of urban villages would be handed over to Lin Zheng.

After squinting casually in the office for two hours, Wu Jue washed up in the bathroom and covered his dark eye circles with foundation. Although makeup can hide her tired face, it can't hide the gloom in her eyes.

She looked at the person in the mirror and finally closed her eyes forcefully. It's really tired, why can't she get along with herself?

She rubbed her sore temples, pulled a vial out of her handbag, poured out two white pills, and swallowed them dry. After a long time, the aching forehead was relieved a little.

"How are you?" When she went out to get into the car, Zhou Xing still asked her uneasily.

She shook her head: "I just didn't sleep well at night." ”

"Oh." Zhou Xing nodded suddenly, "It's okay, don't worry too much, even if it doesn't work out this time." There are other opportunities. ”

Wu Jue closed his eyes and leaned on his seat, and responded perfunctorily. Don't care? How can you not care?

She really didn't want to indulge in this cycle all the time, failing, wavering, giving up, continuing, and failing again. If it goes on like this, Lin Jiahe will be stationed in her life like a spell, she can't love it, but she doesn't hate it completely, only by completing even one successful ceremony and doing a bad thing to Lin Jiahe, can she really get out of this matter, and without Lin Jiahe, she can also let go of her guilt and concern for Shen Tong and clear the magic obstacles in her heart.

The venue of the tender meeting is still the same hotel conference hall as last time. The two most important companies in the bidding are still the leading Shengshi and Wei Hong in Jiangcheng.

The only difference is that last time Wu Jue's identity was Lin Zheng's representative, but this time he became Wei Hong. Strangely, the media never seems to have noticed her transformation from a staff member of the prosperous world to the fiancée and special assistant of President Wei Hong.

This was supposed to be an interesting topic of gossip, but apparently Sheng Shi and Wei Hong were very unanimous in blocking the news. What's more, she was just an ordinary woman with no background.

Compared with Wei Honghao's mighty six or seven people, there are not many representatives in Shengshi who come to participate in the bidding meeting, and it is still Lin Jiahe who personally goes out, plus a Cheng Yuzheng and a secretary.

Both companies sat in the front row, and when they were in place, the two teams passed by, Lin Jiahe looked deeply at Wu Jue, who was expressionless, his lips started slightly, as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he sat down in his seat without saying anything. Cheng Yuzheng, who was walking behind, frowned and glanced at her inexplicably, and turned his head away with some righteous indignation.

Wei Hong's plan was originally done very well, and at the last bidding meeting, Lin Jiahe also praised their plan. What's more, after this period of improvement, it can be called perfect.

Zhou Xing personally took the stage to demonstrate, and other soy sauce bidders and various media in the audience all showed applauding expressions, but there has never been the best in this world, only better.

By the time Lin Jiahe came to power, everyone realized this truth.

His demonstration was not as complicated as Wei Hong's, concise and to the point, but it was comprehensive, and most importantly, everyone could hear that there was some kind of emotion in this plan that could not be ignored, and there were no sensational words, which also touched the people present.

Of course, the people present did not include Zhou Xing and Wu Jue.

When Lin Jiahe was about to end and the applause of the audience rang out, Wu Jue heard Zhou Xing next to him cursing in a low voice, which was a signal to admit defeat.

It's just that the applause fell, and Lin Jiahe, who was standing on the stage, suddenly stopped, looking at it from a distance of a few meters, his face was still a little indifferent and expressionless, but there was some kind of undercurrent hidden in those deep eyes.

The moment Wu Jue looked back at him, somehow, his heart suddenly jumped, not a hunch, but almost certain that something would happen next.

Sure enough, I saw Lin Jiahe retract his gaze at her, looked at the field from afar, and said unhurriedly: "For personal reasons, Lin Zheng is very interested in the urban village project, but based on various conditions, I think Wei Hong is more suitable to be in charge of this project." Therefore, I am here to announce that Lin Zheng is withdrawing from the bidding for urban villages and fully recommends Wei Hong for this project. ”

When he said this, there was an immediate commotion in the audience. The media reporters present suddenly became excited, and the magnesium lights flashed as if out of control.

For a moment, Wu Jue looked at the person on the stage from afar, and felt that the face was slightly distorted under the reflection of the light.

Zhou Xing raised his head and looked at Lin Jiahe in surprise, the curse that he hadn't swallowed just now was stuck in his throat, and it was veritable like a fish in his throat.

"Mr. Lin, the outside world is rumoring that the urban village project is in Lin Zheng's bag, why did he suddenly give up? Is there something unspeakable? The reporter who reacted began to ask questions cracklingly.

"Lin Zheng and Wei Hong have been competing for so many years, why did Lin Zheng give this project to Wei Hong. Can Mr. Lin answer for us? ”

……

Fortunately, the media at the bidding meeting are all mainstream media, and the order is not chaotic.

Lin Jiahe smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, shook his head noncommittally, and did not answer any reporter's questions. However, just when everyone thought that he was going to step down, he suddenly looked at the position of Wei Hong's representative, or rather, at Wu Jue, and then opened his lips slightly, and said unhurriedly: "I hope Wei Hong will make the urban village better." ”

At the end of the bidding meeting, Zhou Xing pulled Wu Jue to break through the reporter who was questioning, and hurriedly got into the car.

"Why do you say Lin Jiahe did this?" He seemed to have finally recovered from the shock at the venue, as if he was asking Wu Jue, and as if he was talking to himself, "Is it really because of guilt that you want to make up for it in this way?" ”

"I didn't expect him to do that." I have to admit that Wu Jue's heart is a little messy. She would rather Lin Jiahe still be indifferent and impersonal, but such a big project, even a project related to Lin Zhengjiangcheng's future, how could he just let it go?

Thinking, messing around. She suddenly opened the car door, rushed out of the crowd, and ran to a black luxury car that was about to accelerate. The car shook violently, braked suddenly, and the driver opened the window, roughly thinking that it was a reporter from some media, and shouted angrily: "Don't die!" ”

Wu Jue ignored him, went directly to the back seat of the car, and slapped the closed window. The window didn't come down, but the door opened, and a strong hand reached out from inside, pulling her into the back seat.

"Drive." Lin Jiahe whispered to the stunned driver.

"Why are you doing that?" Wu Jue's eyes looked straight at him.

He frowned imperceptibly, turned his head away slowly, and his cold lips seemed to open casually: "Since you want it, I'll give it to you." If that makes you happy, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

It's obviously a almost humble word, but when it comes out of his mouth, there is still a taste of neither humility nor arrogance.

"Don't think that this is the case that I will forgive you." Wu Jue didn't know when he even spoke, and even when he spoke, he became so unreasonable.

Fortunately, Lin Jiahe, as if he understood, nodded: "I know." You will never forgive me. But at least I want you to be a little happier. ”

"Lin Jiahe." After a moment of silence, Wu Jue suddenly sneered, "You know what? The more you are like this, the more I hate you. ”

Lin Jiahe, who was originally a little indifferent, finally raised his head, there was obvious confusion in his eyes, and he did ask: "Why?" ”

"Because I hate it," she said. ”

He replied: "There is no war between us. ”

The car finally drove a long way, and there was no trace of the reporter for a long time. Wu Jue motioned for the driver to stop, she opened the door and stepped out of the car, and the moment she closed the door, she sneered and said to the people in the car: "You will regret it." ”

With that, he slammed the door shut.

A month later, Wei Hong officially took over the urban village project from the government.

Zhou Xing's idea is actually very simple, take the urban village project, expand Wei Hong's influence in Jiangcheng, and then swallow the prosperous whale step by step.

So his idea is to take his time and not rush everything in a hurry. For Lin Jiahe, compared to Wu Jue, he is actually more rational, Shen Tong's death, in the final analysis, Lin Jiahe is not wrong, if it were him, he might do the same. It's not so much hating Lin Jiahe, it's more accurate to say resentment and hate.

However, Wu Jue is different. She wanted to win the urban village project, but it was because of the significance of the urban village to Lin Jiahe. She didn't care how much benefit and reputation Wei Hong would win.

Yes, she has dark thoughts in her heart that she doesn't even know about Zhou Xing, and the only thing she thinks about is to make the urban village become an unfamiliar appearance for Lin Jiahe, and a way that is completely different from his original intention, so that he can watch the things he cares about being destroyed, and his best memories will be lost.

But apparently, her idea was very difficult to implement. The development of urban villages will begin in full view of the whole Jiangcheng City, and Zhou Xing's idea is very simple, that is, to build the urban villages into new coordinates that can not only be profitable, but also serve as a cultural symbol of Jiangcheng. Wei Hong's plan may not be as idealistic as Shengshi, but it also highlights the two points of inheritance and protection, and the concept will never deviate.

This is the second time she has come to Mayor Ye's home.

Frankly speaking, Wu Jue doesn't like to deal with this kind of officialdom very much, most of the people who have been immersed in officialdom for too long are sleek and sophisticated, and unfathomable. This Mayor Ye, in her opinion, is a typical type of person who hides a knife in a smile.

For some reason, every time he looked at her, it seemed to have some ill-intentioned playfulness.

She didn't like it very much.

"Zhou Xing, I came to you today, and it's still the project in the urban village. Recently, there will be a crackdown campaign in the city. The security in the urban village has been very poor, and the judiciary is ready to make it the focus of the crackdown. ”

Zhou Xing was a little stunned. Obviously I don't understand why it's like this.

Mayor Ye raised his hand and signaled him to finish listening first: "You don't have to worry about the progress of the development of urban villages, the strike hard is a surprise attack, and it will end soon." Moreover, this crackdown will only bring benefits to Wei Hong's development of urban villages. ”

"If that's the case, I don't have anything to worry about. Wei Hong will fully cooperate with your work, Uncle Ye. ”

"But what about ......" Mayor Ye interrupted him and paused for a moment, "After this crackdown, I need Wei Hong to make some adjustments to the previous plan." Of course, this adjustment will definitely not harm Wei Hong's interests. I knew that Miss Wu was very familiar with the project, so I sent some specific requirements of the plan to Miss Wu later, when the crackdown was over. Zhou Xing, you can see it, right? ”

Zhou Xing nodded again and again: "This is the best." This plot Wu Jue is more familiar than me, and it is better for you to order her directly. ”

Wu Jue, who had been silent for a long time, also smiled: "Uncle Ye can trust me, it is an honor for the younger generation." ”

After walking out of the Ye family's mansion and getting into the car, Wu Jue finally couldn't help but say to Zhou Xing: "Do you think this Mayor Ye is a little strange?" ”

Zhou Xing snorted and turned his head to look at her: "You mean on the project of urban villages?" ”

Wu Jue nodded: "I always feel that his attitude in this matter is a bit strange. ”

"There's some truth to your suspicions." Zhou Xing frowned and looked at the road conditions, "It's only been two years since I returned to Zhou's house, so I've only known this Mayor Ye for so long." How to say it, his reputation is not bad, or his face project is doing well, and the people of Jiangcheng should be very satisfied with this parent official. But I heard my grandfather tell me before his death that this person is very deep in the city, and the officialdom has been in the official for many years, and it is definitely not as clean as it seems. Although Wei Hong is now in charge, the investment of billions or even tens of billions of yuan is not something that Wei Hong can complete alone, and many investors will come in later. And most of these investment promotion are the responsibility of the government, you can imagine how deep the water is. ”

"Then what if there is something out of Wei Hong's control?"

"Don't worry about that. Rich does not fight with officials, and everyone is mutually beneficial, I think Ye Lao Fox will not be full and have nothing to do, so he pushed Wei Hong into the fire pit. As long as it doesn't harm Wei Hong's interests, I can follow him in whatever he wants. ”

Hearing him say this, for some reason, Wu Jue was relieved.
