CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 679: ELECTION LOSS 2 (SECOND UPDATE)

"You better tell that to yourself. The goods your Qihe Group produces are of poor quality and ridiculously expensive. You still want to win the bid? Dream on."

Sun Li retorted unceremoniously.

"What did you say!"

Wu Xiaoli was so angry she was grinding her teeth, and she stepped forward.

Su Mo quickly separated the two, smiling and advising, "Calm down, ma’am, don’t stoop to our level."

"Who’s a ma’am."

Wu Xiaoli was like a firecracker, igniting in an instant and shouting loudly.

All eyes around turned to look.

"Hmph, don’t be too proud. You’ll be crying soon enough."

Wu Xiaoli’s face turned blue and red alternately. She stomped her foot hard, left a harsh comment, and quickly left.

"Sister Xue, don’t bother with people like that. You’re the only one who would bother to deal with her. If it were me, I’d slap her every time she appeared in front of me."

Sun Li disdainfully told Qian Chengxue.

"Alright, calm down, it’s okay."

Qian Chengxue comforted Sun Li in turn, knowing Sun Li was standing up for her.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "Look, it’s starting to announce!"

They saw a holographic display inside the main hall on the first floor, starting to publish the bidding results.

Procurement Project Number DD01: Long-Range Optical Distance Missile (200 million Star Coins), winner Martial God Heavy Industry (Lin Family)

Procurement Project Number CSW-03: Comprehensive Pharmaceutical (130 million Star Coins), winner Senye Group (Xiao Family)

Procurement Project Number DD02: Medium-Range Letter Missile (300 million Star Coins), winner Okitor Group.

...

"I won! Haha!"

"I won too, I’m rich!"

"Why didn’t I win? My goods were clearly so good."

....

As the announcement results appeared, the crowd at the scene exploded.

Some people had faces full of ecstasy, while others looked as if they had lost their father.

Some even lost their cool and cursed out loud on the scene.

"What kind of crappy result is this? I’m not convinced."

.....

Su Mo and the others quickly looked down and found the bid they had submitted yesterday.

Procurement Project Number YSD-01: Military Medical Defense Supplies (50 million Star Coins), winner Qihe Group.

Seeing the published result, Sun Li and Tang Yao were dumbfounded.

"How is that possible?"

Qian Chengxue also frowned slightly; she was surprised by this result.

Actually, this small bid shouldn’t have had any issues under normal circumstances.

Su Mo, seeing this result, felt a sinking feeling in his heart, with a vague sense of foreboding.

But he still smiled and comforted Qian Chengxue, "It’s okay, this bid didn’t have much in it; occasional mistakes are normal. We’ll get the next one."

"No, it was supposed to be a sure thing. How could it not be selected? Could someone have been operating in the shadows?"

Sun Li shook her head and said.

"Don’t talk carelessly."

Qian Chengxue’s expression shifted slightly and she softly stopped Sun Li.

Sun Li quickly covered her mouth.

Qian Chengxue said solemnly, "All the goods for this bid were designated by the front line. Only the best and optimal are wanted, who would dare meddle?"

"True, maybe Qihe Group just got lucky, don’t get discouraged, there’s more to come."

Su Mo found Qian Chengxue’s words quite reasonable.

"Su Mo is right, don’t take it too much to heart. Let’s go upstairs and continue with the second bid."

Qian Chengxue said calmly.

"Okay."

Sun Li and Tang Yao snapped back to reality and quickly responded.

They quickly headed for the elevator to go to the 17th floor to bid.

Not long after, they arrived on the 17th floor. Since most people were on the 1st floor looking at the announcement results, the 17th floor seemed somewhat deserted.

Qian Chengxue stepped forward to submit the bid documents at the designated window.

After they completed the procedures.

They saw Wu Xiaoli approaching with a smug expression on her face.

"Don’t bother bidding. Let me tell you this: as long as our Qihe Group is around, your bidding is in vain."

"You’ve only won a little bit, what’s there to gloat about? Who’s to say who’ll ultimately win or lose."

Sun Li retorted unceremoniously.

"Won’t cry until you’ve seen the coffin, let’s see tomorrow."

Wu Xiaoli said with great pride.

Sun Li was about to retort, but Qian Chengxue stopped her, saying, "Sun Li, don’t say anything. Let’s go back first."

"Alright."

Sun Li was unwilling but had to swallow her words.

Before long, Su Mo and the others returned to the company, and Zhao Han and others couldn’t wait to gather around.

"Sister Xue, how did it go, did we win?"

"We had a minor issue and didn’t win, but don’t be discouraged, this was just testing the waters. We need to believe in ourselves."

Qian Chengxue looked at the expectant faces. Although she felt a bit upset inside, she responded calmly.

She knew very well how much effort everyone had put into this bidding.

Hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, the eager expressions of those present momentarily stiffened, unsure of what to say.

Su Mo coughed and said, "Everyone, don’t worry. Since Sister Xue says there’s no problem, then there’s no problem. When has Sister Xue ever let you down?"

"Right, if Sister Xue says there’s no problem, then there’s no problem."

Zhao Han quickly chimed in.

"Yes, yes...."

The sisters present echoed in agreement.

Qian Chengxue coughed once and then said to everyone, "No need to gather here. Go do what you need to do. I’ll head up to my office."

"Okay."

Everyone quickly responded.

Qian Chengxue then walked towards the third floor, with Su Mo hurriedly following her.

Not long after, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue arrived at the office.

Qian Chengxue picked up her copy of the bid documents and kept flipping through them, carefully searching for any issues.

Su Mo reached out to press Qian Chengxue’s hand, comforting her by saying, "Don’t worry, one mishap doesn’t mean anything."

Qian Chengxue sighed slightly, then looked up at Su Mo and nodded, "I know."

Su Mo replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, we’ll definitely win the next bid."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Qian Chengxue also felt confident.

Early the next morning, Su Mo and the others once again arrived at the Federation Building very early.

The lobby was still bustling with people.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

It’s known that the Federation rarely offers such large-scale public projects. Missing this opportunity is equivalent to losing a chance to leap forward like a carp jumping over the dragon’s gate.

Sun Li swallowed hard, saying to Tang Yao.

"Tang Yao, why do my hands feel a bit shaky?"

"It’s okay, don’t be nervous. There won’t be any problems this time."

Tang Yao said this but wasn’t very confident either.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue remained calm, continuously watching the holographic display screen for the announcement.

As time passed by seconds, more and more people gathered in the lobby.

Finally, the second round of announcements appeared again.

A series of winning company names rolled across the screen.

The scene was filled with excited shouts.

"We won!"

"We did it!"
