<h4>Chapter 367</h4>


    After the results came out.


    Luo Si did not believe it at all.


    She was somewhat excited.


    ording to reason, An''s bid for the project this time would definitely not fail.


    The n and price had been pushed to the extreme.


    If it failed like this, the only exnation was that there was inside information involved.


    At that moment, she saw An Nuan stand up from her seat and ask very respectfully, "You just announced that our An''spany scored 5 points less than Gu''spany and lost the bid. I''m very curious where exactly An''spany fell short?"


    Everyone present also looked at An Nuan.


    They didn''t expect that An Nuan would directly ask about it on the spot.


    Most people would be embarrassed beyond words in this situation, but An Nuan lookedpletelyposed.


    Gu YanXuan gave a coldugh and said sarcastically, "What''s wrong, still not convinced?"


    "That''s not it," An Nuan turned her head to look at Gu YanXuan, "Of course I admit defeat fair and square, I just want to know where exactly An''spany fell short so I can learn from it."


    "Huh," Gu YanXuanughed disdainfully.


    She knew her brother could not possibly lose to someone like An Nuan.


    Sooner orter, their family would ruin this woman!


    "Is that okay?" An Nuan asked the staff member.


    The staff discussed it.


    A person in charge stood up and said, "In the interest of fairness, we are also willing to announce the detailed scores of each bidding proposal. If the other three groups have no objection, I won''t go over them individually here. Since An''spany really wants to know where they lost points, I''ll inform them of the areas they lost points. Actually we felt the proposals from both An''spany and Gu''spany were eye-opening, and the two proposals even had simrities in their creative elements, it was very difficult for us to determine a clear winner. As for why An''spany ultimately scored 95 points while Gu''spany scored 100 points, it was mainly the quoted price that made the difference."


    An Nuan already knew Gu Yan Sheng must have manipted the pricing.


    "An''spany quoted 10 billion, while Gu''spany quoted 9.9 billion. The 1 billion difference resulted in a 5 point deduction for An''spany," the person in charge said bluntly.


    An Nuan nodded slightly.


    At that moment she also looked towards Gu''s group, and said to Gu WenQuan, "When An''spany gave our quoted price, we had already minimized the profit margin, operating on the principle of building the city''s infrastructure to support public welfare undertakings, basically not intending to profit from this project at all. Yet I didn''t expect Gu''spany was still able to quote an even lower price."


    "Why can''t our Gu''spany have the same idea if that was your intention?" Gu WenQuan stood up from his seat, "We also didn''t n to profit from this project, so we put forth the minimum cost for construction! As a native of Qing City, there''s nothing wrong with building our own hometown."


    An Nuan smiled, which served as acknowledgement of Gu WenQuan''s reply.


    She didn''t say anything more.


    The bidding meeting ended.


    An Nuan brought Luo Si and An Hao out.


    An Hao secretly rejoiced to himself. Of course he saw everything clearly.


    Yet he pretended as if nothing was discovered.


    The three of them walked out of the nning hall entrance.


    At the entrance, Gu''s family was surrounded by reporters.


    Apparently the bidding results had already been leaked to the media, and everyone wanted to interview to get thetest news.


    As An Nuan walked by, she heard Gu WenYuan say to the reporters, "Gu''spany being able to win the Nanwan New City project is truly a pleasant surprise for us. We didn''t expect that we would actually defeat An''spany and secure the project. An''spany is the benchmark for the construction industry after all. This sess really caught me by surprise."


    His words sounded very sincere on the surface, but were actually deliberately mocking An''spany''s ipetence, saying that even a neer like himself could defeat them, how could they still call themselves the industry benchmark.


    "Although it''s a surprise, it''s notpletely unexpected either. For this project, our Gu''spany worked 7 days a week, putting in overtime everyday, the project team worked overnight frequently just toe up with the best design n. So effort will always be rewarded, all the hard work we put in has finally paid off with the results we wanted!"


    The implication was that An''spany did not put their full effort into this matter, which was why they lost the bid.


    "Our quoted price this time was also exceptionally low. Gu''spany has always been dedicated to public welfare undertakings and building our hometown. Gu''spany truly had no choice but to take on this project..."


    An Nuan walked past them, expressionless.


    Even someone as stoic as Luo Si couldn''t help feeling irritated hearing Gu WenQuan''s words.


    It was clearly adding insult to injury.


    But seeing that An Nuan had no reaction, she could only follow her and leave.


    Sitting in the car.


    Luo Si really couldn''t stand it anymore. "What''s so great about Gu WenQuan?! Just because he won the bid, does he have to be so arrogant? What was the meaning of everything he said to the media just now? Even if he seeded, he shouldn''t trample on others like that!"


    An Nuan did not respond.


    An Hao was happy on the side.


    Everything had gone much more smoothly than he expected.


    Initially he still feared An Nuan somewhat, worried that the truth would be exposed.


    But now it seemed An Nuan was nothing to fuss over.


    After Luo Siined angrily for a bit and saw that An Nuan had no reaction, she gradually kept quiet as well.


    She also knew An Nuan must be feeling awful inside, so she didn''t want to add to her troubles.


    The car arrived at thepany.


    An Nuan returned to her office.


    An Hao also returned to his own office.


    As soon as he returned, he couldn''t restrain his eager mood and hurriedly dialed Gu Yan Sheng''s number, "Sess!"


    Gu Yan Sheng had naturally already received this news long ago.


    At this time, his mood was naturally excellent.


    "You''re really more capable. If it wasn''t for your idea, An Nuan would have seeded again! Just thinking about her unting arrogantly after her sess made me angry! Now things are good, let''s see how An Nuan exins this to the board. They all determined that victory was certain for this project, now that they''ve failed, I''m ted just imagining it!" An Hao made no attempt to conceal his delight.


    "Just this bit of ability?" Gu Yan Sheng said mockingly, "This is just a drizzle. As long as you cooperate well with me, I''ll hand all of An''spany over to you in due time."


    "Really?!" An Hao was already brimming with excitement.


    Gu Yan Sheng regarded him with a trace of contempt.


    It was an innate sense of superiority, looking down on everyone.


    In the time prior, because of An Nuan''s suppression, coupled suddenly with Ye JingHuai''s rising limelight that truly made him lose confidence for a period, but in this moment, his confidence was in full force!


    "Of course it''s true," Gu Yan Sheng said indifferently, "No more to say, I''m busy with other things. Don''t show too much happiness to make people notice anything."


    "Okay."


    Gu Yan Sheng hung up the phone.


    The smugness on his face made no attempt at concealment.


    Just thinking about An Nuan''s embarrassment today already made him extremely ted.


    He thought for a bit, then called An Nuan.
