226 Winning The Bid

Very quickly, the host announced the results, “The winning bid goes to Wang Zetian!”

Wang Zetian was so excited that he jumped for joy. His hard work over the past few days had paid off!

When Wang Lin heard that it was Wang Zetian who won, he left with an ugly expression.

Wang Lin made a gesture and his secretary, Xiao Li, immediately called Zhao Qiang. Xiao Li said, “Hello, Vice President Zhao. You did not pass Chairman Wang’s test. From now on, you are to stop all communication with Ms. Wang Ke’er.”

“I’ll give him an explanation for this soon,” said Zhao Qiang.

When Wang Lin went downstairs, he saw Wang Ke’er and Zhao Qiang waiting for him.

Seeing the two of them, Wang Lin did not even look at Zhao Qiang. Instead, he waved at Wang Ke’er and said, “Ke er, come here.”

Wang Ke’er was not close to her father, but in order to not make things worse, she pretended to be close and clutched her father’s arm.

Wang Lin was startled for a moment, but he quickly reacted by revealing a smile.

Perhaps it was because Wang Ke’er felt so pampered in her intimate relationship that she became much gentler than before.

“Chairman Wang, I saw Mr. Wang’s bidding document in advance,” said Zhao Qiang. “To keep things fair, I did not perform the adjudication. Mr. Wang was able to win the bid because of his own strength.”

This was exactly what Wang Lin wanted to hear. After all, who would not want to hear others say that their son was great?

“Let’s get in the car,” Wang Lin said.

Wang Ke’er and Wang Lin sat in the back, and Zhao Qiang sat in the front passenger seat.

Wang Lin said, “I asked you to ruin Wang Zetian’s chances of winning the bid because I want him to return to Wang Corporation and give him a step up. I’m also willing to give money to Yao Corporation to make up for the difference. Why are you unwilling to cooperate?”

Wang Ke’er raised her right hand like an obedient child. She said, “I have something to say.”

Wang Lin thought that his daughter was very cute today. Normally, she was very well-behaved, so it was rare for her to be so lively. He said, “Go ahead.”

Wang Ke’er said, “This was all my idea, dad. You don’t know this, but Zetian has been working very hard for this project. He personally went and did the networking by himself until midnight. He really wanted to prove himself.”

Wang Lin said, “He refused to do what is expected of a young master, and instead chose to go drinking with others? What a disgrace.”

Wang Ke’er said, “Father, I didn’t understand you in the past, but I’m beginning to. It was Zhao Qiang who made me understand that people from the older generation like you are all hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. You’re obviously afraid that Zetian will suffer, but you always say those mean things.”

Wang Lin did not deny it and only let out a cold snort.

Wang Ke’er looked at Wang Lin’s expression and did not see anything out of the ordinary. She continued, “Zhao Qiang told me that Zetian’s team isn’t very stable, but at this time, it’s useless to say anything to him. We can only wait for him to find the problem himself.”

Wang Lin was a bit surprised. Wang Lin had never talked about Wang Zetian’s team to Zhao Qiang, and yet this vice president could already tell.

“By the time your brother finds out, it’ll be too late. Not only will his company be finished, but he’ll also be digging a hole for Yao Corporation,” Wang Lin said.

Wang Ke’er continued, “Father, you’re so smart when it comes to business, but when it comes to family matters, how can you be so stupid? It’s time for you to make an appearance, turn the tables and show the power of our family… And some fatherly love! By then, wouldn’t Zetian want to home obediently? I’m afraid even I would want to go back to work at Wang Corporation!”

Wang Lin looked at his daughter and said, “You’re good with words. Did Zhao Qiang teach you to say that?”

Wang Ke’er immediately shook her head and said, “No, these are my own thoughts. I held back from telling you because… I’m a little afraid of you.”

“Really?” Wang Lin asked. “So you’re not afraid of me now?”

Wang Ke’er laughed. “I’m still afraid. But if you get angry and kick me out of the house, I can just let Zhao Qiang take care of me, and spoil me silly.”

Wang Lin’s face suddenly became gloomy. He said, “Impossible! How can my daughter be raised by someone else?”

After a moment, Wang Lin suddenly realized something and said, “If Zhao Qiang is willing, you can go ahead. Not everyone gets such an opportunity.”

“It shall be my honor!” Zhao Qiang said, taking advantage of the opportunity. “I definitely won’t let you and Ke’er down.”

Wang Lin nodded. “Alright, you pass for today. Come to my home with Ke’er this weekend.”

Without waiting for Zhao Qiang to say anything, Wang Lin then said, “I still want to talk to Ke’er, you may leave first.”

“Alright, uncle,” said Zhao Qiang. “I shall take my leave, and I’ll pay you a formal visit this weekend.”
