Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 544: A High Chance Of Winning The Bid

He Xiaoman pursed her lips. “She acted recklessly and disgraced the family... Never mind. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Is my husband back yet?”

The butler nodded. “He is already home and seems to be in a mighty good mood.”

A look of surprise emerged on He Xiaoman’s well made-up face. “A good mood?”

The company had been busy working on the bid and her husband was worried almost every single day.

The family had been working hard to advance in the real estate industry. The old city district was due for some remodeling, so their company had been working day and night for almost six months on this bid. Now they had finally reached the crucial stages of the bid and were waiting for the authorities to get back to them.

“Uh huh. Maybe he received some good news.” The butler nodded. He was unaware of what went on in the company. He had simply observed that Mr. Lu was in a good mood.

The moment He Xiaoman heard this, she quickly took her purse and walked into the villa. The butler followed behind her.

Her husband sat on the couch in the living room and smiled while speaking on the phone. Anyone could tell that he was in a good mood judging from the smug look on his face.

He Xiaoman put her purse by the side and listened to his conversation while she quietly sat beside him. After he hung up the phone, she asked him. “Who were you talking to?

Her husband placed his phone on the coffee table before he leaned into the couch leisurely and crossed his legs. He turned to look at He Xiaoman. “Just a friend I made in the business world. They seem to think that we might win the bid, so a lot of people have been calling me recently to ask about it.”

He Xiaoman looked delighted. “The bid? Did we make it?”

If they won the bid, Lu Corporation would rise in the ranks to become one of the top ten businesses in this city. The Lu family would also gain more respect in high society.

Just the thought of it made her excited.

Her husband took a glass of water from the butler and slowly took a sip before he said, “Although the authorities haven’t come to a decision yet, we will probably win the bid.”

Despite her joy, He Xiaoman recalled a matter and asked him. “Didn’t I hear you saying that we had a low chance of winning the bid? What happened? Why did things suddenly work out?”

Lu Xia came downstairs after she changed into her homewear to see her parents chatting in the living room. She paused briefly before she headed to the side and poured herself a glass of warm water.

He Xiaoman’s husband felt puzzled by their success as well and said, “My contact working for the government told me that his superior was very strict about selection when we first put the bid in, so the moment they detect any failings, we will get eliminated. Also, our company is new in the real estate industry and lacks edge over the other companies.”

He paused before he added. “Strangely, my contact said his boss seemed rather interested in our company and asked if I was acquainted with the mayor’s secretary. If I was acquainted with him, Lu Corporation would have ended up a lot bigger.”

He sighed as he spoke.

He Xiaoman’s eyes gleamed. “The mayor’s secretary? Was he the one who took interest in Lu Corporation?”

“Probably.” He nodded. “But I don’t know him and I have never met him before, either, so this is quite strange.”
