“The nerves that Jennifer has! Out of more than a hundred businesses, she's the first to ask for more funding.”
“It's understandable. She hasn't been the CEO long enough, after all.
Obviously, she's not a visionary.”
“Mm. She probably wouldn't understand anything even if her bid for the construction project of Lord Campbell Avenue is successful.”
The crowd discussed among themselves.
Jennifer instantly felt alone and helpless since Sylvia had made a fool out of her.
“You're bidding for the project through Jennard Construction. Does the company have any relations with the Wilson family of Tayhaven?” Donald spoke once again.
There was not a shred of emotion in Donald’s voice, so no one could figure out what the man was thinking.
Sylvia was the first to answer once again. She hurriedly clarified the relationship. “It has no ties with the Wilson family of Tayhaven. Lord Campbell, I swear that Jennard Construction has nothing to do with the Wilson family of Tayhaven. It is an independent company!”
Donald did not respond. He simply examined the materials calmly.
After quite some time, he stated casually, “All right. Jennard Construction’s bid is successful. Make the necessary preparations. We'll sign the contract tomorrow and commence the construction within three days.”
As soon as the words came out of Donald's mouth, the entire hall went silent all of a sudden.
Jennifer's eyes widened. She found it hard to believe what she had heard while looking at the blurry silhouette behind the screen in the office.
Everyone was stunned and thought that they had heard wrong. Then, the entire place became uproarious.
They were confused as to what was happening.
Timothy and the Campbell clan, who gave such huge price reductions, had been rejected. They wondered how a small company that had asked for more funding could win the bid.
Everyone knew what more funding meant.
It meant that a great number of profits and riches could be made. The project, which had a cost of one billion, could go up to one and a half billion. This meant that the bidding amount was one billion. As long as Jennifer knew how to do the accounts, she could take one and a half billion from Donald's hands in the future.
