Wang Yanzhang observed the subtle changes in Xiao Wencheng's expressions with great satisfaction.

"Xiao Wencheng, I can't be bothered to argue with you anymore; you've already lost the right to compete with me."

"If you still refuse to give up, then just keep hanging around here. In the end, you'll leave disgraced."

"The outcome is already determined; you can't change reality! Hahaha..."

Wang Yanzhang mocked him as he walked away.

The contractors were all shrewd people; they saw everything that had happened.

They quickly realized that Xiao Wencheng was out of the running, and Wang Yanzhang was the final winner.

No need to hesitate, they hurried to flatter Wang Yanzhang, hoping to snag some small outsourcing projects and earn some benefits.

"President Wang, if Tianding Company wins, don't forget to give a little support to your old pal, haha."

"What do you mean 'if'? I think it's 100% sure Tianding Company will win!"

"That's a must! President Wang is a legend, the leader of the construction industry in Jingnan City! The true trailblazer!"

"Who can compete with President Wang? The city construction project is definitely landing in Tianding Company's hands, without a shred of doubt!"

Many contractors surrounded Wang Yanzhang, constantly showering him with compliments and eager flattery.

Wang Yanzhang reveled in the feeling of being adored by everyone, feeling quite exalted.

He didn't forget to glance mockingly at Xiao Wencheng, almost losing himself in his arrogance.

Aside from his family, no contractors came to flatter Xiao Wencheng, making the scene particularly desolate for him.

Zhang Hui suddenly lost her cool, glaring at Chen Xuan, "What did you say to us yesterday? Didn't you say everything was settled, and now this?"

"Yeah, brother-in-law, didn't you say Director Li agreed to let my dad handle the project? Judging by Director Liu's demeanor... it doesn't seem like it!"

Xiao Dongshan also looked at Chen Xuan with hesitation.

"Could it really be an unexpected turn?" Xiao Wencheng asked worriedly, looking at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan remained calm, "Don't worry, Director Li already agreed with me yesterday, there won't be any surprises."

"You always act so confident, I truly doubt whether you met Director Li yesterday!"

Zhang Hui glared coldly, "Chen Xuan, if you dare to lie and make us lose face here today, just see how I'll deal with you!"

"Mom, calm down first, don't just suspect Chen Xuan offhand."

Xiao Yiyi looked displeased, "The result hasn't been announced yet, who said Wang Yanzhang definitely won!"

"Then how do you explain Director Liu giving signals to Wang Yanzhang earlier?" Zhang Hui said sternly, "If Chen Xuan really met Director Li, how could he not give Director Liu a heads-up?"

"I suspect Chen Xuan is lying, he probably didn't meet Director Li at all!"

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "Aunt Zhang, I'm not in the mood to debate with you now, just one sentence."

"If this project ends up with Wang Yanzhang and not Uncle Xiao, I'll be the first to take down Li Hongsheng! No one dares toy with me!"

"You have the nerve!" Zhang Hui glared fiercely at Chen Xuan.

"Alright, everyone keep quiet, let's wait for the results." Xiao Wencheng said, waving his hand, feeling very uneasy.

Xiao Dongshan nervously muttered, "Hope there's no surprise!"

Xiao Yiyi pulled Chen Xuan aside and softly comforted, "Brother Xuan, don't blame my mom for her harsh words; she's just overly anxious and angry."

"Anyway, I trust you unconditionally. For my sake, don't be mad at my mom, alright?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "I understand, I won't be angry with Aunt Zhang."

"You trust me unconditionally, how could I let you down? Just watch, in the end your dad is sure to win!"

"Hmm." Xiao Yiyi smiled and nodded, not doubting Chen Xuan's words at all.

Meanwhile.

Inside the city construction department's conference room.

Director Liu spoke softly, "According to the bid reviews, the two companies that best meet our requirements are Tong'an and Tianding."

"Personally, I lean more towards Tianding Engineering Company. What are everyone else's thoughts?"

"Since Director Liu favors Tianding Company, we have no objections." The review committee members stated one after another.

Director Liu was very pleased; once he expressed his opinion, the review group members had to give him respect.

No one would dare to openly contradict and offend him.

However, just then, Li Hongsheng walked in.

"Director Li, what brings you here in person?" Director Liu quickly stood up to greet him.

"Just came to have a look."

Li Hongsheng gestured for everyone to sit down, "Director Liu, how's the bidding for the city construction project going?"

"Reporting to Director Li, after our review, we unanimously decided to let Tianding Company take on the city construction project." Director Liu responded with a smile.

Director Li shook his head, "I believe handing it to Tong'an Construction Company would be better; let's do it my way."

"The city construction project is a major undertaking, if any issues arise, no one can handle the responsibility!"

Director Liu's expression instantly turned dismal; he hadn't expected Director Li to intervene at the last moment.

He directly assigned the city construction project to Tong'an Engineering Company.

He had accepted favors from Wang Yanzhang, how was he going to explain this to him later?

No choice but to follow Director Li's instructions, Director Liu didn't dare utter a word in disagreement.

Director Liu, carrying the bidding agreement, walked into the hall.

Everyone looked up, expecting the announcement of the results!

"Oh no, it's Director Liu again!"

Xiao Wencheng's face turned grim, gripping his pants tightly, fearing to hear the result.

He felt that misfortune was inevitable, unable to alter fate.

Not far away, Wang Yanzhang smirked triumphantly at Xiao Wencheng, "Xiao Wencheng, listen well, understand exactly how you're going to lose, hahaha."
