Buddy

The bidding for the new project was on April [-]th, and Lao Xinzhuo specially accompanied Chang Tuhao to the bidding site.

Chang Tuhao looked proud, sitting in the meeting room wearing the same suit as old Xinzhuo.Although he was not fully sure of getting the project, Party A liked his design proposal, otherwise he really wouldn't have stayed here for more than a month.

But with the start of bidding, and the design proposals announced by the bidding design companies, Chang Tuhao's face gradually became gloomy, and he couldn't even maintain a fake smile.

Old Xinzhuo just stretched out his hand quietly to cover the back of Chang Tuhao's.

Chang Tuhao asked softly: "Did you feel it a long time ago? I thought... at most it was only one or two million lower... But I didn't expect..."

Their company turned out to be the highest bidder... The design proposals of all the bidders were similar to theirs, and the architectural appearance obviously copied his design ideas, but they were still the highest bidders, and they didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.

Old Xinzhuo lowered his voice: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

The two did not stay any longer, and the bid failed this time.

Chang Tuhao called to book a plane ticket as soon as he walked out of the office, ignoring the slightly apologetic smile of Party A's staff.

The design concept is too illusory. Even if the architectural layout is similar in appearance, can he yell at everyone to copy it at the bidding meeting?

Old Xinzhuo sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and then said: "I am responsible for this matter."

Chang Tuhao closed his eyes, and smiled wryly: "Nimma, it turns out that what they want is not a quotation, but..."

Old Xinzhuo looked out gloomyly, and the car drove smoothly onto the road.

"Zhuozi, am I useless?"

The old Xin Zhuo shook his head, "You are very good. In engineering, the first thing you need is contacts, the second is experience, and the last is technology. The other party copied your design concept, at least your technology has been recognized by the other party. I am very happy. I like your design this time, it's really great."

That's why he worked so hard and put so much effort into it.However, other aspects were neglected.Not only Chang Tuhao was inexperienced, but also himself.

"Idea, idea...I fucking thought all she wanted was the reserve price. But I didn't expect that she would sell the blueprint from the very beginning."

Old Xinzhuo turned his head and glanced at Chang Tuhao: "It wasn't your contacts and identity that satisfied Party A in the beginning."

Chang Tuhao nodded, took out a cigarette and drank it: "Sometimes things like contacts don't work, I don't have any acquaintances here."

"The other party has taken a fancy to your design concept and agrees with your talent in this area, but they don't believe in the strength of the company."

"Not bad? I invested so much money in it and didn't make any money! It's not bad." Chang Tuhao smashed the cigarette on the car window and leaned back in the chair.

Old Xin Zhuo sighed, and parked the car on the side of the road, "Actually, it was also my negligence. The suppliers we selected here are all the top brands in the industry. You also know that after we sent the inquiry list, many well-known manufacturers Indiscriminate quotation, the manufacturer does not give us the lowest price. Compared with the fixed suppliers of large design institutes, we are already several million in terms of equipment procurement and raw material estimation. High-rise fire alarm and fire protection systems, we do not have Professional qualifications, I found a professional design institute, but the price they gave us also needs to be calculated. In terms of building automation control instruments and equipment, our quotation here is sky-high..."

Chang Tuhao rolled his eyes, "Is that why you said that the price is not a problem at all?"

Old Xinzhuo thought for a while and said: "I thought it would be okay for Xiao Wang to tell the other party the reserve price, after all our price should be higher. But I didn't expect that from the beginning, what the other party wanted was not the reserve price, but our preliminary price. From the design drawings, it can be seen from this point that the relationship between you and Party A is not very good."

Chang Tuhao understands to sue the other party?That's just asking for trouble, "Then why do you think Xiao Wang asked about the reserve price?"

"Have you ever thought about it, maybe Party A hopes that the designer can use your design as a blueprint. So the leaking party also includes Party A. The person behind Xiao Wang got hints from Party A and let Xiao Wang Wang inquired about the reserve price."

Chang Tuhao still felt suffocated, sitting in the passenger seat, nagging, it was nothing more than an addiction, since he couldn't sue, he could only curse to relieve his anger.

"Come on, you're not wronged. I once saw a well-known overseas architect invited to bid, but he didn't win the bid, and the design institute that won the bid completely copied his preliminary design. It's really nothing like that. It’s just that you have too little experience. But you should be happy, you have this talent.”

Chang Tuhao sneered: "Copy... hmph, they copy my design concept, just watch, sometimes they are unlucky."

Old Xin Zhuo thought for a while, looked at Chang Tuhao's face and said, "Have you considered transforming the company into a professional architectural firm? Not participating in construction, but only providing indoor and outdoor planning and design?"

Chang Tuhao thought for a while: "Like a foreign architectural firm?"

Old Xinzhuo nodded: "From the architectural drawings you presented at the beginning, I think you should be more suitable for overseas development. Although there are many companies of this type in China, almost no one can gain a foothold abroad. From In this regard, you have an advantage, why do you have to limit yourself to the domestic situation."

Chang Tuhao's thin eyelids drooped, and his thick eyelashes trembled slightly. This was also his original intention, but he wanted to develop overseas, and he would not be willing to leave here.

"Consider what I said. And Xiao Wang, what are you going to do with it? House thieves are hard to guard against."

If the people behind Xiao Wang didn't care too much about this project, she probably wouldn't have been exposed.After all, everyone has the same design, and it is impossible to tell that she is the ghost.

Chang Tuhao just smoked and didn't speak.Xiao Wang was caught, but he still lost badly.

"Zhuozi, I haven't got any evidence that Xiao Wang and Zhao Yi are related. This time we can only suffer a dull loss. I admit defeat. But the company has lost a lot for this project... I am a little worried about the future of the company. Prospects, if the company really can't get the project, what will Xiao Li do in the future." It's not that the other party is too treacherous, but that he overestimated his ability.

Old Xinzhuo looked at Chang Tuhao in surprise. This person seemed to be careless about the survival of the company and spent a lot of money. He didn't expect to be worried about Xiao Li and his group.

"Zhuozi, this time I realized that money is fucking hard to earn. Xiao Li and the others are so busy, but because of Xiao Wang, all their hard work was in vain. I told Sun Tianxiang and the others before that they would definitely be able to make money. But now..."

Old Xin Zhuo looked at Chang Tuhao's face, his eyelids were drooping, his eyelashes cast shadows, his cheeks were slightly red because of anger, he pinched Chang Tuhao's chin, and pressed his lips against it.

The gentle kiss really soothed Chang Tuhao's heart. He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "The car vibration is very exciting. Let's try it. Besides, it's daytime and there are many cars on the road. It will be more exciting."

Old Xinzhuo let go of his hand, he was wrong in the end, thinking that this guy would be depressed after being hit.

……

The May Day holiday has always been the peak time for marriage.

Chang Tuhao and Lao Xinzhuo, who had rushed back from the west overnight, were also preparing to attend Sun Tianxiang's wedding.

It's just that they can't go to Sun Tianxiang's house to meet people. The Sun family has already regarded them as refusal households, and even Sun Tianxiang didn't answer their calls.

Sun Tianxiang was going to get married, so the venue he chose was naturally high-end, and the Sun family's financial resources were everywhere in the venue.

Chang Tuhao looked at the wedding venue, and the guests who came and went rolled their eyes: "The Sun family really spent a lot of money. I heard that the couple will bring their relatives and friends to Thailand to hold another beach wedding."

Old Xinzhuo just responded, he was looking for someone, he couldn't get in touch with Gu Zhen, the other party turned off his phone and didn't say anything, and he didn't go to the store either.

Chang Tuhao pulled the old Xinzhuo's arm: "Don't look for it, I can't even get into the Sun's house, do you think the Sun's house can let Gu Zhen come to have a wedding?"

The two found an empty table and sat down, but when people came to sit down, they all stood up and left with a smile.Chang Tuhao was in a bad mood, and he didn't even have a fake smile.

Old Xinzhuo raised his eyebrows: "Don't you like being at the same table with them?"

Chang Tuhao snorted: "I could be the best man and sit at the main table, but let me find a seat by myself, do you still want me to be at the same table with others? The red envelopes I gave are enough to cover ten tables."

Old Xinzhuo shook his head helplessly, anyway, let’s pack it if he can’t finish eating.

It's just that the wedding has not started for a long time, and the guests are already talking about it.

Old Xinzhuo saw that the main table was empty, and neither the Sun family nor the bride's family members showed up.

There were a lot of people in suits standing in the venue, some of them were holding walkie-talkies, some were touching their ears, old Xin Zhuo saw it, these people were either security guards or bodyguards.

Chang Tuhao looked at his watch: "Hey, why haven't you started to make trouble at this point? Are you still waiting for someone? Could it be that the bride was scared away, or the bride was too shabby to come out To see people?"

Where he was gloating, someone came to the table, glanced at Chang Tuhao and old Xinzhuo, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Chang, Mr....Mr. Mr. Sun wants to see you."

Chang Tuhao knocked on the sunflower seeds and said leisurely, "No." He was getting annoyed.

The man stood aside in embarrassment, "Mr. Chang, please go over."

Chang Tuhao poured a cup of tea for old Xinzhuo, "What am I doing in the past? Could it be that the bride escaped from marriage? That has nothing to do with me."

Old Xin Zhuo never thought that Sun Tianxiang would run away from marriage, after all, there was nothing that could make his grandson give up everything the Sun family gave him.

Seeing that he couldn't move Old Xinzhuo, the man could only say to Old Xinzhuo: "Can you come here, please? Mr. Gu's whereabouts are unknown at present. Please discuss the specific matters with Mr. Sun in detail."

Chang Tuhao's eyes widened, unable to digest what he heard, "Sun Tianxiang and Gu Zhen...eloped?"

The man became more and more embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Please come with me."

Chang Tuhao thought for a while, nodded, and stood up.

Old Xin Zhuo then stood up, took Chang Tuhao's arm, and followed the man, but as soon as he left the hall, he felt several security guards following behind.

Chang Tuhao frowned, holding the old Xin Zhuo's hand tightly, the two looked at each other, turned around and ran away from the security guards following behind, and ran out of the hotel.

As soon as the two got into the car, Chang Tuhao's phone rang.

"Uncle Sun... I wrapped such a big red envelope, I'm not being rude... Sun Tianxiang is missing? Hehe, I don't know."

Chang Tuhao hung up the phone, pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache.He still expected Sun Tianxiang to show him the construction site, but this man really ran away.

Old Xin Zhuo started the car, he didn't go home, but kept wandering around the city, "Call Gu Zhen."

"Shut down, both of them shut down, is it possible that they really ran away? Doesn't this grandson really like Gu Zhen?"
