Chapter 101 Tender Conference

Chapter 101: 101 Tender Conference

After everyone had left, Lei Lingfeng entered a secret chamber and dialed a number on a special phone within the room.

"Sir, Tian Xing is dead!" Lei Lingfeng spoke in a humble voice.

...

Returning home, Ling Feng lazily lay on the couch, thought for a moment, then used his cellphone to dial a number.

"Hey, Little Poison Insect, where are you right now?" Ling Feng asked with his legs propped up.

A man’s voice came through the phone: "Damn, it’s you, huh? Why would you call me out of the blue? That’s not your style, Ling Feng!"

"Cut the crap, I’ve got something to tell you!" Ling Feng then told him about the incident with Tang Tianxing.

There was a moment of silence on the phone before the man let out a sigh and said, "I know, I didn’t expect him to have been hiding in Yanjing all along! No wonder we could never find him! By the way, I heard you’re back in Huaxia?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could I possibly have run into Tang Tianxing!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.

"That’s great!" The voice said with surprise, "I’ll be heading to Yanjing soon myself, so let’s get together then. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other!"

"What are you coming to Yanjing for?" Ling Feng asked casually.

"To participate in the Dragon Group’s exchange training," the voice said. "I can’t talk anymore, I’ve still got a mission to complete, gotta hang up!"

The owner of this voice was none other than the contemporary Tang Sect’s walker! A few years ago, while on a mission in Africa, Ling Feng had a chance encounter with this Tang Sect disciple named Tang Liuyu.

Initially, the two had a misunderstanding and got into a fight. Although Tang Liuyu was no match for Ling Feng, Ling Feng liked Tang Liuyu’s unrestrained character and the two unexpectedly became close friends who talked about anything and everything!

Of course, Tang Liuyu didn’t know that Ling Feng was the Blood-Handed Asura; he just thought of him as a regular mercenary. The issue with Tang Tianxing came out inadvertently after the two had a few drinks.

Dragon Group’s training exchange? Ling Feng shook his head slightly.

Over the next few days, Ling Feng had a relatively comfortable time, visiting the main attractions in Yanjing, going fishing with Yun Yang a few times, and Liu Yuwei even called him several times to invite him out, but he turned her down each time.

Compared to Ling Feng’s ease, Yun Hanrui, however, had been incredibly busy lately!

Due to the bright prospects of Chaoyang Biotechnology, Yanjing City and Chaoyang Biotech were engaging in in-depth talks about a collaboration. A plot of land in the Yanjing Suburbs scheduled for demolition had been allotted to Chaoyang Biotech by Yanjing City to build a world-class biotech park!

Constructing a top-tier biotech park was no simple task. From the initial surveys to the mid-stage negotiations, and later to the bidding stage, despite Yanjing City’s strong support, Yun Hanrui was exhausted from the effort.

"President, we have to go to the municipal government in ten minutes for the final round of the bidding conference!" Sun Xiaofei appeared in Yun Hanrui’s office with files in her arms.

Yun Hanrui massaged her eyebrows, her face showing overt signs of fatigue.

"Alright, I know!" said Yun Hanrui, signing off on the documents in her hand and handing them to Sun Xiaofei.

"Xiaofei, let me know about tomorrow’s schedule!" Yun Hanrui asked as she packed up her things.

"Of course, President!" Sun Xiaofei replied: "Tomorrow is Christmas. In the morning, you promised Dean Chen to give a lecture to the biology students. At noon, you’ll have discussions with the representatives of the winning bidders. In the afternoon, you’re scheduled to inspect the industrial park on-site, and in the evening, you need to go home and spend Christmas with your family!"

Yun Hanrui nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I got it. Have the administrative department arrange a driver for me, I’ll head over now!"

Ten minutes later, a Mercedes-Benz van drove out of the Chaoyang Biotechnology Company.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Lin Zhijie watched the departing car and made a phone call: "Yun Hanrui has left; you can take action now!"

In the car, Yun Hanrui told Sun Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, I’ll take a nap first; wake me up when we get there!"

"Sure, President!"

Having said that, Yun Hanrui yawned and fell asleep in the backseat. The past few days had been so hectic that she hadn’t had a good rest in days.

An hour later, the final bidding conference regarding the biotech park in Yanjing City officially began.

Secretary Lin asked his assistant, "Why hasn’t the president of Chaoyang Biotech arrived yet? The meeting is about to start!"

The secretary whispered, "I just received a call from the assistant to the president of Chaoyang Biotechnology. They said President Yun Hanrui had an urgent matter to deal with and wouldn’t attend today’s meeting. After all, all the processes have been completed; we are just waiting for the final bidding results!"

Secretary Lin frowned, "Nonsense, today is such an important day! After the bidding, there’s a press conference. How can she be absent when she’s the main character? Even if she doesn’t attend the meeting, she should at least come to the press conference later, right?"

𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The secretary nodded, "Alright, Secretary, I’ll push for it!"

The time had come, and the bidding meeting officially started. Secretary Lin waved his hand, dismissing the secretary to deal with the situation.

As the organizer of this conference, he had to preside over the entire event.

This time, the bidding process aimed to find contractors for the construction of the Biotech Park. The demolition area in the Yanjing Suburban was nearing the end, and construction would commence as soon as the area was cleared.

With only about a year left in office, Secretary Lin had to use this year to firmly establish the biotech park project. Only then could he amass enough achievements to gain more power and even possibly advance into the innermost circles of Huaxia’s hierarchy.

Subtracting nearly a year for research and coordination, Secretary Lin had just over half a year for the transformation of the demolition area. Therefore, time was tight and action urgent!

Seventeen construction companies were interested in undertaking this major project. They submitted their plans as bidding documents, which were evaluated by experts behind the scenes. After comprehensive assessment, one construction company was awarded the reconstruction project of the demolition area.

The construction company was named Dongfeng Construction Company, and its legal representative was — Guo Xiaodong!

The bidding conference lasted an entire afternoon and wasn’t until the meeting was over that Secretary Lin realized Yun Hanrui had not shown up at all!

"Little Li!" Secretary Lin summoned his secretary, "What on earth is going on? The press conference is about to start, where is President Yun Hanrui?"

Secretary Li said with a grave expression, "Secretary Lin, I find this situation very strange. I kept calling President Yun’s phone, but couldn’t get through. Assistant Sun was vague over the phone and didn’t specify what the urgent matter was. I called Chaoyang Biotech just now, and they said President Yun had already left in the afternoon!"
