The team was right, but Fabian had never lost a battle since he was a child. He couldnât possibly withdraw this time and let Amos stand a chance at winning, could he?
âWhich one of us has the final say?â
After hearing Fabianâs words, the team did not dare to speak again.
âIâll take care of the consequences. So donât worry,â Fabian added firmly. The crowd frowned. Suddenly, Fabianâs phone rang. It was Malcomâs voice on the other end. âAre you bidding today?â
Fabian nodded, âYes!â
âDonât participate in the bidding. I have just gotten news that the project is very troublesome. So, itâs best if you donât get involved with it.â
Fabian frowned, âIâll check it out.â
After hanging up the phone, he immediately whispered to the team next to him. âLook into it immediately and find out whatâs going on with this project.â
The team was very efficient and they received all the latest news in less than five minutes.
âThere is a bird conservancy next to this piece of land, which was just approved yesterday. Therefore, many people havenât noticed it yet. If we take this project, there will certainly be a lot of trouble in the construction process because we canât harm the conservancy. This kind of trouble would cost far more than the price we bid for the project. Also, if we canât finish the project on time, we have to pay a high price for compensationâ¦â
Fabian took a look at Amos and said, âDoes Valiant East not know about this?â
âI donât think that he knows. After all, he is not from Greene City!â
Fabian smirked. He had thought that Amos was a dangerous opponent, but now it seemed that he was just a normal competitor.
He immediately changed his mind.
âChange the base bid!â
The team immediately let out a sigh of relief. âOkay, I will change it immediately.â
â¦
At the same time, on Amosâ side.
Clint looked at Amos hesitantly. âMr. Granger, are we really going to fill in with this number?â
Amos looked at him calmly and asked, âIs there a problem?â
Clint immediately shook his head. âNo, but I am a little worried. The Nolan family is more powerful than the people we have competed with before. Moreover, Fabian Nolan is the most talented businessman in his family of several generations. Many experienced businessmen had been ousted by him beforeâ¦â
Amos smirked. âDo you think that Iâm also one of those people who would be stepped on by him?â
Clint went numb. Amos was already a terrifying person. Further enhanced with his gloomy expression, Clint was really a little scared.
Clintâs desire to survive made him finally shut up. He then handed the tender documents over.
All of a sudden, the situation in the bidding site was not as tense as it was before. From the moment Clint handed the documents over, it seemed that everyone was looking at them in mockery.
Clint frowned. He might have lost his composure if it werenât for the fact that he was a senior special assistant.
In fact, he was full of doubts and he felt an urge to question the bid after handing in the documents, but he still held back when he noticed Amosâ cold expression.
He remained silent until the staff announced the final winner of the bid.
Clint was stunned. The Nolan family, who had been fighting with them neck and neck a second ago, had only bid one dollar!
On the other hand, they had obtained the plan for the bidding at a normal market price.
For a moment, Clint didnât know whether he should be happy or suspicious. However, he chose to be happy for their first plan in Greene City.
He remained happy until many people stood up and flashed strange smiles in their direction. Clint looked at Amos and asked, âMr. Granger, why do I feel that we are the ones being deceived?â
â¦
After visiting the milkshake shop in the morning, Eudora went straight home after finishing her work.
She would not give Fabian a chance to invite her to lunch!
As soon as she arrived home, she heard the conversation between Tyler and Leslie in the living room.
âI have just heard that there is a bird conservancy nearby the project that we were trying to bid for. Fortunately, Mr. Nolan has told us not to participate in the bidding for the time being.â
Tyler smiled with satisfaction and said, âThatâs right, Fabian is indeed quite good. Iâll feel at ease if he is with Eudora.â
Eudora went numb. It seemed that she couldnât escape that name no matter where she went.
She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Leslie say, âI didnât expect that Valiant East would participate in such a bid as soon as they arrived in Greene City. If they really succeed in the bidding this time, I think that Valiant East will be in danger!â
Tyler snorted, âI almost believed it when I heard the rumors about how powerful he is. Fortunately, Eudora is already separated from him. Otherwise, my daughter would only suffer with him.â
Eudora couldnât seem to hear the rest of the conversation. She only heard that sentence, that Valiant East might be in danger.
Feeling a burst of tension in her heart, Eudora quickly walked out.
She didnât know where she was going either. Just like that, she left instinctively.
Only when she reached there did she realize that she arrived at the bidding location. When the people outside had almost left, Eudora walked in through the main door.
In the innermost two seats, she saw Fabian and Amosâ teams standing there and looking at each other quietly.
Hearing the sound, they raised their heads at the same time. Eudoraâs eyes quickly swept across Amosâ face. Did he still not know about that matter?
Fabian smiled and waved to Eudora. âSorry, is it already noon? I agreed to pick you up for lunch. Itâs my fault.â
Eudora cursed in her heart before walking over.
âI was just passing byâ¦â
Fabian was not angry. He turned to look at Amos and said, âIâm sorry, President Granger, Iâm going to take my fiancee to lunch. I canât accompany you any longer! But, Iâm from Greene City. I wouldnât want you to get the wrong impression that people from Greene City are bullies to outsiders, so Iâd better warn you that this project is going to be difficult! You have to know that thereâs a bird conservancy nearby. You have to consider the birds before doing anything. There canât be any noise or environmental pollution. Itâs really a shameâ¦â
Amos didnât think that Fabian was reminding him out of good intentions. He was clearly showing off in front of Eudora.
He was telling others in silence that he, Amos, was not as good as Fabian!
Clint was stunned. âPresident Grangerâ¦â He didnât know about this matter in advance. Did they fall into a trap this time?
Clint placed his hand on his forehead in annoyance. Just as he was trying to think of a way to salvage the situation, Amos smiled. âIs that so? Thank you for your concern, Mr. Nolan. But, maybe youâre worrying too much.â
Fabian still looked proud. âOh?â
Amos took out a piece of paper from the document.
âMr. Nolan, did you not know? The higher-ups have approved for this project to be transformed into a park! The original project was changed to another place. This is the approvalâ¦â
Fabian was shocked.
