Chapter 34

The next morning, the bidding meeting was held as scheduled. Jesse and Barclay both attended, as well as several companies that were interested in the project. This time, since it involved cooperation with the government, the project was quite large. If they were able to win the bid, it would be a major achievement.

Everyone had prepared their plans in advance. Jesse glanced at Barclay and caught his gaze. Barclay lifted his eyebrows provocatively, the movement was small but noticeable.

“We’ve all seen your plans, and they’re all quite good. Some of the prices are a bit high, but the after-sales service is good. Some of the prices are low, but the after-sales service isn’t as good.”

“Mr. Evans, your price is still a bit high. Would you consider lowering it?”

“Mr. Dawson, our price is indeed a bit high, but our after-sales service is very comprehensive. You won’t have any worries, and I think it’s worth it. You can consider it.”

Barclay felt that his offer was very tempting. Apart from the slightly higher price, the other party didn’t need to bear any risks.

“It seems that Mr. Evans has a lot of confidence in your products.”

“Of course.”

“If sales are good, we will have a large demand. Can you supply us in a timely manner?”

“No problem, we will make early preparations.”

Barclay’s smile never left his face. He felt that he was almost certain of winning the bid.

Mr. Dawson looked at Jesse again. “Mr. Pascall, your price is good, but you don’t have any after-sales support.”

“It’s precisely because we’ve lowered our price that we can’t offer after-sales support. Please forgive us.”

If the price was low and there was no need to bear any risks, wouldn’t that be a great thing?

“Alright, thank you for coming to today’s bidding. We will notify you after the meeting when we make a decision. Now, please all have lunch together.”

After lunch, Jesse returned to the company. As expected, Barclay’s plan was chosen. As for how they would communicate later, it was their own business. Jesse was not involved in this matter.

When he got home, he didn’t mention the bidding to Nydia. She secretly looked at Jesse, but couldn’t gather any useful information from his face. But she thought to herself that since Jesse didn’t get angry or call her out for questioning, he must have believed her, or perhaps Barclay used the plan she modified.

After dinner, Jesse suddenly looked at Nydia with a serious expression. “Come to my study with me.”

Nydia’s heart suddenly became uneasy.

After they entered the study, Jesse just looked at her without speaking, his eyes were cold.

Nydia felt her scalp tingling. “Did you call me here for something?”

Jesse asked, “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Was he testing her?

Nydia’s mind raced. “Has the bidding started? Did Barclay do something unexpected?”

“Barclay won the bid for this project.”

“In accordance with the plan we modified?”

“Yeah.”

Nydia breathed a sigh of relief. At least there were no unexpected surprises, which proved that she was right.

“How did you know that Barclay would use your plan?”

Jesse crossed his arms and looked at her.
