Chapter 281 - 278: The Tragic Death of Lu Junwen
"Although we didn’t get the Jinluo Bay project, it’s okay. Everyone involved in this case, the bonuses you deserve, you should still receive. The efforts during this time cannot be in vain," Mengyao instructed, "Also, hold a celebration as if we secured the project, let colleagues relax and have fun. As for the celebration, let Du Xueqi attend on my behalf."
"President, isn’t this inappropriate? There’s no need to add this expense. If we had secured the project, we would be at ease, but now we’ve failed, how can we have the face?" Zhang Jing said with shame.
"It’s not your responsibility, don’t feel embarrassed. Just do as I say, all expenses will be reimbursed by the company," Mengyao commanded without room for doubt.
Zhang Jing could only comply.
Mengyao let Du Xueqi attend this banquet partly to help Du Xueqi quickly blend in with the company’s top management.
Du Xueqi and Zhang Jing went to the company.
Ye Fan and Mengyao returned to the villa. Ye Fan said with a smile, "Missing out on this project, are you disappointed?"
"A little, but it’s okay. That’s business, sometimes you gain nothing and yet sacrifice a lot," Mengyao calmed down from the disappointment and sighed, "What puzzles me is that I don’t know where the problem was, losing such a big project is indeed a pity."
"You don’t need to sigh. I analyzed it, from beginning to end, Meng Hao always had a confident expression regarding this project, and it was no surprise when he secured it," Ye Fan said seriously, "So, I believe it’s not that you weren’t excellent enough, but that Meng Hao played some underhand tricks. He probably had some leverage over Niu Daren, forcing him to act this way. You know, the Fierce Tiger Gang’s influence is significant, and it’s too easy for them to get leverage over someone."
