Chapter 93 Imperative bidding
Lyra smiled, “You don’t need to know the reason, just do what I say.”
The former owner could not say anything else, and the two sides quickly finished signing the contract.
Lyra let Jackie Osborne from Darkbell work in the company and overhauled the overall strategy, staffing plan and management.
After doing this, she sat back in her car and turned on her phone to check the recent news in the real estate industry.
She found out that the Freeman group had been temporarily operated by Fiona!
She couldn’t help but shake her head in amusement.
Although Fiona was a high achiever in finance from the university when she was young, the affluent life in a luxurious family for years had long worn away her little business ability.
However, it would be good for Fiona if she were to manage the Freeman group temporarily.
She was afraid when Melvin disappeared a little longer, the Freeman family’s money can be directly drained by Fiona and Sheila without her doing anything.
But she didn’t mind using means to speed it up.
With this in mind, she arranged for Darkbell to quietly check out the Freeman group’s recent investment trends.
She found that Fiona seemed to be interested in the suburban land in the west of the city.
So she called Jackie.
“Pay more attention to the project of the suburban land in the west of the city. I am bound to take it.”
“Yes, boss.”
…
In the meantime, Fiona was enjoying herself in the President’s Office as an acting president.
The old Freeman was once in this office before and then his husband and son.
Now, when she sat in the president’s chair, she only felt the power in her own hands. She knew how cool it felt!
If her son didn’t come back yet, she would still be the acting president for a few more days, which seemed pretty good.
Fiona was thinking happily when Kristi from the planning department came over with the information book.
“Ms. Fiona, this is the proposal for the suburban land in the west of the city, followed by a list of other competing companies. So we can take targeted measures to ensure that we get the maximum amount of the land.”
Fiona flipped through the information book and found that they were all small and unknown companies.
How can the Freeman group compete with those small companies?
She said with disdain, “I don’t want a maximum. I have to be able to take the land, and if you can’t even do it with a bunch of small companies, get ready to get out!”
Kristi was very upset with her statement.
“Ms. Fiona, I’m just in charge of bidding for the land project. I can’t guarantee to take the land, because the bidding meeting is for you to go in person at that time.”
Kristi finished, turned her head and left straight away.
Fiona was furious by her attitude, “Is that the kind of attitude you’re using to talk to me? Believe it or not, I’ll tell you to get lost right now!”
Kristi felt so wronged by the scolding that she pushed the door open just as Ashley came in.
She heard all the conversation in the room just now.
“Hello, Miss Ashley.”
After greeting her with red eyes and grievance, Kristi ran out of the office without looking back.
Ashley saw the situation, smiled and went up to advise, “Fiona, even if you don’t like her, do not let her go at this time. When the bid meeting is over, it is not too late to fire her.”From NôvelDrama.Org.
She spoke warmly while walking up to help Fiona massage her shoulders.
After a few days of recuperation, the injury on her face had healed, but the humiliation on the day was something she was unlikely to forget in her lifetime.
But Ashley’s father was a businessman who valued profit most. Knowing that she was wronged, her father won’t risk to help her to fix Lyra that bitch because of Keith and Kawa.
Since this was the case, she can only start with Fiona here and found an opportunity to take revenge herself!
Fiona saw her, cooled down a little bit, and went to take her hand affectionately.
“Ashley! Fortunately I have you, otherwise I must be angry to death by this bunch of bastards. You must have learned a lot of business and management knowledge when you studied abroad. I will have to rely on you to help me in the future.”
That was what Ashley was waiting for!
She smiled slightly and blushed modestly, “No, just know some of it, but don’t worry, I will do my best to help you.”
Originally, Fiona was polite and gave her an unused management position in the company.
However, it took Ashley just one afternoon to sort out the old departments that had been mixed up for years and divide them up.
Now, Fiona trusted her completely and had let her manage two other departments.
Three days later, it was the bidding conference for the suburban land in the west of the city.
Fiona left Ashley at the Freeman group to take care of business and brought her daughter Sheila to the event in grand style.
The two stood at the entrance, exchanging courtesies with the other company executives who had come to bid for the land.
After scanning through all the companies that came, Fiona felt even more certain of winning the bid, and her chin was almost in the air.
The two were about to go in when they suddenly heard a commotion behind them.
Looking back, it was a handsome silver and gray Maybach that pulled up to the front.
The passenger door opened and a woman came out of the car. She dressed a rose-colored slim dress, which was simple and elegant.
And under her exquisite makeup, her stunning face was astonishing to Fiona and Sheila.
She can’t believe it was … Lyra the bitch!
“Mom, what is she doing here?!”
Sheila glared indignantly in Lyra’s direction and asked Fiona in a whisper.
Fiona shook her head.
She couldn’t understand it either, but she still remembered the Matthews family’s opening ceremony a few days ago.
Sheila seemed to think of the same thing as her, “This bitch, she didn’t know we will win the bid today, so she came to mess it up on purpose, did she?”
With that in mind, the two walked up and stopped Lyra with a smile as she closed the car door and turned around, creating an atmosphere of friendly greeting for the others.
Seeing less attention to this side, Sheila only gritted her teeth and asked in a whisper.
“You’re haunting! You got the upper hand for several times, and you’re very proud of yourself, aren’t you?”
Lyra covered her mouth and smiled elegantly, “What? You can come and bid, but I can’t?”
It was as if Sheila had heard the biggest joke in the world.
“Just you? You want to bid for the suburban land? Did I hear you right?”
She gave Fiona a look and Fiona listened and laughed, “Could Keith have just given this bid for you? But do you have the money for it?”
Keith’s influence on the entertainment industry was well known, but he never seemed to have set foot in the real estate industry.
Lyra just smiled, and her expression was still graceful and relaxed.
Without waiting for her explanation, the door of the main driver of the Maybach opened.
“What a coincidence! I am also interested in this bid meeting.”
A handsome young man with gangster’s temperament in the suit walked around the front of the car and stood next to Lyra.
His arrogant voice … Cody?
Fiona was stunned badly.
How come Cody will come too?
Was the Carver family really interested in the suburban land as well?
