Chapter 95
Lyra got interested, "What's the bet?"
"If the Freeman group wins the bid later, you will strip naked in public and admit you are a bitch who likes to seduce men! Then get the hell out of Frayton and never appear on screen again!"
Her bet asked for so much, and this was clearly a barefaced humiliation!
Cody was beside with irritation and was just about to help Lyra when he was held down by Lyra.
Lyra smiled slightly and took Sheila's words, "I don't ask for much, if another company gets the bid, you just kneel down on the spot and kowtow to me three times."
Sheila stared first.
With that, she felt she wouldn't lose anyway, so it didn't matter what she said.
"Great! I'll be waiting for you to personally strip naked and dignified!"
After finishing her harsh words, Sheila swaggered back to her seat.
Just as she sat down, the host came out just in time to announce the results.
After some official words, he took out the final result sheet and began to read: "The first is for the Goldin Area of Yosan Hill District. Congratulations to Rimsafe Construction for winning the bid ... "
The front was small, insignificant plots of land. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Each time the host read out a winning company, the audience clapped along.
Sheila was very excited and even a little nervous as she listened to the suburban land in the west of the city, which was getting closer and closer.
She subconsciously glanced at Lyra's reaction, but saw that she still looked too calm to speak.
Hum, she would like to see how this bitch will die when it was really announced later!
"Finally, it's the most sought-after land, the suburban land in the west of the city! Who will be the winner of it?"
On stage, the host, with a mysterious expression, finally got to the main event of the day.
The scene followed with a lively atmosphere.
Fiona's heart was a little apprehensive, but saw the host seemed to glance twice in her direction, and was immediately relieved.
"Let's congratulate the biggest winner of this bid ..."
As the host announced the winner, Fiona stood up straight away.
She even turned around, smiled and waved to the seats behind, with a showy expression of having won the top prize.
"The winner of the suburban land in the west of the city is, Atimber Property, congratulations!"
Fiona was about to walk up to the stage to deliver her speech when she heard unfamiliar words and froze in place.
Atimber Property?
Surprisingly, it was not the Freeman group...
How was this possible? When did such a small and insignificant company appear? She had never even heard of it!
At this moment, she stood up and waved like a clown.
And the words Atimber Property were like a couple of big slaps in the face that made her feel ashamed of herself.
The crowd also began to whisper.
When looking at Fiona, her expressions became sharp.
Sheila stood up in disbelief and questioned, "That's not possible! What the hell is Atimber Property? In terms of seniority, offer and reputation, it's nothing compared to the Freeman group!
The host blacked out.
"Miss Freeman, please pay attention to your words. We made a comprehensive decision after comparing the bids and business plans provided by each company, and it is absolutely fair and just."
"I don't believe it! Unless you bring out the evidence! Otherwise I'm just not convinced!" Sheila was unrelenting.
Now, the host was in trouble.
Where was the evidence?
Bids and business plans were top secret and cannot be made public, which was a big no-no for any company.
But if they didn't come up with something, it will make people think they really had cheated.
When Sheila saw that he did not speak, she snorted in triumph, "As long as you cannot take out evidence, then this bid for the suburban land in the west of the city will not count!"
"This ..."
The host was not looking good when Lyra looked at Jackie, who was sitting in the corner in the last row.
Jackie understood, stood up directly and walked in the direction of the stage.
"It's not up to Miss Freeman to decide if this bid is valid or not!"
The crowd heard a female voice and turned around, and they were shocked.
The head of Atimber Property was sitting in the back row of such an inconspicuous place, which showed how small the company's reputation and size must be!
What made such a small company successful in its bid?
They were not as good as the Freeman group. Were they not as good as Atimber Property?
The major companies began to echo Sheila's words and demanded that the bid be voided.
The crowd's voice was very impassioned for a moment.
Jackie, who was ordered by Lyra, steadily walked to the stage and picked up the microphone.
"Since everyone insists, let's show the bids on the screen for everyone to see! Let everyone know that we Atimber Property win on merit!"
The crowd snickered.
It was simply not believed that such a small company can write anything good.
The hosts quickly informed the organizers of this.
The organizers eventually agreed to Jackie's request.
Two minutes later, a large screen began to show the Atimber Property bid.
At first glance, it looked mediocre.
But the further they read, the more they can find out how strong the person who wrote this bid was.
In it, both the analysis of the whole industry and the commercialization of the suburban land in the west of the city were extremely precise and sharp.
The crowd was too shocked to speak.
They didn't expect that a small Atimber Property would have such a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon.
A curious company head stood up and asked Jackie, "May I ask this lady, did you write this bid?"
Jackie shook her head, "No, it was written by our boss."
God knew it was actually because Darkbell's people and Atimber Property's staff couldn't write anything good and submitted several copies to Lyra, all of which were very unsatisfactory.
No way, in the end she had to do it herself, staying up all night to rush out.
While 'the boss behind the curtain' Lyra frowned and gave Jackie a stern look.
Jackie knew that she was talkative, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes.
The crowd didn't pay attention to the little gesture between the two of them.
People were wondering who owned Atimber Property!
Although Atimber Property may look very modest now, the owner behind it looked like he had great talent.
If it continued to develop, it may become a very difficult competitor!
Many people started quietly googling, trying to find out who the mysterious and low-profile owner behind Atimber Property was.
This company had strength to win the bid so no one on the scene dared to question again.
Although Sheila could not read too well, but looking at the crowd and Fiona's expression, she also guessed about it, and could only cover her head and pretend to be a mosquito to reduce her presence.
Seeing that the major companies were thoroughly convinced, Jackie began to deliver her testimonial.
"... Finally, on behalf of the company, I would also like to thank Ms. Fiona of the Freeman group, if it wasn't for Ms. Fiona's humility, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been Atimber Property's turn to do anything."
This comment was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face of Fiona.
Who in the room did not know how proud Fiona was before!
Fiona's face was red, just being touted how cool she was. Now she wanted to find a place to hide herself!
But because of the Freeman group's dominant position in the housing industry, other companies were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say anything too aggressive to their faces.
A bidding session was thus successfully concluded.
Everyone began to disperse one by one.
Sheila hunched her back and hid behind Fiona, trying to leave as if nothing had happened.
But it was intercepted by Cody's long legs.
Lyra's sarcastic voice came from behind.
"Miss Freeman hasn't shown anything yet, and she wants to simply leave like that?"
