Chapter 92: Chapter 93: The Boss Backed Out

Inside Quanfang Construction Company, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Many people knew their boss had gone into Liuwan’s office. It went without saying that he was definitely there about the city stadium project.

The dust had seemingly settled on the stadium project, and their company hadn’t landed the massive contract—an outcome their boss would naturally not tolerate.

The boss of Quanfang Construction Company was a man in his fifties named Zhang Yan.

Right now, he was sitting in the office with a dark, unpleasant expression on his face.

"President Zhang..." Liuwan forced a bitter smile. "I really didn’t handle this well enough. If I had done a better job, we might have gotten this contract."

"So you do know!" Zhang Yan was displeased. "I just want to ask you, how do you get things done? On what grounds did Zhang Da manage to get this contract when you couldn’t?"

"Perhaps they used some unconventional methods," Liuwan said helplessly.

"Then why didn’t you use them?" Zhang Yan grew even angrier. "Do you have any idea what kind of contract this is? If he can use unconventional methods, so can you! Why didn’t you do anything? Does Mai Hao like women? Then offer yourself to him! You’re so beautiful, he’d definitely be interested!"

The color drained from Liuwan’s face. "President Zhang..."

"What, am I wrong?" Zhang Yan sneered, retorting, "You think I promoted you to manager just because I valued your abilities? Because you’re so beautiful?"

Liuwan stared at Zhang Yan in disbelief.

Just then, the door swung open and Li Yang hurried in. "Manager Liu, I’ve already taken care of..."

He trailed off, sensing the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Who is he?" Zhang Yan glared at Li Yang, clearly annoyed.

"He’s one of our clients..." Liuwan forced a smile and said to Li Yang, "Could you step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with my boss."

Li Yang grunted in acknowledgment and had no choice but to turn and leave.

"Liuwan, they still haven’t signed the contract. I don’t care if you have to use a honey trap or something else, but you will sort this out for me. Our company is getting this contract. If we don’t, you can start packing your desk," Zhang Yan said coldly.

"President Zhang..." Liuwan was starting to get angry.

"Um..." Li Yang turned his head to look at them and finally spoke up. "Actually, I was trying to tell you that I’ve already handled it. Director Mai has already given the contract to me."

"You?" Zhang Yan slammed his hand on the desk. "Who the fuck are you? Get the hell out."

Liuwan didn’t believe him either.

But just then, Liuwan’s phone rang.

"Manager Liu!" On the other end, Mai Hao said cheerfully, "You’re too kind! My mother’s stroke is completely cured now. Thank you so much for finding that Divine Doctor for me. By the way, Divine Doctor Li said he would write a prescription for you. How about this: come to my office right away, and we’ll sign the contract. You can bring the prescription with you. Thanks!"

Liuwan stood there, stunned. A moment later, she said, overjoyed, "Of course, Director Mai! Please wait a moment. Divine Doctor Li just got back here. I’ll have him write out the prescription for you right away."

After hanging up, Liuwan looked at Li Yang, still finding it hard to believe.

"Actually, it was nothing," Li Yang explained. "Zhang Da found out his mother had a stroke and hired a ’divine doctor’ to treat her. I happened to arrive when they were all there, and since I’m a doctor too, I just cured her myself. Director Mai was grateful and told me I could decide who gets the project. It’s as simple as that."

’Amazing. It’s too incredible!’

Liuwan suddenly felt like laughing.

"What?" Zhang Yan was also stunned. "The contract is ours? Then hurry up and go sign it! Go on, quick!"

"Manager Liu, what about the thing we discussed earlier?" Li Yang glanced at Liuwan.

"What’s your maximum budget?" Liuwan asked Li Yang.

"One..." Li Yang had just said a single word.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Liuwan said with a smile. "For eight hundred thousand, we’ll take care of everything for you."

Li Yang was taken aback for a second, then he understood and broke into a smile.

"What’s going on? What are you two talking about?" Zhang Yan was completely baffled.

"It’s about this file..." Liuwan took out a document and showed it to Zhang Yan. "It’s for a village elementary school. Mr. Li Yang is donating the funds to build it and wants our company to be the contractor..."

Li Yang was inwardly surprised. ’I can’t believe Liuwan has already planned this all out for me.’

"Eight hundred thousand? You can’t build it to these specifications for that price!" Zhang Yan’s face paled when he saw it. "No way. It’ll be one million eight hundred thousand at the very least."

"President Zhang!" Liuwan’s expression soured. "He’s the one who secured this huge contract for us! I promised him before I left that we’d give him a discount if he succeeded. After all, the stadium is the project where we’ll make the real money. This school..."

"No!" Zhang Yan refused coldly. "It can’t be done for that price. It takes one million eight hundred thousand. I’m the boss, and what I say goes!"

Li Yang was furious. ’This motherfucker is going back on his word after we already agreed.’

He held out his hand to Liuwan. "Call Director Mai back."

Liuwan was a bit dazed, but she immediately redialed the number.

"Director Mai, it’s like this. I wanted to ask you something. I’m having a bit of friction with Quanfang Construction Company right now. If I wanted to take this contract to another construction company, would you still honor it?" Li Yang asked, his voice perfectly calm.
