Chapter 217

After a long wait, the organizing committee finally settled on the final winning company.

The host received the card handed over by the organizing committee and saw the words on it with a slight lurch before raising a smile and announcing the final victory.

“The winner of this bid is Haitian Company, congratulations.”

The host’s words reached everyone’s ears, hearing the unfamiliar name the crowd was stunned, and then applauded to show their congratulations.

Lin remained very shocked in her heart as well, turning her head and Huo Zhulin to lock eyes on.

“Have you heard of this company? Why isn’t Fu Tingyi’s company winning the bid, I think his program is very good.”

“Should be a small company, this small company can win the bid strength is not to be underestimated, people rely on strength to win is also very powerful.”

“I just noticed the program of this company, write really good, but I still like Fu Tingyi, he did not win the bid is really a pity.”

Lin still listening to the discussion behind the sound only feel tired, she also do not want to openly eavesdrop on other people talking, but their talking sound Lin still really can not cover.

Huo Zhulin casts an appreciative glance towards Lin still, then calmly stands up and walks towards the stage.

According to the process Huo Zhuanlin needs to award the trophy to the company that won the bid, so Lin still naturally not surprised.

The host sees Huo Zhulin on stage and smiles as he hands the trophy to him, taking the microphone and saying, “Now please ask Mr. Huo to announce the owner of Haitian Company.”

The crowd is also curious about who actually owns Haitian Company, staring at Huo Zhulin without blinking.

Huo Zhulin took the microphone and blandly said, “Haitian Company is owned by Ms. Lin Still Lin.”

Lin still looks at Huo Zhulin on the stage in dismay, seeing him show a hint of a smile towards herself, she then calms down.

She suddenly feels everyone’s burning eyes and nods stiffly towards the crowd.

The bidding session ended, and everyone was all heading in Lin still’s direction, their mouths one by one all saying words of congratulations.

The smile on Lin still’s face stiffened, but she could only hold it together.

“Thank you all for your blessings, only that Ms. Lin and I are leaving now, so please disperse.”

Huo Zhenlin came through the crowd to Lin still’s side, naturally holding her hand as he walked towards the outside.

Seeing the two of them leave the table, the crowd also left the venue in pairs.

Huo Nantian sat unmoving in his seat, his mind replaying the winning company that the host had just announced.

He clenched his hands into fists, never able to believe that Huo Zhenlin had gone behind his back to make a private bid.

Seeing that there are still people in the arena, the host walks over and kindly reminds, “Sir, the arena has now dispersed, so please leave the table early.”

Huo Nantian doesn’t pay attention to the host’s words, but instead turns his head and rushes out of the arena, wanting to go find Huo Jinglin to ask for an explanation on the spot.

However, the hall was already empty when he arrived, and just as he was about to run out to continue looking, he heard someone behind him call out to him.

Huo Nantian turns his head to look, only to see Fu Tingyi walking in his direction.

“Just now, there were a lot of people in the arena, and I was too embarrassed to say anything that would make you feel embarrassed.” Fu Tingyi looks at his sweaty head and asks in mock surprise, “Are you going to find Huo Zhulin?”

“What gives him the right to make a private bid?” Huo Nantian doesn’t hold back the anger in his heart and vents the question he wanted to ask.

Fu Tingyi’s brows wrinkled slightly, and suddenly smiled, “This time it was Ms. Lin’s company that won the bid, is it not too appropriate for you to blame Huo Zhulin for this?”

Huo Nantian looked at him furiously for a few moments and didn’t reply.

“Besides, your program didn’t have a past against mine, and it makes sense that they won the bid. Your strength wasn’t as strong as Huo Zhulin’s, and if he doesn’t win the bid this time, he’ll still get it next time as usual.”

Fu Tingyi didn’t care about Huo Nantian’s complexion and explained to him.

However, Huo Nantian was not willing to listen to his reasoning, and threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Fu Tingyi saw him leave and hurriedly called out to him, but his feet did not move a step.

Huo Nantian just walked to the front door and saw Huo Zhulin standing not far away, he ran over there like a madman.

Huo Zhuanlin naturally noticed him as well, and after settling Lin still walked in his direction.

There’s only a fist’s worth of distance between the two, and no one speaks first.

“You clearly know that I’m going to bid, so why do you continue to do so in private?” Huo Nantian changes, his voice dry as he asks.

Huo Zhulin didn’t speak, continuing to wait for Huo Nantian’s next words.

“You’re clearly not willing to trust me!” Huo Nantian looked at his calm expression and finally couldn’t contain his anger, “You know it all, why would you still do such a thing?”

“You want us all to trust you, you’re going to need to come up with the facts and put them in front of me, rather than questioning why I’m doing this here now.” Huo Zhuanlin patted his shoulder, wanting to relieve him.

Huo Nantian shook off his hand, not willing to listen to his reasoning at all.

Seeing him in this state, Huo Zhuanlin also knows that he can’t listen to anything right now, so he can only turn his head and no longer pay attention to him, walking in Lin still’s direction.

Lin still stood not far away to take in this scene, she saw Huo Nantian’s look heartache welled up in her heart.

Huo Jinglin also notices her expression and worries, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m just a little heartbroken for him, he must be more upset than anyone else right now.” Lin still said honestly.

But these words are incomprehensible to Huo Zhulin, who frowns and casts a thirsty look at her for an answer.

Lin still doesn’t hide it either, explaining, “You grew up with excellent abilities, and you’re comfortable doing all these things, but some people are destined to like things and won’t be very good at them, and that’s the saddest thing of all.”

“And it just so happens that he’s this type of person, he’s not angry at you, he’s also feeling guilty for his lack of ability, that’s what I think anyway.”

After listening to Lin still’s explanation, Huo Jinglin suddenly laughs out, “If he’s really what you say, he should have found his own inadequacies to make up for it, instead of questioning others.”

Lin still nods her head obediently and stops responding.

“I won’t leave this project to you this time, you’re not very good at this area yet, I don’t think you should accept it either.” Huo Zhenlin changed the topic and said.

Lin still nods her head like a chicken pecking at a rice, and Huo Zhenlin subconsciously touches on her head and pats it twice.

He faintly said, “I thought you’d be angry, but I didn’t expect you to not say a word.”

“I know that you’re doing all of this for my own good, paving the way for me, I won’t question anything you do.” Lin still raised her bright eyes and gazed at him.

The two of them returned to the company by car just in time for the board meeting, which they happened to be attending.

The two of them pushed their way in to hear everyone in the middle of a heated discussion, all complaining that Huo Nantian had missed out on this project due to his lack of strength.
