Several people in the living room on the first floor were sitting quietly, except for Hao Shengsheng, who was having fun on the floor and burst into laughter from time to time.
Hu Nanming glanced at the second floor from time to time, feeling a little worried. He didn't know if Xue Chen could succeed or if the secret would be exposed. Even if he was discovered, Xi Min wouldn't be angry. After all, this was Hao Yunfeng's idea.
At this moment, sobbing continued on the second floor, and Xi Min was crying. Xue Chen relied on his mind-reading ability and understanding of the whole matter to say some appropriate words to enlighten Xi Min.
After Xue Chen told her two secret little things that only she and her late husband knew, Xi Min became more sure that Xue Chen could really communicate with her late husband, and finally couldn't help but start to reveal her thoughts.
Seeing Xi Min's tearful and sad look, Xue Chen felt sour in her heart. She saw that Xi Min was a very emotional woman.
When more than two minutes passed, Xue Chen said at the right time after three minutes: "He said he hoped you would not dwell on the past. You are still young and want to have a new life. This is what he wants to see, and
You will feel at ease.”
"Really? Does he also want me to start a new life?" Xi Min asked with misty eyes.
Xue Chen nodded heavily.
When they saw Xue Chen and Xi Min, whose eyes were as swollen as peaches, coming downstairs, several people downstairs couldn't help but stand up.
Seeing Hao Yunfeng and Hu Nanming looking over, Xue Chen nodded gently.
"Xiao Min, have you talked to En Bo?" Miao Yuling asked with concern.
Xi Min went over and leaned next to Miao Yuling, nodded: "I said it."
"Enbo...what did he say?" Hao Yunfeng said.
"Enbo said that he hopes to see me have a new life." Xi Min murmured.
Xue Chen didn't stay long. After staying for a few minutes, he got up and prepared to leave. When he left the villa, Hu Nanming caught up with him, took out a piece of paper and handed it over: "Xue Chen, here you go."
"This is?" Xue Chen took a look after the result and saw some miscellaneous things written on it, including porcelain cups, calligraphy and paintings...
"Recently, the provincial government building and its ancillary buildings will be undergoing simple renovation. These are the various related decorative crafts needed. If you prepare, you will bid this for your antique shop to make. The purchase amount is about three million.
Bar."
Xue Chen was startled for a moment, but quickly realized that this was Hao Yunfeng reciprocating the favor. He helped to untie Xi Min's heart knot, so he handed over the procurement project to himself, with a purchase amount of three million, and completed it.
, the profit must be at least one million or more.
After looking at the paper slip, Xue Chen pushed it back: "I can't accept it."
"Huh?" Hu Nanming was a little confused, "Don't worry about anything, this is just a small project."
Xue Chen breathed a long sigh of relief: "Although I know it was for Xi Min's good, after all, I lied to her, and I feel a little bit guilty. If I accepted it, I would feel even more uncomfortable."
Hu Nanming smiled with relief and put the paper back: "I understand, Xue Chen."
Xue Chen chuckled, changed the topic, and said, "However, this project should be subject to bidding. I don't know if our Excellence Antique Shop can bid."
"Xue Chen, you are really interesting. You don't want to give it to you for free, but you have to bid with a group of people?" Hu Nanming asked with a surprised smile.
"I would feel uneasy if I received it for free, but if it was obtained through bidding, I would feel at ease with it. This is completely different." Xue Chen said with a smile.
"Well, since you insist on bidding for this procurement project yourself, I will say hello to the person in charge, but I will not let the person in charge favor you during the bidding." Hu Nanming said jokingly.
"Haha, as long as the person in charge can be fair and just to all bidders, then I will be satisfied." Xue Chen said happily.
"Oh, it seems like you are quite confident. In that case, I'll wait and see. If you lose the bid, don't regret it."
After seeing Xue Chen leave, Hu Nanming returned to the villa. Xi Min and the governor's wife went to rest. Only Hao Yunfeng remained in the living room. After passing by, he said: "Xue Chen confiscated it."
"Confiscated? Why?" Hao Yunfeng said in surprise. This is free money, and there is no risk at all. How could he not accept it?
Hu Nanming explained Xue Chen's thoughts, and finally mentioned Xue Chen's goal of fair competition.
Hearing Xue Chen say that he would feel uncomfortable after accepting it, Hao Yunfeng sighed, with admiration in his eyes. Thinking of Xue Chen having to bid by himself, he smiled and shook his head: "It's really hard to see through his thoughts.
Remember to tell me the results of the bidding."
"Yes, I took note of it." Hu Nanming nodded.
In the room on the second floor of the villa, Xi Min sat beside the bed. She felt that what happened today was like a dream. It felt very unreal. If she hadn't experienced it personally, it would be hard to believe that there is such a thing as psychic communication.
"Start a new life..." Xi Min murmured to herself.
Her family had said similar words to her more than once before, and she was moved and shaken at the same time. She had also thought about this matter, but she stopped thinking about it when she thought of the life-long promises she made with her late husband. But this time,
It was the 'dead husband' who said...
At this time, Hao Shengsheng trotted over and threw herself into her arms: "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
Xi Min stroked Hao Shengsheng's short black hair with her hands. Seeing her son's increasingly healthy body, she was very satisfied and relieved. She hesitated and said, "Shengsheng, if mother finds you a new father, will you?"
Will you be unhappy?" After asking, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Hao Shengsheng raised his head and blinked, and said with a happy smile: "Okay, I want a new father."
Seeing that her son actually agreed, Xi Min breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Hao Shengsheng continued: "I want Uncle Xue to be my new father."
Although there were no outsiders in the room, Xi Min immediately blushed and said hurriedly: "Shengsheng, please don't talk nonsense."
Hao Shengsheng only knew who was good to him and who could make him feel comfortable and happy. That was Xue Chen. When he heard that his mother was looking for a new father, he naturally thought of Xue Chen. In his eyes, his father could accompany him.
Play and make him happy.
"I want Uncle Xue to be my new father." Hao Shengsheng said firmly.
Xi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stopped arguing with her ignorant son, but she couldn't help but think of Xue Chen, and her eyes flickered slightly...
After leaving Sanhu Bay, Xue Chen arrived at the Yang'an branch. Xue Chao was a little surprised by Xue Chen's arrival because he had just been here a few days ago.
Xue Chen just came over to take a look, sat there for a while and then prepared to leave. When he was leaving, he talked to Xue Chao about the bidding: "In a few days, you may get a notice of bidding for a provincial government procurement project. Remember
notice me."
"Huh? Procurement project of the provincial government?" Xue Chao was surprised.
When Huang Pinqing heard that he was going to bid for the provincial government's procurement project, he said with some hesitation: "The profit of the provincial government's procurement project is definitely not low. How many pairs of eyes are staring at it, and there must be tricks during the bidding. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win.
ah."
Huang Pinqing was telling the truth, but this time it was different. If he hadn't turned it down, the project would have been in his hands now, and he specifically told Hu Nanming, then there should be no such dirty things in this procurement project.
Under the fair and just bidding, Xue Chen still had some confidence.
The next day, Hu Nanming called a person in charge of the Procurement Office of the Provincial Government and asked him to include the Yang'an Excellence Antique Shop in the crafts and decorations procurement project.
The person in charge understood this and secretly thought that this antique shop had a long history. He even asked the provincial governor's secretary to personally call and take care of it. So there was no need to think about it. This mark must belong to this family. But Hu Nanming's next words confused the person in charge again.
.
"Director Gu, the amount of money involved in the bidding this time is not small. The governor has warned that the process must be fair and just, and all bidding units will be treated equally, and no specialization can be made, including this outstanding antique store."
Director Gu is really a little confused. Since you have specifically given instructions and asked for fair and just treatment, what exactly do you want to do?
Hu Nanming was also worried that Director Gu didn't understand, so he explained: "This outstanding antique store only needs to provide a bidding invitation letter, and the rest will be treated the same as other units, without any specialization."
"I know what to do, Secretary Hu." Director Gu felt relieved now and knew what to do.
Two days later, the bidding invitation letter was sent to Xue Chao, and Xue Chao immediately called Xue Chen to inform him of the matter.
Xue Chen, who was in Haicheng, was eating out with Wang Dong, Qi Yan, and Xiao Qi. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Old Xue, what do you mean by bidding?" Wang Dong asked hesitantly.
"It's a bidding for related handicraft procurement projects within the provincial government, and the Yang'an branch will also participate." Xue Chen said casually.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell me about this?" Wang Dong said unexpectedly.
"It's not a big deal." Xue Chen simply replied.
Wang Dong chuckled: "What a coincidence, Lao Xue, my dad's construction company also participated in the provincial government's renovation project, which is the exterior wall project of an annex building."
Xue Chen was really surprised when he heard this.
Wang Dong blinked his little eyes: "Old Xue..."
Xue Chen looked back at Wang Dong with a smile: "There is no inside information."
"You didn't? I don't believe it." Wang Dong shook his big head.
"No, it means no. If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do about it. But if Uncle Wang is willing, I can give him some advice during the bidding." Xue Chen touched his chin.
"Okay, it's settled!" Wang Dong said excitedly. (To be continued)
