My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 278 - 275: Drawing Water with a Bamboo Basket, All in Vain

Having connections in the government office makes things easier. For this bid, Mengyao has put in a lot of effort and doesn’t want to lose the opportunity just like that. With the help of Zhang Lu and Shen Tingting, she believes it will be twice the result with half the effort. That’s also why, when faced with a roadblock, they dared to openly attack the police and hijack the police car without too much concern.

"The president sure has a strong influence." Zhang Jing’s heart was pounding as she looked at Shen Tingting and Zhang Lu, still not having calmed down from the earlier excitement. The scene before her was astonishing.

At this moment, Meng Hao walked over with a smile, "Mengyao, you finally arrived. To delay the bidding time, I’ve been working hard. Miss Shen and Officer Zhang can vouch for me. I genuinely wish to compete with you fairly."

Mengyao glanced at Zhang Lu and Shen Tingting and saw from their expressions that Meng Hao wasn’t just making small talk, but it was genuinely true. However, she didn’t care and asked with interest, "I heard that the people who blocked us were all servants of the Meng Family. Is that true?"

Meng Hao’s face turned awkward, and he said sheepishly, "Mengyao, your information is really up-to-date. Yes, but I don’t know which fool was deceived to do such a stupid thing. Afterward, I will certainly punish the person responsible to vent your anger, Mengyao. You know me; I disdain doing such mean things. Even in bidding, I will win honestly."

"You don’t need to trouble yourself with that; just manage your servants well. That’s more important than anything." Mengyao said with a stern expression.

"Mengyao is absolutely right. You know my feelings. If the two of us could get together, those disobedient servants will then rely on you to help me discipline them." Meng Hao laughed, his face full of smiles.

Mengyao was visibly angry but forced herself to hold it in, not even giving Meng Hao a glance, and looked at Ye Fan and said, "Let’s go."

Watching Mengyao and her group walk away, anger seethed in Meng Hao’s eyes. He cursed in a low voice, "Damn bastard, now I can’t clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. Mengyao’s attitude towards me will only get worse. It’s all Lu Junwen’s fault for doing such a foolish thing."

"Young Master Meng, should I order someone to deal with Lu Junwen?" Flying Rat asked.

"No." Meng Hao’s expression darkened, and he said in a somber tone, "I want to personally finish Lu Junwen’s life."

Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan with a burning gaze and said bitterly, "Ye Fan, I think, pulling off an attack on police and hijacking a police car was all your idea, right? Aren’t you being too bold? If it wasn’t for considering our previous collaboration, you might have already caused a huge mess. Do you know you’re being so reckless and lawless?"

"Don’t put labels on me, making it seem like I’m utterly evil. It was out of desperation that I had a clever idea. If it’s too excessive, you just handle it, okay? Is it necessary to make a fuss?" Ye Fan said indifferently.

"I’m making a fuss? It’s you who’s too calm, no, to be precise, too arrogant," Zhang Lu said with a helpless smile. "It seems like you and Mengyao see me as a tool to clean up your messes. You don’t even ask before using me to wipe the slate clean, do you feel that’s too much?"

"It’s not what you think. We have a good relationship, right? So I thought having you cover for us would mean nothing would go wrong. And thanks to your abilities, otherwise, we’d be in trouble," Mengyao quickly said.

"Mengyao’s words are much more pleasant; with me covering, nothing can go wrong." Zhang Lu said cheerfully, then glared at Ye Fan with a hint of accusation, "Unlike some people who are so arrogant. I helped out so much without even a thank you, and they just assume they should be this brazen, with no awareness of law and order."

"Well, thank you for lending a hand. Are you satisfied now?" Ye Fan said with a wry smile.

"Although you’re not speaking from the heart, I’m pleased to hear ’thank you’ from you." Zhang Lu hummed proudly.

"Reckless and arrogant, seeming rash but actually looking down on everything. With his attitude, I have reason to suspect he is the Terminator," Shen Tingting quickly pondered in her mind. "Only the Terminator, with unimaginable strength, would have such a mindset, disregarding all existing rules."

Zhang Jing and Du Xueqi submitted all the bidding proposals.

At the bidding venue, there were many business elites from all sides.

"No wonder she’s the number one strong woman. Even for such a big project as Jinluo Bay, the bidding time was delayed just because she was late."

"Indeed, comparing oneself to others can be infuriating. When will we ever wield such power?"

"Give up on that dream. We may never achieve President Chu’s accomplishments in our lifetime, only admire."

"That’s true, President Chu is too successful."

Many business elites gathered, speaking this way. On the surface, they seemed calm and gracious, speaking elegantly, but deep down, envy and jealousy turned into blame and criticism regarding President Chu’s tardiness.

"Why should we always wait?"

"If you’re late, don’t participate in the Jinluo Bay project anymore. With no sense of timing, how could she be so successful?"

"God is really blind, how can he favor her so much?"

In their hearts, there were no kind words, but such thoughts were only imagined in private, and they dared not reveal any dissatisfaction.

Soon, the bidding began.

On stage, with a complex expression, he glanced at Chu Mengyao and Meng Hao, then focused on Shen Tingting and Zhang Lu. His heart was particularly troubled.

"What should I do now?"

"What exactly should I do?"

"On one side are my ancestors, that’s my boss. Whatever they ask me to do, I have to do."

"But on the other side, they have leverage over me. If I don’t follow their wishes, everything could be over. Not just my career, but I fear I might spend the rest of my days in prison."

"I have to take a risk. For now, I can’t anger Meng Hao; I can only stall Shen Tingting and Zhang Lu. As for any consequences that may follow, I’ll deal with them when they come."
