Chapter 981: Must win

The meeting lasted for a full three and a half hours. During this time, Shen Ci was fully focused, constantly using a pen to simply jot down the key points of the meeting. If there were parts she didn't understand, she would mark them separately, intending to ask Manager Wang Can to help her answer her questions later.

Although she participated in this project with the intention of taking revenge on the "Li Group," this project was not child's play, and she needed to show the necessary responsibility and attitude.

The meeting ended, and as the lights came on, the originally quiet conference hall suddenly became restless.

Many people stood up one after another to stretch their muscles and rotate their necks.

"A-Ci, how do you feel?" Wang Can focused on Shen Ci's experience for the first time: "Did it sound smooth enough?"

Shen Ci smiled and said modestly and truthfully: "There are still quite a few blind spots, but I read the materials you gave me several times carefully before, so the listening experience of the meeting content was quite smooth. As for understanding or not, it's half and half."

"That's already very good." Wang Can encouraged her without stinting: "You are only in contact with these for the first time. Being able to understand half of the content at the forward-looking meeting is really considered impressive."

"However, the content of this forward-looking meeting is relatively routine; they are all processes that must be followed according to regulations, including the meeting itself. Every time the country has such a large project, they will hold such a meeting, and the content and form are basically the same."

Shen Ci understood and nodded: "Then the follow-up..."

"The follow-up still depends on how the bidding documents given by the major bidding groups are. You can't participate in this because there are too many professional points involved. Just leave it to us," Wang Can said briskly.

Shen Ci naturally wouldn't interfere in a field she was completely unskilled in or even completely ignorant of: "Then thank you all for your hard work."

The team members couldn't help but look at each other and smile upon hearing this, and one of them couldn't help but speak: "It's not hard work; we should thank you instead."

This made Shen Ci's expression freeze, and then she looked at them in confusion and asked: "Thank me? Why?"

Then she heard that person explain softly: "Because it's really rare for the group to participate in the bidding for such a large project. In the past, they always left the opportunity to others."

"This is Chairman Jiang's pattern, but we feel that everyone should rely on their own abilities. With such a good construction opportunity, everyone is eager to have a big go at it."

Having said this, Shen Ci understood their thoughts.

"Then now that the opportunity is here, we must win the project." Shen Ci took the opportunity to encourage everyone.

Everyone responded with excitement: "Must win!"

Such a harmonious scene fell into the eyes of everyone leaving the venue, naturally including Li Wanchang.

The happier they laughed, the more nervous Li Wanchang felt inside.

Although "Jiangdong Group" wouldn't take on the entire project, the bidding documents of each group were highly confidential. Once the project the "Li Group" wanted to bid for collided with "Jiangdong Group," the winning odds were basically zero.

Not to mention the "Li Group," it was estimated that no group present wanted to compete with "Jiangdong Group" for the same project.

The most proper way was to avoid their sharp edge and pick some scraps of projects that "Jiangdong Group" didn't look down upon to bid for.

And the only way to know which projects "Jiangdong Group" would bid for was to see the bidding documents of "Jiangdong Group."

At this time, Shen Ci raised her eyes and looked at Li Wanchang in the back from her position in the first row, meeting Li Wanchang's deep, scheming gaze.

She raised her lips slightly, revealing a waveless smile on the surface, but the sharpness in her eyes was like a leopard waiting to hunt!

Li Wanchang's eyes turned cold, and after a cold snort, he turned and left.

"It's noon, everyone has worked hard. I'll treat everyone to a meal." Shen Ci looked at the team members again and invited them.

As a result, everyone refused in unison. Wang Can said: "We'll just eat simply in the company cafeteria. Everyone has a lot of things to go back and get busy with. It won't be too late to have a celebration banquet together after we win the project."

It could be seen that they weren't being polite, but really didn't have much time. Shen Ci didn't force it, walked to the gate with everyone, and then separated.

The car was parked by the side of the road. Cheng An was standing by the side of the road smoking. Seeing Shen Ci come out from afar, he hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt, quickly took out a mouth spray from his pocket and sprayed it into his mouth a few times, and then walked around to the back seat to take the initiative to open the car door for Shen Ci.

Shen Ci saw his flustered appearance and couldn't help but laugh as she approached: "Your equipment is quite complete, even carrying mouth spray with you."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Cheng An took out a 7.5ml perfume sample from his pocket. The sample looked really mini in his broad palm. He saw him clumsily spray it on his clothes twice, then looked at Shen Ci and grinned: "Xingxing gave it to me, saying it's a woody scent that can cover up the smell of smoke very well."

"Bai Bai said girls are very sensitive to smells, so I have to pay more attention."

Shen Ci nodded in appreciation of Cheng An's attentiveness and didn't correct him for calling "woody scent" "wood scent."

"Very good. No matter when, even if it's not for me or other girls, if you can develop such a good habit, it will be an attractive advantage on you in the future, because men who smell good are more likely to make people willing to approach them than those who smell bad."

"Yes, I understand." Cheng An nodded sincerely, indicating he had learned.

The moment she got in the car, Shen Ci said casually: "It would be even better if you could quit smoking directly."

Cheng An didn't promise easily upon hearing this, but touched his face with a simple and honest look, smiling embarrassedly: "That's a bit difficult."

Shen Ci smiled without saying a word, only feeling more and more that Cheng An was simple and honest.

The car door had just closed when her phone rang.

It was a voice call from her mother. Shen Ci answered it smoothly: "Mom?"

"A-Ci, have you finished the meeting?" Shen Jingjing asked softly on the other end of the phone.

Learning that Shen Ci had just finished the meeting, she hurriedly instructed: "Your grandmother is coming. The plane just took off and is expected to land in three hours. Do you have time to pick her up? If you don't have time..."

"I do." Shen Ci agreed directly without waiting for her mother to finish.

She had just heard from her aunt two days ago that her grandmother was coming, and now she was coming. Shen Ci was mentally prepared.

"How should I arrange it after I pick her up? Send her to a hotel?" Shen Ci asked an extra question.

Shen Jingjing on the other end of the phone hesitated upon hearing this and said softly: "Bring her home. Your grandmother is coming specifically to see me this time, and there is no one else following her, so let her stay at home."

The relationship between her mother and grandmother had eased a lot since the last time they returned home. The old lady wasn't stupid; she knew clearly who was truly filial. ===== CHAPTER 982 =====
