Are you sure it was someone from Tenghui who notified you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just had dinner together last time, It’s impossible for me to recognize the wrong person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui felt like he was hearing things, “Wait, didn’t they say they still needed to evaluate and make a decision by next week?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.” Lu Jingzhi was still dizzy from being hit on the head by a huge project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They just suddenly decided on us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They didn’t make any excessive demands?” Lu Rui felt this was the real truth, and his tone suddenly turned serious, “Did you concede any benefits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I fought for what we should and they were very straightforward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui asked out of the blue, “Do you have someone on the inside at Tenghui?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi was speechless and choked up, “Dad, if there were someone, would we have waited till now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True.” Lu Rui was somewhat at a loss; it wasn’t that he was overthinking, but Tenghui’s way of doing things was meticulous, and it’s not possible they would decide suddenly despite having said next week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be some kind of conspiracy? What might the other party be scheming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui’s expression was grave, “No matter what, be cautious when signing the contract with them, I fear there might be a trap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi’s smile was helpless, “Dad, you’re overthinking, Tenghui is a subsidiary of Shengqiao, they have more money than we do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That really hits hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Jingzhi still knew the stakes; it was indeed abrupt for the other party to say they wanted to cooperate, so he still had to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Rui hung up the phone, Su Mian asked him, “What happened, you look so happy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui’s eyes showed undisguised excitement as he shared the news with Su Mian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the whole story, Su Mian was genuinely happy for Lu Rui, “That’s great, didn’t you say this project was very important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui nodded and then said, “I just find it strange, the other party’s attitude was clearly to choose another company, I don’t know why they suddenly chose us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does it matter, the important thing is that they’ve chosen you now.” Su Mian thought he was worrying too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he remembered that he had just talked to Qiao Yun about this today, and by evening the cooperation had been finalized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Qiaoqiao…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui abruptly grabbed his wife’s hand, his serious and handsome face beaming with a smile, “She really is my lucky star.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?” Su Mian was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui told her, “I just spoke to Qiaoqiao about this at lunch, and by the evening, the cooperation came through, if she’s not a lucky star, then what is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he paused, then remembered Lu Ting, slightly furrowing his brows, “However, Tingting was there too, she said she has a classmate whose father is a project manager at Tenghui, and she even offered to ask her classmate for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Mian quickly connected the dots and analyzed, “I get it, so it was Tingting’s classmate who helped us from behind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these days, having connections and not having them really makes a difference, and it’s no wonder she thought so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Difficult to say.” Lu Rui remarked, “I’ll ask about it tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian nodded as well and instructed, “If it really was Tingting’s classmate who helped, you should properly thank them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was such a coincidence that he began to suspect, could it really be that Lu Ting’s classmate had made a difference?\u003C\u002Fp>",717,"2026-06-09T06:21:36.108Z",1,"novelbin.me","fec36400a649b050c86c29662191bfa3b813e01fbb2937884cffec36d53da8d4","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-56","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-54",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
