Chapter 4

When it came to the day of bidding, I led the team there myself.

At the entrance of the assembly hall, I saw Ethan, who was condescending.

"Mr. Anderson, I'm so confident in this bid that you shouldn't compete with me."

"Well, I don't know why you're so confident in your crappy company." I looked at Ethan with disdain.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Ethan seemed to say something, but he held his tongue.

I ignored him and went straight in with my staff.

The bidding started soon after.

The price of those lots our company bid on was the same as in the bid document.

Ethan looked so smug as if she had gotten the lot in Blanton.

It wasn't until the bidding for the lot in Blanton began that Ethan looked like he was going to win. Without waiting for the other companies to call out the price, he just called out the price in the bid document Nora had given him.

Then, Ethan looked at me smugly.

When Ethan called out the price, the other companies were silent. After all, the Anderson Group wasn't that simple.

Until the bidding session was almost over, I raised my hand and said calmly, "I'm asking for a capital check. Given the size of the Murphy Group, I don't think he has the funds to pay the deposit on the lot in Blanton."

In my previous life, his security deposit was paid for by Nora with my money.

Ethan didn't expect me to do that, so he looked humiliated.

My proposal was almost approved by all the companies present.

After the organizer's capital verification, Ethan's company truly didn't have enough liquidity to pay the deposit.

In the end, the Murphy Group was disqualified from bidding, and the bid for the lot in Blanton was canceled.

As for why a company as large as Ethan's could participate in the bidding, it would not be my concern anymore.

Ethan was waiting for me at the door as I walked out with my staff.

"Zachary, I didn't expect you to use such a trick. I know you're jealous of me because of Nora, but you can't use this trick, and Nora will get upset when she finds out."

I didn't say anything as I watched his righteous indignation.

Perhaps Ethan thought I was scared, so he continued to push his luck. "Why don't you give me the lot in Blanton at the next bidding and help me pay for it? It would be best if the Anderson Group worked with my company on a few more projects to get mine growing. I'll consider speaking up for you in front of Nora.

"How was it? Good deal, huh?"

By the time Ethan finished speaking, I had just finished replying to George's message.

Seeing that I ignored him, Ethan seemed to feel humiliated, so he shouted angrily, "Zachary, did you hear me?"

"Is that all?" I asked calmly.

Ethan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, "It would be perfect if you give me another five percent of shares in the Anderson Group."

Look at his condescending attitude, as if I owed him billions of dollars.

"Just daydream for now." With that, I turned around and left.

As I walked, I wondered why I was so stupid in my previous life to be fooled by someone like Ethan.
