Chapter 698: Chapter 707: Accident (4)

It’s just that, to showcase the "sweet" ending of this movie, perhaps a few very special, short ending clips will be filmed. However, those are just spare-time activities. In fact, you can patch together some old clips as memories, without the need for extra embellishment.

In other words, as soon as tomorrow afternoon, he could leave this godforsaken place and be home by evening.

"Mom, has Dad’s company turned a corner?"

Although Yu Zexiao has indeed been very busy lately, and he has always been somewhat disrespectful when speaking about his father, Yu Jingxi, one could tell that he was deeply concerned about his father, especially as he seemed eager to make his relationship with Jian Anning public but also feared causing his father trouble by doing so.

"The final edits to the bid proposal have been taking place in the past day or two, with the bidding conference scheduled for three days from now."

The water company that Yu Jingxi had his eye on, coincidentally, was state-owned. Although it had been contracted out, as a state-owned enterprise, a formal bidding conference was mandatory.

Yu Jingxi had been frantically busy these past few days because of this water company case. His father had once been a deputy governor and retained considerable connections even after his retirement. Throughout the years, Huanyu Group had been on the rise, fending off many who wished to strike from behind, thanks to his own strength and the lingering influence of his father, Yu Shenglin.

However, it seemed that the rival company he was up against this time had a similar background—and if he wasn’t mistaken, their connections were in the import-export trade sector.

With money and power at their disposal, Yu Jingxi had not encountered such thorny opposition in a long time. However, in recent interactions, he sensed that the rival company might be biting off more than it could chew.

After all, merely purchasing a water company would require a minimum of ten billion RMB. Coupled with costs for technology upgrades, subsequent construction, adequate resettlement of the existing workforce, plus the expenses from his previous technology purchases, acquiring the entire company wouldn’t be possible without spending nearly thirty billion.

Such a large expenditure wasn’t beyond the reach of those within Huaxia Country or even the world at large, but finding someone willing to throw thirty billion into the fray to compete with him was truly a challenge.

Moreover...

Even if this water company was not an option, thanks to the last incident with water treatment technologies, he had already prepared an alternative plan—

The second option for a water company might have inferior equipment, smaller area, worse location, and a significantly reduced treatment capacity compared to the first option, but it had a significant advantage—the vicinity included a highway and an undeveloped primeval forest. If utilized well, it could even develop into a tourism project.

Of course, barring any surprises, the first option would naturally be more suitable for his selection, but if the other party really had malicious intentions...

Then he would have to see if they truly had the capability to swallow such a large cake!

Of course, Yu Jingxi wouldn’t share these details with his naïve son.

Nonetheless, Yu Zexiao still overheard this news from his mother, indicating that the situation wasn’t very optimistic.

"Then... Dad, he won’t..." Yu Zexiao’s voice trembled even as he spoke.
