Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Very Insecure_1
Ye Lu, as if struck by a lightning bolt, no longer showing any trace of the previous excitement, stood there in shock.
He was pale and unable to accept what had just happened.
The entire team of FSA Company was also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief at this verdict.
"How is this possible? We performed so well, but we were eliminated in the first round."
Other bidding companies present were both enjoying FSA’s misfortune and feeling puzzled. FSA Company had performed well and was actually quite strong. It was incredibly unlucky that they were kicked out. There must be some hidden factors at play.
The representatives of FSA Company felt wronged, but despite their dissatisfaction, no one dared to challenge the result.
The crowd left the meeting center, all looking dejected.
"I still don’t understand. Even if our performance wasn’t the best, it was still very good. Why didn’t our company make it through?" one representative spoke up, looking indignant.
The others also expressed their discontent.
"Yeah, many companies with poorer strength and performance got through. What exactly are Tian Kun Company’s judgment criteria?"
"Before we went on stage, I saw Third Young Master Jun and people from Tian Kun Company showing satisfaction. Why did they suddenly change their minds?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lu felt guilty. She had an intuition that their failure was due to her!
Could it be that Third Young Master Jun saw through her and intentionally humiliated her by deliberately not allowing their company to advance?
Her heart sank, and she clenched her fists in anger. Third Young Master Jun was such a petty man, to take revenge on her and cost FSA Company an important bidding opportunity.
"Alright, whatever the outcome, it’s all set now. Let’s not discuss it privately, we can’t afford to offend the Jun Family." Director Li was also disappointed, "I’ll ask someone I know in Tian Kun to see if we made any mistakes."
The others immediately stopped complaining.
Ye Lu bit her lip, nervously asking Director Li, "Will the boss blame us for this failure?"
Director Li sighed, "Of course. The boss took this bid very seriously and we put a lot of effort and resources into preparing. We had high hopes. It’s inexcusable that we didn’t even make it past the first round. The boss will definitely be furious."
Ye Lu was trembling, "What should we do? This wasn’t because our performance was poor!"
"The boss only cares about results, not the process. But don’t worry, I’m the leader and I am responsible for the entire team. If there’s any blame to bear, it will be on me, not on you. Alright, I should leave now."
Director Li left with a despondent look on his face.
One section chief watched Director Li’s downcast figure and sympathetically commented:
"The boss was really optimistic about Director Li. If the bidding was successful, he was going to be promoted to the Vice President of the company. But now he has failed so terribly, eliminated in the first round. The boss is definitely going to be furious. Not only will Director Li miss this chance of promotion, he may even lose his current position. That’s really unfortunate!"
Ye Lu was stunned, she had no idea the failed bid could impact Director Li so severely.
She was even angrier at Third Young Master Jun, he had been disproportionally ruthless.
It was her who had jeopardized Director Li’s career, and she felt deeply guilty for this.
She clenched her teeth and asked the others, "I heard there will be a banquet after the meeting. Where is it held?"
"Right, it will be held on the 28th floor’s western restaurant in the hotel. But only companies that made it through the first round are invited to go. Eh, why do you ask?"
Before they could finish speaking, they saw Ye Lu had already disappeared at the hotel entrance.
