The middle-aged man was none other than Li Qiang, a real estate developer from Haicheng.
Zhou Ying, the strongest competitor, had actually withdrawn from the challenge, allowing Li Qiang to easily clinch the bid for the eastern city plot.
Zhou Ying left with her two assistants, feeling somewhat sour as she watched Li General bask in his moment of glory.
One assistant was visibly grinding his teeth, failing to understand as he said, "General Zhou, we've been preparing for so long just for today, why withdraw now? You just handed Li General the advantage."
Thinking of Bai Chuwei's words, Zhou Ying herself was unsure as she said, "It's not necessarily an advantage yet!"
Zhou Ying led her assistants out, while Li Qiang, brimming with pride, strutted away with his beer belly held out, too high and mighty to even cast a glance at Zhou Ying.
