In an instant, all eyes gathered on Zhang Ling.
The man smiled and stood up, giving a polite bow. "Thank you all for sparing me a way out. You've been kind not to compete with me."
With humor and grace, he extended an available lifeline to the other companies —
"I didn't win because I'm better than you; it's because you showed mercy and didn't compete with me."
With these words, those companies that had a good chance of winning but ultimately didn't have their spirits lifted. They approached with elegance.
"President Zhang, no need to be overly modest. We've all witnessed the remarkable growth of Zhìyì Real Estate in recent years."
"Congratulations, it's well-deserved."
"President Zhang is not only talented but also remarkably humble and composed. Such qualities are rare among the youth."
"We've heard of President Zhang's extraordinary abilities at Zhìyì Real Estate, and today, we've seen that the reputation is well-founded."
