Qin Tianyi was close to death, and she waited to see how Gu Susu would ruin the Shu Group.
She secretly smiled inwardly, wondering if Shu Zhongze could see such a good show from heaven.
Susu retorted, "Why shouldn't I admit it? Facts are facts, why lie?"
Zhan Jiayi sneered again, "There are many benefits to lying."
As Susu was about to retort, a person in charge asked, "Mrs. Qin, if that's the case, can you show us Mr. Qin's medical examination report?"
"This..." Susu showed a troubled expression again. "I didn't bring it today."
Xie Zhendong let out a cold laugh, clearly thinking she was making excuses.
A person in charge said, "Mrs. Qin, why don't you have someone send over Mr. Qin's medical examination report? I guarantee only a few of us will know, and it will absolutely not be leaked to the outside. We are just trying to ensure this long-planned urban construction project is foolproof."
"Do you have to see it now?" Susu noticed that all the people in charge present, as well as Xie Zhendong and his people, were staring at her.
If she didn't produce Tianyi's medical examination report today, no one would believe what she said.
Xie Zhendong seemed to be in charge, saying, "If you have nothing to hide, why can't you let us see Qin Tianyi's examination report today?"
Susu hesitated, wondering if she should have someone bring Tianyi's discharge summary.
As she was contemplating what to do, Tianyi, who had been standing aside, took off his hat and walked out. He looked at everyone and said, "I am here in person, why do we need any examination reports?"
Everyone looked at him in surprise, none of them expecting him to be at the bidding site.
Xie Zhendong thought he was seeing things and pointed at him, "How is this possible? Aren't you bedridden?"
Tianyi stretched his limbs, looking as if he could fight a tiger alone, showing no signs of illness.
A person in charge who had already sided with their Aoxiang Group knew he didn't have a terminal illness.
He quickly stood up, looked at Tianyi, and said, "Mr. Qin, you look radiant and energetic. It seems your wife was not lying. Then we have nothing to worry about. Since your Aoxiang Group won the bid for this project, we will rely on you from now on."
"Director Cheng, of course. Rest assured," Tianyi said with a smile.
Susu also stood up, walked to his side, linked her arm with his, and looked at Xie Zhendong and Zhan Jiayi, smiling, "I kept explaining that my husband is fine, but you just wouldn't believe me. There's nothing I can do."
Xie Zhendong felt a tightness in his chest and his blood pressure soared. He stared at them and said, "Qin Tianyi, you, you actually played me."
Qin Tianyi smiled and said, "Mr. Xie, how dare I play you? I was indeed unwell a while ago and went to the hospital for a check-up. Fortunately, it was just a minor issue. I don't know why the outside world exaggerated my illness so much. Although Xiao Anjing and my wife have repeatedly explained to the media, no one is willing to believe it. Alas, I am powerless."
Xie Zhendong trembled with anger, trying his best to restrain himself. He spoke in a low voice to the two assistants beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go."
With that, he strode out of the lounge with an extremely unpleasant expression, followed closely by Zhan Jiayi and another assistant.
Tianyi did not forget to shout after his retreating figure, "If Mr. Xie is willing, we can subcontract the landscaping in this project to your Xie Corporation. You have made significant contributions to the construction of the flood control cultural wall."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhendong's face turned even darker, and he left the auditorium without wanting to stay any longer.
At this moment, several people in charge congratulated Qin Tianyi, and they had no objections to the bidding result.
They also agreed to discuss the project details with the city leaders tomorrow morning and have Tianyi give a detailed report on how to implement the project.
Susu and Tianyi happily left the bidding auditorium and got into the car. Tianyi suggested, "Let's go celebrate properly. I'll treat you to a big meal."
"No need. You should reward your group's employees," Susu said, feeling relieved. "With your appearance today, the entire Lancheng will know you are well tomorrow. I won't have to go to Aoxiang Group every day to hold down the fort anymore, and I can finally relax and focus on my own studio."
Tianyi squeezed her face and said, "You've worked hard during this time. If you don't want a big meal, just tell me what gift you want."
"I don't need a gift either," Susu said. "It's a pity Anjing wasn't here when we won the bid today, otherwise, he would have been very excited too."
"Has Anjing found Xiaoxiao yet?" Tianyi asked with regret.
Susu shook her head. "Not yet. I want to go help Anjing find her. One more person means more strength..."
"It's no use for you to go. Even Anjing can't find Xiaoxiao, and you're unfamiliar with the place, so you won't be able to help at all," Tianyi objected.
Susu really wanted to go to Anjing's place and said, "Xiaoxiao's matter has been weighing on my mind. I really want to go there to help Anjing and Lan Yu."
"Don't go join the fun. It's also good that Xiaoxiao is gone," Tianyi said, starting the car.
Susu felt he couldn't say such a thing and said angrily, "Did you want Xiaoxiao to disappear long ago?"
"That's not what I meant," Tianyi explained. "If Anjing can continue to raise Xiaoxiao, it's fate. If she can't be found anymore, it's also destiny. Don't dwell on it too much."
In fact, in his heart, he always felt that Anjing raising Xiaoxiao might not be a good thing. After all, they were all involved in the death of Xiaoxiao's mother. Who could guarantee that Xiaoxiao wouldn't seek revenge for Shu Yan or become their enemy after knowing the truth?
Rather than that, it would be better not to raise Xiaoxiao.
Susu thought he was very cold-blooded and didn't want to talk to him.
Tianyi drove the car all the way, knowing Susu was angry.
He also knew that this thought was a bit cruel to a child, but he had to guard against it.
Anjing's sympathy and affection for Xiaoxiao led him to adopt her as his daughter; that was Anjing's own choice, and he had no right to interfere.
If the adoption could proceed smoothly, he planned to remind Anjing about this matter when Xiaoxiao grew up.
But now, with this unexpected turn of events, the hope of finding Xiaoxiao seemed slim. Perhaps thinking this way would make everyone feel better.
Susu knew that Tianyi had always been wary of Xiaoxiao, otherwise, he wouldn't have objected when she proposed adopting Xiaoxiao.
She also wanted to try to understand his way of thinking. It seemed cold-blooded but rational, yet she still couldn't accept it when faced with specific matters.
Tianyi drove the car to the entrance of a six-star hotel. Not wanting Xiaoxiao's matter to affect their mood, he said to her, "Let's not talk about this today. Let's focus on celebrating. See what surprise I have for you."
