Chapter 141 I Would Make Walter Marry Me 

Before I could ask, Olivia said, “Tabatha, I’ve heard some news. It’s about several new projects that River City is about to develop. It seems that the city government has marked off some land in the south of the city, planning to move there and start construction next spring. They are currently preparing to tender.” 

A new project? 

I paused, looking at her and asked, “Where did you get this news?” River City was only so big, and the Conner Group had been surviving in River City for decades. Although it had encountered many problems recently, it still had a good understanding of many things. Logically, if there were new projects in the city, the company should have heard about it a long time ago. However, Alexander and I just found out about this, which made me somewhat surprised. 

” 

“I heard it from my uncle,” Olivia began, continuing, “He works at the city hall. I went to their house for dinner last night, and he mentioned. the project funding at the dinner table. I remembered that Alexander had mentioned finding a project for the Conner Group before, so I specifically came to talk to you guys about it.” 

After speaking, she looked at Alexander, her delicate little face showing an unstoppable infatuated expression. 

Alexander probably couldn’t stand her infatuated expression, he avoided her gaze and looked at me, saying, “If what she said is true, then we can try to compete for these projects.” 

I nodded, looking at Olivia, “Have you inquired about the bidding. time?”

Olivia shook his head, “I didn’t ask.” 

Alexander said, “This isn’t difficult. Since it’s a municipal government bid, it will definitely be open for bidding. We can prepare in advance, it won’t be hard to find out the time and place.” 

I slightly furrowed my brows, momentarily uncertain. 

Seeing that I was silent, Alexander asked, “Is there a problem?” 

I hesitated for a moment, then replied, “I was thinking, this matter might not be as simple as we imagined. The projects that start after the New Year, logically, should have been open for bidding at least half a year in advance. But we only heard a bit of news from Olivia now, which indicates that these projects might have already been taken. By the time the official bidding announcement is released, it might just be a formality. If we go, we might just be cannon fodder.” 

Alexander slightly furrowed his brows, “I really overlooked this operation in the country.” 

I took a slight breath, this was an open secret, everyone wanted a money-making project, but there were only so many projects available. Whether you could get one or not, depended on how strong your connections were. 

Nothing could ever be completely fair and just, the so-called open bidding was just to make it seem fair to the layman on the surface. 

After a moment of silence, I looked at Olivia and said, “Olivia, could you do us a favor and find out the specific time of the tender, as well as who is the main person in charge of this project?” 

“Alright, I’ll ask my uncle about it,” Olivia agreed. 

After discussing matters, Olivia and Alexander ordered food, and I got up to go to the restroom.
