Heart Hunting novel Chapter 100

It is a sunny afternoon. However, in the Greens corporate, it is stormy.

Bryant returns to the company with a gloomy face. He walks all the way back to the president’s office. He is so angry that every one quickly leaves the area that he’s in after greeting him.

When he passes by the secretariat, a new secretary knocks over a pile of papers by mistakes. Bryant stops to stare at her and criticizes her. “What’s wrong with you?”

The secretary suddenly turns back and is frightened by him. She is too scared to speak loudly, “I’m...I’m sorry...”

“You’re not qualified. You’re fired!” Bryant is not happy to see anyone now.

The little secretary is so afraid that she kneels down.

The secretary general shakes her head. How poor this girl is to hit the gun at this moment.

The project manager and the chief engineer behind Bryant take a look at each other. They are both upset, because they know the disaster will come to them next.

They walks into the president’s office. The assistant hurriedly closes the door and leave them alone in the office.

As soon as the door closed, Bryant shouts with anger, “what’s wrong exactly?”

He sits on the chair and frowns. The anger in his eyes is like fire burning, as if he’s going to burn the two men aside.

The manager and the chief engineer are also too frightened to say a word. For several times, the manager wants to speak, but he doesn’t actually say anything when he sees Bryant’s gloomy face.

“peter, you tell me.” Bryant pokes the tender plan with his power, as if he’s going to poke a hole in the tender.

After they lose Dakings, Bryant changes the development plan of the company to rely on the new project of G.I. He thought at first that it was supposed to be a complete success. But the result of the bidding this morning surprise him.

X company gives a slightly higher price than them, so it gets the project successfully.

The project manager licks his dried-up lips and says, “Mr. Green, perhaps we are just not in a good luck this time.”

Bryant is not satisfied with his conclusion. “Luck? So it’s because of luck that you get your present position? Does that mean I can fire you just because you’re unlucky?”

He almost roars, which makes the chief engineer bows his head for fear.

“No. Mr. Green, just think about it. Our offer is just a little bit less than X company’s. We’ve work so hard on this plan to make sure every detail is perfect. I think...”

Before the manager finishes, Bryant cuts it. “Then what do you think the reason we fail this time?”

“We fail just because that little difference of the price. If we can lower it a little bit...” Bryant’s expression turns calmer and calmer as he says. The manager smiles and continues, “but we didn’t expected that X company would offer such a price.”

Bryant hums. He has calmed down a little. Then he feels something is wrong when he thinks about it again. He looks at the manager and the chief engineer, and his eyes become sharp. “Is there a mole in our company?”

His tone is creepy. The engineer is surprised by his words. “Mr. Green, do you doubt that...”

The manager says surely, “it’s impossible. The plan must never be leaked.”

“If not, why is the price and plan given by X company so similar to ours? Bryant questions angrily.

The engineer adds, “even the cost budget, quotations and service items are almost the same with ours. And those detailed plans like the shipping time are even more detailed than ours.”

“Only the senior executives in our company know the detail of our plan. They are all the mainstays of this company, how would they betray us?” The manager says surely.

“But if it’s not, why would the two plans so similar?” Bryant still has the strange feeling.

For a moment, they all fall silent. Just then the secretary walks in nervously and whispers to Bryant. “Mr. Green, Mrs. Green is here.”

Referring to Hilda, Bryant feel more tired. Before he gives the secretary instruction, Hilda has already came in. “I heard that we failed in the bidding?”

She’s like sending a punitive expedition. The manager and the engineer greet her right away. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Green.”

Bryant says to the others, “leave us alone.”

The others nod and leave in a hurry.

Hilda’s arrival is also a chance for them to escape the “battleground”.

After they leave, Hilda asks, “what’s going on?” She heard the bad news when she is at home. So she hurries to the company. She knows that the company is focusing on the project. The failure of the bid is a top priority.

Bryant sighs, “X company got the project.”

“But you said that our proposal is almost perfect.” Hilda is confused. Bryant has been busy with this project plan these days. How come the result would be like this?

“The proposal of X company is similar to ours, even more perfect than ours. Their offer is lower than ours. The profit is just right to beat us.” Bryant also didn’t expect this to happen.

Hilda catches the key words. “Their proposal is similar to ours?”
