Chapter 59 The Loveliest Shooting Star
Maggie took a moment to ponder before speaking. “We only have three days left to complete the design. It’s impossible to redraw them in such a short time. To win this project, we’ll have to take a risk.”
Both Master Cameron and Ronald quickly grasped her meaning without further explanation.
“Do you mean we have to purchase someone else’s design?” Master Cameron asked cautiously.
Maggie nodded and continued, “We created our designs before bidding, so it’s possible that other participants have done the same. Starting from scratch at this point is not feasible.”
“Moreover, they would have access to precise data for the design, ensuring no data issues.”
Master Cameron and Ronald fell into silence.
Maggie was right. Architectural design requires a scientific and rigorous approach to ensure structural integrity and safety. Mistakes could lead to catastrophic consequences, such as building collapses.
“However, this means that many of the building materials we’ve already purchased will go to waste.” Maggie was confident that the Camerons understood her point.
Previously. Master Cameron had made plans for Joseph to purchase building materials based on her design. However, changing the plan now would result in a significant amount of waste.
Upon hearing this, both Master Cameron and Ronald became quiet and concerned.
The Herschire Cultural Park project was a profitable venture for the Cameron family. However, wasting expensive building materials, especially wood, which is challenging to store, would be a painful loss.
“Whose design do you think we should buy?” Ronald concluded that the building materials would go to waste regardless of whether the Herschire Cultural Park project was successful.
If the project could move forward, some of the materials could still be used, and the income generated. would still make a profit for the Cameron family.
Maggie silently contemplated this suggestion.
After a while, she said, “Royal Construction, Modern Construction, and the Calebs.”
“Two construction companies, Royal Construction and Modern Construction, are participating in the bidding process. However, their conservative leadership may result in outdated and uninspired designs. They may not be willing to offer their designs to us.”
“What about the Calebs?” Ronald asked.
“As far as I know, Leo is in charge of this area in the Calebs. The Calebs want to get into construction, and Leo has many connections. He might be willing to sell us his design.”
Maggie restrained herself from appearing too eager or opportunistic in front of Ronald, as it might make him suspicious.
She was confident that the Cameron family would choose Leo over the other two companies, who had

Master Cameron couldn’t afford to lose face.
Leo was the best choice for the project. He had the support of the Calebs, had no bad blood with the Cameron family, and was most likely to do them a favor.
Maggie wasn’t in a rush and gave Master Cameron and Ronald ample time to consider their options.
If she was going to trap them, she would do it thoroughly.
The Herschire Cultural Park project alone was not enough.
After a while, Ronald made a decision. “Maggie, if you’re available today, can you please arrange a meeting with Leo? I remember that you had some interaction with him at the last banquet. Please find out his asking price and see if it’s within our budget.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange the meeting right away.”
