Medea returned to the conference hall with her makeup impeccably done, a poised smile back on her face.

As soon as she sat down, Xander sent her a message saying he’d ordered champagne to celebrate.

Medea replied, “Why go to such trouble?”

Xander answered, “I’m no longer the ‘poor student‘ I once was, you don’t need to worry about my money.”

Medea chuckled at his response, “Who told you to hide it from me back then?”

Lander replied, “If I hadn’t hidden it, how would I know you’re such a kind–hearted senior?”

Medea smiled knowingly, putting away her phone and focusing on waiting for the bidding results.

With a haughty demeanor, Medea turned her gaze away and quietly asked Regina, “When will my father get here?”

With all the important people supporting her, Meden felt completely at ease.

She had pre–ordered them, hoping to be the first to send Medea congratulatory flowers after the results were announced.

Not far away, a man carrying a large bouquet of sunflowers was walking towards her.

Vivian muttered, “I didn’t order sunflowers. Did the vendor make a mistake?”

Just as she was wondering, the man holding the sunflowers walked up to her.

When Vivian recognized the man’s face, she was stunned and speechless.

But the man didn’t even glance at her; he walked straight towards the conference hall.

Vivian quickly sent Medea a message.

Cousin! I just saw Josh walking in with a huge bouquet of sunflowers into the bidding conference!”

Medea was focused on the results and didn’t see the message.

At this moment, the staff began announcing the results.

t that very moment, Caesar called, asking about the results of the bidding.

e also mentioned that he had booked a restaurant and invited Calvin for dinner, planning to celebrate with the family.

egina’s face completely darkened after hearing this, and without saying another word, she hung up the phone.

fter Regina left, Medea’s already difficult expression grew even darker.

he had worked tirelessly for this project, attending numerous social gatherings and handling various obligations, only to face this outcome.

What are you still standing here for? Don’t you think this is embarrassing enough?” Regina scolded coldly before leaving.

ledea chased after her but ran into Josh, who was holding a huge bouquet of sunflowers at the door.

ledea had been with Josh for seven years, so Regina naturally recognized him.

eeing him waiting at the door with a huge bouquet of sunflowers, she was momentarily puzzled and turned to look at Medea.

ledea turned her face away.

I this moment, Eliza and her group also came out of the conference hall.

He was also an investor in the project, and Eliza regularly gave him work updates, so she knew he was supposed to be abroad at the moment.

Seeing him holding sunflowers in front of her, she was truly taken aback.

“How could I miss such an important occasion?” Josh said as he handed the carefully prepared sunflowers to Eliza. “Congratulations, you’re going to the next

level.”

“Thank you.”

Eliza smiled brightly as she received the bouquet and told Josh, “Let’s have dinner tonight. My treat!”

Josh looked a little regretful. “You can owe me this meal. When I return, we’ll have a proper dinner together.”

‘Are you busy?”

Yes, the negotiations aren’t finished, and I need to return to continue them.”

He had come back during a break in the negotiations, taking a flight just to celebrate with Eliza.

After delivering his congratulations, he had to rush back without any spare time.

Then I won’t delay you. Work is more important. After you’re done, I’ll treat you to a proper meal,” Eliza promised.

Okay.”
