The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Why, Ethan Knight (5)

Bruce was startled for a moment before he quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, you’re right. I’ll have it arranged so that Galerprises won’t have any chance,” he replied. “You’re getting smarter now, Alice. The tender submission will begin in two hours. I still have to make some preparations, so I’ve got to go.” At this moment, he was still gazing at Alice affectionately, but he no longer mentioned the subject of marrying her. Obviously, he was going to turn his back on her before he even succeeded in getting what he wanted.

Alice sneered inwardly. Can he be even more disgusting than this? Well, this is a good thing, anyway. Had he not been so despicable and greedy, my plan wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. She had spent seven years making the arrangements. At first, she had wanted to find more evidence, so she mustn’t rush to catch the bad guys. However, now that there was a new turn of events on Charles’ side, she could be even more ruthless toward the Yeager Corp, by which time she would let both sides fight each other to make it easier for her to find more evidence.

When the tender submission began two hours later, Bruce entered the hall with a swagger. He already had everything arranged so that Galerprises, which was supposed to submit its tender document before him, would do so after him instead. As long as he announced his bid first, Galerprises would have no choice but to admit defeat and watch him secure the project.

It was useless even if there were people involved who knew the contents of Galerprises’ tender document. After all, their having read the document couldn’t be considered as evidence. Even if everyone knew that the tender document in his hands was originally Galerprises’ own, no one would have proof of it. As long as he announced his bid first, he would definitely get chosen first, unless Galerprises could come up with an even better tender document. However, that was totally impossible, so he was feeling smug right now.

When it was finally his turn, he had his project manager announce his bid. Seeing the visible change in Archie’s countenance, he almost laughed out loud right away. Archie seemed anxious and panicky; it seemed that Galerprises could only be eliminated.

After Bruce’s project manager announced his bid, it was clear that the personnel involved were satisfied. They had a look of approval on their faces, while the representatives of other companies taking part in the tender submission looked all envious..

Bruce darted a glance at Archie. In the end, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smug smile.

Just then, Archie stood up instantly. “I have something to say,” he said. “Mr. Yeager’s tender document is a carbon copy of Galerprises’ own. I’m now accusing him of stealing trade secrets.”

“Ha!” Bruce laughed at once. “Archie, how dare you accuse me of stealing your trade secret? That’s my line! You’ve got to have proof to back up your accusations, or I can sue you for slander!”

Archie looked at him with a triumphant smile. “Sorry, but I do have proof of it. My company just had the tender document in your hands notarized yesterday, and here’s the notarial deed. Would you like to take a look at it, Mr. Yeager?”

Bruce was instantly stupefied. Who on earth would have a tender document notarized? No, wait a minute. Tender documents have to be kept confidential in the first place, yet Archie actually had the tender document notarized? Is he crazy?

It couldn’t be more obvious that he was showing off. Would we be short of these documents with Alice’s help? What a joke! “As for the tender document that we’re going to submit, it’s even better and more accurate, of course.” He took out another tender document and even purposely waved it in front of Bruce. “Mr. Yeager, if you wanted to steal our tender document, you should’ve stolen something better. The one you’d stolen was so bad that we even considered it too hard to be used as toilet paper.”
