447: Chapter 447: Unprecedented pressure on the eve of a sleepless night!

Wu Jie gave a light smile.

“I know you’re shy and feeling very heavy-hearted tonight, so I won’t force you.

Hurry up and wash up for bed!”

“Sleep?

As soon as I close my eyes, all I can think about is what bid to offer.

We only have a one-percent lead; if the bid isn’t cautious, all will be in vain!” Tang Xiao sighed.

Wu Jie said gently,

“Haven’t I told you?

Don’t think about anything, I will go and make the bid for you tomorrow!”

Tang Xiao pursed her lips and was silent for two seconds.

“I actually know what you’re thinking!”

“If we win the bid, of course everyone will be overjoyed, but if we don’t, whether it’s me or someone else, everyone will blame and resent you!”

“You’re taking the risk and the blame for me, letting me, even if I have regrets, only blame your inaccurate bid and not hate myself.”

With Tang Xiao’s intelligence, she of course knew Wu Jie was doing this for her good.

The significance of this project had already exceeded the realm of financial benefits.

After the ‘”peak showdown”‘ during the day, all three giants had been defeated.

This would inevitably cause Western countries to feel more fearful and angry.

The intensity of their bullying and oppression would absolutely increase like never before.

Online, millions of netizens were up all night.

No longer just discussing how beautifully the ‘battle of the century’ was won, everyone was brainstorming and fervently discussing how to make the bid.

The situation was extremely complicated, with the scores of the four companies so close, all having a chance to win the bid.

Therefore, the three giants might continue to collude, or they might fall out.

They might also worry about Tang Xiao making a low bid.

There were too many uncertainties, leaving the netizens as excited as if they were on a high, heatedly discussing.

And this was enough to show how much the citizens hoped to achieve a ‘completely successful’ victory over the three giants!

Against such a backdrop of public opinion,

It didn’t matter who made the bid, they would have to endure tremendous pressure.

It’s like the World Cup final, in the last moments of overtime, having the chance to score a penalty.

If the ball goes in, winning the match and the championship, naturally it’s a national celebration, a joy for all.

But if…

If it’s missed, it would inevitably lead to severe criticism and furious scolding.

They might even be labeled as ‘culprits.’

Such psychological pressure is definitely not something that the average person can bear.

There have been news reports that players who missed a penalty in important matches suffered from depression afterwards, and even a lack of spirit, indicating just how crushing this psychological pressure can be.

“Alright!”

Wu Jie smiled calmly, “Stop overthinking it and get to sleep now!”

“But I still can’t sleep!” Tang Xiao muttered in a low voice.

Hmph!

Wu Jie immediately got out of bed, turned on the light, and took out silver needles and iodine from his suitcase.

“What… what are you doing?

My period isn’t hurting!

I don’t want to feel that weird sensation; do you think I’m Tang Xin, that crazy girl?”

Tang Xiao panicked, fearing that Wu Jie would give her acupuncture and she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself from making strange noises.

“You’re overthinking it!

I’m just relieving your stress so you can get a good night’s sleep,” Wu Jie reassured her.

After disinfecting, Wu Jie instructed while holding the silver needle: “Lie flat, close your eyes, and relax your body.”

“Then… let me take a shower first!”

Tang Xiao quickly found her pajamas and rushed to shower and change.

Wu Jie waited after disinfecting, and once Tang Xiao came back and lay down, he focused on performing the acupuncture to help her relax.

The silver needles slowly pierced in.

Tang Xiao felt they were different from the previous acupuncture points.

In the past, most of them were on the abdomen and limbs, but this time they were mainly focused on the head.

Before long,

Tang Xiao felt as if she had fallen into a sponge.

Soft, warm.

Her body felt light and breezy, as if it had lost all weight.

This comfortable sensation gradually relaxed her and she became indulged in it.

Soon after, she fell into a sweet sleep.

Wu Jie stayed by the bedside, and after Tang Xiao had fully fallen asleep, he removed the needles, covered her with a blanket, and then lay down on the bed to ponder.

Even if it was not to satisfy the hatred of the three giants or to please millions of people, just to make the woman he loved happy, he had to win the project tomorrow!

…

The night was deep.

Tonight, many were destined to have a sleepless night.

Just as Wu Jie had anticipated,

The three giants had colluded once again; their executives had met for discussions until two in the morning.

For this project, they had all spent a lot, and each had a possibility of winning the bid.

Nobody wanted to give up easily.

But in the end, there can only be one victor.

What should they do?

Someone suggested arranging for one company to win the tender, then signing a subcontract in private to let everyone participate and make money from both the current and the next phase of the project.

However, this proposal was rebuffed because network communication engineering isn’t like road or bridge construction; it’s not possible to split it into sections for everyone to work on and simply join them together in the end for use.

Different equipment and software systems chosen by each company, aiming for compatibility—isn’t so easy, is it?

Fear stirs that just negotiating whose equipment and software to use in what areas would lead to countless disputes, increase costs, and ultimately grief the client.

Yet someone else argued that since everyone has a chance to win the bid, why collude at all?

Why not just submit individual bids and leave it to luck?

Besides, their sudden lack of collusion would be totally unexpected, catching others off guard.

After a heated discussion, the senior executives of the three corporate giants all agreed with the second opinion.

Because this way, it is relatively fair for everyone, and it would lead to fewer troubles in the future.

But then…

After two o’clock, internal meetings started again within each company, and they all began to worry about how much they should actually bid.

The Tanglong Industrial Group had a cost advantage, and even a slight edge in scoring.

Should they engage in a price war?

But if the bid was too low, it would become invalid, and that would be tragic!

…

That night.

Many of the elite from the three giants truly killed scores of brain cells.

None had dreamt that the Tanglong Industrial Group, who were more eager to win and hoped to be awarded the contract, surprisingly didn’t pull an all-nighter!

The senior management of the group had already seen through it.

Unable to exert any influence domestically, they let Tang Xiao handle it directly.

Wu Jie took the initiative to take responsibility and helped Tang Xiao to sleep by administering acupuncture.

So…

Last night was a good sleep.

Since going abroad, Tang Xiao felt she finally had a good night’s rest.

The kind of deep sleep where you fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes and wake up at dawn feeling revitalized is the best for nourishing both body and mind.

Upon waking, she felt exceptionally refreshed.

She sat up in bed and stretched languidly.

Tang Xiao tilted her neck back and took a deep breath.

With a smile, she turned her head to wake Wu Jie.

But not wanting to speak, she simply kicked him twice with her foot.

“Damn it!

Are you trying to kick me to death?”

“Who told you to sleep like a big lazy pig?

If I don’t wake you, who knows what time you’d sleep until!”

Just then, a knock came from the door.

Knock knock knock!

“President Tang, Mr.

Wu!

Time to get up for breakfast and prepare to leave!”

The voice of Cai Xu sounded from outside the door.

“Got it!”

Wu Jie raised his head and shouted towards the door.

Tang Xiao took this opportunity to swiftly grab her formal clothes like a nimble cat and darted off to the ensuite bathroom.

“Geez!

You run so fast; do you really think I’m so desperate?”

Wu Jie sighed as he slowly got out of bed to get ready.

…

Outside the door.

Cai Xu, with panda eyes, smeared on some refreshing oil to forcibly perk himself up!

Having not slept all of last night, he was really terribly worried and anxious!

As the door opened.

Cai Xu was momentarily startled.

What’s the situation?

He had expected that Tang Xiao, from staying up all night, would show signs of dark circles, dull skin, and a sallow complexion.

But what was the actual result?

Her features were as exquisite as a painting, with bright eyes and white teeth.

Her gaze was clear and spirited, and most importantly, her skin was delicate and glowing, her brows tinged with joy.

Wow!

President Tang, sweetened by love, sure was a refreshing sight!

Moving his gaze away, Cai Xu confidently stated:

“President Tang, Mr.

Wu, the motorcade is ready.

After we eat, we can head straight to the International Conference Center!”
