Chapter 973 The Wilkie Group's bid price had already been slashed to the bone. Lowering it further would mean winning the project at a loss.

Jane dialed Pedro's number and quietly explained the situation.

After a brief silence, Pedro said firmly, "This is the lowest we can go. Don't drop the price any further. A project that loses money isn't worth taking on." "Understood," she replied, though her expression darkened once she hung up.

She had spent over a month leading her team through grueling overtto prepare for this bid. Before arriving that day, she'd promised them bonuses and a celebratory dinner if they won.

Now, the odds didn't look good.

She sighed in disappointment at the thought.

Beside her, Gabriel noticed her mood and spoke gently to comfort her. "Don't worry, Jane. Just because those companies underbid the Wilkie Group doesn't mean they'll win. The Wilkie Group's reputation is much stronger than theirs." The lower bids cfrom smaller companies, desperate for the project and willing to sacrifice profit margins. But slashing costs too much would inevitably harm the quality of the work.

Jane pressed her lips together and remained silent.

The process soon moved into the second round of bidding.

The Wilkie Group held firm to their original price, while nearly every other company lowered their bids even further. Even the lowest bidder from the first round shaved an additional 30,000 dollars off their price, leaving no room for profit.

Jane's face grew grim as frustration and reluctance settled in.

Gabriel tried to soothe her again, but she cut him off sharply, "Enough. I don't want to hear any more useless talk." "Jane, I know you're upset, but the final result hasn't been announced yet. Don't lose hope," Gabriel coaxed. She shot him an icy glare. "It's easy for you to say. You weren't the one working overtfor over a month. You wouldn't understand how I feel." Gabriel met her gaze calmly, his voice steady. "You think I don't understand? I built that gaming company from the ground up and ran it for years, only to have it sold off in an instant because Grandpa decided it had to go to save the Wilkie Group." Jane scowled "What are you trying to say? That company was the Wilkie Group's to begin with. Selling it to save the Wilkie Group was the right thing to do. Don't tellyou worked there for a few years and thought it belonged to you." Her scornful words hit like a slap. Gabriel lowered his gaze, remaining silent, though a flicker of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Ignoring him, Jane focused anxiously on waiting for the results.

Waylon soon returned to the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. After a meticulous evaluation process, we have the results. I shall now announce the winning bidder." en The room fell silent, everyone's attention fixed on Waylon.

He continued with a smile. "I am honored to announce that the m winning bidder for the Mosaic Date Mall project is... the Wilkie Group! Let's give them a big round of applause!"

Cheers erupted, and Jane sat frozen for a moment before her face lit up with disbelief and joy. The Wilkie Group had won!

The rush of excitement left her dizzy. Her earlier frustration and despair vanished in an instant.
