Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 300

The bidding was already halfway through. Everyone present today had their own goals.

Only a tiny portion of the invitee at the bidding had come for Crossley Group's project, while the vast majority had other plans.

Therefore, there weren't many genuine bidders. The bids were all very high, but the plans were average as if they wanted to ruthlessly skin Crossley Group alive.

When everyone thought Crossley Group would decline, a company came up with an exquisite plan at a reasonable price.

For a while, everyone discussed it. They did not expect there was actually a company that would be willing to work with Crossley Group at this time.

However, Aidan was not surprised as he thoughtfully tapped his knees with his fingers.

Lloyd turned around to look, then asked the assistant in a low voice, "What is this company's background? Why are they not on the tender list?"

The assistant answered, "Complex Group is a famous company abroad that cooperated with Pearson Group not long ago. Their person in charge, William Morris, is here at Highside to seek cooperation as well. The group probably decided to come to the bidding at the last minute, so they weren't recorded on the tender list."

Upon hearing that, Lloyd looked toward the other end of the venue.

William met his gaze with a nod and a smile.

The assistant continued, "Complex Group has had the idea of expanding into the domestic market for the past two years and has been working on it. The cooperation with Pearson Group is just the beginning, and I think the group wants to take advantage of Crossley Group to expand into the domestic market with the bidding this time."

Lloyd said, "First the Pearson Group, and now the Crossley Group. He's rather ambitious."

If he is trying to expand into a new market, there is nothing wrong with collaborating with two big companies one after another. However, his purpose would be too obvious if he had other ideas.

Lloyd instructed, "Go check out the company's details and the man
