Chapter 224

Projects like this in the political circles often only invited publicly listed companies to participate in the bidding

Especially for large-scale projects like building a railway station, companies had to go through rigorous evaluations before a final candidate was chosen to take charge. "Ms. Spencer, how did we even qualify to be here! And why are we sitting in the front row Cody asked, following closely behind Ophelia, curiosity written all over his face. That's not your question to ask. I want this project," Ophelia replied.

Ch. what?" Cody was stunned, wondering if he had misheard her. Her tone made it sound as casual as picking out a piece of clothing

In Cody's opinion, with their small firm, taking on a project of this scale seemed far-fetched at best.

"Did you bring what I asked for?" Ophelia asked.

"Quite the coincidence," Cody said, glancing at Andrew's seat in the second-to-last row. "So, you're with Fiorda Group! Just joined and already trusted with a project of this magnitude? Your boss must really value you"

Although Cody found Andrew's arrogant demeanor annoying, he kept his tone polite since they had attended the same
