The first rays of morning light shone through the French window onto Su Li's slightly tired face. She rubbed her sore eyes and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. Gu Jinyan had fallen asleep on the table, with a trace of fatigue between his brows. Even in his sleep, he held her hand tightly. Su Li felt warm in her heart, gently pulled her hand away, and put a coat on him.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's cell phone vibrated, breaking the brief silence in the office. He woke up immediately, picked up the phone, saw that the caller ID showed that it was from his assistant, and answered the call.

"Mr. Gu, our competitor's bid has already been submitted. Should we submit it now as well?" There was a hint of anxiety in the assistant's voice.

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone and looked at Su Li, with a complex emotion in his eyes, "Time is running out, we should also submit the plan."

Su Li nodded, sorted out the final version of the bidding plan, and handed it to Gu Jinyan, "I believe our efforts will not be in vain."

Gu Jinyan took the plan with a firm look in his eyes, "Let's go and welcome the victory that belongs to us."

However, just as they were about to set off, Gu Jinyan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a chart in the plan, "Wait, this chart..." His brows furrowed slightly and his fingers tapped lightly on the chart.

Su Li followed his gaze and found the problem. This chart was about project cost analysis. Although the data was detailed and the logic was clear, it always felt lacking in persuasiveness.

"I've looked at the competitor's proposal," Gu Jinyan said after a moment's hesitation, "Their cost control is lower than we expected. If we can't come up with stronger evidence in this regard, I'm afraid..."

"I'll look for relevant industry data support," Su Li made a prompt decision, "Maybe we can start with cost structure and market trends to find a breakthrough."

The two of them acted separately, and Su Li quickly contacted the company's document clerk Xiao Li and asked him to help find relevant information. Time passed by minute by minute, and a tense atmosphere spread in the office.

"Director Su, I found the information you wanted!" Xiao Li came running over breathlessly, holding a thick industry report in his hand. "This is the latest release. Please see if it is useful."

Su Li took the report and flipped through it quickly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed to a page of data and said, "This is it! This report mentions that the latest technology application can effectively reduce project costs. We can add this highlight to the plan."

Gu Jinyan also came over and studied the report carefully, a smile gradually appeared on his face, "Okay, it's timely! We will add this content in right away."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan immediately plunged into the intense revision work. They cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding, as if they had forgotten the time and fatigue. They had only one goal in mind: to make their plan more perfect.

As night fell, the lights in the office were still on. Su Li stretched and looked at the revised plan with a satisfied smile on her face. "Finally finished..." she said softly.

"It's not over yet," Gu Jinyan closed his laptop, his eyes gleaming with determination, "The final bid evaluation will be conducted tomorrow, and we must be fully prepared." He looked at Su Li and said seriously, "Notify all project team members to hold a meeting in the conference room at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, the conference room was packed with people, and the project team members looked serious, waiting for the final sprint. Su Li and Gu Jinyan carefully explained the revised plan and rehearsed possible questions.

"The strength of our competitors this time should not be underestimated. They have been preparing for this project for a long time," Gu Jinyan said calmly as he glanced at everyone. "We can't let our guard down. We must be fully prepared."

In the following period, the team members, led by Su Li and Gu Jinyan, conducted multiple simulation demonstrations and internal reviews of the bidding plan to ensure its feasibility and competitiveness. Every detail was repeatedly scrutinized in an effort to achieve excellence.

At the same time, the rival company also got the news of Gujia's latest plan. They originally thought that Gujia would not make major adjustments to the plan in such a short time. However, when they saw the final version submitted by Gujia, they were shocked.

“Impossible! How do they know the latest industry data?” an executive from a rival company roared in disbelief.

It turned out that in order to prevent Gu's company from winning the bid, they secretly bribed an employee of Gu's company in an attempt to obtain the latest information on the plan. However, they never expected that Gu Jinyan had already noticed the anomaly within the company, secretly set a trap, deliberately released false information, and finally successfully misled the opponent.

"It seems that we won this time." Gu Jinyan looked at the panicked reaction of the rival company and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, he knew very well that the real battle had just begun.

On the day of the bid evaluation, the atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and serious. The bid evaluation experts looked focused, flipping through the proposals in their hands and whispering to each other from time to time.

"Mr. Gu, Director Su, regarding the cost control issue mentioned in your proposal..." One of the experts put down the documents in his hand and looked at Su Li and Gu Jinyan sharply, "We have some questions that need your answers..." The bid evaluation expert stared at Su Li and Gu Jinyan with a sharp gaze, and asked in a serious tone: "Your proposal mentioned that the latest technology application can effectively reduce project costs, but according to our understanding, this technology is not yet fully mature. How can you ensure its actual application effect in the project? If there are technical risks, how will you deal with it?"

Su Li took a deep breath and replied calmly: "The problem you mentioned was considered by our team at the beginning of the design. We plan to cooperate deeply with the R&D company of this technology and arrange special training for the core members of the project to ensure the smooth application of the technology. At the same time, we have also reserved sufficient risk reserves to ensure the smooth progress of the project even if technical risks arise."

Another expert also raised doubts: "Your solution is indeed very advantageous in terms of cost control, but can the quality of the project be guaranteed? After all, cost control and project quality are often two aspects that need to be weighed."

This time, Gu Jinyan answered: "We always believe that cost control and project quality are not contradictory, but complementary. We will strictly follow industry standards and specifications for project construction, and introduce a third-party supervision mechanism to ensure that project quality meets or even exceeds expected goals. We believe that cost control is meaningful only when project quality is guaranteed."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan responded calmly, using their professional knowledge and sincere attitude to win the recognition of the bid evaluation experts. In the end, Gu's company's bid received unanimous praise from the experts and was successfully selected as the final candidate.

"Congratulations, your proposal is excellent." After announcing the results, the director of the bid evaluation committee said to Su Li and Gu Jinyan, "I hope you can bring us more surprises in the final bidding process."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation. They knew that this was only the first step in a long journey, and the final victory would require more efforts from them.

The final bidding session will be held in three days. Su Li and Gu Jinyan took the time to make the final improvements and rehearsals on the bidding plan. They simulated various possible situations and formulated corresponding response strategies to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Three days passed in a flash, and it was the final bidding day. Su Li and Gu Jinyan arrived at the bidding site early, wearing formal suits, full of energy, and their eyes were full of confidence.

"Are you ready?" Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li and asked softly.

Su Li nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Of course."

They walked side by side towards the bidding conference room with firm steps, as if they were carrying the momentum of thousands of troops, ready to meet the final challenge.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Su Li and Gu Jinyan were greeted by a solemn atmosphere. The conference room was packed with people, and the bid evaluation experts looked solemn, scanning each person who came in with sharp eyes. The delegation of the rival company sat diagonally opposite them, each with a smile on their face, but they could not hide the hostility and tension in their eyes.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan calmly walked to their positions, adjusted the equipment calmly, and arranged the prepared materials neatly. Their every move was full of confidence and composure, as if they had a plan in mind and were sure of victory.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, long time no see." The executive of the rival company suddenly spoke with a hint of provocation in his tone, "It seems that you are very confident in this bid."

Gu Jinyan smiled slightly, his eyes firm: "Mutually."

After a brief greeting, the bidding officially began. Representatives from each company took turns to present their proposals, and the competition was extremely fierce. Su Li noticed that the competitor company had obtained some inside information about their proposal from somewhere, and deliberately questioned their proposal in their presentation, trying to shake the trust of the bid evaluation experts in them.

Faced with the sudden challenge, Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not panic. They responded calmly, using detailed data and professional analysis to resolve the other party's doubts one by one and pointed out the loopholes and deficiencies in the other party's plan.

"It seems that Mr. Gu and Ms. Su are very familiar with our plan." The executive of the competitor company looked a little unhappy. "However, everyone can talk about it on paper, but in the end, the actual results must be seen."

"Of course." Su Li took over the conversation, with a confident smile on her face, "However, we also believe that the final result will prove everything."

Su Li's eyes were firm and powerful, like a sharp sword, piercing through the other party's hypocritical mask. The executives of the rival company were intimidated by her momentum and were speechless for a moment. They could only watch Su Li and Gu Jinyan walk onto the podium.

"Hello, experts!" Su Li's voice was clear and confident, echoing in the conference room. "I am honored to be here today to introduce to you the solution our company has tailored for this project..."

Su Li's voice flowed like a clear spring, and she presented their plan clearly and vividly to everyone. Gu Jinyan stood beside her, following her with his eyes full of appreciation and love.

At this moment, Su Li suddenly discovered that there were some problems with the PPT file they prepared, and some key data was missing...
