Lisa was modest and courteous, but her attitude was firm. "I am determined to proceed with this project. If it incurs any losses, I will personally take full responsibility."

Recently, she had undertaken several projects, but the response from the suburban project was the most significant.

President Zhao furiously retorted, "You need to offer up some contingency! Old Manoban's money belongs to the group, and what belongs to the group belongs to everyone! When you spend his money, you're spending our money!"

The others echoed his sentiments.

"When did the money in my pocket become yours?" Shen Jun, sitting at the head of the table, spoke up, instantly quieting the meeting room. He continued, "Even if there are real losses, it's still my money that's being lost! If anyone is dissatisfied, they can sell their shares to me, and I'll buy them!"

Clearly, at this meeting, everyone fell silent.

...

"You're saying that Lisa will also participate in the bidding for Project Suburb One?" Sehun was somewhat surprised to receive this news. The development value of that area was not significant. He had acquired it primarily because of its low price, with the intention of transforming it into an industrial park, which suited him perfectly. But the Manoban family did not have such plans. They did not even establish factories. Could they really afford to buy that land without suffering losses?

His assistant nodded, saying, "It is said that Miss Manoban has already started having people work on this project. She has a strong purpose."

Sehun furrowed his brows and said, "I see. You may leave now."

The assistant left.

Nancy walked in, casually asking, "I heard you discussing Lili just now?"

Sehun responded with a grunt, "I have set my sights on a piece of land in the suburbs. It seems that Lisa is also interested. With her involvement, it's possible that I may not secure that piece of land."

The value of that land was not high to begin with; it was meant for building factories, and he had the financial means to do so. Acquiring that land was almost a done deal. However, with Lisa's interference, it was no longer certain.

A calculating gleam flashed in Nancy's eyes as she asked, "Is that land crucial for the company?"

"Not necessarily essential, but it's challenging to find something as cheap as that," Sehun rubbed his forehead and stood up. "Let's go have dinner first."

...

As the auction day drew nearer, Sehun felt a growing sense of unease. If he failed to secure Project Suburb One, buying another piece of land would cost him a lot more money. This was not something that could be resolved with just one or two hundred million. After careful consideration, he decided to arrange a meeting with Lisa. He had already heard that her persistent actions within the Manoban Group were causing dissatisfaction. By adding fuel to the fire, he might be able to shake her resolve.

Lisa was reading through the bidding documents when she glanced at her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. She answered, "Who is this?"

"It's Sehun."

Upon hearing Sehun's name, Lisa immediately hung up and blocked his number without hesitation. She did not want to exchange a single word with her ex-husband. She had come to realize that Sehun was probably not in his right mind.

However, shortly after, her assistant entered the room. "President Manoban, President Oh called. He wants me to inform you that he would like to meet you in person to discuss Project Suburb One."
