Qian Wendao thought it over. "A bidding conference really is a good idea. Most importantly, it saves us trouble. Taking calls every day and dealing with people one by one is too much of a hassle. Settling who gets the Vine Heart in a single conference would save us a lot of effort."
Li Tianming nodded as well. "I can't keep dragging this out. I just want to get it settled as soon as possible."
The three resumed their discussion.
Before long, Li Tianming's phone rang again.
He assumed it was another inquiry about the Vine Heart and was about to decline the call, but a closer look showed that it was actually from the Education Department.
"Hello, this is Li Tianming. Yes, that's me."
"What? Really? Good, good, thank you for letting me know. Yes, I understand. Haha, I still need to make some preparations. All right, goodbye."
Qin Siyang noticed that Li Tianming looked noticeably brighter after the call.
"Old Li, what's got you so happy?"
"They've just finished investigating the case I was falsely implicated in and confirmed I had nothing to do with it. My name is finally clear."
"It dragged on for years, so I thought it would be tricky. How did they resolve it so quickly? It only took a few days?"
"I didn't expect it to go this smoothly either. Looks like Guo Jiuxiao really was scared. After that phone call, he immediately started finding ways to clear my name."
Li Tianming sighed. "Most importantly, Zhou Xing happened to know who did it. That's why I could resolve it so smoothly. Otherwise, who knows how much longer it would have dragged me down?"
Li Tianming didn't hide any of this even with Qian Wendao present. After all, he already knew everything.
Qian Wendao,
