##"You two should stop daydreaming.

"The bidding is certainly in my bag! You guys should just get lost! Hahaha!"

Harvard laughed as he entered the office.

At that moment, Richard's palm was full of sweat. He nervously stared at the entrance of the office. 'Those who went in before couldn't stay more than a minute. I wonder if Harvard could…'

Just as Richard was imagining various kinds of possibilities, Harvard had already walked out.

It only took ten seconds from the time he entered to the time he walked out.

The time spent was short.

It was the shortest time spent.

Thus far, it was the shortest time spent among the participants. The crowd cast teasing glances at him.

"Haha! What family did he come from? How embarrassing to be blown out the moment he just went in, right?"

"He seems to come from the Hill family's melt manufacturing. Tsk! Tsk! The Hill family is at least considered to be a secondary family, how awkward it is to be kicked out just like that."

"Could be due to the indecency of how he carried himself, right?"

Amidst the crowd's discussion, Harvard returned to Richard, looking dejected.

"What the hell happened?!" Richard questioned him loudly.

Harvard looked grief-stricken, and replied, "The moment I entered and introduced myself as Harvard Hill, the deputy director asked if I'm from the Hill family's melt manufacturing. I answered "Yes". After that, he said to me, "You may go out now."

"T-This…"

Richard fell speechless when he heard this. Their conversation was somehow bizarre. 'The Hill family has nothing to do with the deputy director, naturally, there shouldn't be any possibilities of retaliation.

'But why…'

Richard looked at Harvard, 'He couldn't be telling lies at this moment. Moreover, he went in for ten seconds only. Indeed, it's highly unlikely he could say much.'

"Then, what was it that made the deputy director blow us out as soon as he heard about the Hill family?"

Emma was puzzled too.

Janice smiled, 'In fact, the reason is fairly simple. The bidding could only be contracted to a person from the Hill family. Apparently, Harvard is not the one.'

When Harvard noticed Janice's smile, he felt his entire body boiled with rage, and cussed, "Why are you smiling?! Are you happy just because I've failed?! Do you really think you guys could succeed just because I've failed?! The Hill family is totally off for the bidding this time. As long as you guys registered under the Hill family, you would be kicked out!"

"Oh, really? That's not necessarily true," Janice said calmly, "He may not have an opinion about the Hill family, but simply with you only."

"Darn you, Janice! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to strike you?!"

Richard shouted, "Enough! Have we not had enough shame?!"

Richard heaved a long sigh. He said to Emma, "You've seen for yourself regarding Harvard's situation just now. The deputy director has an opinion about the Hill family. So, it's game over for us in the bidding. I think you also don't have to go in as it would be a stroke of tough luck, as well as become a laughing stock to others. Come, let's go home."

Emma nodded. She was about to get up but was abruptly stopped by Janice.

"Grandpa, I think there's something wrong with your words.

"How sure are you to say that the deputy director has an opinion about the Hill family? In my opinion, you're the one who has an opinion about Emma. You must be thinking that a woman is unable to achieve what a man fails to achieve, right?

"If so, open your eyes and see how Emma achieves what Harvard has failed to achieve!"
