Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shangguan Ding chuckled as he said, “You’re in the limelight now, so it’s better to be careful. There’s even more trouble ahead. In comparison, a mere vice president of the Chamber of Commerce is nothing at all.” Jian Xing’er frowned and asked, “What do you know?” A smile slowly appeared on Shangguan Ding’s lips as he said, I don’t know anything!”. At this moment, Hou Junlai walked over. “Are you free now? I want to treat you to a meal to thank Tianmei for choosing us for a long-term cooperation. This will make my company’s future development much easier,” Hou Junlai said to Jian Xing’er carefully.
“She’s busy! She’s not free!” Shangguan Ding got out of the car and hugged Jian Xing’er s shoulder affectionately. Jian Xing’er rolled her eyes. Shangguan Ding was using the same old trick again. “Mr. Hou, Jian Xing’er is going home to eat with me in the afternoon, so she can’t accompany you.” Shangguan Ding looked at Hou Junlai provocatively as he said, “Xing’er s culinary skills are very good. If you really want to eat together, you can come to our place directly. I don’t mind the three of us eating together!” Hou Junlai was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses. “No need.” Hou Junlai smiled awkwardly as he said goodbye to Jian Xing’er and drove away.
After the car drove away for a distance, a bitter look appeared on Hou Junlai’s face. Ever since he divorced Jian Xing’er and chased her away from the Hou family, there wasn’t a day that Hou Junlai didn’t regret it. He had not had a good sleep for a long time. However, he knew very well that Shangguan Ding’s feelings for Jian Xing’er were obvious, and he wasn’t an easy person to deal with. After forcing himself to return home, Hou Junlai sat on the sofa tiredly. Tianmei Corporation had obtained a complete victory this time, and Hou Junlai’s company had also escaped a calamity. From nowon, Hou Junlai’s company would become Tianmei Corporation’s closest partner. However, Hou Junlai wasn’t as happy as he imagined.
“Junlai, did Jian Xing’er’s company close down?” Mrs. Hou probed. “Mom, don’t ask anymore. The Tianmei Corporation is definitely doomed this time!” Hou Xiaoyu sighed softly as she said, “Sister-in-laws backer is the Li family, but the Liu family has the vice president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce backing them. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, so the outcome is already decided.”
Mrs. Hou said with a serious expression, “Junlai, 1 advised you back then, but you didn’t listen. After the Tianmei Corporation is destroyed, your company Wil definitely be implicated. The Liu family won’t let you off!”
“How is Jian .Xing’er now?” Mr. Hou, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked. He was more concerned about Jian’er than the corporation. Although Jane Xing’er was no longer their Hou family’s daughter-in-law, over the years, he had developed familial affection for her.
“Jian Xing’er is doing quite well.” Hearing Mr. Hou ask, Hou Junlai said, “Tianmei Corporation is also doing quite well now! The President of the Demon Province’s Chamber of Commerce, Bai Hao, personally arrived and dealt with the Liu family, Liu Xiaohong, and the mother-in-law of the vice president.” Everyone present was stunned and their eyes were filled with disbelief. After a long time, the three of them slowly came back to their senses. “You’re saying that Bai Hao stood up for Jian Xing’er? How is this possible? How did Jian Xing’er meet such a big shot? Bai Hao is a powerful figure in the Demon Province s business world!” Mrs. Hou couldn’t believe it.
…..
Hou Xiaoyu couldn’t sit still anymore, so she stood up from the sofa and paced in the middle of the hall. She couldn’t hide the restlessness on her face. The Hou family knew very well that Bai Hao was equivalent to the king of the business world in the Demon Province. Bai Hao had immense influence in Demon Province’s business world. Even Mr. Hou’s face was filled with disbelief. “That’s great! That’s great!�� Mrs. Hou’s grinned as she grabbed Hou Junlai’s sleeve and said, “Back then, when Tianmei Corporation was in trouble, all the companies abandoned it. Only you were willing to continue working with Tianmei. Now, Jian .Xing’er will definitely be touched by your sincerity.” With that said, Mrs. Hou continued, “You must hold on to Tianmei. With Tianmei as your backer, things will definitely be smooth sailing for your company in the future.”
That’s right, Brother! You should take this opportunity to collaborate with Jian Xing’er! ’ Hou Xiaoyu said excitedly. She wished she could coax Jian Xing’er to return on behalf of her brother..
