Su Niannian hurriedly stood up, and the comforting words she had been thinking about all day came out effortlessly, "Uncle, let me get you a glass of water. Don’t be too discouraged, success is the mother of failure, you’ll definitely succeed next time!"
Xia Yong gently patted his niece’s head and laughed as he lifted the contract in his hand, "Look, what’s this?"
To accommodate Mother Su, he deliberately moved close to the hospital bed.
Mother Su and Su Niannian could see clearly, their eyes widening in an instant.
Su Niannian took the contract and turned it over several times, then looked up in stunned disbelief, "Uncle, is this really a contract from Tenggui Group? It’s not something you printed off from a street shop to fool us, is it?"
"Why would I use this to fool you?" Xia Yong boasted, hands on his hips, standing in front of the hospital bed as he animatedly recounted the hotel incident, then looked at Su Niannian, "Nian Nian, the person you brought in is not just a friend, but a huge benefactor for our family!"
Xia Yong’s wife brought some fruit and entered behind Xia Yong. Hearing his last remark, she chuckled and pushed him, "Alright, enough showing off. Put the contract away safely, don’t lose it."
Xia Yong was successful, so Mother Su was also happy, and her complexion looked somewhat better, yet she was still somewhat worried, "Such a big project from Tenggui Group... can your company really handle it?"
Although Mother Su had never been in business, she had been exposed to it her whole life and knew that if Xia Yong’s mistake led to the project’s failure, he might not be able to compensate for the loss even if he exhausted his entire fortune.
Xia Yong carefully put the contract into his bag, "Mr. Shen said, I just need to provide the technology, Tenggui Group will take care of everything else."
Upon hearing this, Mother Su and Su Niannian were instantly shocked.
The attitude of Tenggui Group was more like support than cooperation; they were actually backing Xia Yong’s company!
Su Niannian couldn’t help but say, "Uncle... you have to do a good job. Make this project hugely profitable, otherwise, it would be unfair to Sister Chi!"
Xia Yong nodded, "Of course."
As joyful as the Xia Family was, the Su Family was equally somber.
Outside the VIP ward of the hospital owned by the Su Family.
Chi Changjing and Zhao Yuexiu sat on the chairs in the hallway with pale faces, both looking somewhat dazed.
On the way to bringing Old Sir Su to the hospital, Chi Changjing had called Lady Hai again and received the same response from the police on the other end.
Chi Changjing had nearly fainted on the spot too!
The Chi Family and the Su Family had been in business for generations and, including Old Sir Su, their combined age was nearly over three hundred years, yet they were swindled thoroughly by a young woman!
It was an embarrassment to even speak of!
What’s worse, although the Chi Family didn’t invest as much money as the Su Family, only more than ten million,
The Chi Family didn’t have the depth of resources that the Su Family did!
For the Chi Family, this loss of more than ten million was a tremendous blow!
At this moment, Su Haikang and Yin Xiuxiu were both in the ward, so Chi Changjing and Zhao Yuexiu didn’t need to pretend anything.
Zhao Yuexiu couldn’t help but complain, "It’s all Old Sir Su’s fault for wanting to do those quirky schemes. If we had honestly bid for the project, maybe we would have actually been chosen!"
Chi Changjing didn’t say anything, thinking back to when he last saw Chi Gui, Chi Gui had a clearly mocking attitude toward Lady Hai.
A glint flickered in Chi Changjing’s eyes.
At that moment, Su Haikang came out of the room. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel fire.net
He looked tired and rubbed his temple, "You two come with me to the police station to make a statement. That money... we’ll try to recover whatever we can."
Chi Changjing and Zhao Yuexiu nodded and stood up.
Su Haikang seemed to remember something and added, "Chang Jing, you also use your connections to check which company cooperated with Tenggui Group. If it’s someone from Capital City, maybe we can still get a slice of the pie..."
