Xue Cheng’s brows were steady, and his appearance charming. Faced with such a situation, he still remained calm and said slowly, "Sorry, I still need to wait for one person’s response to determine which Huaxia family to partner with."
At his words, Ma Donglai raised an eyebrow.
He was quite clear about Xue Cheng’s temperament.
To put it in a common phrase from Huaxia, he was stubborn and always stood by his own reasoning.
Could there really be someone he respected this much?
Ma Donglai was curious but didn’t ask further, just nodded, "Alright, after the Jade Appreciation Conference ends, I will choose who will be the vice president based on the future potential of you two in the Huaxia market."
This had already been decided.
Neither the Cadis family nor Xue Cheng objected.
Leaving the office, Xue Cheng took out his mobile phone and immediately sent a message: "I am now in Huaxia, you can contact me directly if there’s anything."
After sending the message, he left directly.
The Cadis family stood by, watching Xue Cheng’s aloof demeanor with some irritation.
The assistant, standing behind the Cadis family, expressed concern, "Is Xue Cheng acting mysterious because he has some scheme?"
The Cadis family snorted coldly, "In two days, the Jade Appreciation Conference will end, and his delay won’t help. You should visit the Jin Family more in these two days and don’t let Xue Cheng take advantage."
As long as Xue Cheng couldn’t secure a partnership with the Jin Family, no matter which family he chose... even if it was the Fu Family, he was sure to win!
The assistant nodded.
After the Cadis family and Xue Cheng left, Ma Donglai also took down the address of the Fu Family. As he walked out, he told his secretary, "Inform the president of the Huaxia Jewelry Association to accompany me."
The secretary was startled, "Where to?"
Ma Donglai replied, "The Fu Family."
He wasn’t ready to give up just yet and decided to try persuading Chi Gui by visiting the Fu Family. Worried that Chi Gui wouldn’t believe his identity, Ma Donglai directly asked the president of the Huaxia Jewelry Association to accompany him.
When Chi Gui received the message from Xue Cheng, she had just helped Mrs. Fu out of the car and was heading towards the living room.
She responded to the message with one hand on Mrs. Fu, casually replying: "Alright."
As they entered the hall, Chi Gui saw two unfamiliar elderly individuals sitting on the sofa.
Both seemed to be in their seventies, wearing glasses and dressed in classical attire, reminiscent of gentlemen and ladies from the Republic era.
Granny Fu was sitting with them.
Mrs. Fu exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, Mom? Why are you here?"
Upon hearing Mrs. Fu’s voice, the two elders looked up at her, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.
It was Granny Fu who spoke up, "The Zheng Family heard that even the Cadis family wants to partner with the Jin Family, and they were all clamoring to build relations with the Jin Family. The in-laws were strictly against it, and now your uncle has proposed splitting the family... Currently, everyone in the Zheng Family except for your parents agrees."
Granny Fu was, after all, the matriarch of a large family. Although she was angry, her words were clear and concise, delineating the core of the issue.
Mrs. Fu trembled with fury. Official source is NovelHub(.)net
For many years, the Zheng Family had relied on the Fu Family and had never proposed splitting.
She had an uncle on through Zheng Wen’s branch, who for over twenty years, had benefited immensely from the "Fu Family relatives" status.
Now, thinking the Fu Family useless and wanting to ingratiate themselves with the Jin Family, they unhesitatingly proposed splitting!
They didn’t consider her, someone married into the Fu Family, and even planned to cast out the already elderly Mr. and Mrs. Zheng!
