After all, the water treatment technology they had acquired was something that waited for no one. Although they had purchased it while it was leading the world, who knew if someone else might make a breakthrough after a few more months?
Therefore, they had to take advantage of this optimal period to buy the best water treatment company!
But that mysterious overseas group kept finding fault with them, time after time!
Yu Jingxi was furious. Even with the least bit of thought, he knew that this time, Huanyu Group had been targeted. However, the problem was that after so many years of building up the company, with its vast size attracting trouble, they indeed had many enemies. What’s more, it was unclear whether the other party had more moves up their sleeve; it felt like a persistent ulcer, constantly clinging to his back. It was truly annoying.
Therefore, when he called his wife, Shen Lanxiao, to vent his frustrations, both of them felt the gravity of the situation. Shen Lanxiao made a split-second decision to return first and help her husband with some official matters, and then she would deal with her worryingly irresponsible son!
Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning had nothing to say upon hearing about the situation. Especially Yu Zexiao, despite his strained relationship with his father Yu Jingxi and his eagerness to break free from Huanyu Group’s control, they were still father and son after all. In the entertainment industry, everyone looked up to him because he was the "Crown Prince" of Huanyu Group. With trouble at home, it was his undeniable responsibility. His own petty personal issues would have to wait until the family’s major problems were solved first.
Immediately, he said, "Mom, you go back first, and help dad sort out the company’s problems."
Shen Lanxiao had not been idle over the years either. Working in the company alongside her husband, she had held a significant position. At such a moment, it was only natural for her to be by Yu Jingxi’s side, supporting him through difficult times.
---------------------------
A group of people headed to the airport and saw off Shen Lanxiao. By then, it was no longer early.
On the way back, Yu Zexiao remained silent, and Jian Anning couldn’t help but console him, "Don’t worry, you have to trust your family!"
It took a good while before Yu Zexiao responded, "You don’t understand him."
Although he did not specify who "he" was, Jian Anning easily guessed that the "he" Yu Zexiao referred to was his father.
"He is a very arrogant man. If it were not for something significant, he would never call for help," Yu Zexiao said after a long pause. "Even though it seemed like he was downplaying it over the phone, the fact that he asked mom to come back means that it must be a very serious issue!"
Indeed, it was serious. Just one water treatment case cost an extra fifty million for the purchase of a technology patent because of that United States company. Now, it was the same company eyeing the firm he was interested in—wasn’t this intentional sabotage?
Moreover, the opposition’s company was too ruthless this time, hitting exactly on the point where they could make a profit, with the price they quoted! If he were to vie for it, he would have to pay several hundred million more than them! No company could easily bear such a loss.
From childhood to adulthood, in Yu Zexiao’s heart, Yu Jingxi had always been an unreasonable, domineering parent. But no matter whether it was being domineering or authoritarian, there was at least one thing for sure—he was very formidable!
