68 I Want to Eat Your Cooking
Seeing that Shangguan Ding was already angry, the butler could only turn around and leave.
As Shangguan Ding looked at the butler’s departing back, he pondered over it. Then, a voice came from behind him.
“What are you doing here?”
When Shangguan Ding turned around and saw that it was Jian Xing’er, he smiled and said, “I’m fine. I was just a little bored, so I came out to take a walk. What’s the matter?”
Jian Xing’er was speechless.
Shangguan Ding was quite good at pretending.
Jian Xing’er had seen someone talking to him just now, but he refused to admit it?
Jian Xing’er didn’t want to get to the bottom of it. There were so many things going on now, so how could she have the time to care about Shangguan Ding?
The reason she took in Shangguan Ding was to find that organization. The rest had nothing to do with Jian Xing’er.
Shangguan Ding looked at Jian Xing’er and said, “I want to eat the food you cook. Go buy groceries and come back to make delicious food!”
Jian Xing’er ignored Shangguan Ding and turned to walk into the courtyard.
Jian Xing’er wasn’t a servant.
He wanted Jian Xing’er to cook for him? Dream on.
Seeing that Jian Xing’er ignored him, Shangguan Ding wasn’t angry. He followed Jian Xing’er back.
…
At the Hou family’s villa.
Hou Junlai sat in the living room with a worried expression.
Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou, and Hou Xiaoyu were all there.
Mrs. Hou said worriedly, “Junlai, what’s wrong with the company now? We’re very worried about you. What is it? Tell us and we’ll think of a way together.”
Hou Junlai said with a serious expression, “You can’t help me. The Sea City Chamber of Commerce just released a new policy that has a huge impact on the Sea City business world. In a few days, more than a hundred companies went bankrupt, and my company was also affected.”
Mrs. Hou immediately asked in a panic, “Why did things become like this?”
Hou Junlai sighed and said, “The Chamber of Commerce did this to help Tianmei Corporation occupy the market. Tianmei Corporation is too powerful. Even the Li family and the Chamber of Commerce helped them. A small company like mine is not worthy of competing with such a large company for the market.”
Hou Xiaoyu said, “Tianmei Corporation is so powerful!”
Mr. Hou nodded and said, “Tianmei Corporation has bankrupted many companies. Now, Tianmei Corporation has become the leader of Sea City’s business world. Junlai’s small company is helpless.”
Mr. Hou knew a little about business, so he understood Hou Junlai’s current situation.
Mrs. Hou said, “Is there no other way?”
Hou Junlai frowned and said, “There’s one, but it’s almost impossible for it to succeed.”
Mrs. Hou immediately asked, “It’s good as long as there is a solution. What is the solution?”
Hou Junlai sighed and said, “If we can cooperate with Tianmei Corporation, not only can we avoid this crisis, but my company can also obtain more opportunities. At three o’clock today, Tianmei Corporation has a bidding for a project. Dozens of companies will fight for this opportunity. Moreover, they are all relatively powerful companies in Sea City.”
Mrs. Hou said anxiously, “Then hurry up and prepare!”
Mr. Hou glanced at Mrs. Hou and said, “What do you know? Junlai’s company is just a small company. Even if he goes, he won’t have a chance!”
Mrs. Hou seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, “Get Jian Xing’er to help.”
Mr. Hou said, “Even if Jian Xing’er knows the Li family, Jian Xing’er might not be able to help. Jian Xing’er is not a higher-up of the Tianmei Corporation, so it’s useless.”
Mrs. Hou said with a bitter expression, “What should we do? If the company is gone, our family will be finished.”
Hou Junlai sighed and said, “I’ll give it a try. No matter what, this is an opportunity.”
Mrs. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu immediately cheered Hou Junlai on.
Hou Junlai remained silent.
Hou Junlai knew very well that Tianmei Corporation wouldn’t even take a look at his small company.
The reason why he went to bid was to test his luck.
…
Jian Xing’er was very bored at home, so she wanted to take a look at Tianmei Corporation.
Ever since Tianmei Corporation was established, Jian Xing’er had never been there yet.
Li Kun had always been in charge of everything.
As the chairman of Tianmei Corporation, it would be unreasonable for Jian Xing’er not to go.
Jian Xing’er drove straight to Tianmei Corporation.
In Tianmei Corporation, only Li Kun knew that Jian Xing’er was the chairman. No one else had seen Jian Xing’er before, so everyone was very curious about the chairman.
Jian Xing’er’s office was on the fifth floor.
It was the only office in the corporation.
When Jian Xing’er entered the office, she was stunned.
The office was decorated extravagantly, like a palace.
From how luxurious it was, the renovation fee was probably about ten million yuan.
