Chapter 73 - Curiosity
73 Curiosity
When Hou Junlai heard Hou Qiang’s words, he was even more curious.
Hou Qiang paused for a moment before continuing, “Not to mention you, the entire Sea City’s business world is very curious about this legendary big shot. But even now, they all know that the chairman of Tianmei Corporation is very young and a man. As for the rest, only the upper echelons of Tianmei Corporation know.”
The more Hou Junlai listened, the more curious he became.
After Hou Qiang took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Hou Junlai, he said, “Junlai, you’ve gotten a rare opportunity this time. You can’t be careless. If anything happens, look for me. I’ll do my best to help you. I’m usually not at home, so this is my contact number.”
Hou Junlai put away his business card and said, “Thank you, Uncle!”
Hou Qiang said, “There’s no need to be polite. We’re all family!”
With that, Hou Qiang turned around and left.
Hou Junlai didn’t stay any longer. He brought the contract home excitedly.
When Mrs. Hou, Mr. Hou, and Hou Xiaoyu saw Hou Junlai enter the house, they immediately asked about the bid.
Hou Junlai took out the contract and said excitedly, “I won!”
The few of them were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses and were filled with disbelief.
Hou Xiaoyu said in admiration, “Brother, you’re so awesome. So many companies couldn’t do it, but you did it!”
With that, Hou Xiaoyu was about to get the contract to see what it looked like.
Slap!
Mrs. Hou slapped the back of Hou Xiaoyu’s hand and pulled her aside.
Mrs. Hou said, “You brat, don’t mess around. This contract is worth a billion yuan. If it’s ruined, you won’t be able to pay for it even if you sell yourself.”
Hou Xiaoyu didn’t dare to say anything else and could only put down her hand.
Mrs. Hou asked curiously, “Junlai, how much profit does the company make from this contract?”
After Hou Junlai thought about it for a moment, he said, “A few hundred million yuan, but earning money is a small matter. This contract can help the company survive the crisis and will be very useful in the future.”
When Mrs. Hou heard this, she asked in disbelief, “Really? This is a joyous occasion!”
Hou Xiaoyu said, “Then let’s celebrate today?”
Mrs. Hou said happily, “Alright, I’ll go buy groceries now and cook something delicious for you.”
Mr. Hou was also very happy.
Ding ding ding…
Hou Junlai’s phone rang.
Hou Jun picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Xin’er immediately said, “Junlai, I was wrong today. I want to apologize. If you accept it, come to Buckingham Hotel. I’ll wait for you here.”
Hou Junlai ignored him and wanted to hang up.
Liu Xin’er didn’t hear Hou Junlai’s answer, so she said fiercely, “Hou Junlai, you know what kind of temper I have. If I can’t get it, I’d rather destroy it myself than let anyone else get it, so you’d better think carefully.”
Liu Xin’er couldn’t hold it in anymore and revealed her true colors.
Hou Junlai hung up.
Mrs. Hou noticed that Hou Junlai’s expression was a little ugly, so she said worriedly, “Junlai, did something happen with the company again?”
Mr. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu were also worried.
Hou Junlai said, “The company is fine… Liu Xin’er threatened me and asked me to look for her now.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Hou said angrily, “Liu Xin’er is too much. How is she worthy of Junlai? She keeps pestering him. How annoying. Junlai, Liu Xin’er is too vicious, so you have to be careful. Also, don’t let Jian Xing’er know. Don’t make her unhappy.”
Mrs. Hou was afraid that Jian Xing’er would misunderstand.
Mr. Hou sighed and said, “It’s all your fault! At that time, you said that you wanted Junlai to marry Liu Xin’er, so Liu Xin’er was emboldened. If it weren’t for you, Junlai wouldn’t be in such trouble.”
Mrs. Hou said, “I didn’t expect Liu Xin’er to be so disgusting.”
Hou Junlai said, “Alright, it’s not a big deal! The Liu family is still in the center of public opinion because of what happened to the Liu family’s head’s wife. Therefore, Liu Xin’er won’t dare to do anything.”
…
Jian Xing’er returned to the villa.
Shangguan Ding sat on the sofa. When he saw Jian Xing’er, he said, “You said before that you have nothing to do with the Hou family anymore. Now that something happened to Hou Junlai’s company, you immediately went to help. From the looks of it, you still haven’t moved on from Hou Junlai.”
Jian Xing’er was speechless.
Jian Xing’er wasn’t doing this to help Hou Junlai, but because Mr. Hou had treated her well back then.
However, Jian Xing’er quickly reacted and said, “You actually know about Tianmei Corporation? How long has it been? You found out everything before I even came back?”
