I've planned this for so long and spent so much money, and now it's all gone to waste.

My second aunt clenched her fists in hatred, her face so dark it seemed to drip water.

"Wife, dinner's ready. What are you standing there daydreaming about?" The second uncle, unaware of what had happened, saw his wife standing in front of the flower bed in a daze and hurriedly came over to pull her to dinner.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!" The second aunt turned around and vented her anger on her husband.

"What is it now? Did I upset you?" The second uncle was completely confused. The house had been peaceful these past few days, and he hadn't done anything to make his wife angry.

"We spent so much money to buy out that raw material, thinking it was a sure thing, but now it's all gone!" Auntie roared angrily.

Upon hearing this, the second uncle's face showed shock. "How could this be? Aren't there only three of them in the country? Are there others we don't know about?"

"How would I know? That girl has already found new raw materials, delivered them to the factory, and started production!" Second Aunt's eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

"We've found the raw materials and started production! Doesn't that mean all the raw materials we bought for so much money are now worthless?" my second uncle asked anxiously.

"What else can we do? Everything is over now!" Auntie said dejectedly.

"I really didn't expect that girl to be so capable. I underestimated her."

"Don't worry, wife." Uncle patted Aunt's shoulder. "Now that it's happened, we need to think of a solution. Maybe we can talk to those suppliers and see if we can cooperate. After all, they also need to order this stuff again."

His second aunt rolled her eyes at him. "Talk? How can we talk? We spent a lot of money to buy those raw materials. Now we're reselling them to them. What price can they offer?"

My second uncle sighed, "That's better than letting it become scrap in our hands."

The two were silent for a moment, and finally the second aunt nodded, "Alright, let's give it a try then. It seems that's the only way."

Ye Boxuan, who was already a little drunk, had returned long ago and was standing by the door. After listening to what they had said, he spoke up: "You said I was no good? I think you're even worse. You schemed and plotted, and now look what happened. You've lost both your wife and your army."

The couple, who were in a bad mood, were startled by his sudden outburst. They turned around and saw that he was drunk.

"Drinking in broad daylight, do you still look like my son?" His second aunt hadn't even vented her anger when he happened to be there.

"How am I not like your son? I think I am very much like him. We're both idiots."

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Second Aunt raised her hand to hit Ye Boxuan, but was stopped by Second Uncle.

"Alright, stop arguing!" the second uncle scolded. "Aren't you all in enough chaos already?"

Ye Boxuan sneered, "You think I want to bother with the stupid things you've done? I just find you ridiculous. All you do is scheme and plot, and look what's happened! Xiao Qianqian is still firmly sitting in the CEO's position. What good has all your work done? Pshaw!"

When his second aunt heard him say that, she was very angry; "You good-for-nothing, who are we doing all this for? Is it for ourselves?"

"Then why don't you put me in the CEO position? If you can do that, I'll be impressed. Stop making empty promises all the time."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving his parents looking astonished.

The second uncle and aunt looked at each other speechlessly, both secretly sighing that their son was becoming more and more outrageous.

Xiao Qianqian found the raw materials in time and urged the production department to speed up production. Finally, the task was successfully completed. The customer has accepted the batch of goods and is very satisfied. Today, that difficult customer came to Ye's Group. In the reception room, Xiao Qianqian, Zhang Qi and several senior executives received the customer.

"President Tang, welcome to the Ye Group." Xiao Qianqian stretched out her slender hand and stood up, her pregnant belly protruding.

"This cooperation has been very pleasant. I also heard about the fire that occurred at your company's raw materials, but you, Mr. Xiao, resolved it perfectly in the end, which I am very satisfied with. I am here today to place an additional order, doubling the quantity I need this time. I hope you can also complete the order with high quality and quantity," Mr. Tang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang. Thank you for your trust and support. We guarantee that we will complete the order smoothly."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, President Tang suddenly looked at Xiao Qianqian's belly and asked curiously, "President Xiao, you look like you're about to give birth, don't you?"

"I'm almost eight months pregnant," Xiao Qianqian said gently, stroking her belly.

"Congratulations! The Ye Group will soon have a young master or young lady. Mr. Ye is truly blessed to have such a capable wife like you," said President Tang.

"Mr. Tang, you flatter me," Xiao Qianqian said with a smile.

At that moment, Zhang Qi walked in with a cup of coffee and handed it to President Tang. President Tang took the coffee, took a sip, and said with great praise, "This coffee tastes great. Is it ground by your company?"

"Yes, these are coffee beans specially selected by our company, and the coffee is freshly ground," Zhang Qi explained.

"Hmm, very good." President Tang nodded, then looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, and I have other things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now. I'll have my assistant stay and handle the contract."

"Okay, Mr. Tang, take care." Xiao Qianqian and the others stood up to see the guest off. After seeing Mr. Tang off, Xiao Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. The meeting had finally come to a successful end. It was a close call, but thankfully it went smoothly, and the company even got an additional contract – a truly unexpected bonus.

"President Xiao, I didn't expect President Tang to be so easy to talk to today," Zhang Qi remarked from the side.

Is he difficult to talk to?

"Yes, I was the one who negotiated the first contract with him. We talked for a whole afternoon before we finally got the order. I felt that he was too serious and difficult to talk to."

"Maybe he's in a good mood today."

"Possibly."

The two walked and talked until they reached the president's office.

Zhang Qi turned around and closed the door; "Madam, there's some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate."

"oh?"

"What's going on?"

"As expected, it wasn't an accident. Someone deliberately set the fire. When we went to investigate secretly, we discovered that another group of people were also investigating."

Do you know who it is?

"I suspect it might be the chairman's people investigating."

"Grandpa? You mean Grandpa also suspects this was man-made?"

"It should be so. This fire was too coincidental. The key point is that all the raw materials on the market are out of stock, which makes people suspect that someone is targeting us."
