For many years of marriage, Hua Shang could never warm the hearts of her husband and son. More than a wife and mother, she was more like a nanny.
It wasn't until she returned to Jincheng ...
"Mr. Bo, the online public opinion has been resolved."
Special Assistant Jiang walked into the office, reported the situation truthfully, and then took out two documents and placed them on the table. "Shen's side has relented and given Bo's a spot in the bidding meeting."
Bo Yunyan's expression brightened slightly as Special Assistant Jiang continued, "But the Shen Corporation's bidding meeting is scheduled to coincide with another project of yours."
Special Assistant Jiang pointed to another document.
"I understand." Bo Yunyan glanced at the documents: "Focus on Shen's project."
"But the profits from this project are comparable to those from Shen's, and they have a long-term partnership with Bo's. If we give up this project for Shen's, what if they terminate their partnership with Bo..."
Special Assistant Jiang stopped talking halfway and observed Bo Yunyan's expression.
"If we can win the Shen Corporation's bidding, the Bo Corporation will be able to reach a higher level." Bo Yunyan weighed the pros and cons for a moment and made a decision: "Let's abandon this project..."
Special Assistant Jiang was shocked by Bo Yunyan's decision: "Boss Bo, are you sure?"
Bo Yunyan frowned: "Are you questioning me?"
"No, I'll do as you say." Special Assistant Jiang lowered his head, unable to help but complain in his heart.
Shouldn't we choose a more stable project?
Mr. Bo is undoubtedly gambling with the entire Bo family.
Forget it, he is just a working beast, so just do it.
…
Hua Chang returned to the apartment and logged into an account she hadn't checked for a few days.
First up were several messages from Rose Manor customers, all of which were asking about the progress of the design draft.
Hua Chang replied calmly with a picture.
When I was about to exit the software, I found a red exclamation mark on the friend request.
She clicked on it to check, and saw a message clearly written in the verification message column.
[Ms. Ah Shang, I'm Su Mengli from the Bo Group. Mr. Bo would like to invite you to dinner. When are you free?]
Hua Shang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Su Mengli could find her work number.
It seems that she underestimated Su Mengli's connections.
Hua Chang took a screenshot of the chat history and sent it to Li Ye.
After a while, Li Ye replied with a voice message.
[This is hilarious. If this "female brother" knew your true identity, I wonder how funny her expression would be. I guess it would be no different from pig liver.]
Hearing this, Hua Chang couldn't help but chuckle.
I felt like teasing her and accepted her friend request.
At this time, Su Mengli at Bo's company was delighted to see that her friend request was approved, and she quickly went to the president's office.
"Brother Yunyan, guess what good news I brought you."
"What?" Bo Yunyan slowly raised his head.
Su Mengli walked directly to Bo Yunyan, sat on his lap, and handed him the phone: "I heard that Mr. Shen likes the architectural designer named 'A Shang' very much. I spent a lot of effort to get her contact information, and she just accepted my friend request."
As she spoke, Su Mengli boldly hooked her arm around Bo Yunyan's neck and said, "If we can invite her out to have dinner with Mr. Shen, wouldn't Shen's project be a sure thing?"
"Are you sure this is 'Achang''s account?" Bo Yunyan asked, holding the phone.
But he did not stop Su Mengli's actions.
"Of course, don't you believe in my connections?" Su Mengli said angrily.
"Of course I believe you."
Bo Yunyan's eyes were deep, and he became more and more determined to turn down another project.
As long as he can get in touch with the Shen family, he will take a gamble!
At the same time, the Qi family.
Qi Mu told Mr. Qi about the Shen project.
"You are asked to be in charge of the Pingzhou Island project together with a woman who has no connection with the Shen family?" Old Master Qi's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Yes, it is said that it is because she has experience in architectural design." Qi Mu answered truthfully.
Old Master Qi narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Mu.
Seeing Qi Mu's calm expression, most of the doubts in Mr. Qi's heart disappeared: "Didn't they say that the Shen family's lost daughter was found? If they let you and a woman take charge of the project, aren't you afraid that it will affect the marriage between the two families?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qi suddenly realized: "Hua Shang is the daughter that the Shen family found?"
"No." Qi Mu denied: "Hua Shang is just an ordinary person."
After a pause, he added, "I will find a time to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Shen family."
Old Master Qi looked displeased: "Cancel the engagement? Didn't I tell you to..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Mu interrupted him: "My mind is all on my career, not on these romantic affairs. I don't need a marriage to consolidate my position. It just so happens that Shen Changmin has also relented."
"When the time comes, I will give you the piece of land in the west of the city as compensation for breaking off the engagement. This way, the relationship between the two families won't be greatly affected."
After seeing Qi Mu finish his clear and logical explanation, Mr. Qi was unable to refute for a moment.
He waved his hand slightly irritably: "Okay, go out first. Wait until the Shen's project is resolved before you come back to talk to me about breaking off the engagement."
"yes."
Qi Mu responded and turned to leave.
As soon as the study door closed, Mr. Qi immediately called Mr. Shen.
As soon as the call was connected, Mr. Qi spoke hurriedly, "Old Shen, why did you give in so quickly? We agreed that if we couldn't be brothers in this life, we would be in-laws. So you've been lying to me?"
"What do you mean by letting go? I don't understand what you are saying." Mr. Shen's puzzled voice came from the loudspeaker.
Old Master Qi retorted angrily, "Don't play dumb. Qi Mu just told me that Chang Min has relented about the cancellation of the engagement. Doesn't Chang Min's opinion indirectly reflect your opinion?"
Mr. Shen on the other end of the phone paused, then began to explain: "Alas, it's because my girl suffered a setback and doesn't believe in love, so..."
…
At this time, Hua Shang didn't know that the Shen and Qi families were trying their best to match her with Qi Mu.
She took a taxi to the Bo family's old house and stood at the door. Her steps inexplicably became heavy.
I don’t know whether Mr. Bo can accept this.
Over the years, only Old Man Bo in the Bo family was truly kind to her.
When she and Zining were in trouble, it was Mr. Bo who came to their aid.
Pursing her lips, Hua Chang still knocked on the door.
"Who's here?" The housekeeper opened the door and was startled when he saw Hua Shang outside. "Young Madam, what are you doing... please come in."
Hua Chang had no intention of delving into the butler's address and the words he hesitated to say.
Entering the old house, she asked bluntly, "Is Grandpa Bo here?"
"The master is in the study. I'll take you there." The butler responded respectfully and walked ahead to lead the way.
After a moment, the two stopped at the door of the study.
The housekeeper knocked on the study door: "Master, the young lady is here."
"Let her in."
The butler opened the door and made a "please" gesture to Hua Shang.
"Thank you."
Hua Chang curled the corners of her lips slightly, thanked the housekeeper, and walked into the study.
