Chapter 244 is decided by Ms. Yan.

He Ziqian smiled throughout, leaving those below somewhat puzzled.

I glanced at the silver watch on my wrist; it was almost time.

There was a sudden knock on the conference room door, and He Ziqian was the first to get up and go over.

The five families present were all a little confused. Why did someone suddenly appear in the middle of the negotiation?

But this was a project of Gumei, so He Ziqian didn't say anything, and the others just had different expressions.

"President Wei, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you all." He Ziqian's smile was obsequious, completely different from the smile he had given to the people in the conference room earlier.

Wei Yin was dressed in a sharp black suit. Unlike when he was at home, all the loose hair that used to fall over his forehead was combed back, revealing his sharp eyebrows and eyes. He exuded the oppressive aura of a superior.

Looking towards the conference table, his gaze fell on Huo Qingshi.

Bai Jiaqing noticed that the man she was holding had clearly stiffened, and even his usually gentle eyes widened slightly.

She tried shaking her arm: "Qingshi, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jiaqing, who was still completely confused about the situation, looked up and saw that a woman suddenly stood out from behind the man who had just been called President Wei.

A woman she knew all too well.

"Yan Kui!?"

Bai Jiaqing spoke first, startling everyone present who turned to look at her.

Chen Zhaoyan cursed inwardly, not expecting that the Bai family knew He Ziqian's boss. His already meager confidence waned even further.

Yan Kui wore a black suit skirt matching Wei Yin's suit, and a pair of new high heels from C brand that hadn't been released yet. Her thick, black hair was tied high behind her head. The two of them standing together exuded an air of unparalleled nobility.

Yan Kui, with a cold expression, raised an eyebrow at Bai Jiaqing in a provocative manner, then took Wei Yin's arm and sat down at the head of the table.

Huo Qingshi stared blankly at the person who walked in, seemingly in a daze.

But the pain in my arm was so clear.

Alarm bells rang in Bai Jiaqing's mind. She gripped Huo Qingshi's shoulders tightly and whispered nervously in his ear, "You're already married!"

A sharp pain shot through his arm, and Huo Qingshi suddenly snapped back to reality, gently patting Bai Jiaqing's hand: "I know."

Bai Jiaqing was skeptical, her gaze shifting back and forth between Yan Kui and Huo Qingshi.

It wasn't until He Ziqian spoke up: "Let me introduce you to my boss, President Wei."

"Next to him is his wife, Ms. Yan."

"And the bidding results will be decided by Ms. Yan. Does anyone have anything to add?"

The two people in the car had just finished reading the conclusion sent by the manager, but they knew that the answer had actually been partially revealed a long time ago.

As Bai Jiaqing watched the manager hand over the report and heard He Ziqian say that the outcome would be decided by Yan Kui, she suddenly began to panic.

This feeling intensified as Yan Kui flipped through the documents, and she gripped Huo Qingshi's hand even tighter.

Unable to contain his impatience, Bai Jiaqing suddenly asked, "Yan Kui, when did you get back?"

The sudden remark made Chen Zhaoyan sweat with nervousness.

This was the first project he took over independently from the Chen family, and also the most profitable one.

If he fails to seize this opportunity, his position in the Chen family will only be marginalized.

Listening to the familiar conversation between the Bai and Huo families and key figures, Chen Zhaoyan felt his heart pounding.

After asking the question, Bai Jiaqing felt something was off. Huo Qingshi quickly pulled her arm, his face stern, implying that she shouldn't speak in this situation.
