Yuan Yuan, also known as Sui Yuan, was drinking tea in the tea room. This was an elegant activity she learned after she fell in love with the Second Young Master Shen, and she has maintained it over the years.
"Madam," the maid knocked and entered, "Is there a phone call for you?"
"Who is it?" Yuan Yuan picked up the fragrance cup and took a sniff.
She said it was an old friend.
Yuan Yuan's hand paused for a moment. An old friend? She didn't want to answer, but she was afraid it really was the person she was thinking of. So she reached out and took the phone, waving her hand.
The servant then left.
"Hello, who is this?" Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly.
"Hehe." Gu Meizhi laughed. "Dear cousin, you can't even recognize your older cousin's voice?"
Yuan Yuan's face turned pale: "You... what do you want?"
"I have something to ask you about..." Gu Meizhi didn't intend to reminisce with her and went straight to the point.
“You know I don’t get involved in business matters,” Yuan Yuan sighed. “As for whether Cheng Zeng received an invitation, I really don’t know.”
"Then let's ask. Even if he didn't receive it, with the Shen family's status, finding someone to take care of it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Gu Meizhi laughed. "I'm waiting for your good news." Then she hung up the phone with a snap.
Yuan Yuan slammed the phone to the ground, as if it were a persistent ghost. However, she quickly picked it up again and dialed her son's number.
The telephone was of good quality; it didn't even break when dropped.
Shen Chengzeng was also feeling frustrated at the moment. Logically speaking, the Shen family had a prestigious status. Even disregarding his uncle's influence, their second branch of Shen's Real Estate was doing quite well, ranking among the top in the country. Yet, they hadn't received an invitation, while their rival company had. This was simply an insult.
So when I received the call from my mother, I couldn't help but complain.
"Didn't receive it?" Yuan Yuan was also stunned; she hadn't expected not to receive it.
"Yes." Shen Chengzeng sighed. "But do you know who in the capital will receive an invitation?"
Who are they?
"Leaving aside other families, the Bai family received it."
"Bai Meng?"
“Yes.” Shen Chengzeng gritted his teeth as soon as he heard the name Bai Meng. There was no way around it; over the years, Old Master Bai and his uncle had been on opposing sides, and his company had always been in competition with Bai Meng’s Bai Group.
"How is that possible?" Yuan Yuan was also somewhat shocked.
"Mom, why don't you go find Uncle and ask him to investigate what's going on?" Shen Chengzeng suggested. "That Zunjue Group is simply going too far." Over the years, apart from not getting any advantage from the Bai family, who else hasn't bowed and scraped before him? The projects he wants are always figured out by others without him even having to say a word.
Zunjue Group is just a foreign company. Doesn't it understand the situation in China if it wants to develop domestically?
Yuan Yuan sighed and finally agreed to her son's request: "Then hurry up and find someone who can take you to the party." She paused for a moment, "The Zunjue Group is too powerful. Although your uncle is there, he will retire next year. When he leaves, the company will be forgotten. If our company wants to develop, we need big orders. Cooperation with Zunjue will be very important, understand?"
