He Hubin felt bitter and no longer concealed his emotions. He pleaded, "Brother Wen, we're all friends. Please help me. I know Master Jing is upset, but I'm really miserable. Several orders have been snatched away from me recently. If this continues, I'm afraid my father will kick me out. Master Jing, tell me the truth, have you calmed down?"
Xie Wenliang was curious: "I didn't want to get involved in your business, Abin. You are in the sand and gravel business, and Dabin is in the catering business like Jingze. If Jingze wants to steal your business, it's not his turn to steal yours, right?"
The Dabin mentioned by Xie Wenliang is the general manager of Yanxin Hotel. Like He Hubin, the last character of his name is Bin, so Xie Wenliang calls him Dabin, and Liu Jingze and others generally call him Brother Bin.
Huo Yichao explained, "Brother Wen, Master Jing is not only in the catering business. His uncle, Master Ren Wu, runs a construction company. Ah Bin really doesn't want to make him angry. You all know that sometimes women just don't pay attention to what they say. Fortunately, Sister Tiantian is not petty. It's only right for Master Jing to vent his anger on behalf of his wife Liu, but he should know when to stop. We are all friends."
Although he said that Su Tiantian was not petty, he also mentioned that Liu Jingze vented her anger, obviously speaking up for He Hubin.
Li Boyu sneered: "Chaoshao, Yu Jingze hasn't even bothered to settle with you about your last missed appointment. So, are you rushing to get Jingze to settle with you now?"
Zheng Ziyang echoed, "Exactly. It was you who was dishonest first, and now you have the nerve to blame Jingze."
Huo Yichao's tone also turned sour: "He didn't hold it against me, but his younger cousin Ren Zhengyu did. He stole two of my business orders and arrogantly said that he was just that stingy. It was my fault for making things difficult for his cousin."
When it comes to Ren Zhengyu, Li Boyu and Zheng Ziyang are both familiar with him. They can probably guess Ren Zhengyu's arrogant look. This young master of the Ren family is really brave enough to admit what he has done.
Huang Jiekang looked at Feng Xueru meaningfully. Feng Xueru curled his lips into a wry smile. Fortunately, after he knew that Liu Zhaosheng was Liu Jingze's godfather, he restrained his thoughts and tried to get along well with Liu Jingze. Otherwise, He Hubin's predicament today would be his. He was also glad that his wife Feng, Huang Jieling, had been obedient during this period and knew to make friends with Zhang Xiuli and Su Tiantian.
Sometimes it's better to have more friends than more enemies. He Hubin's girlfriend, Liu Nana, is just too outspoken. Since they're both in the business world, don't they know what's appropriate to say and what's not, and what's appropriate to say in different situations? She clearly knows all this, yet she deliberately says it. Telling a woman who's just finished her confinement and is celebrating her baby's full moon to stay in shape is truly heartbreaking.
Even if Su Tiantian herself doesn't care, how can Liu Jingze, who loves his wife, not care?
Liu Jingze put down his glass and said slowly, "Since we have known each other for many years and so many friends are here, then I have something to say. Chao Shao, my little cousin is not stealing your orders, right? Let's compete fairly. Of course, he can choose not to compete with you for my sake."
Huo Yichao suppressed his anger and said, "Master Jing, you and I are good friends, and your cousin and I can be considered friends too. He now treats me as an enemy. Not only does he treat me as an enemy, he also treats He Hubin as an enemy. He Hubin's orders clearly had high cooperation opportunities, but they were signed by your uncle's company. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Liu Jingze said calmly: "Then what do you want?"
Huo Yichao felt like he was punching the air with his fist. What did he want? He imagined it would be like before, when the twelve of them had a good relationship and were grouped together, but now each of them had their own agenda, even becoming competitors in the business world.
He Hubin filled his glass with wine, then stood up and said, "Liu Jingze, I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Nana and I might be getting married. She offended your wife, Liu, and you took your anger out on me. I apologize to you and your sister-in-law on her behalf. You are so magnanimous. Since you and Xueru and Atao had a business deal that ended with them selling their shares, and yet you were able to reconcile and continue to be friends, can you give me the same chance? Let me toast you first."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Hubin raised his head and drank the wine in the glass to show his sincerity.
Seeing He Hubin's expression, Huo Yichao followed suit, filling his glass with wine. Then, he stood up and said, "Jingze, what happened last time was my fault. I broke my promise to you. I know that even though I've apologized to you, your impression of me must have been greatly reduced. But I really don't want our friendship to end like this. Just like Master Bin said, since you were able to reconcile with Xueru and Atao, can you give me the same chance? Let me toast you first."
He also raised his head and drank the wine in the glass to show his sincerity.
Feng Xueru and Shu Guangtao, who were mentioned by He Hubin, were speechless. This was related to them again, and they didn't want to mention this past event.
Everyone else looked at Liu Jingze at the same time, wondering how he would react, whether he would give in and back down.
Liu Jingze smiled softly and picked up his wine glass. There was only a small half glass of wine in his glass. He didn't pour more wine. After drinking it, he said, "You'd better not compare yourself with Xueru. I reconciled with him because of my godfather's face. You know I listen to my father very much, and in fact, I also listen to my godfather. Bin Shao, Chao Shao, I don't want to be enemies with you. Since you said this today, I hope we can still be friends in the future."
Liu Jingze walked down the stairs, and He Hubin and Huo Yichao breathed a sigh of relief. He Hubin was still a little worried, so he said, "Mr. Jing, when is Sister Tiantian free? Nana and I would like to invite you and Sister Tiantian to dinner."
Liu Jingze said, "She's free every day. She's still on maternity leave, so you could say she's busy every day. She rarely goes out. Mr. Bin, since you said you hope we can still be friends in the future, there's no need to say more. I just hope they won't have any conflicts next time they get together. Mr. Bin, you won't change your girlfriend again, right?"
