Although their CEO Pei is just starting out in this business, his assistant believes that with his abilities, there is absolutely no need for him to cooperate with others.
"certainly."
Pei Huai looked at the contract in his hand with a smile in his eyes.
The assistant looked at Pei Huai with great confusion, "President Pei, why do we insist on cooperating with that President Jiang?"
Isn't this just handing money over to someone else?
Pei Huai didn't want to explain to him, and simply said, "You don't understand."
...
After Jiang Yue returned home, she made lunch for Dongdong, and then went to the hospital with Madam Lu.
Mrs. Lu had made an appointment for her at the hospital in advance, so when Jiang Yue arrived at the hospital, she hardly had to wait in line and quickly completed all the tests she needed to have done.
All that's left is to wait for the results.
Sitting in the hospital corridor, Mrs. Lu finally had a chance to ask Jiang Yue, "How did the bidding go this morning?"
She knew that Jiang Yue had put in a lot of effort for this bidding process.
"It should have gone smoothly, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, and in the end, Pei Huai bought the land."
Jiang Yue gave a helpless, bitter smile.
If it weren't for Pei Huai, she could have easily acquired this land today.
"Pei Huai snatched it?"
Madam Lu's face darkened upon hearing this. "How could he do this? You're heavily pregnant and still cooking for his child, and he's trying to take this piece of land you've got your eye on. This is just too unfair."
Jiang Yue smiled and comforted Madam Lu, "It's alright, Mom. Not being able to buy this land only means that we weren't as well-prepared as others."
"If we lose this piece of land, we can just buy another one."
"But wasn't this the piece of land you had your eye on the most?" Madam Lu looked at Jiang Yue with heartache. Yueyue had worked so hard for so long, but in the end, this piece of land was snatched away by someone else. If it were her, she would definitely be unwilling to accept it.
"This piece of land is indeed the one I'm most interested in, but the other pieces are not bad either. We'll just wait for an opportunity."
Jiang Yue was quite open-minded. Anyway, the land already belonged to someone else, so there was no point in her being angry. Besides, she was pregnant, and being angry would be bad for the baby in her womb.
Soon, the test results came out. Jiang Yue and Madam Lu took the results to the doctor, who confirmed that the results were fine, so Jiang Yue and Madam Lu went home reassured.
As soon as Jiang Yue got home, she received a call from Lu Yan, who said that Pei Huai wanted to invite them to dinner the next day to discuss the land cooperation.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and instead of immediately getting Lu Yan to agree, she called Shen Huaiyuan.
The company doesn't belong to her; she needs to discuss it with her uncle first.
When Shen Huaiyuan received Jiang Yue's call, he was at a construction site in City A. The land they had bought had already started construction this spring, and the project was now two-thirds complete, with only two more days until it was finished.
Upon hearing Jiang Yue say that the land in Kyoto had been auctioned off, but the other party had partnered with them after winning the bid, Shen Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the workers not far away.
"Yueyue, even a pig could make a fortune by bidding on this land. But after they won the bid, they want to cooperate with us. They're practically giving us money. What are they after?"
Yes, that's something Jiang Yue can't understand either. What is Pei Huai after?
"Uncle, this Pei Huai has some connection with the Lu family; they have a child..."
Soon, Jiang Yue told Shen Huaiyuan about cooking for Pei Huai's children.
Shen Huaiyuan blinked after hearing this. "So he's after you?"
"How is that possible?"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes speechlessly. "I'm already married, and I'm heavily pregnant. Unless he has some kind of perverted hobby, he wouldn't be interested in me."
Shen Huaiyuan: "..." His niece really had no idea about her own charm.
"So he just wants to curry favor with you and keep having you cook for his kids, that's why he's so eager to cooperate with us." Shen Huaiyuan said with a smile, "It would be foolish not to take money that's offered to you."
Since Yueyue wants to cooperate with us, I think we can agree. The plan you told me before was very good; he won't lose out by cooperating with us.ā
Upon hearing Shen Huaiyuan's agreement, Jiang Yue knew what to do.
She thought the same as her uncle: money delivered to their door for free, why not take it?
"You can handle this project, Yueyue. I'm in City A right now and can't go to Kyoto for the time being. If you need anything, just call your uncle."
Shen Huaiyuan gave Jiang Yue one last piece of advice, still feeling uneasy.
"I understand, Uncle."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue told Lu Yan that she had accepted Pei Huai's invitation to dinner the next day.
Now that she had decided to cooperate with Pei Huai, Jiang Yue naturally couldn't be negligent. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue went back to her room to start making plans.
The next day, at noon.
After Jiang Yue had the kitchen helper take away the lunch she had made for Dongdong, she and Lu Yan took a car to the Kyoto Grand Hotel.
When they arrived, Pei Huai had been waiting for them for a long time.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue, Pei Huai's eyes immediately lit up with a smile. "President Jiang, thank you very much for coming."
Pei Huai opened the car door for Jiang Yue and stood by the car watching her get out.
He wanted to help Jiang Yue, but he was afraid that doing so would be too abrupt, so he didn't dare to reach out.
"We should be thanking President Pei for giving us this opportunity."
Jiang Yue smiled and walked inside with Pei Huai.
This time, Pei Huai prepared the same private room as last time. Not knowing what Jiang Yue liked to eat, Pei Huai had the hotel's chef cook almost every kind of dish in the hotel.
In the end, there wasn't enough room on the table.
Jiang Yue and Lu Yan were both stunned; this President Pei was too generous.
This meal will cost at least several thousand yuan, which is equivalent to one or two years' income for an average family.
"President Pei, this is enough. The three of us can't eat this much."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but remind her.
She had a glass of juice when she arrived, but she didn't have much of an appetite right now.
Lu Yan can eat a lot, but not this much.
Upon hearing this, Pei Huai gestured for the waiter to leave first, and said to Jiang Yue with a smile, "These are all the signature dishes of our hotel's chef. Ms. Jiang, please try them and see which ones you like. Next time you come, I will have them prepare them for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Pei."
Jiang Yue smiled politely, then got straight to the point and started talking to Pei Huai about the collaboration.
Lu Yan didn't understand any of this. He quietly ate while listening to Jiang Yue and Pei Huai talk about their collaboration. The more Lu Yan listened, the more he admired Jiang Yue. His sister-in-law was really amazing. Pei Huai was stunned by what she said.
The meal lasted for more than two hours. In the end, Pei Huai looked at Jiang Yue with a look of surprise and a hint of something that Lu Yan couldn't quite understand.
It was a mix of regret and admiration; it was incredibly complex.
āIām really glad I made the decision to cooperate with President Jiang, otherwise this land would never have been able to realize its full value in my hands.ā
He thought he was giving Jiang Yue money, but he never expected that he would be the one to benefit in the end.
"President Jiang, we've talked for so long, and I have a bold idea. I wonder if you would agree?"
