"How does it feel to have your plans fall through?" Kuller said in a low voice, a smile spreading across his eyes.
Li Yazhen glared at him, her hands clenched tightly but unable to punch away his smile.
She'd been tricked this time...
Kule never intended to cooperate with the S Group in the first place; he was just using her as a shield?
Li Yazhen gradually regained her composure. "Congratulations on successfully selling Katie."
Kuller wasn't angry. He casually patted his suit and said, "Katie is still Katie."
Han Renji narrowed his eyes. Did this mean that the Cartier brand still existed?
Initially, they coveted Cartier's technology. However, after conducting market research, they considered retaining the Cartier brand, since it consistently ranked among the top ten high-end appliance brands and was worth preserving.
Katie's senior executives entered the hotel one after another without exchanging pleasantries with them.
Li Yazhen watched their retreating figures thoughtfully. "Find a way to investigate the contents of their contract. What exactly did Hairun promise that made Kule willing to give up a large sum of money to sign with them?"
Han Renji nodded. "I'll have someone investigate immediately."
Li Yazhen is a vengeful person; she won't let this frustrating negotiation go so easily.
S Electric Appliances has already expanded to all provinces and cities in China, so stopping Hairun's expansion would be a piece of cake.
Over the next month, S Appliances used vouchers to subsidize the sales of various home appliance categories, which boosted sales, maintained a high reputation, and also took the opportunity to criticize Hairun Appliances.
But Hairun Appliances seemed oblivious, continuing to sell goods in its own way.
Prices only fluctuate during holidays and store anniversaries.
Li Yazhen's deliberate targeting failed to achieve its intended effect, like punching cotton – it neither hurt nor itched.
Unbeknownst to her, Hairun Electric has already reached a technological integration agreement with Kati, preparing to launch a new Kati industrial refrigeration unit.
This refrigeration unit was quickly snapped up by major corporations and companies as soon as it was launched.
Cartier has once again achieved a sales miracle, with sales increasing despite a dismal market for industrial refrigeration units.
Ren Donglai originally wanted to open more branches of Hairun Electric Appliances in China, but after seeing Kati's profits, he remained silent.
It doesn't matter where you make money.
He is no longer fixated on the domestic market, but instead has high expectations for high-end appliances.
Time flies, and another month has passed. S Appliances wanted to adjust the prices of its appliances before the Chinese New Year, but found that it had shot itself in the foot. If it lowered the prices again, it would have no profit.
The twins, who didn't have a full-month celebration, celebrated their 100th day.
Lin Ziyan plans to hold a grand banquet this time, with more than 20 tables, inviting only her closest relatives and friends.
She also personally made a two-layer cake, getting up early to get busy.
Lu Yunshen's parents took the opportunity to take leave and come to Fuzhou to see the twins.
The two arrived, each hugging one of them, reluctant to let go.
“Yun Shen, you previously suggested that the twins draw lots to choose their surnames. I think that’s a good idea,” Mr. Lu suggested.
The twins only had nicknames and weren't even registered in the household registration system.
Lu's mother also promptly expressed her opinion, "I think it's acceptable too."
"It doesn't matter what their surname is, they are all your children."
Lu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, surprised that the two accepted so easily.
But upon closer reflection, he understood.
He married Ziyan without a formal marriage ceremony, so their child wouldn't necessarily have to take the father's surname.
Grandma Lan smiled and said, "I think it's fine. When they grow up, no one can blame them; they caught it themselves."
Lu Yunshen: "Then arrest them now?"
"Little Lemon, Little Potato, you can grab whichever one you want later." Grandma Lan held the two children's hands.
Jiaojiao sat on a small stool, looking at the two babies with her eyes narrowed into slits.
Lemon, Bean.
Their nicknames were given to them by her and her second sister.
Mengmeng is a girl with fair skin and rosy cheeks. She has long, slender little fingers and often has teary eyes.
DouDou is a boy, chubby-cheeked, often with a serious face, his bright black eyes blinking as if he knows everything.
Lin Ziyan had already prepared the items for the lottery, but not the surname.
When they made this suggestion, she wrote her surname on the prepared items.
Abacus, calligraphy brush, books, toy guns, palettes, etc.
She wrote her surname on the abacus and the brush.
The courtyard is currently bustling with preparations for the banquet, and the aroma wafts in from outside.
A large number of people gathered in the main room, and everyone found the things on display novel.
The chubby girl was holding the little dumpling's hand. As soon as she let go, the little dumpling crawled over and grabbed the abacus.
Lin Ziyan's eyes lit up with a smile, "It seems your little dumpling will be going to do business in the future."
“Doing business is good, like me.” The chubby girl quickly picked up the little dumpling.
My daughter is almost one year old and can already say "daddy" and "mommy," but she's not very steady on her feet yet.
Aunt Chen blushed upon hearing her daughter's words and wanted to cover her face and go home.
Grandma Lin took the little dumpling and said with a smile, "Our little dumpling will do big business in the future."
The little dumpling had beautiful eyes, and her rosy cheeks relaxed as she said, "Grandma..."
Everyone was beaming with joy and showered the little dumpling with praise.
While they weren't looking, DouDou grabbed the abacus, and MengMeng grabbed the calligraphy brush.
Mr. Lu was overjoyed; Mengmeng's surname was Lu.
Lu Yun Shen picked up his daughter, making her giggle.
Lin Atai's eyes reddened slightly, she patted Dou Dou's little hand, and her nose tingled with emotion.
Compared to their excitement, Lin Ziyan was much calmer.
In her view, it doesn't matter what their surnames are, since they are both her children anyway.
The reason for drawing lots was to make the elders feel at ease, and she was willing to cooperate.
While the elders held the children, Lin Ziyan pulled the chubby girl into the kitchen to make a cake.
Lu Yun Shen was left to take care of the guests outside, while she focused on preparing the cake for the twins' 100-day celebration.
"Mengmeng is getting cuter and cuter, while Doudou is still so serious," the chubby girl muttered.
She helped beat the eggs, switching to her right hand when her left hand got tired.
Lin Ziyan said, "The little dumpling is cute too. Mengmeng is too thin. She drinks much less milk than Doudou now."
The chubby girl laughed and said, "You two are both thin, it would be strange if your child grew up to be chubby."
The two laughed and chatted casually.
The two of them only came out of the kitchen after the cake was made and put in the refrigerator.
They wanted to hug the child, but they couldn't beat the elders to it.
The little dumpling clung to Grandma Lin, Mengmeng hugged Grandma Lan tightly, and Doudou clung to Grandma Lu.
"You all hurry upstairs, the young people are all on the terrace," Lin Atai said, pointing upstairs.
Uncle Chen and Cao De were drinking with the village secretary, and by then their faces were flushed.
The chubby girl pouted and followed Lin Ziyan upstairs.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, as everyone chatted and laughed.
Lin Ziyan greeted the other tables before going upstairs.
"If you two don't come up soon, we'll finish the wine." Sister Fang poured the wine, a blush creeping up her neck.
Lu Qiuying and Pei Zhuling were both there.
The three of them sat around a small table, while the men sat at the small table next to them.
Lu Yunshen, Xiao Jin, Yang Yanzhou, Song Yi and others were chatting idly.
"There are two cases of wine in the living room. Drink as much as you want. If you get drunk, you can walk back home leaning against the wall." Lin Ziyan sat down next to Fang Jie and smiled slyly.
