Zhao Meng'er thoughtfully poured tea for the four elders and Luo Luo.
Chen Fen and Luo Chengfang nodded in agreement.
They're determined to have this daughter-in-law; even Jesus couldn't change that.
They've already admitted it.
Zhao Meng'er smiled slightly.
"Auntie, there's something I'd like to tell you."
"What's up?"
Chen Fen drank the tea poured by Zhao Meng'er and inexplicably found it tasted much better.
Or perhaps, she thought of how Zhao Meng'er served tea at her wedding to Luo Chen.
"It's about the Xicheng District project."
"Xicheng District?"
Chen Fen glanced at Zhao Meng'er with a puzzled look, then exchanged a look with her husband, Luo Chengfang.
I didn't understand what Zhao Meng'er was trying to say.
"Yes, although Aunt and Uncle are no longer managing the Luo Group, I know you will still keep an eye on the situation within the group."
Zhao Meng'er said, "The West District project is the biggest project in Ningcheng recently, and many groups are eyeing it and want to cooperate with Tianhai Company."
"Meng'er, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Zhao's mother didn't understand either: "Although the project in the West District is very tempting, to put it bluntly, apart from the four major groups that have the ability to take it over, the other groups simply don't have the ability to acquire or actually operate it."
“I agree with that. Our Zhao family is not a first-rate family, but to be bold, apart from the four major families, we are not afraid of any other family. However, if we want to participate in the West District project, there will be a lot of pressure.” Zhao’s father also said.
"Meng'er, when you bring this up, I'm afraid you're trying to say something, aren't you?"
Chen Fen guessed some of it.
"Although my husband and I have stopped managing the Luo family business and handed it over to you and Chen'er, we also know that the West District project already belongs to our Luo family."
"Although the Luo family is a joint venture partner in the Xicheng District project, we still need to invest 80 billion yuan to take it over. After all, it's all for the purpose of creating the future premier economic zone. The Luo family can afford 80 billion yuan. As for the future profits, putting aside my many years of business experience, I think the investment is very worthwhile just from the prospects alone."
Luo Chengfang shared his thoughts.
Zhao Meng'er was speechless.
She suddenly remembered Luo Chen's thoughts.
The protagonist's halo makes them stupid.
But we can't blame them for that.
If she hadn't been able to hear Luo Chen's thoughts, she would have felt the same way as them, thinking it was all worthwhile, as long as she signed the contract, she could wait for future rewards.
They don't bother to investigate anything in depth.
But things are different now.
Zhao Meng'er shook her head slightly: "I wonder if Uncle and Aunt have looked into Tianhai Company?"
Chen Fen and the other woman were taken aback, wondering how the Xicheng District had gotten involved with Tianhai Company.
Although Tianhai Company cannot compare with the four major companies, it is still an established company with a guaranteed reputation and credibility.
Furthermore, the fact that Tianhai Company has cooperated with Ningcheng officials on multiple occasions undoubtedly further confirms its strong capabilities.
"Meng'er, what are you trying to tell us?"
Despite her confusion, Chen Fen did not refute Zhao Meng'er because of her affection for her and her ability to carry out her orders. Instead, she began to realize that there seemed to be something they did not know about this.
Zhao Meng'er didn't mince words and said, "There was a residential area in the North District where the owners had already paid their money, but the buildings collapsed. The land was originally the responsibility of Tianhai Company, but later another small company took over the responsibility."
"The highway leading to Yan Province cracked shortly after its completion. To contract a highway, one must have both strength and connections; otherwise, it would be impossible. Yet, problems still arose, and a contractor was arrested for shoddy workmanship."
Zhao Meng'er poured tea for Chen Fen again and said slowly, "The original person in charge of that highway leading to Yan Province was Tianhai Company, so... Auntie, and Uncle, what I want to say is that some things look good on the surface, but if you don't look closely, you won't be able to detect the filth hidden in the shadows."
"..."
Chen Fen, Luo Chengfang, and Zhao's father and mother remained silent.
Zhao Meng'er's words were clear enough; they were all seasoned business people, so how could they not understand what she meant?
There's something wrong with this Tianhai company.
"Oh, right, there's also the fact that Tianhai Company earns tens of billions in profits every year, which is actually a trick used by foreign behind-the-scenes manipulators to make Tianhai Company appear powerful and attract more investment."
Zhao Meng'er put down the teapot and looked at everyone.
"In reality, Tianhai Company's annual profit is less than 100 million yuan. It sounds unbelievable to most people, but it's true."
Zhao Meng'er's gaze fell on Chen Fen and Luo Chengfang.
"This matter has been confirmed. If Aunt and Uncle do not believe it, they can have the Luo family's intelligence department verify it again."
"No, we believe..."
I thought Chen Fen and Luo Chengfang would be shocked, but they recovered immediately.
Zhao Meng'er couldn't help but admire him; he truly deserved to be the person who, in just a few decades, built the Luo family from scratch into a pseudo-super family.
Most importantly, it also saved a lot of effort.
Looking at Zhao Meng'er, Chen Fen felt even more fond of her, and her daughter-in-law's status in her heart rose even further.
“Meng’er, I believe you. First of all, you have no reason to lie to us. Besides, although we are old, we are not senile. We can tell that something is wrong after listening to just a few words.”
"So, I believe you. My Chen'er is lucky to have a wife like you, and the Luo family is fortunate as well."
Chen Fen's words made Zhao's father and mother feel proud.
The more outstanding Zhao Meng'er is, the more proud they are.
At home, Zhao Meng'er was the Zhao family's little cotton-padded jacket, the kind that's always there for them. Now that she's all grown up, even the most beautiful cabbage has to be picked.
The more Chen Fen and Luo Chengfang liked their daughter, the more at ease Zhao's father and mother felt.
At least in the days to come, their daughter's life will not cause them any worry.
"It's a bit too late to find out now..."
Luo Chengfang frowned with worry: "If we had known that Tianhai Company would be like this, we definitely wouldn't have signed the contract with them. But now it's too late to say anything. The contract has already been signed, and it's too late to avoid trouble."
"Uncle, you're right. There are some inside stories about how Tianhai Company was able to get control of the Xicheng District project. I can't say too much about them, but the only purpose of Tianhai Company in finding a joint venture partner was to make money."
“Tianhai Company didn’t actually handle any of the demolitions and layoffs in the Xicheng District project, leaving behind a huge mess, all in order to siphon off the money invested by the joint venture partners,” Zhao Meng’er dropped another bombshell.
“Although we business people are often accused of being immoral and capitalist, there are still bottom lines in this kind of thing. Doesn’t Tianhai Company fear legal sanctions for doing this? How dare they do it?”
Luo Chengfang was somewhat angry: "Although it may not actually have hundreds of billions in profits a year, it is still an established company. Ningcheng is only so big. Where does Tianhai Company get such audacity? Even if they have a good relationship with the Ningcheng government, do they have the guts to help Tianhai Company bear the burden of hundreds of billions of yuan?"
"Uncle, they really dare to do that!"
"What!" Luo Chengfang was startled and slammed his hand on the table in astonishment.
Even the others looked on in disbelief.
