Chapter 246 Bai Jiaqing Doesn't Understand
Wei Yinchao gave He Ziqian a look, and He Ziqian immediately stood up and said with a smile, "The other three companies can go back now. We will inform you of the bidding results later."
Chen Zhaoyan's initial anxiety had subsided, and upon realizing the situation, he smiled broadly, leading his employees to stand up first: "Alright, Mr. He, Mr. Wei, Ms. Yan, you can handle this first, I'll leave now and wait for news."
He Ziqian shook hands with him politely, and the Dong and Yu families followed him out one after another.
Apart from the people from GuMei, only Huo Qingshi and Bai Jiaqing, along with four employees behind them, remained in the conference room.
"I... I was just revealing the truth!"
When Huo Qing asked her this question, Bai Jiaqing reacted quite strongly, her fingers gripping the corner of the folder tightly until her fingertips turned white rapidly.
"Yan Kui! What exactly do you want to do?!"
"A tender? What's wrong?"
Yan Kui spoke casually, her emotions frighteningly stable.
"You did this on purpose! The man next to you is the owner of Gumei, and you already knew that my Bai family and Huo family were going to participate in the bidding. You're deliberately trying to embarrass us!"
Yan Kui nodded generously: "Yes, you've been invited, but isn't it your own decision whether you come or not?"
Bai Jiaqing could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears. The project was gone, and Huo Qingshi had found out what she had done. How was she supposed to maintain her public image now?
"Yan Kui, you are truly vicious!"
Yan Kui laughed out loud at these words, got up and walked down, her gaze seemingly trying to pierce through Bai Jiaqing.
He said, word by word, "Do you remember what I told you when I left the Yan family?"
Bai Jiaqing was now on the verge of a breakdown and tried to retort: "You're arrogant and domineering. You slapped me first!"
"Really? Then do you want to think about what you said to the person next to you before I slapped you?"
The scene from that day seemed to replay in Bai Jiaqing's mind again. She struggled to say, "Others said those insults to you too..."
Yan Kui didn't care to listen to any of that: "I'm just asking you, do you remember what I said to you when I left the Yan family?"
Bai Jiaqing's memory returned, recalling how disheveled Yan Kui looked when she left that day, carrying only a small bag. So she urged Yan's family to check her bag and confiscate the money from her bank card.
They wouldn't let her take a single penny.
They didn't care at all that Yan Kui was just an undergraduate student at the time.
She was filled with hatred at the time, her mind filled with nothing but wanting Yan Kui to go back to the countryside as soon as possible, to see her rolling around in the mud all day long, and preferably never to return to Nanshi.
The thought of Yan Kui, toiling in the fields and struggling at the bottom of society, filled Bai Jiaqing with a strange sense of satisfaction.
So what if they're arrogant?
Look, a once high and mighty pearl is about to be turned into a snail that can only work in the fields.
I hope she never leaves the mountains and is forever trapped in her birthplace.
Bai Jiaqing admitted that she had spoken ill of Yan Kui, but Yan Kui had slapped her hard across the face in front of so many people.
She had reason to retaliate, so what was wrong with that?
But after so much time has passed, Yan Kui has actually returned to Nanshi with the project that everyone was fighting so hard for.
Why?
On what grounds?
Bai Jiaqing didn't understand.
Overwhelmed by a feeling of defeat, tears streamed down Bai Jiaqing's face as she slumped into the office chair behind her.
The sobs were suppressed and unbearable.
"Don't cry."
Huo Qingshi sighed and gently patted her back.
Bai Jiaqing, her face streaked with tears, looked up and sobbed, "Will you divorce me?"
Huo Qingshi knelt down and wiped away her tears with his hand: "No, the most important thing now is to solve the company's current financial difficulties."
"Aunt Qin still has a project to work on. Let's calm down and go over tomorrow."
