"Fourth Master, you're too kind. How could I let you treat me?"
"Qin Xiulian quickly stood up and said nervously.
In Qin Xiulian's view, it was already a great honor to meet such an important person as Hong Sihai tonight, so how could she let him treat her to a meal?
"It's alright, Mrs. Lin."
"The Lin Group suffered suppression before because I failed to manage my subordinates properly, so this meal is on me."
Seeing Hong Sihai's response, Qin Xiulian knew better than to say anything more.
However, it's easy to tell from the smile on her face that she's in a good mood.
It was such an honor that the renowned Hong Sihai of Jingzhou invited their entire family to dinner.
This greatly satisfied Qin Xiulian's vanity.
From now on, Qin Xiulian will have something to brag about to her relatives and friends.
See? The famous Fourth Master of Jingzhou invited me to dinner.
"Sit down, sit down, let's eat and chat," Hong Sihai said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Fourth Master." Lin Ruoxi nodded.
As time goes by little by little.
The atmosphere in the private room was not as oppressive as it had been at the beginning, and Qin Xiulian and the others gradually relaxed.
Suddenly, Qin Xiulian thought of something and looked at Hong Sihai.
"Fourth Master, I have a question that I would like to ask you to answer."
“Mrs. Lin, please speak frankly,” Hong Sihai said.
"Your group has lifted its suppression of the Lin Group and is cooperating with the Lin Group."
"Was the chairman of the Zhang Group involved in communicating behind this series of operations?" Qin Xiulian asked Hong Sihai.
Although Zhang Qiang had just been severely punished by Hong Sihai.
But Qin Xiulian felt that Zhang Qiang must have said something wrong to anger Hong Sihai.
Even now, Qin Xiulian still believes that it was Zhang Qiang's father who stepped in to help.
She did this simply because she wanted Hong Sihai to admit it himself.
If Hong Sihai admits it, it will prove that Ye Chen is lying.
In this way, Qin Xiulian felt that her daughter would have a clear understanding.
Lin Ruoxi knew exactly why her mother asked that question, which suited her perfectly.
"Fourth Master, please tell me the truth."
Hong Sihai glanced at Ye Chen subconsciously.
This matter requires Ye Chen's opinion; he dared not answer rashly.
Ye Chen nodded slightly to Hong Sihai, it's better to talk about this kind of thing.
To avoid Lin Ruoxi's mother continuing to hold prejudices against her.
Seeing Ye Chen nod, Hong Sihai understood what to do.
"Mrs. Lin, this matter actually has nothing to do with the Zhang Group."
"None of the senior executives of Sihai Group, including myself, have communicated with anyone from Zhang's Group," Hong Sihai said with a smile.
"Ah?!" Qin Xiulian exclaimed in surprise, her face full of astonishment.
"Fourth Master, have you really not been in contact with anyone from the Zhang Group?"
“Zhang Qiang just said that all of this was done with his father’s help, otherwise the Lin Group would still be being suppressed.”
“Then I think Madam Lin must have been deceived,” Hong Sihai said.
"Besides, the Zhang Group is not qualified."
This isn't Hong Sihai being arrogant; it's just the truth.
The Zhang Group is truly like an ant compared to the Sihai Group.
To outsiders, the chairman of the Zhang Group is incredibly powerful.
But in Hong Sihai's eyes, it was insignificant; that's the difference in strength.
If these words had come from anyone else, Qin Xiulian certainly wouldn't have believed them.
But Hong Sihai confirmed that she had no choice but to believe it.
"Fourth Master, if it's not the Zhang Group, then who could it be?"
Qin Xiulian asked again, her own curiosity growing.
Hong Sihai looked at Ye Chen again.
Seeing that Ye Chen did not intend to stop him, Hong Sihai turned his gaze to Qin Xiulian.
“Ye Chen,” Hong Sihai said.
The room fell silent immediately upon hearing this.
Qin Xiulian opened her mouth, her eyes wide open.
Qin Xiulian's heart was immediately filled with turbulent emotions.
She never imagined that the person who would help her daughter solve her problem would be Ye Chen.
For a moment, Qin Xiulian felt her mind was in complete disarray.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up, and her face beamed with joy.
"Mom, did you hear that? I told you it was Ye Chen, but you just wouldn't believe me."
"Now that Fourth Master has admitted it himself, you should believe it, right?"
Qin Xiulian was speechless; how could she not believe it under these circumstances?
The news was so shocking that she hadn't processed it yet.
When Qin Xiulian came to her senses, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
Hong Sihai only collaborated with his daughter because of Ye Chen.
It could make the renowned Hong Sihai willing.
This shows that Ye Chen has a powerful background and is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface.
Qin Xiulian initially held a prejudice against Ye Chen.
She thought Ye Chen was useless and just a freeloader, so she disliked him very much.
Qin Xiulian's attitude towards Ye Chen clearly showed her disdain.
Therefore, her words were sometimes barbed, and she repeatedly told Ye Chen to stay away from her daughter.
Now, when Qin Xiulian thinks back on these things, she feels somewhat uneasy.
If Ye Chen were to retaliate against her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Xiulian looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression.
This left her so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ye Chen took in Qin Xiulian's reaction.
I have to say, this feeling is really great. Let's see if I dare to underestimate myself again.
"Mrs. Lin, do you have any other questions?" Hong Sihai asked Qin Xiulian.
"Ah, no, no, none of them."
Qin Xiulian, realizing what was happening, quickly said...
To be honest, she's in a very awkward position right now; she can't stay, and she can't leave.
