Chapter 199: Dragging down Han Xi
Shengshi Group.
The father and daughter were sitting in the office with gloomy faces when the secretary knocked on the door and said, "Han's got a reply."
Sheng Qianrui frowned slightly, and Sheng Jinghui beside her asked, "What do you mean?"
Secretary: "Han agreed to Mr. Sheng's request to participate in the project, but..."
"But what?" Sheng Qianrui's brows were sharp.
"Their person in charge said that they can continue to hand over 30% of the project construction work to Shengshi Group as requested by President Sheng. As for President Sheng's desire to participate in the project, that's fine, but..."
The secretary glanced nervously at the two bosses and whispered, "After the Taihu Bay project is completed, Shengshi Group is welcome to come and visit as one of the contractors. As for everything else...it has nothing to do with Shengshi Group."
"Is he planning to kick us out of Shengshi once his wish is fulfilled?!"
It was obvious who Sheng Qianrui was talking about.
Not only her, but even Sheng Jinghui behind the desk had a grim expression on his face.
The office was silent for two seconds, and Sheng Qianrui suddenly smiled coldly: "Dad, did you see that? This is the Han family. You helped Han Jewelry through its difficult times and withstood the pressure from shareholders. Now they have taken the lead and don't even take our Shengshi seriously."
Sheng Jinghui stared at me for a moment and sighed slightly, "To be honest, I didn't really want to help Han's back then. It was just that your grandfather was unhappy with me because of an investment project, and your second uncle was eyeing me covetously from behind. I was also optimistic about the development prospects of Han's Jewelry, so I invested that money."
"So what? It's an indisputable fact that you helped the Han family. If it weren't for you, the Han family wouldn't be where they are today. They might have gone bankrupt long ago. What the Han family is doing now is just ungrateful and ungrateful!"
Sheng Qianrui stood up suddenly and said, "No, we can't just let others do whatever they want. I want to go to the Han Group in person and talk to Han Xi about it."
Seeing his daughter storming out, Sheng Jinghui immediately stopped her: "Qian Rui!"
"Back then, I only invested a few million, but later on, your Uncle Han gave our Shengshi a project worth hundreds of millions for free. So, we didn't lose out!"
"......" Sheng Qianrui stopped.
Sheng Jinghui: "The real estate industry has been declining over the years, and the emerging industries that Shengshi wanted to transform and invest in have not made much of a splash. If it weren't for the Han family's support, our Shengshi would have collapsed."
Sheng Qianrui turned around: "But..."
"I know you're arrogant and have been secretly competing with Han Xi, but have you ever considered that, given the relationship between our two families, you and him don't necessarily have to be competitors. If you change your approach, you might end up with a win-win situation?"
"Change, another way?"
Sheng Jinghui stood up, shook his head helplessly, walked towards Sheng Qianrui, patted her shoulder and said, "I met your Uncle Han yesterday. Guess what he said to me?"
Sheng Qianrui's red lips moved slightly: "What?"
"He took the initiative to bring up the matter between you and Han Xi."
"You said..." Sheng Qianrui frowned unexpectedly: "Uncle Han has always disliked..."
Sheng Jinghui curled his lips: "Then why do you think he suddenly changed his mind now?"
Sheng Qianrui said nothing, but lowered her eyes in thought.
After a moment, he looked up at his father and asked, "Is it because of Han Xi?"
Sheng Jinghui smiled inscrutable and nodded gently, "Han Xi has developed too fast in recent years. The huge Han Group has become his one-man show. Even if your uncle Han is no longer there, he founded the Han Group. How can he bear to see his son showing off his power over him?"
Sheng Qianrui pursed her red lips, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
"Qian Rui." Sheng Jinghui patted her shoulder and said, "In the past, our Shengshi was very powerful, and your uncle Han was worried that the marriage between the two families would make the Sheng family a powerful helper for Han Xi, but now..."
He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Perhaps this is what they call "there is gain in loss". Shengshi is on the verge of collapse. If you stay with Han Xi now, not only will we not be able to help Han Xi, but we may also have to constantly seek opportunities from him for the sake of Shengshi. This is exactly what he sees."
Sheng Qianrui opened her lips and exclaimed, "So, he didn't give in...just to get us to bring down Han Xi?"
The father and daughter looked at each other, and both frowned and remained silent while expressing their feelings.
The Han family was clearly on a good track, but unexpectedly, there were frequent internal conflicts.
A father and son, in order to gain the right to speak in the company, actually fought openly and secretly against each other.
"Dad knows that you've always been a child with your own ideas, and I also know that you don't have any feelings for Han Xi. But for families like ours, marriage sometimes can't just be about mutual affection. We need to consider the interests behind it."
Sheng Jinghui sighed and continued, "Although you are now entering the game as a pawn, no one can predict what the outcome will be. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us at Shengshi. Even if you don't like this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll have to let you down."
Sheng Qianrui didn't say anything.
Don’t like…?
Thinking of the man who had always been superior to her since childhood, she thought he would only be her target and rival!
But now...
Sheng Qianrui's mind suddenly flashed back to that day outside the coffee shop when he told her to go see a doctor with an expressionless face.
He has always been indifferent to everyone since he was a child, but why did he suddenly change?
She was just an ordinary woman with some beauty in appearance, but she was worthy of his anger. He actually targeted her in front of that woman!
A feeling of resentment and anger gradually welled up in Sheng Qianrui's heart, mixed with a strong desire to win.
Seeing his daughter's unhappy expression, Sheng Jinghui thought she was unwilling.
After thinking for a moment, he reminded: "Don't forget that Sun Zhixin's whereabouts are still unknown. Do you think this matter has nothing to do with Han Xi?"
Sun Zhixin.......
Sheng Qianrui raised her eyes suddenly and said, "Okay, let's do as Dad says."
.......afternoon.
Fang Li came out of the building after get off work and didn't see Han Xi's car. Just as she was about to take out her cell phone to ask, the phone rang.
Seeing the familiar number, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she thought of something, lowered her face and picked up the phone, saying in a light tone: "Yeah."
It was just a light syllable, but unexpectedly it caused the man opposite to laugh softly.
"Who made our Ali angry?"
Every time Fang Li heard a man say "our A Li", her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat and she couldn't stand the itch.
She couldn't pretend anymore, so she cleared her throat and asked as usual, "Are you not off work yet?"
Han Xi: "The Taihu Bay project has just started, so it will be quite busy."
"Oh, then you go ahead and I'll go back with Brother Tian."
"Be careful on the road."
"Um."
Yu Tian happened to be driving over. Fang Li waved and was about to hang up the phone and get in the car when she heard the man on the other end say, "Wait."
The car pulled over, Fang Li opened the door and asked as she got in, "What?"
There was silence for a few seconds, and then a sincere voice came over: "Don't wait for me for dinner. I have an appointment tonight, and I will try to come back early."
Fang Li pursed her lips: "I understand."
"Ali."
"Anything else?"
"........Nothing." The man chuckled, "I just wanted to call you."
Fang Li couldn't help but curl her lips: "Drink less, I'm hanging up."
"Um."
Watching her CEO hang up the phone, Elara, who was standing quietly beside him, spoke at the right time: "Boss Han, there's a call from Tan Palace. The people we invited are almost here. When are we leaving?"
The tenderness in the eyes of the man standing by the window gradually faded away, and he returned to his usual coldness.
The moment the tall figure turned around, there was only silence, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Let's go."
