Chapter 35: I didn't call her.
Rong Shu turned to look at him.
Liu Lihua quickly stepped forward to get him slippers and took his black coat.
Pei Lanhua happened to come out of the room and saw Sheng Tingchen returning. She asked, "Have you eaten?"
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement and then went upstairs.
Rong Shu silently withdrew her gaze.
The next day.
When Pei Lanhua called Rong Qingshan, Rong Qingshan told her that the other party would re-evaluate Huihe before deciding whether to sign a contract.
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu couldn't help but become suspicious. Usually, when this situation occurs close to the signing of a contract, people make excuses to refuse, and there is a 90% chance that the contract will not be signed in the end.
Clearly, this was the problem at the last minute, and it certainly wasn't Huihe's fault. It seems someone else interfered, causing the other party to back out.
This is a common occurrence in business competition.
Once a large company refuses to acquire you, it will be very difficult to find a suitable company and price later.
Rong Shu wanted to go back and have a detailed talk with her father. Pei Lanhua was also unable to rest easy, so she finally decided to go home today.
Sheng Tingchen did not go out today.
Rong Shu should go and tell him.
We went upstairs.
He wasn't in the study; he must have been in the bedroom. The bedroom door wasn't closed, so she went in. The man's master bedroom was very spacious, mainly decorated in cool tones, with a simple yet luxurious feel. There were virtually no superfluous decorations. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see a calm lake outside.
The man is in the bathroom.
She must have just finished working out and was taking a shower.
Rong Shu prepared to wait outside.
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening from the direction of the bathroom, she stood still. The man came out of the bathroom wearing a dark blue bathrobe, his hair was half dry, with stray hairs falling in front of his forehead, and his deep features were clean and jade-like.
When he saw Rong Shu, his eyes darkened, and he asked, "What is it?"
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze and said, "I just came to tell you that Aunt Pei and I are going home today."
Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything.
Rong Shu didn't linger and turned to leave the room.
An hour later.
Rong Shu and Pei Lanhua returned to the Mantang Mansion.
Pei Yu is also at home today.
"Dad, brother!"
Pei Yu looked at Rong Shu and said, "It's been a while since I've seen you. Your belly is so big, you must be about to give birth!"
"Yes, my due date is around the middle of next month."
Pei Yu nodded. "Take good care of yourself."
The housekeeper we hired prepared lunch.
The family sat at the dining table, eating and chatting.
Rong Qingshan mentioned that the headquarters of Mingqi Real Estate Company is located in Shanghai. Mingqi is backed by MK Group and has strong capital strength.
The other party evaluated the matter for more than a month, during which the negotiations went very smoothly.
Anyway, we just don't know why the other party wants to re-evaluate.
As Rong Shu listened, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. If this matter wasn't handled well, her father and Aunt Pei probably wouldn't be in the mood to hold the wedding.
"Let's wait until tomorrow, Monday, and see if we can arrange to have lunch with Mr. Gao from Mingqi. We'll see if we can find out anything then."
Pei Yu said, "Then, if you made an appointment with me tomorrow, I'll go with you to take a look."
Rong Qingshan hummed in agreement.
After we finished discussing this matter...
Rong Qingshan asked about Rong Shu's situation.
Rong Shu said, "I'm doing fine now, Dad, you don't need to worry."
"That's good."
this day.
Rong Shu stayed in the Rong family.
Rong Shu returned to her room, took out her phone, and dialed a number. The other party answered quickly. Rong Shu said, "Sister Fang, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other. How have you been?"
When Rong Shu was Sheng Tingchen's assistant, she had connections with many senior executives of large companies. Yun Shan and MK had a deep cooperative relationship. The "Sister Fang" she mentioned is a senior leader of the MK Group.
Because of their previous collaboration, when Sister Fang came here on a business trip, Rong Shu took her sightseeing in Beijing, enjoying food, drinks, and entertainment. Although Sister Fang was more than ten years older than her, they got along quite well.
The two have maintained contact ever since.
However, after she was demoted, Sister Fang went abroad to handle business, and the only time she contacted her was because she learned that she had been demoted.
As for the reasons behind it, Rong Shu did not explain further.
Upon receiving Rong Shu's call, Fang Ying was surprised and sighed, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other. How have you been lately?"
The two chatted for a few minutes.
Rong Shu said, "There's something I'd like to ask Sister Fang for me."
Fang Ying didn't refuse. "Go ahead," she said.
Rong Shu briefly explained the situation.
Fang Ying said, "Okay, I'll go ask around for you and get back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Fang."
Rong Shu was surprised that Fang Ying agreed so readily.
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu left the room and told Rong Qingshan and the others about it.
Rong Qingshan nodded. "If we know the reason, we'll have a better understanding of how to handle it."
Rong Shu decided to stay at the Rong family home tonight. She hesitated whether to call Sheng Tingchen again to let him know, but in the end she didn't make the call.
He probably won't care much.
really.
Sheng Tingchen didn't call to ask her anything all night.
Early in the morning.
Rong Qingshan and Pei Yu went to the company.
Pei Lanhua stayed at home with Rong Shu, and some nourishing food was sent from their hometown. They made it for Rong Shu at noon.
Mr. Gao, the general manager of Mingqi, politely declined Rong Qingshan's invitation.
Now we can only wait for Fang Ying to reply.
Until around 5 p.m. that day.
Fang Ying called Rong Shu back.
"Hello, Sister Fang."
Fang Ying said, "Regarding the acquisition of Huihe, the president hasn't signed off on it; it's been suppressed."
Rong Shu was surprised, which meant that their president hadn't signed it yet.
"Who suppressed it?"
Fang Ying said, "Gao Rui was in charge of Huihe's acquisition. I heard him say it was because of our young lady."
Rong Shu frowned. "Your young lady?"
So it turns out the obstruction was indeed due to personal reasons, not a company issue.
"She had investigated Huihe before, and may have just happened to know about Mingqi's acquisition of Huihe. She called Gao Rui. The young lady has shares in Mingqi, and the president dotes on her. She is the apple of MK Group's eye. So Huihe must have offended her. You'd better ask your father if he has done anything inappropriate."
How could his father possibly offend the heiress of the MK Group? They're not even on the same level.
"Then, Sister Fang, who is your young lady?"
Fang Ying said, "An Qingyue."
An Qingyue?
An Qingyue is actually the eldest daughter of the MK Group.
So she didn't arrange for someone to investigate Huihe; she was secretly investigating her background.
Then she and Sheng Tingchen were truly a perfect match.
No wonder Sheng Tingchen dotes on her so much.
Recovering from her shock, Rong Shu said, "Then your CEO is Su Qingzhi."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Sister Fang. I understand. If you have time to come to Beijing later, I'll treat you to a meal while I'm here."
"You're welcome, but I'd like to remind you, Xiaoshu, that the young lady was spoiled growing up and has a bit of a temper, so please be careful."
"Yes, I know."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu put down her phone.
