Chapter 149: Competing Interests
Qiao's old house.
Suddenly there was a loud bang in the quiet room.
Qiao Anguo kicked the glass coffee table to pieces, and the glass shards splashed everywhere, glowing with cold and sharp light under the crystal lamp.
Qiao Anguo's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really worthy of our in-laws, and even the Qiao family's cake wants to come and eat it, it's really hungry." β
Not only the maid, but Mrs. Qiao was also taken aback by her sudden outburst, she frowned and walked to him, "Anguo, what's going on?" You answered a phone call and came in, why did you lose your temper so much?"
"Just now the assistant called me and said that a real estate company that canceled cooperation with us a few days ago has signed a contract with the Qin family today, if you want to say that there are no ghosts in it, I don't believe it!"
Qiao Anguo was so angry that his nose moved, like a panting and angry cow.
Mrs. Joe covered her mouth in surprise, "How could they do that?"
"As long as there are huge benefits, why can't they do it! The relationship between the in-laws is a fart! We and the Qin family are both engaged in real estate, and now the market is depressed, and it is rare to encounter a good project, but it is taken away by life, I can't swallow this breath!"
Qiao Anguo said, and kicked the coffee table again as if he was angry, as if it was the Qin family.
The crumbling coffee table finally fell apart completely, and the living room was in shambles.
Mrs. Qiao waved away the servant who was standing in the corner trembling, and stepped forward to comfort: "Anguo, calm down, now that things have happened, it is useless to be angry again, but to make yourself angry, you should think about what to do to solve this matter." β
"I know everything you say, but I can't swallow it!"
Qiao Anguo's eyes were full of bloodshots, "You don't know, I spent a lot of effort to win this company, but I didn't expect that they would regret it the day before signing the contract, without an explanation, and avoided our people." It's only been a few days, and they've been cooperating with the Qin family, and it's no wonder that there's no greasy in this! It must be the Qin family doing something secretly, damn, that old fox, who snatched my customer away silently!"
Mrs. Qiao was puzzled: "Are you sure it's really the Qin family? They did such a thing, and they dared to announce it with a swagger?"
"My assistant just found out, and they didn't announce their cooperation, but the evidence is conclusive. β
"What then?!" said Mrs. Joe, who walked around the house like a headless fly, and the crow's feet deepened at the corners of her eyes.
Since returning to the Qiao family's old house, she has not slept well for a day, dreaming that the company is going bankrupt, and she is worried all day long, but now this incident has happened, which makes her heart even more uneasy.
Suddenly, her footsteps paused, as if she thought of something, and her eyes lit up and looked at Qiao Anguo, "Sisi, let's let Sisi talk about it?"
Qiao Anguo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, looking at her with an idiot's eyes.
"What kind of bad idea are you, that useless girl has no status in the Qin family at all, and she can't usually speak, the head of the Qin family is an old fox who doesn't recognize her six relatives, how can she give Sisi face and spit out what she eats. β
"Then let Sisi go and ask Qin Yibei and let Yibei come forward? How can I say that he is also the son-in-law of our family, it is impossible to see death without saving him, right?"
Mrs. Qiao naively imagined that thinking of Qin Yibei's usual performance and attitude towards them, she felt that this proposal should be useful.
Qiao Anguo snorted coldly, "Can you not be so naΓ―ve?" Qin Yibei is just an unfavored son in the Qin family, if they can really listen to him, it will be the sun coming out in the west." β
"Then let the Qin family do this?" The corners of Mrs. Qiao's mouth and eyes drooped, as if the last glimmer of hope had also been extinguished.
"When Sisi and Qin Yibei got married, our Qiao family helped them a lot and introduced many customers to them. I didn't expect them to dare to bite back now, it's too unconscionable. β
"Hmph, the nature of a businessman. β
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Anguo's mouth, "Conscience, what is conscience? If you are not moved in the face of huge interests, you are a saint, and it is impossible to do business at all." We are all mortal people, and our consciences have been eaten by dogs. β
Ignoring the shards of broken glass all over the floor, he sat down on the sofa wearily and rubbed his temples, "Let me think of a way." It's okay if that company doesn't cooperate with us, but he definitely can't cooperate with the Qin family, otherwise this thorn will be stuck in my throat, and I won't be able to sleep. β
Mrs. Joe also sat beside him, sighing.
"What kind of sin have we done! Since we drove Lu Siyu out, we haven't encountered a single good thing!"
"Lu Siyu, yes, Lu Siyu!" Qiao Anguo suddenly grabbed Mrs. Qiao's arm excitedly, "Why can't I beg Lu Siyu! She is with Huo Chengze now, she will definitely be able to persuade Huo Chengze to help us!"
"But Anguo, Lu Siyu, will she do this?" Mrs. Qiao was very suspicious, "When we treated her like that, and wanted to occupy her house, how could she help us regardless of our previous suspicions?"
Qiao Anguo's eyes sank, and he gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "I can't care so much, even if I don't want to give up this old face and beg her, I have to let her agree." Just watching the Qin family grow bigger, our Qiao family will be annexed sooner or later. β
Mrs. Qiao knew that she couldn't persuade him, especially in big matters, and basically she didn't have the right to interfere, she sighed and asked.
"Then when are you going to find Lu Siyu?"
Qiao Anguo said categorically: "Without further ado, I will go to the Huo family early tomorrow morning to find her." β
Mrs. Qiao's mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at Qiao Anguo's face, she was silent again.
She always felt that it was not wise for Qiao An to find Lu Siyu in the past.
Comparing her heart to her heart, if she experienced Lu Siyu's things, she would not be able to help the Qiao family without any guilt.
The next day, as soon as Lu Siyu arrived at the office, the little girl in the office came to her with a strange look.
"Sister Siyu, there is someone waiting for you in the conference room. β
Lu Siyu looked at the time, it was only half past eight in the morning, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Come to me so early, do you know who it is?"
The little girl shook her head in confusion, "I look a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is, he is a little old and looks like an uncle." β
Lu Siyu thought about it for a while, but finally didn't think of the right person.
"Okay, please pour him a glass of water and tell him I'll be there in a moment. β
After the little girl left, Lu Siyu punched the card neatly, put her things away, and walked to the conference room.
