YM778.TV Chapter 505: 505: Did You Lose to Him Even with the Help of the Cui Family?
“Ah, I don’t have the ability to do that!”
Dongfang Qi pretended to sigh, “Why were you so careless, allowing such a sure-fire project to be stolen away? If grandpa finds out, he would definitely be angry! You should probably stay away from home these next few days to avoid being scolded.”
Dongfang Mu’s eyes were gloomy, yet he responded more nobly than Dongfang Qi, “Thank you for reminding me that grandpa will be mad, but I am not a coward. Just because I messed up one thing, I shouldn’t be too afraid to go home, right? When a person makes a mistake, he should take responsibility for it, don’t you think?”
Dongfang Qi’s face stiffened slightly.
He knew that Dongfang Mu was implying something about him.
Because last time, right after he brought Eldest Miss Gu, Gu Ranxuan, for a tour of the corporation, she withdrew her marriage proposal with him.
His mother was furious, questioning him about what he did to upset Gu Ranxuan, causing the marriage alliance to be called off. His mother had worked hard on repairing their relationship with the Gu family, preparing him to marry Gu Ranxuan to surpass Dongfang Mu.
Due to his mother’s extreme anger, he was afraid of being scolded and made up an excuse about going on a business trip, hence he did not return home.
He knew why Gu Ranxuan was upset; wasn’t it just because he looked at Qiao Yin a few times more? How narrow-minded!
He didn’t do anything with Qiao Yin; was even looking not allowed?
He was under the impression that daughters from large families were usually reasonable and broad-minded!
“Cousin, you’re right, we should be brave enough to face our own actions. In the future, I will definitely learn from you! But what about the Cui family? Weren’t you planning to marry Cui Shuqian? Why did they still send the project to our enemies? Could it be that your proposed marriage with the Cui family is fake?”
Listening to Dongfang Qi’s sarcastic remarks to Dongfang Mu, Qiao Yin found him narrow-minded, yet she was also somewhat puzzled.
The reason Dongfang Mu was willing to marry Cui Shuqian, whom he didn’t like, was for the Cui family’s political resources, right?
Why didn’t the Cui family exert any effort for such an important project?
As Qiao Yin was thinking, she saw Dongfang Mu suddenly glance at her.
She was a bit puzzled, why was he looking at her? Could it be that this matter was somehow related to her?
Dongfang Mu withdrew his gaze; this matter of course had nothing to do with Qiao Yin.
But he liked Qiao Yin, while he was about to marry Cui Shuqian, he worried she would be upset.
As it turned out, he was really overthinking, as Qiao Yin had no thoughts about him at all.
He changed to a lazy posture on the sofa, casually saying, “My marriage to Cui Shuqian is of course real, our families have always had a good relationship, even without the marriage, they wouldn’t have given the project to someone else. This was simply an unfortunate accident, cousin why are you overthinking?”
“Oh, so it was just an accident. I thought so too, the Cui family wouldn’t miss helping you. Therefore, did you lose to President Lu of Shengling Corporation despite the Cui family’s help, purely because he is too strong?”
“Qi, what are you talking about? What does it mean that I lost to him? Previously, I grabbed two projects from him. So before this one, I was winning, wasn’t I?”
“Ah, cousin, I am not saying you can’t do it, we just lost a project, and I am also worried!”
With an expression of deep regret, Dongfang Qi said, “Look, you spent so much energy and tens of billions in acquiring Wanann Finance earlier, all for the purpose of having enough cash flow to seize the Huakui project. Now look, Wanann Finance has nowhere to exert its strength, which meant you lost two projects at once! Ah, about the Wanann Finance project, did Lu Lingche trick you as well?”
