Chapter 623 - Believe Me, Older Brother Would Definitely Win
Chapter 623: Believe Me, Older Brother Would Definitely Win
Liu Caizhe listened on, and he slowly started to freeze.
The phone in his hands was still ringing, but he stood on the spot silently and did not move for a long time.
…
Hu Ya stood outside the room and looked at his watch. It was very late. Tomorrow was an important day. The CTCI tender was officially in effect, and tomorrow would decide who the winner.
Hu Ya stretched his hand out to knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock. “President, we should be leaving now.”
Yin Muchen, who was in the kitchen, heard the knocking. He opened his eyes, and slowly distanced himself from Yin Shuiling’s small lips. Yin Shuiling’s cheeks were crimson red, and she lifted her moist and bright large eyes to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
Why did he stop kissing her?
Yin Muchen pinched her small face as he hoarsely said, “I have to go back to the office to work overtime. I cannot kiss you anymore. If I continue kissing you, I would want to do it before I leave.”
Yin Shuiling slowly regained her senses. He slowly let go. She withdrew her hand. Although she was shy, she still strengthened her guts up as she helped him to zip his zipper back up. She was coy as she reminded him, “Then you go should go back to work. You should take care of yourself and rest more.”
“Okay.” Yin Muchen nodded his head. He kissed the girl’s forehead. “After I am done with this project, I would have time then, I would accompany you and my mother more often.”
“Okay.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head obediently.
…
They went back onto the luxury vehicle. Hu Ya was driving the car. Liu Caizhe sat in the front passenger seat, and Yin Muchen leaned back in the seat as he looked at the CTCI tender proposal draft in his hands.
“Muchen, tomorrow will finally be the day of the CTCI tender. CTCI is holding down 80% of our liquid assets. If we can get the tender, then SK’s financial crisis would be settled completely.”
“But,” Hu Ya looked through the rear view mirror at Yin Muchen, who was seated in the back. “President, this CTCI tender proposal has already been…taken by Mu Hai. This means that we have to change our tender price once again, because if we have the same price to compete, then this would embroil us into the theft of trade secrets, but the tender price that we have written in the document that Mu Hai has gotten his hands on, that was the price that we got when we had insider information from President Mu the previous time. We could have been said to have an eighty percent chance of winning the tender, and speaking like this, the chance of us winning the tender is very…small.”
Yin Muchen pursed his thin lips together and did not say anything.
Hu Ya coughed lightly. He did not know whether it was appropriate to be saying so, but as a secretary, he had to report the findings. “President, lately, Miss Xiao has always been trying to contact you. She asked if you have any time to have a meal together. Miss Xiao would not be unaware of our situation. At this moment, her invitation to have a meal together must have a special meaning behind it.”
“Have a special meaning? Hah!” Yin Muchen curled the corners of his lips up before he laughed. “Her meaning is that the intentions of the Mu family are very simple; they want me to be the son in law of the Mu family, and they would help me get the CTCI tender.”
Hu Ya paused for a moment. It turned out that President knew everything.
Then President’s intentions were?
“Change the tender price. If we can get the CTCI tender this time, then so be it, but if we cannot, forget it. If we fail in our bid, then our liquidity would be unfrozen. Although we will suffer huge losses, it is not hard to earn money. It is only a matter of time.”
Hu Ya understood. He just knew that President did not have any intentions of entering into a business marriage.
Liu Caizhe did not find it weird. If he were Hu Ya, he would not even bring this topic up. “Muchen,” He turned his head back to look at Yin Muchen. “I saw the scar on Miss Yin’s face has already recuperated well. The technology overseas right now is very advanced. This scar is not something difficult to handle. Do you need me to contact a skilled doctor?”
Hu Ya also thought about this matter. “That’s right, President, the scar on Miss Yin’s face is something that a small surgery can handle. I think we should bring Miss Yin for surgery as soon as possible.”
After both of them spoke, they thought they would hear Yin Muchen act excited about it, but after two minutes had passed, the man did not say anything at all.
Yin Muchen threw the tender document in his hands over to a side. He crossed his long legs as he took a cigarette out to smoke.
“President, you…” Hu Ya was anxious, and he wanted to hear his President’s answer.
“Secretary Hu, you seem to be driving the wrong way.” Liu Caizhe told him.
“Ah, what?” Hu Ya looked at the road outside the window. He did not go the wrong way.
It was only then that Hu Ya realized that there was a weird atmosphere in the car. He suddenly got it. He lifted his gaze up quickly to look at the backseat in fear, President… Could he actually not want to bring Miss Yin to get surgery?
President he…
…
The next day, in the hospital
Liu Wanxin woke up early in the morning. She lay back on the head of the bed. The television in the room was switched on some random financial channel. The host was speaking. “It is the official day of the CTCI tender project today. The directors of the companies participating in the tender have already arrived on the scene at 7am. Based on sources, there are many powerful competitors, including the Tore, who is the leading competitor in the overseas market, our country’s financial institute, SK, and also South East Asia’s Mu family’s gold mines…”
Yin Shuiling held a small bowl of porridge as she walked out of the kitchen. She heard what the host said, and she walked over to the side of the bed to sit down before stretching her hand out to hold onto Liu Wanxin’s icy cold hand. “Aunty, don’t be nervous. Older Brother would definitely win.”
Liu Wanxin was cold and distant as she shook Yin Shuiling’s small hand away. She was frustrated as she said, “You are obviously not nervous. If you are worried about him, you should not have sold him off in the beginning.”
“Aunty.” Yin Shuiling had a confident, attractive smile on her small face. She held Liu Wanxin’s hand once again and used force as she did so. “Aunty, believe me, Older Brother will definitely win.”
Liu Wanxin froze, and her unfocused eyes peered in Yin Shuiling’s direction.
Yin Shuiling patted her hand and softly repeated her words, “Aunty, everything will be okay as long as you believe me.”
…
At the CTCI tender event
Yin Muchen was dressed in a black suit. He was extremely formally dressed. He had one hand in his pocket as he spoke to Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang seemed to be extremely regretful and full of pity as he said, “President Yin, my daughter has asked you out on a date numerous times, and your secretary has always rejected it saying that you are unavailable. The date has been pushed back until today, it seems that President Yin has to…go home empty handed today.”
Yin Muchen raised his eyebrows and had an easy smile on his face. There were no emotions on his chiselled face, and he seemed to be as calm and confident as he was on a normal day. “It’s fine, President Xu. We will work together with one another if there is another chance next time.”
Xiao Xiang looked at the aura on Yin Muchen. He was calm and confident. He clearly knew that money was merely a matter of time for this man. This man was clearly not lacking in money.
But Xiao Xiang still found it a pity. He was already a mogul in the world of finance, and his family background was solid and powerful. He had wide connections, and he did think of having Yin Muchen as his son in law, so that one time, he had brought his daughter Xiao Yao along for dinner, and at the dinner table. He’d seen Yin Muchen speak Spanish with his daughter. He thought that there was a chance, but after he went back home, he asked Xiao Yao and found out that she had said in Spanish — President Xiao is really handsome, and Yin Muchen had replied with — Miss Xiao is also very beautiful, but, my girlfriend is even more beautiful.
Yin Muchen knew everything. From the start, his rejection was so clean and direct.
Xiao Xiang thought that it was impossible, but after Yin Muchen was embroiled in a financial crisis, he was happy for a long period of time and thought that the right time had arrived, so he asked Xiao Yao to take the initiative to contact Yin Muchen, but Yin Muchen was really different. He did not even show up even once.
Xiao Xiang let out a sigh inside his heart, but he was still polite as he said, “President Yin, the tender event is starting soon. Please head in and have a seat. I will go and get busy.”
“Okay.”
Yin Muchen sat down in his seat, Mu Hai sat diagonally behind him, Mu Hai was confident and in high spirits today. He felt that he would definitely win the CTCI tender today, and both of their gazes collided with one another. Mu Hai wrapped his hand onto his own fist tightly, meaning — I will thank you for your retreat.
Mu Hai was provoking him.
Yin Muchen curled the corners of his lips up. He did not show any alarm on his face. It was very obvious, a person like Mu Hai, Yin Muchen did care about at all.
At this moment, the curtains in the large hall were drawn open. Xiao Xiang and a few members of the staff walked to the organizer’s table. “How is everyone? We welcome everyone that is here today to participate in the CTCI tender today. We will now officially start the event”
“Sorry, please hold on for a moment.” The tightly shut doors of the hall were pushed open with a loud bang, and a pure and handsome figure appeared by the side of the door.
Everyone looked over and took in a breath of air. The director of Lu Corporation, Lu Shaoming, was here.
Everyone was shocked. They had not heard that Young Master Lu was coming to participate in the tender.
He really kept the secret too well.
Lu Shaoming looked at Xiao Xiang, who was standing at the organizer’s table, as he said, “I am sorry, President Xiao. I am late.”
Xiao Xiang stood up quickly and replied, “Young Master Lu, it’s alright. The tender event is about to commence soon. You are here just in time, please have a seat.”
Zhu Rui came forward, and he lead Lu Shaoming to a seat in the front row just beside Yin Muchen.
Yin Muchen and Lu Shaoming looked one another in the eye. The two men who were similar in age and success seated together was a sight to behold in the event.
“Young Master Lu, how are you? It has been a long time since we last met.” Yin Muchen stretched his hand out.
Lu Shaoming shook his head and said, “President Yin, how are you? I hope everything is going well.”
Their simple greeting was treated as catching up with one another.
At this moment, a staff member took the tender document over from every company, and they would announce the results on the spot in the hall.
Mu Hai looked at Lu Shaoming sitting with Yin Muchen. He had a bad feeling inside his heart. Why did this Young Master Lu come? He had no information on this at all.
Mu Hai looked at the staff member going through each proposal carefully at the organizer’s table. There was satisfaction in his eyes as he felt that he had a definite chance of winning, and the CTCI project had to be his.
He had already waited for a long time now.
At this moment, an abnormality that appeared on the organizer’s table. A few staff members were talking amongst themselves. One of the staff members was bent down by the side of Xiao Xiang’s ear to whisper something. Xiao Xiang’s facial expression changed drastically, and he quickly stood up to walk over to the stack of proposal documents.
The crowd sitting down looked on at this scene, and they discussed it amongst themselves. What was going on now?
Mu Hai’s heart sunk.
“Everyone, please maintain some silence,” Xiao Xiang went back to the organizer’s table, as he continued, “Just now, we have found out that there are two companies who have submitted the exact same tender price and content in their proposal documents. It is very obvious that one of the company between the two have gotten their hands on trade secrets, and I would invite everyone to remain seated. Our law enforcement officers are rushing over right now.”
Getting their hands on trade secrets?
The crowd were all abuzz. This crime was extremely serious in the corporate world. This had to do with the reputation of the entire company, and what awaited the company was the audit of the law enforcement agencies and a never ending period of investigation.
Mu Hai was frantic, and he had predicted that something was going to go wrong.
At this moment, the doors of the hall were pushed open with a loud bang! The law enforcement officers held their guns as they walked into the hall, and they headed straight towards Mu Hai’s direction.
“President Mu, the proposal that you have submitted is exactly the same as the one that the Lu Corporation has submitted to us. The only different thing is, I just received a call, and Young Master Lu submitted this proposal to us half a month ago when he went to Europe with one of the organizers of the tender event, Dr. Kill. He had brought it up back then. It is very obvious you’ve stolen Lu Corporation’s proprietary information.”
