Chapter 1026: Suspending Cooperation

After Xu Jia left the Li family, she said to the man, "Honey, maybe we should put your collaboration with Li Xu on hold for now!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Jia's husband asked, puzzled. Xu Jia rarely got involved in his business affairs.

"I'll tell you something and you'll understand."

"What is it?"

"You know what? Li Xu's wife is really thinking wildly. She actually wants to make a move on Tang Jianhua's daughter. They have already clearly rejected her son, but she still won't give up. She is thinking of climbing the social ladder by marrying into the Tang family. I tried to persuade her with kind words, but she wouldn't listen. She really doesn't know what's good for her."

Cheng Qi suddenly realized, "No wonder you suddenly came to me to ask about the Tang family girl's name, is that it?"

He then offered a fair assessment: "However, Li Xu's son has quite a keen eye; he took a liking to Tang Jianhua's daughter at first sight."

Xu Jia curled her lip: "That Tang Ruixuan, which young man wouldn't be tempted? To be honest, if my Wenwen weren't a girl, I would also want to find a daughter-in-law like her. She has both good looks and a good family background. You'd be hard-pressed to find one like her even with a lantern."

"That's right! A beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman!" Cheng Qi didn't care much. He was preoccupied with business matters. Besides, in his opinion, this matter had little to do with his family. His wife was being a bit paranoid.

But Xu Jia's subsequent words forced him to seriously consider business cooperation with Li Xu.

"The problem now is that the girl from the Tang family doesn't even like Li Wenbo. Not long ago, Li Wenbo gave her a Cartier Ballon Bleu, but it was returned. It's ridiculous that he would try to fool the Tang family with something like that. Does he think they're so naive?"

What don't they have at home?

And do you know what Fang Linghua said to me back then? She said that the Tang family's daughter was ungrateful and arrogant, and that she didn't even like her outstanding son.

I genuinely didn't know she was referring to the Tang family's child. When she asked if I knew him, I vaguely remembered him. You know, I've only met this child twice, how could I possibly remember his name! I had to ask you to confirm it before I remembered.

Cheng Qi, being a smart man, immediately grasped the key point Xu Jia had made: "Did she look down on Tang Ruixuan before she knew her true identity, or after she found out?"

Xu Jia sneered: "Is there even a question? Of course, after finding out that Tang Ruixuan is Tang Jianhua's daughter, his face changed incredibly quickly."

Also, when I told her that Huang Xiaochuan was that child's uncle, you can't believe the look on her face. She was grinning from ear to ear, and her words implied that Tang Ruixuan was a definite daughter-in-law, saying things like it was a match made in heaven.

Hearing this, Cheng Qi frowned and shook his head: "How can Li Xu's wife be so shallow? Let alone Huang Xiaochuan, even Tang Jianhua is not someone their family can compare to. I admit that his son Li Wenbo is indeed quite outstanding, but in the eyes of the Tang and Huang families, such outstandingness means nothing."

Xu Jia then chimed in, "Let alone the Tang family, I wouldn't let my Wenwen become a daughter-in-law with a family like that."

Xu Jia then solemnly said to Cheng Qi, "I think Li Xu and Fang Linghua, especially Fang Linghua, are a bit clueless. Tang Ruixuan's attitude is so clear, yet she's still thinking about climbing the social ladder. Moreover, she directly expressed to me her intention to help her son behind the scenes. I don't think her mentality and way of doing things are good."

At this point, Xu Jia seemed somewhat worried: "Honey, that industrial upgrading project you discussed with Li Xu isn't indispensable. I feel that cooperating with someone like him might be subject to change. You should probably hold off! What if they get into unnecessary trouble? We'll suffer losses too!"

It must be said that Xu Jia's words make sense. In business, the mindset and vision of partners are very important. If the Li family is really so shallow and opportunistic, and given their misjudgment of the Huang and Tang families, the possibility of them being targeted is too great.

Everyone in Shanghai's business circles knows that Huang Xiaochuan is not someone to be trifled with. Although he may seem harmless on the surface, those of them who are in business know very well that there is no such thing as a merciful general or a righteous man who can manage money. If he didn't have some ruthless methods, he would have been devoured long ago.

If that person finds out about the Li family's schemes, hmph! They probably won't even know how they'll die in the future.

Thinking about this, Cheng Qi nodded: "What you said makes sense. Then we really need to put the cooperation on hold for now."

Xu Jia asked, "So, how do you plan to tell them?"

"Simply say that the risk control department suggests we need to carefully evaluate the cash flow again, and that we should put the cooperation on hold for now. After all, I can't just ignore the opinions of the risk control department."

Cheng Qi thought for a moment and said, "As for the Huang family and the Tang family, we can't get close to them, but we absolutely can't offend them. As for the Li family's ideas, we'll pretend we don't know and won't get involved."

Xu Jia naturally obeyed, but she still asked curiously, "Honey, if the Tang family finds out about the Li family's affairs, what will they do?"

Cheng Qi shook his head: "How could we possibly guess that? But if we happen to run into Tang Jianhua in the future, I can reveal some information to him, which can be considered as making a good connection."

Such coincidences do happen in this world. A few days later, Cheng Qi met Tang Jianhua at a New Year's banquet organized by the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce.

Tang Jianhua is now a big name in Shanghai's business circles. Not only are his assets growing bigger and bigger, but his status is also rising accordingly. He is now the vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce.

So he was surrounded by many business people from Shanghai, and people kept coming over to greet him and chat with him. Tang Jianhua was overwhelmed with their greetings.

Tang Jianhua didn't really want to participate in these kinds of events, but since he held the title of vice chairman, it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to attend. In addition, his brother-in-law, Huang Xiaochuan, rarely attended such events, so as his brother-in-law's representative, it would be even more unacceptable for him not to come. Therefore, Tang Jianhua always had to come out and deal with any important events.

Nowadays, my brother-in-law focuses on academic research, frequently attending economic seminars or studying future economic development trends. He has also asserted that the real estate economy is nearing its end and that a transformation should be completed as soon as possible. However, his control of Guangda Real Estate has little impact because Guangda Real Estate has an alarmingly low debt ratio and has always adhered to a large-scale commercial real estate business model. Even if it develops some residential projects, they are all high-end residential projects that are delivered as completed properties, and it never touches ordinary residential community projects.

After finally managing to handle most of the situation, Tang Jianhua finally had time to sit down and rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, someone else came looking for him.
