Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Opportunity Lost

“Don’t get so worked up,” Zhao Yulu quickly pulled Li Minmin to sit down.

“Sorry, I got a bit too excited just now,” Li Minmin stuck out her tongue.

“Sister Ting sent a message, take a look,” Zhao Yulu urged Li Minmin to check the message.

“6:30, Yang’s Restaurant, that’s the fanciest restaurant in River City. I heard that a meal there costs at least tens of thousands. It truly lives up to its high-end status,” Li Minmin exclaimed in astonishment.

She spoke softly, just like before, audible only to the two of them.

“Yeah, I’ve never spent money there myself.”

Zhao Yulu suddenly remembered how her mother once took her and her sister to Yang’s Restaurant. A meal cost them three hundred thousand, and in the end, they didn’t have enough money to pay, so they had to pawn a watch.

Later, they had to sell their car to retrieve the watch.

And still later, the watch got stolen.

“6:30, just perfect after we get off work. We can take a taxi there,” said Li Minmin.

“Mm-hmm,” Zhao Yulu nodded.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was almost time to get off work.

Xu Yang drove his Rolls-Royce Cullinan to pick up Zhao Yuxin from the bank where she worked and headed to Yang’s Restaurant.

On the way, Zhao Yuxin asked, “Hubby, what exactly is this dinner about?”

Zhao Yuxin had messaged her that he was taking her to a dinner party but hadn’t given any details.

Xu Yang said, “Han Jun, the vice president of Penguin Group, has invited us for dinner.”

Zhao Yuxin expressed her confusion, “For this kind of dinner party, it would be fine for you to attend, why bring me along?”

She felt no surprise at the invitation from the vice president of the Penguin Group for her husband to dine.

Now, Xu Yang’s status was different; even the richest man, Wang, had personally visited Xu Yang.

Being invited by the vice president of Penguin Group was all too normal.

Xu Yang smiled and said, “Wife, I’m going to tell you something, but you can’t get mad, okay?”

Zhao Yuxin was puzzled, “Why would I get mad? Just tell me, I won’t be angry.”

Xu Yang explained, “Didn’t I go with Young Master Wang to acquire Victory Literature today? When we were leaving, we encountered Han Jun with his team in negotiations. We intercepted them; they probably want to buy shares from us, so he invited me to dine. In his team, there is a woman who seems to have other intentions towards me. He’s planning to bring that woman along, so of course, I need to bring you too.”

Xu Yang wasn’t a fool; Han Mengting was so proactive and looked at him differently. It was obvious she was interested in him.

Zhao Yuxin immediately became vigilant, “Hubby, are you saying that woman fancies you? Or is she trying to seduce you to buy shares?”

Xu Yang nodded, “That’s pretty much it. I’m not entirely sure, so I initially declined, saying I had to dine with my beautiful wife. But then Han Jun said it was fine, it wouldn’t be a problem to bring you along.”

“Hmph, if that’s the case, then I need to be on full alert. To think she has designs on my husband, she doesn’t stand a chance!”

Zhao Yuxin assumed a combative stance.

Sovereignty issues were not to be provoked!

“Honey, don’t worry, no matter what you do, I support you,” Xu Yang clarified his position.

Actually, his actions had already shown where he stood.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Zhao Yuxin along.

Naturally, Zhao Yuxin understood this.

“Mm-hmm, I know.”

…

Zhao Yulu and Li Minmin took a taxi to Yang’s Restaurant and arrived at the private room mentioned by Han Mengting, and walked in.

Han Jun and Han Mengting were already there.

“Sister Ting, General Han,” Zhao Yulu immediately greeted both.

“Come over and have a seat,” as soon as Han Mengting saw them arrive, she immediately invited them to sit down.

“Mr. Han, this is Zhao Yulu, and this is…” Han Mengting was introducing the two people to Han Jun but didn’t know Li Minmin’s name.

“Mr. Han, Sister Ting, my name is Li Minmin,” Li Minmin introduced herself proactively.

“There’s no need to be nervous, it’s just a meal with some people,” Han Jun was very assertive at work, but in private, he’s quite amiable and didn’t keep a stern face.

“Okay,” Zhao Yulu and Li Minmin, both newbies, naturally nodded again and again.

Seeing Han Jun’s demeanor, the two felt their anxious hearts relax quite a bit.

“Right, Yulu, before the guests arrive, I need to tell you something,” Zhao Yuxin said.

“Sister Ting, what is it?” Zhao Yulu asked.

“It’s that our Penguin Group didn’t succeed in acquiring Shengda Literature,” Han Mengting said.

“What, how could the acquisition have failed, did something happen?” Zhao Yulu was shocked and dismayed.

Without the successful acquisition, Han Mengting wouldn’t be able to take up the position of CEO at Shengda Literature, she wouldn’t be able to become the CEO’s assistant, and the prospect of becoming a CEO herself in the future was even more impossible.

Wasn’t Penguin Group’s acquisition of Shengda Literature a sure thing? How could it have failed?

What happened, what exactly went wrong?

Zhao Yulu’s heart nearly collapsed.

This might have been the most important opportunity of her life.

Just like that, it was gone?

Li Minmin’s expression also changed slightly.

If Penguin Group couldn’t acquire Shengda Literature, Han Mengting wouldn’t become the CEO, Zhao Yulu couldn’t become the CEO’s assistant, and then Zhao Yulu wouldn’t be able to help her.

Her attitude was better, after all, her loss wasn’t as great as Zhao Yulu’s.

And she even felt a bit of sympathy for Zhao Yulu.

Such a good opportunity had disappeared just like that.

“Ah, there’s nothing we can do. Another investment company undercut us, catching us off guard,” Han Mengting sighed.

“Which investment company undercut us?” Zhao Yulu asked.

That investment company had completely obstructed her career path, which was utterly despicable and hateful.

“Yang Xin Investment and Wan Da Investment,” Han Mengting replied.

“What, Yang Xin Investment!” Zhao Yulu exclaimed.

“Yulu, why such a big reaction?” Han Mengting was a bit puzzled.

Li Minmin was also somewhat bewildered.

Hearing the name Yang Xin Investment didn’t warrant such a strong reaction, did it?

She had also heard of Yang Xin Investment, it seemed that the projects they invested in were very good and had high returns.

The owner of Yang Xin Investment was also the owner of Jiang De Lao.

“It’s nothing,” Zhao Yulu shook her head.

She couldn’t possibly say that the owner of Yang Xin Investment was her ex-boyfriend, now her brother-in-law.

“Oh,” Han Mengting looked at Zhao Yulu intently but didn’t ask further. She continued, “I’m telling you this so that you can be mentally prepared. However, we still have a chance. This dinner is an opportunity.”

“Sister Ting, I don’t quite understand,” Zhao Yulu was somewhat bewildered.

What kind of opportunity was this dinner?

“We’ve invited the owner of Yang Xin Investment, Xu Yang, to this dinner. We plan to talk to him to see if we can buy the shares from him,” Han Mengting explained.

“We’ve invited Xu Yang?” Zhao Yulu was taken aback.

“Yes, he’ll bring his wife along. I asked you two to come because I felt I might be a bit nervous facing Xu Yang’s wife. Having you there will make me feel better,” Han Mengting said vaguely, not revealing her true thoughts.
