"Really! That's great!"
Hearing this, Luo Hao also became excited.
Immediately, without any delay, Luo Hao and Zeng Qiuxiang left the office and went to the main entrance to wait for Xu Honggang.
About twenty minutes later, Xu Honggang arrived with the renovation contract for Mi Lai Company's new office.
Luo Hao and Zeng Qiuxiang welcomed him warmly and signed the contract.
During the contract signing, a small incident occurred. Xu Honggang communicated with Zeng Qiuxiang throughout, almost not speaking to Luo Hao.
He only handed the contract to Zeng Qiuxiang, and it was Luo Hao who leaned over to take a look.
Finally, Zeng Qiuxiang was the one who signed the contract.
However, Luo Hao didn't pay much attention to it. He and Zeng Qiuxiang were in a relationship, and it was the same who signed, as the company would eventually give the commission and bonus to both of them!
Because they secured the big contract with Mi Lai Company, Luo Hao was happy. To celebrate and also to thank Xu Honggang, he decided to organize a grand gathering that evening...
Qin Yi and Han Xin spent a few hours with Zheng Shufen at home.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Yi received a call from Luo Hao, telling him that he had secured the Mi Lai deal and was hosting a dinner at the Royal Court Hotel that evening, inviting him to attend.
Qin Yi readily agreed.
Thus, a little while later, Qin Yi and Han Xin went out together. Han Xin drove Qin Yi to the Royal Court Hotel, and coincidentally, to inspect the hotel.
They arrived at the hotel at six o'clock, just in time for dinner. Qin Yi went directly to the private room Luo Hao had told him about.
As for Han Xin, she didn't accompany him further. Luo Hao was the host; how could he bring an extra person?
Han Xin approached the hotel manager to inquire about the hotel's recent business situation.
...
Qin Yi arrived at the private room and saw that a round table was already filled with people.
Besides Luo Hao and Zeng Qiuxiang, there were Xu Honggang, Wei Yongfu, Song Yang, Huang Jing...
Almost all the classmates from the previous night at the Flowing Years Bar were there.
Wei Yongfu's face was still swollen. Luo Hao had called him to the Royal Court Hotel for dinner, and he had come without hesitation.
There was no other reason; it was simply because the Royal Court Hotel was the most high-class hotel in Haicheng, and such an opportunity was rare!
Originally, everyone was waiting for the food and chatting in the private room. Wei Yongfu, Song Yang, and a few others were still flattering Xu Honggang. However, upon seeing Qin Yi appear, their conversation abruptly stopped.
Xu Honggang raised an eyebrow and said displeasedly, "Haozi, did you invite him?"
Zeng Qiuxiang, in front of everyone, directly gave Luo Hao a displeased look and scolded him, "Luo Hao, are you out of your mind! Why did you invite him? Are you intentionally trying to make everyone uncomfortable?"
Being scolded by so many people in front of them, Luo Hao felt extremely embarrassed, but he did not argue with Zeng Qiuxiang. Instead, he explained, "Qin Yi is my brother. I can't possibly not invite him when I'm treating everyone to a meal!"
Actually, upon entering and seeing Xu Honggang, Song Yang, and the others present, Qin Yi had intended to turn around and leave.
These people bothered him, and their presence made him sick!
However, upon hearing Luo Hao's words, he stayed and walked directly to an empty seat.
Song Yang, beside him, quickly moved aside, perhaps due to the incident last night, fearing him, or worried about his bad luck being contagious.
"Hmph, you're treating? If it weren't for Honggang, would you have had the chance to host a meal at the Royal Court Hotel?"
Zeng Qiuxiang continued to speak to Luo Hao without giving him any face, snorting.
"Exactly, Haozi, don't forget, the reason you can host a meal here tonight is all thanks to Honggang!"
Wei Yongfu, with his swollen face, said in a muffled voice, "If Honggang hadn't signed the Mi Lai deal for you, would you have had the ability to host a meal at the Royal Court Hotel?"
Huang Jing added, "Luo Hao, although it appears you're hosting tonight, to be honest, this meal was essentially paid for by Honggang!"
Song Yang subtly turned his head, glancing at Qin Yi with some fear, and still spoke, "Luo Hao, you clearly saw how he beat me up last night, and you still invited him. Are you trying to disgust me?"
"Didn't you deserve a beating for having such a foul mouth last night?"
Qin Yi turned his head to look at him and retorted.
Song Yang flinched in fear and dared not speak.
*Slap.*
Xu Honggang saw this and slammed his hand on the table, pointing at Qin Yi and saying, "Qin Yi, what do you think you're doing! Do you want to hit someone again?"
"Get out of here now, you're not welcome here!"
"Honggang..."
"Shut up!"
Luo Hao tried to speak but was sharply interrupted by Xu Honggang's stern voice, "Luo Hao, as Huang Jing just said, although it seems like you're hosting tonight, if I hadn't helped you secure the renovation contract for Mi Lai, could you have hosted?"
"Do you know how many renovation companies wanted this contract from Mi Lai before? There were many companies much better than your Elite Decoration. I gave preferential treatment to you as an old classmate, insisted on overriding objections, and forced the contract to be signed with you. Is this how you repay me?"
"You say it's to thank me by treating us to a meal, but then you invite a former convict to disgust everyone!"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have given the contract to someone else from the start!"
Xu Honggang berated Luo Hao so fiercely that Luo Hao turned red-faced and was speechless.
Seeing this, Xu Honggang felt immensely smug.
In fact, he hadn't secured the renovation contract for Mi Lai for Luo Hao at all. On the contrary, deep down, he had always intended not to give the contract to Luo Hao.
Even though Luo Hao and Zeng Qiuxiang had pleaded with him many times before.
However, just this afternoon, shortly after starting work, his direct superior, the general manager of Mi Lai Technology, for some unknown reason, suddenly approached him and specifically asked him to award the contract to Elite Decoration Company.
At that time, the general manager even explicitly told him to sign the contract with Luo Hao.
Xu Honggang was stunned and asked why. The general manager simply said that he had seen Luo Hao's designs once before and thought they were good, so he wanted to find Luo Hao.
He didn't tell Xu Honggang that this was an instruction from the Han Corporation higher up.
Xu Honggang understood and thought to himself, "Luo Hao is so lucky!"
Therefore, not daring to defy the general manager's order, he had no choice but to sign the contract with Elite Decoration.
To gain Luo Hao and Zeng Qiuxiang's gratitude, he personally brought the contract to meet them.
During the contract signing, he deliberately left a loophole and had Zeng Qiuxiang sign it.
Of course, Xu Honggang would never reveal these details. If he did, how could he show off and take credit for himself?
Seeing that Luo Hao was momentarily speechless, Xu Honggang continued, "Luo Hao, with so many classmates present, I don't want to make things too unpleasant. How about this: you make Qin Yi leave, and I'll pretend nothing happened today! I'll still think of you for any good things in the future, how about that?"
Luo Hao sat in his seat, his expression incredibly complicated, but he remained silent, saying nothing.
Zeng Qiuxiang, sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and impatiently urged, "Luo Hao, what are you thinking? Hurry up and agree!"
