Chapter 17 A Moment of Crisis

It was Saturday noon.

Su's father was at the golf course, hosting a lunch for several top lawyers.

The main reason was to seek their advice on recovering overdue construction payments.

Earlier, when he was doing a project in Singapore, a competitor had somehow gotten hold of compromising information and created obstacles. The advance payments and profits were still outstanding, and every day of delay meant a loss.

Even if it meant a showdown, Su's father wasn't afraid.

At worst, he could move his business elsewhere; getting the money back was the priority.

Back at the company.

The minor problem had been preliminarily resolved, and Master Jiang had already made a special trip.

This Master Jiang could shamelessly call himself "Father-in-law" in front of Su Yehao, but he wouldn't dare joke about such things with Su's father.

Although the two families had a pretty good relationship, and more than twenty years of friendship.

Master Jiang still felt it was inappropriate, especially when he thought of the rumors of a marriage alliance with the Zhao family of the Donghuang Group. He couldn't help but lament that his own daughter, Jiang Yu, was not bad, but she was still far behind. It was her father who was holding her back.

It was only the 1990s.

The younger generation in Casino, 1997 was becoming more and more open-minded, while the older generation continued the tradition, and the cultural heritage was long and profound.

No matter how prestigious a master was, he was still just a master.

An unsuitable match.

Having seen so much of the hidden dealings between wealthy families, Master Jiang certainly understood that the young lady of the Zhao family was clearly more in line with the Su family's criteria for a daughter-in-law.

Once the two families were married, both the Su and Zhao families would be able to avoid many years of hard work.

No wonder Master Jiang would have the idea that "he was holding her back."

This was Su Yehao's fault for not being clear.

If he had made it clear that he was just "one of the fathers-in-law," then Master Jiang wouldn't have to worry about it... He would only need to beat up this young master.

After a few sips of wine.

Not long after leaving the table, Su's father asked, "Master Jiang, how is my son doing today?"

"Very good, far beyond my expectations. He talked with the Maoshan Lake Group in Zhucheng, and seemed to have the idea of developing a residential area next to it, attracting our old folks to retire there. It can be considered a selling point to some extent, and the house prices are indeed much cheaper."

Master Jiang acted as a small spy, briefly describing what he had seen and heard this morning.

When he mentioned the two tile factories in Fochuan, although Su's father felt that they wouldn't make much money and it was a complete waste of time, considering the prospects of the mainland market, he reluctantly agreed that it was a good little business.

"Master Jiang, could it be that my son picked and chose, only selecting two small factories that produce tiles?"

Master Jiang shook his head decisively, saying, "More than that, he plans to acquire land in Pengcheng, and even wants to be some kind of Pengcheng Land King, and he's also eyeing the new district of Guangzhou. He keeps saying that he doesn't have enough money, and suggests that we first build a high-end residential area as a benchmark, make a name for ourselves, and directly enter the mainland real estate market."

"?????"

Su's father originally thought that his son would have a headache, but this situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

He asked in surprise, "Ten million Hong Kong dollars, and he still thinks it's not enough? Are the appetites of young people these days so big?"

"...Why are you asking me about your son?"

Master Jiang's face was filled with melancholy, and he added, "By the way, the young master also took a fancy to a company called Yinhai Software from the list of calls, and asked me to investigate it. My acquaintances in Hong Kong told me that this company is about to go bankrupt and its performance is not good. Recently, it has been looking for funds everywhere in Hong Kong, and it seems to be engaged in some kind of office system, developing a software called WPS."

"About to go bankrupt? Then what's there to invest in, it's still more secure to acquire land." Su's father didn't take this matter to heart at all.

He sat in the club's lounge area with Master Jiang and asked the waiter to bring tea.

It was a semi-open small tea room with a grass curtain covering the entrance.

It just so happened that at this moment.

Two waiters came to the next room to clean up the tea set of the previous table of guests, and chatted in low voices during the process.

One of them said:

"The No. 6 villa by the sea, a particularly beautiful young girl has moved in these days. You've been on leave recently, have you heard about it?"

The other girl replied in a low voice, gossiping, "I just heard about it when I came this morning. I saw her running early in the morning, and even I was moved by her figure... It's said that it was arranged by young master Su Yehao?"

"Yes! Mr. Su's son said that the two of them are friends, but I don't think so. He's come to see her several times. How could such a beautiful woman only be a friend? He even arranged for her to live in a villa, hiding her away..."

For some reason.

Su's father immediately thought of the tall girl he had seen earlier, right here in this club, at the entrance of the spa area in the lobby.

Immediately afterwards.

He also remembered the manager's "advice."

A flash of lightning in his mind instantly made Su's father guess what was going on.

His face stiffened, and everything clicked.

Everything became clear...

Master Jiang also heard this conversation, and was a little curious. Seeing Su's father standing up, he asked, "Where are you going? It's noon, take a break and have some tea."

"It's nothing... I just want to have a few words with the manager, and beat him up along the way!"

Su's father's face was flushed.

He was enraged and embarrassed.

A wave of fear washed over him.

His back was sweating...

————————————————

Su Yehao was temporarily unaware that the matter about Nong Qingying had been leaked by two gossipy women.

He was pleasantly surprised to unexpectedly discover that Yinhai Software had taken the initiative to contact him.

Of course, he knew about WPS.

He also knew about the existence of Yinhai Ciba and Yinhai Doba, and had used them before.

Su Yehao even remembered hearing on the news that the funds used to later found Da Mi Technology were earned by Lei Busi from Yinhai Software.

Although he wasn't clear on the details, it was the first mainland internet company he found that was worth paying attention to.

Moreover, they had taken the initiative to come to his door, and had registered when they called.

This meant that they were willing to accept financing.

It was undoubtedly good news. Su Yehao had already asked Master Jiang to investigate and collect information, wanting to wait until he was fully prepared before engaging in in-depth communication.

Overall.

The attempt to pretend to be a senior executive in the company this morning was interesting and relatively smooth.

After leaving the Sihai International headquarters building, Su Yehao went directly to Yin Liuli's small apartment.

He had called her.

She had bought some cooked food and had already started cooking.

In the small apartment, while eating, they talked about what happened in the morning. Yin Liuli asked him with a smile, "You're working overtime on Saturday? Are you very busy with work?"

He had always pretended to be at work before, and finally he had some real topics to talk about.

Su Yehao ate his meal and said vaguely, "My dad asked me to be responsible for finding projects, so I might be busy for a while, but as long as I finish this time, I can focus on developing my own business and running the restaurant with you."

Yin Liuli thought of something temporarily and asked curiously:

"Ah Hao, how old are you this year? I don't think I've ever heard you mention it. I saw a gift today that would be suitable for you to give you when your birthday comes."

As soon as she asked this question.

Su Yehao choked instantly. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time, so the rice didn't spray out.

He coughed violently.

It's over!

What should have come, has come!

His heart sank, and Su Yehao hovered between life and death, forcing himself to remain calm.

He first went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth and splashed water on his face.

When he came out of the bathroom again.

He pretended to be calm and said to Yin Liuli:

"Twenty-one years old, my birthday is in July, July 7th. I was too playful in my early years, and I'm planning to go back to school to study at university recently. I only realized after entering society that knowledge is still very important, and management needs to be honed, so don't be surprised if you see me going to school to study one day."

Yin Liuli vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

She bit her lip and said as she served the soup:

"I don't know what time the cat and dog exhibition opens this afternoon, or else we can take a nap first and leave around two o'clock?"

The two looked at each other.

Su Yehao understood...
