Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Crisis Approaching (5)

Fu Yubo had begun directing her since the start of the journey, and the effects now apparent were enough to illustrate one point, Tengguang’s people had thoroughly investigated their traveling party beforehand.

When did they conduct this investigation?

After they arrived at their destination here?

Very likely.

Tengguang had been attentively monitoring their every move since they reached this side.

This was because of the frustration and anger filled in the word "bank" mentioned by Manager Zhou, as well as the previous "they".

Gu Nuan suddenly realized that there was a fundamental explanation for the things, which had initially surprised and confused her.

What were the things that had surprised and confused her from the beginning?

That was, their trip’s purpose was not only the Mingyue project, but also the acquisition of this project seemed even more important. But why did Chen Jiaming take them first to a bank to resolve Mingyue’s issue after they arrived here?

Saying that Chen Jiaming arranged this to curry favor with Xiao Jianming first wasn’t plausible.

Because, if the acquisition of this project succeeded, it would be worth a hundred Mingyues and would be more effectively pleasing to Xiao Jianming.

The only explanation was now clear.

They went to the bank to meet with the branch manager to essentially resolve Mingyue’s issue. But, in Tengguang’s eyes, which had already been trailing their movements, since Tengguang did not know that Changda brought the Mingyue issue with them, Tengguang thought that Chen Jiaming was going to the bank to exploit personal connections. Moreover, Chen Jiaming had brought along someone like Li Changzhi with a banking background, clearly intending to extract inside information from the bank.

What information?

The relationship between Tengguang and the bank, meaning that Tengguang’s financial chain had issues.

This also explained why Tengguang suddenly wanted to raise the price, and while Changda disapproved of it, even displayed a high stance on the scene. Next, Changda would probably not only disagree with the price increase but would push for a lower price.

Crocodiles are cruel, swallowing their prey whole when it is most helpless and most frightened.

Gu Nuan went to the restroom and washed her face with cold water.

The phone in her pocket vibrated; she picked it up and saw an inquiry text from Fu Yubo.

Gu Nuan shielded the phone screen with one hand as she typed: Everything as Director Chen predicted.

These words were enough.

Sure enough, when she walked out of the restroom, the tightly closed doors of the conference hall opened.

Chen Jiaming and Manager Zhou walked out, shaking hands with smiles on their faces.

Manager Zhou said, "So, it’s settled, tonight’s meal for Director Chen must be hosted by Tengguang."

Chen Jiaming smiled without responding.

Manager Zhou then looked at Wa Zicong, "Manager Wa, you wouldn’t deny me this favor, would you?"

Wa Zicong laughed, "If Director Chen has agreed to go, how could it be possible for me to not go?"

"That’s more like it." Manager Zhou seemed as elated as if he had drunk alcohol, and said to everyone, "All of you are coming tonight. We’ll fulfill the duty of the host and serve you the best dishes, ensuring you won’t return without being drunk."

Since it was agreed to drink tonight, there was no need for further talk here.

Gu Nuan stood in a shadowed spot near the stairwell, waiting for her colleagues to come by, then quickly followed behind Tang Qingzhong.

Tang Qingzhong seemed to have some doubts about her sudden visit to the restroom, but he didn’t ask.

The group returned to Tengguang’s entrance; the cars were ready.

Chen Jiaming and Manager Zhou shook hands again.

The others quickly boarded the same cars they had arrived in.

Finally, the two cars left Tengguang. At this moment, Gu Nuan checked the time again, approximately three hours had passed, and it was now twelve o’clock noon.
