Chapter 460: Major matters cannot be rushed

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Major matters cannot be rushed

As the car left the highway, Chen Ningxi called Ye Yujun, "Mom, are you home? Mr. Zou brought you some local specialties, and Qiaobei and I will bring them over."

Ye Yujun was at the supermarket near her home buying groceries, "Where are you now?"

Chen Ningxi: "We just got off the highway."

Calculating the time, Ye Yujun realized it was fine. She headed out of the supermarket, saying as she walked, "Your Uncle Zou always thinks about our family no matter where he goes."

Chen Ningxi said, "We were staying at the same hotel, and before leaving, he even got me some strawberries."

Ye Yujun laughed, "Still treating you like a child."

Chen Ningxi thought the same. Knowing her fondness for sweets, Zou Yong would bring local desserts from his business trips.

Half an hour later, the two carried the goods inside. Cheng Qiaobei put the items on the kitchen island.

Ye Yujun sliced some fruit and brought it to the living room, asking Cheng Qiaobei, "How did you two run into each other?"

Cheng Qiaobei answered honestly, "The company is looking for investors. I plan to collaborate with Uncle Zou, so I invited him to stay at one of our chain hotels for a few days. First, to let him experience the service and quality, and second, Ningxi and I also happened to be spending the weekend there."

Ye Yujun understood and asked, "How did the discussions go?"

Cheng Qiaobei slightly frowned. The immediate feeling after the talks wasn’t exactly good, but it wasn’t bad either. Nevertheless, it was far from what Cheng Qiaobei had expected.

He said, "You can tell Uncle Zou is interested in investing, but the details of the cooperation still need further discussion."

Ye Yujun gave a simple piece of advice that struck a chord with Cheng Qiaobei, "Big things shouldn’t be rushed; take it slow."

The knot in Cheng Qiaobei’s heart instantly untied, and he smiled with relief. Yes, even if the company is eager for development and looking for breakthroughs, there’s no need to rush everything.

After all, this is an important turning point for the company. Rushing for success is not worth overlooking other issues.

"I’ll seriously consider it, Mom."

Chen Ningxi suddenly understood why her parents’ relationship was so stable.

Any problem could be approached more slowly with her mom, not rushing for quick outcomes, but making clear decisions after careful thought.

At night, after bathing, Chen Ningxi came out to find Cheng Qiaobei still browsing documents on his computer. The cup of coffee on the table was empty. As he reached to refill it, Chen Ningxi stopped his hand.

Chen Ningxi said, "Don’t drink too much coffee at night. Get some rest early."

Cheng Qiaobei planned to stay up late to finish going through the material, but remembering that Chen Ningxi had work the next day, he let go of her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap, "I have some materials to review tonight. You should sleep first."

Worried about his health, Chen Ningxi asked, "Is it urgent? If not, look at it tomorrow. You always stay up late, and you’ll end up wearing yourself out."

"Not to that extent, but it seems you can’t sleep without me holding you." Cheng Qiaobei carried her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed, holding her close, "You have work tomorrow. I’ll review the materials after you fall asleep."

With her eyes closed, Chen Ningxi recalled what Zou Yong said earlier, tentatively asking, "You’ve opened so many chain hotels recently. Is there no issue with the cash flow?"

He replied firmly, "Of course not." He caressed her back and coaxed, "Alright, stop thinking about these things and sleep."

After Chen Ningxi fell asleep, Cheng Qiaobei opened his eyes, gently laid her down, and got up to the study to open his laptop.

The next day.

Regarding the Qingshan project, it is a livelihood project related to increasing employment, so it has attracted much attention and scrutiny since its inception.

But because so much attention has been focused on it, the Qingshan project’s every move is under the public watch and supervision.

The funds mortgaged for the Zhoushan hotel were being used up daily, and considering the vastness of the Qingshan project, the funds seemed like a drop in the bucket, slowing down progress and affecting deadlines.

However, since the last lesson, the construction party has declared work suspension whenever Jade Jiali’s funds are not transferred to their account.

If a leading enterprise in the industry is exposed for delaying project payments, it can severely damage the company’s reputation.

As a result, Cheng Xiangheng strongly demanded that work should not be halted regardless of any arrears issues.

But within a week, the Qingshan project once again found itself in the news for halted work due to unpaid project payments.

Cheng Xiangheng had to admit that there were significant management issues within the company, rooted in the leadership. However, admitting it now was too late.

Just last month, three Jade Jiali hotels nationwide were closed, not including the Zhoushan hotel that was mortgaged.

Cheng Xiangheng was turning in circles anxiously, but looking at the entire company now, there wasn’t a single trustworthy or capable person, forcing him to swallow his pride and seek out Cheng Qiaobei again.

After work, at the entrance of the community, he saw a familiar car.

Cheng Xiangheng got out of the car and approached Cheng Qiaobei’s Cayenne.

He opened the passenger door and sat inside, noticing that Cheng Qiaobei didn’t look welcoming. But seeing his car parked by the road and Cheng Qiaobei’s stopping right after, it meant that he still couldn’t bear to ignore him.

Cheng Xiangheng looked ahead and said, "I’m already at your doorstep, are you not going to invite me in?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I think it’s better not to, don’t want any unpleasant scenes."

Cheng Xiangheng said, "I know you resent me and blame me for favoring Siluo, but now there’s no one reliable in the company to help solve the current financial crisis. Dad’s here today hoping you’ll come back to the company."

Cheng Qiaobei remained unmoved, "I stopped the car not to wait for you. Even if you got in, it wouldn’t change anything between us."

"Qiaobei, a few Jade Jiali chain hotels were closed last month. You should understand what that means," Cheng Xiangheng said.

With an unchanged expression, Cheng Qiaobei coldly replied, "I’ve already told you, there’s only one way to resolve the current situation."

Cheng Xiangheng knew the answer but remained silent.

Cheng Qiaobei chuckled mockingly, "Are you really that afraid of losing? Or of being ridiculed by everyone?"

"..." It was both, but as long as Cheng Qiaobei took charge of Jade Jiali again, the company’s stock price was likely to rebound significantly.

"I’ve said everything I need to say. You can get out now." Cheng Qiaobei unlocked the car, but Cheng Xiangheng remained seated, saying, "Son, if you don’t step in, this company will be finished. You came out of Jade Jiali; can you bear to watch the once-glorious hotel become part of the Luori Group?"

Cheng Qiaobei remained firm, "Auctioning off the Qingshan project can break the deadlock."

Cheng Xiangheng stubbornly said, "I’ve already had a lawyer draft a document appointing you as the new executive director of Jade Jiali, with management authority over the group."

He placed the appointment document on the car’s dashboard, "You’re the only person I can entrust."
