Chapter 494: Chapter 494: I Love My Wife Very Much

The bidding meeting came to an end and the President of Yanhuang Group, because it had successfully won the bid, naturally became the object of media scrum.

"Young Master Yanhuang, there had been rumors previously that Yanhuang Group was going to drop out of bidding. Why did you reappear at the bidding meeting today?"

Young Master Yanhuang spread his hands with a smile, "How would I know? I have never mentioned that we were going to give up bidding. As for the rumors, sorry, I have no idea who spread them. Just that, for a formal event like bidding, our Yanhuang Group would never play games nor go back on our words."

With such statement by Young Master Yanhuang, it not only made the previous rumors seem like sinister tactics by competitors, but also subtly mocked Yi Wang Real Estate, which made an ostentatious declaration to participate in the bid but eventually backed out at the last minute.

These reporters, all clever folks, immediately turned their microphones towards Wang Wenjie after hearing Young Master Yanhuang’s response.

"Mr. Wang, didn’t Yi Wang Real Estate announce its participation in the bidding earlier? Why then is the company’s name missing from the list just now? Did Yi Wang Real Estate fail to meet the criteria set by the tendering party and thus had its qualification revoked? Or did Yi Wang Real Estate knowingly admit defeat to Yanhuang Group and chose to back off voluntarily?"

Originally aiming to humiliate Yanhuang Group, the tables had turned to slap Yi Wang Real Estate in the face instead.

The bystanders were excitedly waiting for a great show.

Already distressed, Wang Wenjie, mercilessly interrogated by the media, lost his composure and snapped, "No comments!", before signalling his bodyguards and secretary to lead him off the scene.

As the protagonist and winner of the day, Young Master Yanhuang was closely surrounded by reporters. He calmly dealt with the questions they threw at him.

Then, someone asked an untimely question.

"Young Master Yanhuang, is it said that Yi Wang Real Estate is opposing Yanhuang Group at every turn because you and Mr. Wang are love rivals? Is it true that Miss Yi was your first love?"

"Miss, I am a married man, and my wife was my first love. I believe everyone knows who my wife is. I love my wife dearly. Therefore, please don’t drag me and the future Mrs. Wang together. I don’t want to kneel on a durian shell when I get home tonight!"

The reporters at the venue were all amused by Young Master Yanhuang’s humorous jest and burst into laughter.

Having fielded the media, Young Master Yanhuang and Qin Xiu left the venue with other staff members.

Once they got in the car, Qin Xiu couldn’t help but give Young Master Yanhuang a thumbs-up.

"My lord, it’s a splendid victory! This time, Yi Wang Real Estate had a setback from the beginning. After taking such a hard tumble in their opening gambit, it would be quite difficult for them to get back up, right?"

"That’s exactly what I wanted!" Young Master Yanhuang said indifferently.

In fact, from the very beginning, Young Master Yanhuang had no intention of dropping out of the bidding. The statements he made before Qin Xiu and Yanhuang Group’s staff about giving up were just to create a false impression.

He purposely leaked the news that Yanhuang Group decided to give up bidding for a certain project, but in reality, he had already notified the government side, and all the bidding processes were still proceeding as usual. However, because Young Master Yanhuang informed them in advance, no one came forward to refute the rumors when the news of Yanhuang Group’s withdrawal from the bidding spread, with the government remaining silent. That led everyone to believe that Yanhuang Group had chickened out and given up!

In reality, he had figured out from the start that Wang Wenjie’s participation in the bidding was nothing but a strategic distraction. At the end of the day, Wang Wenjie never intended to walk till the end.

Indeed, Wang Wenjie is a true businessman. His goal was only to reduce Yanhuang’s profits rather than actually intervening in the project. Furthermore, he was playing a dual role.

First, by participating in the bidding, he reduced the price time and again, decreasing a large part of Yanhuang’s profits. Second, he created a false impression in front of others that Yi Wang Real Estate could rival Yanhuang Real Estate.

In Wang Wenjie’s mind, Yanhuang Group would certainly not withdraw from the bidding and admit defeat, and was bound to lock horns with him, eventually pulling the projects at a slight profit.

However, he didn’t expect that his cunning move would be seen through by Young Master Yanhuang long ago. Instead of exposing him, Young Master Yanhuang adopted his tactic, finally turning tables on him. The ultimate winner, needless to say, was Yanhuang Group, not Yi Wang Real Estate.

The offending words from previous rumors against Yanhuang Group were now all directed at Yi Wang Real Estate.

For Yi Wang Real Estate, which had just opened for business not long ago, this was a heavy blow. They probably couldn’t lift their heads after taking it.

Having secured a splendid victory, it was time for Young Master Yanhuang to celebrate with Qin Xiu and his subordinates. Originally, Qin Xiu and several others had suggested going to the Quiet Private Restaurant, but Young Master Yanhuang rejected the idea.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to help his mother-in-law. He was just aware that most seats at the restaurant had been booked for the next half-month. If he really took his subordinates there, it would only make things difficult for Chen Jing.

Therefore, they found a nearby seafood restaurant to have their meal.

Just as Young Master Yanhuang had guessed, business at the Quiet Private Restaurant was booming as usual.

Zhu Qianying had been back at work in the jewelry store for a few days. In the store, besides the staff and Chen Jing, only Bai Shao was helping out.

The bidding process was not broadcasted live, but the highlights were shown in the midday Financial Program, which included interviews with Young Master Yanhuang and Wang Wenjie.

The restaurant had several TVs for customers, and all the customers dining there knew that the restaurant’s owner was Young Master Yanhuang’s mother-in-law.

So, when they saw Young Master Yanhuang openly expressing his love for his wife on TV, some customers shouted, "Boss lady, come take a look at your son-in-law. He is so handsome!"

Hearing the noise outside, Chen Jing ran out to the storefront to see what was happening. Under the guidance of everyone, she saw a short clip of the interview with Young Master Yanhuang.

However, she did not catch the part where Young Master Yanhuang publicly confessed his love to Zhu Qianying.

Seeing her looking quite regretful, Bai Shao, who was sitting at the cashier desk to help with payments, quickly clicked onto the official Weibo account of the TV station. Inside was a video of the entire interview with Young Master Yanhuang. Bai Shao played the video, and then accompanied Chen Jing to watch the whole thing from start to finish.

"Well, he really is quite handsome!"

Bai Shao had always been choosy when it came to men.

After all, the man she used to be with was a very outstanding and excellent man. Though they broke up eventually, she had to admit, till now, she hadn’t seen another man who was more charismatic than Zong Zhe.

Of course, that was just a few minutes ago. Now, she had to say that Young Master Yanhuang was now tied with Zong Zhe as the most handsome man in her mind.
