Chapter 96
The two arrived at the banquet at just the right time, Lu Jinyan held her hand all the way, and they still attracted a lot of attention when they appeared.

Because of the affairs of the Lu family, the media attention has been particularly high recently. The messy private life of the wealthy family has already become a topic that people like to talk about in private.

Seeing that the president of the Lu family led the Cheng family's daughter in as rumored, they all took a few extra glances.

For these hobbies of theirs, people in the business field still do a good job of showing their faces, Lu's can't afford to offend, and Lu Jinyan can't afford to offend them even more.

What's more, it has nothing to do with them. Everyone puts interests first.

"nervous?"

With so many eyes on her, Cheng Xiaoxiao's palms broke out in cold sweat.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said to Lu Jinyan in a low voice: "So many people are going after Mr. Tang, how can I win by surprise tonight?"

Lu Jinyan smiled: "Let it be, besides, he might not show up, so why worry?"

She held Lu Jinyan's hand tightly: "I think he will definitely come."

"Oh?"

"The project is about to start. He also poured his heart and soul into it back then. The people who come tonight are the most likely to win the project. Doesn't he want to try again?"

If a person has his own pursuit and it is not purely for profit, he will not give up such an opportunity easily. In other words, if no one here can make him come back tonight, then he will really not intervene.

"Are you so sure?"

"intuition."

Lu Jinyan smiled, picked up a glass of wine, and raised his hand slightly: "Women's intuition is always accurate, it seems that you should prepare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoxiao noticed that a low-key man came down the stairs, about 50 years old, with elegant demeanor and relaxed manner.

Maybe it was because he was too low-key that many people didn't notice it, but she still had an impression.

This is the Mr. Tang I met when I was a child. He came to the house with his father and discussed the project in the study in the middle of the night.

"Why don't you go there?" Lu Jinyan said with a gentle look on his handsome face.

Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at him, took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, turned and walked over.

It wasn't until she stood in front of Tang Qingyun that she slowly calmed down. Ever since she graduated, she had been thrown into hell before she had time to exercise her ability to strategize in the mall.

Now is her chance to choose to start over and not back down.

Tang Qingyun didn't change much from what she remembered. After knowing her identity, she felt a little bit moved, and proposed to visit Cheng Yanhua in a few days.

She readily agreed, and neither of them talked about the blueprints.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, someone came forward to interrupt them. At this time, Lu Jinyan came over. He had been watching from a distance, and it was expected that the process would go smoothly.

He brought her a glass of red wine, "Do you need to celebrate?"

"do not know."

Cheng Xiaoxiao shrugged, saying that the result of this matter is not yet known so quickly.

"You need to be patient. Since he agreed to visit your father, he definitely hopes to hear his thoughts from his mouth. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"There is no such platform for me to try." She has never doubted herself in those works abroad.

But after getting married, I suddenly turned myself into a useless person. Now I have to pick up the pen again, and psychological construction is more important than anything else.

"Isn't now a good opportunity?"

"Thank you!"

She knew all that Lu Jinyan had done for herself, and she was full of emotion in her heart.

For a commercial banquet, with Lu Jinyan's status, he hadn't stood there for 10 minutes before he was surrounded by a group of elites in suits and leather shoes.

Cheng Xiaoxiao took the wine and retreated out. In the garden, the cool air instantly dispelled the boredom inside.

She held the wine with some enjoyment, and looked up, she hadn't seen such a bright moonlight for a long time.

While still in a trance, a deep male voice broke the calm.

"I didn't expect to meet you here again. After returning to China, I didn't hear from you. I regretted it for a long time?"

"Ye Zhimeng?"

She looked at the man beside her in surprise, tall and straight, with an impeccably handsome face, charming eyes, and a long-lost smile.

Ye Zhimeng held the wine in one hand, opened his arms, and smiled at her: "We haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't we give you a good hug?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao hesitated a little, her black eyes flashed with complicated light.

Ye Zhimeng saw her defense against him, and smiled wryly: "It seems that my appearance is not at the right time, what did you misunderstand?"

"Forehead?"

"Why are you here? This reception tonight is a bit special. Could it be that you are also competing for this project?" He spoke very bluntly, which shocked Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"Is it that obvious?"

"The people who came tonight, didn't they come from the bridge project? You and I also majored in design when we were in the United States. Don't tell me, you are here to play with others."

Cheng Xiaoxiao almost didn't expect that Ye Zhimeng was the most popular senior in the school back then, and he was also the best inspirational striker. His designs had soul and life, which amazed countless people.

She thought he would stay abroad forever, but she didn't expect that the world is so small that she would meet him here.

"Are you too?"

"I just returned to China. To tell you the truth, I came here for this project. If it wasn't for this, I might still be abroad now."

He smiled all over his face, just like the boy in his memory, so gentle and comfortable.

"You are so frank, don't you know that we are competitors?"

"Really? Maybe it's a partner?" He swung his glass and took another sip: "To be honest, we are bound to win this project, so do you have the confidence to compete with me?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned. She really didn't expect Ye Zhimeng to be her opponent. She still had some confidence in the designer who had investigated before. If it was Ye Zhimeng, then she probably could have foreseen the result.

"Which company are you trying to fight for?"

"Cheng."

"The Cheng family? Yours?"

"Yes."

"How can the Cheng family have this ability now? Even if they get the project, they don't have enough financial resources to support it, so you still have to fight to the death?"

Ye Zhimeng recalled the collected information, he did not expect Cheng Xiaoxiao to be the heir of the Cheng family.

In this way, it is even more impossible. Cheng's has no ability to compete with Huaxia Group. Among the people who came tonight, only two of them are Huaxia's opponents.

"Sure enough, I came prepared, senior, if you say that, aren't you afraid that I will leak the information?"

"What are you afraid of? I have always believed in the character of the school girl. Are you going to let me down?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Could it be that all the books you have read for so many years have been for nothing?"

Ye Zhimeng stretched out his hand: "Maybe we are really partners. If Mrs. Cheng doesn't have this ability, would you like to complete this project with me?"

His understatement of the invitation seems to be nothing more than a trivial matter. Inviting an opponent to join his camp, can he really be so defenseless?
"You haven't won the project yet, who will win, don't you know?"

"Don't you believe it? The results will be announced soon, and the design drawing is going to be called for bidding, but you are definitely not qualified, not even eligible to bid."

He told the truth, Cheng Xiaoxiao was not annoyed after hearing it, but was thinking about the truth of what he said.

"If you can seriously consider my suggestion, you are always welcome to come to me."

Ye Zhimeng took out a business card: "Sister, I believe that the cooperation between the two of us will be seamless. The Huaxia Group is bound to win this bidding. Don't you want to participate?"

Her heart was moved, watching his back as he walked away, her hand holding the business card became tighter and tighter.

Originally, they thought that as long as Mr. Tang nodded, they would still have a chance. If it was true that Cheng was not qualified to bid as Ye Zhimeng said, wouldn't she be wasting her time?
She has worked so hard on this project for so long, how could there be an accident at the last moment?
The capital is not as good as Huaxia, the network is not as good, and the company's scale is even worse. She looked down and saw that his business card title turned out to be chief designer.

His status alone gave Huaxia a little more chance of winning, and he also knew that the Cheng family was not Huaxia's opponent, and his hope was slim.

It's not that she didn't think about it at first, and came to find such a backer as a partner.

Now does that count as an olive branch?
"I didn't expect you to be here. Do you still think Cheng has the ability to compete?"

When Zhou Qi'an came behind him, he sneered as soon as he opened his mouth.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't turn her head back, and she wasn't curious why he appeared here. Even looking at this man now, she felt disgusted.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm just telling you the reality, there's no need for us to be like this, do you really plan to confront each other like this when we meet in the future?"

"You're wrong. If I could, I don't want to see you. How good luck can make people, who told you that you are my brother-in-law now. It's really heartbreaking to see you when you look up."

"you……"

He was so sharp-tongued that he was so angry that he couldn't find words to refute for a while.

"Since the divorce, you have become more and more powerful, and your words are also thorny."

She sneered: "Don't listen if you don't like it, did I beg you to come and talk to me? Isn't it nice to be a stranger, why come here to find it so unpleasant and cheap."

"Xiaoxiao, you're really good. You've become so aggressive. The previous thing was that I was sorry for you, but you don't have to worry about it until now, right?"

She almost laughed out loud, a person with such a thick skin is definitely number one in the universe.

"Then do you think I'm going to shake hands with you and make peace? Then, regardless of the past, I will continue the relationship with you, or talk and laugh?"

Zhou Qi'an was embarrassed, wanted to go forward but dared not: "I didn't mean that, but you should listen to me."

"I'm sorry about our current identities. I really have nothing to say. When I think of you, there is only a rotten smell. It reminds me of the days when I almost died in prison. If you have a chance in the future, you should try it too."

She finished speaking calmly, took an empty wine glass, turned around and walked in.

Zhou Qi'an rubbed his head, his eyes greedily stared at her enchanting figure, full of reluctance and regret.
