th force. His face flushed red from his rapid breathing."Hmph!" Xiang Wan scoffed. "I don't have a hypocrite father like you who puts on a show! Don't mistake me for your daughter! And by the way, I s...The people in the room clearly felt that He Hanchuan was in a bad mood. Ever since Xiang Wan left, no one dared to speak again.

On the contrary, Xiang Jian was much more at ease since the establishment of the nation. He regained his former elegance and composure.

He poured drinks for several people and chuckled softly, "Don't let unimportant people spoil our fun. Let's keep drinking."

He clinked glasses with several people and drained his drink in one go.

The atmosphere in the private room gradually improved, as if nothing had happened with towards evening. However, the smoke was flickering faintly, and He Hanchuan sat in the center of the room, his interest seemingly not very high.

After three rounds of drinks, Xiang Jianguo felt a bit more bold. But when speaking to He Hanchuan, he remained cautious. "Mr. He, what do you think of the latest project our company has developed"

This new project is completed and the return on investment is very impressive.

But evil will always exist. This project is too large, involving too many aspects. Whether it's funding or other areas, the Xiang Group alone can't handle it.

"So so." The cigarette was almost finished, He Hanchuan tossed the butt into the ashtray.

Hearing this, everyone in the room had their own thoughts, but they couldn't escape the feeling of envy.

It's not often that He Hanchuan would say something like "good job". This time, the Xiang Group has really boarded a big ship. They could make a lot more money in a year.

Xiang Jianguo was also beaming with joy. He couldn't hide his excitement about collaborating with the Hello Group. He was sure to make a fortune from this project.

And once there's a chance to collaborate, there will be a second, third...

"But the He Group has no intention of cooperating for now, I apologize." Jian Guo's joy subsided as he took in the news. A faint glimmer flashed in He Hanchuan's eyes, and he said with a calm voice.

Xiang Jianguo's smile froze on his face, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. In a panic, he asked: "Since President He thinks this project is feasible, why not cooperate with me"

This project has been in preparation for nearly two years. He has been striving to cooperate with the Ho Group, and Mr. Ho had indeed revealed his intention to cooperate before today. How come he suddenly changed his mind

"Are you questioning me" The light fell on He Hanchuan, the stand-up collar of his shirt casting a shadow between his collarbones, making his brows and eyes appear even more cold and sharp.

"General He has misunderstood," Xiang Jianguo tried to appear less eager, but he still couldn't achieve his usual elegance, "I just want to ask for the reason so that I can learn from it."

“It has nothing to do with the project I proposed to General Xiang. It's just that Heshi Group is having some financial difficulties recently.” He Hanchuan stood up. “I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

He was polite in his words, but his actions showed no trace of humility. After speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and left without a word.

As soon as he stood up, several people in the room followed suit. They sat down again only after the door closed. Except for Xiang Jianguo, who remained standing with a glass of wine in his hand, his face as dark as an overturned inkwell.

The H&H Group may not claim to be the biggest in China, but it is definitely one of the leading enterprises. Its supply chain management is excellent and serves as a must-study case for finance professors at top universities.

Now He Hanchuan is actually saying that there are problems with the funding chain, which is obviously just an excuse, a very superficial one.

"No wonder I was rejected when I proposed a collaboration with President Xiang before. It turns out he already had an ideal partner in mind." One person laughed, "However, it's a pity that this ideal partner seems to be unhappy with President Xiang's project."

"I've also heard from quite a few people lately about Xiangshi Group's new project. I hear the returns are very impressive. Logically, Mr. He shouldn't give up on a cake that's already in his grasp."

Maybe President He isn't unhappy with the project, but rather dislikes the fact that it involves the daughter of the cleaning lady at headquarters.

A few people sneered.

His face went from green to white, then from white to red, like a painter's palette.

He put down his glass and picked up his briefcase, "There are still some things to deal with at the company. I'll leave first."

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Xiang. This isn't your fault after all. No one wants to raise a murderer. Blame it on your daughter for getting involved with the wrong people." People who usually didn't get along well with Xiang Jianguo were gloating about his misfortune.

With a forced smile, Xiang Jianguo suppressed the anger brewing inside him and said, "Yang Zong, please don't take offense. Just consider this a lesson learned from Xiang Wan. Take good care of your daughter. I heard she's been involved in quite a few scandals with some young celebrities lately. Who knows how her in-laws feel about it."

The man's smile on his face instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Jian Guo's heart felt a little better, and he opened the door and left.

Wanye stared blankly at the ground, her heart swirling with an indescribable mix of emotions.

As a stranger, Ren Xiaoya apologized to the Dream Pavilion for being unable to help her, while her biological father, out of self-interest, publicly humiliated her in front of He Hanchuan.

The gap was too obvious, making it impossible for her to deceive herself.

"Lu Wan." Xiang Jianguo walked up to her, his face ashen, and called out her name.

向晚 stood up straight, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He called her "Wanwan" for twenty years, but now he calls her "Xiang Wan" instead...

Immediately, he let go of his anger. He didn't care about her anymore, what did it matter if she was called Xiang Wan

She propped herself up on her mop and sneered, "So Mr. Xiang finally deigned to speak to me, a lowly cleaner and murderer"

"Speak to me properly, don't be so insincere!" Xiang Jianguo frowned and rebuked.

"What capacity are you requesting me in, exactly" Xiang Wan chuckled softly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "Father Or perhaps a distinguished guest from Dreamland's establishment"

The corridor was bustling with people, who occasionally glanced at the two of them and muttered something.

Their voices were too soft for JianGuo to hear, but when two princesses from the Dream Palace brushed past him, he heard their words.

"Isn't that the murderer She's Xiang Jianguo's daughter!!!"

"Tsk, Xiang Jianguo donated so much money and stuff abroad. Who knows if it's just for show If he was really a good person, could he have raised a murderer"

Xiang Jianguo's face flushed red, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He glared at Xiangwan, lowering his voice and saying, "Come with me."

Having said that, he took the lead and strode toward the stairwell, moving with such haste as if some demon or beast was chasing him from behind.

Towards Evening looked at his back, unable to tell if she was angry or disappointed.

Even if He Hanchuan wasn't here, her father, who had once loved her the most, wouldn't want to stand beside her in public... afraid of shame.

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then put down the cleaning tools and walked towards the stairwell.

"I ask you, Yu's wound on his head, is it because of you!" Xiang Jianguo pointed at her and roared in a low voice.

"Yes." Xiang Wan looked at him, unsure what she still hoped for. "I didn't want to hit the car and commit suicide. Brother drove the car into..." it went on.

Slap!

Her words were cut short by a loud slap.
