Chapter 226 He had already been keeping a mistress in a golden house.
"Once the Taihu Bay project is completed, the Han family should be one of the leading companies in China. Mr. Han, don't forget us, your partners who have fought alongside you. If you have any good projects, remember to share them with us."
"Isn't it a bit too early for Mr. Wang to be so eager to pledge allegiance at this point? Besides, how can you pledge allegiance with empty words? If you don't show some sincerity, Mr. Han won't have time to pay attention to you."
"Hey, Mr. Li, that's not right. Mr. Wang is just trying to get benefits for everyone. How can you say that about him? Mr. Wang, I heard that your Nuoan Construction is about to go public. I'd like to congratulate you in advance! If you become successful in the future, don't forget the friendship we built together."
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. Compared to Chengde Construction, Nuoan is just a small company that's just starting out. I'll need your help in the future. Oh, and Mr. Han too."
"Yes, yes, yes! The most important thing is to look at President Han's side!"
The group all looked at Han Xi.
With a broad smile, General Manager Zhang said, "General Manager Han, don't forget Chengde no matter what good projects you come up with. Rest assured, no matter what your requirements are, Chengde will definitely complete them with 100% quality!"
Since even General Manager Zhang has expressed his opinion, General Manager Li naturally doesn't want to be left behind.
He quickly raised his glass and said, "Consider this a contribution from Ruifeng Construction as well. Rest assured about the subsequent projects; Ruifeng will definitely not let you down!"
When Sheng Qianrui arrived, several CEOs were raising their glasses to toast Han Xi.
Han Xi had light eyebrows and a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. He neither responded nor declined, but picked up his wine glass and gently clinked it with the others.
"What are you all chatting about that makes you so happy?"
"President Sheng!"
Sheng Qianrui walked over, wearing a dazzling sequined dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Two thin straps draped over her shoulders, and her fair, square shoulders connected to her superior neckline, giving her an air of superiority even without saying a word.
Men are essentially visual creatures.
The CEOs who had just been bowing and scraping to each other about future cooperation suddenly lit up when they saw her, and their gazes almost simultaneously shifted from Han Xi to her.
Mr. Li immediately and courteously stepped aside to make room for him.
Faced with the man's greasy smile, Sheng Qianrui's expression remained unchanged, though a barely perceptible look of disgust flashed between her brows. She quickly shifted her gaze away, fixing it on the imposing man standing out from the crowd.
“Where did you go this afternoon? When I called my dad, Uncle Han was also there. He wanted to say a few words to you, but my assistant and I searched the whole hotel and couldn’t find you.”
Sheng Qianrui spoke with familiarity, her smile carrying a hint of reproach.
Han Xi took a small sip of the wine in his glass, his eyes lowered and he remained silent.
Upon seeing this, the faces of President Wang and his colleagues turned as cheerful as a palette of colors.
Their gazes darted from one person to another, back and forth between the two, as if they could actually discern some clue.
I had long heard that the Han and Sheng families had a close relationship, and that their cooperation was inseparable when the former Chairman Han was in office.
Later, Chairman Han stepped down, and the current CEO Han took over to manage the Han Group. Although there were no major cooperative projects with Shengshi Group, the two companies have never competed against each other.
Nevertheless, everyone thought that the Han and Sheng families would each occupy half of the capital, and from then on they gradually drifted apart.
Unexpectedly, with such a large project as Taihu Bay attracting so many companies across the country eager to get a piece of the pie, the Han family has once again sought cooperation with the Sheng family.
And right off the bat, they gave us 30% of the shares!
It's worth noting that the three companies combined only secured 15% of the contracted projects.
Mr. Wang and his group exchanged glances discreetly.
It seems that the relationship between the Han and Sheng families is not as precarious as outsiders speculate. The relationship built up over generations is still unbreakable, even if they do not cooperate much on a daily basis.
In addition...
The group looked at the equally attractive couple, a hint of ambiguity flashing in their eyes.
Mr. Li, who had been staring intently at Sheng Qianrui, quickly lowered his head. Not only did he feel ashamed, but he didn't even dare to glance at Sheng Qianrui.
Seeing his embarrassment, General Manager Zhang quickly smiled and said, "I've long heard that the Han and Sheng families have been friends for many years. I didn't expect that General Manager Sheng and General Manager Han have such a good relationship in private. There's a personal question about General Manager Han that everyone has been curious about for years. I wonder if General Manager Sheng could share it with us?"
“Since it concerns President Han, and he’s right here, why doesn’t President Zhang just ask him directly?” Sheng Qianrui smiled faintly, without responding.
Mr. Zhang's face stiffened slightly. He glanced at Han Xi and found that his expression had not changed. Then he smiled at Sheng Qianrui and said, "If we ask Mr. Han, he may not necessarily answer. But it's different for you, Ms. Sheng. Given your relationship with Mr. Han, it will naturally be easier to talk to him."
"is it?"
Sheng Qianrui looked at Han Xi and was surprised to see that he still didn't react.
He seems to be in a really good mood today. Even though outsiders are gossiping in front of him, he doesn't seem to care.
What exactly happened in the afternoon?
"Then why don't you tell me first, Mr. Zhang, and let me see if I know the answer?"
Mr. Zhang laughed heartily, "With Mr. Sheng's words, it seems we can also catch up with the trend of the young people and listen to Mr. Han's gossip live!"
Sheng Qianrui smiled.
"Everyone is curious: how come a young, outstanding, and successful person like President Han has always appeared alone in public over the years, and we rarely hear about his romantic affairs in private? We wonder if President Han has someone he loves or if he has been keeping a mistress all along?"
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he smiled and exchanged a glance with Mr. Wang beside him. The two of them looked genuinely curious, not like the CEOs of a company at all, but more like two crazy onlookers.
"So that's what you guys are curious about. I'm afraid I can't help you with this. Although we meet often in private, he keeps these things very secret and has never told me anything."
Sheng Qianrui kept smiling and looked up at the man opposite her.
As a result, I saw him holding his phone and rapidly tapping the screen, probably replying to someone's message.
The curve of her lips froze for a moment. Just as she recovered and was about to remind him, she saw the man's sharp lips suddenly curl slightly.
Although it was very fast, she still managed to capture it.
Sheng Qianrui parted her red lips slightly, and the smile in her eyes vanished in an instant.
Mr. Zhang and the others also noticed that Han Xi was busy replying to messages. Although they couldn't see the smile on his lips, a person's emotions can be detected from subtle expressions and demeanor.
Sometimes a man's intuition can be quite accurate.
For example, right now, they can guarantee that the person chatting with President Han is definitely a woman.
"It seems that President Han has been keeping a mistress hidden away for a long time."
As soon as Mr. Wang uttered those words, he felt a sudden oppressive atmosphere around him.
