The company operated by Hu Ping’s family primarily deals in mining, forestry, and real estate, and of course, many other industries, all of which are almost always profitable.
Only the technology sector has been consistently losing money, continuously pouring funds with no sign of improvent.
Even the new cha factory at Wu Qingqing’s ho is a bit better than the Hu family.
Minerals will eventually run out, land cannot be infinitely developed, forestry is renewable but takes more than ten years for a single harvest.
Just because President Hu’s businesses don’t include any "elegant" trades, many in high society mock him for being crude and incapable of cultural enterprises.
The reason why President Hu is looked down upon is simple; he is an illegitimate child of the Hu family, with an elder brother above him who inherited the older generation’s business.
When Hu Ping’s grandfather was alive, President Hu received no support.
Life was tough, with bouts of hunger and sporadic oppression from the elder brother’s side.
Eventually unable to endure, he dropped out and went to a remote planet to work, where he t the daughter of a mine manager and succeeded with the help of the Yue family.
How could those who fancy themselves as nobility appreciate soone like President Hu, given his background and experiences?
Fortunately, fate worked its cycles, and the elder brother who inherited the Hu family’s business fell on hard tis, becoming part of the third-rate class on Capital Star.
He can no longer laugh at the younger brother he once oppressed, often having to ingratiate himself shalessly just to avoid being cast out by his circle.
...
At the entrance of Hu’s Company, the first person seen is not President Hu, but a gentlemanly and extraordinary Wu Zhaoxiang, dressed in a black suit and glasses.
Beside him is a chubby middle-aged man, who is indeed President Hu, "Hey there, dressed all spiffy, you ca here to talk business with ?"
The two have business overlap, have collaborated multiple tis, and are old acquaintances indeed.
"Haha, we are all old friends. Whoever you’re waiting for, I’m waiting for as well." Wu Zhaoxiang clasped his hands behind his back, wearing a mysterious smile.
President Hu smirked, "Are you set on entering the technology industry? Not afraid of losing your old money?"
"You’re no different. I can’t get into cha for now, so I’ll venture into other fields. You wouldn’t hog all the soup from your little brother, would you?"
Wu Zhaoxiang humbly admitted.
The saying goes, don’t hit a smiling face, President Hu several tis wanted to retort and send him away, but couldn’t find an opportunity.
While they bickered back and forth, Hu Ping’s group arrived smoothly at the company.
President Hu values this cooperation highly, as it concerns his key attempt to enter the technology sector again.
With his chubby legs, he approached and noticed all getting off the vehicle were young people.
He was stunned for a while, secretly wondering who the main character today was.
His gaze swept over Ji Heng and Ji Li, then paused on Xing Miao and Feng Wansha, trying to identify which was the ga developer.
His son only ntioned it was a junior schoolmate, but didn’t provide a photo.
A major oversight!
Taking advantage, Wu Zhaoxiang squeezed in, unexpectedly eting Su Xiaocai so soon; he was overly decisive at the ti, thinking Su Xiaocai’s confidence was exaggerated.
After his daughter inford him about Su Xiaocai developing that kind of ga, Wu Zhaoxiang’s perspective changed.
He is a genuine businessman, able to set aside pride and interact politely with the younger generation. Extending his hand, "Miss Su, it’s an honor to et again. You ntioned collaboration last ti, I hesitated then, my apologies. Now, I’m shalessly here, seeking opportunity."
Sua Xiaocai remained unfazed by Wu Zhaoxiang’s complints, shook his hand, and kindly said: "Just as well, we need to discuss things with Uncle Hu, how about you offer so advice, Uncle Wu?"
"Alright, no problem for sure. You call Uncle Wu, then I’ll call you my niece. It’s my daughter’s fortune to have a talented niece like you as her roommate." Wu Zhaoxiang was professional at bringing others close.
With Su Xiaocai’s words, he wasn’t afraid of Hu forcing him out.
It’s not the first ti Wu Qingqing watched her dad talking business, hearing him say niece here and talented there.
It’s this kind of comrcial flattery that makes Wu Qingqing resist becoming an heir.
To do business, one must understand the language of the trade, like Su Xiaocai’s skillful way of asking Wu Zhaoxiang for advice just now, without outright embarrassing President Hu, yet introducing a competitor to him.
Wu Qingqing admits she doesn’t have such a mind.
Plus, her dad is in his pri and could keep working for eighty more years without issue.
Unaware his daughter thinks of him as hardworking livestock, Wu Zhaoxiang’s smile grew even brighter, realizing soone confident has that composure, increasing his anticipation for Su Xiaocai’s ga.
