Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting Chapter 743 - 565: Don’t Cry If You Lose (Second Update)

After the storm at the Yin Group press conference.

As soon as the funds Su Xiaong borrowed from the British Royal Bank were in place, she imdiately transferred them for Zeng Xiaocheng’s use.

Although Zeng Xiaocheng had twisted his foot and had a few scratches on his face, he was still capable of working.

Especially after he adamantly blad Shan Minglang for his fall down the stairs, Shan Minglang had to go to the hospital to bring him als every day after delivering food to Su Xiaong.

Shan Minglang made it seem like he was quite happy to deliver als to Zeng Xiaocheng.

Actually, after he found out that Zeng Xiaocheng would be using substantial funds to resolve the continuous decline of Yin Group’s stock, he decided he had to keep an eye on Zeng Xiaocheng.

He didn’t understand much about the stock market, but he could certainly tell if soone was slacking off.

Zeng Xiaocheng didn’t think as much as Shan Minglang did. Seeing Shan Minglang accompany him at the hospital daily, he simply thought he felt guilty.

Additionally, Zeng Xiaocheng believed that for two people to develop so kind of relationship, it was necessary to spend ti together.

Thus, the longer Shan Minglang stayed with him at the hospital, the happier he beca.

It was just a twisted foot, yet he stayed in the hospital for a full week.

Under Zeng Xiaocheng’s busy efforts over several days, Yin Group’s stock began to show improvent.

Solely through one person’s efforts, a large company’s stock could rise or fall to a certain extent, both Su Xiaong and Chen Lan were truly awed by Zeng Xiaocheng.

The specific operations involved, the amount of funds used, and the banks involved were all unknown to Xiao ng.

Zeng Xiaocheng wanted to talk about it, but after hearing a few figures, Xiao ng raised her hands in surrender.

During this ti, she was busy handling the variety of short-term problems at Yin Group, while preparing to vie for the Bill Group’s Asia-Pacific contract.

Su Xiaong was overwheld, but fortunately, she had plenty of help.

The company’s senior managent, the British Royal Bank, Xuanran Technology Company, and her uncle Bai Fengmao occasionally contacted her by phone, providing guidance on certain projects.

Everything was fairly orderly.

However, no one knew that while Su Xiaong was busy with company matters, her heart was on edge and never relaxed.

Half a month had passed, and Shan Mingxu still hadn’t brought back what’s in the yacht’s black box.

Last week, Su Xiaong tried calling the army to find Shan Mingxu, but was inford that Shan Mingxu was on a mission.

Su Xiaong knew that this was understandable.

Shan Mingxu was a soldier, obeying orders was his duty, and the military’s tasks were far more important than personal matters.

However...

Su Xiaong thought that Shan Mingxu would at least contact her once, even if there was no progress, it would have been nice to hear from him.

Chen Lan was the only one besides Su Xiaong and Shan Mingxu who knew that Yin Shixiu might still be alive.

Though Su Xiaong didn’t speak of it, even Chen Lan’s mind was preoccupied with it, not to ntion her own.

In the blink of an eye, it was early July.

More than a month had passed, where exactly was Yin Shixiu...

Su Xiaong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, day after day, observing what Yin Shixiu used to look at every day.

This towering building in the city center arrogantly watched the city bring people laughter and tears, pain and separation.

The webs of roads weaving the city into a maze...

She was truly afraid her husband would forget the way ho.

Today was a very important day for Yin Group.

Whether the Bill Group’s Asia-Pacific contract could be secured depended on her performance today.

A clean and smart little suit, with pants made of breathable, draping fabric, tailored to above the ankles.

Though still not accustod to five or six centiters of stilettos, Su Xiaong could already walk well and steadily in them.

Of course, she could opt for a pair of flats and tackle these tricky occasions in the most comfortable attire.

Yet she understood that she wasn’t tall, and walking steadily in stilettos made her appear more mature and confident.

She hadn’t reached the stage where she could, like Ren Yixuan, hold her own in just a T-shirt and casual pants.

She required exquisite clothes and a pair of uncomfortable yet appropriate stilettos to demonstrate her status and dignity.

"Madam, it’s ti, we should head out."

Su Xiaong nodded, Chen Lan already had all the materials prepared, and the two walked out of the president’s office one after the other.

————

Ever since Bill announced that the Rong Group and Yin Group would openly compete for the Asia-Pacific contract at a certain high-end venue.

dia reporters had their eyes fixed on the location.

The original plan was to hold a eting at one in the afternoon, all dia personnel arrived early, yet when the hour finally struck one, they realized the conference hall was silent.

dia reporters exchanged puzzled glances, clueless about the situation.

anwhile, representatives of Yin Group, Rong Group, and Bill Group gathered at another high-end venue further from the city center.

The change of venue was only notified to the Rong and Yin Groups by Mr. Bill around noon.

Rong Jing arrived without any semblance of surprise.

With no dia reporters present, Su Xiaong felt relieved.

The source of the leaked news about competing for the Asia-Pacific contract was tacitly understood by all parties involved.

Su Xiaong was accompanied by Chen Lan, Secretary Luo, and three other senior managers from the company who were responsible for Bill Group-related projects last year.

Rong Jing also brought along a small team of six people.

After so formalities, each party took their designated seats.

Mr. Bill and several of Bill Group’s senior managers sat in the center of the first row of the audience seats.

Whether intentionally or not, Rong Jing sat right next to Su Xiaong after she settled into her seat.

"Mr. Rong, we’re competitors. Sitting so close might not be appropriate, don’t you think?"

"We’re not only competitors, are we?"

"..."

Su Xiaong subtly furrowed her brow.

"Recently, I’ve often thought about our first eting..."

"It seems President Rong is living quite leisurely, having free ti to reminisce."

"No need to deliberately recall, it’s just that no one else has ever called ’super super uncle’ in this lifeti..."

As Rong Jing spoke, his gaze towards her eyes carried playful amusent.

Su Xiaong knew he was deliberately teasing her.

After sitting in the president’s chair of Yin Group for over a month, the business arena wasn’t particularly kind to a newcor female businesswoman.

This verbal teasing was just so male businessn’s display of disrespect towards won in comrce.

Su Xiaong smiled,

"Super super uncle... If you hadn’t ntioned it, I would have forgotten. Indeed, we’ve known each other quite a while. Surprisingly, President Rong remains unchanged."

"Compared to most people, indeed, only you, Su Xiaong, make others seem unchanged."

"I’ll take that as a complint from President Rong."

"Don’t cry if you lose later."

Leaning back in his chair, Rong Jing murmured.

Su Xiaong laughed again,

"Don’t worry, I won’t cry. I’ve been losing since childhood, losing is losing, but you, super super uncle..."

Turning her head slightly, her eyes shifted, full of allure as she glanced sideways at him,

"Apart from frequently losing to my husband, have you ever lost to anyone else?"

"..."

Rong Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"If you happen to lose to a woman who knows nothing, don’t let Young Master Rong’s pride beco insurmountable. Victory and defeat are normal military affairs; take it lightly."

"I genuinely didn’t know you could be so sharp-tongued."

"Rong Family, Yin Family, which one of you would like to start?"

The secretary accompanying Mr. Bill spoke.

"We—"

"Yin Family first."

Just as Rong Jing opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Su Xiaong.

"OK."

Su Xiaong stood up and headed to the front of the conference hall, where her assistant connected the computer to the projection screen.

With her long hair tied at the back and a calm and confident smile on her face,

she nodded slightly and began a detailed presentation on the project plans within the Asia-Pacific contract for Bill Group.

Her fluent and natural English instantly impressed the Bill Group senior managent present.
