Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Killed by Him

Zhang Qiuxue took out her phone and called her assistant to make a restaurant reservation.

Tonight, she definitely had to host a banquet for Xu Yang and his team.

It was already past five o'clock, and it was about time.

Just after she finished the call, she was about to say something to Xu Yang and the others when her phone immediately rang.

Seeing the caller ID, a smile curled up at the corners of Zhang Qiuxue's mouth.

"Mr. Xu, excuse me, I need to take this call," Zhang Qiuxue said apologetically.

"Please, go ahead," Xu Yang said with a slight smile.

"President Yang," Zhang Qiuxue answered the phone.

Yes, it was Yang Tiancheng who was calling.

Yang Tiancheng's position at Triumph Investment was that of a manager, but as he had come to discuss an acquisition, Chen Guanglei had authorized him to tell Zhang Qiuxue he was the vice president for work purposes.

"President Zhang, how are you considering it?"

Yang Tiancheng was at the hotel, feeling somewhat uneasy, so he called to ask about the situation and, by the way, to put some pressure on Zhang Qiuxue.

This morning, both parties had negotiated, and Yang Tiancheng had suggested Zhang Qiuxue to think it over and continue the talks the next morning.

"I've decided not to consider it," Zhang Qiuxue said indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Yang Tiancheng was somewhat puzzled.

What did she mean by not considering it?

"It means I have already reached a cooperation with another investor," Zhang Qiuxue said.

"What!" Yang Tiancheng was shocked, "President Zhang, how can you do this? We were negotiating just fine; how could you silently reach an agreement with someone else?"

Zhang Qiuxue sneered, "President Yang, what are you talking about? We were merely negotiating; we hadn't reached any cooperation. Why can't I work with someone else? Besides, you said that our negotiation was going well, but I didn't feel that way at all. You kept pushing the price down, offering only eight hundred and fifty million and not budging at all, which made things very difficult for me.

Now someone is willing to offer a higher price, so of course, I want to cooperate with them."

Yang Tiancheng said, "President Zhang, as a person in the business world, you must understand that this is a negotiating tactic. Regarding the price, we can still discuss it. Eight hundred and fifty million—if you are not satisfied, we can increase it. How about nine hundred million?"

Zhang Qiuxue said, "President Yang, as I've said, I've already reached a deal with someone else, and they are much more sincere than you. They agreed without a second word to the conditions I proposed. I believe if you were in my position, you would make the same choice as me."

"What, they agreed without a second word to a one billion acquisition?" Yang Tiancheng was surprised again.

"Yes, I've already signed a contract with the other party. There's no possibility of us working together. Goodbye," Zhang Qiuxue was about to hang up.

"President Zhang, don't hang up yet, I still have a question," Yang Tiancheng said urgently.

"What other question do you have?" Zhang Qiuxue now faced Yang Tiancheng without the same pressure she had felt in the past two days.

Actually, it was not just a little pressure; it was completely absent, making her feel very relaxed. She could listen to what the other party had to say.

"Who did you cooperate with?" Yang Tiancheng asked.

"Sorry, but I can't disclose the name of my partner without their consent," Zhang Qiuxue said.

"..." Yang Tiancheng didn't know what else to ask.

The call ended.

Yang Tiancheng felt bitter and put down his phone.

"Dad, what's wrong? Has Qianjiao Company been acquired by someone else first?"

Yang Jingsheng was right by Yang Tiancheng's side. Although he hadn't heard the entire conversation, he had caught the main content.

"Yes, it has been acquired," Yang Tiancheng's face looked incredibly unhappy.

This acquisition was crucial for him and his son's standing within Triumph Investment.

But now, it was abruptly acquired by someone else, leaving them without a chance.

This was truly hard for him to accept.

"How could this happen without any hint of it, and it's just been acquired like that? Doesn't this mean we'll lose our jobs at Triumph Investment?" Yang Jingsheng's face also grew ugly.

"I don't know. It's very possible," Yang Tiancheng said bitterly.

"If I find out who that bastard is who acquired it first, I'll kill him!" Anger and hatred were clear in Yang Jingsheng's red eyes.

"I also want to know, but Zhang Qiuxue isn't talking," Yang Tiancheng said.

"Dad, do you think it could be Xu Yang?" Yang Jingsheng suddenly blurted out this thought.

"Hmm?" Yang Tiancheng's gaze sharpened.

"Just now, didn't you say he wasn't here for tourism? It's very likely that he came for Qianjiao Company," Yang Jingsheng added.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?" Yang Tiancheng's expression turned ugly.

Speaking of it, his hotpot plan failed because of Xu Yang.

If it hadn't been for Xu Yang, who launched 'River Bottom Catch,' which was not just ordinary hotpot, it would have been absolutely no competition for Delicious Hotpot.

If it is Xu Yang again this time, it would be equivalent to falling into Xu Yang's hands twice.

"Why don't we call and ask?" Yang Jingsheng suggested.

"Right, ask, we must clarify who acquired it first so we can report back to Chen Guanglei," Yang Tiancheng nodded.

He immediately dialed Xu Yang's phone number.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello," Xu Yang's voice came through.

"Xu Yang, I want to ask, was it you who acquired Qianjiao Company?" Yang Tiancheng asked directly.

"Yeah, what about it?" Xu Yang answered lazily.

"It really was you!" Yang Tiancheng exclaimed.

"Mr. Yang, why so surprised?" Xu Yang feigned ignorance.

"Xu Yang, I was representing Kai Xuan Investments to acquire Qianjiao Company. We were just short of finalizing the price, and I didn't expect you'd get the jump on me."

Yang Tiancheng felt resentment in his heart but dared not show it.

Xu Yang definitely knew about his representation of Kai Xuan Investments in the acquisition of Qianjiao Company.

Claiming to be here for tourism was just to lull him.

"Oh, that's the case? Sorry about that, I really didn't know," Xu Yang lied blatantly.

"Xu Yang, can we talk business?" Yang Tiancheng's mind raced.

Xu Yang had already acquired Qianjiao Company, and the deal was sealed.

So, could he possibly acquire a small share, paying a slightly higher price?

That way, he could better handle Chen Guanglei's criticism.

"What business?" Xu Yang inquired.

"You've acquired a forty percent stake in Qianjiao Company. I was wondering if you could sell me a little, ten or twenty percent would do. I'm willing to pay a premium of ten million for the purchase. You could make a quick ten million from the resale, how about that?" Yang Tiancheng asked hopefully.

"Sorry, I'm not selling," Xu Yang said without mentioning other investors, as there was no need to discuss these matters with Yang Tiancheng. "Anything else? If not, I'm going to hang up."

The call ended.

Yang Tiancheng slumped onto the sofa.

"Xu Yang didn't agree?" Yang Jingsheng had already found out it was indeed Xu Yang who acquired forty percent of Qianjiao Company.

"He didn't agree," Yang Tiancheng said with a bitter shake of his head.

"That bastard, he's ruined us!" Yang Jingsheng cursed angrily.

Yang Tiancheng glanced at his son. He wanted to say, don't curse Xu Yang, we can't afford to provoke Xu Yang.

But on second thought, it didn't matter if they cursed Xu Yang since he couldn't hear them.

Moreover, Yang Jingsheng was voicing his own thoughts.

If it weren't for some concerns, he would also swear a few words.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Yang Jingsheng asked.
