Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Didn’t Catch a Breath
The number given was Su Haikang’s mobile number.
At the ring of the phone, everyone’s eyes tensely fixed on Su Haikang.
Su Haikang swallowed hard, then,with shaking hands, he took out his phone and pressed the answer button.
Suppressing his excitement, he tried to speak calmly, "Hello, this is the Su Family..."
"Good day, I am the person in charge of this bid for Tenggui Group," the voice on the other end was polite yet formal, "I regret to inform you that your company’s bid was not selected. We hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you next time."
The excitement on Su Haikang’s face instantly stiffened.
He asked in disbelief, "Could you have made a mistake? Or called the wrong number? My name is Su Haikang, our company is..."
Before he could finish, the person on the line kindly interrupted, "That is impossible, Mr. Su. Our company’s President Shen has just signed the contract with someone else."
Su Haikang’s heart turned ice-cold.
He hung up the phone in a daze, turning to look at Old Sir Su, his lips moved, but he was unable to say a word.
Su Haikang’s reaction was clearly not one of happiness; Chi Changjing, Zhao Yuexiu, and Yin Xiuxiu felt their hearts suddenly lift in anxiety.
"What happened?" Old Sir Su had weathered many storms in his lifetime and was much more composed. He frowned and asked sternly.
Su Haikang’s lips moved again, and after a long pause, he finally uttered, "Tenggui Group... has signed with someone else..."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, "What?!"
Old Sir Su stood up immediately, his face grim as he pulled out his phone, "This is impossible! I will call Lady Hai..."
His hands trembling, he dialed Lady Hai’s number, but no one answered for a long time.
Old Sir Su, persistent, called several more times.
Finally, someone answered.
But the voice that came through was a stern male voice, "This is the Kyoto Third Ring Police Bureau, what is your relationship with this scammer?"
"Scammer?!" Even Old Sir Su could not help but stagger, "Isn’t she the girlfriend of Tenggui Group’s president?"
Hearing Old Sir Su’s words, the policeman on the line also understood and proceeded with official duty, "Mr. Shen had already reported the case in Hai Dou, and the police have been tracking it to Capital City, where we finally caught this scammer gang last night. If you’ve also been defrauded of money, come to the police station to make a record, and we will try our best to recover all of it."
Old Sir Su: ...
He hung up the phone in silence, his complexion frightfully pale. frёeωebɳovel.com
Yin Xiuxiu, Chi Changjing, and Zhao Yuexiu watched Old Sir Su’s complexion, none daring to speak.
It was Su Haikang who mustered the courage to ask, "Dad, what happened?"
Old Sir Su ignored him, leaning on the couch with the hand holding his phone, feeling a surge of blood rushing to his head.
For the sake of winning this bid successfully, he had spent twenty-five million on that Lady Hai!!
Twenty-five million!!
The Su Family’s annual revenue was only twenty million!!
He had spent so much money on a female scammer, all the various acts of lowly flattery...
Old Sir Su’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed straight down.

In the sanatorium, inside the sickroom.
Su Niannian was sitting by the bed, wiping away the rice grains from Mother Su’s mouth.
These past few days Mother Su’s complexion hadn’t improved much, looking tired and her voice very weak, "When your uncle comes back later, his mood probably won’t be good. Comfort him well..."
Mother Su was also aware of Xia Yong’s bid and naturally knew that the Xia Family had no competitive edge against other massive companies.
Xia Yong’s trip was bound to be fruitless, and his mood would definitely not be good.
Su Niannian nodded, "I know, Mom."
Although she trusted Sister Chi very much, she didn’t quite believe her uncle’s bid could outcompete those carefully polished by the teams of bigger companies...
While they were talking, the door to the sickroom was pushed open, and Xia Yong walked in beaming with joy.
