Chapter 750: I Feel Like I have Fallen Out of FavorTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Between a well-established, well-oiled organization, and one that is plagued with issues. It was clear as day which one of the companies they will choose to do business with.
Xiang Jinxi held his forehead looking gloomy.
After a moment, he finally managed to rein in his anger.
“Tell the business team that the company is willing to give out ten percent more, and get them to try again.”
“Okay.”
Chi Yun obeyed his orders.
Xiang Jinxi lay on the large office chair as signs of tiredness appeared by the edge of his eyes.
He had underestimated Huo Yunting!
In the face of his taunts and spats, Huo Yunting either simply laughed it off, or did not even bother at all.
At that time, he had thought that was all Huo Yunting was capable of, but now, he simply was not bothered to fight him.
But never mind.
He had not lost yet!
He will not give up until the very end!
The fight between Thunderbolt and Xiangyuan was obvious even to the blind, and in their ceaseless battle, Huo Yunting’s Thunderbolt Corp had bared their claws and fangs as they closed in, while Xiangyuan was on the repeated back foot, and seemingly without any way to fight back.
On the front page of every business newspaper, the headlines rang the same – Thunderbolt moves against Xiangyuan, and secures the XX project.
Every project that Xiangyuan had wanted to get their hands on, Thunderbolt would s.n.a.t.c.h it away.
Every potential target for cooperation, Thunderbolt would sway them away.
In the battle between the two companies, 99 percent had chosen to stand with Thunderbolt.
And after a few months, aside from an internal project, Xiangyuan could not secure any projects or investments. That circ.u.mstance forced Xiang Jinxi to downsize and retrench a large number of employees.
A company without income could only depend on their internal reserves to sustain their expenditure, and it was a literal case of not being able to make ends meet; and this news was like music to Lu Zhaoyang’s ears, easing her burning hatred somewhat.
“Here, eat,” she said as she placed the thermos food container on the table. “No more next time!”
d.a.m.n it!
She was his secretary, not his personal chef!
Huo Yunting slothfully picked up his chopsticks and started eating. As he ate, he glanced at her, as a teasing smile appeared on his lips. “If you don’t want to be responsible for my three meals, then can I go find some other woman for that?”
“I dare you!” Lu Zhaoyang picked up a fork and pointed at his eyes. “Believe me when I say I will literally fork you to death!”
Huo Yunting lifted both hands in surrender, and obliged. “I wouldn’t.”
“HMPH!”
Lu Zhaoyang was simply acting and she pulled the chair back and started eating as well. “I’ve been so busy for the past few months, thank G.o.d that Yazhi is around to look after Xuxu, and Xuxu being a good boy, otherwise my head will really crack.”
She slowly ate her food and her voice was m.u.f.fled by the food in her mouth. “But, seeing Xiangyuan going down further day after day, all those tiredness is more than worth it!”
“Hm.”
Huo Yunting could not deny it.
“If we continue on like this, Xiangyuan will go bankrupt sooner than later,” Lu Zhaoyang said as she bitterly bit onto the tip of the chopstick. “And then, we’ll buy up everything and leave Xiang Jinxi with nothing, only then will it subside my anger.”
Huo Yunting looked at her with an indiscernible gaze, a chilly glitter flashed through his eyes.
“…What are you scheming now?” Lu Zhaoyang picked up the fork again as she asked cautiously.
Huo Yunting snorted. “Is my image that horrible in your eyes?”
“Yeah, duh.”
Huo Yunting looked down and started chewing again, as he muttered to himself. “I feel like I have fallen out of favor.”
“…”
Can she tell him, she never actually favored him one bit?
