Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 387 - Turtle Whip

Chapter 387: Chapter 388 Turtle Whip

“A centipede does not topple over even when dead.” Min Rou said, “Without the accidental intervention of Mr. Chu, how could the Third Lady acquire the Long Corporate Group, a company that is worth tens of billions, with just a few billion?
“The Long Corporate Group originally had other options. It was you who scared away other competitors and left the Long Corporate Group helpless. Otherwise, it was not impossible for the Long Corporate Group to survive for another three to five years with their current connections.
“And after three to five years, who knows what would happen. Even if nothing happens, the Third Lady still would not be able to acquire the Long Corporate Group with this price.”
In China, nine out of ten people would lose money in the stock market. I didn’t buy any stocks, even if it was Fengchang’s stocks. But I still checked out the stock market sometimes.
The reason why the Long Corporate Group decreased in its value was not because of the incident in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. The reality was that the unsatisfactory sales of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort and the generally sluggish investments in other areas had long affected the Long Corporate Group. Coupled with the financial crisis that engulfed the real estate industry, the Long Corporate Group was already riddled with holes.
So the Long Corporate Group was more like a flashy shell. That was the real reason why other companies were hesitant to help.
The Third Lady was naturally an exception. She had spotted the great prospects of Long Corporate Group a long time ago. Back then, when she cooperated with the Long Corporate Group in the development of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, she knew that this project would not end up well.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Although this was the current social development trend, it was still very difficult for the consumption level of Bei Tian city to increase to a level that would allow people to purchase a villa in ultra-high-end villa areas such as Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. It was said that this plan was first proposed by the government. But how could those guys who only thought about political prospects cared whether businessmen would lose or gain money in the future?
Once the project was completed, their goal would be achieved, and it was the same for the Third Lady. Knowing that the project had poor prospects, she was still willing to invest in the project because she wanted to become the Long family’s biggest creditor. In that way, she would be able to annex it and find a harbor for her to enter the domestic market.
From this point of view, it showed that she wanted to annex the Long Corporate Group for a long time. However, unlike other competitors, she didn’t mind losing some profit. Not to mention that she also had an advantage that other competitors didn’t have, and that was the cooperation of Fengchang Group!
Although the Third Lady did not say that she would definitely choose Fengchang as the partner of cooperation, I had a feeling that she would definitely use me. The so-called concession in the negotiation was just a gimmick in order to publicize the Third Lady’s ‘kind’ image. She used public opinion to create favorable conditions, and partnering with the well-regarded Fengchang would also help spur the stock price rebound of the Long Corporate Group that had just changed to a new boss.
Just as Long Shan said, the Third Lady was just a businessman, a businessman who was good at disguising herself and branding herself.
Therefore, I did not believe that her gratitude was sincere.
That was why I did not agree with Min Rou. But just when I was about to use tea instead of wine to toast Father Shu, I noticed that he and Mother Shu were looking at each other in shock. I couldn’t help but regret that I didn’t deny it more clearly. Now no matter what I said, they would not believe that I was just an ordinary clerk. Not only them, but even my own little sister also did not believe it as well.
“Elder Brother, did you really help someone acquire a big company? Why did I not know that you are so awesome?”
‘I’m not awesome, I’m stupid as fu** God damn it, I should have said it more clearly. But now the misunderstanding is even deeper!’
Min Rou was clever as a fox. How could she not tell that I was in a bad mood? But she still asked me with a smug smile, “Mr. Chu, are these dishes enough? Would you like to order some more?”
“No, no, no,” Grandma Shu said hurriedly, “We wouldn’t even be able to finish this whole pig, let alone other dishes. Let’s not waste food.”
Although Father Shu and Mother Shu declined hurriedly, I was annoyed by her smug smile, so I said, “I want to eat civet stewed with turtle whip, do you have that?”
I was just trying to give Min Rou a hard time. After all, the dish I said was a dish in the movie Police Story 3. I didn’t think this kind of dish would exist in the real world,
Sure enough, Min Rou’s delicate brows twisted together after she heard what I said, “Civet stewed with turtle whip? Do you have it?” She asked the restaurant manager on the side.
“Civet stewed with turtle whip?” Manager Tian nodded and said, “No, but we have the ingredients, so the chef should be able to make it.”
What! They could even make this dish? I was speechless. It seemed like I had underestimated the ability of the rich people.
Min Rou said lightly, “Then prepare it right away.”
“Okay, Miss Min.” The manager bowed and left the room.
Then I heard Chu Yuan muttered, “Turtle whip? …Elder Brother, you still haven’t told me if this is a tiger’s tail. Why is its shape so weird…”
Not just me, even Liusu and Shu Tong also felt embarrassed to explain. Min Rou opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to explain it to Chu Yuan. But after I glared at her coldly, she also gave up saying anything.
Huh! If she dared to teach unnecessary knowledge to my little sister, I would definitely make her regret it!
“It’s just food. Why do you ask so many questions?” In the end, it was Sister Tiger who saved me. She got up, took over the knife in my hand, and cut the tiger whip into smaller pieces.
After that, she gave a portion of the soup to Chu Yuan. But just when she wanted to give Liusu and Shu Tong a portion as well, the two women first looked at me and then hurriedly shook their hands with a blushing face.
“I don’t want it, you can give it to Nan… to Chu Nan.”
“Don’t give it to me… Mom, you can give dad a portion. Grandma can also try it. This thing… is very good. But you can’t eat too much.”
“Why can’t you eat too much?” My dear little sister picked up a small piece of meat and chewed it in her mouth, “It’s delicious…”
Shu Tong was a teacher. She was supposed to answer all her students’ questions. But at this moment, she only wanted to hide below the table.
In the end, it was Mother Shu who saved all of us. She smiled and said to Chu Yuan, “This thing is not just great for men, it is also good for women as well. It can give you vitality.”
“Really?” Chu Yuan was always a caring little sister in front of outsiders. She turned to Dong Xiaoye and said, “In that case, Elder Sister Xiaoye, can you give some more to my elder brother. He has been very busy recently, so he must be very tired. He needs to eat more of it to replenish his vitality.”
When Chu Yuan said this, Dong Xiaoye had already finished her portion and was about to get a refill. Seeing everyone was looking at her, her face instantly blushed. Mother Shu even chuckled and said, “See, she has too much vitality now.”
Hearing Min Ru say that I didn’t need to spend money on this meal, and it was the restaurant owner’s treat, Shu Tong’s parents were no longer that restrained. Compared to yesterday, their appetite was obviously much better. I felt that this was mostly due to Sister Tiger. Because of her, the atmosphere was very lively. Although Sister Tiger’s character sometimes would give people headaches, she was very likable most of the time.
On the contrary, I didn’t have much appetite. Min Rou was sitting next to Grandma Shu, telling her that she had given the instructions to the restaurant in advance, so most of the dishes were either steamed or stewed.
I couldn’t help but feel very anxious after she said this. From her words, I had a feeling that it was not Grandma Shu’s idea to eat something light, but her idea.
It seemed like Min Rou wanted to lure me here, but what was her purpose? If it was really the Third Lady’s treat, and she wanted to thank me, then why did the Third Lady refuse to show up?
There were these problems in my mind, so I didn’t really have much appetite. In the end, I could only finish the bowl of tiger whip Dong Xiaoye gave me.
Min Rou also didn’t eat much. While everyone was still eating, she sat on the sofa in the corner and continued to look through the documents she had brought, looking very busy. Not long after, she got a phone call. Maybe because everyone was talking excitedly with each other, the room was a bit noisy, so she told us that she needed to leave for a while.
Shortly after she left the room, I heard some argument outside the room. Just when I was about to get up to see what happened, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Manager Tian staggered into the room with his back to us. Seeing this, everyone instantly stopped talking.
“I’m really sorry for disturbing all the guests.” Manager Tian apologized and was about to exit the door, but there was obviously someone else blocking the door.
Manager Tian said embarrassedly, “Mr. Liu, it’s not gentlemanly of you to do something like this.”
