1574 It Doesn’t Matter Who Wins
Just as Kang Jichuan was hesitating, Kang Junjie received a call. He did not hide from everyone and even smiled at Kang Jichuan. “Cousin, Bo Cheng Real Estate heard that I’m going to invest, so they called me. Their project is guaranteed to be profitable. If you don’t agree to my request, then I can only choose them.”
Bo Cheng Real Estate?
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
Kang Corporation’s perfumes were not comparable to Bo Cheng Real Estate at all. Anyone would choose to invest in Bo Cheng Real Estate.
Everyone present knew that the bet agreement was too risky for Kang Corporation, but other than Kang Junjie, no one else was willing to invest in Kang Corporation.
Perhaps the perfume business might fail, but if they could not get the investment, they would not even have the chance to try. Moreover, when the perfume competition began, Old Madam Kang had already gotten someone to start producing perfumes with the funds. If they canceled the project now, they would not be able to recover the money they had invested previously. This project would definitely cause Kang Corporation to suffer a heavy blow.
Should they take a greater risk and take the challenge, or should they give up now?
Everyone looked at Kang Jichuan, waiting for his answer.
Seeing that he was hesitating, Kang Junjie shook his head regretfully and stood up to walk out. Kang Jichuan watched as he got farther and farther away from him. He could not help but think of Kang Qingzhi. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. In the end, he sighed. “Junjie, has the contract been drawn up?”
Kang Junjie stopped in his tracks, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He won this bet in the end. Now, it was up to Qiao Xi’s performance.
The woman Gu Zheng liked would naturally not be bad. Moreover, Qiao Xi’s grudge against the Kang family was too deep. If she wanted to deal with the Kang family, she would definitely not show mercy!
At this moment, at Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi sat in the small pavilion in the backyard. The autumn wind brought with it a trace of coldness. She leaned against the rocking chair and swayed gently, looking extremely satisfied.
Qiao Xi was not surprised at all that Kang Jichuan had finally signed the bet agreement.
Gu Yao was chattering at the side. “Why don’t you have any reaction at all? When I heard the news, I was so excited that I jumped up! If the business fails, they’ll have to pay 4.8 billion yuan! Kang Jichuan actually agreed?”
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and said slowly, “What else can he do if he doesn’t agree? Is such a small matter worth getting excited about? The amount of money involved in this bet isn’t big. Kang Junjie can only choose a sum that Kang Jichuan can afford and force him to jump into the trap.”
Gu Yao: “…” He suddenly felt that it was good to do a small business. It was too scary to have billions at the drop of a hat.
“Speaking of which, why did Yao Junjie change his surname? Isn’t he Yao Mengqing’s brother?” Gu Yao asked curiously.
Qiao Xi replied, “Yao Junjie isn’t from the Yao family to begin with. His surname is Kang, but his parents passed away when he was very young. His mother is from the Yao family, so his parents’ business belongs to the Yao family. In order to survive in the Yao family, he took the initiative to change his surname to Yao. Now that he has the ability, he changed it back. Don’t call him by the wrong name when you see him in the future. He’s called Kang Junjie.”
Gu Yao nodded and sat down on the chair beside Qiao Xi. Looking at her resting with her eyes closed, he asked with a smile, “Qiao Xi, the finals are about to start. Why aren’t you anxious at all? If Kang Qingzhi wins, won’t that plan…”
“It doesn’t matter who wins.” Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes with a trace of ridicule. “Even if she wins, it’s meaningless. After all, I wrote that perfume recipe.”
Five years ago, Kang Qingzhi stole her perfume recipes and she did not pursue the matter. Did Kang Qingzhi think that the perfume recipes were hers?m
She had long said that what was stolen could never be hers, but Kang Qingzhi seemed to have forgotten about it. She would see her in the competition!
Gu Yao instantly understood what Qiao Xi meant and smiled extremely proudly. “Do you need my help? As long as you say the word, I’ll go through fire and water!”
“There’s no need. Don’t worry about the perfume competition.” Qiao Xi smiled and said, “We won’t do anything in the finals this time. We’ll just let the competition continue normally. Kang Qingzhi’s ranking will depend on her luck.
“But she’ll be using my perfume recipe, after all. If nothing goes wrong, it won’t be a problem for her to get second place. At the very least, she’ll get third place!”
Gu Yao asked in confusion, “The perfume recipe you came up with can only win second place? Then who’s impressive and awesome enough to win the championship?”
Qiao Xi smiled. “I’m participating in the competition. Who else could it be but me?!”
