Chapter 372: Chapter 372: A Huge Pie
He Yirong was very pleased and laughed heartily as he patted his son on the back, “These past few years have indeed been thanks to Jingyao; he hasn’t let down after all.”
He Jingyao’s brow twitched, restraining the urge to shake off his father’s hand.
Ye Shutong looked at He Jingyao with a smile, “Young Master He is indeed outstanding, and HI Group has truly exceeded my expectations.”
“Miss Ye flatters ,” replied He Jingyao with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, “May I know if Miss Ye has any advice for ?”
This woman’s tone carried a faint scrutiny and a sense of superiority; she probably ca prepared.
Even his father had let her attend HI’s board eting; the purpose, I fear, was not simply to create opportunities for him.
“It’s like this,” Ye Shutong said with a restrained smile, “I learned from my aunt that the scientific academy’s new energy research has been successful and is about to enter the practical stage. My uncle intends to select a few powerful corporations to participate in the developnt and promotion of new energy. Our Ye Family has the honor of receiving my uncle’s favor, but alone, the Ye Family is not capable of completing it. Therefore, my uncle is still selecting other enterprises, and I intend to recomnd the He Family to my uncle. I wonder if Uncle and Young Master He are interested?”
Ye Shutong’s aunt and uncle are none other than the President and the First Lady.
And what she was offering was more than just an olive branch; it was a huge pie, and a particularly delicious one at that.
The importance of energy as a fundantal industry goes without saying. Especially the new energy supported by the nation… The enormous benefits and opportunities involved were enough to make all capitalists flock to it eagerly.
He Yirong’s eyes were already alight with a fervor that had been missing for a long ti! Even though he had semi-retired, he couldn’t suppress the boiling of his blood in this mont!
The research into new energy had been ongoing for a long ti, and unexpectedly, it had already succeeded. This was undoubtedly a great political achievent for President Cheng Youlin!
And now, the He Family would have the chance to have a share.
Although the He Family was second to none when it ca to powerful enterprises, due to its distance from the political center, Yangdong City, the He Family’s involvent in politics had always been limited. Without Ye Shutong’s introduction, HI Group would at most be a backup option, but it would be hard-pressed to compete with the major conglorates that had sufficient strength in both the political and business spheres.
So… He Jingyao, looking at Ye Shutong’s restrained smile beneath which her arrogance couldn’t be concealed, beca even more certain that this woman had co with a purpose.
“It’s fantastic that new energy can now be put into application,” He Jingyao smiled, speaking before He Yirong, “However, it’s a pity that HI Group is currently negotiating several projects, so we probably won’t have the spare funds to participate, unfortunately.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Shutong looked at him in astonishnt. And on the other side, He Yirong was almost killing him with his glare!
“Jingyao, you…” He was so angry he rolled his eyes wildly, yet he couldn’t contradict his son’s words on the spot.
“I appreciate Miss Ye’s kind intentions,” He Jingyao continued with a calm smile, cutting off any words He Yirong was about to say.
“It’s alright,” Ye Shutong took a deep breath and cald herself, “If Young Master He changes his mind, just let know at any ti. After all, this project won’t start imdiately; we still have ti.”
With that, her smile took on a mysterious quality.
“I won’t disturb the two of you any further.” Seeing that He Yirong was really struggling to hold back, Ye Shutong tactfully got up and left the conference room.
As soon as Ye Shutong’s figure disappeared, He Yirong roared at his son, “Jingyao, what are you thinking!”
