C22 I Admit Defeat
"Grandma."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Su Nan kept telling me that you are the person she respects the most in her heart. So you must not be careless with your birthday gifts. These gifts have been prepared for two to three months. I just want you to be happy, my wife. Don't you think so? "
Yang Xuan used his elbow to lightly poke Su Nan, who was beside him.
"Ah? It's... it's like this..."
At this moment, Su Nan was already unable to back down. She was very clear in her heart that these gold, jewelry, and jade artifacts were not given to her at all.
However, since Yang Xuan had already said so much, she could only brace herself and admit it.
"Su Nan, you are thoughtful. Spend this money."
Although the old lady did not have a smile on her face, it could be seen that she was very happy. She said lightly, "Come and sit next to me!"
Because of this generous gift, Su Nan instantly became the main character of the entire birthday banquet. A group of people began to curry favor with her. Su Mei who was by the side was so angry that her face turned green but there was nothing she could do.
The old lady was a workaholic. Halfway through the birthday banquet, she started to talk about work matters again, "Have you guys heard that Tiancheng Group recently invested a large sum of money to do a few big projects in the north of the city?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Such a big thing."
When this matter was brought up, everyone started discussing it. "I heard that the Tiancheng Group has invested quite a lot this time. Sigh, it would be great if I could get some superficial information from them. "
"Forget it. How many first-rate enterprises can't even see their faces when they squeeze their brains out? It's not our turn either."
The group of people were dejected.
After all, the Tiancheng Group was the publicly acknowledged leading enterprise in the Nanjiang City. One-third of the tax in the Nanjiang City was directly or indirectly related to the Tiancheng Group. It was enough to show the strength of the Tiancheng Group.
As for the Su's, it could only be considered a second-rate company in the Nanjiang. It was impossible for them to cooperate with the Su's.
"Grandma, I have a suggestion!"
At this moment, Su Mei suddenly stood up, "I think we can send someone to try. Anyway, even if we fail, we won't lose anything. But what if it succeeds?"
As she spoke, Su Mei's eyes kept glancing towards Su Nan. It was very obvious that she had started to have crooked thoughts again.
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "This is also reasonable. But who should we send?"
When these words came out, everyone immediately lowered their heads, afraid that they would be given this task.
The Su Family's rules had always been very strict. No matter what, as long as they did not do well, they would be severely punished.
If it was something else, they could still try it out. However, the cooperation with the Tiancheng Group was simply groundless, and no one was willing to provoke it.
"Grandma, I suggest that Su Nan go!"
Su Mei suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Everyone has seen Su Nan's ability in the company. With her conditions, it is most suitable to talk about working with her!"
"But..."
Su Nan suddenly raised her head and was just about to defend herself when she was interrupted by Su Mei. "Su Nan, don't reject it. Didn't you just say that... Grandmother is the person you respect the most? Cooperating with the Tiancheng Group is one of Grandma's wishes. Just treat it as if it's for Grandma. What does it matter if you go and try?"
"I..."
Su Nan was at a loss for words for a moment, totally did not expect Su Mei to do such a thing.
"Su Nan, what do you mean?"
The old lady looked up at Su Nan. Although she was asking, the meaning of her eyes and tone was very clear. She wanted Su Nan to go.
"Grandma, I..."
Su Nan was so anxious that she gritted her teeth. If it was something else, as long as it was for the good of Su Family, she would not be afraid of any hardship.
But this was going to talk about cooperation with the Tiancheng Group. It was simply impossible.
"Could it be that what you said just now was false?"
Su Mei interrupted, "Since you have always said that you respect your grandmother, then what's wrong with doing something for your grandmother and the entire Su Family?"
Just as Su Nan was at a loss, Yang Xuan suddenly smiled at the old lady, "Grandma, since this cooperation is so important to the Su Family, Su Nan will definitely not have any objections and will definitely do it for you."
This guy is crazy!
Hearing Yang Xuan's sudden words, Su Nan's heart suddenly tightened. If not for so many people present, she would definitely have gone mad on the spot.
"Alright!"
Su Mei saw the opportunity and quickly said, "Everyone is here today. Since Su Nan agreed, this task will be officially assigned to Su Nan. But there are some things that need to be said first. Everyone knows the rules of Su Family. If the cooperation cannot be reached, then we will do whatever we need to do. "
Seeing Old Lady Su open her mouth as if she wanted to say something, Su Mei quickly said, "Grandmother, the matter is one thing. Su Nan's sincerity is precious but the rules of Su Family cannot be broken."
Old Lady Su pondered for a moment and said," Okay. I will now officially assign this task to Su Nan. The Su Family's rewards and punishments are clearly defined. If they become meritorious, they will naturally be meritorious. But if she fails, according to the rules, she will be punished accordingly. Su Nan, do you have anything else you want to say? "
Su Nan's heart was dead but since the matter had already developed to this point, she had no other choice but to gently sigh, "Grandma, I will do my best."
This matter could be considered settled because there was still work to be done the next day. The old lady looked at the time and waved her hand," It is almost time for today. Dismissed. "
"Wait!"
At this moment, Yang Xuan suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned their eyes to him, wondering what he was going to do.
"What's wrong? You want to go back on your word?"
Su Mei sneered and said, "Just now, it was you who personally agreed. I didn't force you. The rules of the Su Family are set here. If you say it out loud, it will splash water..."
"I'm not talking about that."
Yang Xuan said calmly, "We know what to do about the cooperation with the Heaven City Corporation. However, did you forget something today?"
Su Mei was stunned. "What is it?"
Yang Xuan glanced at the pile of gold, silver, and jewelry on the table. "We just agreed that if someone sent a birthday gift, it would be your loss. You can do whatever I want."
When he said this, everyone's gaze immediately shifted to Su Mei. Only then did they recall that there was such a thing.
"That was just a casual remark. You really took it seriously!"
Su Mei waved her hand indifferently. "It's getting late. Everyone should disperse. I don't have the mood to talk to you."
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Yang Xuan took a big stride and appeared in front of the other party. His two eyes stared straight at the other party. He said calmly, "You just said it yourself. This is the rule of the Su Family. What happened? Do you want to challenge this rule now? "
After saying that, she shifted her gaze to the old lady, "Grandma, if you want to change the rules of the Su Family, just pretend that I never said it."
"Stop it!"
Su Nan quickly went forward to pull Yang Xuan. However, this time Yang Xuan did not listen to her. He only gave her a look without batting an eyelid.
The old lady seemed to be in a difficult position. She opened her mouth and finally gritted her teeth. "Su Mei, you are willing to bet and you are willing to admit defeat!"
