CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 994: MISSED OPPORTUNITIES (6)

"What are you worried about?" Situ Xuan’s gray-blue eyes emitted a cold light: "Yesterday, I already talked to your son. Business is business, and personal matters are personal matters. Although the engagement will be canceled, the contract we signed before will not change. In the coming years, all collaborations between our two families will be completed according to the original terms. The cancellation of the engagement won’t nullify these matters."

As for the Cheng Family, even though they borrowed the Situ Family’s channels to do business in North America, he still took a commission from it. He went for an arranged marriage, not a charity; it wouldn’t make sense for Cheng Juye to let the Situ Family work for them for free, right?

Cheng Juye was at a loss for words and said, "Axuan, though it is said that way, after all, our two families are going to become relatives... Moreover, our company is about to expand into Huaxia Country. I heard you’ve been in Huaxia Country for the past six months, you must have a good understanding of it..."

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a cold smile. After all that talk, they still want to leverage his power to help their company expand into Huaxia Country?

He sat back on the sofa, skillfully opened the wooden cigar box, and his long fingers gently picked up a cigar. Ya Jiayi immediately handed over the special cigar matches, watching him use the cigar cutter to deftly preheat at the flame. Once the aroma of the tobacco wafted out, he skillfully cut off an end and lit the cigar.

A faint mint-scented smoke immediately rose up. He took a deep breath and exhaled a soft white smoke from the tip of his pen, then chuckled lightly: "The Cheng Family also wants to expand into Huaxia Country? Sure, no problem."

Cheng Juye never expected that the matter he had been worried about would be so easily resolved by Situ Xuan!

Right now, Huaxia Country is not the same as it was before! In recent years, Huaxia Country’s development has been remarkable, with numerous international brands already flooding in, occupying countless markets. If they had come to develop in Huaxia Country years ago, hearing they were a Canadian big brand would perhaps have garnered some respect. But now, it’s different.

If the Cheng Family wants to develop, relying on themselves alone will make it hard to succeed; they must utilize other channels.

In the U.S. market, for instance, Situ Xuan has helped them quite a bit. And the Situ Family is the number one overseas Chinese family.

Cheng Juye originally thought that if both families had kinship relations, leveraging Situ Xuan’s channels would allow them to flourish in Huaxia Country as well, but who knew these things would happen.

However, Situ Xuan was surprisingly straightforward about discussing cooperation, which made Cheng Juye very pleased: "Then Axuan... when shall we collaborate?"

The mention of continuing collaboration immediately relieved his backache and eased his posture. Of course, Cheng Juye definitely couldn’t let Cheng Tingting really marry Situ Xuan—after all, it was under Jian Anning’s name that Cheng Tingting was engaged to meet Situ Xuan. If the truth came out, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences!

Situ Xuan’s lips curled into a cold smile; he knew that as long as he dangled a little bait, they would automatically take the hook!

However, business is business, and personal affairs are personal affairs. He was well aware that in the business arena, there are plenty of shameless people, and the ability to make money or cooperate isn’t necessarily connected to the lack of shame. Families like the Cheng Family—who are just racking their brains for benefits—are not uncommon.
