A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 343 11.11 Opening

"By the way, have you finished writing all the invitations yet? Find a time to send one over to the Qius, then our grandfather can be happy about it too," Ye Fan changed the topic and started talking to Qiu Mu-

Cheng about the company.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. "I'm almost done, I'll send it over tonight."

"But I don't think my grandfather and the rest of them would be too happy to see it," said Qiu Mu-Cheng in a low voice. There was a strange tone in her voice.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had never thought that her relationship with the Qiu family would reach this state.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng could tell that her grandfather was waiting for her to admit her mistake and return to the Qiu family to apologize and compromise.

After all, to both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Master Qiu, blood was thicker than water and you couldn't change the fact that they were related.

But everyone had pride too.

Qiu Mu-Cheng suffered so much injustice while she was in the Qiu family. Her proud personality would never give in to them.

And on top of that, Qiu Mu-Cheng was going to make sure she produced good results so that she could make the Qius regret what they did to her, and to let Master Qiu come to realize that the Qius were in the wrong in the first place, and not her.

After breakfast, Qiu Mu-Cheng went to work.

The opening ceremony was round the corner, so as the CEO, Qiu Mu-Cheng had a lot of things to handle.

The most important thing right now was to send all the invitations out.

At the Qiu house.

After Qiu Mu-Ying screwed up at the art exhibition and angered Wang Xing-Duo, there was no news about the approval for Qiushui Real Estate.

Master Qiu and Qiu Guang tried to contact Wang Xing-Duo and Master Qiu even brought gifts to his house that very night to apologize, but they were not welcome and all their gifts were thrown out by Wang Xing-Duo and his wife.

After all, this family embarrassed him again and again - first they gave his wife a jade hairpin that was stolen, then passed him a fake painting to display at an art exhibition. Wang Xing-Duo had become a laughingstock and his reputation was in tatters, so of course he was furious.

He even wondered if the Qius did this on purpose.

Given this situation, there was no way for Qiushui Real Estate to open. Master Qiu had no choice but to put this project aside for the time being and think of another way to get the approval after Wang Xing- Duo stopped being angry.

But this potential delay also meant that a lot of money would be wasted.

And so the staff who were hired for this company were also dismissed.

The Qius had paid quite a high price for this setback.

If they weren't able to accumulate quite a bit of reserves because of their deal with Hongqi Group, this setback might have bankrupted the Qiu family.

So because of this matter, Master Qiu was feeling very dejected.

He thought that his plans were about to succeed, but Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband had screwed everything up and Master Qiu nearly died from having a fit. That night, Master Qiu removed Qiu Mu-Ying from all her official duties in the company and didn't let her take charge of the deal with Hongqi Group anymore.

That was how angry he was.

But this removal of Qiu Mu-Ying from the company didn't last for very long.

Three days later, Qiu Guang got Qiu Mu-Ying back to continue being in charge of the deal with Hongqi Group.

They didn't have a choice either. The project manager on Hongqi Group's side was Chu Wen-Fei's uncle, and after they found out that Qiu Mu-Ying had been dismissed, they told the Qius that they would only speak to Qiu Mu-Ying and no one else. If they didn't put Qiu Mu-Ying back on the project, Hongqi Group would withdraw their investment and call the deal off.

Hongqi Group's stand on this matter frightened the Qiu family badly. Almost all their businesses relied on this deal with Hongqi Group, so they treated Hongqi Group with utmost importance and got Qiu Mu- Ying back on the project.

On top of that, Qiu Mu-Ying was excellent at coaxing others. She apologized and offered gifts to Master Qiu and made sure that she humbled herself as much as possible to appease Master Qiu.

Under such circumstances, Master Qiu didn't punish Qiu Mu-Ying further and just let her resume her duties in the company.

And right now, Master Qiu was sitting in the courtyard of his own house and enjoying his tea.

When Qiu Ming's wife, Jiang Hong, saw this, she consoled him, "Master Qiu, are you still thinking about Qiushui Real Estate?"

"What's past is past, don't think about it anymore. Real estate is something that requires a large capital and a powerful background, so a small family like ours will find it difficult to start one. And that Qiu Mu- Cheng didn't manage to either, didn't she? Yingying told me that it was that country bumpkin Ye Fan who exposed that painting as a fake. So I'm quite sure that Manager Wang also hates Ye Fan's family to the core and Qiu Mu-Cheng's company can forget about getting their approval too."

"So actually you can't really blame Yingying for this. This entire thing was Ye Fan's fault. If not for him, Yingying's painting wouldn't have been exposed and Manager Wang wouldn't be so angry with us. I even suspect that Qiu Mu-Cheng is behind all of this. Since she couldn't get her company going, she wanted to make sure we failed too. This horrible woman is so wicked! When she wants to be vicious, she doesn't even care that we're related!" Jiang Hong continued to put Qiu Mu-Cheng down.

The more she talked, the angrier Master Qiu became. "Enough, stop it now. Nobody would call you a mute if you don't say anything."

But just as he said these words, someone sent an invitation to the house.

Master Qiu and Jiang Hong was surprised when they saw the invitation card.

"November 11th, Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony? Is that...Qiu Mu-Cheng's real estate company?"

Jiang Hong's eyes widened and Master Qiu's face trembled.

"How...how can this be? Did she get that approval? But how could she have gotten it? Is that Wang Xing-Duo an idiot? Ye Fan embarrassed him so badly and he still approved their company?!" Jiang Hong ranted on and on and was still in disbelief.

Master Qiu stood next to her and his expression was even nastier.

His Qiushui Real Estate had gone down the drain while Qiu Mu-Cheng's Mufan Real Estate had been setup successfully. This invitation card was like a slap in the Qiu family's face.

There was no way Master Qiu would be happy about this.

Master Qiu's face was all red from anger and he scoffed fiercely as he flung the invitation onto the floor and stormed out.

That very night, Master Qiu called his family together to hold a family meeting.

When they saw how angry Master Qiu looked, they all wondered who offended him this time.
