Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu remained silent. It was already quite obvious that it was either Su Meng or Han Chunming. One of them had been exposed. Based on the overall analysis, Su Meng was more likely to be the culprit!
Based on their personalities, Su Meng is impulsive and might not be able to resist Chen Jianjun, while Han Chunming is relatively more rational. After all these years, I think I know Han Chunming quite well.

In retrospect, it seems highly likely that Chen Jianjun knew the reason for the previous batch of goods. However, due to the influence of news from Hong Kong, he made a wrong prediction and believed that Su Meng's uncle had indeed made money from that batch of goods, and that was all.

Therefore, it's good news that Chen Jianjun wants to bypass Li Huaide and cooperate directly with Su Meng's uncle. However, we need to keep Chen Jianjun calm for now to prevent him from informing Li Huaide!
"What we can be sure of now is that someone leaked the information, most likely Su Meng. To prevent the other party from becoming suspicious, we need to reach a cooperation agreement with Chen Jianjun after we get back to keep this guy calm for now, at least to maintain the transaction at its conclusion. We can't afford any mistakes this time, or you know the consequences!"

He Yuzhu looked at Su Meng's uncle expressionlessly, his words carrying a strong warning. Su Meng's uncle repeatedly assured him that He Yuzhu held an extraordinary position in the capital, and that Uncle Guan and the Broken-Rot Marquis were no simple men either. If anything else happened, he would likely be excluded by these people, making it even more difficult for him to achieve anything in the future!
"Mr. He, please rest assured, I know what's important!"

"Very good, go back. There are some things you don't need to tell Su Meng. This girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and her family is used to revolving around her. She always thinks she is the leading lady and that everyone should revolve around her. This is unacceptable, otherwise, it will cause a disaster sooner or later!"

If it weren't for needing the cooperation of these two, He Yuzhu wouldn't even bother with it. Who would want things to go smoothly but then get thwarted?
Taking down counterfeits was Guan Da's obsession. Since he had promised, he naturally had to do it. He was entrusted with a task and had to be loyal to it. Unfortunately, he encountered two incompetent teammates, which caused the originally smooth plan to change.

However, once the plan has begun, it cannot be easily ended, much less replaced halfway through. Otherwise, He Yuzhu really wants to kick this fatso out!
"Yes, Mr. He, I will be careful. Please rest, I'll head back now!"

Su Meng's uncle was in a bad mood. He thought that by cooperating with He Yuzhu this time, he could get in touch with him and make his business in Beijing go more smoothly in the future. But what a mess this is!

Actually, he knew that Su Meng was more likely. His niece was arrogant, but he just happened to like her unruly nature, which was why he had the idea of ​​leaving Hong Kong Island and returning to Beijing to develop his career. Now it seemed that this flaw was indeed quite big. Oh well, he would go back and ask her first!
"Uncle, you were looking for me?"

Although Su Meng didn't think she was wrong, she couldn't help but feel guilty when she saw her uncle's furrowed brows, and she even put on a flattering look!

"Mengmeng, I heard that your parents have agreed to let you marry Chen Jianjun?"

Su Meng's uncle sighed inwardly. Although he was very angry, seeing his niece's ingratiating smile, for some reason, his anger subsided a lot!

"How could that be? Uncle, why are you talking nonsense?"

Seeing that her uncle didn't ask anything else, Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled disdainfully, and sat down on the sofa!
"What Chen Jianjun said, Mengmeng, is it true or not? My niece can't marry a liar. Your parents didn't agree, did they? My older sister shouldn't be so shallow!"

Su Meng's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. Chen Jianjun said that? Chen Jianjun came to see her uncle? Could it be that her uncle already knew about what she had let slip? This is terrible!

"No, Chen Jianjun's parents didn't come. My dad said that there was such a thing, but I can decide my own marriage. My parents have always followed my lead on this point!" Su Meng herself didn't realize that she had already sat up straight, looking just like a well-behaved girl!
Su Meng's uncle sighed. Looking at his niece now, he knew perfectly well who had leaked the information, but what could he do now that things had come to this?

“Mengmeng, you're a college student, you know more about big principles than I do, but why are you so unreliable at crucial moments? The key to our cooperation with He Yuzhu is to get on this bandwagon, but how could you be so impulsive? Even if you want to cause trouble for Chen Jianjun, that's something to do after the plan is completed!”

All alone, all hope rests on Su Meng. There are some things that must be said, and some issues that must be clarified. Otherwise, given her niece's personality, she might realize it but not care.

If you're just a clerk, it's not a big deal, but if you're going to be an official or do business, this kind of personality is a major taboo. You'll be easily taken advantage of, and the consequences could be disastrous!
"Uncle, I'm just so angry. Anyway, only we know about this, so let's just proceed with the plan as usual. By the way, Uncle, did Chen Jianjun come to see you?"

Su Meng was now certain that her uncle did know. However, her uncle had always doted on her, so he probably wouldn't blame her, right?

"Mengmeng, the key thing now is that He Yuzhu knows about our plan. Now, our standing in He Yuzhu's eyes has been greatly diminished, and we won't be able to achieve our goals!"

Su Meng's uncle was speechless. Even now, she still hadn't realized her mistake. Mengmeng had always been smart, but her arrogance and sense of entitlement had blinded her...

"What? How did He Yuzhu know? Uncle, you didn't tell him, did you?"

Su Meng stood up abruptly. Her uncle's first investment was secured: a restaurant. With He Yuzhu's help, opening a restaurant in Beijing would definitely be different. But now…

Su Meng still hasn't realized the problem; her first thought is about the business she's preparing to do!
"I told He Yuzhu what Chen Jianjun knew, and he immediately determined that it was you or Han Chunming who leaked the information. Based on a comprehensive personality analysis, He Yuzhu has already determined that it was you."
"Mengmeng, it's not that your uncle is scolding you, but you really didn't think things through. Our fishing trip is about to begin, and at this crucial moment, couldn't you just hold back a little?"

"It's not my fault. When I got back to the compound and saw Chen Jianjun, I was so angry that I couldn't hold back. Uncle, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Fortunately, Chen Jianjun had other needs and didn't tell Li Huaide, otherwise our fishing plan would have failed. For now, we can only keep Chen Jianjun calm and wait until this transaction is over."

If I'm not mistaken, Li Huaide will be coming to our door soon. At this juncture, we absolutely cannot anger or provoke Chen Jianjun; otherwise, not only will we lose over two hundred thousand yuan without gaining anything, but we might also offend He Yuzhu!

This was Su Meng's uncle's true purpose: as long as He Yuzhu's plan was completed, even if the losses couldn't be recovered, they would still gain goodwill, making things much easier in the future! (End of Chapter)
