Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

To be precise, Madam Cai's gaze towards Qiu Yue was strange; she seemed confused yet excited, especially after hearing Young Master Huo's introduction. It was incomprehensible!
"Mr. Cai, have you heard of the He Group?"

Young Master Huo sensed the awkward atmosphere and immediately started a conversation. Since He Yuzhu wanted Cai Geming to join the company, he should naturally give a detailed introduction to the strength of the He Group before discussing the joining. He didn't want people to think that the He Group was just an unknown small company!
"China's first large-scale private enterprise, which has grown into a star enterprise with a scale of over 10 billion RMB in just ten years. Although Mr. Cai is in Taiwan, he pays close attention to everything in China and naturally knows some things about it!"

Cai Geming still hadn't figured out the purpose of He Yuzhu and Young Master Huo's invitation to dinner. But why did this CEO Cai seem so familiar? Cai Qiuyue? The same name as his daughter? Heh... what a coincidence!
"Mr. Cai, Mr. He has obtained a public license from Shenzhou Communications and is preparing to officially launch a communication network based on pagers in Shenzhou, which is why we are meeting today!"

"You are an expert in this field. Mr. He would like to invite you to head He's Communications Company in Shenzhou, with a reward of 10% of the shares!"

Young Master Huo realized there wasn't much point in talking. The two weren't familiar with each other, only having dealt with each other a few times in Huo family business. After thinking it over, he decided to get straight to the point!

Anyway, He Yuzhu was generous enough to give up 7% of the shares, and he would give up 3% of the shares in return. Even the elite management of John Bull might not be able to refuse such a deal. If He Yuzhu didn't distrust foreigners, why would he go through all this trouble?

"Hehe... I appreciate Mr. He and Mr. Huo's sincerity, but I still cannot agree. I apologize to both of you!"

Cai Geming refused without even thinking about it. It wasn't that he didn't want to agree or return to China, but rather that he had his own unavoidable difficulties!
"Mr. Cai, please feel free to make any requests. Mr. Huo and I are good friends, and I trust Mr. Huo's judgment. Our He's Communications is just starting out, and we really need an industry expert like you to join us!"

He Yuzhu had been observing Cai Geming and his wife. Despite being fifty-eight years old, they were still full of energy. Such experienced people were hard to come by!
"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I really can't agree to that. I'm afraid I can't be of any help with this matter. I apologize to both of you!"

He Yuzhu frowned. He rejected such generous terms. Even if he were offered terms, he would still refuse. Could it be that this person is the kind of person that Taiwan looks down on?

If that's the case, I'm afraid we really can't hire him. Otherwise, it might cause irreparable consequences later, and then we'd have nowhere to turn for help. He's not going to make a mistake on matters of principle for the sake of a little profit; that's his bottom line!

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Cai. Goodbye!"

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu decisively got up to say goodbye. If it was really as he guessed, then they definitely couldn't have any relationship, not even sitting at the same table!
"Qiuyue, Xiaoqian, Chen Xueru, let's go!"

After finishing his sentence, He Yuzhu turned and left. His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had encountered something unclean and was fleeing!

"Mr. He..."

Madam Cai was caught off guard when He Yuzhu suddenly left. She hadn't even had a chance to talk to Cai Qiuyue and the others. Why did the talks break down so quickly? Even if they broke down, there was no need for him to leave in such a hurry.
Unfortunately, He Yuzhu guessed they were all delusional people, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and left without looking back. Cai Qiuyue and the other two naturally followed He Yuzhu's lead and were even less likely to stay. They came and went in a hurry and disappeared in no time!

"What's wrong with you? Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. How could you provoke Mr. He like he's encountered a plague god?" Madam Cai looked at the dumbfounded Cai Geming with annoyance. A perfectly good meeting had turned into this. When will this man ever show any manners?

"I don't know either, I just refused. Mr. He, why... Mr. Huo, do you know what's going on?"

Cai Geming was also completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why He Yuzhu reacted this way. Logically speaking, given the size of the He family, it shouldn't be like this, right? It was just a refusal; it shouldn't be such a big deal.

"Hehe...I don't know what Mr. He is thinking about. Perhaps he has important matters to attend to? Let's eat!"

Young Master Huo was also quite embarrassed, after all, it was the dinner party he organized, but He Yuzhu seemed to be in big trouble if he was a little slow, which left him completely baffled!

Mrs. Huo seemed to be deep in thought. Chen Xueru came to Hong Kong Island to discuss the custom cheongsam business with her. The cheongsams worn by Chen Xueru and Cai Qiuyue were elegant yet refreshing, which perfectly suited her taste and the aesthetic of Hong Kong Island.

He Yuzhu's invitation was not rejected, so he should have left the couple in a hurry. The problem may lie with Cai Geming, or He Yuzhu may have discovered something!
"Brother Zhu, if it's not going to work out, it's not going to work out. We women were having a nice chat, why did you suddenly leave? You're not a narrow-minded person!"

Cai Qiuyue unconditionally supports He Yuzhu's actions, but today is too abnormal. At least, she has never seen He Yuzhu like this before. The Cai Revolutionary Couple are not plague gods, so why did they leave so quickly?
“Yes, Zhu Zi, recruiting talented people is a matter of mutual consent. Just as a ruler chooses his ministers, a minister also chooses his ruler. Perhaps you two are not meant to be, which is why they refused you. There's no need to leave so quickly, is there? Besides, Mr. and Mrs. Huo are also there. It would be impolite for us to leave like this!”

Chen Xueru rarely spoke in front of Cai Qiuyue, but at this moment she couldn't help herself. He Yuzhu might have his reasons, but no matter what the reason, he shouldn't leave in such a hurry. It would be too impolite!
"Hehe, our telecommunications company offered such good terms, even letting him name his own terms. I was thinking about it, but even so, Cai Geming still refused!"

“I suspect he’s in cahoots with some bad elements in Taiwan. We absolutely cannot associate with people like that. People from Shenzhou must have a bottom line; even if we don’t do business with them, we will not have any dealings with such people!”

He Yuzhu knew that he left in a hurry and that Young Master Huo might be unhappy. However, Young Master Huo's unhappiness could be explained. It was better to avoid people like Cai Geming. It was better to avoid contact with them if possible, or even avoid them altogether!

"Brother Zhu, aren't you overthinking this? What if they're a loyal person? After all, they're a high-ranking member of the Taiwanese Cai family. It's normal for them not to agree, isn't it?"

Cai Qiuyue finally understood what He Yuzhu was thinking. If it was really as her husband thought, then she really shouldn't get involved with him!

But, without any evidence, isn't it a bit reckless? After all, they are guests invited by Young Master Huo! (End of Chapter)
