Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Yu Zhi asked the doctor to place a small bed next to the old lady's bed so that both the grandmother and the granddaughter could live in the same room.

After all, it is not reassuring to always leave the child to someone else to take care of. Although female classmates are very capable, they always have their own things to do. If one person is not able to take care of the child, it may lead to a disaster.

Moreover, Yu Zhi and Cheng Man are two men after all. They are not so careful when facing many things, and they also need to avoid suspicion due to the difference in gender.

So the best way is to keep the little girl in the hospital. There are many nurses here to help take care of her, and the little girl doesn’t have to be separated from her grandmother, so she will feel much more at ease.

After arranging all this, Yu Zhi and Cheng Man turned around and returned to school.

Yu Zhi was busy working on his sculpture here, while Meng Yingnian was also in a state of panic on the other side.

Mr. Wang's company maliciously lowered its prices, snatching up a lot of orders recently. Many of Meng Yingnian's long-time clients were abandoning their businesses, after all, seeing the lucrative profits, everyone wanted to take advantage.

The PR department had asked Meng Yingnian if he wanted to start a price war with them, but judging by the current situation, the price Meng had set was the lowest in the industry, with no profit at all. If they wanted to engage in this price war, they would lose a lot of money.

Meng Yingnian could understand Mr. Wang's approach. After all, seizing the market and gaining the upper hand was the top priority in the business world. However, such an approach could not last long. If the quality of the product could not be guaranteed, these investors would still defect.

Meng Yingnian didn't think that someone who could make things happen in the southern enterprises would be unaware of this truth.

But now he couldn't figure out what backup plan Mr. Wang had.

"Mr. Meng, it's time for Miss Xu to have dinner with you."

Chen Xun had been working day and night for a long time, and he looked exhausted. He had huge dark bags under his eyes, and he didn't look like a workplace elite at all.

"Go back and rest today, and come back to work the day after tomorrow. Take your time. There's no rush for things right now. Even if we look at a lot of options, we can't handle it properly."

Meng Yingnian knew that everyone's physical strength was limited. He felt that his body was a little overwhelmed by the non-stop work he had been doing during this period, but he was the president of the company after all, and he had to control all operations.

Chen Xun is his right-hand man. If he collapses from exhaustion, there is really no one who can replace him.

"Okay, Mr. Meng, but don't you want me to accompany you to the dinner tonight?"

Meng Yingnian shook his head. Although he didn't know what Xu Hanyuan wanted to do, since he wanted to negotiate, he probably didn't have any bad intentions.

Moreover, he was quite familiar with Xu Hanyuan. He was a favored child in school. After all, he was born in a big family like the Xu family. He learned a lot from childhood. He was decisive and ruthless in the business world, but he was not insidious. He was a trustworthy person in the business world.

The main reason was that Meng Yingnian didn't know what Xu Hanyuan and Mr. Wang had discussed last time. If the two parties had truly reached an agreement to jointly deal with the Meng family, then Xu Hanyuan wouldn't have needed to invite him to dinner at this time. If the negotiations between the two broke down, then the Xu family would be his best partner.

The restaurant Xu Hanyuan had booked was the recently popular "Castle in the Sky." This restaurant was built halfway up a mountain, offering a commanding view of the entire city at night, a scene that looked captivating under the flickering neon lights. Furthermore, the ceiling of the restaurant was made of a special material, allowing one to gaze up at the boundless starry sky.

This was Meng Qingnian's first time here. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, he thought to himself that when Yu Zhi had time, he must bring him here to see it. It would be such a romantic thing to have a candlelight dinner in such a scene.

Following the servant's steps to the private room, Xu Hanyuan was already sitting there waiting.

She looked a little different today from the capable female CEO she usually was. She was wearing a white long dress, her hair was softly draped down, her makeup was done in a very feminine way, and a smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth.

"It's really not easy to invite our President Meng to dinner. I've invited him several times before he finally did me the honor of attending."

Xu Hanyuan looked at Meng Yingnian in front of him, his eyes flashing with infatuation. This man was always so noble and arrogant, and he could capture people's hearts at a glance.

Today she invited Meng Yingnian to dinner, first of all she wanted to show him a side of herself that was different from usual, so that he could discover his own uniqueness. This sense of contrast was the most charming.

In addition, Xu Hanyuan and President Wang had already discussed a plan to deal with the Meng family. If Meng Yingnian had been more sensible, he would have turned against them and cooperated with the Meng family to completely kick President Wang out of the ranks of the wealthy families in Beijing.

But if Meng Yingnian doesn't know what's good for him, Xu Hanyuan doesn't mind making him suffer a little.

"How can I compare to Miss Xu who has such great connections and can invite anyone she wants to dinner?"

Every word Meng Yingnian said was full of wisdom. To him, such an occasion, no matter how warmly it was decorated, was still a battlefield.

They had never been good friends who drank and chatted together, but rivals who fought each other on the battlefield. Being able to sit at the same table and eat was already a great honor for her.

"It seems like we haven't sat down and talked face to face like this for ages since we graduated from college. I still remember when we were working on that project together, we argued until our faces were red and neither of us would give in."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Xu Hanyuan's eyes.

That was probably the time when she had the most contact with Meng Yingnian in her life, and also the time when she was closest to him.

That period of time has always lingered in her memory. At that time, she did not notice any shining points of Meng Yingnian, but she always heard other wealthy ladies talking about him, but she herself did not feel any waves in her heart.

However, as they interacted, Xu Hanyuan gradually fell in love with Meng Yingnian. The more he interacted with him, the more he discovered his hidden charm. He was gentle and thoughtful, and treated everyone with warmth. He never disrespected others just because he held power. In particular, he was in awe of hardship and always kept his feet on the ground.

So until now Xu Hanyuan still can't let go, and even goes to great lengths to get him.

"After all, I was young and ignorant at that time. I wanted to do everything according to my own ideas. I always wanted to take the path that I thought was best, but I never chose the right one."

Meng Yingnian smiled slightly, his words were suggestive.

From the moment he entered, he noticed Xu Hanyuan's subtle attitude. He must be trying to decide between the Meng family and Mr. Wang. But one can never have it both ways. From the current perspective, Mr. Wang's path is indeed better, but in the long run, the Meng family still has a greater chance of winning.

"What about Mr. Meng? When making a choice, will you also choose the right path instead of the one you think is best?"

Xu Hanyuan's question left Meng Yingnian stunned.

"Miss Xu, I don't understand what you mean."

"That fiancée Mr. Meng found doesn't have any support from her family, right? I heard her family went bankrupt a long time ago. Was Mr. Meng's choice really right to marry such a burden?"

Meng Yingnian didn't expect Xu Hanyuan to suddenly mention Yu Zhi. Not to mention that Yu Zhi's maternal grandfather's family was the Wilson family, a century-old aristocratic family in Europe. Even if it wasn't, Meng Yingnian never thought that Yu Zhi's identity was anything special.

From the moment he met Yu Zhi, Meng Yingnian's heart had fallen for him.

Meng Yingnian didn't care about Yu Zhi's identity, background, or education. He loved him purely as a person, and he could tolerate all his flaws and shortcomings.

"Ms. Xu, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. Marriage is different from business. In business, you have to choose the right path, otherwise you'll be doomed. But marriage is different. Marriage is love, and love has no reason."

Meng Yingnian suddenly felt that the dinner he attended was a Hongmen Banquet. He had misjudged Xu Hanyuan's thoughts.

I originally thought this was just a business matter, but I didn't expect it would involve his personal feelings.

"But for a family like ours, marriage is also part of the business world. Having a good and virtuous wife can help us weather many difficulties and troubles, especially the situation the Meng family is facing right now."

Xu Hanyuan is quite confident in her heart. She doesn't think she is any worse than Yu Zhi. Moreover, facing the current situation, only the Xu family can save the Meng family.

"If I need to sell myself out in exchange for the company's future development, then is it really necessary for me to be favored by Miss Xu?"

Meng Yingnian almost said it out loud, he didn't care about Xu Hanyuan's face at all now.

No matter how they fight in the business world, or what kind of conflicts they have with him personally, this fire must not burn Yu Zhi.

Xu Hanyuan's words and actions were meant to belittle Yu Zhi, which made Meng Yingnian very angry. His Yu Zhi was the best in the world. How could such a clean and pure person be humiliated?

Xu Hanyuan guessed Meng Yingnian's attitude and what he said.

Indeed, what she liked was the strength in Meng Yingnian's bones. If she could easily threaten him successfully, she would also feel that this man was not difficult to challenge.

"Brother Meng, I was indeed discussing bargaining chips with you just now. After all, only family marriage is the most stable relationship. Even if we cooperate now, you can turn around and stab me in the back."

These words put things back on track.

Meng Yingnian was afraid that Xu Hanyuan was a love-brained person who would do anything to achieve his goals, even using the entire Xu family as a bargaining chip.

Fortunately, they have all received elite education and will not put love before the interests of the company.

"I did meet with Mr. Wang a while ago. He's very ambitious about the Beijing market. As you know, our Xu family mainly deals in beauty and pharmaceutical products. Our branding is very obvious, so it won't be easy for him to seize our market share."

"But the Meng family's businesses, such as the real estate and design industries, are all big fat pieces of meat, and they're so juicy they're just a bite away."

Xu Hanyuan's analysis was correct; Meng Yingnian had considered all of this. And judging by recent developments, Mr. Wang was primarily seizing market share in these areas.

"To be honest, our Xu family has been coveting these modules for a long time, but we just haven't had the professional talent to compete with the Meng family. Now that President Wang has recruited many high-ranking executives from companies in the Southern Group, it's only a matter of time before we can compete with the Meng family."

It turns out that this is the reason why Mr. Wang is so confident. No wonder he is actively recruiting customers now.

"His goal now is to squeeze the Meng family out, so even if he doesn't want to make a profit, he will squeeze your space."

From Xu Hanyuan's few short sentences, Meng Yingnian had already figured out everything.

Mr. Wang's main goal now is to snatch the orders from Meng Yingnian. Although he won't make money, he can make Meng Jia's family lose a large amount of capital inflow.

In addition, he also cooperated with several other aristocratic families to maintain financial stability. Over time, the Meng family might be dragged down by them.

At this point, they could raise their prices and replace the Meng family as the leading enterprise. Without competition, no matter how high the price went, those competitors would just accept the loss. This way, they could both recoup their capital and seize market share.
