Chapter 41 — Cooperation Issues
Su Yanmo’s call surprised Qin Jiran, and the reason for the call only surprised him more.
“… we’ve been working on this project for a long time, so there shouldn’t be any problems with it. If you’re interested, you can come to the company tomorrow and sign the contract,” Su Yanmo said straightforwardly. He didn’t try to beat around the bush; after all, Qin Jiran was family now.
The “project” referred to the development of a tourist resort. Father Su was in charge of the Su family’s intelligence organization, but his assumed business was in the hospitality field.
Although Su Yanmo played a very small role in the project, he held enough authority to offer his brother-in-law a part in it.
Qin Jiran knew about this project; in fact, everyone in City A knew about it, and plenty of them wanted to partake in it. Unfortunately for them, the Su family had no lack of money or connections, which meant they had no need for business partners.
Getting an offer for the project was completely out of his expectations. He felt indecisive. Obviously, he didn’t want to pass up on this huge opportunity, especially when it was Su Yanmo who took the initiative. It would be tactless to reject, but if he accepted so easily, wouldn’t that make him look bad too?
But why was the Su family makinghave quite a few reliable people by her side.
Qin Jiran laughed. He felt like recently, every day was New Years Day. Every day, there was a gift and a surprise. He was getting along better with Su Yanyi, and she was treating him well. As a matter of fact, she was treating him so well that he almost couldn’t believe it.
“Yanyi, would you really not mind if I joined the Su family business? Our relationship… the way things stand… would it be appropriate?” Although he wanted to, he was hesitant.
“Our relationship? How do things stand? Why wouldn’t it be appropriate?” As she shot out those questions in succession, she looked at him with evident surprise and a trace of discontentment. She didn’t understand why he would ask her that. What was inappropriate about family members doing business together?
They stared at each other. Facing Su Yanyi’s disbelief, Qin Jiran didn’t know how to respond. Like her, he was confused about why she asked him those questions. Wasn’t their marriage just a contractual marriage?
Since it was a contractual marriage, shouldn’t he stay out of the Su family’s business affairs? Su Yanyi definitely knew this too, so why was she handling it this way?
Qin Jiran was confused. Su Yanyi was discontented. They were unable to get anywhere because one of them didn’t know how to start, and the other was completely oblivious.
