Chapter 2087 Is He Trustworthy?

Bai Yuanji suddenly asked curiously, "Chairman Xia, why are you so interested in their back mountain?"

Hayato Tsunekawa's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone, "This is not your concern! Remember, although your Bai family is nominally our partner, in reality, we are hiring your Bai family to work for us. Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Bai Yuanji choked, feeling very resentful, but he dared not say anything more. He said with some annoyance, "Yes, Chairman Xia, I spoke too much."

"Also, Wu Cun, you need to hurry up and talk to them!" Hengchuan Hayato said in a deep voice. "If they still have that attitude, I will increase the intensity of their response."

Bai Zheteng respectfully replied, "Okay, we'll go talk right away."

After saying that, he and Bai Yuanji got up, left the room, got into the car, and returned to the capital.

As soon as they left, a well-mannered and clean-cut young man wearing glasses and a shrewd and capable-looking middle-aged man came out from behind the screen and naturally sat down opposite Tsunekawa Hayato.

The woman in the kimono quickly replaced the cups, bowls, and chopsticks, and poured sake for the two of them.

These two men are Tsunekawa Oishi, Tsunekawa Hayato's half-brother, and Tsunekawa Shisan, the thirteenth son of the Tsunekawa family.

They came to China on the orders of Toshihiko Tsunekawa to assist Hayato Tsunekawa in bidding for the Xingyi Industrial Park project.

To be honest, the assistance was a pretense; the real purpose was supervision.

After all, it's a project that requires an investment of trillions, so it's impossible for Toshihiko Tsunekawa to completely trust Hayato Tsunekawa.

Even if we can only win the second or third stage, it will still require an investment of several hundred billion.

"Hayato, these two Chinese men don't seem very capable. Are they trustworthy?"

After sitting down, Hengchuan Shisan asked somewhat hesitantly.

Hayato Tsunekawa calmly drank a glass of wine, ate a bite of food, and then said, "Uncle Thirteen, we can't find a better choice than them! Although they are a bit stupid, they are loyal and can carry out my orders without any compromise."

"At least for now, we should have no problem achieving our goals for the second and third stages."

"Yes, Big Brother said that as long as we can win the second and third stages, we'll consider it a success," Hengchuan Thirteen nodded and said.

Taishi Tsunekawa seemed a little worried and said, "Hayato-kun, are you sure you can take the second and third dan? That's a place our Tsunekawa family has been eyeing for for nearly fifty years. We can't afford to fail this time."

A sharp glint flashed in Hengchuan Hayato's eyes as he said confidently, "Of course I can be sure! Chinese people are greedy. Since that deputy director named Bai Xiaopeng accepted 80 million from us, he will definitely give us these two pieces. There's no need to worry about that."

Hengchuan Shisan said, "Yes, I agree with that. As long as they take the money, they will definitely do their job."

"I'm almost done with preparations on my end, how about you guys?"

Hayato Tsunekawa looked at Daishi Tsunekawa and asked with a hint of doubt.

Taishi Tsunekawa didn't seem to mind and said very humbly, "Don't worry, Hayato-kun, I'm all ready! All the cargo ships are ready to dock at any time, just waiting for your stuff."

Hayato Tsunekawa breathed a sigh of relief, a rare smile appearing on his face. He raised his glass and said, "Alright, let's have a drink to celebrate the success of our operation."

Hengchuan Shisan and Hengchuan Daishi also raised their glasses, and the three of them gently clinked glasses, revealing happy smiles at the same time.

However, behind their smiles, they all seemed to be harboring their own schemes.

…………

After having lunch at Xue's house, Pi Yangyang prepared to return to the company.

"Brother Xue, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

Xue Ziming saw him to the door, and before getting into the car, Pi Yangyang suddenly asked a question.

"About a week. I'll have to head to the base after a week," Xue Ziming replied.

Pi Yangyang hummed in agreement, then suddenly gave a strange smile and said in a low voice, "A week is enough."

Xue Ziming was taken aback. "What do you mean, 'enough'?"

"That's enough for you to sow the seeds of revolution. Do you want to wait for the next time?"

Pi Yangyang said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Xue Ziming blushed and said, "You better remember this: when my son is born, he will recognize you as his godfather."

"No problem, to tell you the truth, Xueqing is pregnant!" Pi Yangyang said happily. "If my sister-in-law gives birth to a daughter, we'll become in-laws."

Xue Ziming said with surprise, "Really? Congratulations!"

But then she paused, somewhat hesitantly, and said, "Do you know for sure that my sister-in-law will give birth to a son? What if it's a daughter and I have a son?"

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile. "Alright, yours is a son and mine is a daughter, so we can become in-laws, okay?"

Xue Ziming immediately nodded happily, "That's great, it's settled then!"

The two high-fived, and Pi Yangyang got into the car and left.

Throughout the journey, Pi Yangyang kept wondering whether Su Xueqing was carrying a son or a daughter.

Although he didn't care, Xue Ziming's words made him suddenly feel that having a daughter would be a loss for him.

Back at the company, he rushed to Su Xueqing's office and stared at her for a long time.

Su Xueqing felt uneasy under his gaze and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Why aren't you in your own office? What are you doing here?"

Pi Yangyang asked, "Xueqing, are you having a son?"

Su Xueqing was taken aback, then chuckled, "What's wrong with you? How can you tell if it's a boy or a girl at such a young age? Besides, hospitals don't do gender testing..."

Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it said that sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl? Have you been craving sour foods lately?"

Su Xueqing said, "Stop joking. I do like sour food lately, but I also like spicy food. If it weren't for Aunt Tian and Aunt Xu insisting on listening to my mom and making some kind of prenatal nutrition meal, I would love to go to the food stalls every day and eat super spicy roasted lamb chops."

As he spoke, he unconsciously smacked his lips, clearly looking quite hungry.

Pi Yangyang's eyes darted around, and he walked over and said, "Come on, let me hear it."

"Listening again? Don't you listen to it every night? Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Su Xueqing said reproachfully.

But she still stood up and let Pi Yangyang put his ear to her stomach.

She subconsciously and gently supported his head, her fingers running through his thick black hair, her eyes slightly closed, enjoying the peace of the moment.

Pi Yangyang listened for a full minute before raising his head.

"What did you hear? Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Su Xueqing rolled her eyes at him and teased him.

Pi Yangyang chuckled, "I can tell from his voice, it must be a boy."

"Get lost! You're so sure? Do you really think you have X-ray vision?" Su Xueqing knew he was talking nonsense.

But then she paused for a moment, puzzled, and asked, "Yangyang, what's wrong with you today?"

Pi Yangyang asked in surprise, "What? What happened?"

"You never usually care about gender, and you even said you only like girls," Su Xueqing said suspiciously. "Why do you suddenly want a boy today?"

Pi Yangyang said, "Xue Ziming is back and insists that we have a girl while he wants a son so that our families can become in-laws... Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we had a daughter?"

Su Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Pi Yangyang, you actually believe this? Can he be sure that Guo Yun will definitely have a son? Are you stupid? Even if she really has a son and we have a daughter, who still practices arranged marriages these days? If the two children get along well, that's great, but if they don't, do you still want to arrange a marriage for them?"

Pi Yangyang gave an awkward smile, scratched his head, and said, "Yeah, I was overthinking it."

He then sighed and said, "If only they were twins, a boy and a girl, a boy and a girl..."

Su Xueqing said, "Twins aren't easy to conceive, let alone twins of opposite sexes. Your expectations are a bit too high!"

Pi Yangyang smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. My fighting ability is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to..."

After saying that, he seemed to think that Su Xueqing was carrying twins, and left satisfied.
