Chapter 7 Tianmen Building

"Congratulations, You have completed the family test. I'm confident that you are able to make great achievements in the future." A pudgy old man said.

He was the person in charge of the Tianmen Building. He was only about 1.6 meters tall. His features are too close. When he smiles, he squints. Then his face squeezes together in his face, which was funny. Victor called him Uncle Ding.

"What the family needs is a calm young leader. Since you've passed the test, you'll be able to freely use the Chu family's power in Yunhai City to achieve your ambitions in the future.” said he.

"The Chen family is truly outrageous. They reneged on the three-year contract and broke off the engagement early. It’s time to punish them." Uncle Ding continued

"Three years ago, in order to disguise your identity and send you to the Chen family, we sent an old man to the Chen family to request them to take you in. In order to achieve our goal, we also promised the Pearl Group to form a partnership with the Chen family. Only then did the Chen family agree to take you in and agreed to a so-called three-year engagement. The Chen family gets countless profits through the Pearl Group in those three years, but now they seem to have forgotten who their company relied on."

After Ding finished speaking, he snorted coldly.

"When I return to the company, I'll immediately break off my cooperation with the Chen family." A middle-aged executive said with a sneer. He was Fu Cai, the general manager of the Pearl Group.

Tianmen Building was the gathering center of the Chu family's industry in Yunhai City with numerous companies. The Pearl Group was one of them.

Almost all the people Victor saw here were the executives and CEOs of the various groups. These were all the heads of their Chu family's industry in Yunhai City.

Victor sat silently as he listened to their conversation.

Actually, the asset takeover meeting was Uncle Ding's way of getting the managers to know Victor.

After an hour, the meeting ended. Victor declined Uncle Ding's offer of a ride home, taking the taxi back to the Chen family.

Thinking that tomorrow was Monday, Victor felt a little restless. He had to go back to the dorm again. Although he was already a senior and was considered one of the graduates, the school's classes were still in session, and no student was allowed to leave school, nor could they live off-campus unless they were about to take the graduate exams. And they also needed to get approval from the school before they could live off-campus.

That was why Victor would have to return to his dormitory on Saturdays and Sundays.

College was a small society. His story at Chen family had already reached the school. He was also a celebrity at school, but with a bad reputation.

After all, there were few people like Victor who were engaged with others before they graduated, and he was also a live-in son-in-law. People were always laughing at him behind his back because of it, so he had to pretend he didn't hear their taunts and walk away.

He was glad that in a few months he would graduate and never have to hear these gossips.

"Victor, you stop." Daisy shouted.

Daisy's family came in the distance angrily.

They were obviously coming over from the Chen family

"What’s up?" Victor asked coldly.

He knew that these people must come to scold him again. What he had said in the banquet earlier had offended these people, although he had vented his anger. He knew Daisy would definitely get back at him and pick on him.

"When have you become so sharp-tongued?" Daisy said sarcastically.

"Who taught you to say those things?" Daisy smirked as she walked towards Victor, Dinah gave Victor a wink, but Victor knew that he still had to talk to her about it.

But before Victor could say anything, Daisy laughed, "But I don't want to argue with you today. I'm now in charge of the Chen family's project with the Pearl Group. I'll be a tycoon worth millions."

"You are not allowed to harass Daisy from now on. You used to be able to daydream about marrying her, but now you’d better stay away from her." Daisy's mother, Yulan Bai, said contemptuously.

After that they bypassed Victor and went into their house. Only Dinah remained behind.

"Victor, don't mess with my sister again. She was chosen by grandma to head the project. She may be very powerful later. You’d better not offend her." Dinah lowered her voice.

"Don't worry about me. You just go back. If they see you talking to me, they'll yell at you again." Victor said with a smile.

"You take care of yourself. I'm leaving." Dinah waved her hands as she ran.

When they leave, Victor was surprised the Chen family made Daisy the project leader. Is this compensation for her? Had she suffered in the last three years? Even if she had, she took all of her anger out on Victor. And it was Victor and Diana who were humiliated and treated unfairly.

........

"Cooperation is over? Why? We've been working together for three years, so why did they suddenly end the partnership?"

At the Chen family's old house, the old lady’s face was darkened. She squeezed the phone tightly, her eyes wide with rage.

"No reasons. Does your Chen family think it has the power to compete with our Pearl Group? Remember to be kind to others." Over the phone, a man snorted.

Hanging up the phone, the old lady was so angry that she was shaking with anger.

"You go tell Daisy that Pearl Group has ended its cooperation with our company. She doesn’t need to be in charge of this project." The old lady said.

The Daisy's had just opened a bottle of Lafite wine worth five or six thousand dollars at the moment. The three of them were sitting together, drinking and talking happily.

"Dinah, we know you help Victor secretly. You’re our daughter and we love you. But you should stay away from Victor. Your future is not better than your sister's, but you can definitely marry into a wealthy family."

"Victor is already unfortunate, why are you doing this to him." Dinah whispered.

"You'd better not mention his name again." Daisy's sudden seriousness startled Dinah.

Just then there was a fierce knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Yulan Bai got up to open the door.

"Mr. Zhang? Have you eaten? Would you like a glass of wine?" Seeing that the visitor was the old lady’s subordinate, Daisy's father, Shouguo Chen, smiled and greeted him.

"No, thank you." Mr. Zhang was a little awkwardly, "I came over to pass on a message for the old lady."

"Wouldn't it be nice if you had something to say by calling over? You don’t need to come over to tell us personally." Shouguo stood up and greeted him towards the door of the room.

"You can come in for a drink first and tell us slowly." Yulan Bai said enthusiastically.

"It’s..... the old lady said that Daisy doesn’t have to be in charge of the project." Mr. Zhang said.

Daisy's wine glass suddenly dropped to the floor before it reached her mouth. The glass 'popped' and shattered into pieces.

"What?"

"Why? That's impossible, she promised me." Daisy questioned harshly.

"It wasn't the old lady who didn’t want you to be in charge of the project. It was the Pearl Group that ended the cooperation with Chen family, so..." explained Mr. Zhang.

"Pearl Group ended... the cooperation..."

Saying these words seemed to use all of Daisy's strength. She sat on the bench sadly.

There was no way Chen family can compete with the Pearl Group. It was a star enterprise in the Jing'an District of Yunhai City.

Looking at their disappointed expression, Mr. Zhang sighed and left.

The more one expects, the more disappointed one will be. It hadn't even been two hours since Daisy had become the project leader, and she hadn't even earned a dime before she was removed from her position.

"Sis, you'll get another chance later. Don't feel bad." Dinah came over to comfort her.

However, the angry Daisy slapped her across the face.

"Get out. Leave me alone. It's all because you help Victor. You’re the one who brings bad luck into our home." said Daisy.

Yulan Bai sat on the sofa without uttering a word, while Shouguo Chen was smoking in the doorway.

Dinah was blindsided by the slap. She stood in front of Daisy, biting her lip, her eyes red.

"Get out of here now. I don’t want to see you." Daisy kicked her in the stomach.

Dinah felt excruciating pain, and then she got up from the ground and ran out.

Downstairs, Victor happened to see this scene. His heart sank instantly.
