Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 5200-5204
Long Ruoyu fell silent and turned back to her car. She was still unwilling to leave like this.
She sat quietly in the car for a moment, then took out her phone to call her father, but he called her first.
Long Ruoyu quickly answered her father’s call. “Dad, Ye Longting didn’t come back to the company today. I came to his company gate early this morning to wait, but I haven’t seen him. I don’t know where he went again,”
Long Tuo said, his voice filled with exasperation. “He stole our deal and is now talking to President Zhang about cooperation. I talked to President Zhang for so long, and he said he would consider signing a contract with us in the next couple of days.”
“But just now, President Zhang’s secretary called me and said that after considering it, their company still decided to cooperate with Longteng Group. They have a better view of Longteng Group.”
Long Tuo was truly furious. He had talked to President Zhang for so long, spending a lot of money and time on him, fully expecting to win him over and cooperate with his company, but he never expected that Longteng Group would steal the deal.
Mr. Zhang was clearly very interested; if he hadn’t forgotten the contract, they would have signed it on the spot. The fact that they didn’t sign it then caused a change of heart, and Longteng Group snatched it away.
He’s furious. Hearing this, Long Ruoyu’s face darkened. She said, “Didn’t Mr. Zhang agree to cooperate with our company? When did Longteng Group approach him?”
They didn’t know. Long Tuo said, “How would I know when they approached Mr. Zhang? They kept it a secret. It’s possible they only approached him in the last couple of days.” ”
Mr. Zhang is impressed by Longteng Group’s booming success and admires Ye Longting and the Zhou family’s abilities. He said cooperating with Longteng Group would be more beneficial to them, and that our Long Group can’t truly be in charge.
”The words that followed were the most heart-wrenching. They pierced the hearts of three generations of Long Tuo’s family. His father had worked hard for thirty years, only to end up as the acting head of the family.
His father retired, and he took over. Now, his son is also honing his skills at the Long Group, but if his generation cannot become the true head of the family, then his son will remain an acting
head as well. An acting head cannot truly run the Long family, which puts them at a disadvantage when negotiating business deals.
Previously in H City, the Long Group was the largest conglomerate, and countless people wanted to cooperate with them, even if they were just acting heads.
Since Ye Longting appeared out of nowhere and founded the Longteng Group, it gradually stole the limelight from the Long Group, infuriating everyone.
The Longteng Group’s business overlapped with the Long Group’s, making the two companies both potential for mutually beneficial cooperation and fierce rivalry.
Long Tuo had considered suppressing the Longteng Group when it first rose to prominence, but he failed. They had considered peaceful coexistence and even cooperation to make money, but the other party refused.
They would cooperate with their company, but not with the Long Group, and not only that, they often stole business from the Long Group.
Long Tuo had also sent assassins to kill Ye Longting, but Ye Longting always traveled with a group of bodyguards and never showed his true face. Even if they could shake off his bodyguards, Ye Longting could simply disappear into a crowd, remove his mask, and no one would know who he was.
Because none of them had ever seen Ye Longting’s true face.
Moreover, the assassins he sent to kill Ye Longting failed every time. His bodyguards were too powerful, especially the female bodyguard named Chu Jiu, who was practically inhuman.
She could also use poison; the darts she threw always contained poison. The poison wouldn’t kill, but it would make you feel extremely uncomfortable.
Sometimes it was coated with itching powder, making you so itchy that you would scratch your skin raw.Sometimes it’s other poisons. They won’t kill anyone, to avoid leaving evidence for the police.
They’re just some that cause trouble but don’t kill, and the police can’t do anything about Chu Jiu. Besides, the people he sends are assassins, already operating in the shadows. They’re injured by Ye Longting’s bodyguards every time, but they don’t dare call the police. As long as no one dies, it won’t escalate.
Long Tuo has faced Ye Longting face-to-face before. The other man always wears sunglasses and a mask, extremely arrogant, completely disregarding him. What infuriates
Long Tuo the most is that every time he tries to intercept Ye Longting outside to talk, Ye Longting gives him laxatives, making him suffer from diarrhea. It happens every time; he doesn’t know how Ye Longting drugged him.
Now, Long Tuo is afraid to meet Ye Longting, fearing he’ll be drugged again. However, he often can’t even see Ye Longting. That guy is too mysterious, rarely seen, unless waiting at the company entrance. “Mr. Zhang has gone too far!”
Long Ruoyu said. “How could he say such a thing?” In H City, everyone knew that such words couldn’t be said in front of her father and grandfather. They could say it, but others couldn’t say it to their faces; otherwise, her father would be furious.
That was her father’s sore spot. It was her grandfather’s obsession; he always said he didn’t know if he would live to see her father become the true head of the family. Long Ruoyu wanted to help her father realize that wish.
If her father became the true head of the Long family, her status as the Long family’s daughter would rise accordingly. Now she had a position in high society; everyone gave her face and tried their best to flatter and curry favor with her.
But many people are just putting on an act. They say one thing to your face and another behind your back. “They’re cooperating with the Longteng Group, so they’ll be our enemies from now on. Naturally, they won’t hold back. They’ll specifically target me, the one I care about most.”
“Ruoyu, go to the Longteng Hotel now. Ye Longting is definitely there.” After scolding Ye Longting, Long Tuo instructed his daughter to go to the Longteng Hotel, a hotel under the Longteng Group that had surpassed their own Long Group’s grand hotel in just three years, becoming the number one hotel in H City.
Seriously, he couldn’t sleep peacefully until he got rid of Ye Longting and that Zhou guy. Long Ruoyu was silent for a moment, then calmly said, “Dad, it’s useless for me to go now. I can’t stop President Zhang from cooperating with Ye Longting.”
“I know you can’t stop him from signing the contract with President Zhang. I’m telling you to pursue him, get close to him.” “Where he is, go there and wait for him.” “Annoy him to death, bother him to death,” Long Tuo said. “Find an opportunity to take off his mask and see who he is.
I suspect he’s that little guy from back then.” Not only him, but many others suspected it too. If Ye Longting is indeed the child who was taken away by the nanny back then, with his current strength, he could take over the Long Group in no time if he produced the family head’s token.
The old guys in the Long Group probably wouldn’t dare say anything; they might even be overjoyed, saying the Long Group is saved. His family had managed the Long family business for thirty years, only to have it all come to them.
It couldn’t be the child from back then, Long Tuo consoled himself. He felt that if Ye Longting were the child from back then, he had the family head’s token and could return to the Long family at any time, even taking the position of family head.
Whether he could hold onto it was uncertain. But Ye Longting hadn’t produced the token. This meant he might not be Long Ting, just someone with the same name by chance. There were countless people in the world with the same name, let alone two people with the same given name.
“Dad, that child from back then is still alive. If you saw him, would you recognize him? Do you even remember what he looks like? Thirty years have passed; he’ll change too,” Long Ruoyu said. Long Tuo said, “He looks a lot like his father, they’re practically identical.”
“As long as I see him, I’ll recognize him.” When the last true family head died, Long Tuo was already an adult. He had naturally met the family head, and not only had he met him, but he was also very familiar with him.
His father and the family head were cousins from a different branch of the family, within the fifth degree of kinship. Before his father could carry out his conspiracy, the head of the family trusted them greatly.
He and his father had grown up together, and because of this relationship, he frequently visited the head of the family’s mansion. Therefore, he remembered what the head of the family looked like.
He had watched that child grow from birth to one year old, often holding the child, and remembered that the child looked more and more like the head of the family as he grew.
Decades ago, his father went to Dongguan, hoping to meet Long Ting, the adopted son of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, through the nephew of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. Just one meeting with Long Ting would confirm his true identity.
That bitch surnamed Ning was useless; she seduced two bodyguards, softening their hearts, and then, taking advantage of their lax supervision, she absconded with the money.
His father was furious and sent assassins everywhere to find that bitch surnamed Ning.As for the adopted son of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family, her father had never seen him, and even finding information about him was extremely difficult.
He didn’t know where the Jun family had hidden him. This led her father to believe that those protecting Long Ting weren’t just the Jun and Zhan families, but also some mysterious force—a force they truly feared.
In her father’s words, even their Long family’s intelligence department couldn’t find anything, and sometimes they’d even be beaten up without knowing who was behind it. This showed the power of that force.
Long Tuo thought it was the Su family of Dongguan City, but her father said it couldn’t be the Su family because the Su family and the Jun family weren’t close, and besides, Mu Qing didn’t know anyone from the Su family when she found the child.
“Okay, I’ll try. If I can remove his mask, I’ll take a picture and send it to Dad.” Long Ruoyu didn’t really have any hope. But she still wanted to do it. Her family’s task for her was to get close to Ye Longting.
If it was the child from back then, she would kill him; if not, she would become his woman, which would ease the tension between the two companies. Although she had never seen Ye Longting’s true face, Long Ruoyu still admired this man deep down.
She sincerely hoped he wasn’t the child from back then; if he were, she would shamelessly become his woman. She wanted to be the wife of the most outstanding man in the city. She looked down on all the spoiled rich kids who usually surrounded her, but she didn’t reject their advances; she enjoyed being fawned over.
After the father and daughter ended their call, Long Ruoyu put down her phone, then leaned on the steering wheel, her gaze fixed on the 68-story office building in front of her.
Their Long Group’s office building was only 38 stories high, while Longteng Group had built a 68-story building, 30 stories more than theirs. It was the tallest company headquarters in the city. Ye Longting was clearly trying to outdo the Long Group.
After a few minutes of silence, Long Ruoyu straightened up, drove away from Longteng Group.Long Ting was indeed at the Longteng Hotel signing a contract with General Manager Zhang. This deal was snatched from Longtuo by Zhou Yang.
After agreeing with General Manager Zhang, Zhou Yang went back and handed it over to Long Ting, instructing him to come and sign the contract with General Manager Zhang today. Originally, General Manager Zhang had arranged to meet at 11:00 AM for a meal after signing the contract, but he arrived early, bringing everything forward.
Early was good; signing the contract would prevent any unforeseen complications. Longtuo had probably already received the news and was likely rushing to salvage the situation. Too late. After signing the contract, Long Ting stood up and shook hands with General Manager Zhang.
“General Manager Zhang, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” “General Manager Ye, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” General Manager Zhang smiled broadly, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. They had feared that Longteng Group wasn’t truly committed to cooperation; now that the contract was signed, everyone was relieved.
Longteng Group’s momentum had been too strong in recent years. Cooperation with Longteng Group was generally a win-win situation; the CEO of Longteng Group had a very keen eye for investment, and any project he was willing to cooperate on meant that the project had potential.
Otherwise, Ye Longting wouldn’t even give him a second glance. After sitting down again, President Zhang looked at Longting and asked with a tentative smile, “President Ye, could you please show your true face? We’re business partners now, and I don’t even know what President Ye looks like.”
“If we met outside, you wouldn’t even recognize me as President Ye ,” Longting smiled. “President Zhang, I’m sorry, I’m just used to it.”
“I always have bodyguards with me. If we met on the street, President Zhang would recognize me. Even if you don’t know what I look like, you can still recognize my voice, right?””It’s alright if Mr. Zhang doesn’t recognize me. I can recognize you, so it won’t be a disaster,”
Mr. Zhang laughed. Having been refused once, Mr. Zhang wisely didn’t press the matter. In Long Ting’s words, he could still recognize Long Ting’s accent and build. “Then, can I gossip a bit? Why does Mr. Ye always wear a mask?” “Because I’m too handsome. I cover my face to avoid attracting a swarm of admirers,”
Mr. Zhang laughed again. “If Mr. Ye says that, I believe it. Then you must be so handsome that even men’s hearts race and they can’t help but fall for you,” Long Ting laughed. “I am indeed worried about both men and women falling for me. I’m a normal man; I don’t like being bisexual.”
“Hahaha.” Mr. Zhang didn’t really believe him; he took Long Ting’s joke. As for why Ye Long Ting did this, since he didn’t want to reveal the real reason, he wisely didn’t ask further. The two chatted about business for a while, then Long Ting checked the time and said apologetically to President Zhang, “President Zhang, I have to go back to the company for a meeting.”
“Excuse me,” President Zhang said with a smile, “It’s alright, I understand. I also have to rush back; I have a meeting this afternoon.” The two stood up at the same time and shook hands again.
