Chapter 713 Competition
The next day.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, the family drove to the airport.
On their journey there, Claudia Yun and Sky An kept reminding her with the daily necessities and to
take good care of herself.
Renee An was listening to them patiently.
When they reached the airport, only the parents were there to see her off.
After staying there for some time, the driver got all the procedures done. When it was about time for her
to board, the mother's eyes turned red, "Renee, if you can't get used to it over there, just come home
immediately. Got it? No matter what and when, your mother will take care of you!"
Renee An was fine before that. But when the mother started to get emotional, her eyes turned misty as
well, "Mum!" Renee An stretched out her arms and hugged Claudia Yun tightly.
It was true that the person that loves you the most is your own mother.
Renee An hugged Claudia Yun heavy heartedly and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Don't cry, don't cry… You only have to remember, no matter what happens, as long as you want to
come back, your parents will always welcome you with open arms!" Claudia Yun said.
"Okay!" Renee An nodded.
Sky An watched from the side as well. The father had been pampering and showing all his love to the
daughter all her life. Even if they were separated, it would be at most half a month and never longer.
Now that she were to leave for such a long period, the father was just saddened.
"Remember to call home from time to time and tell us about your life!" Sky An said.
Renee An nodded and looked Sky An. She hugged her father, "Dad, when I'm not here, make sure you
take good care of Mum!"
"I most certainly will. Don't worry and just take good care of yourself!"
Renee An nodded.
"Dear passengers, your flight CX 1028 to London is ready to board…" At that time, the announcement
in the airport was heard.
When Renee An heard that, she turned around and looked at them.
"Okay now, go on!" The father said heavy heartedly.
Renee An nodded, "Dad, mom, I shall go now…"
"Okay!"
Renee An pulled her luggage and walked to the security checkpoint in melancholy.
At that time, the woman kept looking around. She didn't know what she was expecting but she just felt
an emptiness from within.
Finally, she didn't see what she wanted and she turned around slowly and walked inside the security
checkpoint…
Half an hour later, the flight took off.
At the same time, Ralphy Xia stood in front of the French window in his company. The man watched as
the airplane took off. His hand in his pocket was gripped into a tight fist…
Renee, I wish you happiness…
The man simply stood quietly in front of the window. Half an hour later and the plane was long gone.
But he kept staring unmovingly at the sky…
At that time, the assistant knocked on his door and went inside, "President Xia, it is time for meeting!"
Ralphy Xia turned back and nodded at him, "Got it!"
The assistant nodded and turned around to leave.
Ralphy Xia composed his mood and took up his documents and went for his meeting.
……
In the meeting room.
All of the directors were participating eagerly. But Ralphy Xia simply sat in the front and looked at them
disinterestedly.
"Hai Run Corp had agreed to work with us initially. But in the end they went to Yun Rui!" One of the
director fumed.
"Yeah, Yun Rui had hijacked so many of our clients in the past!"
The board of directors were discussing the matter furiously.
Ralphy Xia simply sat in front and listened to them. The man had a grim expression.
"President Xia, what do you think we should do now?" And all of the directors looked at Ralphy Xia.
When Ralphy Xia heard that, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. His eyes were flickering and he seemed to
be in deep thought.
"President Xia, shouldn't you give us a solution?"
The directors would always pushed the responsibility to Ralphy Xia.
At that time, he came back to his senses and he looked at them with a sharp gaze.
"A solution? Me?"
"The lot of you did not secure the project, you failed your mission. Was that my fault for yours? You are
failing over and over again, why should I keep you in this company?!" Ralphy Xia roared.
The room was pin drop silent.
Ralphy Xia had always carried himself manneredly with good temper. Now that he showed such an
outburst, the board of directors were shocked.
When Ralphy Xia saw that they were silent, he continued, "The coming collaboration with CS will be
finalized in the end of the month. If you guys fail again, you don't even need to bother to come to the
company anymore. Simply email your resignation letter!"
After saying that, Ralphy Xia glared at the crowd and simply walked out the meeting room.
Right after he left, the board of directors looked at each other. They stopped their discussion and
simply looked at each other worriedly. After that, they dispersed and left the meeting room as well.
Ralphy Xia sat in his office and rested his arms on the desk. The man crossed his arms and seemed to
be in deep thought.
Alistair Mu…
As he thought about that name, his eyes dimmed.
……
Renee An left.
And Ralphy Xia did not went after her.
After learning of the news, Annabelle Xia couldn't describe her feeling.
In the end, she could do nothing but sigh. No matter what, that is their choice. Annabelle Xia decided to
let it go and never mention it again.
Finally, everything was brought to a conclusion. Now that Annabelle Xia wasn't bothered anymore, she
managed to get a few days of rest.
However, Alistair Mu was busy in the meantime.
In Yun Rui.
Alistair Mu sat in his office and there were a lot of documents pending his review.
At that time, Jack walked inside, "Sir, this is the project CS proposed!"
When Alistair Mu heard that, he stretched out his hand to receive the document. After reviewing it, his
lips curled up, "This project with CS is the key. Tell them my direct order, do everything they can to
secure this tender!"
Jack nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
Whenever his president said his mind to, he will always succeed.
Jack went out to arrange the matter. However, he came back about an hour later and he had a grim
expression, "Sir…"
"What's wrong?" Alistair Mu looked at him and asked lazily.
Jack pondered for a while and said, "I just received the news that the Xia Group will be participating in
the tender as well!"
Alistair Mu's motion of signing stop. He raised his head and looked at Jack, "The Xia Group?"
Jack nodded.
After knowing the complicated relationship between the men and also with the knowledge that Ralphy
Xia was Annabelle Xia's family, Jack felt the need to report that to his boss, "They seemed to be
determined and desperate!"
Alistair Mu simply smiled. The man showed a smug and confident expression, "Then let's just see who
manage to secure the deal in the end!"
"Then about Miss Xia…"
"This is work and fair competition. We don't have to hold back!" Alistair Mu said confidently.
Jack smiled and he was restful, "Okay, I understand!"
"Okay, go get back to work!"
Jack nodded and walked out the office.
After he left, Alistair Mu rested his chin on his hand. The man's eyes were gleaming like a gem stone
and they were full with vigor.
Ralphy Xia…
His lips curled up. After that, he lowered his head and dived back in work.
At the same time, Ralphy Xia received the news that Alistair Mu would be participating in the tender of
CS.
The moment Ralphy Xia learnt of the news, he had a grim expression. Their company had lost quite a
number of potential partners and they left the Xia Group for Yun Rui.
If they continued to lose the project from CS, the company would be placed in a tight spot and their
potential would be limited.
As he thought about that, he looked at his assistant and said, "No matter what, we must make sure to
secure the project from CS. Show me the proposal once you are done. If they can't do it, get them to
resign!"
The assistant knew the gravity of the matter and he nodded and hurried out.
It seemed that this project tender had started a war.
However it may be, the Xia Group was determined to do everything they could to secure the CS
project.
The next day.
Ralphy Xia was in his office when the assistant came in suddenly, "Sir…"
"What's the matter?"
"I just received news that Alistair Mu is having dinner with the person in charge of CS. They are in Yun
Hua hotel now!"
When Ralphy Xia heard that, he had a grim expression.
For the past few days, he had been inviting the person in charge of CS as well. However, the other
party had been telling him he didn't have the time.
But now…
Ralphy Xia gripped his fist tightly. He took up his jacket and went out.
"To Yun Hua hotel!"
The assistant followed closely behind.
As Ralphy Xia was sitting in the car, he looked at the entrance of the hotel and started to make his
plan.
Meanwhile, Alistair Mu was having an enjoyable time with the person in charge of CS. After they were
done with dinner and their discussion, they came out the hotel together.
At that time, Ralphy Xia opened his car door and got down. The man strode towards them directly.
"President Mu, I have great expectations towards your proposal!"
"Don't worry, we most certainly won't let you down!" Alistair Mu smiled confidently.
Both of them shook their hands and wanted to part ways.
At that time, Ralphy Xia approached them suddenly. The moment he saw them, he smiled gentlemanly,
"Frieda!"
The moment Frieda saw Ralphy Xia, he frowned, "May I know you are…?" He asked with an
inarticulate Chinese.
"I am the president of the Xia Group, Ralphy Xia!"
When Frieda heard that, he caught on and immediately stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you!"
"What a surprise to see you here. May I know if you are free? I want to invite you for a cup of tea!"
The man knew that Frieda liked to drink tea and the Chinese Longjing was his favorite.
Ralphy Xia had done his homework properly. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Alistair Mu stood by the side and looked at Ralphy Xia. The man maintained a gentlemanly smile all the
time. He hadn't expected Ralphy Xia to receive the news so soon. It seemed that he was just
desperate and he needed the project very much.
