Chapter 2128: Chapter 2129: The First Wife Left with Nothing 48

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yu still hadn’t received a call from Lin Yu, which left her quite puzzled.

Could it be that he knew he couldn’t recover the labor fee, so he didn’t call?

But that’s fine too. Although she wasn’t afraid to argue with him, going through such an experience might be a good thing.

Zhang Qiang and the others were, of course, concerned about this project. In their eyes, whether Lin Yu could win the bid would greatly influence his status in the Han Family.

They also quickly received news that the project was awarded to a certain foreign investment bank, which made them very curious about why the other party was chosen.

They had seen the project proposal Zhang Yu made, and it was really good. It could be said that many aspects had been considered. Why didn’t she win the bid? They really couldn’t understand.

Seeing Zhang Yu return, they wanted to discuss it with her. The one who didn’t win the bid was Lin Yu, but everyone knew that Zhang Yu did the project, so it must have been a blow to her too.

They worried that what they said might upset Zhang Yu, so they carefully considered their words for a long time.

Seeing her cautious parents, Zhang Yu smiled, "I really didn’t take it to heart. After all, I did my best, and it’s normal not to win the bid."

"Even for the big shots, it’s not always easy to win a project every time they make a move."

"My proposal was good this time, and the other party acknowledged it. Lin Yu told me that a long time ago." Since it wasn’t her problem, she shouldn’t dwell on it.

"Since the other party acknowledged it, why did the project still go to someone else?" Clearly, their child’s proposal was excellent. Why didn’t they win the bid? Could it be that the other party’s work was better than Little Yu’s?

Why? As for this question, well, there are many reasons, such as Mr. Han doing some behind-the-scenes maneuvers.

One has to admit, some people just favor the eldest son, even if it contradicts Mr. Han’s wishes.

And of course, there’s the aspect of Lin Yu and the others being rather greedy. She had mentioned earlier that this company intended to list overseas, and if they could collaborate with an overseas investment bank, it would work better, but they just ignored it.

She could remind them a bit, and that was really all they deserved for the labor fee they gave.

Ah? Zhang Qiang and the others didn’t expect that Lin Yu and the others failed to secure the project due to both internal and external factors.

"How did Mr. Han come up with such an idea? Lin Yu is already married to Han Xue; he’s surely the son-in-law of the Han Family. Why would such a thing happen?" Zhang Qiang really couldn’t understand.

Han Yu nodded on the side, "Yeah, the Han Family is the central topic of discussion now. Everyone thinks the Han Family is in turmoil and on a downhill path."

"The Han Family really needs some good news to boost its reputation, to let everyone know that the Han Family still has new blood and is still a financial powerhouse."

It’s really incomprehensible. Everyone is just waiting to see the Han Family’s joke, yet Mr. Han still pulls such a maneuver, making it really hard to understand his intentions.

"Perhaps it’s also a warning to the other sons from Mr. Han." Zhang Yu couldn’t quite understand why Mr. Han would make such a move either.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Qiang said, "Maybe there’s another possibility, which is that he fundamentally doesn’t want Han Xue or Lin Yu to step up."

"The Han Family’s main branch has potential, while the rest may not fare well or simply can’t compare to the main branch. Letting them become the head, not to mention leading the Han Family forward."

"They can’t even maintain the current foundation." Zhang Qiang didn’t have dealings with the Han Family, but he could understand a thing or two about their affairs.

"Previously, Lin Yu performed well, and maybe in Mr. Han’s eyes, once Lin Yu achieves more and more, he would no longer be dependent on the Han Family, but rather the Han Family becomes reliant on the Lin Family."

"Such situations have occurred many times." Zhang Qiang paused, "There’s a rumor that Mr. Han could go abroad to study back then because of the sponsorship from his former fiancée’s family."

"When he returned after his studies, his former fiancée’s entire family had disappeared, and he eventually married a college classmate and had children."

"The other’s family was well-known in Shanghai in the past, and the dowry at marriage was substantial."

Wow, hearing these past stories of Mr. Han, Zhang Yu only had one thought in her mind, "Why do I feel that his trajectory of success is quite similar to Lin Yu’s?"

Zhang Qiang grunted, "Right, they went abroad with their family before the liberation and never contacted them again. Oh, the Han Family main branch is the result of that union."

"They took their youngest son with them."

Zhang Yu knew Mr. Han had been married several times, but she didn’t know the specifics about the other woman, "So did they go to Harbor City or Europe and America?"

As for this question, Zhang Qiang wasn’t clear, "Most likely, they didn’t stay in Harbor City. They took away a significant amount of money when they left."

"If they stayed in Harbor City, there wouldn’t be complete silence."

Regarding Zhang Qiang’s hypothesis, Zhang Yu thought there was another possibility, "Dad, maybe there’s another possibility, which is the family has no successors."

"That’s quite possible, too." Zhang Qiang agreed, "Of course, there’s also the possibility they went to Europe and America."

"Mr. Han’s wife’s two brothers also went abroad early for studies in finance and law."

"If they were to go abroad, Europe and America are likely destinations." Zhang Qiang thought if they couldn’t get any information about them in Harbor City, then the possibility of them going to Europe and America increased.

Studying law and finance, plus ancestral wealth, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath, "Dad, if they really went to Europe and America, do you think they might have already connected with the Han Family’s main branch?"

As for this, Zhang Qiang wasn’t the person involved, "I wouldn’t know, but if they did connect over there, then the situation is deep."

With fame back then, if the heir is that person’s son, there wouldn’t be any problem, but if it’s someone else, the other side wouldn’t remain silent.

"Never mind, the family affairs of the Han Family have nothing to do with us." Although his daughter was capable and had made considerable money during this period.

In comparison to those families with long-standing legacies, the gap is simply enormous. In other words, if they want to crush us, it would be an effortless task.

Zhang Yu, although not fearing them at all, felt there was no need to provoke them. Seeing the look of concern on her father’s face, all right, it’s necessary to ease his worries.

"If that’s really the case, Dad, it’s actually a good thing for us. We don’t get along with Han Xue’s family. If they want the Han Family’s main branch to rise, they will surely target Han Xue’s family."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." What Zhang Yu was actually more curious about was, "Do they truly return to support the son of that lady, or is it for their own interests?"

The more wealthy the family, the less deep the so-called family ties. What unites them is money and interests.

"Forget it, let’s just enjoy the spectacle as outsiders." Yes, enjoying the spectacle is important.

"And making money." Making money is also a big deal, nothing else matters, not even Lin Yu.
