After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 109 Taking the Opportunity to Negotiate

Throughout the Spring Festival, Hua Wenxia kept thinking about having Hua Meimei bring Luo Jiuyu to her home for dinner.

On the Lantern Festival, he called Hua Meimei again, asking her to bring Luo Jiuyu home for a reunion dinner.

To Luo Jiuyu's surprise, Hua Meimei actually agreed this time.

On the way to the Hua family's house, Luo Jiuyu asked Hua Meimei with a half-smile, "You're finally going back today, are you planning something big?"

He glanced at her large tote bag.

She brought a large tote bag today, which should contain A4-sized paper contracts.

Hua Meimei patted her bag. "You can see through everything. I've prepared a big gift package for the Hua family."

He smiled and said, "I think you don't intend to let them have a proper Lantern Festival."

She shrugged and smiled. With the Lantern Festival approaching and university just around the corner, this was the perfect opportunity.

Upon arriving at the Hua family home, Hua Meimei and Luo Jiuyu walked in side by side.

Hua Wenxia and others waited at the door, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Hua Meimei was a little surprised; it was rare for her father to wait outside the door for her to come home.

This is a treatment I've never received before.

She suddenly realized he had aged a lot. The once handsome man now had gray hair at the temples and wrinkles around his eyes.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, why didn't you dye your hair before the holiday?" she asked.

Hua Wenxia waved her hand with a smile, "I'm old, it doesn't matter anymore."

Luo Jiuyu noticed a fleeting look of worry on Hua Meimei's face. After all, he was her father; no amount of resentment could sever their familial bond.

"Hello, father-in-law." Luo Jiuyu stepped forward to greet him.

Hua Wenxia extended her hand to shake hands with Luo Jiuyu, saying, "It is a great honor for our Hua family that our son-in-law can come to our family."

"Father-in-law, you flatter me. I should have come to visit you much earlier. It was wrong of me to arrive so late. I will punish myself with three cups of wine later."

"Shall we drink to our hearts' content today?"

"it is good!"

Hua Meimei curled the corners of her lips, "You two shouldn't be doing this business stuff at home."

"Haha..." Hua Wenxia laughed heartily.

Hua Meimei suddenly realized that her father hadn't been this happy in a long time.

During this period, he devoted himself to the factory and his family, working tirelessly and worrying himself sick.

Lin Cuilan rarely prepared lunch with Aunt Zhang, so she sat down after they were all seated.

She didn't even glance at Lin Cuilan. Luo Jiuyu also treated Lin Cuilan as if she were invisible, not even calling her "Aunt Lan."

Hua Wenxia knew what was going on, so she didn't specifically introduce Lin Cuilan to Luo Jiuyu.

"Where's An'an?" Hua Wenxia realized that the family was missing Hua An'an.

Lin Cuilan looked worried: "I haven't gotten up yet."

"What kind of talk is this? It's already noon." Hua Wenxia was very unhappy. This son of hers was always causing her trouble.

I stopped giving Hua An'an pocket money and froze her credit card. I thought that would make her behave better, but I didn't expect her to sleep in at home every day.

"Sister Zhang, go upstairs and call An'an to come down and meet his brother-in-law," Lin Cuilan instructed.

Aunt Zhang responded and went upstairs.

Hua Meimei glanced at Aunt Zhang's retreating figure.

Aunt Zhang seemed quite relaxed during this visit. Lin Cuilan probably didn't make things too difficult for her afterwards.

Hua Meimei arranged for Aunt Zhang's son and daughter-in-law to work in the company's warehouse, giving them generous compensation.

They are honest, hardworking, and perform quite well.

"Dad, I heard Hua An'an is going to be expelled from school? He won't be involved when the new semester starts next semester," Hua Meimei asked.

Lin Cuilan frowned, truly adopting a "not my problem" attitude. Hua Meimei must be secretly delighted!

“There are rumors that he’s going to be expelled, but for some reason, the school hasn’t posted any notice,” Hua Wenxia said.

Lin Cuilan chimed in, "Since there's no official announcement, let's just go back to school when it starts."

Hua Meimei said, "Before the Lunar New Year, the principal called Jiu Yu to ask for his opinion on the matter of expelling Hua An'an..."

Lin Cuilan was shocked. Could it be that Hua An'an hadn't been notified because of Luo Jiuyu?

Hua Wenxia looked at Luo Jiuyu gratefully, "Did my son-in-law put in a good word for me with the principal?"

Luo Jiuyu smiled faintly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

He left everything to Hua Meimei to say. He tried not to say too much.

"You must have heard about Hua An'an's amazing performance at school, right? His expulsion from school was well-deserved."

Lin Cuilan's face turned ugly. She dared not retort.

Having such a son made Lin Cuilan feel like all the glory on her face had been ruined.

Hua Wenxia said, "Meimei, could you let An'an learn how to do business with you in the future?"

Not to mention that Hua Meimei disagreed, Hua An'an, who came downstairs with her hair all messy, immediately protested.

"Dad, I don't want to! What does Hua Meimei know?"

Hua Meimei rested her hands on the table, supporting her chin, and smiled very relaxedly.

Looking at Hua An'an like she was a monkey, he said, "Don't worry, I don't want to pass on my secret techniques to you. You're a good-for-nothing, I'm not wasting my time teaching you."

Hua An'an, who had been utterly scorned, suddenly became more sober.

He tried to argue, but was met with a cold, stern gaze from Luo Jiuyu.

"How about I call the principal and ask him not to do this because of me..." Luo Jiuyu hesitated.

"No, Mr. Luo, don't be angry. It was my son who was being disrespectful and offended his sister." Lin Cuilan smiled apologetically, while turning back to wink at Hua An'an.

"An'an, apologize to your sister."

Lin Cuilan was speechless at her son's lack of tact. He had no sense at all. Luo Jiuyu rarely came to visit, and he actually dared to talk back to Hua Meimei in front of her.

Isn't this disrespecting Luo Jiuyu?

The Hua family is now in decline. They can't afford to offend anyone, let alone their wealthy and powerful son-in-law, Luo Jiuyu.

Hua Wenxia was utterly disappointed in Hua An'an and angrily rebuked her, "Your sister brought her husband home for the Lantern Festival, and you came downstairs in your pajamas? Go wash up and come eat in three minutes."

Hua An'an gave a frustrated "oh" and dashed back upstairs to wash up.

The atmosphere had gotten just right. Hua Meimei took out the contract she had prepared from her bag and placed it in front of Hua Wenxia.

"What is this?" Hua Wenxia frowned.

"Dad, you've worked so hard to keep the factory going all these years. Hua An'an is such a disappointment. You wouldn't dare hand the factory over to him, would you?"

Hua Meimei looked at Lin Cuilan and said, "You're not good at management either. The lessons learned from the factory's decline in recent years should prove your abilities."

Lin Cuilan gave a guilty smile.

Hua Wenxia opened the contract. Lin Cuilan's gaze followed her down to the contents.

OMG!

Huameimei wants to acquire the factory!

Moreover, the acquisition price was less than 100 million, and they only offered 80 million.

Lin Cuilan gasped, her emotions churning for a long time. Even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs!

Now it's Hua Meimei's turn to ride roughshod over her. Looking at Luo Jiuyu sitting next to Hua Meimei with a serious expression, Lin Cuilan couldn't help but close her eyes.

A wealthy and powerful man you can't afford to offend.

“Meimei, you didn’t come back for a family reunion dinner today…” Hua Wenxia sighed with heartache. “I thought you were willing to forgive me, which is why you agreed to bring your son-in-law back.”

"Dad, it doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. I don't want to dwell on the past. Let's live in the present. How about we talk about the acquisition? That's the most important thing."

Hua Meimei continued, "Actually, according to market prices, the Hua family's factory is currently only worth a little over 70 million. I've already given them a few million more, after all, we're family."

She curled her lips into a cold smile.

"If you agree to transfer the job to me, I can plead with Anhui University not to expel Hua An'an, and I will personally find professionals to help him catch up on the courses he missed, ensuring that he graduates smoothly."

"In addition, if he is willing to learn business management, I can ask my husband to teach him how to fish and personally guide him."

As Hua Meimei spoke, she smiled at Luo Jiuyu and said coquettishly, "Honey, you should agree, right?"

Luo Jiuyu smiled and nodded, "I'll do whatever my wife tells me to do."

Hua Wenxia and Lin Cuilan's eyes lit up. If Luo Jiuyu personally took the lead in teaching Hua An'an business management, would Hua An'an still have to worry about not having a good future?

"Dad, what do you think of the conditions I offered?" Hua Meimei asked Hua Wenxia with a determined look.

With the Hua family already in this situation, what else can Hua Wenxia object to?

"MeiMei, do you really have a way to save the factory?" Hua Wenxia looked worried. "The factory owes the bank a lot of money, and I can't pay it back."

Hua Meimei had done background checks on these matters and knew everything. "It's okay, I've already come up with a plan on how to pay off the bank loan and expand the factory production line within six months."

She wanted more than just to save the factory; she wanted it to prosper.

“You…” Hua Wenxia was amazed by Hua Meimei’s extraordinary ability to act.

“If I had no connection with the Hua family, I would never have gone to such lengths to save a struggling food factory.”

Hua Meimei paused, her eyes welling up with tears as she thought of her deceased mother.

“I just don’t want to watch my mother’s hard work from her youth be destroyed.”
