The bidding meeting this time proceeded very quickly. After Su Chen went on stage to give a speech on the bidding document, everyone knew that they had no chance. The final result was also announced very quickly. The Su family was selected as the military's partner this time.
The news spread very quickly, and all the major families in the capital were notified immediately.
When Xu Ruhui returned home, her grandfather was anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room.
He had already received the news that the Su family had won the bid, so he wasn't surprised at all. He was only concerned about whether Xu Ruhui had completed the task that he had given her today.
After receiving the news that the Su family had won the bid, the old man had been waiting at home, hoping to hear good news from his granddaughter.
An hour later, Xu Ruhui finally returned home. As soon as she entered the door, her grandfather immediately asked, "How was it, Ruhui? You should have seen Su Chen today, right? You and him … "
Xu Ruhui didn't say a word. She didn't say anything and directly rushed into her room. Even through the door, her grandfather could hear the sound of crying coming from inside the room.
Everyone else had already guessed the outcome of the matter. Xu Yongsheng and the others lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. Xu Yuncong had also hidden early, afraid that his great-grandfather would catch and beat him up again.
Grandfather Xu knew that the matter had failed, and his face immediately turned cold.
He sat on the sofa and sighed. No one dared to speak beside him, and they all stood there silently.
Xu Ruhui cried very sadly, and her voice reached her grandfather's ears. He was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand on the floor.
"Cry, cry, cry, all of you are so useless. Other than crying, you don't know anything else!"
"How did our Xu family give birth to such useless things like you!"
"You can't even handle such a small matter, and you don't even know how to speak when you come back. It's as if you've been wronged!"
Grandfather Xu scolded very loudly so that Xu Ruhui, who was in the room, could hear him.
When Xu Ruhui heard her grandfather's words, she immediately cried even more sadly.
Old Man Xu stood up and kicked the door open.
"Hurry up and get out here. What exactly happened at the bidding meeting? Come out and tell me clearly. After you're done, go cry!"
Xu Ruhui didn't dare to disobey the old man's anger. She wiped her tears and walked out of the room with her head lowered.
She cried as she said, "Grandpa, I really tried my best. I specially dressed up beautifully today, but I didn't expect that Young Master Su Chen would actually bring Yan Bingxue along!"
Grandfather Xu frowned. "So what if they went together? They are husband and wife. What did I tell you at home? "
"I understand. Grandpa, don't worry. I was very respectful to Yan Bingxue today."
"But Young Master Su Chen also ignored me."
"I said a lot of things to him and conveyed your intentions. I followed what you taught me and told him word by word. However, Young Master Su Chen acted as if he didn't hear me at all. From beginning to end, he ignored me. He didn't even look at me. He just held Li Xue's hand and left."
"After the bidding meeting ended, I wanted to congratulate him. However, just as I squeezed into the crowd, Young Master Su Chen left with Yan Bingxue. He didn't give me a chance at all …"
As she spoke, Xu Ruhui felt wronged and cried again.
Grandfather Xu frowned tightly. Although he was angry, he couldn't do anything to his granddaughter.
"Alright, I'm not dead yet. Don't cry in front of me all day!"
"Although I didn't gain anything today, if you did as I said, then you didn't offend their family. Let's leave it at that for now. Hurry up and stop crying. It's annoying to see!"
Xu Ruhui didn't dare to cry anymore. She lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Next to him, Xu Yongsheng asked carefully, "Dad, what should we do now?"
"The Su family has taken over the military's business. I'm afraid they'll leave us in the dust in the future …"
"Aren't I thinking of a way now? Are your heads on your shoulders just to show off? I'm already eighty or ninety years old. None of you are capable. When I die, do you expect me to appear in your dreams and teach you how to manage our Xu family? "
"All of you, get out of my sight. Don't be an eyesore here. Think carefully about how we'll perform at the Su family's celebration banquet!"
"A bunch of idiots who can't do anything right!"

The Huo family also received the news that the Su family had won the bid immediately.
Grandfather Huo said, "This matter is finally settled. From now on, the Su family's status in the entire Imperial Capital will be different!"
The young master brought in the latest news announced by the Su family and said with excitement in his eyes, "Grandpa, the Su family has done a great job this time. In such a short period of time, they've actually created a complete industrial chain, all of which is aimed at mecha. This time, the military announced several cooperation projects, and they've already prepared the factories!"
Grandfather Huo said with a smile, "This matter must have been arranged by Su Chen. Su Chen was the one who made the mecha. No one knows it better than him. Su Chen probably already knew what the military needed. The last time they came to the Imperial Capital, they stayed for a period of time. Before they went back, they must have arranged everything here. That's why the Su family was able to handle it so well this time."
"Xiao Jia, you have to learn more from Young Su Chen. Young Su Chen is younger than you, but his brain is top-notch. Not only is he a genius in scientific research, but he's also a ruthless character in business!"
The young master of the Huo family nodded. "Grandpa, I also heard that the Xu family also went to the bidding today."
"The Xu family? What are they trying to do? The Su family is in the limelight now. That old man from the Xu family shouldn't stand up to the Su family at this time, right? Is there any other news? "
"Grandpa, you guessed right. I heard that the Xu family went this time in the name of accompanying the Su family. They said that we can't let people from other places look down on us in the Imperial Capital. Moreover, the old man from the Xu family actually sent Xu Ruhui to attend the bidding this time."
"Xu Ruhui? Haha, that old man from the Xu family is really something! Last time, Xu Ruhui provoked Su Chen's wife at the banquet. Their family has already apologized in public, but I didn't expect that they still wouldn't give up and actually want to make a fuss at the bidding! "Grandfather Huo sneered.
"The result won't be good! This Young Master Su Chen is obviously an upright and plainspoken person. Last time at the banquet, he wasn't careless at all. Moreover, his relationship with his wife is very good. It's impossible for him to take a woman like Xu Ruhui seriously at all. "
"Grandpa guessed right. I heard that Xu Ruhui attended the banquet today dressed up, but Young Master Su Chen didn't even pay attention to her. Xu Ruhui's eyes were red when she left. Right now, the Xu family is probably in an uproar!"
Grandfather Huo laughed out loud when he heard that. "That old man from the Xu family is really something. Young Master Su Chen is already married, but he still wants to use such despicable methods. It's good that he did this. The greater the conflict between the Xu family and the Su family, the more stable our position will be. You've been doing well recently. Your wife also chatted with Su Chen's wife a few days ago. Remember to keep it up. Don't copy the Xu family and always try to do something bad. We have to be good to ourselves!"
"From now on, the Imperial Capital will be the Su family's world!"
