Chapter 503: Winning the Bet

Although Jiang Yu’s idea was also very good, compared to an experienced capitalist like Huo Xuan, she was still too young.

Jiang Yu relied on her appearance and packaging to attract customers. She made innovations and changes in the market’s sales method and barely maintained high sales for a day or two.

On the other side, once Huo Xuan’s new product was released, the customers were all attracted by the advertisement slogan he had posted. They were very curious about this product that had added all sorts of herbs. Although the sales in the first two days were still a little low and not doing well, the customers who had used it and realized the effect it had brought their friends and relatives to buy it crazily in the next few days. In an instant, the group’s sales had reached a high point that they hadn’t reached in decades.

A week passed very quickly. When it was nearing the end, be it in terms of sales or turnover, half of the companies under Huo Xuan’s management far exceeded Jiang Yu’s. Furthermore, looking at the rising momentum of the various companies, even if the girl came up with any brilliant ideas in a short period of time, it was probably useless.

Thinking of this, on the last day after the bet ended, Jiang Yu reluctantly came to the small mansion and rang the doorbell.

Huo Xuan was leisurely dealing with work in the study when he heard the servant report that Jiang Yu had arrived. He kept his things calmly and went downstairs.

When she saw Huo Xuan’s figure coming down from upstairs, Jiang Yu gritted her teeth with a livid expression and said in a displeased tone, “You’ve barely won this time. How about we compete in calligraphy in the next competition? We’ll practice separately for a week. The National Calligraphy Competition will be held next weekend at Beijing University’s exhibition hall. Many world-class calligraphers will be present. Do you dare to participate? The person who gets first place will win!”

Upon hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Huo Xuan immediately said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

After a pause, Huo Xuan recalled the winning algorithm that was mentioned on the day they made the bet. He sneered coldly and added, “However, the person who wins two out of three rounds wins the competition, if you lose this round, we don’t have to continue with the next round, right?”

Seeing Huo Xuan’s confident appearance, Jiang Yu stomped her feet and shouted angrily, “Huo Xuan, don’t be happy too early. It’s not certain who will win! Just wait and see!”

After saying this, Jiang Yu immediately turned around and ran out of the small mansion in exasperation.

Although she knew that Sister Mo was definitely in the room, she had lost the bet and she was too ashamed to see Sister Mo.

Just as Jiang Yu left the small mansion, Chen Man arrived. The moment Chen Man arrived, she knocked on Mo Zhu’s door. It was unknown what she had to say, but she looked like she had something on her mind.

When Mo Zhu saw this, she obediently poured a glass of water for Chen Man. She patted the woman’s hand comfortingly. Thinking of how well Chen Man had treated her previously, Mo Zhu said softly, “Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it. We’re all family. There’s nothing difficult to say.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Chen Man sighed and held the girl’s hand. She seemed to have made up her mind and said, “Xiao Zhu, I went to the wedding of a few friends’ children a few days ago. You and Xuan’er have been engaged for a long time. I think you’re considered a university student after the college entrance examination. University students should be able to get married, right?”

After pausing for a few seconds, before Chen Man could finish, she carefully observed Mo Zhu’s expression and added softly, “The old master hasn’t been in good health in recent years. As you know, he treasures his grandson, Xuan’er the most. I’ve discussed it with your uncle. It’s a done deal that you’re the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Why don’t we register our marriage and hold a wedding after you graduate from high school?”

After listening to Chen Man’s words seriously, Mo Zhu knew what she was worried about. She lowered her eyes and pondered quietly for a moment before shaking Chen Man’s hand and nodding. “Alright, I’ll listen to Uncle and Auntie’s arrangements. I’ll talk to Huo Xuan about this. Just tell me after you’ve set a time.”
