Chapter 1579 An Episode (2/2)

his terms.

And with that in mind, Darren was fairly sure about securing the deal with the factory, especially since the KING Group's new line of skin products was all over the country. Their sales were so high that it was undoubtedly the best choice to work with them if one wanted to make a considerable amount of profit. Herman Su, the head of the raw material factory, had the same money-making thought in his mind.

And the fact that Darren had chosen such a lavish way to entertain his guests made Herman more than happy to make a deal with the KING Group that night. Unfortunately for Darren, he didn't consider the fact that someone else might make a more lucrative offer.

While Darren was drinking with Herman Su, Harlan came in in a hurry and whispered something in his ear.

”Mr. Xu, I just saw Jacob in the next room. He's having dinner with two of his men.”

Darren immediately knew that this wasn't just a simple coincidence. Because of this, his sky-high spirits fell straight to the ground. But being in front of Herman, he knew it was rude to show a worried face.

”Stay here, Harlan. I'll take a look for myself,” Darren whispered back while standing up. Then, he bowed to Herman Su and made up a reason to leave. ”Mr. Su, please excuse me for a minute. I need to go to the restroom.”

Herman Su was so happy at that moment that it seemed like he wouldn't care even if Darren took an hour to get back.

After that, Darren walked away and headed to the room Jacob was in.

As soon as he arrived, Jacob pretended to be surprised. ”Oh, what a coincidence, Mr. Xu! I didn't expect to see you here.”

”Stop acting,” Darren frigidly replied. Then, he added, ”Mr. Gu, are you here for dinner or to ruin my plans? Just tell me right now.”

Obviously, Darren had been wary of the HT Group ever since the KING Group launched its new products. He had even kept a keen eye and anxiously waited every day for their response. There was no doubt in his mind that Jacob would follow them into the skincare industry sooner or later. But now, he didn't need to think about whether his suspicions were true or not. The fact that his rival was there when he was setting up a way to increase the production of his skincare products was enough of a sign that the HT Group was staring their own line of skincare products.
