Chapter 134 – 134 Domineering Father-in-Law
Chen Yu was momentarily baffled. The construction of the factory had only just started today, yet Tong Ming had already found out about it.
But Tong Ya had been with him all day, and now she was dancing with Tuan Tuan, leaving no time to call Tong Ming.
However, on second thought, Tong Ming was able to muster up so many people to stay nearby when the online celebrity caused trouble at the shop.
It would have been relatively easy to send a few people to loiter around his shop and gather some intelligence.
Chen Yu sighed helplessly, “Dad, my factory has just begun the construction phase and hasn’t started production yet, and here you are placing orders. Isn’t this a form of covert investment?”
“Nonsense! What do you mean by covert investment? I’ve seen your semi-finished products warehouse before. If you’re running a factory, of course, you’d produce semi-finished puff pastries and vegetable rolls. I have a few breakfast brands under me, so why wouldn’t I buy these semi-finished products?”
Chen Yu paused for a moment, as this did indeed make sense.
With the Tong Group’s vast portfolio, it was not surprising they owned a few breakfast brands.
“But, Dad, my factory hasn’t even started operations, and you’re already coming to buy, which really seems a bit…”
“Seems a bit what?” Tong Ming interrupted Chen Yu, “We’re family now, aren’t we? Your semi-finished products, should they be sold to someone else? Do you want their breakfast brands to outcompete the Tong Family’s?”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Chen Yu found himself unable to retort for the moment.
“Alright, it’s decided then!” Tong Ming declared, making a decision on the spot: “Take some time in the next few days to come to my office. List out what your factory plans to produce so we can sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement.”
After speaking, Tong Ming hung up the phone.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. Although he still suspected Tong Ming of making a covert investment, supplying semi-finished products to breakfast brand stores was indeed his sales target, wasn’t it?
“Honey? Who were you talking to?”
Tong Ya led Tuan Tuan into the basement.
Chen Yu shook his phone, “It was your dad. He wants to sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement with me, saying he’ll supply the first batch of semi-finished products produced by the factory to him.”
“That’s great news!” Tong Ya took a seat across from Chen Yu, casually pouring a glass of red wine.
Chen Yu was taken aback, this was the first time Tong Ya seemed so supportive.
Before this, Tong Ya and Tong Ming were on bad terms. Even if their misunderstandings had been resolved, there were still some barriers between them.
“But don’t you think this is a bit like covert investment?”
Tong Ya shot back, somewhat exasperated, “Honey, he doesn’t own a share in your factory, and besides, it’s just business. Plus, the Tong Group is indeed a good sales lead. They own a multitude of breakfast and supermarket brands.”
Chen Yu shook his head; he was really overthinking this time.
“Okay, we’ll go sign the contract tomorrow.”
The next morning at eight, Tong Ya got dressed in a sharp professional suit that added an authoritative aura to her.
Chen Yu remained casual as usual; he wasn’t one to fuss over what to wear.
After all, his physique was now proportioned like Gold, negating the need for clothes to enhance his appearance.
Tong Ming was in the conference room at the top of the building, having a meeting with the group’s senior executives.
The meeting had just started when Tong Ya, leading Chen Yu, barged in.
Upon their entry, all the executives stood up immediately, viewing Tong Ya with reverent gazes and collectively addressing her as Director Tong.
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated slightly, astonished by the status Tong Ya held in the eyes of these senior executives.
In fact, Tong Ya had previously served as the vice president of the Tong Group, as well as the chief planner for the group’s macro business strategy.
