It was almost noon, just as Chen Hongtao wanted to leave the office and go to the cafeteria, the sound of the office knocking on the door sounded, and a person he unexpectedly walked in with a thermos.

The one who came to Chen Hongtao's office was nothing but his wife Wang Jinlan.[]

Unlike the old-fashioned thing in the past, Wang Jinlan is dressed quite casually and beautifully today. She has a white long-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, a beige windbreaker, a pair of jeans on the lower body, and even small leather shoes look cute.

Wang Jinlan walked in gracefully and brought a gust of fragrance, but this fragrance did not smell as rich as those perfumes, but instead had a refreshing and sweet smell.

When Wang Jinlan found Chen Hongtao's dazed look at the desk, the smile on her face showed a little dissatisfaction: "Are you surprised to see me?"

"How could it be! I just feel a little uncomfortable with your outfit today." Chen Hongtao, who came to his senses, looked at Wang Jinlan's long legs and round buttocks wrapped in jeans, stood up and sighed with a smile.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wang Jinlan raised her beautiful eyebrows, the soft lines on her face became vivid and round, her lips were slightly pursed, and the faint honey-colored lips line exuded a heart-warming temptation.

"Just going to eat, but you didn't expect you to come!" Chen Hongtao glanced at the thermos and roast duck that Wang Jinlan was carrying, and a smile of expectation appeared on his face.

At this time, Wang Jinlan naturally saw the fashionable suit that Chen Hongtao was wearing. She put the things on the desk. Then she smiled unnaturally: "The suit is very good!"

"It's not much different from that Zhongshan suit. You haven't eaten, right? It's right together." Chen Hongtao smiled and opened the thermos with a smile, tidied up the food.

Quanjude roast duck, nut spinach, shredded potatoes, and the lunch brought by Wang Jinlan was not too rich, but after a little taste, Chen Hongtao knew that the two dishes were made by her own hands.

"It's rare to have a meal together, so you can have some more." Chen Hongtao brought a chair for Wang Jinlan and asked her to sit down at the desk as well.

"You know too? If you didn't say it, I would have thought you were not going home!" Wang Jinlan's slightly aggrieved smile made Chen Hongtao's face embarrassed.

"I'll go back today and let Ma Wu make something delicious tonight. Let's have another delicious meal." Chen Hongtao smiled at Wang Jinlan while eating.

"Shaunted guy! It was my mom who asked me to come to you today. If I hadn't heard from my mom, wouldn't you ever tell me that you were so much harmed by someone in the company?" Wang Jinlan had a look of worry hidden in her beautiful eyes, and she looked at Chen Hongtao's figure.

"It's not a big deal. Am I sitting in front of you now?" Chen Hongtao added a piece of duck meat to Wang Jinlan and comforted him with a smile.

Seeing her husband's carefree expression, Wang Jinlan's worries dissipated a little.

"Mom asked you to come here, it should be more than just letting you see if I have something to do, right?" Chen Hongtao poured Wang Jinlan a glass of water and asked with a smile.

"Mom said that you have turned the Mingzhu Group upside down these days, and let me come over and check it out for you." Wang Jinlan glanced at Chen Hongtao strangely and said.

"I happened to have something to look for you. After the entire Mingzhu Group's assets and financial inventory is completed, I hope you can help me contact Huaguang Group and sell the assets of some wholly-owned subsidiaries of our Mingzhu Group to them." Chen Hongtao said bluntly when he said to Wang Jinlan.

Huaguang Group is different from Hualan Trading. The entire Hualan Trading is a privately owned group company of Wang Jinlan Furniture, but Huaguang Group is the family industry of the old Wang family. Its scale and background are not comparable to Hualan Trading.

"Selling assets? Why do you do this?" Wang Jinlan put down her chopsticks, her pretty face full of surprise when she heard her husband's statement.

"I don't know if I don't have the power to be a boss. After the asset inventory over the past two days, I have gained some knowledge of Mingzhu Group. Let me tell you the truth. Mingzhu Group is not in good condition now and it is difficult to support such a big stall. If you want not to be dragged down, you must reduce the burden." Chen Hongtao said with a slightly wry smile.

"I heard from my mother that the group's production and operation have now come to a standstill, but it's not as good as being forced to sell assets, right?" Although Wang Jinlan was mentally prepared before coming, she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

Seeing Wang Jinlan's pretty face, Chen Hongtao signaled her to continue eating, and said with a smile: "After the assets and financial integration of the assets Mingzhu Group will sell, it is definitely considered lightweight and there will be no debt problems left. Of course, relatives belong to relatives, and the price of the best group's assets for sale cannot be lost."

Feeling that Chen Hongtao had made up his mind, Wang Jinlan thought a little: "If Mingzhu Group is really in danger, our Hualan Trading can still help. It would be a pity to sell the assets like this!"

Chen Hongtao smiled and shook his head without saying a word, not agreeing with Wang Jinlan's proposal.

"You are taking too fast to integrate the group company! Why are you so anxious? The group is in trouble and should work hard on its own operations and sell off important assets of the group company. Isn't it equivalent to killing a chicken to get eggs?" Wang Jinlan sighed, obviously not optimistic about Chen Hongtao's approach.

Without explaining anything to Wang Jinlan, Chen Hongtao smiled lightly, completely like he was fine.

"What assets do you want to sell Mingzhu Group? If possible, our Hualan Trading can also take over." Wang Jinlan took a deep breath and inquired at Chen Hongtao.

Hearing Wang Jinlan's words, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile and said, "If Hualan Trading takes over, it wouldn't be like going around the old and going around his own home again! Do you mean that things that are not well managed in my hands will develop well in your hands?"

"I don't mean that, it's just that a good group asset is sold like this. Wouldn't it be a pity!" Wang Jinlan seemed a little angry when she felt the playfulness in Chen Hongtao's smile.

"I will sell some of the assets of Mingzhu Trading, Mingzhu Electric Factory, and Mingzhu Jewelry Company. Please help me contact Huaguang Group in the next two days. The most important thing is that the price must be appropriate. If they cannot give a good price, I don't mind contacting other ways." Chen Hongtao smiled and gave Wang Jinlan's answer.

"Hongtao, you have to think clearly that Mingzhu Trading and Motor Factory are the largest profit pillars of the entire group. They are equivalent to the two legs of Mingzhu Group. If you sell these two most important assets of Mingzhu Group, it is equivalent to breaking the entire group's life!" Wang Jinlan took a deep breath and advised Chen Hongtao.

"The old ones don't go to the new ones, there is nothing to worry about. I will tell you the quotation of these assets in retrospect, and I can negotiate with Huaguang. It is estimated that these assets to be sold will be worth about 70 million yuan, and the price is absolutely reasonable. However, Huaguang will take over even the existing employees of Mingzhu Group." Chen Hongtao's statement made Wang Jinlan's expression change slightly.

"Take the employee? What does that mean?" Wang Jinlan asked Chen Hongtao keenly.

"I don't have to hide this kind of thing from you. I originally planned to lay off two-thirds of the entire group's employees. Now the group company's assets are integrated and they just happened to package and sell these employees." Chen Hongtao smiled with a faint shrewdness.

"I will tell my second uncle about this, but since it is a business, you must also be prepared to be bargained. It is impossible to use the numbers you said." Wang Jinlan looked worried, obviously because she was worried about the future situation of Mingzhu Group.

In Wang Jinlan's view, even if Chen Hongtao diverted most of the employees of Mingzhu Group and reduced the pressure to a certain extent, it was just a short-sighted approach.

Business is getting bigger and bigger, but after Chen Hongtao took over Mingzhu Group, he sold the group's important assets. Now, let alone a new profit growth point, the foundation of Mingzhu Group will collapse with Mingzhu Trading and Mechanical and Electrical Plant being sold.

"I heard that you had exchanges with foreign business inspection team two days ago. Have you gained anything?" Wang Jinlan seemed to have thought of something, her eyes showed a little expectation and asked Chen Hongtao.

"It's just an ordinary conversation, there's no real gain. However, if you Hualan Trading want to contact them, I'm happy to help you introduce it." Chen Hongtao's smile made Wang Jinlan slightly disappointed.

Before, Wang Jinlan was thinking about selling Mingzhu Group's assets with the idea that Chen Hongtao might have had some new way out, but she didn't know that Chen Hongtao didn't even take advantage of such a good opportunity.

"Are you sure you can recommend me?" Wang Jinlan obviously distrusts her husband who is not serious and has short-sighted in business.

"Those foreigners are more anxious than you! The last time I had a very pleasant conversation with them. I believe it would be no problem to recommend your Hualan Trading to them. You can arrange your time and tell me that I will call the reception desk at that time." Chen Hongtao smiled cynically.

Unlike Chen Hongtao who was indifferent to anything, Wang Jinlan was worried about a meal. Until he cleaned up, Wang Jinlan said shyly to Chen Hongtao: "Thank you for your bracelet, I like it very much..."

"Just like it. Should you stay here in the afternoon or go back first?" Chen Hongtao was not proud, but asked calmly at Wang Jinlan.

"Since you have decided on everything, I'll leave first. It's such a big deal to sell assets. Don't you mind telling me to mom?" Wang Jinlan's face was light and her makeup was light, and her eyeshadow and lips made the girl's youthful and pretty look as bright as the world.

"You told my mother better, but it would save me a lot of interrogation." Chen Hongtao smiled slightly, not opposing his wife's statement.
