Chapter 736


    Chloe was astonished to see the man. “Jonah, why are you here? Didn’t the president invite you for a


    meal?”


    The man was none other than Chloe’s husband, Jonah Campbell. Right before he spoke, he


    coincidentallyid eyes on Sasha. The sight of her stunned him, but he managed to recollect himself


    quickly as he chuckled. “Oh, it’s because President Gonzalez has somethinging up. You know, our


    company is involved in a major project with Creative Cloud Group of Cathay. President Gonzalez has an


    appointment with the president of Creative Cloud Group, Miss Leanna Sandel, regarding the uing


    coboration. Since I have yet to officially join thepany, it’s not appropriate for me to join the


    discussion, so I came here instead.”


    Minerva was astounded. “Is that true? Didn’t you say that an appointment with Leanna Sandel is hard to


    come by? Not even our chairman got to meet her, so how did President Gonzalez secure an


    appointment with her? Could it be that you’re reaching an agreement regarding the coboration


    already?”


    With a smile, Jonah nodded. “I suppose President Sandel realized we’re being sincere regarding our


    offer. President Gonzalez went to wait on her as soon as we received news that President Sandel would


    be having dinner here.”


    Minerva was overjoyed upon being informed of that. “This is great! Dad, you will be the regional


    president of Gonzalez Corporation in the Cathay area if the negotiations are a sess!” As she spoke,


    she gazed at the Cunninghams condescendingly, obviously showing off her family’s sess.


    On the contrary, Demi wore a look of disdain. “It’s not that hard to secure an appointment with Leanna.


    She woulde as soon as Matthew gave her a call. This is nothing to be proud of.” However, nobody


    heard what she muttered under her breath.


    Meanwhile, Jonah waved his hand smilingly. “Oh, it’s just a minor position. There’s nothing to brag about.


    Come on, have a seat. We’re all family, so let’s enjoy the feast together!” He sat down at the spot


    opposite to the door after circling around the table. At the same time, he still had his eyes fixed on Sasha


    with a lecherous look in them.


    Chloe didn’t seem to have noticed her husband’s odd behavior as sheughed. “Helen, you should go


    abroad if you have time to spare. You’ll find out that foreign countries are drastically different from


    Cathay. For example, I nearly suffocated as soon as I stepped off the ne. Cathay has poor air quality,


    whereas the air abroad is refreshing. I was worried that I would find it hard to adapt to life abroad back


    then, but you know what? I fell in love with the ce as soon as I got there! Geez, Cathay can’t even


    begin topare with that ce. Cathay is so poor and underdeveloped. Compared to foreign countries,


    this ce is utter hell!”

    Upon hearing that, Hn smiled awkwardly. “Well, that’s not necessarily the case. Cathay has been


    making great progress as ofte.”


    Minerva smirked in response. “Great progress? Aunt Helen, that’s bold of you to make such ims! How


    dare you spew such nonsense without having ever gone abroad? Cathay is at least a hundred years


    behind the West in terms of development. What proof do you have to back your im?”


    That instantly riled the Cunninghams up; they perceived Minerva’s words as a slight. At the same time,


    Matthew wore a frown before making a casual remark. “You’re exaggerating things. If you trace the


    West’s history back to a century ago, you won’t even see cars on the streets. Following that line of logic,


    you wouldn’t even be able to contact us on mobile phones if we really are a century behind them.”


    Being talked back at infuriated Minerva. “What do you mean by that? Why are you getting all riled up


    when I was merely giving an example to illustrate how underdeveloped Cathay is? It’s true that Cathay is


    lagging in terms of economy, and it is so underdeveloped! I don’t see what’s wrong with pointing out the


    truth. Haha, you sureck self-confidence. You won’t be able tomand respect from anybody else if


    you behave like that.”


    Matthew retorted nonchntly, “You have to make sense when you’re giving examples. Otherwise, what


    difference is there between this and boasting?”


    His words amused the Cunninghams, for he was outright mocking Minerva for fabricating lies, which


    visibly irked her. Before she could bite back, Helen stepped in to smooth things over. “Oh, we’re family,


    so let’s not argue about these! Come, give us the menu! We’d like to order our food.”


    After the waiter brought them the menu, Helen handed it to Chloe. “Have a look and order away. You


    must have missed the local cuisine after spending so many years abroad. I suppose you don’t get to


    have local Cathian dishes often, right? You can order whatever you like!”


    Upon hearing that, Chloe dly took the menu. “To be honest, I don’t actually miss local food. As you


    might know, we get to feast on wine andvish meals often while abroad. Now that I’ve returned, I no


    longer feel like having the cheap stuff that we used to have. Come on, Tate, Minnie, take a look and see


    if you have anything that you might want.”


    Tate was still tapping away on his phone. “Just order me a steak.”


    Pouting, Minerva didn’t take the menu either. “Steak? Don’t forget that you’re in Cathay, so don’t ask for


    the impossible! Didn’t Mom used to say that they could only have meat during festive asions? There


    are online articles that indicate that the people of Cathay can’t even afford eggs, so don’t tell me you’re


    expecting that they have steak here? You’re being overly demanding to Aunt Helen’s family!”


    Tate was outraged when he heard that. “What do you suggest that I eat then? I don’t care! I’m not having


    any sh*tty food! I want steak! Don’t offer to buy a meal if you can’t even afford steak!”
