Zheng He clenched his teeth, resisting the temptation of a âbig deal,â and shouted, âNegotiate my ass! Donât think you can fool me! Youâre talking about President Xu, well I am President Zheng!â
No âpresidentâ would fool him!
After speaking, fearing that he couldnât control his greed, he immediately hung up the phone.
Once the call was ended, there was no chance for him to be swayed anymore!
Itâs just such a pity, a big deal gone just like that, a missed opportunity to become a big boss⦠Of course, it might have also been a chance to be scammed.
At Zheng Heâs end, he fiercely clenched his teeth trying to control himself from falling into the trap, while Xu Nianying on the other end was completely bewildered.
Assistant had called Zheng He according to Xu Nianyingâs instructions, using speakerphone, so Xu Nianying could hear everything.
The assistant looked up nervously at Xu Nianyingâs scowling face, thinking that Zheng He really had a death wish to talk to the big boss like that!
Doesnât he know whose paycheck heâs taking?
Assistant cautiously asked, âPresident Xu⦠should I call him again?â
Xu Nianyingâs face was dark, and he coldly said, âCall.â
The assistant frowned slightly.
It was the first time he saw President Xu so concerned about a man.
Previously, others were always eager to please President Xu who was dismissive, but now he seemed so tolerant and patient with a man who did not know his place.
And it was a well-known unlucky fool!
The assistant couldnât understand what President Xu was thinking, to proactively sign and even prioritize a naturally jinxed fool!
The assistant didnât understand President Xu, but he respected the year-end bonus.
So he dialed Zheng Heâs number again, but the next three times, all he heard were automated voices.
The assistant looked at President Xu, swallowed hard, and said hesitantly, âPresident Xu, it seems like weâve been blockedâ¦â
It was the first time anyone dared to block their President Xu.
That was audacious!
The assistant watched as President Xuâs face turned increasingly grim as if ready to kill, and he silently sent a prayer for Zheng He.
Seeing that Xu Nianying didnât speak, the assistant quietly reminded, âPresident Xuâ¦â
Xu Nianying said, âChange the phone and call again!â
After saying this, Xu Nianying continued to call Hu Yun.
Two days ago, Xu Nianying was taken away by the police for cooperation in an investigation of a kidnapping case.
Xu Nianying had told the police everything he knew, except for the real reason behind Hu Qifengâs kidnapping.
Back then, when Hu Qifeng was caught, he personally admitted that he had no grievances with the Xu Family and merely acted out of greed, making a mistake in a moment of confusion.
He did not reveal that he was forced to kidnap Xu Nianying due to a failed business deal with the Xu Family.
Because at that time, the Xu Family had threatened Hu Qifeng using his daughter, forcing him to hide part of the truth.
Back then, the case concluded with full evidence. As long as Xu Nianying or anyone from the Xu family didnât speak out, Hu Qifengâs kidnapping case would just be written off as Hu Qifengâs mistake and would not reveal any dubious business competition schemes coordinated between Hu Qifeng and the Xu family.
However, under these circumstances, Hu Yun must drop the current case; otherwise, if the police restarted the investigation with earnest and were to dig into Chen Youqing and Chen Xixiâs side, given Chen Xixiâs current influence on the internet and Zhou Jinyuan adding fuel to the fire, it could likely stir up another significant controversy.
If it were just unfair business competition thatâd be fine, but this case also involved a murder, which would not be easy to settle.
Blissfully unaware, Hu Yun was still at the company, focused on his class, his phone on silent, completely missing Xu Nianyingâs calls.
Xu Nianyingâs face grew even stonier.
These two fools really werenât making things easy for him!
He wondered what he was thinking back then, using someone with a grudge against Chen Xixi to deal with her.
Looking at it now, it felt like neither of the two fools could be relied upon!
At the police station.
Chen Youqing and Hu Qifeng both arrived at the police station.
Again, because of Hu Yunâs police report, to cooperate with the investigation.
Chen Youqing did not come alone.
A black Bentley car stopped by the road, a slender figure stepped out, the man dressed in a well-tailored black suit, exuding an air of nobility.
He slightly turned to the side, patiently waiting for the person in the car to get down.
After getting off, Chen Youqing looked at the man standing next to him and nodded with a smile, âThank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhou.â
Zhou Jinyuanâs lips curved slightly, âItâs what I should do, Uncle Chen. After you go in, just tell the whole truth. With me here, you donât need to worry, the Xu Family wonât dare to make a move against your family.â
Two days ago, when Chen Youqing was at home washing his beloved car, Zhou Jinyuan came to visit.
Initially, Chen Youqing thought that the Xu Family had sent someone to warn him again.
But it turned out not to be the case.
After introducing himself and his purpose, Zhou Jinyuan invited Chen Youqing to dinner, throughout which Zhou Jinyuan was completely courteous and unpretentious, so after a few rounds of drinks, Chen Youqing began to treat Zhou Jinyuan like a brother.
As the saying goes, oneâs true nature is revealed through drinking.
By the end of the meal, Chen Youqing was exceptionally pleased with Zhou Jinyuan.
Though Chen Youqing was older, he was not muddled.
Being pleased with someone doesnât mean one should completely let down their guard.
Chen Youqing looked at Zhou Jinyuan, and asked seriously, âWhat exactly do you want by helping our family?â
âIâve said it before, I just donât like the Xu Familyâs way of doing things, Uncle Chen, you donât need to feel pressured.â
âAs far as I know, your family has a good relationship with the Xu family.â
âIn the business world, there are only permanent interests, no permanent friends. Uncle Chen should understand this better than I do.â
Chen Youqing was silent for two seconds before speaking again, âHow can I trust you to fully protect our family? What if you change your mind halfway?â
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled lightly, speaking slowly and deliberately, âIf Uncle Chen doesnât trust me, I can write a contract, or, thereâs a better methodâ¦â
Chen Youqing asked curiously, âWhat method?â
Zhou Jinyuan looked at Chen Youqing and said word by word, âWe become a real family.â
Chen Youqing frowned, pondering Zhou Jinyuanâs words, âA real family?â
âYes.â
âWould your parents agree?â
âWhat I decide, no one can change.â
Chen Youqing smiled satisfactorily, patted Zhou Jinyuan on the shoulder, and said, âAlright, then bring your household registration book later, transfer it under my familyâs registration, and change your name to Chen Jinyuan. Also, I have a daughter named Chen Xixi, you probably know about her, from now on she will be your stepsister, if possible, take some time to look after her well.â
Zhou Jinyuan: â?â
After Chen Youqing finished speaking with a smile, he turned and walked into the police station.
Zhou Jinyuan watched Chen Youqingâs departing figure, and after a moment, he turned his head and chuckled.
Stepsister from a different father and mother?
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly understood why Chen Xixiâs thought process was so peculiar.
It turns out to be a family inheritanceâ¦
Chen Xixi changing his first name, Chen Xixiâs father changing his surname, truly a worthy father-daughter duo.
Inside the car, Assistant Xu, who had been listening to the whole conversation, internally exclaimed, lovers finally becoming siblings came true!
â¦
Following the rise in Chen Xixiâs popularity, she became extremely busy with work.
She had just finished a shoot, when she received a message from wealthy Aunt Zhen: âXixi, are you busy these days?â
Chen Xixi: âA bit busy, whatâs up, Auntie? Do you want me to join your son for dinner?â
Wealthy Aunt Zhen: âNo.â
Wealthy Aunt Zhen: âPictureâ
Wealthy Aunt Zhen: âTake a look for me, Xixi, is this egg-selling company reliable, or is it a pyramid scheme?â
