"Xie Junyang contacted you privately? Then why didn't you mention it to me? Qin Shengyi, you're really something, getting more and more capable!"

Qin Shengyi frowned involuntarily at the sarcastic tone. She had chosen to keep it a secret precisely because she knew they would react this way.

I thought she could handle this matter well, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Since things have come to this, you should go back to Chengdu first!"

Qin Shengyi unconsciously resisted, "No, the financing isn't finished yet..."

"Don't use that as an excuse!" Jiang Zhengyu glared at him, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Just have my uncle assign someone else to handle things here."

Ouyang Ming, the president of AC Group, is actually Shengyi's father, and thus his maternal uncle.

The reason Sheng Yi's true background was deliberately concealed was to avoid her getting involved in unnecessary trouble. But now, not only Xie Huan Yu, but Xie Jun Yang has also come looking for trouble with Sheng Yi...

If his uncle found out about this, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but shudder, realizing that he himself would likely be held responsible.

Because his wife almost suffered a difficult childbirth and severe bleeding when she gave birth to Shengyi, Mr. Ouyang, who dotes on his wife, decided to let their daughter take her mother's traits.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Qin Shengyi didn't dare to say anything more, and secretly pouted unhappily.

She knew that Zhengyu wanted him to go back because he was afraid that the Xie family would keep causing trouble for her, but seeing that the feud between Yanshu and the Xie family was still unresolved, she didn't want to go back like this.

There was a moment of silence, until a familiar bell rang.

Seeing his uncle's name on the screen, Jiang Zhengyu felt a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before swiping to answer the call.

"Hey, Uncle!"

"Zhengyu, are you not busy right now? Is Shengyi with you?"

Jiang Zhengyu was about to answer when he first felt Sheng Yi's pleading gaze. His heart softened, and he sighed almost imperceptibly before speaking.

"No, I'm at the law firm looking at case files right now. Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I heard that a prominent family in your capital has been getting quite close to the young master of the Zhou family lately. Something's definitely up. I suspect things might get a little unsettled in the capital soon. Be careful to protect your sister!"

"Once the financing is finished, I'll arrange for her to return to Chengdu!"

How did my father get the news so quickly?

Qin Shengyi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and a hint of tension, barely perceptible, appeared on his face.

However, judging from these words, her father was unaware of her connection with the Xie family father and daughter. Only after confirming this did she breathe a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with thoughtfulness.

"Okay, Uncle, I understand. I'll keep an eye on Shengyi!"

The two chatted about other things for a few more minutes before ending the call. Jiang Zhengyu subconsciously looked up at the person in front of him.

"Did you hear that? Your uncle has already received it..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Qin Shengyi interrupted without saying a word, saying, "My dad said he wants me to go back after the financing is finished. You can't do things your own way!"

Jiang Zhengyu was caught off guard and choked for a moment. Looking at the other person's angry expression, he couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I can spare you from being forced to return, but if anything happens afterward, you absolutely cannot hide it from me!"

"I……"

“That’s not necessarily true. Representative Qin has some big ideas now,” a cool voice suddenly interrupted. Xu Yanshu walked straight to the empty seat and sat down, then explained to himself, “I just happened to be passing by and saw your car parked outside, so I came in to try my luck!”

Was it necessary to ridicule her like that?

Qin Shengyi muttered to himself, while guiltily avoiding Xu Yanshu's gaze.

Seeing his younger sister with her head down like a quail, Jiang Zhengyu frowned unhappily and couldn't help but defend her, saying, "You're not right to talk like that. Shengyi, isn't this all for your own good?"

"If you're unhappy about this, you should go and settle the score with Xie Junyang!"

Although he was also angry at Sheng Yi for acting on her own initiative in this matter, he knew that she agreed to this territorial concession and reparations because she didn't want to put Xu Yanshu in a difficult position again, and as a party involved, he had no right to condemn Sheng Yi.

Knowing when to stop, Xu Yanshu immediately abandoned his teasing intentions. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I've already given him a proper response. The old fox shouldn't make any more moves for the time being!"

He was already being held hostage by the kidnapping incident from years ago, and now Huang Dongsheng has personally called to give him a heads-up. Given his fear of Huang Dongsheng, he will certainly not dare to make any further rash moves in the short term.

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Yanshu turned to Sheng Yi sitting beside him and explained gently, "Alright, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried you'd suffer at Xie Junyang's hands!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shengyi nodded in understanding, and his awkward mood gradually eased. Fortunately, Brother Yan Shu was not really angry with him because of this.

The unpleasant atmosphere gradually eased. Jiang Zhengyu, recalling what Xu Yanshu had just said, raised an eyebrow with interest and asked, "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious how you responded to Xie Junyang!"

“I went to see Huang Dongsheng and briefly explained the whole story to him. Then Huang Dongsheng personally called Xie Junyang.”

Who is Huang Dongsheng?

Qin Shengyi was completely confused, but seeing the serious expressions on both of their faces, he didn't want to interrupt them.

Cough cough cough—

Startled, Jiang Zhengyu coughed violently. He looked up at Xu Yanshu in disbelief, and after confirming that the other party was not joking with him, he felt even more puzzled.

"I remember you said before that you didn't have much contact with this Chairman Huang!"

“Yes, we haven’t really interacted much. I visited him yesterday just to give it a try,” Xu Yanshu nodded readily and replied, a thoughtful look in his eyes. “I didn’t expect him to offer his help.”

“In addition, he also said that I could come to him if I needed anything, and invited me to accompany him to pay respects to his wife.”

This is definitely an unexpected bonus!

Jiang Zhengyu's eyes suddenly lit up. After He Wen mentioned it, he had also privately looked into Huang Dongsheng and found that the man was far more influential than he had imagined. He also seemed to have some connections with his uncle in private.

“Yan Shu, I know you have your own principles for dealing with people, but everyone looks out for themselves, and it’s never a bad thing to have connections.”

Xu Yanshu quickly understood the profound meaning behind this statement, and he nodded in deep agreement, "Since Chairman Huang is willing to give me such an opportunity, I will definitely want to get to know him better in the future."
