Chapter 263 Time to get a mahjong table ready!

Yin Meng gave him a thumbs up! "CEO Jiang is awesome!"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Jinghuai's handsome face stiffened. He hadn't expected that the little woman who always followed him so closely would be so ruthless in her schemes!

Seeing the man remain silent, Jiang Shiyuan looked down at the building and chuckled softly:

"What? Mr. Xie is reluctant to part with it?"

"Jiang Shiyuan, in broad daylight, with a downpour about to begin, you're making people kneel outside. You're heartless." Xie Jinghuai forced a cold laugh through his teeth.

He lowered his voice, but the Lin mother and daughter still heard it and their expressions changed!

"What... Xiaoyuan wants me to kneel outside and apologize to her? She's humiliating me like this... she might as well just kill me!"

Liu Nianrou clutched her chest, sobbing so hard she slumped to the ground. If it weren't for the last vestiges of her refined lady image, she would have thrown a tantrum on the ground, yelling, "I might as well hang myself in front of their company!"

The next second, a thunderclap struck, followed by a torrential downpour, and white smoke rose from the ground.

It was as if even God couldn't stand by and watch this heartless woman.

"Brother Jinghuai! It's pouring rain and a fierce wind outside, and my mother's health isn't good to begin with... How could my sister be so heartless?!"

Lin Zhixin helped Liu Nianrou up, and the two of them looked incredibly pitiful. "My mother knows she was wrong and is willing to apologize to her. She can just say what compensation she wants. Why use such insidious methods to torture her?"

So, Jiang Shiyuan is willing to see people kneel...? Then I'll kneel before her in place of my mother! After all, what she really wants to see is me kneeling before her, isn't it?!

As she spoke, Lin Zhixin's eyes reddened, and she made a move to rush out the door.

Liu Nianrou exclaimed in surprise, "Xinxin! You're not feeling well, you can't do this!"

Just then, Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes darkened, and he suddenly grabbed Lin Zhixin's slender wrist, pulling her back to him.

Lin Zhixin leaned forward, resting against the man's firm chest, and tears streamed down her face at just the right moment, enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Coincidentally, a line of company employees just walked in from outside and saw the ambiguous scene between the man and woman. They all turned their heads and started whispering among themselves:

"Oh my! Isn't that Mr. Xie from the Xie Group? Who is the woman in his arms? She's crying so pitifully."

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's the daughter of the chairman of Yuntu Oriental. The two of them are already a well-known couple!"

"They're such a perfect match! They should just get married right now!"

"But what's so strange is that Mr. Xie would happen to appear in our godforsaken company? It's an honor to have you here!"

"It was impossible before, but now it's possible! Our newly appointed female CEO is incredibly capable! Last time, she personally visited the workshop to provide guidance. Her professional skills are outstanding, and she explained everything clearly, leaving us completely stunned."

I believe that more and more influential figures will have faith in Eternal in the future, and I am confident!

Xie Jinghuai overheard these compliments.

He frowned, feeling that the Jiang Shiyuan described by this person was not the same person he knew as his wife who only knew how to cook, raise children, and had an empty head.

Does Jiang Shiyuan have that ability?

He couldn't believe it.

After all, she had always seemed dull and clumsy over the past five years, and she didn't have a high level of education. Although she graduated from Peking University, she didn't pursue further studies. How could she possibly master scientific research overnight?

It's likely just all show and no substance, mere empty talk.

Jiang Shiyuan could hear the Lin family mother and daughter crying and making a scene clearly on the other end of the phone.

She scoffed lightly, turned around and walked back to the table to sit down gracefully. "Since Mr. Xie can't bear to see Mrs. Lin suffer such a great injustice, and can't show any sincerity in admitting his mistake, then don't talk to me about such bullshit as an apology."

Furthermore, this is Yongheng Technology's office space, not a stage for performances. Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from loitering. If Mr. Xie doesn't leave soon, I'll have to kick you out. Don't embarrass the Xie and Lin families."

After saying that, Jiang Shiyuan hung up coldly, not giving Xie Jinghuai a chance to speak.

The man was rebuffed, and a surge of resentment filled his chest. His jawline was taut, as if it might snap at any moment.

“Brother Jinghuai, our Lin family is to blame for this, and I am willing to take the punishment in place of my mother.”

Lin Zhixin sobbed, stroking the suit jacket that was soaked with her tears, "I'll do anything as long as my sister can forgive us."

Xie Jinghuai pushed her away subtly, his voice muffled, "You and Madam Lin should go back first."

Lin Zhixin raised her tear-streaked face, "Brother Jinghuai, what about you?"

Xie Jinghuai's eyes shone brightly, igniting a fierce competitive spirit:

“I will stay. Today, I must see Jiang Shiyuan.”

Lin Zhixin's breath hitched.

The man in front of her was looking at her, yet it was as if he was looking through her at the woman she hated to the core.

Suddenly, the roar of a luxury car engine came from outside the company gate.

Everyone, including Xie Jinghuai, looked in the direction of the sound—

A completely black Maybach was parked steadily in front of the door.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and strong man got out of the passenger seat and opened a huge black umbrella with a snap.

Upon seeing the face clearly, Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes instantly darkened with gloom.

She is Fu Chenzhou's secretary, Xing Zhen.

Xing Zhen opened the back door and stood upright and respectfully to the side, holding a black umbrella above the door. He remained expressionless, completely exposed to the heavy rain, and was soaked through in just a few seconds.

The next moment, an incredibly long leg stepped off the car, the gleaming high-end leather shoes splashing water everywhere as they stepped into the rain.

Fu Chenzhou stepped out of the car gracefully. His tall and imposing figure remained unmoved even in the raging storm. His fair and handsome face was like a blank space in a Chinese ink painting, full of artistic conception, inspiring endless imagination.

"Frog! So handsome! Who is this deity?!"

"He's just as handsome as CEO Xie! I was thinking of taking the day off because of the bad weather, but thank goodness I didn't, coming here was the right decision!"

The automatic door opened, and Fu Chenzhou strode forward. Xing Zhen deftly closed her umbrella behind him and handed the soaking wet umbrella to the security guard.

Mr. Fu, except for the soles of his shoes, was dry from head to toe, exuding an air of natural nobility.

“Fu Chenzhou.” Xie Jinghuai stared intently at him, his throat dry.

"What a coincidence to run into President Xie." Fu Chenzhou's dark eyes curved slightly as he put one hand in his pocket.

With his other hand, he showed no intention of shaking hands with Xie Jinghuai.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Jinghuai's eyes were icy cold, revealing his vigilance.

"I'm looking for General Manager Jiang."

Fu Chenzhou glanced casually at the sobbing Lin family mother and daughter, and raised a slight lip, "What is President Xie doing bringing his whole family here? Is it a family gathering? Is this a suitable place?"

Xie Jinghuai's jawline was taut and sharp.

Two outstanding and dazzling men faced off, the atmosphere tense and ready to clash.

Lin Zhixin opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

She had a vague feeling that the current situation was beyond her control, and intervening at this time might backfire.

Fu Chenzhou had no intention of staring at a grown man; he glanced indifferently at Xing Zhen.

Just then, the receptionist walked over.

"Hello, this is Fu Chenzhou from our Lighttrack Ventures. Mr. Fu would like to meet with your company's General Manager Jiang." Xing Zhen greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Does Mr. Fu have an appointment?"

"No."

"I'm very sorry, but our CEO Jiang has a set rule that we cannot meet without an appointment."

Seeing that Fu Chenzhou had also been turned away, Xie Jinghuai's lips curled into a smug smile.

If he can't see someone, then Fu Chenzhou shouldn't even think about seeing him either; that's only fair.

"President Fu, what do you think of this..." Xing Zhen looked troubled.

However, Fu Chenzhou remained calm and composed, only smiling slightly.

“Mr. Jiang is busy, that’s alright, I can wait.”

Xie Jinghuai threw a hard, solid punch, clearly intending to hit someone.

Lin Zhixin was consumed by jealousy!

Fu Chong stood up for that bitch, Xie Jinghuai withdrew his investment for that bitch, and Fu Chenzhou then eagerly offered himself up.

There are only a handful of influential people in Beijing, so why do they all revolve around Jiang Shiyuan? Why should they?

"Holy crap... what kind of day is this today?!"

Suddenly, another clear and familiar voice rang out.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Zhantang, dressed in a white suit, also walked into the gate of Eternal Technology!

"Young Master Chen?!" The Lin family mother and daughter were taken aback.

Fu Chenzhou narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly.

"Ah Tang? What are you doing here, kid?" Xie Jinghuai rushed in front of Shen Zhantang, his voice low and hoarse.

"Wait... it's fine if you're here, but why is Fu Chenzhou here too? We're one short for mahjong, are we?"

Shen Zhantang raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, looking speechless. "I should have checked the almanac before I went out today. Not only was the weather bad, but I also ran into you. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come."

Xie Jinghuai raised an eyebrow. "Stop talking nonsense and tell me, what brings you to Eternal?"

Shen Zhantang pursed his lips, momentarily unsure how to begin.

Today, he wanted to talk to Jiang Shiyuan about investment. A small, token offer, just to save this small company that was on the verge of collapse.

He did this because he was asked to do so by Su Xier.

Going through the group's procedures and having it discussed at a meeting would definitely not be approved by his father. So he thought of privately approaching Jiang Shiyuan, taking some of his own savings, and investing in a company. This way, he could explain things to Su Xier without alarming his father—a win-win situation.

Who would have thought we'd run into those two? What bad luck!

Just as Shen Zhantang was carefully considering his words, Yin Meng walked up to them expressionlessly:

"President Fu."

Fu Chenzhou turned his gaze and smiled.

Yin Mengyi smiled and respectfully said, "President Jiang would like to invite you upstairs for a detailed discussion."
