"Okay, what I want to ask is, did Li Jing really steal the company's secrets, such as the formula?" Cao Ying asked.

Tang Xiaobao's smile faded, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Yes."

"It is indeed so."

Cao Ying murmured, "It's really so decisive to kill the donkey after it's done its job."

Tang Xiaobao was silent.

He knew who Cao Ying was talking about, but from his perspective, there were some things that could not be said too clearly.

If you can play dumb, then play dumb.

But Cao Ying didn't give him a chance to play dumb and asked, "So, do you know who she belongs to? Do you also know who is the murderer behind this? Also, when I was investigating Li Jing's murder, I met several experts. Were they sent by you?"

"I guess so." Tang Xiaobao admitted, "As for who the murderer is, I don't know, but I have some suspicions. We all feel that Li Jing's death was quite unjust. Sister Chen feels very guilty about this and has repeatedly told me that she wants an explanation for Li Jing. I think I will do it."

"I really want to thank you this time," Cao Ying said seriously, "because on this point, our positions are the same."

Tang Xiaobao glanced at Cao Ying and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After all, she was a member of the Cao family, and what she said really surprised him.

Cao Ying was indeed a smart woman. She seemed to see through Tang Xiaobao's thoughts at a glance. She calmly stated her attitude: "You are right. I am me, and the Cao family is the Cao family. At least for now."

"But you are still a member of the Cao family after all, so I think it's best if you don't interfere too much in this matter, lest you get caught in a dilemma later."

Tang Xiaobao was indeed very frank.

Cao Ying's eyes were filled with anger as she spoke, "But what you don't know is that Li Jing and I are as close as sisters. We've been like sisters since we were little. If I don't do something for her, I'll never feel at peace. Furthermore, I feel like their actions have crossed my boundaries. Shouldn't there be some boundaries in life and work?"

Tang Xiaobao was speechless.

Regardless of whether Cao Ying really thought so, her attitude touched Tang Xiaobao deeply.

The two of them sat there blankly, not speaking for a long time.

Speaking of Li Jing, this is indeed a heavy topic.

After a long while, Cao Ying suddenly asked again, "By the way, I heard that Cao Pingzhi came to see you, but you didn't meet him. Even the Bawan Expressway project excluded the Cao family. Can I take this as a signal that our Cao Group will definitely not get the domestic agency next time, right?"

This question is very direct.

Tang Xiaobao was not surprised.

He was just waiting to discuss this issue, always waiting.

So, he answered Cao Ying's question almost without hesitation.

"Exclusive agency is definitely impossible. You know the profit best. This year, we will divide the country into several sales areas. This is the trend. I think you can understand. As for whether the Cao family will have opportunities for cooperation in the future, what I want to ask is, do you need it? If you need it, I can give you the last area, not to your company." Tang Xiaobao said very directly.

Cao Ying laughed and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tang Xiaobao was a little confused.

Looking at Cao Ying, Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Cao, what are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Cao Ying raised her head and said seriously, "I don't need the agency this year, and you don't have to give it to our company for my sake."

"Why?" Tang Xiaobao was stunned.

Although he and Cao Jianguo were destined to fall out, if Cao Ying asked him for help, he would definitely have to consider her feelings. This face had to be given, and Chen Mengyao probably understood it.

Cao Ying is a member of the Cao family after all. Aren't those who come from big families most concerned about the interests of the family? What does she mean by this?

"Because I don't want to give it to them," Cao Ying said. "And they don't deserve this piece of cake. Also, you might not know this, but I'm no longer in Jiangnan City. I'll be going to Yanjing soon. From now on, I'll be in charge of Yanjing's real estate business. The entire real estate sector will be under my responsibility."

Tang Xiaobao nodded: "The country wants to build a special zone outside Yanjing, it's normal for you to take a fancy to it."

"You may still not understand what I mean."

Tang Xiaobao exclaimed and looked at Cao Ying with some curiosity.

Cao Ying said, "From now on, the Cao Group is the Cao Group and has nothing to do with me. I will firmly grasp the real estate business. Sooner or later, I will control the entire Cao family."

ah?

Tang Xiaobao cried out again.

This time, he was truly shocked.

Is Cao Ying trying to seize power?

Is the Cao Group about to have an internal conflict?

"I have made up my mind. Will you help me?"

Cao Ying asked directly. She stared into Tang Xiaobao's eyes, without blinking, as if she wanted to see through Tang Xiaobao's true thoughts.

Will you help me?

Cao Ying's expression was calm, but her eyes still betrayed her.

Deep in her eyes, there was a hint of hope and a hint of uneasiness.

From her point of view, there was no reason for Tang Xiaobao to help her.

From Tang Xiaobao's perspective, there is no reason to help her either.

Tang Xiaobao seemed a little hesitant.

In fact, he thought so too.

Just looking at Cao Ying's eyes, he softened his heart and nodded: "Okay, I will help you, as much as possible!"
