Chapter 146 Disgusting

The Chen family, including Chen Boxu, has been keeping a low profile lately; they simply couldn't avoid it.

Pei Jiuyan is a vengeful person. He had previously cut off several of the Chen family's business lines and caused a lot of trouble for their club, resulting in a sharp decline in the Chen family's income.

Chen Boxu was unwilling, but the rest of the Chen family were afraid and suppressed him to stop him from continuing his reckless behavior.

Therefore, even after Yun Zhaozhao's child was born, Chen Boxu did not show up.

Now everyone in Beijing's social circle knows that he has moved to the Yun family's house. Everyone thinks that he and Yun Zhaozhao have a good chance of getting back together. As for the child, Pei Jiuyan doesn't mind being cuckolded, so others naturally don't care either.

However, Pei Jiuyan had been keeping an eye on Chen Boxu. According to Assistant Qin's description, Chen Boxu was not the type to give up easily.

Tanan paused for a moment, then said, "We haven't found any contact between the two yet. However, Chen Boxu has been involved in trade recently."

"trading?"

Pei Jiuyan pondered for a moment. The Chen family's business had never been about trade, so why would Chen Boxu suddenly want to get involved?

"Keep an eye on it. Tell me immediately if anything happens."

"yes."

Tanan responded and then asked, "Boss, Sangkun contacted me a couple of days ago, wanting to sound out whether we're still doing business this year."

Pei Jiuyan instinctively wanted to ask what kind of business it was, but he quickly realized what he was thinking. He looked up at Tanan and Luo Yi and asked, "What are your thoughts, you two?"

Luo Yi, being a bit of a straightforward person, immediately replied, "Of course we should do it. It's a business with no capital and such high profits. Only a fool wouldn't do it."

Pei Jiuyan's heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't know what kind of business it was, judging from Luo Yi's tone, it probably wasn't anything good.

Tanan, being a more cautious person, thought for a moment and said, "Recently, quite a few people have been keeping an eye on the boss. I think we should just forget about it this year."

Pei Jiuyan didn't speak; his fingers rubbed the wedding ring on his hand.

This was a gesture of deep thought on his part. Neither Tanan nor Luo Yi dared to disturb him. After a while, they heard him say, "Don't do it. Find a way to cut it off. Be careful not to give anyone any leverage against you."

"It's broken?"

Luo Yi and Tanan stared at Pei Jiuyan in shock. Even Tanan, who had just objected, felt a pang of regret. Luo Yi couldn't help but say, "It would be such a waste to break it off. It's a risk-free business. Are you really not going to reconsider?"

"As you've said, we're being closely watched right now, and I don't want any accidents to happen."

Pei Jiuyan's words were somewhat out of character. Luo Yi was about to say something when Pei Jiuyan said, "Right now, all I want to do is take good care of your sister-in-law and the child, understand?"

Upon hearing Pei Jiuyan mention Yun Zhaozhao, Luo Yi fell silent. All of his trusted confidants knew what Yun Zhaozhao meant to Pei Jiuyan.

Several times when Pei Jiuyan was on the verge of death, he would still comfort her and chat with her when Yun Zhaozhao called.

They all knew that Yun Zhaozhao was the boss's precious darling, and no one could touch her.

Tanan thought for a moment and said, "Boss, even if we don't do it, we can't let others benefit from it. Let me think of a way to handle this."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Be careful."

After Tanan and Luo Yi left, Pei Jiuyan frowned. He rubbed his temples, finding it really troublesome that he couldn't remember the past. He also didn't know what they had just been talking about.

However, he had promised Yun Zhaozhao that he would no longer do those things that made people worry, so it was better to end it.

Pei Jiuyan has a strong desire for control; he dislikes anything that he doesn't know.

He asked Tanan and the others to report the situation to him in a timely manner, and then he slowly figured it out.

The two were talking about something related to oil. This guy named Sangkun had so much oil from who-knows-where, but it was obviously not something that could be done openly. His main business was distribution.

Indeed, as Luo Yi said, it was a business with no initial investment.

He was just helping with distribution, yet he got half the profits.

The Pei family's rapid rise to power was also due to these things he did.

The oil was obtained illegally, which was definitely not allowed, but Pei Jiuyan was clever enough to complete a set of legitimate procedures.

Pei Jiuyan came into contact with these things and vaguely learned some of the things he had done before.

Pei Jiuyan has been extremely busy these past few days, and Yun Zhaozhao has been equally busy.

Now that she has given birth, she has no reason to rest anymore. With the real economy struggling, Yun Zhaozhao is trying to lead the company's transformation.

The previous project with the Pei family was only one aspect; the profit wasn't great, but the reputation was more important. Now, she wants to leverage that reputation to transform the company.

She has discussed the transformation with several senior executives and has come up with several plans, but nothing has been finalized yet. The main reason is that their cash flow has been invested in two development projects, so they need to be even more cautious going forward.

Some people suggested starting an overseas trade business, and with logistics becoming increasingly convenient, overseas trade has developed rapidly.

Many people supported this suggestion, including Assistant Zhang, who felt it was the safest option. However, Yun Zhaozhao hesitated to make a decision.

Compared to the physical economy, she was more optimistic about e-commerce. Just as she was struggling with this decision, Assistant Zhang and a few others suggested that she go and talk to someone about trade.

Although Yun Zhaozhao had made up her mind, she still decided to go and see, but she did not expect to run into Chen Boxu.

"Zhaozhao, it's been a long time."

Chen Boxu greeted Yun Zhaozhao with a smile, "What? Is your Yun family also interested in trade? I'm planning to invest in this area recently, how about we cooperate?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll trick me."

Yun Zhaozhao wouldn't be so foolish as to cooperate with Chen Boxu.

If she had any interest in this area before, she had completely given up on it after Chen Boxu joined.

Chen Boxu was so angry he laughed: "I tricked you? Who tricked whom between us?"

He's practically being screwed over by Yun Zhaozhao, okay?

"You can't say that. You were the one who went out of your way to make it happen."

Yun Zhaozhao wasn't falling for it. This person clearly wanted to compete with Pei Jiuyan all along, and using her as an excuse was really shameless.

Chen Boxu's face darkened upon hearing this, but he quickly laughed again: "It's all in the past. Haven't you noticed how well-behaved I've been lately? By the way, I heard you've already had your child, and Pei Jiuyan still doesn't know the truth?"

Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him and said, "If you want to tell him, I don't mind."

Now that Pei Jiuyan isn't so crazy anymore, she's not worried at all. Besides, she's certain that Chen Boxu won't tell Pei Jiuyan about this.

What could be more amusing than having your own child right in front of you, and not knowing it?

Chen Boxu truly thought that way. He would never tell Pei Jiuyan that the child was his biological son, even if it meant his death. He would make Pei Jiuyan feel disgusted for the rest of her life.
