Chapter 136 Speak of the devil and he shall appear

Four years ago, Bo Siye rescued her from the abandoned house and helped her bribe a doctor to make a false report, allowing her to live a few years of peaceful life with her child.

Although it's now clear that Shen Jiheng didn't abandon her intentionally back then; it was all Bai Xue's scheme.

Han Xi always remembered Bo Siye's kindness to her.

Now that I know he's in trouble, I'll definitely do everything I can to help.

Seeing her sincerity, Bo Siye couldn't refuse and said helplessly, "I also want to figure out what Shen Jiheng is trying to do and what conditions he needs to give me the land."

If Bo Siye were to conduct the talks, the outcome would be predictable: he would be put in a difficult position.

If Han Xi had stepped in, the situation would definitely have been different.

Han Xi didn't dare to make any promises to him, but if it was really because of her that Bo Siye was implicated, she would definitely make Shen Jiheng return the things.

"Leave this to me. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Bo Siye's eyes were full of gratitude: "Han Xi, thank you so much."

Han Xi shook her head, feeling guilty towards him instead.

In the afternoon, the situation regarding Han Xi's scandals began to take a turn. After the public relations department released the evidence, all the blame was directed at Han Xiao.

Han Xiao dared not act recklessly again and followed her instructions to openly and honestly tell her everything. However, it was foreseeable that she would be met with a barrage of insults.

Even being scolded is better than being kicked out after Han Yue discovers her identity.

Han Xiao isn't stupid. Now that her mother is in prison and she has a young brother to take care of, she can't let her be a burden. She definitely needs Han Yue to take care of her.

If Han Yue finds out that neither of them are his biological siblings, given his personality, he will definitely kick them out and take back everything they own.

Han Xiao's current thought is to settle these matters and then leave Yucheng with Han Yue, getting away from that terrifying woman, Han Xi.

In the president's office of the Shen Group, Qin Chuan stood behind Shen Jiheng, watching him review documents with trepidation.

Today, Shen Jiheng's mood was very low, and anyone who made even the slightest mistake was severely reprimanded by him.

Without a doubt, the person who could turn him into this must be Han Xi.

Qin Chuan only wished that the fire would burn him instead.

"What a bastard!"

Shen Jiheng suddenly threw the document in his hand on the ground, and Qin Chuan hurriedly picked it up.

"What's wrong, CEO? Where did things go wrong? I'll call the person in charge here."

Shen Jiheng said angrily, "All she talks about is Bo Siye; she doesn't respect me at all."

So that's what it was about. Qin Chuan patiently comforted her: "President, actually your relationship with Miss Han has already progressed. Besides, if she and Mr. Bo really had something going on, they wouldn't have waited until now."

Shen Jiheng rolled his eyes at him unhappily. Was this what he wanted to hear?

Qin Chuan said awkwardly, "President, I think Miss Han's actions better demonstrate that she has feelings for you."

Shen Jiheng liked hearing this, but flattery had no effect on him.

"How did you figure that out?"

"President, think about it. Miss Han used to hate you to the core, but now she takes the initiative to care about you and won't drive you away anymore. This shows that she cares about you a lot. And it's precisely because she has you in her heart that she has been unable to accept Bo Siye."

Shen Jiheng was amused by these words, "You slap me first and then give me a piece of candy."

Qin Chuan grinned and said, "Don't be angry. There were too many things that happened back then, and I'm just giving a brief overview. As long as the president is more patient, I believe that in time he will definitely be able to win her over."

Shen Jiheng sighed inwardly, fearing that Han Xi's heart was too hard to be warmed.

"Knock knock..."

A knock sounded at the door, and Shen Jiheng turned his head. Speak of the devil, and he appears.

Qin Chuan felt a sense of relief upon seeing Han Xi and went up to greet him warmly.

"Miss Han is here. Please have a seat. I'll make you some coffee myself."

Han Xi said politely, "No need for that, just prepare a glass of water for me."

Qin Chuan looked at Shen Jiheng and said with a stern face, "Prepare coffee and snacks, and also instruct that no one is allowed to disturb us."

Han Xi frowned as she listened. She had come here to discuss business, but it seemed like something of utmost importance had come up to Shen Jiheng.

Before she could say anything more, Shen Jiheng waved Qin Chuan away, leaving only the two of them.

"Han Xi, I've seen the reports online. Your public relations department is quite efficient."

"Everyone took it seriously, which is why it was resolved in a timely manner. I've come here today to ask you about..."

"What do you think of the party I proposed today? I've already asked Qin Chuan to make the preparations. You can't let everyone down."

Shen Jiheng intentionally interrupted her; when the two were alone, he didn't want to hear Han Xi mention that person.

Han Xi had carefully considered his suggestion on the way, and it was indeed beneficial for communication between the senior executives of the two companies.

Now that she has officially taken over the group, she should hold an event to liven things up. This time, she took advantage of the party hosted by Shen Jiheng to let everyone relax.

“I’ve thought about it and you’re right. It’s definitely necessary to have a discussion. I’ll have the company arrange for someone to help you prepare.”

Hearing her agree, Shen Jiheng laughed heartily, feeling that he was one step closer to her.

Han Xi then added, "I came mainly to ask you why you intercepted the land that Si Ye and the developer had agreed upon."

The smile on Shen Jiheng's face disappeared; she still cared so much about Bo Siye.

“You’ve never been involved in company affairs before, but you’re making an exception for him now.”

"I just want to find out if this has anything to do with me. Do you want to make things difficult for him because of me?"

Shen Jiheng's gaze sharpened, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

He only broke Bo Siye's contract because of Han Xi.

He didn't want this person to establish his own organization in Chongqing, nor did he want him to gain a foothold in the country. Ideally, he would just get out of the country forever and never come back.

If Bo Siye were to gain a foothold in Chongqing, wouldn't that be sowing the seeds of future trouble? Shen Jiheng was certainly not that foolish. No matter what this person wanted to do, as long as he was around, he wouldn't succeed.

"That's not how it is. This land has always been part of the Shen Group's plans. I want to build a large shopping mall on it. I just didn't expect that he would also take a liking to it and even sign an agreement with the vice president."

Han Xi looked at him with some skepticism; these words didn't seem very convincing.

Shen Jiheng added, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask the developer. I had a verbal agreement with their president last year. It was Bo Si who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Shen Jiheng's words were so certain that he didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that Bo Siye really made a mistake?

“I remember your company owns a lot of land. Do you really need this one? This land is very important to him. Could you give it to him?”
