"Zhang Xiaoxiao, you didn't expect this, did you? You wanted to climb the social ladder and become a phoenix, but unfortunately, they don't take you seriously at all. They're just playing around with you."
"Ten thousand yuan for selling yourself, haha, you're trying to hide it from everyone, but I'll do the opposite. I'll make sure that the disgusting thing you did is known to everyone at Yanda University."
When Zhang Xiaoxiao put away the money and returned to campus...
A figure walked out from not far away. This person was none other than Yang Meng, Zhang Xiaoxiao's former roommate, good classmate and best friend.
However, at this moment, Yang Meng's face was filled with a cold smile and resentment.
She and Wang Rui could never go back to the way things were. She regretted listening to Zhang Xiaoxiao back then, which caused her to miss out on Wang Rui, a potential catch. Yang Meng was filled with regret and blamed Zhang Xiaoxiao for everything. She happened to overhear Zhang Xiaoxiao's conversation with Li Xiaolong's bodyguard today and guessed that Zhang Xiaoxiao had been dumped and received some compensation.
Yang Meng decided to use this incident to take revenge on Zhang Xiaoxiao and ruin her reputation.
...
"Li Xiaolong wants us to attend an economic forum?"
"To be precise, he invited us to watch a show. He planned to embarrass Zhou Chen in public, bring him down from his pedestal, and possibly even bankrupt him on the spot. Of course, we could not miss such a good show."
"Won't he fail again this time?"
“I don’t think so. This is a large-scale economic forum. If he loses to Zhou Chen in public, he will definitely go all out to do business in the mainland in the future. Moreover, he also said that we can make money with him. He gave me a phone number to open an overseas account for stock investment. He said that if we follow him, we can make a profit. If I’m not mistaken, he probably wants to settle things with Zhou Chen in the stock market and make Zhou Chen bet his entire fortune.”
After Zhou Ling finished her call with Li Xiaolong, she shared her analysis and opinions with Zhao Kun.
Since his humiliating departure from that banquet, Li Xiaolong had remained silent. The couple knew he was waiting for an opportunity, and sure enough, they received another message from him.
"Brother Kun, Xiao Ya's second surgery is over. I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to gamble with the remaining money. What do you think? If we win, we'll turn our lives around and our net worth will skyrocket."
“I have an idea that can ensure we won’t lose money under any circumstances.”
Zhao Kun's expression flashed, and he suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately pressed for details. After listening to Zhao Kun's description, Zhou Ling was greatly shocked. After thinking for a moment, she decided to agree to do as Zhao Kun suggested.
On the other end,
When Zhou Chuan learned that Zhou Na had appeared at the economic forum as a volunteer, he remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he mentioned that Zhou Ling had said she would take him to the economic forum.
"Zhou Chen publicly stated that he would go, and I think Li Xiaolong will definitely take this opportunity to do something."
Zhou Chuan shared his opinion.
Zhou Na also had this premonition, but she couldn't imagine how Li Xiaolong would target Zhou Chen in that situation.
"Fourth brother, how those two fight is beyond our control right now. We can just watch the show. There will be many successful people at this economic forum. You should seize the opportunity and try to build connections. It will benefit you in the future."
"Second sister, don't worry, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chuan's smile turned into a sneer. "Second sister, third sister, neither of you will open up to me. Don't think I can't see through you. I just don't say anything. Since you think I'm stupid, then I'll just keep pretending to be stupid and play along with your act."
...
"The old fogies are even attending this economic forum, it's like heaven is helping me!"
"As long as that old geezer isn't around, I'll have enough room to maneuver, making it easier for the plan to proceed more smoothly."
Zhou Haide was overjoyed to hear that his father-in-law was coming to the mainland, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Secretary Wang, Xiaolong and Meihui have been looking for me these past few days. Could you cover for me? I'm going to secretly go back to Hong Kong Island."
Zhou Haide began to confess,
Having endured humiliation for so many years, he had kept a low profile and concealed all his ambitions in order to gain his father-in-law's trust, all in the hope of one day taking over his assets. Now, that day was finally getting closer and closer.
If Li Xiaolong suffers another setback at Zhou Chen's hands, infuriating the old man, his plan to usurp Zhou Chen's position will be even easier to implement.
On the eve of the start of the economic forum,
Tang Wu reported again on his secret surveillance of Li Xiaolong that day.
"He's stayed indoors and hasn't seen anyone?"
"Yes."
Zhou Chen immediately guessed a possibility: the previous failure had made Li Xiaolong more cautious. He probably attributed the previous failure to a leak of information, so this time, he simply stayed home to prevent any possibility of leaks.
It must be said that this approach is indeed very effective.
Even if Tang Wu supervised very closely, it was impossible for him to see everything Li Xiaolong did in the villa.
As expected of a formidable opponent, they are so cautious, leaving no openings.
He didn't believe Li Xiaolong hadn't done anything. On the contrary, Li Xiaolong's quietness meant he was about to make a big move. The current calm was just the calm before the storm. Once he showed his fangs, it would be a killing blow.
Seeing Tang Wu's somewhat self-reproachful expression, Zhou Chen smiled and comforted him, "Old Tang, it's not your fault. The enemy's retreat has nothing to do with you; they're just being too cautious. You've done a great job. You don't need to keep watch for now. Take a few days off."
A hint of emotion flashed in Tang Wu's eyes, but he said nothing.
However, just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something else. "Brother Chen, just before I came back, I saw Zhou Haide's car go to the airport. Judging from his manner, it didn't seem like he was going to pick someone up, but more like he was going out."
oh?
Why did Zhou Haide go to the airport and leave at this time?
Zhou Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I understand, Lao Tang, you can go back now."
Tang Wu nodded and disappeared into the night.
As Zhou Chen walked across the vast football field, he casually took out his phone and dialed a number he had memorized.
"Hello? Who is this?"
A short while later, a somewhat languid voice rang out.
"Ms. Li Meihui, hello. I have a gift for you, which is about the secret of your husband, Zhou Haide."
Where are you?
The person on the other end of the phone immediately became serious, more so than ever before.
Zhou Chen smiled and gave an address.
Half an hour later,
A car was parked near Yenching University.
Zhou Chen opened the car door, smiled slightly at the somewhat astonished lady, and said, "I'm the one who called you, the one who made your son Li Xiaolong suffer a loss. You should know me."
