Faced with Wang Xiuhua's repeated attempts to appease him and her begging for forgiveness,
Zhou Na didn't take it seriously.
In her opinion, these two were too good at acting, and the reason they came so often was simply to profit from her.
Therefore, no matter how eloquently Wang Xiuhua spoke, Zhou Na remained unmoved.
They came back with the intention of taking care of her and her two siblings in their old age, and even threatened her to take money. These kinds of parents, even if they shed tears, are crocodile tears. She won't be as gullible as those two fools, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, who can be deceived a hundred times without ever learning their lesson.
"Zhou Na, who was that person just now?"
Back in the classroom, as soon as I sat down, my deskmate leaned over and whispered something to me.
"An elder."
Zhou Na knew that her meeting with Wang Xiuhua had been witnessed, but she responded casually without revealing Wang Xiuhua's identity.
"Oh, I thought it was your mother. I thought you looked so young. By the way, why don't you let that elder come to the campus for a visit? You could show her around."
"She's too busy, she doesn't have time."
“You can have her come tonight. By the way, Zhou Na, I heard that you and Zhou Chen went to the same high school. Is that true? I've never heard you mention it before.”
Her deskmate was a chatterbox, talking on and on, which annoyed Zhou Na, especially since the two people he mentioned were not people she wanted to hear about.
"It's during class time, and I want to concentrate. Could you please not disturb me?"
Zhou Na said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, the girl sitting next to him swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, awkwardly straightened her posture, and said no more.

"Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to be interested in Shanlu milk powder."
Zhou Chuan finally got in touch with Wu Bin and was called to Wu Bin's office. He saw Wu Bin flipping through the newspaper and reading about the news about Shanlu milk powder. Zhou Chuan's heart was moved and he immediately started to flatter him.
Wu Bin raised his head slightly.
Seeing this, Zhou Chuan continued, "In my opinion, unethical companies like Shanlu Milk Powder should have gone bankrupt long ago. Producing toxic milk powder harms innocent babies, causing widespread resentment and public outcry. It would be best to arrest all the people in charge of Shanlu Milk Powder and lock them up for a hundred years."
"You seem to harbor a lot of resentment towards Shanlu Milk Powder," Wu Bin asked expressionlessly.
Zhou Chuan thought he had hit the nail on the head and wanted to flatter Wu Bin, so he said, "Mr. Wu, to be honest, I was ripped off by Shanlu Milk Powder. I stockpiled a lot of milk powder, thinking I would make some money from the price difference later, but I didn't make any money and lost it all."
What's most infuriating, you know what? They actually came up with the idea of hiring people to queue up, creating the illusion of a hot sale. I was fooled because I saw so many people queuing. I don't know which bastard came up with this insidious idea. If I find out who it is, I'll slap them a hundred times.
After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he thought he would win Wu Bin's approval and appreciation, but he found that Wu Bin's expression not only did not improve, but became even colder, which made him feel uneasy.
"Mr. Wu..."
Zhou Chuan was a little confused and stammered.
"If I told you that I was the one who came up with that idea, would you slap me?"
What?
Zhou Chuan was suddenly taken aback.
"The largest shareholder of the Shanlu milk powder you mentioned is our family."
"In order to sell more milk powder, I came up with the idea of hiring people to line up and create the illusion of popularity. If you lose money, it's my fault, I'm the one who hurt you."
Wu Bin said with a half-smile.
"Mr. Wu, I don't know, I really don't know, I..."
After snapping out of his shock, Zhou Chuan quickly realized he had said the wrong thing. If Wu Bin got angry, he wouldn't be able to get on Wu Bin's good side anymore.
Seeing Zhou Chuan repeatedly apologizing, looking so fearful and apprehensive,
Wu Bin waved his hand and slowly said, "Alright, ignorance is no excuse. I won't hold this against you."
"Thank you, Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu is very magnanimous. With such a broad mind, Mr. Wu's company will surely weather this crisis and survive."
Zhou Chuan frantically flattered him.
Wu Bin chuckled, his expression gradually turning cold. "The milk powder factory's closure was inevitable; there was no escaping it. Do you know what I'm most angry about? It's the person who sabotaged our family behind the scenes. If someone hadn't exposed the test report, it wouldn't have blown up like this. The culprit behind all of this is that damned guy."
“President Wu, that person certainly deserves to die, but I believe that with your abilities, you will find that scoundrel who used underhanded tricks sooner or later. At that time, just say the word, President Wu, and I, Zhou Chuan, will be ready to charge into battle for you immediately.” Zhou Chuan expressed his loyalty.
Wu Bin nodded slowly, seemingly quite satisfied, which made Zhou Chuan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you can go back now."
"I will contact you when I need you."
"yes."
Zhou Chuan prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, here's two thousand yuan. Take it and keep an eye on his movements for me, understand what I mean?"
Zhou Chuan turned around and nodded quickly to Wu Bin, who was lying on the chair, "Understood, understood."
He then accepted the money with both hands and respectfully left the office.
Seeing Zhou Chuan fawning over him like a dog, Wu Bin's mood improved considerably. He remembered that Zhou Chuan was Zhou Chen's younger brother. Although Zhou Chen and Zhou Chuan had severed ties and their relationship had completely broken down, seeing this person related to Zhou Chen being so humble was a small form of revenge against Zhou Chen.
"Because of family matters, I haven't had time to deal with you."
"You're lucky."
"Once I find that scoundrel who was exposed, I'll deal with you slowly."
Wu Bin pictured Zhou Chen's face. A country bumpkin who had become his rival in love. The thought that Zhou Chen and Sun Wanying might finally confess their feelings made him even more furious.
Right now, however, he has more important things to do, and even pursuing Sun Wanying has to be put aside for the time being.
Their family's current situation is not optimistic.
Even if the Shanlu milk powder factory goes bankrupt and provides substantial compensation, selling all its assets may not be enough to cover the costs.
Secondly, the father, Wu Zhengda, failed to acquire a domestic brand, which significantly lowered his standing with the investors behind him.
Fortunately, another acquisition target has been provided. If we can acquire that domestic brand, my father's position as the agent will be stabilized again.
He wanted to lend his father a hand.
Right now, nothing is more important than this.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Wu, I just called and arranged a meeting time as you requested."
"Okay, let's go there now."
Wu Bin put his legs down from the desk, stood up, and straightened his suit and tie.
On the other end,
"Brother Chen, the Wu family has indeed arranged a meeting."
"Da Long, remind them to put on a good show before politely declining."
"I see."
Zhou Chen, who was in the cafeteria, put down the phone and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
