Downstairs from Founder Investment Company.
Zhuo Danqin and her son Xu Mingcheng looked at each other, and the former said, "Son, when you get to that company, don't be polite to that guy surnamed Chu, just scold him directly."
“Mom, I understand.” Xu Mingcheng nodded. “He’s the one who destroyed our family! I have to make him give me a reason.”
"Well done, son."
The mother and son then strode confidently into the building and arrived at the entrance of Founder Investment.
Xu Mingcheng took a deep breath and shouted, "Chu Zhiye, you come out here!"
The sound was loud and carried throughout the entire company, drawing everyone's attention.
"This gentleman..."
The receptionist stepped forward to inquire, but before she could finish speaking, Xu Mingcheng interrupted her: "Don't stop me. I'm going to find Chu Zhiye today. He has to give us an explanation."
"What do you mean?" Chu Zhiye strolled out of the company. "What brings you two here?"
Upon seeing Chu Zhiye, Xu Mingcheng was immediately overcome with a strange fear. He grinned and said, "Hehe... hehe, it's been a long time. I wanted to see you. I'm relieved to see you so healthy, Brother Chu. I'll be going now."
After saying that, Xu Mingcheng quickly entered the elevator, and Zhuo Danqin followed him in. The mother and son left Fangzheng Investment together.
Chu Zhi also tilted his head.
Why are this mother and son behaving so strangely?
... ...
Downstairs from Founder Investment.
Zhuo Danqin pointed her index finger at Xu Mingcheng's temple: "You spineless coward! You were so angry just now, demanding justice, but why did you chicken out as soon as you saw the person in charge?"
Xu Mingcheng shrank his neck: "Mom, it's not my fault. I don't know why, but when I see Chu Zhiye, a nameless fear rises in my heart and I can't speak."
Especially Chu Zhiye's calm and composed demeanor.
He became even more cowardly.
It was as if he had done something wrong.
No one dared to go up and hold them accountable.
If it had been any later, Xu Mingcheng would have revealed all the bad things he had done over the years.
That aura was terrifying.
"Mom, why didn't you say something to me back then?" Xu Mingcheng muttered.
"Nonsense, I'm scared too!" Zhuo Danqin rolled her eyes. "That guy surnamed Chu looks almost exactly like Old Xu, so I wouldn't dare say anything either."
The mother and son stood downstairs, looking at each other and sighing.
The saying "like mother, like son" is perfectly exemplified in these two individuals.
... ...
The story of what happened to the Xu family also spread within a small circle.
Yao Chen, who knew the whole story, was astonished: "Brother, you're right. Xu Man was indeed plotting something to get company shares in one fell swoop. What a cunning woman."
Yao Yuan wasn't surprised: "Spend less time with Xu Man in the future. She can easily outmaneuver all of you."
Yao Chen shook his head: "No, no, Xu Man can manipulate your classmates like puppets, what are we compared to her?"
Yao Chen suddenly recalled the conflict that occurred at the bar that night.
Was Xu Man also involved?
Eek~~~
A scheming woman!
Yao Yuan stroked his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "It's not that easy to fool someone. There must have been a lot of interesting things that led to today's outcome."
Yao Yuan is a rather arrogant person, and he usually has a high opinion of himself, but he regards Chu Zhi as someone of the same level.
If he could see that Xu Man had ulterior motives, Chu Zhiye could naturally see it too.
However, there are many unknown details that he was unaware of.
"I'm giving you a task: investigate the story between Zhiye and Xu Man." Yao Yuan found this matter quite interesting.
He felt that if he delved deeper into this matter, he might be able to salvage the dignity he had lost when Chu Zhiye trampled on his academic achievements during his senior year of high school.
This is very important to him.
Yao Chen's expression was serious: "Understood!"
... ...
At 5 p.m., Chu Zhi also left work on time and returned home.
He made himself a simple bowl of noodles, then went out for a walk, strolling along the street step by step.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked around. There were migrant workers who had just finished get off work, families of three taking a warm stroll, and an elderly couple walking with faltering steps... The world around him revealed all aspects of life.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a deafening roar in the sky, a torrential downpour began, as if a hole had been torn open in the sky, and the Milky Way was pouring down.
Unable to return home, Chu Zhi had no choice but to hide in front of a supermarket, waiting for the downpour to stop.
The rain started pouring down quickly, and many pedestrians shared his sentiment, staying in front of the supermarket.
A little girl tilted her head and said innocently, "Grandpa, we're all going to be struck by lightning!"
"Pah, pah, pah," the little girl's grandfather instructed his granddaughter. "You can't say that, it's bad luck."
"Oh," the little girl nodded, "we're all going to drown."
Upon hearing this, everyone present laughed.
So, everyone's going to die because of a rainstorm?
Chu Zhi also entered the supermarket, bought a bottle of mineral water, sat on the supermarket steps, drank the water, and looked at the four words that were revealed under the dim light in front of him.
A half-acre pond.
That's right, the bookstore run by Shen Ling is right in front of us.
I don't know how I ended up here at Chenling Bookstore.
"I should have walked along the opposite street so I could have gone to the bookstore to read for a while when it started raining, but alas..." Chu Zhiye thought to himself.
He sat on the steps, waiting for the downpour to stop.
suddenly--
Shen Ling's beautiful figure came into view.
...
I'm taking tomorrow off, sorry.
