Chapter 105 Who Wins and Who Loses
Shen Shuangmiao was instantly jolted awake by these words.
yes.
She was too naive. How could she think that Zhao Mobai would give up such a great opportunity to annex his opponent just because of her words?
From the very beginning, their relationship was one of exchange, each taking what they needed.
She has no reason to ask Zhao Mobai to give up his business interests.
Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, it was my presumption to disturb your rest."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
The door was closed gently.
Zhao Mobai stood there, staring at the door, his face so dark it could drip water.
Lu Jie, who had been hiding in the shadows, cautiously stepped out.
Seeing the storm brewing on his boss's face, he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"Mr. Zhao, you could have simply agreed to let Miss Shen owe you a favor. Why did you have to say such unpleasant things..."
Zhao Mobai turned around abruptly.
"Shut up!"
He let out a low growl, his chest heaving violently, his eyes churning with complex emotions and resentment.
Doesn't he know how to please her even more?
Of course he knew.
But……
She came in the dead of night, actually to plead for Zhu Jin.
He couldn't control the discomfort he felt.
Why is it that the man who hurt her so deeply can still make her so attached to him?
Was Zhao Mobai destined to be nothing more than a tool she used to get rid of trouble forever?!
Seeing his jealous expression yet his stubborn refusal to admit it, Lu Jie sighed helplessly in his heart.
Why bother?
...
After leaving Zhao Mobai's place, Shen Shuangmiao wandered aimlessly alone on the deserted streets.
She did her best.
I really tried my best.
He reminded Zhu Jin, sought out Zhou Wu, and even pleaded with Zhao Mobai.
Ke Zhu Jin is so obsessed that he's willing to be a lover, while Zhao Mobai is so cold-blooded that he only follows business rules.
No matter what she did, she couldn't stop the impending conflict between them.
Shen Shuangmiao rubbed her cold hands, took out her phone, found that familiar number, edited for a long time, and finally sent only one line of text.
You'd better think twice.
Then, she silenced her phone, put it in her pocket, and took a deep breath of the cold air.
let it go.
Their war was no longer her concern; she only needed to guard her studio and live her life.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes, forcing herself to suppress her chaotic thoughts.
...
The next morning.
As soon as Shen Shuangmiao arrived at the studio, she received a call from Old Madam Su herself.
The old lady's tone was unusually serious.
"Miaomiao, go back to the old house right away."
Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank slightly, knowing that what was meant to happen would eventually come.
She put down her work and immediately went to the Su family's old residence.
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat heavy.
Madam Su sat upright in the main seat, her usual smile gone, her eyes filled with worry.
She nodded when she saw Shen Shuangmiao appear.
"Miaomiao, sit down."
Shen Shuangmiao sat down opposite her, her eyes lowered: "Grandma."
Old Madam Su looked at her and sighed softly.
“Last night, Mr. Zhu called me personally.”
"He said that Ah Jin is about to squander the entire fortune of three generations of the Zhu family because of you?"
Her gaze was inquisitive.
"What exactly is going on? There are all sorts of rumors circulating outside, saying that the two of you... sigh!"
Shen Shuangmiao knew she couldn't hide it anymore, and she didn't want to hide it any longer.
She told the old lady the whole story.
This includes Zhu Jin kneeling down and asking to become his lover.
As Madam Su listened, her expression gradually turned to shock, and finally she sighed.
She has lived to such an old age, weathered countless storms, and met all sorts of people.
It's unheard of for someone like Zhu Jin, a once proud and arrogant business tycoon, to be so humble for a woman!
"This child, he... he really is..."
The old lady couldn't find the right words to comment for a moment, and in the end she just shook her head.
"He has personally shattered his pride and presented it to you."
There was a hint of pity in her words.
Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips and slowly pinched the corner of her clothes.
She didn't want to hear these things, and she didn't want to understand Zhu Jin's deep affection.
Shen Shuangmiao raised her head and forced a smile: "Grandma, what he does is his choice. I have never asked him to do anything. Now I just want to run the studio well and live a peaceful life."
"I don't want to get involved in what's between him and Zhao Mobai anymore, and I'm powerless to do so."
She thought her meaning was already very clear.
Draw a clear line.
That's all.
Looking at her resolute and aloof expression, Madam Su knew that she was truly afraid of being entangled and had made up her mind to stay away from that vortex of trouble.
She remained silent for a moment, and finally just patted Shen Shuangmiao's hand.
The old lady said earnestly, "Never mind, I can't interfere too much in your affairs. Since you've already made up your mind, then do what you want."
"But the premise is that you feel you have a clear conscience."
Shen Shuangmiao forced a smile but said nothing.
She felt even more exhausted after leaving the Su family's old house.
Even Grandma was alarmed, which shows how big of a fuss this matter has become.
Shen Shuangmiao returned to her studio and forced herself to immerse herself in her work.
However, her life was destined to be turbulent.
The final bidding meeting for the project was held this morning.
Despite Shen Shuangmiao's repeated telling herself not to care, almost everyone in the studio, the Zhao Group, and even the entire industry was talking about it.
The air was thick with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
"I heard that this time the results will be announced live!"
"My God, that's a project worth tens of billions! It's a matter of life and death on the spot, how exciting!"
"This is absolutely the biggest news in the business world this year!"
"I've placed my bet! I bet Mr. Zhao will win!"
"Why even bet? Insiders say the Zhu family's core data has been leaked, so President Zhao is definitely going to win!"
"Zhu Jin is really unlucky. He ran into an opponent like President Zhao and also encountered a mole."
Shen Shuangmiao sat in her office, while the chatter outside kept seeping in.
She stared at the design drawings on the computer screen, unable to concentrate at all.
Finally, Shen Shuangmiao couldn't resist and secretly clicked on the live broadcast page of the financial news.
The page shows that reporters are already waiting outside the bidding venue.
Soon, a news flash popped up.
[Both Zhu Jin, president of the Zhu Group, and Zhao Mobai, president of the Zhao Group, have arrived at the bidding site! A fierce battle between the two sides is about to erupt!]
The accompanying images are two candid photos.
One photo shows Zhao Mobai, wearing a dark gray bespoke suit, his expression still relaxed and composed.
He entered the venue surrounded by his team, as if victory was assured.
The other one is Zhu Jin.
He was wearing a black suit, his arm in a cast looked somewhat out of place, his eyes were sharp and ruthless, and he carried an indescribable air of arrogance as he walked alone ahead.
The team members following behind him had much more serious and composed expressions.
Looking at Zhu Jin's photo, Shen Shuangmiao's heart clenched involuntarily.
He looked terrible.
