Taking advantage of a business trip to Kyoto, Zhou Zehao visited the Xie residence.
Xie Junyang was eager to find a solution, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he brought up the deal he had made with Xu Yanshu.
Zhou Zehao tapped his fingers absentmindedly on the corner of the table and said meaningfully, "In my opinion, this isn't entirely a bad thing."
"Now that Xu Yanshu has left the Xie family, whatever happens to him in the future will not implicate your company."
That... seems to be the case.
Xie Junyang nodded thoughtfully, then slowly exhaled.
In truth, he had long since given up on Xu Yanshu's ability to serve him wholeheartedly as before, but being forced to release him now left him feeling uneasy.
Xu Yanshu was someone I personally nurtured, yet now he's making things difficult for me at every turn.
"I was only able to talk to you today because I was on a business trip. If you need anything in the future, just call me or contact my assistant!" As he spoke, Zhou Zehao frowned impatiently.
Ever since that incident, the old man has been keeping an even closer eye on him, as if he wants to follow him around 24 hours a day.
Even if he wanted to deal with Xu Yanshu now, he had to slow down. If he did that, the old man would notice Xu Yanshu, which would be a loss.
how so?
Xie Junyang was slightly taken aback, and just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the study door.
"Come in!"
Xie Huanyu walked in from outside carrying a fruit platter. After putting the fruit down, she said, "Dad, Young Master Zhou, please have some fruit first!"
It's ridiculous, really. Butler Wang called her back from the company in a hurry, just so she could come in and deliver a fruit platter.
Zhou Zehao looked her up and down, then said in a compliment, "You've become even more beautiful in just a few days!"
Such a scrutinizing look gave Xie Huanyu goosebumps. Considering her father was still nearby, she had no choice but to force a smile at the man.
Having already witnessed his sinister and violent true nature, seeing him now acting like a nice guy only filled her with disgust and revulsion.
Xie Junyang nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Yu'er, please sit down first. My daughter and I will have a good chat with Young Master Zhou."
Xie Huanyu frowned almost imperceptibly, took a deep breath, and then obediently sat down in front of the empty seat.
"Huanyu, you don't know that Xu Yanshu is about to leave Xie's company, do you?"
Resignation?
Xie Huanyu looked up, puzzled, and subconsciously asked, "Why? When did this happen?"
Dissatisfied with his daughter's strong reaction, Xie Junyang coughed lightly twice as a reminder before explaining the whole story.
So, does he want to completely get rid of himself?
A surge of anger welled up inside Xie Huanyu, and she unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides, her red lips pressing down.
Seeing that Xu Yanshu hadn't mentioned resigning since the divorce, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to transfer Xu Yanshu back to management when the opportunity arose in the future.
Little did they know that he had been plotting this all along, and even used it to blackmail his father.
Observing Xie Huanyu's reaction discreetly, Zhou Zehao spoke with an ambiguous tone,
"Huanyu, you must be heartbroken to have lost another valiant general."
"Ah... how could that be? He's just a junior accountant," Xie Huanyu's brow twitched, and she quickly realized that this question was a trap. She immediately denied it, "I just didn't expect that Xu Yanshu would be so audacious as to threaten us like this!"
Xie Junyang raised his eyes and gave the speaker a cool look. Naturally, he couldn't expose him to his face. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Winning or losing isn't about this moment. The one who laughs last is the real winner!"
"With Zhou Shao as a powerful ally, we certainly aren't afraid of him."
Xu Yanshu is, after all, their common enemy. He can't just sit back and watch them fight.
"Chairman Xie, you flatter me too much," Zhou Zehao said, feigning modesty and declining the offer. "As I just said, it might not be convenient for me to come to Rongcheng in the short term, so I can only wait for your good news."
Is this meaningful?
Watching the back and forth with a cold eye, Xie Huanyu felt extremely bored and only wanted to leave as soon as possible, but dared not make any rash moves.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when the butler came to report that lunch was ready.
Xie Huanyu was about to make an excuse when she was stopped before anyone could stop her.
"Huanyu, we've finished discussing the important matters we needed to discuss. After dinner, you can spend some time chatting with Young Master Zhou!"
Xie Huanyu nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I understand!"
...
Two or three days later, upon hearing that Xie Junyang had come to the company, Xu Yanshu immediately took her things and went up to the 23rd floor.
"Are you sure there's no backup?" Xie Junyang asked, looking at the USB drive in front of him with some skepticism.
"Of course not, how could I dare to play tricks on you?" Xu Yanshu replied without changing his expression. "Chairman Xie, then I can resign from the company!"
Xie Junyang nodded slightly. "Okay, you can get lost now!"
Xu Yanshu didn't care about this attitude. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly. Some people must have really broken down, so they didn't even have the patience to pretend anymore.
Most importantly, he can finally leave this place legitimately, and whether he is successful or down on his luck, he will only be working for himself.
"Chairman Xie, then I'll..."
Xie Junyang suddenly spoke, his tone intriguingly inquiring, "I've watched you grow up over the years, and now you're about to leave."
"Then let me give you one last piece of advice: you can know a person's face but not their heart; there's no such thing as a free lunch!"
On the surface, Huang Dongsheng has been supporting the Xie family all these years, but in reality, he pocketed most of the profits. Even so, he still tries to hinder him at every turn.
For a moment, it was unclear why he would be willing to promote Xu Yanshu, but it was certain that it was not simply because of admiration.
Xu Yanshu paused for a moment, then realized the implied meaning in those words, and replied with a forced smile.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance. I will definitely keep it in mind!"
"Then I'll give you a piece of advice: 'Heaven is watching what people do!'"
After saying that, Xu Yanshu resolutely turned around. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard the sound of things being smashed coming from inside.
Haha, she really broke down!
A sly glint flashed in Xu Yanshu's eyes as he took the elevator down to the underground parking garage.
Just as he was about to reach for the car door, he received a call from Qin Shengyi.
"Hey, Brother Yan Shu, we're heading back to Rongcheng today!"
