Chapter 172 Facing a Test



He did not receive any formal administrative punishment at the time, so in theory it should not have affected his personnel file.

Jiang Zhengyu frowned in confusion. "How could this happen? I considered this when I went to rescue you, and I made sure it wouldn't affect you."

"I suspect that someone might have sabotaged things behind the scenes."

This person is very likely Zhou Zehao, Xu Yanshu thought to herself. Perhaps she shouldn't have told him so early that she wanted to start a business in Chengdu.

Qin Shengyi's expression inevitably turned serious, and she cautiously asked, "And then?"

"It was Xie Huanyu, in his capacity as president of the Xie Group, who stepped forward to vouch for my reputation."

If it weren't for the timely call from the other party, my trip today would have been in vain.

Xu Yanshu had mixed feelings. He had already made his position completely closed, but he didn't expect Xie Huanyu to still be willing to help him in this matter.

He knew that Xie Huanyu wasn't a bad person at heart, but...

It's Xie Huanyu again...

Qin Shengyi couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but she didn't show it and just kept cutting the steak in front of her.

"Your ex-wife is helping you so much, are you wavering again?" Jiang Zhengyu stretched out his foot and gently kicked Xu Yanshu, then cleared his throat and spoke.

"How could that be? Putting everything else aside, just considering what happened to my dad... my grandma, I will never forgive her!"

Xu Yanshu then snapped out of her thoughts and noticed Shengyi's downcast appearance. She thought to herself, "Shengyi, don't overthink it."

If the truth about his father's car accident were to be brought up, it would inevitably lead to the story of his own assassination attempt. He considered that it was best not to let the young girl know about such a dangerous situation.

However, the necessary explanations cannot be omitted to fundamentally prevent misunderstandings from occurring.

Why bother explaining it to myself?

Qin Shengyi's face suddenly flushed red, and the slight displeasure in her heart vanished. She then gave a soft "hmm" in a voice barely above a whisper.

So, is this a move to launch an offensive?

Jiang Zhengyu immediately transformed into a bystander, saying with a mocking tone, "Should I excuse myself for a moment so you two can focus on your romance?"

What's wrong with this guy today?

Qin Shengyi frowned slightly, raised her eyes, and glared angrily at the person who spoke.

Seeing the little girl's flustered state, Xu Yanshu chuckled inwardly, while also offering her support.

"Just eat your food. No one will think you're mute if you don't talk!"

Okay, let's ostracize him then!

Jiang Zhengyu nodded noncommittally. If they offended his strongest support, those two would probably be crying.

Their eyes met unexpectedly in mid-air, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Qin Shengyi was the first to give in, and awkwardly looked away.

"I'll go check out office space tomorrow. If I find a suitable one, I'll book it first. After that, I'll go back to Kyoto to pick up my luggage and Uncle He!"

At this point, Qin Shengyi finally remembered what she had forgotten. She took a bank card out of her bag, but before she could hand it to Xu Yanshu, it was snatched away by another large hand.

"Sigh, it's not even close to being settled yet, and you're already in such a hurry to invest!"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhengyu glanced at the people around him with a veiled warning.

Although she meant well, this girl is really too tactless. Yan Shu is a man, and her bluntness is really hurting his self-esteem.

Xu Yanshu naturally understood Jiang Zhengyu's intentions. He gave him a grateful look, then turned to look at Shengyi.

"Don't worry, I have enough start-up capital. If there is a real need, I will naturally invite you to become my partners."

He knew Shengyi meant well, but one of his purposes in coming to Kyoto to start a business was to narrow the gap between him and Shengyi, so he couldn't easily accept her gift.

Qin Shengyi belatedly realized that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and she awkwardly waved her hand.

She was only thinking about how to reduce Yan Shu's pressure as much as possible, but forgot how he would feel if she did so.

Seeing that the little girl was about to turn into an ostrich again, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't bear it and took the initiative to speak up, saying, "Alright, if you really want to help your brother Yan Shu, why don't you help me think of a suitable office location in Rongcheng?"

Xu Yanshu nodded in agreement. "Yes, I'm not familiar with Rongcheng."

"Suitable for an office...I actually know a place like that!"

Qin Shengyi immediately perked up, took out her phone from her bag to search for messages, but didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two men. "Teaming up to soothe a child."
