"Gu Lingfeng was eager to take the project from me, but in the end he turned his attention to my son. I'll see if he has the guts to challenge me to the end!" Zhou Shengyu said this and stormed out of the studio.
Hearing this, Xu Yanshu felt a subtle sensation, but he didn't reject it. It seemed that Zhou Shengyu had confirmed certain established facts.
On the other hand, Gu Lingfeng was probably used as a pawn in this matter, and the mastermind behind it should be someone else. He couldn't help but think of the toad that Zhou Zehao had specially sent on the opening day.
He couldn't think of anyone else who could have done this.
Xu Yanshu snapped out of her daze, looked at He Wen solemnly, and cautiously instructed, "Pay attention to the online public opinion these next few days. If there are any comments, release our appraisal report. We absolutely cannot allow anyone to smear us for no reason."
He wouldn't pretend to refuse Zhou Shengyu's help, after all, Zhou's influence and power in Rongcheng were far greater than his own, but he couldn't rely entirely on the other party for this matter, and he still needed to make the necessary preparations.
"Okay, I understand!"
...
"Young Master Zhou, what should we do? Why is Chairman Zhou investigating this matter?"
"What are you panicking for!" Zhou Zehao cursed impatiently. "The problem lies with the materials provided by Xu Yanshu. He should be the one who's most anxious."
"As long as you take care of everything, you don't need to panic no matter who investigates!"
"If you don't have anything to do during this time, don't contact me. That's all!" With that, Zhou Zehao hung up the phone.
The old man really loves his son dearly; he's already standing up for Xu Yanshu.
Zhou Zehao turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the bustling traffic below, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
When they decided to do this, they wanted to completely ruin Xu Yanshu's reputation before the old man found out, but they never expected him to act so quickly.
Knowing the old fox's nature, he'll probably soon guess that this matter is related to him, and then...
Thump thump thump—
A knock on the door interrupted Zhou Zehao's thoughts. He suddenly came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and then responded softly to the outside.
Meng Yu pushed open the door and walked in from outside. "President Zhou, the chairman said he wants to cancel all cooperation with the Gu family."
Wow, that's quite a big move.
Zhou Zehao sighed inwardly, thinking that the company had been cooperating with Gu Lingfeng for three or four years, but now, just because he suspected that Gu Lingfeng was plotting against Xu Yanshu, they had cut ties with him so abruptly.
The reason the cooperation was successfully reached was because he acted as a go-between.
But the help wasn't for nothing; besides the obvious things, Gu Lingfeng also had to give himself an extra cut.
In this way, I lost another way to make money.
Annoyed, Zhou Zehao pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, his eyes darkening imperceptibly.
If the same thing happened to him, Zhou Shengyu would probably just scold himself for his incompetence.
"I understand. There's no need to take any action. I'll find a way to appease Gu Lingfeng in a few days."
So calm?
Meng Yu was stunned. He had prepared himself for a storm, but he hadn't expected Zhou Zehao's reaction to be so calm...
People don't suddenly change their nature; the only possibility is that Zhou Zehao had anticipated this all along.
As Meng Yu was pondering to himself, seeing that the other party didn't seem to intend to explain anything else, he immediately turned around and left the office.
It seems that Xu Yanshu is truly determined to return to the Zhou family.
Zhou Zehao suddenly chuckled in a low voice, his expression ambiguous. The old man had already set his sights on him, so it wasn't the right time to do anything else.
Damn it! He absolutely will not let Xu Yanshu off so easily, even if it means dying together in the end.
...
Having been keeping a close eye on the online activity but finding nothing amiss, Xu Yanshu was hesitating about whether to negotiate with the other party when she unexpectedly received a call from Jiang Zhengyu.
"Lu Huai committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment."
Suicide out of fear of punishment?
Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback. It had been a long time since he had heard Lu Huai's name, and he hadn't expected it to be mentioned again because of such news.
"It is said that after Lu Huai went in, he became the target of bullying, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he chose to commit suicide."
"No one claimed the body after we contacted the family, so Xie Huanyu ended up paying for the funeral expenses."
It was Xie Huanyu who sent Lu Huai in back then. Xu Yanshu curled his lips meaningfully, thinking that this could be considered a good ending.
"By the way, how's your project going? Is it on track now?"
Since he was asked, Xu Yanshu naturally brought up the current situation.
"I thought he would make a move soon, but so far everything has remained calm."
"Then there is only one explanation: Jay Chou has already intervened in this matter with a strong stance, which is why the other party dares not make any rash moves."
Jiang Zhengyu analyzed the situation in detail, then paused slightly before adding a hint of teasing, "Yan Shu, how does it feel to have someone backing you up?"
Just as Xu Yanshu was about to say something, he looked up and saw Shengyi standing at the door.
He rushed forward, "Shengyi, what brings you here?"
"Shengyi? Holy crap, that girl came to see you again!"
Without answering, Xu Yanshu hung up the phone. He was pleasantly surprised that Shengyi was there, but then, as if remembering something, his expression suddenly turned serious.
