Chapter 228 The Face of the Phoenix Man 2
Zhang Jiaran didn't get angry.
The tone is flat.
"Kong Xing, you and I have been married for twenty years. You understand me, and I understand you just as well."
"If you were allowed to obtain shares in the company, you would also try every possible way to bite off more flesh from the Zhang family."
"Do you think I would agree?"
They are not good people, let alone saying high-sounding words to cover up the ugliness in their hearts.
Kong Xing snorted. "Whether you agree or not is your business. The World Bank's stock price fell another two points at the opening this morning, resulting in losses exceeding tens of billions. You can withstand the pressure, but I don't recommend pushing it."
Facing his threat, Zhang Jiaran chuckled.
"It seems like you don't care about the lives of Lizhi and Kong Kang at all?"
When talking about his son, Kong Xing's eyes narrowed and his words became a little sharp: "You want me to take the blame for the outside and kick me out. Zhang Jiaran, there is no such good deal in the world. If you make me angry, I will reveal that Zhang Xu is not my biological son."
"As long as I don't mention who his father is, that man won't find a reason to embarrass me."
"Of course he can help you secretly, but I'm afraid his wife won't agree at that time."
If Zhang Jiaran could threaten him with Kong Kang, he would threaten him back with Zhang Xu.
It is true that the man is powerful, but his wife also comes from a wealthy family.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Kong Xing believed that Zhang Jiaran understood this principle better than him.
Displeasure finally surfaced in Zhang Jiaran's eyes. She stared straight at Kong Xing and asked, "So there's nothing to talk about?"
Kong Xing, who once again took the initiative in the negotiations, relaxed his tense back slightly.
"You don't have to give me shares. I want funds equivalent to the share price. Twenty percent from you, isn't that too much?"
There was a hint of pride in his tone, and it sounded as if Zhang Jiaran had really taken advantage of him.
But the 20% stake in the World Bank is equivalent to stripping the Zhang family of three layers of skin.
Zhang Jiaran's eyes turned into blades: "You are asking for too much."
"Really? I don't think so. Of course, you can choose not to divorce. Once new news comes out, the situation will naturally calm down. By then, I don't recommend pretending to be a loving couple with you."
Kong Xing spoke with full confidence, making sure that Zhang Jiaran had no choice.
As long as the external issues are not resolved, the World Bank’s stock price will continue to fall.
Falling stock prices mean a lot of money is being burned.
The phrase "golden PR hours" is not said in vain.
Zhang Jiaran’s public image is that of a successful woman, and many girls support her behind the scenes.
If she really swallowed the matter this time, she would not be able to afford the backlash from the public.
By then, even if it was clearly Kong Xing's fault, it would become her fault.
Once the head of a company has a negative impact, he will be boycotted by the masses.
That's far more serious than this sex scandal.
By then, the entire Zhang family might be dragged into this.
Once Zhang Jiaran's image and voice in the World Bank are damaged.
The first beneficiary was her husband, who had already become proud of himself.
No one knows what Kong Xing will do when he steps on her.
Zhang Jiaran could get this result just by moving his toes.
Otherwise, she would not have contacted a lawyer and sent over the divorce agreement as soon as the incident broke out.
Having said that, there is no need to continue talking.
Zhang Jiaran raised his chin and said, "Goodbye."
They had been separated for many years.
This house is also Zhang Jiaran's private property, and Kong Xing does not live here.
To be exact, they have been living apart since the second day of their marriage until now.
Kong Xing stood up from the sofa, with his back to the sun, casting a shadow.
He is actually not ugly. He is still handsome and has not gained weight even in middle age.
In addition, after he joined the Zhang family, he quickly accumulated capital, and his temperament was no longer the same as that of the poor boy back then.
Otherwise, Lizhi wouldn't have risked giving birth to a child for him even though she was that old.
He bent down and picked up the mobile phone on the table, looking at Zhang Jiaran with a hint of victory in his eyes.
"I await your decision."
Both parties know the bargaining chips, and it depends on which side compromises.
But it is obvious that in today's negotiations, Kong Xing has the upper hand.
After he left.
Zhang Xu made a "Pooh" sound, and his anger subsided. He looked at Zhang Jiaran worriedly.
"Mom. This guy is so difficult to deal with. What should we do?"
“It’s something that’s expected.”
When Zhang Jiaran faced Kong Xing, his shoulders, which had been straight all the time, relaxed and he leaned weakly against the sofa.
It's not easy to kick the hole out.
She knew this fact when she discovered the hole-shaped capital accumulation.
"I thought if I beat Lizhi up, Kong Xing would lose his composure. I didn't expect him to be so heartless. He just let it go."
Zhang Xu suppressed the irritability on his face and his expression became serious.
This is completely different from the image he gives people outside.
"What's a pear branch? Do you think he chose pear branches just for the child?"
Kong Xing was born to be good at calculating.
At an age when other college students are busy with their studies.
He was already figuring out how to take a shortcut and climb up.
Zhang Jiaran saw through his tricks back then, but she was upset at the time and just went along with it.
Facts have proved that people still cannot compromise.
The sheep that was raised turned into a wolf and started to bite its owner.
The time when Lizhi met Kong Xing was when she had the worst fight with Baifeng.
A few glasses of wine and a few worthless words of concern are enough to make a woman who is frustrated in her marriage throw herself into his arms.
As for Kong Xing, he ignored so many young and beautiful girls out there and chose Lizhi, a middle-aged woman.
The purpose is self-evident.
He was attracted by Lizhi's background, as well as the Bai family.
He was so happy to have such a good resource.
Only he himself knows how Lizhi has helped him over the years, both openly and secretly.
Zhang Jiaran knew all this very well, so she never took Lizhi seriously.
This woman is just a pitiful pawn.
"You're useless. I gave birth to his child, and this is what happened to you."
Zhang Xu said, "Mom, what should we do next? If Kong Xing really refuses to divorce, it won't be easy for us to sue. The stock market can't wait for this kind of delay."
"We must get a divorce. Otherwise, we can't afford the consequences."
"But the situation is so intense out there. Shouldn't we first make our stance clear? I see people arguing online, and some are even using this scandal to smear the World Bank."
The most powerful thing these days is not scandal, but public opinion.
After all, Kong Xing and Zhang Jiaran are a legal couple.
Although the two people appear to be in harmony but are actually distant, they have no contact with each other except for work.
But in public and at social gatherings in some circles.
They have to play the role of a loving couple.
The World Bank's external image has always been positive.
This is powerful for businesses.
