Jiang Yubai sat in a spacious and bright office. The sunlight shone on him through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.
The news that Secretary Jin had just reported was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge wave of shock in his heart.
Zhou Yanchen, the man known for his shrewdness in the business world, actually offered twice as much as them to compete for the land in the east of the city.
This action, like a sudden rainstorm, broke the original peace.
Jiang Yubai frowned and fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yanchen's abnormal behavior is really puzzling.
At this critical moment, Jiang Yubai had to doubt that Zhou Yanchen might really be targeting the Jiang family.
In the past, Jiang's and Xinyu's business empires had no overlap. This sudden confrontation was like a puzzle that appeared out of nowhere, leaving him at a loss.
"Okay, I understand. You go and get busy first!" Jiang Yubai waved his hand slightly, and Secretary Jin quietly retreated, leaving him alone in the huge office to think.
On the other hand, in Zhou Yanchen's office, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Chang You reported to Zhou Yanchen with some doubt: "Boss, the land in the east of the city has been acquired."
Zhou Yanchen only replied with a faint "hmm", and his tone seemed to conceal many unknown emotions.
Chang Youshi couldn't suppress his curiosity. After all, this was not a small amount. An investment of nearly 1 billion yuan could not be put aside casually.
"Boss, what are you going to do with that land?" he asked cautiously.
Zhou Yanchen's anger seemed to still be burning. He said unhappily, "If it's useless, just leave it there."
Chang You's eyes widened when he heard this. Nearly 1 billion worth of land is just left idle?
This is simply incredible in the business world.
"Boss, if you do this, Jiang will target them for us."
Chang You tried to persuade Zhou Yanchen, hoping that he could be more rational.
Zhou Yanchen snorted coldly, "I am not afraid of Jiang Yubai." The toughness and disdain in his words seemed to be more than just an attitude towards business competition.
Chang You felt something was wrong as he listened to Zhou Yanchen's words. "Boss, did Mr. Jiang offend you?"
He really couldn't understand why his boss, who was always calm and rational, would make such an impulsive decision.
When Zhou Yanchen heard Jiang Yubai's name, the scene of Jiang Yubai getting out of Shen Qingli's car immediately emerged in his mind. That scene was like a thorn, piercing his heart and making his anger surge again.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just do your job." Zhou Yanchen scolded impatiently.
Seeing that Zhou Yanchen was a little angry, Chang You had to retreat.
Zhou Yanchen irritably threw the pen in his hand onto the table. The pen bounced a few times on the smooth surface, making a crisp sound, but it could not ease the tangled emotions in his heart.
His brows were furrowed, and his heart was filled with annoyance that almost swallowed him.
It was so annoying, he kept asking himself in his heart, why should he care so much about what that woman did last night?
Her every move was like an invisible thread, tightly entwining his heart and making it impossible for him to escape.
He raised his hand and touched his face, which seemed to still retain the residual warmth from being slapped by her.
For the first time in his life, he was slapped in the face by a woman, and he slapped her back.
This slap not only hit him on the face, but also hit his proud self-esteem hard.
He picked up the phone, slid his slender fingers quickly across the screen, and deleted all contact information of Shen Qingli one by one without hesitation.
He tried to convince himself that it was no big deal, and that he couldn't let his emotions be swayed by her so easily.
How could he, Zhou Yanchen, a powerful figure in the business world, be controlled by a woman?
At this moment, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere in the room.
Zhou Yanchen frowned slightly, reached out to pick up the phone, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, what's up?"
Su Xinyao's voice, slightly crying, came from the receiver, "Brother Chen, what should I do?"
Zhou Yanchen couldn't help but frowning when he heard her voice, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Chen, I was photographed by reporters when I went to Mocha last night, and now there are all kinds of news about me going to Mocha on the Internet."
Su Xinyao's voice was filled with helplessness and panic, "What should I do?"
She continued crying, "Just now my agent received several calls asking for termination of contract."
Zhou Yanchen listened to her words and his heart moved slightly. Although his own emotions were also a mess at the moment, he could not sit idly by in the face of Su Xinyao's predicament.
After all, it was Bai Heng's fault that she was like this now.
"Xinyao, don't panic. Let me take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the public relations department to handle it."
"Brother Chen, will this cause you trouble?"
There was a hint of worry in Su Xinyao's tone, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed her true mood at the moment.
She knew Zhou Yanchen too well and knew that he would definitely help.
"It's okay. I'll hang up first. I'll go see what's going on." Zhou Yanchen said and hung up the phone.
Su Xinyao looked at the black screen of her phone, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded to the agent.
What she wanted was for Zhou Yanchen to do public relations, so that their relationship could be confirmed.
Her purpose was clear, she wanted him to divorce Shen Qingli, and then stand by Zhou Yanchen's side without any pretense.
Zhou Yanchen opened Weibo and saw that Su Xinyao was indeed on the hot search because of what happened last night, with all kinds of speculations and negative comments flooding the internet.
Without hesitation, he dialed the internal line, "Chang You, ask the PR department to handle the trending searches about Xin Yao."
"Just say she came to Mocha to see me last night."
Chang You was a little hesitant on the other end of the phone, "Boss, if you use public relations like this, I'm afraid the relationship between you and Miss Su Xiao will be even more unclear."
Zhou Yanchen responded coldly: "It doesn't matter."
Having said that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Chang Youxian is increasingly confused about his boss.
I obviously don't like Sister Su 껻, but I have to be entangled with her like this.
No wonder the lady chose to leave.
Zhou Yanchen's words were like an imperial decree, and he dared not disobey.
Su Xinyao had been looking at the official account of Xinyu Group on her mobile phone, waiting for the announcement.
As soon as the Xinyu Group releases it, her big fans will immediately forward it.
Then another trending search will come out.
That's about the relationship between her and Zhou Yanchen.
Sure enough, not long after, Xinyu Group issued an announcement to clarify the reason why Su Xinyao entered Mocha last night.
Soon, the announcement had been forwarded half a million times.
Someone else went to Xinyu Group to comment, "Mr. Zhou, what is your relationship with Su Xinyao?"
