Chapter 149 I Still Have to Rely on Myself
Ji Ying had never been so embarrassed in her life.
"Sorry, wrong number."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Liang Yizhi came out of the laboratory.
The woman handed him her coat and phone.
"There's an even more efficient DNA extraction technology, but it's still in the exploratory stage and will take some time. Shall we give it a try?"
Liang Yizhi took the coat. "You decide what to do."
He always speaks like this in front of outsiders, and his emotions are hard to fathom.
"Oh, right, I got a call from you. I answered it," the woman said.
Liang Yizhi looked at her.
The woman laughed and said, "They said the tuition fees you paid for stock trading during the Kangxi era could be refunded. I asked if I could get a refund in gold ingots, and the person on the other end cursed me and hung up the phone."
Liang Yizhi originally wanted to check the call log, but put down his phone because of her words.
"Don't be like that crazy girl."
After the woman laughed, she asked seriously, "After you're done with your work, are you still going to Kun City?"
Liang Yizhi pursed his lips without answering, and the woman immediately understood and said, "I understand, I won't ask."
His identity and travel plans are often kept secret.
After leaving the testing center and getting into the car, Liang Yizhi turned off his phone.
...
Xiao Xia looked surprised.
"That woman is his wife?"
Ji Ying remained silent.
Xiao Xia covered her mouth, "Won't those two get into a fight because of your phone call?"
Ji Ying quickly recovered from her slight disappointment.
"Do you think he would fight back if the two of them were to fight?"
Xiao Xia laughed at his joke, "If the other person is someone he likes, then he'll definitely be the one kneeling on the keyboard."
Ji Ying put her phone in her bag and got up.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Xia asked.
"We'll have to resolve this ourselves. I'll go find General Manager Zheng."
Xiao Xia's smile vanished. "Knowing he's a pervert, you still went to see him? Are you out of your mind?"
Ji Ying seemed to have made up her mind, "I'll go to the company to find him."
This is a matter for everyone, and Xiao Xia must go along.
The two arrived at the headquarters of Entropy Motors, but were stopped by the receptionist.
After hearing the company's name, the young woman ignored them and didn't bother to inform them.
"This guy surnamed Zheng knew we would come looking for him, so he deliberately avoided us. He's feeling guilty," Xiao Xia said angrily.
But Ji Ying wasn't angry; instead, she was quite happy.
"He's the one we bribed, yet he goes to work as usual. What does that say?"
Xiao Xia was enlightened by her words, "He wasn't entirely willing to cooperate, but he couldn't refuse the request of the other party's superiors. There's a lot of room for maneuver in this matter."
Ji Ying nodded.
“But we can’t even see him now, what should we do?” Xiao Xia asked.
Ji Ying pondered for two seconds, then went to the front desk again. "Hello, may I see Mr. Zheng's assistant?"
The young woman grew impatient. "How can you be so shameless? I've already told you, President Zheng won't see you, and it's no use talking to his assistant."
Ji Ying was not angry at her words; she smiled, but her words were sharp.
"I'll find Mr. Zheng's assistant now and have him meet with me. Whether or not I get to meet Mr. Zheng is none of your business. It's best to listen to advice; that's how you go far in life."
The young woman pretended to be displeased, but still called Mr. Zheng's assistant.
Not long after, Mr. Zheng's assistant came downstairs in person to chase the person away.
Upon seeing Ji Ying, he was about to speak when Ji Ying placed a business card in front of him. "May I see President Zheng?"
This business card was given to her by Liang Yanchuan when she was meeting Wen Li; she never expected it would come in handy a second time.
The assistant's gaze immediately fell on the business card.
Everyone in their circle knows about the Fuyao Association.
After confirming that it was the president's signature, the assistant turned around, took out his phone, and reported.
One minute later.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Zheng said you can go up alone."
Xiao Xia was about to speak when Ji Ying stopped her.
"Wait for me in the parking lot."
Xiao Xia understood the deeper meaning in her eyes, pursed her lips, and nodded.
"If you don't come out in half an hour, I'll call the police."
The assistant rolled her eyes.
When they arrived at General Manager Zheng's office, the assistant did not follow them inside.
There was only Zheng Huaping inside.
This guy is definitely a wine lover; he even keeps wine by his side while working.
"Miss Ji, you are incredibly powerful. None of the people in your Gu family are easy to mess with, but you don't think I'll give you face just because you have a business card, do you?"
Ji Ying sensed his dissatisfaction at being held back by both sides, and she didn't indulge him. "I don't need President Zheng to give me face. I just hope you can withdraw the false accusations against Qing Sui."
A fake smile appeared on President Zheng's chubby face. "You can't just say things like that. That's solid evidence provided by Young Master Gu. It has nothing to do with me."
Ji Ying sighed, "I understand that you don't want to offend the Gu family. But Gu Gong and his son are ruthless. If they force you to comply today, what will happen tomorrow? Wouldn't what happened last night become a permanent handle in their hands?"
Zheng Huaping narrowed his cunning eyes. "Before you threaten me, think about whether your company has the power of the Gu family. Some things are just a minor injury to them, but they are a devastating blow to you."
Ji Ying realized that the other party was threatening her with Qing Sui's bankruptcy.
She nodded calmly, "Although Qing Sui can't touch Chen Xi, that elephant, if he's forced into a corner, he'll fight to the death. But you're different, President Zheng. Your foundation is here, and Gu Gong and his son are insatiable. I'm afraid you'll never have a peaceful day."
Zheng Huaping sensed something amiss in her words and asked, "What gives you the confidence to fight them to the death?"
Ji Ying took out an evidence bag from her bag.
When Zheng Huaping saw the bag inside, which still contained some powder residue, his face instantly darkened.
Ji Ying said, "There are Gu Yi's fingerprints on it. Although it can't prove much, it can at least prove that you are a victim."
Zheng Huaping remained silent for a long time, finally shedding some of his superior demeanor.
“I will tell the oversight board… I don’t remember what happened last night.”
“No,” Ji Ying pressed her fingertips heavily on the evidence bag, “I want you to clarify in person that this is a complete misunderstanding.”
Zheng Huaping's eyes hardened, and he lowered his voice: "Absolutely not. I will not do anything to damage my reputation, don't force me."
Ji Ying didn't speak, she just looked at him, her eyes revealing an unwavering stubbornness.
A stifling silence permeated the air.
After a long pause, Zheng Huaping suddenly laughed.
He had his assistant bring a stemmed glass large enough to hold 6,000 milliliters of wine and poured all the wine from his collection into it.
"After you finish drinking it, I will immediately call the regulatory agency and admit that everything I said before was drunken talk."
