Chapter 428: Into the Tiger's Mouth Again
"I have no interest in, and no patience for, your twists and turns," Chen Weiming finally showed up. He sat opposite Zhai Jinpeng and stared at him gloomily. "It seems that you two have done nothing."
"According to your approach, you want to kill him, but if he 'dies' you will be finished too, and your demands will be even more impossible to achieve." Zhai Jinpeng responded calmly.
"Ha, yours and mine, you know the difference very well now." He smiled coldly, his face becoming gloomier. "Don't think I don't know that you have met that woman. What? You were drugged in two seconds? This is her usual trick, be careful not to fall into her trap."
Zhai Jinpeng let out a breath and thought of what Xiang Nuan had said. She could ignore Yuan Zhen, not argue with him, and even be willing to help him, but Chen Weiming would have to pay the price.
"There's something I can't figure out," he said slowly, "Why don't you go find the old man?"
Tsk! Chen Weiming sneered disdainfully. Did he not go looking for it? From a loyal guard dog to a casually abandoned stray dog, it was just a matter of a moment.
"Are you ready to kick me out? What benefit did that woman give you? Don't say I didn't warn you. Be careful."
"Should I be careful of her or you?" Zhai Jinpeng hated his expression and suddenly changed his face.
Chen Weiming was stunned, and said seriously: "Don't forget what you have done. If I am done, you will not be well either."
"Don't forget, I'm the only one who can take you in now. You're being watched by the police."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Zhai Jinpeng sighed and returned to his indifferent expression: "So I asked you why you didn't ask the old man for help. After all, you are his right-hand man."
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you going to do next?"
"What can we do? The photo in Yuanzhen's hand was originally intended to discredit him, but it was easily resolved and now it has become a piece of waste paper. I can't think of any other cards that can be used to hold him back. And I'm afraid that Yuanzhen has found other benefits and is going to turn against us."
Chen Weiming slammed his fist on the table, and the loud bang scared Zhai Jinpeng.
"Let's do it my way." He said gritting his teeth.
"No, brother, you are an elite executive, why do you always act in a Liangshan style when encountering problems?!"
Chen Weiming waved his hands impatiently, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore. Use your brain? Even if he had ten brains, it would not be as good as Xiang Nuan. It would be better to just do something simple and rough. Just like last time, wasn't the problem solved? !
"Call her and arrange a meeting with her."
"Now? You think too highly of me."
"Tell her you got the photo of Yuan Zhen and you can give it to her to put an end to the trouble forever."
"Tsk..." Zhai Jinpeng sneered. He wanted to say that you must be crazy, but when he saw Chen Weiming's face already beginning to twist, he decided not to provoke him.
"It will be effective only if we do it now, before the show airs." Chen Weiming became more ferocious.
Zhai Jinpeng still made the call, and surprisingly Xiang Nuan agreed very readily.
"What did she say?" Chen Weiming asked.
"She said she wanted to see what photo made us so confident."
Humph, Chen Weiming sneered, this woman is about to pay the price for her arrogance.
An hour later, Xiang Nuan arrived at the hotel as promised. Chen Weiming was not surprised that she showed up alone. After all, it was a matter of privacy, and she was not stupid enough to bring a witness with her.
"Mr. Chen?" Xiang Nuan looked around in surprise, "So you are the one behind this photo."
"That's not the case. I'm not interested in celebrity gossip. I'm just borrowing the photos." Chen Weiming said with a wry smile.
"Where are the photos?"
"Don't be impatient. We have to negotiate first before delivering."
"Then we have to inspect the goods first to see if it's worth wasting Mr. Chen's precious time."
"It seems that this photo is really interesting, but I was blind." Chen Weiming laughed. He gestured to Xiang Nuan to come into the room and locked the door.
Xiang Nuan was stunned for three seconds, then regained her composure.
"The photo is fake, but you're trying to use me to say it's true." Her voice cooled, but she was obviously much more alert: "What conditions are you going to change this time?"
"Huh, you are quite calm." Chen Weiming looked her up and down.
"You're familiar with the place." Xiang Nuan also sneered, "But you have to know that Jiang Chao and I have cleared the money and goods, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. He may not care about an irrelevant person."
"I won't bother Mr. Jiang, I'll bother Mr. Jiang this time."
"What can he do for you?"
"Withdraw the lawsuit, plus two million dollars."
"How much?!" Xiang Nuan raised her voice in surprise, as if she had heard something out of the ordinary: "How much is two million US dollars? I have never seen so much money. If I put it in this room... can it fit?"
"I don't know either. Shall we give it a try?"
Chen Weiming grinned, he seemed to want to make a scary expression, but it was somehow funny.
"Why are you alone? Your partner is unwilling to come forward?" Xiang Nuan looked around, "That's not what he said. He wants all the shares and options you sold to him to be restored to their original value. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, he is young and hot-headed after all. He probably doesn't know that the so-called original value is not as much as two million, right?"
"You talk more than before. I remember you didn't dare to say a word back then."
Xiang Nuan's expression suddenly changed. The memory of the "small dark room" was a nightmare that she never wanted to recall in her life.
"Call your husband." Chen Weiming's face darkened, making it clear that he had already said all the polite words.
"It's probably impossible to contact him now. You know his show will be on in a few hours."
"Don't make me do it."
"You can't contact him even if you try..."
Chen Weiming's hand suddenly rose in the air, and Xiang Nuan closed her mouth.
"Mr. Chen!" Zhai Jinpeng shouted, and walked out of the inner room. He glanced at Xiang Nuan, smiled and nodded, "Don't be so rude. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for her. Mrs. Jiang understands this. Yuan Zhen is in the studio now. You don't want her to suddenly say something to Mr. Jiang that would affect his program production, right?"
Xiang Nuan's expression really changed then, and her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
"I'm here to talk to Mrs. Jiang. Go have a drink and calm down." Zhai Jinpeng smiled and pushed Chen Weiming away, then poured Xiang Nuan a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, the ingredient list is very clean and there is no drug in it." He poured himself a full glass and drank it all in one breath.
"You two are really interesting. Since we have someone here, why don't you just let her and Yunhui say no? Why do you have to go through so much trouble with me?"
"Seeing is believing. Only when he sees you here with his own eyes, he can feel at ease to meet Mr. Chen's request."
"What about you? You work so hard for Mr. Chen, what do you want? The two million that Mr. Chen mentioned does not include your share, right?"
Zhai Jinpeng burst into laughter and drank another cup of tea before saying, "Mrs. Jiang is really funny."
"Don't listen to her nonsense..." Chen Weiming came over angrily, but was blocked by Zhai Jinpeng. While persuading him, he pushed him into the inner room and closed the door firmly.
He returned to Xiang Nuan, stared at her and let out a long breath, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have checked everything you asked me to check. Jiang Chao has 60% and President Jin has 35%."
"Do you understand?"
Zhai Jinpeng shook his head.
Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes at the ceiling and said, "The new company has nothing to do with the Jin and Jiang families. Both old men were kicked out. Do you understand now?"
This time, Zhai Jinpeng had an expression that looked as if he understood but not quite.
Oh my god, how did you become a top secretary in a business empire? Is it all because of your looks?
Just as he was about to continue asking questions, the door to the inner room slammed open.
"Don't bother. I've got through." He held the video phone in front of Xiang Nuan...
