Shang Wu subconsciously looked around.
What a coincidence?
As soon as she arrived at Dingfeng, Xiao Dong immediately informed Zhou Yanci.
Shang Wu took out her car keys: "I'll tell you when I get back."
She hung up the phone and drove home.
On the passenger seat was the contract she had shown Lu Rang.
From now on, every step she takes will likely not go as Zhou Yanci wishes.
Lu Rang's entry into the company was the first thing Shang Wu did in order to rebel against Zhou Yanci.
Whoever compromises with whom depends on their own abilities.
Shang Wu glanced at her lightly made-up reflection in the rearview mirror, her gaze gradually sharpening.
When she got home and opened the door, she saw Zhou Yanci sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "Words."
Zhou Yanci looked up at her, her face stern: "You know perfectly well that Jinshui and Dingfeng are rivals, yet you still hired their people as legal counsel? If Jinshui finds out about this, will he still be loyal to me in the future?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, got up and came to Shang Wu.
"Or do you, Ah Wu, feel more at ease having a lawyer who has nothing to do with me as an advisor?"
Shang Wu was taken aback, her voice filled with an incredulous sense of grievance.
"Yan Ci, what nonsense are you spouting? How could you think of me like that? I never went to Dingfeng to find someone just to guard against you."
Zhou Yanci clearly didn't believe her, her gaze unfathomable.
He turned around and sat down at the table, frowning: "Then give me a reasonable explanation that can convince me."
Shang Wu walked over, sat down next to Zhou Yanci, and gently took his hand.
“I’ve entrusted all my brother’s matters to Jinshui Law Firm. I’ve never distrusted Jinshui or you.”
Zhou paused, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly realized that it was because Shang Wu trusted him too much back then.
He said he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, and Shang Wu believed him.
He said the maximum sentence reduction was eight years, and Shang Wu believed him.
Over the years, whenever Shang Wu tried to find a way to reduce her brother's sentence, he would always turn her away.
Even if the whole world doesn't believe him, doesn't believe his lawyer, Shang Wu will still believe him.
Shang Wu looked at Zhou Yanci, who was deep in thought.
"I sought out people from Dingfeng for our future."
Zhou Yanci suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked at her with an indescribable expression.
"For our future?"
Shang Wu said, "Think about it. According to our contract, the branch's profits will be given to you first, and then distributed to the shareholders by the finance department according to your shareholding ratio in Chengzhou Shares, right?"
Zhou Yanci pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Although he owns 100% of the shares, it's only to guarantee Shang Wu's investment; he didn't bring in other shareholders.
However, the establishment of the branch was approved by the board of directors, and the money was raised by shareholders through crowdfunding.
In the future, dividends will still be distributed according to the prescribed ratio.
"I was thinking about how to reduce the revenue generated by the divisions, so that at least half of it would not have to be distributed to the shareholders."
Shang Wu smiled, her eyes crinkling: "I just happened to find out that there is a lawyer at Dingfeng Law Firm who can help with this, so I'm planning to recruit him."
Zhou Yanci's expression finally softened.
"Then why don't you go to Jinshui? I don't believe that Jinshui can't do such a thing, and he knows more about you than a lawyer you don't know, so he's trustworthy."
Shang Wu looked up, helpless: "Jinshui Law Firm not only has a close relationship with you, but also gets along well with the shareholders. Can you guarantee that this matter won't be leaked?"
Zhou Yanci paused, then fell silent.
Upon closer inspection, something seems amiss.
But Shang Wu's explanation is indeed very reasonable.
Firstly, it was to avoid being discovered, and secondly, it was to maximize their profits.
Nobody turns down money.
Power generates wealth, and wealth, in turn, generates power.
Zhou Yanci has always dreamed of becoming a superior person.
Just as the Yu family of Wanhu rose to prominence and was admired by everyone, Zhou Yanci also aspires to stand at that same height and not be looked down upon by anyone.
Whether it was the business tycoons who suppressed him or his cousins who looked down on him.
They all had to bow down and submit to him.
Zhou Yanci thought carefully for a moment before finally speaking.
"Alright, you can handle this, but you must guarantee that the plan you just made will come to fruition."
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Of course, I will definitely work hard to achieve it so that we can have a better life in the future."
Zhou Yanci was finally relieved.
He gazed at Shang Wu's breathtaking beauty and her affectionate eyes, and a thought stirred within him.
"Awu, how can you be so capable and smart? And you always care about me and love me so much."
Zhou Yanci's tone suddenly became gentle and ambiguous as he gently lifted Shang Wu's chin, his gaze intense.
He smiled and chuckled, "Having such a capable and virtuous wife like you is my blessing, Ah Wu, I really love you to death..."
Zhou Yanci lowered his head to kiss Shang Wu's luscious red lips.
Shang Wu exclaimed in surprise, her face changing color. She immediately raised her hand to cover Zhou Yanci's mouth. "By the way, Yanci, I suddenly remembered something."
Before Zhou Yanci could feel any displeasure at being interrupted, her attention was drawn back to what was said.
"What's up?"
Shang Wu smiled and said, "I bought you a gift when I passed by the mall last time. Wait here, I'll go up and get it for you now."
She turned away and quickly went upstairs to the changing room.
Only after the door closed did Shang Wu reveal an expression of utter disgust.
She almost slapped him just now, but luckily she held back and managed to get away with it by making up an excuse.
Ever since she learned about the disgusting things Zhou Yanci and Shen Mian did at the company, she found it increasingly unbearable to tolerate the two despicable people.
