In the studio.
Lin Xi is concentrating on painting and preparing for the next exhibition.
During this period, through her efforts and Zhou Cheng's help, she finally returned to the Painters Association and even held an important position in the association, enjoying great success.
At this moment, the annoying cell phone rang, disturbing her interest in painting.
Lin Xi frowned slightly. His inspiration for painting was interrupted. He felt a little annoyed and regretted not turning off his phone.
He lowered his eyes and saw the name on the caller ID. It was Assistant Liu who was beside Lin Shichang.
She suppressed her inner irritation, picked up the phone, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Hello, Assistant Liu."
"Has my father become the chairman of the Lin Group?"
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, then he spoke.
"No, Miss Lin, because Representative Zheng and some of the shareholders who had reached an agreement switched to General Manager Lin, General Manager Lin was not elected Chairman of the Lin Group."
"I called you to remind you to be careful of Mr. Lin."
"Boss Lin just had a rage in the office. He's in a terrible state. What happens next might be bad for you."
Lin Xi widened his eyes in shock, and was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and speaking calmly.
"Thank you very much, Assistant Liu, for bringing me this news. Thank you for your hard work this time. I will have someone transfer the compensation to your account."
Assistant Liu smiled with satisfaction and responded flatteringly.
"Thank you, Miss. If you need any help from me in the future, please feel free to ask."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi's face quickly darkened.
She didn't expect her brother to betray her.
Her brother had clearly promised to help her, why did he suddenly go back on his word?
Could it be that her brother had been lying to her from the beginning?
With doubts, she immediately picked up the phone and called Zhou Cheng.
The other party seemed to have expected her to call, and quickly answered the phone. Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, Zhou Cheng spoke directly.
"Xixi, I know why you're looking for me, but I can't explain it in a few words right now. I'll come find you after the meeting."
"No need, I'll go directly to Zhou Group to find you."
"good."
An hour later.
Lin Xi's car arrived at the Zhou Group's building.
The driver respectfully opened the back door, and Lin Xi, wearing sunglasses, got out of the car gracefully, his eyes filled with anger.
During this period, Lin Xi's image changed drastically. She no longer went for the little white flower route, but instead adopted a mature and gentle style.
Now she is wearing light makeup, pearl earrings, a black knitted dress and a pair of high-heeled boots.
Under the guidance of the secretary, we arrived at Zhou Cheng's reception room.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, his mind full of questions he would ask Zhou Cheng later.
Waited for more than ten minutes.
Zhou Cheng finally finished the meeting and came to the reception room, where he saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa wearing sunglasses.
He sighed in his heart, walked to Lin Xi helplessly and sat down.
"Xixi, you probably want to ask me why I don't support Lin Shichang, right?"
Lin Xi took off her sunglasses, with anger on her face, staring at the man in front of her, as if accusing him of betrayal, with fire in her eyes as she questioned.
"Brother, why did you lie to me?"
"You clearly promised me that you would help my father become the chairman of the Lin Group. Why did you betray me without any warning?"
"Or did you never forgive me last time, and you're making fun of me just to help Lin Xuqiu get revenge?"
Lin Xi became more and more excited as he spoke, his expression became a little ferocious, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Faced with Lin Xi's series of questions, Zhou Cheng frowned.
The affairs of the Zhou Group were enough to worry him, and now he had to deal with his sister's questioning. He looked a little tired.
"Xixi, calm down first."
"How do you expect me to calm down?"
"If Lin Shichang fails to become the chairman, I will no longer be the chairman's daughter, and you will have ruined all my plans."
"Besides, I made a promise to Lin Shichang before. Now that he hasn't become chairman, he will definitely take out his anger on me and my mother."
"Brother, you don't care about my life or death at all, you only have Lin Xuqiu in your eyes..."
Zhou Cheng started to explain only after Lin Xi had finished venting.
"Xixi, this matter has nothing to do with Xuqiu."
"From the beginning, I had no intention of supporting Lin Shichang."
"Because Lin Shichang has been using you from the beginning. Once he becomes chairman, your situation will only get worse."
"Don't forget that he has an illegitimate child, and you're just a painter. Do you think he will hand over the Lin Group to you when the time comes?"
"Once he's done using you, he might just kick you away."
"By then, he won't need to worry about me, because he's the chairman with all the power, and my status as a shareholder won't have any influence on him."
Lin Xi had considered these things.
That was why she wanted to ruin the illegitimate child so that he would have no chance of becoming the heir.
Even if she doesn't know how to manage a business, she will be able to find someone capable to help her manage the company.
The reason why she was so confident was that she had won every battle during this period, kicked out the mistress, sent away the illegitimate daughter, and made the illegitimate child listen to her, and Lin Shichang didn't know all this.
She felt that Lin Shichang was not as scary as she had imagined, at least he was easy to fool, so she planned to wait until Lin Shichang became the chairman, and then she would use some means to seize everything that belonged to her.
Even if all the previous plans failed, at worst she was still the chairman's daughter. Even if she couldn't inherit the entire Lin family business, she could still choose to marry a man with a prominent family background, just like Lin Xuqiu.
