Chapter 254: The Secret of the Silver
The next time Lin Shutang saw news about Yao Qianqian was when he was having dinner with Jiang Qinyuan.
Jiang Qinyuan was scrolling through her phone, nearly spitting out her drink. She handed the phone to Lin Shutang and asked, "Is this the woman you mentioned last time who drowned the bread?"
Lin Shutang took the phone, nodded, and then asked: "Have you seen her before?"
"Yeah. Zhang Ran came to my house and showed her photo to my brother. I happened to be there, but before I could hear a few words, my brother chased me away."
Lin Shutang nodded in understanding. The business world was like that; people who came into contact with each other were always the same people. So, it didn't surprise Lin Shutang that Zhang Ran would go looking for Jiang Beiqian.
Lin Shutang was looking through the entertainment gossip on Jiang Qinyuan's phone. It turned out that it was Mr. Zhao's wife who had directly posted the two people's homestay booking records on the Internet.
Jiang Qinyuan: "This Mr. Zhao's wife is not someone you can easily mess with. Almost every mistress Mr. Zhao had before was exposed online by her."
At this point, Jiang Qinyuan seemed to be gloating, yet also smiled with disdain: "Yao Qianqian is also very courageous, choosing such a person."
Lin Shutang drank milk tea and asked doubtfully, "Is he a habitual cheater?"
"Yeah." Jiang Qinyuan found a few photos and handed the phone to Lin Shutang. "It's been like this since three or four years ago. At first, the shares of the Zhao family company would fluctuate accordingly, but then everyone seemed to get used to his affairs. In recent years, the news of his infidelity has basically had no impact on the company. This year, just from what I remember, including Yao Qianqian, there have been four cases. There was a lot of discussion online, but the company hasn't been affected at all."
Lin Shutang looked through the photos and found that all the women in them were young and beautiful.
"If I were Mrs. Zhao, I would have divorced her long ago. I'm staying with such an ugly man, and he's still restless."
Lin Shutang didn't comment on Jiang Qinyuan's words. However, he could see some reasons behind Madam Zhao's actions.
At this stage, for a family like theirs, there's more to consider than just individual happiness. There are so many interests involved that if they truly need to separate, it's difficult to find a perfect solution based on the interests involved. Forced separation would be detrimental to both parties.
It's possible to conceal the news of Mr. Zhao's infidelity, but it's a ticking time bomb. So, rather than hiding it and waiting for it to explode, it's better to reveal it bit by bit, letting everyone get used to it. Let shareholders know that, no matter what, they won't divorce, their marriage won't change, and their equity structure won't alter.
Lin Shutang didn't know how correct his guess was, but just as Jiang Qinyuan said, this Mrs. Zhao was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and she was also very smart.
While scrolling through the video, Jiang Qinyuan suddenly thought of something, turned off the screen and put down the phone, looking at Lin Shutang: "The flowers in your circle of friends~"
Jiang Qinyuan's tone rose at the end of her voice, a gossipy look on her face. She knew that Li Yansheng had taken Lin Shutang hiking a few days ago, and she had also heard about the hydrangeas in the guesthouse on that mountain.
I had just been there, and upon returning, Li Yansheng had hydrangeas planted there. The reason for this was obvious. But now that I remembered it, I couldn't help but tease, "Did Li Yansheng plant them for you?"
After all, she is also the number one CP fan of Lin Shutang and Li Yansheng.
Lin Shutang lowered his eyes and continued drinking milk tea. He seemed to be avoiding looking at her, but he didn't deny it either.
Jiang Qinyuan smiled meaningfully: "You still feel embarrassed in front of your sisters! Then in real life, you must be completely controlled by President Li."
This time, Lin Shutang looked up and replied, "No way."
The tone of the rebuttal lacks strength, and it feels like he's trying to cover up his own faults, which is not very convincing.
That day, the two chatted for a long time, and Yao Qianqian in the corner also listened for a long time. There was a book in front of her, but she didn't turn over two pages in the whole afternoon.
