Chapter 423 Does this have anything to do with the topic you just talked about?
Jiang Zhiyue received a call from Mu Liansheng just after she finished her professional exam.
He withheld several large transaction funds from the Sheng family's side branches, but Old Master Sheng actually went to Mu's father in person to put pressure on him.
Mu Liansheng said helplessly on the phone, "This makes it very difficult for me. I am not as popular as you. If Mr. Sheng closes my family's bank in Northwest Lizhou, it will be a big trouble."
"Zhiyue, if Mr. Sheng knew what I did, would he think I liked you? And you refused to marry me, so I'm the one who suffers in the deal with you."
The bank opened by the Mu family is affiliated with the three states of the Sheng family and monopolizes all the wealth of the local dignitaries. The trust business of the Sheng family, underground private wealth and various confidential businesses are all handled by the Mu family, who only charge a 5% fee.
The reason why Jiang Zhiyue was able to convince Mu Liansheng was because after Sheng Hui came to power, he planned to impose high taxes on major local financial groups and further attack Mu’s Bank.
Jiang Zhiyue ruined the celebration ceremony, which was a perfect benefit to the Mu family.
But Jiang Zhiyue had already anticipated the worst outcome for the two of them, as they were courting disaster. She had already asked Sheng Huaian to redraft a contract with the legal team left by Sheng's father.
If Mu Liansheng dares to do something weird, Sheng Huaian can just raise the price. Since both parties regard the transaction as no longer existing, then neither of them should abide by the rules.
"The contract signed between Mu and my uncle is expiring this year. Before my uncle fell into a coma, he entrusted the relevant matters to Brother Huai'an, who has the right to sign on his behalf. Master Mu, Brother Huai'an now holds two new and old contracts in his hands. It is entirely up to you to decide which one to sign." The girl's voice sounded soft, but Mu Liansheng heard a clear threat in it.
A low laugh escaped from the depths of his throat, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and infatuation.
"As expected, you have changed from a maid in Zhaoye to Miss Sheng. You are really different now. Zhiyue, you have me under your thumb."
Jiang Zhiyue was too lazy to listen to his smooth talk and hung up the phone directly. Not long after, Mu Liansheng sent another message, inviting her to meet in the restaurant. The picture attached was a receipt for the cash flow of the Sheng family's side branch.
These two days, Sheng Huaian went to the neighboring city due to busy business. No one knew what he was busy with, and Jiang Zhiyue never took the initiative to ask.
Not to mention that the outside world was amazed at her change of life experience, Jiang Zhiyue herself had not adapted to this change. She had not integrated into the Sheng family at all. When Old Man Sheng invited her to dinner at the old house, many unfamiliar faces turned to her with smiles, and the indirect compliments only made her feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Sheng's concern for Jiang Wanrou seems to be giving her the real estate and material things she deserves, but the implicit hint in his words is that he is still asking Jiang Wanrou to come forward to clarify the "misunderstanding" between her and Lin's mother.
Mother Lin's life was not easy, not only because she was implicated by Old Madam Sheng, but in the final analysis, it was because her methods were too clumsy.
In the circle of noble ladies, which woman is not ruthless? But they all know that shameful deeds cannot be exposed in the sun. Lin Xian'er was broken off from engagement, Lin Jun escaped from prison, and all these things made the image of the Lin family plummet.
Because of this, Lin's mother was expelled from the group of ladies, and she was so angry that she ran to Grandpa Sheng every day to complain.
So Mr. Sheng told Jiang Wanrou that considering her special status, the Sheng family would never allow Jiang Zhiyue to marry into any of the six major families.
"The birthday gift from the Chu family is good, but the gift should be given in the name of Xian'er, not Zhiyue. Do you and your daughter understand?"
When Mr. Sheng was talking to Jiang Wanrou, he asked the servant to invite her to the door. Through the slightly open study door, the people inside could not see Jiang Zhiyue, but Jiang Zhiyue heard every word very clearly.
Since Mr. Sheng is happy to play the villain in front of Chu Junyue, why not let him play the villain?
Jiang Zhiyue did not show sadness as everyone expected, which surprised those who wanted to watch the show.
She packed up her textbooks and prepared to leave the classroom.
"You... must feel that you are the center of attention now. You have obtained all the honors that did not originally belong to your circle." At this moment, a female voice sounded in my ears.
With her dazzling golden curls shining, Bai Yanzhu is still as beautiful as when I first met her, and her face is filled with a kind smile.
Jiang Zhiyue greeted her openly.
Bai Yanzhu's smile obviously froze, and she kept looking at her with a complicated look.
"You ruined my life, how can you act like nothing happened? Is it because you feel safe because you are favored?"
"Seeing that I have been following Ah Si, you must have been laughing at me in your heart. Have you ever thought that you are the third party who interfered?"
Jiang Zhiyue stood there for a while with a heavy canvas bag on her back. Bai Yanzhu kept talking, completely unaware that she was blocking the road.
Jiang Zhiyue, "You sent Chu Xiao to kill me, are you a murderer?"
Bai Yanzhu was stunned. She didn't expect to hear such words.
"Miss Bai, you stayed near the woods at the horse farm that day. Did you want to see with your own eyes whether Chu Xiao would really kill me, or were you just passing by unintentionally? You know it in your heart."
"If the president wasn't there, I would have most likely not been able to dodge that arrow. Maybe my luck was just too good, which annoyed you, so you were willing to take the risk of killing me even if you ran into the president."
"Do you think that the arrow I shot at you was out of revenge?"
Jiang Zhiyue had no intention of getting entangled with her on the issue of Qin Si. Even Xiao Jingrun initially thought that the arrow shot on the horse field was revenge. In the eyes of everyone, she was just a third party who interfered with the relationship between the golden boy and the jade girl, a "murderer" who murdered the original wife.
If it weren't for Qin Si's suppression, this matter would have already caused a sensation in the city.
Jiang Zhiyue asked: "Have you seen the president recently?"
Bai Yanzhu's face changed completely, thinking that Jiang Zhiyue had discovered some secret. During the holidays, she would send messages to Xiao Jingrun and occasionally exchange a few words with him.
Xiao Jingrun's attitude towards her was always indifferent and far from friendly.
"Does this have anything to do with the topic you were talking about just now?" Bai Yanzhu showed impatience.
Of course it does matter.
The situation in Brandenberg has become increasingly chaotic recently, and traces of rebel forces have begun to appear on the outskirts of the city in Monte State.
The change in the atmosphere of bullying, vanity and arrogance at Wharton College was closely related to this incident. High-end shopping malls across the country began to implement identity verification, and people entering and leaving the school had to undergo strict identity checks.
The division between rich areas and poor areas has become stricter and more thorough.
The borders of each area are patrolled by armed police officers 24 hours a day to ensure order.
