Chapter 696: Right and Wrong, Merits and Demerits
Xun Zi was silent for a few seconds, but still asked the question in his mind.
"Mr. Qi, to be honest, the conditions you offer are indeed very good, so good that I can't believe it and dare not sign this cooperation. Why do you want to cooperate with Xiao Corporation?"
Qi Yunzhe looked at Xiao Muzhen beside him and said word by word: "I won't hide it from Xun Zi, I only cooperated with Xiao Corporation for Miss Xiao's sake."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
She knew that Qi Yunzhe liked her before, but she didn't think she had such great charm that Qi Yunzhe still couldn't forget her after so many years.
Xun Zi's smile instantly disappeared. "Mr. Qi, Zhenzhen is my daughter, and she has a fiancé now. If you're willing to cooperate with Xiao Corporation because of her, I'm sorry, I won't sign this contract."
After saying that, she stood up and took Xiao Muzhen away.
As the two of them walked to the door, Qi Yunzhe's voice came from behind them.
"Mr. Xun, you seem to have misunderstood. I don't intend to do anything to Miss Xiao. I simply want to help the Xiao family get through this difficult time because I hope Miss Xiao will live a good life."
Xun Zi turned around and looked at him, saying seriously, "Mr. Qi, now that I know how you feel about Zhenzhen, I won't sign this cooperation. I don't want my daughter to feel guilty about taking advantage of you when she faces you. Let's work together again next time if there's a chance. Goodbye."
Qi Yunzhe's eyes flashed with surprise, "Boss Xun, have you thought about it? No company would offer such conditions."
"I would rather Xiao's company go bankrupt than sell my own daughter."
Qi Yunzhe's expression turned a little ugly. "Boss Xun, I've said before, I don't expect anything in return from Miss Xiao."
"That's not necessary."
Without giving Qi Yunzhe another chance to speak, Xun Zi directly pulled Xiao Muzhen away.
After getting in the car, she said unhappily, "If I had known that he was cooperating with Xiao Corporation for you, I wouldn't have come here to waste my time today. However, Qi Corporation's polymer materials research and development is good. If we can cooperate on an equal footing, it would also be a good partner."
In recent years, the Qi family has established a firm foothold in the capital by relying on research and development in this area.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips. "Actually, cooperating with Qi Corporation isn't bad. He said it himself, and he doesn't need anything in return from me. Besides, cooperating with Xiao Corporation will also increase Qi Corporation's reputation. Once Xiao Corporation's crisis is over, Qi Corporation will be known as a timely helper, which will also be good for Qi Corporation's corporate image. So, he doesn't gain nothing from this cooperation."
After all, corporate image is also very important for a company.
"In any case, knowing that he had such feelings for you, I would not cooperate with him. Your father and I have worked so hard over the years just to hope that you and your brothers would not have to consider whether or not they could help the Xiao Group when choosing a spouse. Okay, let's go back to the company."
Knowing that Xun Zi’s decision could not be changed, Xiao Muzhen said nothing more, started the car and left.
When Qi Yunzhe walked out of the teahouse, he just saw Xiao Muzhen's car disappear from his sight.
He took out his cell phone and made a call, saying calmly, "Xiao refused to cooperate."
He didn't know what was said over there, but he smiled and said, "That's all in the past. Now I just want to protect my family."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and when they hung up the phone, Qi Yunzhe's screen clearly showed the name of the person who had just called - Tang Ruxing.
After returning to the company, Xiao Muzhen just sat down when a message popped up on WeChat. It was sent by Shen Tian.
[Zhenzhen, have you heard about the falling out between Liang Zixuan and Jin Yi?]
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. He casually replied "I don't know" and went to look at the documents.
When she came back after reading a few documents, she saw that Shen Tian had sent her more than a dozen messages.
[I heard that the reason was that Huo Yunting lost his position as CEO of Huo's company, so Liang Zixuan organized a party last night and invited Jin Yi, Qi Yunzhe, and Huo Yunting to drink together, hoping to comfort Huo Yunting. In the end, Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe didn't show up.]
[Later, Jin Yi lied to Liang Zixuan, saying he was on a business trip to the branch office. Liang Zixuan went to his house and found him drinking with Qi Yunzhe, and then they had a falling out.]
…
I didn't expect Huo Yunting to be so miserable. I guess Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe see that he's no longer the CEO of Huo's company, so they look down on him and don't plan to associate with him anymore.
[Tsk tsk tsk, Jin Yi is such a piece of shit. It's a good thing we broke up in the first place.]
Seeing this news, Xiao Muzhen bit her lower lip.
Speaking of which, Huo Yunting probably ended up like this because he wanted to help the Xiao family. Should she comfort him?
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Muzhen closed the open dialog box.
If she went to find Huo Yunting now, she could do nothing except offer words of comfort, and words of comfort would probably be of no use to him.
She lowered her eyes and sent a message to Huo Yiyi, asking her to have dinner together after get off work that evening.
"You said you wanted to help my brother get back the position of CEO of Huo Corporation?!"
When Huo Yiyi heard Xiao Muzhen's words while eating, she almost spit out the juice in her mouth.
"Um."
Xiao Muzhen looked at Huo Yiyi seriously and spoke word by word, "Your brother was removed from the position of CEO because his controlling stake in Huo's company fell below 50%. As long as his holdings return to this level, he can return to that position."
Huo Yiyi sighed, "This is easy to say, but difficult to do."
"It won't be difficult. As far as I know, some shareholders of Huo's already want to sell their shares."
When this matter was mentioned, Huo Yiyi's expression suddenly became extremely angry. "Yes, someone wants to sell it, but they are planning to sell it to Tang Ruxing! I'm so angry!"
"If Tang Ruxing buys shares, we can dilute his shares. As long as we can find someone who has no connection with us and is willing to invest in the Huo family, it will be fine."
"But where can I find such a person? Besides, I don't have that much money."
"I have."
A look of surprise flashed in Huo Yiyi's eyes, and then she frowned.
"Zhenzhen...don't you have no feelings for my brother? Why are you still willing to help him?"
"I helped him because you also said that he sold his shares in Huo's to help Xiao's, and his leaving Huo's would not benefit Xiao's at all."
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen showed no signs of lying, Huo Yiyi mourned for Huo Yunting in her heart. Xiao Muzhen really didn't like him anymore.
"Who are you going to look for?"
"I already have a candidate in mind. If the deal is successful, I'll let you know."
"Well, my brother has been very secretive lately. I don't know what he's been doing."
Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed, "He should be trying to find a way to take back the Huo Group. After all, he was the one who brought the Huo Group to its current height."
If Huo's company was acquired by Tang Ruxing, all of Huo Yunting's efforts over the years would be in vain.
