Although Zhou Jiaxing had never been very noticeable, he was closely monitoring all of Lu Zheng and his group's movements.
Of course, this also includes the methods used by someone to sabotage Lu Zheng and his group in secret.
But he didn't expect Lu Zheng to pull such a stunt, sending Li Jingxuan straight to jail.
The day after Lu's Corporation held its press conference, police officers went to Li Jingxuan's mansion and took him away.
Li Gu did not obstruct him at all.
Sacrificing his son is now his only option.
Otherwise, the entire company will suffer.
Zhou Jiaxing frowned as he looked at all the documents placed on his desk.
He then took a deep breath. Seeing this, his secretary said softly, "Young Master, your father will be here in a couple of days. Do you think we should put the matter concerning Mingxiang on hold for now?"
After all, the old man certainly wouldn't want him to waste his time on a woman.
The Zhou family is no ordinary family. Unlike Li Gu, who seems like a powerful businessman on the surface, they are people who can control the whole situation remotely.
Zhou Jiaxing looked up at her secretary's eager gaze, shook her head, and said, "No, I will not only not give up on Mingxiang, but I will also make it even more obvious."
The secretary was somewhat surprised.
This week, Jiaxing is a fairly rational person. At least he's different from those rich kids who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. How could he make a stupid mistake regarding Mingxiang?
But after all, she was just a secretary, an employee. Her young master had already made his decision, and there was no need for her, as a secretary, to say anything that the other party didn't want to hear.
So she decided to go out.
Zhou Jiaxing laughed and said, "Do you think I'm being foolish by dwelling on Mingxiang and Lu Zheng's situation too much?"
The secretary quickly smiled and said, "Young Master, no!"
How could she dare?
Zhou Jiaxing shook her head: "Your thoughts are written all over your face, but you're wrong. The reason I'm keeping an eye on Mingxiang is partly because Lu Zheng stole the woman who was originally mine, and partly because I want to show my father."
“He is a passionate person. I want him to understand that I am different from my brother. In addition, Mingxiang has a unique vision. When we work together, we will bring a different level.”
“My father is a shrewd man, and he knows this, so I want to show him my perseverance.”
Upon hearing this, the secretary suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "Young Master is astute; I was foolish."
Zhou Jiaxing stood atop a towering building, hands in his pockets, gazing out at the city's skyscrapers with a smug smile on his face.
It's good news that his father is coming.
However, he felt that a powerful alliance could be formed.
...
Lu Zheng and the others were unaware of what Zhou Jiaxing was going to do next, but Ming Xiang was somewhat uneasy after what happened with the Li Group.
She didn't know why, but she felt like something was about to happen these past few days.
After Lu Zheng finished his meeting, he noticed that she seemed distracted, so he came over, pulled her into his arms, and asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem absent-minded."
When Lu Zheng asked her this, Ming Xiang let out a soft sigh and turned to Lu Zheng, saying, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that something unexpected might happen in the next few days."
Mingxiang didn't understand, but Lu Zheng noticed: "Subconsciously, you're worried about Zhou Jiaxing, aren't you?"
"Hmm? It really is!"
Mingxiang's eyes lit up instantly.
She had been tormented for the past two days, feeling like there was something she didn't understand. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out. Lu Zheng's point, however, made her feel much more at ease.
"My dear, you're so smart!" Mingxiang couldn't help but praise.
Lu Zheng chuckled: "Not really. The main thing is that Jiang Li'er's company no longer poses a threat to us. We have strong support from the city and investments from various sources. The city's inclination is now towards us."
"Li Gu is busy dealing with that mess, so even if he retaliates against us, it will take time. At least for the next month, his threat to our business will be minimal, and even minor acts of retaliation won't do us any harm."
“Mingjia Village… Under normal circumstances, they can only depend on us.”
"Without external intervention, these three parties have no way to take action against us."
"Then Zhou Jiaxing, who has been hiding in the shadows, poses the greatest threat to us."
Especially at times like this, it would be more reassuring if Zhou Jiaxing made any overt moves, but he seems to have made no move at all.
Mingxiang's subconscious worries could only come from him.
Once Lu Zheng was distracted like this, Ming Xiang nodded seriously: "But what do you think he will do next?"
Lu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know for now, but your reminder has made me realize something."
They should really start investigating this incident.
"I will send people to investigate. Don't worry, with me, Lu Zheng, here, any problem can be solved."
Ming Xiang scoffed, "I believe you."
"Mr. Lu." At this moment, a security guard rushed in and called out to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng turned to the security guard and asked, "What's wrong?"
The security guard said, "There's a young lady outside who claims to be Xia Linyu, the daughter of the president of Xia Hai Company, looking for you."
Lu Zheng knew about Xia Hai Company. It was a super-large company in the province. Although on the surface its market value was the same as Li Gu Company's, both were trillion-level companies.
However, the two are at completely different levels.
Xia Hai Company is backed by a powerful conglomerate that claims to never go bankrupt, and is also backed by numerous banks. Therefore, their market capitalization of trillions is genuine and does not rely on stocks.
Li Gu's group, however, was different. Li Gu's trillion-dollar conglomerate mainly relied on leverage for expansion and the impact of shareholders.
Before the trauma, the Li Group was said to be worth trillions, but in reality, like this incident, the company's market value shrank by 150 billion.
Even if Zhou Jiaxing's father came, he would still have to speak politely to a company as large as Xia Hai Company and would absolutely not dare to provoke them.
To be honest, Mingxiang's Ming Group and Lu Zheng's company are not much of a threat to the young lady of such a large company. So why did she come here?
Despite his thoughts, Lu Zheng still took Ming Xiang's hand and said, "Let's go take a look."
Ming Xiang nodded and followed Lu Zheng outside.
Right at the entrance, they saw a woman with a beautiful figure and excellent demeanor whispering something to her driver.
This woman's appearance was practically on par with Ming Xiang's; she was undoubtedly a peerless beauty, possessing unparalleled charm, only she appeared more aloof...
