"What? Gu Hai is just a manager of the company. Does Gu Hai have a boss above him?"
Upon hearing Liu Shang's words, Zhou Ruan looked at him with disbelief and asked him a question.
Zhou Wen didn't show anything on her face, but she was also shocked inside.
If someone managing a company has such a grand entourage, then the person behind them must be some enormous behemoth!
"That's right, Gu Hai can only be considered a small fry; the person behind him is the real big boss."
Seeing Zhou Ruan's disbelieving look, Liu Shang spoke confidently to the two people opposite him.
"Gu Hai is just a small fry. What does he have to do with the Jiang Group? Why are we being told to find Lu Fan?"
Zhou Ruan didn't understand what connection Gu Hai had with Lu Fan, or why Lu Fan was being used to control him, and expressed her doubts to Liu Shang.
"Only Gu Hai knows who the big boss is, but I found some clues through a few leads, and it seems to be related to Lu Fan's Jiang Group."
Liu Shang shared his analysis with the two of them.
"You mean Lu Fan is the behind-the-scenes boss of that company!"
Zhou Ruan angrily asked Liu Shang.
"Calm down. Lu Fan is not Gu Hai's behind-the-scenes boss, but this behind-the-scenes boss is definitely someone close to him."
Seeing Zhou Ruan get angry right after he finished speaking, Liu Shang calmly waved his hand and said.
"Someone close to him?"
After listening to Liu Shang's words, Zhou Ruan also quieted down and began to think, imagining who would be by Lu Fan's side?
Zhou Wen also remembered what Lu Fan had said during the day, telling her that she could come to him anytime if she encountered any difficulties.
Did he already know about this all along?
"Mr. Zhou, can you have Lu Fan handle this on your end?"
Liu Shang shifted his gaze from Zhou Ruan and looked at Zhou Wen, who had been sitting there lost in thought and hadn't spoken, and asked her a question.
"Okay, but there's one condition for us to cooperate with you."
Zhou Wen came to her senses and said to Liu Shang.
"Sure, name your terms!"
Hearing that Zhou Wen could persuade Lu Fan, Liu Shang felt that his grand plan could finally have a chance of success.
I'm eager to know what Zhou Wen's conditions are.
"Help me find out what you have against Gu Hai!"
Zhou Wen didn't hold back and made her demands to Liu Shang.
"This is a bit difficult. If I help you get it, and then Gu Hai doesn't have any leverage over you, he can just kick me aside. Wouldn't all my planning have been for nothing?"
Hearing Zhou Wen's proposed conditions, although they were somewhat difficult.
However, it wasn't to the point where it couldn't be completed, but the thought that this photo was the basis for the cooperation between the two Zhou sisters made them realize that the task was not impossible.
Without this photo, would they still cooperate with me?
He expressed his concerns to the two of them.
"Don't worry about that. As long as you help us get those photos back, we'll definitely help you get promoted. Our hatred for Gu Hai is no joke. How could we let such a good opportunity slip by? Right, sis?"
The thought of that bastard Gu Hai who threatened them made Zhou Ruan furious.
After saying that, she looked at Liu Shang, who was still somewhat incredulous, and turned to ask her sister.
“My sister is right. We and Gu Hai are irreconcilable enemies. You can rest assured about that. As long as we get the photos tomorrow, we will fully cooperate with you. Besides, you don’t want an ally who can be threatened by Gu Hai at any time, do you?”
Zhou Wen nodded and said to Liu Shang.
"Okay, I'll send that over tomorrow. You all need to do your jobs tomorrow too."
Liu Shang carefully weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Just as Zhou Wen said, if they don't get this thing back, they won't do anything for them.
If Gu Hai threatens them with the photos again, all their plans will be in vain.
After much hesitation, I agreed.
“Okay, I’ll have someone bring it over tomorrow at noon. I hope you’ll be there too, so you can tell me everything you know.”
Zhou Wen knew that Liu Shang would definitely have a way to get his hands on the photos.
Once I get the photos back, I'll have no more worries.
Even if Gu Hai tries to threaten me, I've been in the workplace for many years and I'm not easily jealous.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go get those photos now, but I hope you'll keep your promise."
Liu Shang nodded, and was quite satisfied with Zhou Wen's arrangements, so he stood up and spoke to her.
"We're sorry we can't see you off. See you tomorrow!"
Just as Zhou Ruan was about to get up to see Liu Shang out, Zhou Wen grabbed her as she stood up and said to Liu Shang.
"OK."
Liu Shang got up and left the office, smiling as he greeted Zhizhi, who was making coffee.
Zhizhi smiled and waved her hand.
Only after Liu Shang had completely left the coffee shop did Zhizhi remember that he had greeted her earlier.
Isn't that the person who was watching from across the street a few days ago?
She glanced again and saw that he was coming out of the office. Remembering that Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan were still in the office, she quickly ran over.
"Sister Wen, Sister Ruan, are you alright? I'm here to rescue you."
Zhizhi burst into the office, opened the door, and shouted.
Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan, who were sitting on the sofa, stared blankly at Zhizhi who had suddenly barged in.
"I just saw that jerk who was watching our store leave the office. Are you all alright? Check if anything is missing?"
Zhizhi pointed outside and said to the two of them in fear.
"Don't be afraid, he's a good friend of ours now, but don't tell anyone about this."
Zhou Ruan pinched Zhizhi's cute face, then made a shushing gesture.
"Oh. I promise I won't tell anyone."
Zhizhi didn't understand what Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan wanted to do either.
But he had been with them for a long time and they wouldn't harm him, so he nodded and said.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go home. Zhizhi, you can ride in my car later, I'll take you home."
Looking at the time on her phone, Zhou Wen realized it was getting late and said to Zhizhi in front of her.
"Great!"
When Zhizhi heard that she would be able to leave work early, she skipped and hopped off to change her clothes and pack her things.
Liu Shang returned to the other side and saw his boss come out. Everyone stood up.
"Boss, did they agree?"
Seeing that Liu Shang had returned, they realized that these people were all trained by Liu Shang and were loyal to him without any disloyalty.
They knew what their boss was doing, and they all unconditionally supported Liu Shang.
"In short, they've agreed, but they've put forward one condition!"
Looking at his subordinates, Liu Shang didn't hide anything and spoke to them.
"These two bitches dare to make demands? Aren't we indirectly helping them too?"
One of his subordinates heard that the Zhou sisters had conditions.
He immediately got angry and said indignantly.
