Xue Wanning called Zhao Zhenan several times but no one answered, so she went directly to "Huaxin Group".
In Zhao Zhen'an's office, he rubbed his temples. "Didn't I tell you I was very busy today?"
Xue Wanning's tears flowed instantly. "Zhen'an, we're getting married soon. The rumors outside are so rampant, it's not good for you, is it?"
Zhao Zhenan sighed, "I told you before not to listen to the instigation of those people around you, did you listen?"
Xue Wanning paused for a few seconds while crying, then continued to complain, "But Uncle Zhao also said he could cause some trouble for that Jiang Xiaoli..."
Zhao Zhen'an's suppressed anger suddenly flared up, and he growled in a low voice, "I told you not to cause trouble, but to get yourself involved! If Jiang Xiaoli is a useless person who can't keep the company afloat just because her design drafts were stolen, do we need to target her?"
Xue Wanning looked at her in disbelief, "Zhen'an, you yelled at me because of another woman?"
Zhao Zhenan was speechless. He sat back down at his desk. "You can go now, I have other things to do. Don't pay attention to the rumors, they'll be fine in a while."
Xue Wanning wanted to say something, but was scared off by Zhao Zhenan's cold gaze. She picked up her bag and left looking aggrieved.
Zhao Zhenan closed his eyes and thought for a long time before getting up and going upstairs to the chairman's office.
“Dad, I think we shouldn’t continue targeting Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia. They’re not the kind of people who can’t withstand pressure and will give in like before.”
Zhao Yuanfang glanced at his son and said, "Zhen'an, do you think we can make peace with them by backing down now?"
Zhao Zhen'an knew, of course, that the cracks that had already formed were difficult to repair, "but..."
"Zhen'an!"
Zhao Yuanfang stopped his son, "Zhen'an, you're so old, how can you still not see the situation clearly? Your great-grandfather is retiring from that position next year, and the business of our 'Huaxin Group' will inevitably shrink significantly. Don't you think we need to find a new way out? Do you want the group I handed over to you to be a mess?"
Zhao Zhen'an couldn't refute these words. He knew the family situation better than anyone else. "But Dad, you've noticed over time that these two people are really different. The market is so big, we can become their competitors. Why do we have to become their enemies?"
"Womanly compassion!" Zhao Yuanfang glared at his son. "Just look at the development trend of 'Yujia Technology.' What gives you the confidence to compete with them? You're nothing more than a stumbling block on their path to meteoric success! I'm making this clear today: no matter what happens to Zhang Zhongze and Wan Chenggang, my stance will not change. If they can't get on the 'Yujia Technology' ship, I'll make sure they sink!"
Zhao Zhen'an remained silent for a long time. "Father, you already have a plan, don't you?"
Zhao Yuanfang was in a bad mood. He said impatiently, "You'll know when it's your turn. Go back and get on with your business. Also, that Xue girl is too stupid. She can't even handle such a small matter and has gotten herself into trouble. I'll find a way to cancel this marriage. Be prepared."
Zhao Zhenan replied softly, "Dad, I understand," and turned to leave the chairman's office.
...
Jiang Xiaoli was in a great mood; she spent the entire day constantly watching gossip.
That evening, she took several shareholders of "307" to dinner at "Jiang Daxia". The others couldn't help but gloat when they heard about Xue Wanning's ordeal.
Yan Chengcheng was the first to say, "This is absolutely gratifying!"
Hu Jingxin immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Suing her or something really doesn't matter to someone like her. Even if she pursues someone, she can just shift the blame to her assistant. Xiao Li's idea is much better!"
Chang Yue was a little worried, "But what if she sues us for defamation?"
Ren Zhiyi patted her on the shoulder, "We didn't slander her. What's being said is just speculation that her degree was bought. But it's true that she ordered someone to steal our company's design drafts. Does she have the nerve to sue us?"
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Alright, who cares? We're not afraid even if she sues us. Come on, let's toast to our milestone victory!"
The girls all laughed, raised their glasses and clinked them together, "Cheers to victory!"
After dinner, the group of them took Ren Zhiyi to "Heyuan" for another round of drinks.
Jiang Xiaoli first went home and grabbed a box of snacks. When she went downstairs to call Xiao Muyu, she also grabbed a bunch of side dishes.
The two of them went downstairs to Hu Jingxin's house, where beer and drinks were laid out on the coffee table.
Ren Zhiyi was refusing, saying, "I have to drive home tonight, I don't drink."
Hu Jingxin wrapped her arms around her neck, "Given how things are going today, you still want to go home? Chengcheng, close the door!"
Jiang Xiaoli laughed and pulled Xiao Muyu to sit between them. "That's right, Zhiyi, why don't you stay here tonight? If Xinxin can't sleep here, she can come home with me!"
Hu Jingxin hugged Ren Zhiyi tightly, saying, "I can sleep, I can sleep! I want to sleep with baby Zhiyi!"
Chang Yue and Yan Chengcheng both looked at her, "That's what you told us before!"
Xiao Muyu couldn't help but laugh, "How big is Xin Xin's bed? It can sleep so many people."
Jiang Xiaoli analyzed, "None of them are fat, and the weather is so unpredictable right now, it'll be warmer if they squeeze together to sleep!"
Ren Zhiyi gave in, "Okay, okay, I won't go home tonight, but I need to call home first to let them know."
After she informed her family, the girls' night officially began.
At first, everyone chatted about all sorts of topics, but after a couple of beers, the conversation started to veer towards more adult themes.
Xiao Muyu was the only one who drank water. She was shocked by the level of intimacy in their conversation. She shyly covered her ears but secretly left a small gap.
Yan Chengcheng was even more excited than the girls who had boyfriends. "Let me tell you, I recently read a novel, and the male lead was such a pervert..."
The girls, who were "naive and inexperienced," were stunned by her description. They all looked at Jiang Xiaoli for confirmation, "It's possible?"
Jiang Xiaoli was listening intently when she noticed everyone's eyes were on her. She quickly waved her hand in denial, "My Ayu isn't that weird!"
Hu Jingxin is very good at grasping the key points: "It's not that perverted, it's still a little perverted! Let me elaborate!"
Jiang Xiaoli immediately hid behind Xiao Muyu, "Don't come any closer!"
But how could the group, whose gossip was burning fiercely, let her go? Xiao Muyu didn't offer any cover for her either, and soon she was dragged out by the group.
Yan Chengcheng hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go, "Xiao Li, you're the best! Just tell us, Xin Xin and Xiao Yue, those two good-for-nothings, haven't even kissed more than a few times!"
