In the business world, there are decisive and efficient people, and there are also those who are like weather vanes, always shifting between sides. That's why evil people live on for thousands of years. It is because of scum and degenerates like them that they can survive in such a dangerous business world.
After all, in the eyes of people in the top circles of the capital, they were not to be feared. They could be crushed with a single hand. Their obsequious attitude naturally made those people lower their guard.
The reason she was willing to come today is because she discovered that her father's car accident was not an accident, and this Mr. Zhang has inside information that he is willing to tell her.
She knew in her heart that the so-called inside information was likely a ruse, but she still wanted to give it a try.
She wanted to see what tricks this Mr. Zhang would pull this time.
Ji Yao ignored his overtures and remained unmoved. "President Zhang, you should know why I'm here today. I don't want to waste any more words!"
She knew these things were not good for her, and if she lingered here any longer, something unexpected might happen.
Especially since she left in such a hurry, she didn't ask anyone else to accompany her.
It's best to resolve this matter quickly!
"Well, there's no rush, we can talk about it slowly. Sister Ji, are you really not even willing to give me this small favor?"
Ji Yao curled her lips into a sneer, "I don't trust you!"
Let's not talk about giving him face. Even if Mr. Zhang genuinely wanted to give her face, she wouldn't!
She truly despised such behavior.
Mr. Zhang smiled dismissively, then quickly changed the subject, "Do you know why your father rushed out like that to discuss a collaboration?"
Ji Yao's expression remained cold and indifferent. To his words, she simply responded with a faint "Mm."
Even if Mr. Zhang is a person, he is a discerning individual!
Therefore, he couldn't tell Ji Yao's mood from her expression. She seemed very restless, her eyes darting around.
He then asked, "Do you know which company Zhang always wants to discuss cooperation with?"
Ji Yao didn't say anything, she just remained silent.
Mr. Zhang smiled very warmly, "I know that SM Entertainment is your great-grandfather's company. Since this incident couldn't have been his doing, it's just that we need to go to the Si family's company to fight for this project, and it's not just your father's company that's going to do it!"
She knew what he meant by not finishing his sentence.
He deliberately left some hints in a roundabout way; if he still couldn't understand, then he would truly be the biggest fool in the world!
Ji Yao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes obscuring the expression in them. President Zhang tried to find some flaw in her face, but after nearly 20 seconds of scrutiny, he couldn't detect even the slightest unusual emotion!
"Human hearts are unpredictable. Even with parents and siblings, who can guarantee they won't stab you in the back? So, Sister Ji, you shouldn't blindly trust those who may have already turned out to be treacherous!"
Ji Yao's lips curled into a mocking smile, showing him no mercy whatsoever. "President Zhang, do you know? If someone like you lived in ancient times, you would definitely be the kind of treacherous person who likes to stab others in the back!"
His own heart is unpredictable, since he doesn't even allow himself to trust his closest relatives!
What right do I have to believe in someone who has no connection to me?
Mr. Zhang's smile froze, and he took a deep breath, his face turning grim. He then said, "So what if he's a treacherous minister? Doesn't my elder sister believe me?"
Ji Yao gave him a deep look, remaining silent, her eyes filled with unfathomable meaning.
Just when Mr. Zhang thought that Ji Yao had seen through his scheme, she suddenly looked away, seemingly just to check if the expression on her face was a lie.
"In this world, it's not just parents, relatives, or siblings; as long as it involves one's own interests, there's a good chance that someone might turn a knife on their closest person!"
Throughout his half-truthful words, Ji Yao listened quietly without saying a word.
I don't know if they listened this time or not?
Ji Yao suddenly stood up, giving him no chance to react, and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for telling me the truth. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Of course, Mr. Zhang couldn't let her leave like that. He immediately gave the two people closest to her a look, the meaning of which was unspoken.
"Isn't it a bit impolite to leave so hastily?"
Ji Yao's gaze swept over the two men blocking her way, her eyes growing colder and colder. She immediately turned her head and looked coldly at President Zhang sitting on the sofa, "What are you thinking?"
"I just wanted Sister Ji to stay a little longer!" Mr. Zhang smiled meaningfully.
Since she wouldn't respond to his gentle approach, he had no choice but to resort to force...
Ji Yao suppressed her panic and maintained her composure. "President Zhang, I hope you will think twice before you act. I don't care what your intentions were in bringing me here today, but I advise you not to do anything stupid!"
"After all, no one knows what the future holds. Things change every thirty years. If you're sure you want to go too far, Mr. Zhang, then the Ji family will absolutely not back down."
These words might not have been very intimidating if they had come from anyone else, but they came from Ji Yao's mouth.
