Assistant Xu came in from outside and locked the door.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Tao did not accept the gift." Assistant Xu looked troubled.
Xie Yunzhou leaned back in his chair. "Didn't he hint at other options?"
Assistant Xu repeated, "No. His subordinates said it was just a small matter and not worth worrying about."
Xie Yunzhou pondered repeatedly, "He's helping me like this, he must have something to gain. It's either money or something else."
"Should we ask Miss Shi? Mr. Tao helped smooth things over because of Miss Shi. Did Miss Shi do something in return? Or was it on Prince Ryan's orders?" Assistant Xu speculated.
Xie Yunzhou raised his dark eyes, a chill in them. "Have you investigated Tao Boli's background?"
Assistant Xu placed the file folder on his desk. "These are the investigation results."
Mr. Tao maintained a clean and upright character abroad, keeping his social connections simple. He served as a close advisor to Prince Ryan and was specially appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon his return to China.
Xie Yunzhou skimmed through the text, "Isn't there any information about him before he went abroad?"
“That’s too long. Mr. Tao has been studying abroad for over twenty years.” Assistant Xu calculated for a moment, then, seeing Xie Yunzhou’s expression, immediately changed his tune, “I’ll have someone check right away.”
"Go ahead," Xie Yunzhou thought, still intending to meet with Tao Boli.
Assistant Xu was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he added, "Mr. Xie, Ms. Shang wants to see you."
Xie Yunzhou paused, pen in hand. "What's she doing here?"
Assistant Xu was about to explain the purpose of their visit.
Xie Yunzhou interrupted, "I'm very busy right now, I don't have time to see her."
Assistant Xu muttered to himself, "Alright, then I'll ask Ms. Shang to leave."
After Assistant Xu left, Xie Yunzhou lost interest in reading the documents.
A while later.
Xie Yunzhou dialed the internal line: "What does she want? Let her in."
Assistant Xu: "...Ms. Shang has already left."
Xie Yunzhou's tone instantly turned indifferent. "It's nothing. Just compile last week's reports and give them to me."
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
afternoon.
Xie Yunzhou made a private appointment with Tao Boli to play golf.
Tao Boli, with a calm demeanor, said, "Don't worry, we're already investigating them. Don't alert them; there will be results."
"I don't care about Yan Linlang," Xie Yunzhou said calmly. "She's impatient for quick success and wants to amass wealth as soon as possible. One day she'll reap what she sows."
"Aren't you afraid you'll fall before her if you go head-to-head with her like this?" Tao Boli asked curiously. "Even Hua Xuanhe avoided her and chose a more conservative approach. How can you be so reckless?"
Xie Yunzhou calmed down and analyzed, "With Old Master Hua still around, no one else would dare to test him easily."
Yan Linlang has her eyes on the entire Xie Group. If I back down, she will only push me further.
In that case, it would only lead to a lose-lose situation.
"Even if the Xie family goes bankrupt in the end, you won't regret it?" Tao Boli pressed.
Xie Yunzhou nodded, "No regrets."
Tao Boli thought for a moment, "If you go bankrupt and are penniless, aren't you worried that Shi Xi will change her mind?"
Xie Yunzhou's expression finally changed slightly. "She won't."
"Perhaps not at first, but as time goes on, you'll gradually fall into different circles. Will you still have common topics?" Tao Boli said calmly. "Or are you willing to be supported by Shi Xi? Would Shi Xi like you like that?"
The atmosphere instantly became deathly silent.
Tao Boli swung his club without urging Xie Yunzhou to answer.
"I won't get to that point," Xie Yunzhou said firmly. "Besides the Xie Group, I also have Yunhui Financial."
“If I remember correctly, Yunhui Financial is under your brother’s name.” Tao Boli’s casual remark instantly unsettled Xie Yunzhou.
