Chapter 333 Afternoon Tea Party
Zhou Zongzhen is a lonely person, but also a busy person.
He didn't have the extra time to develop feelings with Xie Shiyuan unless he was willing to keep Xie Shiyuan by his side.
However, with An Chao's death, Zhou Zongzhen would no longer test the girl, nor would he keep her around and expose her to danger.
As the cabinet minister's sex scandal grew, Zhou Group's stock price has returned to normal.
When Xie Tingke had some free time, he did not forget to ask the man to return Xie Shiyuan.
The tall buildings sparkled in the sun, standing like giants in the city's skyline, like huge stone tablets. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor and looking into the distance, one could see that the Zhou Group stood out among the crowd of buildings, towering into the clouds and proudly standing in the center of the city.
Zhou Zongzhen took in the scenery outside the window.
A young man was holding documents and reporting something quietly beside the man.
Xie Tingke waited patiently until the man left, then reached out and picked up the teacup on the table. "The familiar-looking subordinate next to you died, and a newcomer came up. It's really tactless. I don't drink Longjing tea."
"I didn't touch your woman." Zhou Zongzheng said.
Xie Tingke paused as he fumbled with the teacup. "That was because I helped you get it done. You were afraid and didn't dare to touch her."
"Even your longest-serving subordinate has betrayed you. You're handing the group's stock market over to me. Are you afraid that I'll sell you out?"
"Brother, I understand you. You were actually worried that I would sell you out, so you captured Shi Yuan and felt at ease."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zongzheng narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expression exactly like a jaguar narrowing its eyes to catch prey.
He and Xie Tingke were of similar height and build. They both wore suits of the same color, with broad shoulders and narrow waists. The most eye-catching thing was their long legs, and the straight pants perfectly outlined their legs, especially when they were walking, the muscle lines were clearly visible.
Zhou Zongzhen liked to suppress his emotions, so his whole body, including his facial features, were tense. His expression was sharper than Xie Tingke's. However, his pair of evil eyes diluted the cold and inhuman feeling.
"Do you like her that much?"
"I owe her too much," said Xie Tingke.
"Just give more money as compensation." Zhou Zongzheng said coldly.
"Some things can't be compensated by money." Xie Tingke put down the teacup and squinted his eyes coldly.
Zhou Zongzheng suddenly laughed.
"If I really feel like I owe her something, why not help her cure Bai Jiashu's condition?"
"......"
Xie Tingke's face darkened.
Zhou Zongzheng was very interested, his evil black eyes revealed something unfathomable and profound, "He keeps saying that he likes her and wants to compensate her, but he is unwilling to help his love rival. He would rather let Xie Shiyuan watch Bai Jiashu die."
"Second brother, you and I are both selfish guys, so stop pretending to be affectionate."
"In fact, there is a cure for Bai Jiashu's disease... We can try a blood transfusion. Are you willing? I've read your information. You and he are a good match."
"......"
Xie Tingke looked at him unkindly, "Do you have to be so boring? The price of the blood transfusion is that Bai Jiashu survives and I die. Only the stupidest fool in the world would sacrifice himself to save his love rival."
He doesn't have such good intentions.
The best he could do with his kindness was to attend Bai Jiashu's funeral.
"I will send someone to pick up Shi Yuan tonight."
Zhou Zongzheng didn't refuse when he heard this, but the smile on his face deepened.
After Xie Tingke left, the young man came in again to report the situation. This time, the information he collected was related to Bai Jiashu. "Master, the stock of Bai Group has been falling recently and has fallen below 8.30%. We took the opportunity to reap some benefits."
"The market is taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the Bai family. Second Madam Bai spread the news that Bai Jiashu is seriously ill. In order to prevent the board of directors from usurping power, Mr. Bai gave up Bai Jiashu and supported Bai Zhuoran to take the position."
"Those executives who followed Bai Jiashu and were willing to follow Bai Zhuoran were rewarded by Mr. Bai, and those who were unwilling to surrender to Bai Zhuoran were fired."
"There is also the distribution of Bai Jiashu's inheritance... Mrs. Bai planned to take advantage of Bai Jiashu's sudden coma to force the secretary to take the power of attorney and change the heir to Bai Zhuoran. Mr. Bai acquiesced to this."
I have never seen a person more miserable than Bai Jiashu. He devoted his whole life to the Bai family, but in the end, all his inheritance was drained out.
The outside world reasonably suspects that Bai Jiashu's worsening condition is related to the internal strife within the Bai family.
Some time ago, someone met Bai Jiashu in the suburbs. How could he suddenly fall into a coma?
The Bai family is already busy preparing for the funeral.
Zhou Zongzheng listened indifferently for a long while before saying, "He's still a poor man."
The man didn't dare to answer.
Zhou Zongzheng suddenly lowered his voice and gave a few instructions.
A trace of shock flashed across the man's eyes, and he bowed quickly, "I understand, Patriarch."
On this side, the Bai family on the other side of the ocean.
If it weren't for the influence of rumors from the outside world, the Bai family would probably be decorating the house with lights and decorations at this moment. Second Mrs. Bai would have wanted to hold a grand banquet to announce to the world that Bai Zhuoran would soon inherit the Bai family.
Her son became the definite heir!
No one can change it!
So what if he is an illegitimate child? Who says that he cannot inherit property?
"It's Bai Jiashu's fault that he has a bad fate. He shouldn't have survived since his mother's womb. It's already a blessing for him to live this long." Mrs. Bai sat on the sofa, stroking the gorgeous jewelry around her neck.
Not far away, several female models lined up, wearing the latest fashions and showing them to her.
A group of people were standing by, waiting on the sidelines, and a few noble ladies in the circle were sitting on the sofa, all with a look of solidarity, "Congratulations to the Second Madam for finally getting what she deserves."
These ladies all came to power through mistresses. They got together to hold an afternoon tea party and did not hide anything.
"It's a pity. Madam Xie was only one step away from being able to be like Second Madam, who would have thought that Xie Tingke would appear in the middle of the process! Second Madam, Zhuoran has not officially inherited the group yet. You have to be on guard and don't take it lightly."
Speaking of Xie Tingke, Mrs. Bai thought of Xie Shiyuan and sneered, "Xie Shiyuan said that she had to marry Jiashu, and she was obsessed with marrying him. Now, her lover is dying, and she doesn't even come back to visit him."
"She is ruthless and knows who can be chosen and who cannot be chosen."
"How can Bai Jiashu be compared with Xie Tingke? Mr. Xie is very lucky. He is Mr. Zhou's younger brother. Mr. Zhou is a well-known and influential person." Emphasize the three words "younger brother" and don't use a tone that is too flattering.
