Chapter 56 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Cheng Zheng's expression froze for a moment.
A moment later, he immediately remembered another reason why he had dragged Xin Que into helping him.
That's right, he can even get Xin Que to come out and clarify things!
Luo Hua observed that Cheng Zheng went from being frantic to regaining his composure in just a few seconds.
"Never mind," he said, fearing that his special assistant might suffer a cardiovascular disease from his own anger before he even retired, so he turned to comfort him, "Let the public relations department handle it, you should rest."
Cheng Zheng's suit still bore the dusty shoe prints from his fight with Sang Xing in the monitoring room. Hearing Luo Huayi's words, he frowned and said, "President Luo, are you questioning my work ability?"
Luo Huayi: "???"
Cheng Zheng immediately got up and went out to find Xin Que, saying, "We must make sure that two million is spent wisely."
Luo Huayi “…”
Being too dedicated as a special assistant doesn't necessarily seem like a good thing.
He had finally managed to distance himself from Xin Que, and Cheng Zheng immediately rushed off to find Xin Que for him.
Xin Que was lying in the guest room searching for information about the Song family.
Song Wangyuan, the younger brother who is adopted but has a natural talent for music, and Song Wenxian, the older brother who is the biological son of two artistic giants but is otherwise unremarkable...
However, three years ago, their positions were suddenly reversed.
Song Wenxian was probably reborn around this point in time, three years ago.
The information available online is that Song Wangyuan was invited to hold an exhibition in a less economically developed area three years ago.
There was also a short news item around the same time as the exhibition.
Song Wangyuan was involved in a car accident. Due to the poor local medical care and the delay in receiving treatment when he was transferred to another hospital, he is likely to suffer from lifelong disability.
After that, Song Wangyuan disappeared from the media's view.
At this juncture, Song Wenxian suddenly shone brightly and began to demonstrate his talent in business.
His entrepreneurial journey was frighteningly smooth.
Some media outlets even described him as a leader who is always one step ahead of the industry.
Indeed, most of his investments were in emerging industries that were not favored at the time, but each investment brought him amazing returns.
...
Xin Que was analyzing publicly available news information about the important figures Song Wenxian could contact after his rebirth, and his status in the industry, when his phone suddenly switched to the incoming call screen.
Xin Que was taken aback.
"Hello, is this Mr. Chang?" A gentle male voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Xin Que glanced at the phone number; it was the same number as the one on the business card Chen Zheng had given her.
"Mr. Chen?" Xin Que smiled. "Calling so late, is something the matter?"
Just when Xin Que thought Chen Zheng wanted her help with something, or was testing her again, Chen Zheng took the third path.
"It's nothing, I just saw your face trending on social media," Chen Zheng subtly mentioned the CCTV footage that had surfaced on Douyin's trending topics that evening. "Do you need my help to clear your name from this?"
Xin Que twirled the pen in her hand, her mind racing. She quickly shifted from indifference to gratitude and excitement. "You have connections in the media industry? Can you really help me clean this up?"
Chen Zheng glanced at the man in the wheelchair beside him, and seeing him nod slightly, he responded affirmatively, "Of course, after all, you have helped me a lot, so it's only right to return the favor."
Chang Qin's voice sounded somewhat doubtful, "I was just doing a small favor because I didn't like Song Wenxian. The cost and manpower required to remove the trending topic are enormous... It's not worth you going to such lengths, is it?"
“You’re overthinking it,” Chen Zheng gradually dispelled Chang Qin’s suspicions by focusing on the underlying interests. “I’m helping you because of tonight’s trending topic, which is orchestrated by Young Master Song.”
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"
Chang Qin's voice relaxed, "Of course."
“Okay, Mr. Chang, are you free tomorrow?” Chen Zheng asked gently. “How about we have dinner together with the PR person tomorrow? We can also have them take a look at your situation and see how to handle it.”
"After all, your rumored lover is no ordinary person. He is the newly appointed president of Luo's Group. Countless eyes are watching him. It won't be so easy to remove him from the trending topics."
Chang Qin readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the man next to Chen Zheng spoke up, "Chang Qin... sounds like a reckless man with no opinions of his own."
Chen Zheng carefully recalled his interactions with Chang Qin after Chang Qin protected him from Sang Xing's clutches, and thought, "They're pretty much the same."
"Her emotions are easily read, and she acts without considering the consequences..."
"Let's be more cautious," Song Wangyuan casually put the book he was holding back on the small table next to him, and the electric wheelchair slowly brought him to a stop by the window. "Tomorrow, you should take him to eat at the usual place in Meiyuan."
Chen Zheng was taken aback, "But the Plum Garden..."
Isn't this a hotel under Song Wenxian's name?
A moment later, he understood Song Wangyuan's plan.
Whether this person is genuinely reckless or just putting on an act, the goal is to escalate the conflict between him and Song Wenxian to an irreconcilable point.
Only then can they feel at ease using Chang Qin.
Song Wangyuan lowered his eyes to look at the night view of the villa outside the French windows and remained silent.
...
"Are you sure the man sitting with Luo Huayi in the surveillance footage is one of Song Wangyuan's men?" Song Wenxian asked Sang Xing, frowning.
Sang Xing carefully reviewed the surveillance footage on Douyin. "It's absolutely true, I could never be mistaken!"
"When you left the bar and asked me to deal with Chen Zheng, this man appeared shortly after you left. He not only protected Chen Zheng, but also beat me and my bodyguard up."
Sang Xing's joints ached when she talked about the beating she received.
Song Wenxian's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Is it possible to find information about this person?" He suddenly realized that he might have been oversimplifying things.
Song Wangyuan's special assistant Chen Zheng, and Luo Huayi, president of the Luo Group...
If this man has connections with all of them, does that mean... Song Wangyuan and Luo Huayi might be on the same side?
Song Wenxian recalled his previous life, in the Song family he was always overshadowed by Song Wangyuan, and when he was pursuing Xin Xin he was always overshadowed by Luo Huayi...
These two could be considered his two greatest enemies in his previous life.
But that shouldn't be the case. In their previous life, Luo Huayi and Song Wangyuan were not in the same industry and never crossed paths until their deaths.
How could this be...?
Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by my rebirth?
Song Wenxian felt a sense of panic that the situation was about to get out of control.
Song Wangyuan is not a threat. He is crippled and can never rise back to his former heights.
But if we add Luo Huayi...
Song Wenxian's panic became increasingly apparent.
A moment later, his ashen face gradually turned sinister.
What is there to be afraid of? He is a reborn person, and fate is ultimately on his side.
No one can stand in his way.
"Sang Xing, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Song Wenxian glanced at Sang Xing, his voice somber. "Just how much is Luo Huayi's life worth?"
If it weren't for the wrong timing of his rebirth, Luo Huayi would have already taken over most of the Luo family's assets three years ago; otherwise, he would have nipped Luo Huayi, this threat, in the bud.
