Chapter 83

Originally, Chen Shuyuan and Zhang Yi had planned to go on an outing the next day, but due to this sudden incident, it was postponed. The one who suggested this was Zhang Yi, who already knew about Xiao Sheng's injury. Zhang Yi, who was wholeheartedly thinking about meeting her beloved, naturally would not leave Xiao Sheng behind, especially since she was concerned about his injuries and could not rashly go to the seaside for a trip! Zhang Yi's actions immediately caused a huge stir among the upper echelons of Huaxin. Could it be that last night's dinner between their CEO Chen and the Zhang family was not harmonious, making this wealthy and powerful woman start to reconsider Huaxin?

With the help of some people with ulterior motives, the entire incident once again caused a great upheaval in Huaxin. Moreover, Chen Shuyuan, who was usually punctual, was late this morning, which made people speculate wildly. [Text from .Com]

Early in the morning, Chen Shuyuan insisted that Tong Tong rest at home for a while before going back to school. In the last month of senior high school, most of the time was spent on review and exams arranged by the teachers. Besides, for Tong Tong, whether she went or not made little difference! But for some reason, Tong Tong was unusually eager to go to school today, simply because she wanted to boast about what happened yesterday at school to boost her status as the big sister! Unable to resist Tong Tong's persistence, Chen Shuyuan personally took her cousin to school. During this time, Chen Shuyuan also took Tong Tong to Gangcheng Hospital for another full-body check-up to ensure she was fine before feeling reassured! This delay of nearly an hour and a half made Chen Shuyuan late for work.

The superficial injuries Xiao Sheng sustained last night were nothing serious. After applying the family's traditional medicine, the wound on his arm, which had lost some skin, had already significantly improved. This did not hinder Xiao Sheng from continuing to be a qualified driver and assistant!

Chen Shuyuan's baseless 'interrogation' last night made both of them silent on their way to the company this morning. Chen Shuyuan, who arrived at the company close to ten o'clock, immediately organized the morning meeting that should have been held early in the morning! All the rumors and gossip were dispelled the moment Chen Shuyuan walked into the meeting room with her head held high!

Contrary to the rumors, Chen Shuyuan and Zhang Yi had a very engaging conversation during last night's dinner. Although it was mainly a private exchange, it also touched on some project cooperation issues! Zhonglei Group intended to enter the high-end retail market in Gangcheng, but as a newcomer, they lacked a strong ally. Huaxin, which started in real estate, had its own advantages in mall construction and leasing. The mall under construction in the core area of the northern city was Huaxin's plan to create the largest and most comprehensive high-end retail mall in Gangcheng, but due to a lack of funds, it had not been put on the agenda!

While it wasn't a perfect match, they had verbally agreed on a preliminary cooperation intention. They had planned to discuss further details after the outing, but now that the outing was postponed, the specific cooperation matters were brought to the forefront. Zhang Yi, who had spoken with Chen Shuyuan on the phone this morning, was prepared to conduct further negotiations in the afternoon. If both parties were satisfied, they could sign the contract on the same day!

Once Chen Shuyuan announced this news, the entire meeting room was in an uproar, followed by thunderous applause from the senior executives. Of course, some of the applause was heartfelt, while others were insincere! The one who was most frustrated was Liu Jiming, who sat below Chen Shuyuan!

The assassination attempt against Xiao Sheng last night, in Liu Jiming's view, was flawless. No matter how capable one was, they would be caught off guard in such a situation. However, what Liu Jiming never expected was that Xiao Sheng not only successfully thwarted the assassination but also left those skilled assassins behind, which had already alarmed the police. Although Liu Jiming had arranged this through his subordinates, it still made him extremely uncomfortable! Adding to this, Chen Shuyuan's announcement this morning made Liu Jiming even more passive!

After the shareholders discussed and determined Huaxin's bottom line, they instructed the department heads to prepare fully. Through the executives' relaying of the information, everyone in Huaxin now knew that Huaxin was about to enter into deeper cooperation with Zhonglei Group. The employees, eager to participate, sensed the prelude to Huaxin's second major development.

Fuming, Liu Jiming returned to his office but did not burst into anger as he had before. Instead, he plopped into his boss chair, took out a cigar, trimmed it, and slowly placed it in his mouth. Liu Hanming, who entered the room, looked quite nervous. As soon as he reached the desk, Liu Jiming said directly:

"Make that subordinate disappear permanently." Hearing his father's words, Liu Hanming's eyelids twitched a few times before he nodded vigorously and replied:

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away, but now..."

"Hmph, it's just a small cooperation. Zhonglei Group is just testing the waters. We still have a chance. Go take care of it." Hearing his father's words, Liu Hanming nodded heavily and left the room!

Fiercely smoking the cigar in his mouth, Liu Jiming slowly got up and walked to the window, looking down at the pedestrians below, who looked like ants. Taking out his phone, he dialed a number that had been hidden in a folder. Once the call was connected, Liu Jiming said with a smile:

"Brother Ma, it's Liu Jiming. Let's get together tonight. It's been a while since we've had some fun."

"Sure, sure, at Shengshi Huangchao, let Old Yan treat us. Haha."

...

Since taking over her mother's position, Chen Shuyuan had never felt as spirited as she did now. With a smile that came from the heart, she stopped in front of Xiao Sheng's office and stared at him. To be honest, without this man, Huaxin might still be in dire straits, and she might still be walking a tightrope over a cliff, never knowing when she would fall into the abyss.

Xiao Sheng, who had already stood up, gently waved his bandaged hand in front of Chen Shuyuan and said softly:

"CEO Chen, are you okay?"

Chen Shuyuan snapped back to reality and said, "Nothing. By the way, you'll come with me to the Maple Leaf Hotel tonight to discuss the cooperation with Zhonglei."

"Of course, the title of Huaxin's Market Department Executive Director isn't just for show." Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Chen Shuyuan smiled, a smile that was as refreshing as a night-blooming cereus, but it was fleeting!

Watching Chen Shuyuan's back as she entered her office, Xiao Sheng, standing in place, found it increasingly difficult to understand this beautiful CEO whose period was often irregular, always acting mysteriously.

"I'll find a time to tear off that 'hypocritical' mask of yours." Just as Xiao Sheng was lost in thought, Dai Muxue, who had been notifying the departments about the negotiation, hurried back to the office in her sharp heels. When she and Xiao Sheng made eye contact, this woman who was infatuated with Xiao Sheng was filled with worry and tears. Yesterday, he was full of energy, but today, he was bandaged up?
