Pei Yunge played with the room card in her hand and watched his back with interest.
“This is interesting.”
He did not acknowledge that she was from the Xie family but wanted her to participate in the heir selection.
Pei Yunge called an office in the CI7 headquarters. “Xuan Yuan, help me investigate someone, Xie Zhongqiu.”
Arriving at the suite of the higher-ups, Pei Yunge had just taken a shower when she received a video call.
!!
She turned on the screen and sat in the living room where she could see the river scenery in the center of Continent K. She slowly wiped her hair.
Shang Yan glanced at the scene on Pei Yunge’s side and was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed. “Do you spend money to stay in your own hotel?”
“I didn’t spend the money.”
Pei Yunge’s careless tone made it obvious that a fool had e looking for her.
Shang Yan was speechless.
No wonder.
The Bacton Hotel was a technology concept hotel that Higgins Corporation had proposed last year. From the first day it was operated, it had been crazily pursued by the high society.
Of course, this price was also the price of a top hotel.
Shang Yan asked, “Did you go to Continent K?”
Pei Yunge hummed.
“Then you can settle the matter of Confederation 191 yourself.” The man, who was still working, looked at this corporation boss who usually pushed the blame to others with a gentle gaze.
Pei Yunge was speechless.
Shang Yan continued, “Your exclusive suite is on the top floor. You haven’t paid attention to your hotel, have you?”
The irresponsible Boss Pei was interrogated.
She could feel the disapproval from his words.
“That’s good. I’ll have to trouble you to personally inspect Continent K’s business this year, lest you don’t even know where our corporation’s business has expanded to in a few years.”
Usually, Shang Yan was indeed more concerned about the pany than this hand-off CEO.
Even Nance said that it was no different from not finding this heir. Besides important matters that could not be resolved, the pany relied on him and Shang Yan for so many things.
This was why Pei Yunge did not have the courage to refute in front of Shang Yan.
Pei Yunge was speechless. “…Okay, President Shang.”
After the call ended…
Pei Yunge looked at the documents from Continent K that Shang Yan had thrown over very efficiently.
Was he afraid that she would run away?
In the evening, Pei Yunge had just finished handling these documents when she received a message from Xuan Yuan.
[Xuan Yuan: Max, I’ve sent the information to your mailbox. You have to be careful of Xie Zhongqiu.]
Pei Yunge replied very quickly.
[Max: I got it. Thank you, Old Xuan.]
Pei Yunge returned to the puter desk and opened the information in her mailbox.
These information about Xie Zhongqiu was indeed hard to imagine that this was the old man on the hospital bed today.
Xie Zhongqiu had been managing the Xie family for decades and his hands had been stained with human blood, including his biological relatives.
In order to stabilize his power, Xie Zhongqiu married the heir of the top rich family in Continent K, the Pan family, Pan Yin.
However, when Pan Yin was blinded by love and handed all her assets to Xie Zhongqiu, Xie Zhongqiu’s attitude changed.
Not only was he raising a pregnant lover in the outer residence, Xie Zhongqiu even ignored Pan Yin’s pleading and chased Pan Yin’s biological brother and the other Pan family out of the Pan Corporation. All his assets were transferred to the Xie family, leaving the Pan Corporation an empty shell.
This made Pan Yin realize that this man’s kindness to her before they got married was all an illusion. In the end, she jumped off a building in despair and mitted suicide.
After the matter blew up, Xie Zhongqiu was afraid that this matter would threaten his status as the heir of the Xie family. Therefore, at his late wife’s funeral, he called his father’s second branch, who was also valued by his father—his younger half-brother, who had a good relationship with him.
In the end, the next day, the head of the second branch died from an unknown heart attack.
Immediately after, Xie Zhongqiu deprived the second branch of their assets and inheritance on the grounds that he was taking care of his sister-in-law’s family. He sent the second branch to R Nation and got someone to monitor them.
After reading this, Pei Yunge snorted, her eyes void of any warmth.
It seemed like Xie Zhongqiu was playing a big game of chess in this family petition.
Was he planning to use her as cannon fodder?
