214: Chapter 213: Breaking Through 214: Chapter 213: Breaking Through “He must have seen it, right?!
He definitely didn’t see!
Wasn’t he looking at the scenery?
That was just an act!
He definitely saw it!
What will he think?
Will he pounce on ?
Should I resist?
Should I?” Zishan’s train of thought forked off once again.
After a while, Huang Zishan finally got ready and changed into a casual pair of pants, returning to her usual self, although she was still sowhat unnatural in front of Liu Hun.
“Alright, alright, everything’s sorted now, what should we do next?” Huang Zishan asked Liu Hun with a forced smile.
“Let’s go!
Find soone!” Liu Hun said decisively, and then pulled Huang Zishan out of her apartnt.
At Emperor’s Villa, a bouncing, newspaper-delivering boy ca to a villa’s front door and rang the doorbell.
After several rings, an aged servant opened the door, saw it was a little runt, and waved him away impatiently, “Didn’t you deliver one this morning?
Why are you back?”
“Give this to Wang Xingguo, and if you hand it to the wrong person, you’ll have nothing to eat!
Goodbye!” The boy told the servant and quickly spun around and hopped away.
The servant, looking at the newspaper-wrapped item, mulled over it and decided to bring it to his master.
Entering the house, he hurried to the study and said, “Master, this was just brought by a newspaper boy outside.”
“A newspaper boy?” Wang Xingguo asked curiously, taking it and starting to open it while asking, “What else did he say?”
“He said… make sure I personally hand it over to you.” The servant said and craned his neck, worried that the newspaper boy might have included sothing malicious in the package, which could cost him his job!
Wang Xingguo lazily unfolded the newspaper and his heart skipped a beat!
He was completely stunned!
It took him a while to recover, hastily covered the newspaper, and asked the servant, “Where’s that boy?”
“He’s already gone!
Master…
are you alright?” The servant asked with real concern, sensing sothing was definitely wrong from Wang Xingguo’s reaction.
“I’m fine!
I’m fine!
You may go now!” Wang Xingguo waved his hand impatiently, knowing even if they managed to find the boy, it wouldn’t be of any use.
Just as the servant was about to leave, Wang Xingguo called out, “Wait!
You didn’t look inside, did you?”
The servant quickly gestured, “No, no, absolutely not!”
“Good!
This matter, nobody must speak of it, including my wife!
You may go now!” Wang Xingguo waved off the servant and slowly began to open the newspaper.
The contents inside made him both angry and hateful!
Although the stuff looked like re n and won’s trivial matters, once leaked to the dia, people could twist the story, potentially ruining the group’s reputation and kicking him off the board.
Wang Xingguo reviewed all the items and found a note at the bottom: “The board must remain neutral, or else you know the consequences.”
“Damn it!” Wang Xingguo clenched the note tightly, frustrated yet very clear on what he needed to do.
Within three days, using newspapers, the mailbox, and emails, Liu Hun and Huang Zishan discreetly made full use of the data they had acquired from Wang Dawei; every clip reached its intended destination.
“Last stop!” Liu Hun parked the car in front of a villa and said to Huang Zishan sitting in the passenger seat.
Huang Zishan looked at the villa and asked Liu Hun, “Haven’t we already used up all our material?
Who are we here to see?”
Liu Hun shook the envelope in his hand and said, “Qian Miao, Dr.
Qian!
Let’s go!”
They were smoothly invited inside by Qian Miao who, although part of the research center and not a core mber of managent, was sowhat aware of the affairs of the group, including the identities of Huang Zishan and Liu Hun.
“Please have a seat!” Qian Miao invited Liu Hun and Huang Zishan into his ho.
His attitude was naturally much more polite since one was the chairman’s close assistant, and the other, a man controlling five percent of the group’s shares.
Qian Miao, a scholarly-looking figure with thick glasses, asked them with a smile, “What brings you two here today?”
“Dr.
Qian, we have sothing to show you.
Take a look first,” Liu Hun said and then signaled Huang Zishan to hand him her phone.
Qian Miao took Huang Zishan’s phone with a puzzled look.
After a focused glance, his face drastically changed, a mix of undisguised panic and shock.
Holding the phone, he asked Liu Hun, “What…
what is this?”
“You’ve worked with David Wang for many years; you should be able to recognize his notes, right?” Liu Hun did not answer Qian Miao’s question but instead countered with one of his own.
Qian Miao scrutinized it again, thoroughly convinced that the notes in the photo were definitely David Wang’s!
“Where…
where did you get this?
Is this real?” Qian Miao asked in terror.
He had only t Huang Zishan before and heard about Liu Hun; he was completely unaware of their intentions or why they would show him this.
Liu Hun gave Qian Miao a deep smile and said earnestly, “The evidence is right in front of you.
If you still don’t believe it, you’re only fooling yourself.
If you choose to deceive yourself, further discussion won’t be of any use.”
Trembling, Qian Miao brought his phone closer to inspect it more carefully, and once confird it was unquestionably David Wang’s notes, he again looked at the two people before him.
Realizing that Liu Hun was already a shareholder and Huang Zishan was a favored figure in front of the chairman, it was clear that they had powerful backing, likely even the chairman.
Understanding this, Qian Miao nodded at Liu Hun and said, “I believe you.
What do you want to do?
It’s not rely to show these things, is it?”
“Of course not!” Liu Hun replied, and placed a pre-prepared docunt in front of Qian Miao, “Get this into the research center.”
“What is this?” Qian Miao picked up the docunt, read it carefully, and his hands shook like soone with advanced Parkinson’s, dropping the docunt, terror-stricken.
He stared at Liu Hun and exclaid, “This…
this is pure fantasy!
How is this possible!”
“Look at !” Liu Hun commanded, pointing at himself, then locked eyes with Qian Miao, “!
Liu Hun!
These two words an everything is possible!”
This man!
Thinking this could convince anyone?
Ridiculous… But so assertively masculine… Huang Zishan sneaked a peek at Liu Hun, thinking to herself secretly.
Seeing Qian Miao still hesitant, Liu Hun continued, “Dr.
Qian, as long as you follow the instructions, not only will David Wang not be able to fra you, but he’ll also be the one to get sacked.
And you?
You’ll take his place as the sole head of Hu Group’s core technology R&D center.
Surely you wouldn’t refuse this position, right?”
Nearly salivating at the thought!
Qian Miao was thrilled; the speaker was a major shareholder, possibly backed by the chairman himself!
This ship was steady!
Definitely worth boarding!
Qian Miao’s eyes sparkled with excitent as he told Liu Hun, “Okay!
I agree to do exactly as you asked!
But…” his voice trailed off, still harboring so doubts, and he continued to pursue, “How can I trust you?
Moreover, the stuff in this docunt is impossible right now!”
“You have to trust !
You must trust !
Otherwise, David Wang will kick you out of Hu Group, and you’ll have no other option!” Liu Hun declared, his gaze piercing, his presence regal like a king looking down on his subject, leaving no room for doubt!
This man… His presence was so daunting and oppressive!
Qian Miao was suddenly shaken, all his prior doubts and questions shattered completely!
“Thump, thump, thump!” Liu Hun rapped his knuckles on the table, then rose serenely, his face a picture of amiability.
“You needn’t worry about any issues!
Just do the right thing, and I look forward to your performance at the board eting!” After saying that, he buttoned up his suit and leisurely left Qian Miao’s house.
Qian Miao watched Liu Hun’s departing figure, a feeling of admiration involuntarily rising within him.
He couldn’t help thinking, how could this man be even more imposing than the old chairman!
Following this man is definitely a no-brainer!
Damn it!
Let’s do it!
Resolved, Qian Miao imdiately took the docunt to the research center.
Ever since Xie Huan lost shares at the wine tasting and beca known as the spray maniac again, he’d been avoiding his aunt Xie Dan, until he was finally cornered by n she sent to a nightclub, forcing him to apologize in person.
Two burly n in suits escorted Xie Huan to the entrance of Xie Dan’s villa.
Here he was, an executive director of a world-class financial conglorate, having to bow down to an old lady after being humiliated by a lousy farr!
Damn it!
I won’t accept this!
Xie Huan seethed inwardly, furiously pressing the doorbell.
“Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!” The doorbell rang repeatedly, but no one ca to open the door.
His mood already foul, Xie Huan was about to smash the door when it suddenly opened.
“Xie Huan, you’re here?
Co in!” A man opened the door and said.
Xie Huan took a careful look; the man opening the door was Lin Hongsheng, a mber of the board of directors, and disdain imdiately flooded his mind.
So this is what you get for climbing into an old lady’s bed!
Xie Huan ignored Lin Hongsheng, pushed the door open and walked in.
He asked Lin Hongsheng, “Where’s my aunt?”
“Dan… Director Xie just went into the study.
She’s waiting there for you.
I have tasks to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now,” Lin Hongsheng replied with a forced smile, adjusting his clothes and then exiting the villa.
“Ptui!
What crap!
That old woman will suck you dry eventually!” Xie Huan muttered disdainfully, despising Lin Hongsheng for using his relationship with Xie Dan to always act superior.
