Chapter 15 Narcissistic Susie Qiao'er, Don't Think I'll Come Back to You

Don't be fooled by Zhao Heng's constantly grinning face; he might seem like a pushover, but in the business world, he is renowned as the top CFO.

From graduating with a finance degree from Imperial Capital University at age 20 to becoming a CFO at his first company, it took him only three years.

During this period, he demonstrated his sensitivity to numbers. Since then, countless companies have hoped to invite him to be their CFO, but Zhao Heng is a bit of a maverick.

He has no interest in companies with healthy finances; instead, he is particularly keen on those mired in financial trouble.

Consequently, over the past decade or so of working as a CFO, he has helped several large enterprises resolve their financial issues.

It is precisely because of this stellar track record that he has earned the title of top CFO in the business world.

"What kind of price did Zheng Jie pay to get you to take over my position?"

When Wang Anmin spoke, his tone was full of disbelief.

After all, Zhao Heng was actually replacing him.

How is this possible...

Was he actually willing to give Zheng Jie face?

This... is too strange.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled.

"Chairman Jie is my boss. When the boss needs me, I naturally come. Alright, hurry up and hand over the work."

Wang Anmin had originally thought that Zheng Jie couldn't possibly find anyone capable of replacing him, but Zhao Heng's appearance was like a slap in the face.

Don't think that there are no good CFOs other than yourself.

How naive.

Meanwhile, the other departments were also conducting handovers.

Father Zheng had made arrangements in advance to deliberately leave a few traps during the handover, hoping to overwhelm Zheng Jie.

However, those who could serve as Zheng Jie's trusted inner circle were no simple characters.

You might think these traps were deep, but to these old veterans, they were nothing more than child's play.

Consequently, these traps were all discovered during the handover.

Work that would normally have been completed in the morning dragged on until four in the afternoon.

When Wang Anmin led these people out of Zheng Group, the expressions on their faces were dark and uncertain.

"What is the background of these people? The traps I worked so hard to set were actually seen through by them. This is outrageous."

One person said, his tone full of disbelief. Hearing this, the others spoke up one after another.

"Same here."

"They are extraordinary; they definitely have some real skills."

"Zheng Jie has always been at Zheng Group; where did he find these people?"

"I feel... Zheng Jie is extraordinary. It seems he didn't just prepare yesterday; he has been preparing for a long time."

"I think so too."

"..."

Hearing this, Wang Anmin took a deep breath.

At this moment, he felt a sense of foreboding.

He felt that the current situation was not developing according to the old chairman's expectations.

Instead, he vaguely sensed that Zheng Jie had already taken the initiative.

Just then, Wang Anmin's phone rang.

It was a call from Father Zheng.

He answered.

"Old Chairman."

Meanwhile, at home, Father Zheng held the phone.

"How is it? Is the handover finished?"

"Chairman, it is finished."

As he spoke, Wang Anmin glanced at the people around him.

"Old Chairman, I think something is wrong. The people Zheng Jie found seem extraordinary. He even brought Zhao Heng in to be the CFO. I feel..."

Upon hearing the name Zhao Heng, Father Zheng was slightly taken aback.

But immediately after, he smiled.

"What of it?"

"Even if he has arranged for a successor, he won't be able to handle Su Group terminating their project with him."

"Alright, come to the Villa."

Hearing this, Wang Anmin frowned.

He hadn't expected Father Zheng to be so confident at a time like this.

After a moment of thought, he nodded.

"Understood, Chairman. We'll be there right away."

At this moment, in the top-floor chairman's office, Zheng Jie looked down at Wang Anmin.

"Boss, Wang Anmin's methods for setting traps were far too crude. I originally thought he had some level of skill, but now it seems he's nothing special."

Zhao Heng's tone was full of disdain for Wang Anmin. Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked at Zhao Heng.

"That goes without saying. You are the top CFO; no matter how exquisite the trap, in your eyes, it's nothing."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled.

Just then, Zheng Jie turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei.

"President Zhang Wei, how is the investigation going?"

Zhang Wei took several documents out of his folder.

"Chairman, I have investigated. During his tenure as CFO of Zheng Group, Wang Anmin abused his power for personal gain and embezzled funds through shell companies opened by his relatives, involving a total of 190 million yuan."

"Here is the detailed evidence."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie picked up the document, read it in detail, and then nodded.

"What about the others?"

"The corresponding illegal and criminal activities of the others have also been investigated. However, we focused our investigation on Wang Anmin; the others were only briefly checked, so I cannot guarantee that this is all the evidence of their crimes. But please rest assured, for what we have found, the chain of evidence is solid."

Zhang Wei's ability was naturally beyond reproach; otherwise, Zheng Jie wouldn't have appointed him as President.

After briefly reviewing the files, Zheng Jie nodded.

"This is enough."

"As for the rest that hasn't been uncovered, let the police handle it. After all, when it comes to investigations, they are the professionals."

These people want to resign? That's fine.

But if they think they can just walk away cleanly, Zheng Jie won't allow it.

After all, these people were all Father Zheng's trusted aides. Now that there was an opportunity to send them to Prison, Zheng Jie wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled.

"Understood."

"Alright, you've worked hard today. Go get some rest."

"Yes."

At this point, Zhang Wei and Zhao Heng left the chairman's office.

After watching them leave, Zheng Jie took out his phone and made a call.

"It's me."

"Yes."

"Make the arrests."

"Mm, I'll send you the chain of evidence in a moment."

With just a few simple words, the fate of Wang Anmin and his cohorts was sealed.

Perhaps because Zheng Jie had always maintained the persona of a pushover at Zheng Group over the past few years, these people actually thought he was a good guy.

In reality, Zheng Jie was ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep his subordinates in check.

Meanwhile, inside Su Group, Su Qiaoer received a call from Zheng Tian.

"Alright, I understand. I will head over now to terminate the partnership with Zheng Group."

"Good."

Hanging up the phone, Su Qiaoer sighed.

Just a few days ago, they had been husband and wife, but now they were essentially locked in a life-or-death struggle. Thinking about it, Su Qiaoer felt a pang of emotion.

Yet, between Zheng Jie and Zheng Tian, Su Qiaoer would choose Zheng Tian without hesitation.

After all, he was the person she had loved since childhood; he was her white moonlight. As for Zheng Jie... he was merely a thief who had stolen what rightfully belonged to Zheng Tian.

Especially when Su Qiaoer recalled the words Zheng Jie had said to her that day, she felt a flare of anger.

She didn't understand what right Zheng Jie had to talk to her like that... So, having the opportunity now to go over and strike a blow at Zheng Jie, Su Qiaoer was more than willing.

Sitting in the car on her way to Zheng Group, Su Qiaoer had already imagined the expression on Zheng Jie's face when she announced the termination of their partnership and that he wouldn't receive a single cent in compensation.

It would surely be amusing. The thought of seeing that expression gave Su Qiaoer a sense of satisfaction.

About half an hour later, Su Qiaoer arrived at Zheng Group.

At that moment, Zheng Jie was waiting for her in the chairman's office.

"Chairman Su, shouldn't you be at home comforting Zheng Tian? Why have you come here? Don't tell me you want to relive old dreams? Could it be that Zheng Tian cannot satisfy you?"

Zheng Jie's tone was dripping with sarcasm. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's expression darkened.

"Zheng Jie, watch your tongue."

"I am your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.

"Then, sister-in-law, is it because my brother..."

"Is too much of a loser?"

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions as much as possible.

After a long silence, she looked at Zheng Jie.

"Zheng Jie, I am here to terminate our partnership."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie remained calm. He had known about this long ago, so why would he be shocked?

"Terminate the contract?"

"But Chairman Su, if you terminate the contract now, you will need to pay compensation."

"Let me see... the total compensation should be 170 billion, right? What's this? Are you willing to throw away 170 billion just for Zheng Tian?"

Zheng Jie looked at Su Qiaoer and said with a smile.

Although Su Group was a large multinational company, they only had about 200 billion in their accounts; in reality, that was quite substantial. If they had to pay out 170 billion now, it would be a devastating blow to Su Group.

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer snorted coldly.

"With the collective replacement of your senior management, according to the terms of the contract, this is your own internal issue, leading us to believe that you are no longer capable of maintaining our partnership. Therefore, we are terminating the contract in accordance with its terms."

Zheng Jie smiled upon hearing this.

"Is that so? But whether it is 'normal' or not is not for you to decide; it's... for the law to decide. I will instruct our Legal Department to formally file a lawsuit against you."

Su Qiaoer's face was full of disdain.

In her view, Zheng Jie would be ousted from his position as chairman in about a week at most, long before the court case even began.

"Then you should worry about holding onto your chairman position until then."

"Don't think that just because you have a little bit of cunning, you can get everything you want."

"And don't think that by pulling those disgusting little stunts, you will make me leave Zheng Tian and return to your side. Let me tell you, Zheng Jie, you disgust me."

"I will never return to your side, because my husband will never be a petty man."

Su Qiaoer looked at Zheng Jie, her tone resolute. Hearing this, Zheng Jie thought for a moment and said.

"Tell me... is there a possibility that I never wanted you to return to my side?"

Saying this, Zheng Jie stood up from his chair, walked over to Su Qiaoer, and added,

"You overestimate yourself."

"Su Qiaoer."

Zheng Jie's tone was full of disdain. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's expression darkened.

"We shall see."

With that, Su Qiaoer stood up and turned to leave.

Watching her leave, Zheng Jie snorted.

What Su Qiaoer didn't know was that although the lawsuit hadn't even started, they had already lost.

Since everyone from the top down was Zheng Jie's person, how could they possibly fight him?

Thinking of this, the corners of Zheng Jie's mouth curled up slightly.

"Well, money and a company delivered for free—it would be a waste not to take them."
