Chapter 16: Utter Humiliation – Arresting Someone in Front of Zheng's Father
Inside the Zheng Family Villa, Wang Anmin was reporting today's events to Father Zheng.
"Chairman Zheng, I feel that the current situation is a bit off. The fact that Zheng Jie was able to bring the Zhao Heng over makes me think the other side must have been prepared long ago."
Wang Anmin voiced his inner concerns. Hearing this, Father Zheng waved his hand with a smile.
"Rest assured, don't worry. Zheng Jie just has good luck and is willing to spend money. That Zhao Heng, he values money very highly. Even if Zheng Jie throws money at him, no matter how aloof the Zhao Heng is, he will be tempted."
Father Zheng did not take Zheng Jie seriously. In his view, his plan was quite perfect, and there was absolutely no possibility of Zheng Jie winning. Even if those pre-dug pits were discovered, it would only be slightly troublesome and wouldn't have much impact.
After all, he knew how important those cooperative projects between the Zheng Group and the Su Group were. This was the focus of the Zheng Group's development for the next five years, and the Zheng Group had even invested a considerable amount of capital. If these projects stagnated, the shareholders of the Zheng Group would not just sit by and watch.
Moreover, he had a good relationship with the leaders above. In this situation, he only needed to ask these leaders to pressure the group's shareholders, and everything would be fine.
"That's right, uncles. Zheng Jie just has a bit of luck and is willing to spend money. It's not a big problem. During this period, you uncles can have a good rest at home. When the group returns to Dad's hands in a while, I will have to invite you all back to the company then."
Zheng Tian followed up on Father Zheng's words. Hearing this, several people looked at each other. Since this pair of father and son were so confident, they would believe them. They must have made full preparations.
"In that case, if you, Chairman Zheng, have any instructions, please contact us as soon as possible. We old men are still very willing to give our all for you."
"Hmm, okay... Then Tian, help..."
Just as Father Zheng was about to ask Zheng Tian to see these people out, there was a sudden rapid knocking at the door of the Villa. Hearing this knock, Father Zheng frowned. It was so late; who could it be? After thinking for a moment, he looked at the auntie in the house. The auntie understood and went to the door to open it.
The moment the auntie opened the door, dozens of police officers rushed in. Seeing these dozens of police officers, Father Zheng frowned tightly.
"What are you doing here?"
Father Zheng's tone was cold.
Having officials come to the door was a first.
The team leader listened to these words, his face calm.
"Chairman Zheng, we received a report that during Wang Anmin's tenure as CFO of the Zheng Group, he embezzled funds and transferred company assets through relatives, so we have specifically brought him back for investigation."
"This is the arrest warrant. Please take a look."
Wang Anmin was sitting on the sofa. Hearing this, his face was full of shock.
Although the other party didn't say who the reporter was, he wasn't a fool; it must have been Zheng Jie.
"Retaliation so fast?"
Wang Anmin couldn't believe it in his heart.
"Zheng Jie reported it?"
"This... sorry, according to confidentiality, we cannot tell anyone who the reporter is."
After saying this, the team leader waved his hand, and several officers came to Wang Anmin's side.
"Please come with us."
Wang Anmin looked at Father Zheng.
"Go with them. Rest assured, Zheng Jie's smugness won't last long."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Wang Anmin felt relieved in his heart, so he followed the officers and left.
"Why, the person has already been taken away, are you not leaving yet?"
"There are others. Other people are also involved in illegal and criminal activities, and these people also need to leave with us."
Hearing this, Father Zheng's face was ugly.
He didn't expect Zheng Jie to really not let anyone go.
Wiping them all out in one go.
But Father Zheng didn't actually take this matter to heart. The reason Zheng Jie was so smooth now was because he was still the Chairman of the Zheng Group. In reality, once he took back the position of Chairman, none of this would be a problem.
"Fine, take them all away."
Father Zheng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Soon, in the Villa, except for the Zheng family, everyone else had been taken away. Zheng Tian looked at the empty Villa and looked at Father Zheng.
"Dad, Zheng Jie is too much."
"This is a lethal blow."
"I don't even know why he would do this. He doesn't want any dignity at all."
Dignity?
Zheng Tian really had the nerve to say such things.
When the Zheng family removed Zheng Jie from his position as President, why didn't they think about dignity?
When the Zheng family made Zheng Jie get married and let Su Qiaoer marry Zheng Tian, why didn't they think about dignity?
Now that Zheng Jie's revenge had come, they said Zheng Jie didn't want dignity. It was simply too ridiculous.
"A bumpkin from the countryside, how would he care about dignity?"
"Tian, don't worry. Zheng Jie won't be rampant for too long. Now that no company can take over these cooperations, when the time comes, if Zheng Jie wants money, it will be absolutely impossible."
Father Zheng's tone was calm.
These projects together, without accident, would require an investment of nearly 400 billion. And now, the total funds of the Zheng Group added up to 210 billion. Even if all of it was thrown in, it wouldn't be enough. Not to mention that the Zheng Group had other projects. In fact, for this project, the Zheng Group would at most throw in about 140 billion, which was still a long way from 400 billion. Plus, Father Zheng had already greeted several Banks with good relationships in advance, and these Banks would not give Zheng Jie any loans.
Therefore, these projects could completely drag Zheng Jie down. And when the time came, the leaders above and the shareholders wouldn't be willing, and he could take this opportunity to completely take back the Chairman position and become the savior of the company. Although doing so might cause the company to lose tens of billions, in Father Zheng's view, as long as he could take back the company and make Zheng Jie get out completely, then no matter how much money it cost, it was worth it.
"I know, Dad. I believe you definitely can."
Zheng Tian nodded. At this time, on the other side, Zheng Jie was communicating with several internet companies about these projects.
"Chairman, currently, for most of the projects, we can replace the Su Group and cooperate with the Zheng Group for development. But the new energy vehicle... there's no way. After all, we are all internet companies, and we really have no way in terms of car manufacturing."
The few people had no choice. Their internet companies had money and could take over most of the projects, but this new energy vehicle... there really was no way.
Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.
"Don't worry, I have already arranged the new energy vehicle."
"I will cooperate with Huaxia Heavy Industry."
Zheng Jie's tone was calm.
"Huaxia Heavy Industry? They do have their own car brand, but this car brand seems to be facing delisting."
Someone frowned, feeling that cooperating with Huaxia Heavy Industry seemed a bit unreliable.
"Yes, but they have complete factories, mature workers, and most importantly, they have money, enough money. And what we have is new energy technology. The battery company told me that the Solid-state Battery has been developed. In the summer, the range can reach 1300 kilometers. It will be slightly lower in winter, but it still has 1000 kilometers. So our cooperation with Huaxia Heavy Industry is a combination of strengths."
Before Zheng Jie took action, he would make all preparations. Perhaps most of these preparations wouldn't be used, but if they were needed, it would be much, much easier.
"That would be fine. Maybe Zheng Tian and the others are still dreaming that you will leave the Chairman position of the company."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
"In short, you will have to work hard during this time."
"Without accidents, they should contact you during this time and ask you to vote for him. Pay attention to cooperating with them, and show your hand only after everything settles down."
"Understood."
Everyone said immediately upon hearing this.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, everyone can rest."
After ending this video conference, Zheng Jie sat up from his seat and rubbed his slightly sore forehead. He came to the window of the Chairman's office, looking at the bright city lights outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just then, there was a knock on the Chairman's door.
"Come in."
Xia Wanqing entered from outside with a lunch box.
"Why are you here?"
"Seeing that you haven't come back, I was worried that you hadn't eaten, so I specifically came to bring you food."
When Xia Wanqing came today, she was wearing a cheongsam, her curves accentuated, displaying her good figure to the fullest. Zheng Jie looked at her clothes and smiled.
"Come and eat quickly."
"It's still hot."
At this time, Xia Wanqing came behind Zheng Jie, reached out, and rubbed Zheng Jie's forehead.
"Are you very tired?"
Xia Wanqing's tone was full of tenderness. Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.
"It's okay."
After saying this, Zheng Jie patted Xia Wanqing's hand.
Xia Wanqing understood, handed her hand to Zheng Jie, and let Zheng Jie hold her hand.
"If you don't eat, it will really get cold."
Xia Wanqing said with a smile.
"But compared to eating, I would rather eat something else."
At this time, Zheng Jie raised his head and looked at Xia Wanqing. Seeing this look from Zheng Jie, Xia Wanqing's face turned red, because she knew what Zheng Jie meant by saying this.
"Then..."
"Humph, listening to my husband."
Xia Wanqing's eyes were full of charm.
The floor-to-ceiling window was for looking at the scenery, but sometimes the floor-to-ceiling window also had some...
Other uses.
An hour later, Zheng Jie didn't eat, because the food had indeed gone cold. Therefore, there was no choice; Zheng Jie had to go back and eat with Xia Wanqing.
He looked through the window at the street outside.
Xia Wanqing looked at Zheng Jie, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment. Finally, Xia Wanqing didn't say a word.
Actually, Xia Wanqing had some thoughts.
Especially after Zheng Jie's divorce, although she knew she wouldn't become Zheng Jie's wife, because without accident, Zheng Jie's wife would definitely be someone of equal status, and she... was not worthy.
But although there was no chance of becoming his wife, Xia Wanqing wanted to have a child for Zheng Jie.
With a child...
She would have a guarantee in the future.
Isn't that right?
Zheng Jie looked at Xia Wanqing and said.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Jie knew Xia Wanqing had something to say. After all, he understood her. Her reaction just now meant she wanted to say something. Hearing this, Xia Wanqing took a deep breath.
"I... want to... have a child for you."
Finally, Xia Wanqing said what she wanted to say. Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.
"Are you sure?"
"After having a child, you will never be able to leave me again."
Now Xia Wanqing was Zheng Jie's mistress, but she also had a very good career. Perhaps in a few years, she would feel she had enough money and leave, taking this money and career to start a new life. But with a child, Xia Wanqing would be tied to Zheng Jie for life.
"I never thought about leaving you."
"Give me a child... okay?"
"I promise, we won't bring you trouble..."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie leaned back in his chair. He looked through the window at the street outside, his brain rapidly considering this matter.
Among these two lovers, Zheng Jie could clearly feel the difference between them.
Huang Shihan only hoped to gain benefits through Zheng Jie, such as resources in the entertainment industry.
But Xia Wanqing... seemed to have true feelings for him.
After a long time, Zheng Jie nodded.
"Okay."
Originally, Xia Wanqing was a bit fearful, afraid that this idea of hers would be rejected, or even make Zheng Jie leave her. But when she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You agreed?"
"Hmm, agreed... But when you get pregnant, it depends on fate."
"Then... why not start today?"
Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.
"Okay."
