Chapter 18: Champagne pops at halftime, Zheng's father: Xiao Tian, ​​we've got this in the bag!

"Director Wu, how is it? It looks like he reached out to you?"

After receiving the call from Wu Xing, Zheng Jie knew what the situation was. After all, he had already deduced how the Zheng Family would target him. Now, it seemed the other party was steadily advancing according to his predictions.

Honestly, Zheng Jie was a bit speechless. He felt the Zheng Family underestimated him too much, and it left him feeling unsatisfied. After all, the so-called layout of the Zheng Family's operations was truly too childish.

Hearing this, Wu Xing nodded.

"Yes, Chairman."

"I proposed increasing the ratio by 8%, and he agreed."

"It looks like they want to settle this matter as quickly as possible."

This was certain.

After all, the longer the delay, the more Zheng Group would lose. Although the core goal of Father Zheng and Zheng Tian was to pull Zheng Jie from his position as chairman, for them, saving money where possible was still preferable. After all, money was being lost every day, and the Zheng Family would inevitably feel some heartache.

Hearing Wu Xing's words, Zheng Jie smiled.

"Did you tell him how long it would take to get back to him?"

"Three to four days, exactly as you instructed me yesterday."

Zheng Jie had actually calculated the time. Based on this progress, the contract for taking over the project again should be ready in about two days. So, three to four days was quite generous, which could prevent any issues. In short, Zheng Jie did not like to rush things; he preferred to leave himself some leeway. If any accidents occurred, there would still be time to resolve them.

As for why not say a longer time, he was mainly worried that the Zheng Family might suspect something if the time was too long. Therefore, three to four days was quite appropriate.

"Who is the leader the other party contacted? Qian Zheng, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Xing was slightly stunned.

"Boss, you calculated even this?"

"I was in the Zheng Family for a while, after all. I have a rough idea of who they know."

"Yes, Boss, it is indeed Qian Zheng. After they came just now, Qian Zheng also called me. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he couldn't support you. How should Qian Zheng be handled?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie checked the time.

"Next Monday, Qian Zheng will be taken away for investigation."

Zheng Jie said this calmly. The Zheng Family would never know how much power Zheng Jie had. In this place, he was practically invincible; after all, too many things required his nod to proceed.

Moreover, Qian Zheng himself was not clean, so dealing with him was actually quite easy. So, Qian Zheng probably never dreamed that because of a single phone call, his entire career would end. Barring any surprises, Qian Zheng would likely be sent directly to Prison to spend his retirement years.

"Understood. Boss, is there anything else you need me to cooperate with?"

"Nothing else. Just be careful during this time and don't let the Zheng Family discover any issues."

Zheng Jie didn't fear the Zheng Family, but if he could resolve the opponent with minimal resources, he would do so. After all, Zheng Jie didn't want to waste too many resources on the Zheng Family. Because these people weren't worthy.

"Alright, Chairman, I understand."

The call ended.

Zheng Jie sat in his chair.

"Qian Zheng? I wondered who you would find, and it turns out to be this guy. How ridiculous."

Zheng Jie's tone was filled with disdain. He had originally thought the Zheng Family had some unknown backup plan, but it turned out to be exactly as he had imagined. How was this any different from playing a game with full-map hacks? The opponent had only one outcome: to be crushed by him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Father Zheng didn't know that Zheng Jie had already made his arrangements. He was currently feeling quite happy.

Returning home, Zheng Tian looked at Father Zheng.

"Dad, you look so happy. Has everything been taken care of?"

Hearing this, Father Zheng nodded.

"Although the other party hasn't given me a definitive message yet, it's basically set. In three to four days, I will get an accurate reply. At the latest, by next week, Zheng Jie will be kicked out of the chairman's position."

When Father Zheng spoke, his tone was full of joy. After all, Zheng Jie had been disgusting him for some time, and now he had finally resolved the issue.

"I knew it. Once you make a move, Dad, it's a guaranteed victory."

"Hahaha, alright, hurry up and tell Su Qiaoer. We can't let her worry."

"Got it, Dad."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian quickly took out his phone and dialed Su Qiaoer. Because of the cancelled cooperation, Su Group was also putting some pressure on her.

Since it was basically a done deal now, Zheng Tian naturally wanted to tell Su Qiaoer as soon as possible.

"What is it, Tian?"

"Qiaoer, my dad just returned from Tengfei Group. Director Wu of Tengfei Group has basically agreed. By next week at the latest, Zheng Jie will be kicked out of the chairman's position."

Zheng Tian's tone was full of excitement.

"Huh? So smooth?"

Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned. He should have only gone to Tengfei Group today, right? She hadn't expected it to be settled in just a few hours.

"Of course! My dad contacted Qian Zheng this time, and once he spoke, Wu Xing was bound to agree. Plus, my dad offered the other party benefits, and given the situation inside Su Group, they wouldn't dare refuse. In short, don't worry. This matter is basically set in stone. Now I want to see how Zheng Jie struggles. He really thinks he's so capable? Heh, looking at it now, he's nothing more than that."

When Zheng Tian spoke, his tone was full of complacency.

But Zheng Tian could think about it. If it were him, he really couldn't achieve what Zheng Jie had achieved.

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.

"Alright, I know. Regardless, it's good that it can be solved smoothly."

"Right, are you busy with work?"

"Yes. There is dissatisfaction within the group, but it's only pressure for these few days. Also, I heard that Zheng Group has formally filed a lawsuit against our Su Group in court."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian's face was filled with disdain. In his view, Zheng Jie's struggles were meaningless. He really thought that holding the chairman's position meant he was sitting securely? Too naive.

See, his own father just made a slight move, and Zheng Jie lost. Thinking about the expression on Zheng Jie's face after losing the chairmanship made Zheng Tian feel quite happy.

"That's not a big problem. Next week, Dad will take back the chairman's position. By then, we will directly cancel the lawsuit and resume cooperation. I want to see if Zheng Jie can still be arrogant. Honestly, he even called you secondhand goods. In my heart, you are the most precious angel."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer smiled.

"Silly. Alright, as long as things progress smoothly. If there's anything, you must tell me immediately, you hear?"

"Rest assured, I definitely will."

Ending the call, Zheng Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

On the other side, Su Qiaoer looked at the disconnected phone and took a deep breath. Regardless, everything was going smoothly now.

"Zheng Jie, don't blame me."

"I have no choice."

Su Qiaoer also knew that if Su Group hadn't terminated the cooperation with Zheng Group, Father Zheng's plan might not have gone so smoothly. But in her view, she had to do this.

After all, between Zheng Tian and Zheng Jie, Su Qiaoer would choose Zheng Tian without hesitation. As for Zheng Jie, perhaps in Su Qiaoer's eyes, he was just a substitute from back then. If she had been doing well in the past five years, that was fine, but now that Zheng Tian was back, she wouldn't stay by Zheng Jie's side. After all, Zheng Tian was her white moonlight.

Late at night, Su Qiaoer returned home. After the Su Parents saw Su Qiaoer return, they quickly sat beside her.

"Qiaoer, how is it? What is the current situation with the Zheng Family? Can you win?"

Currently, in the internal strife of Zheng Group, how could anyone in the circle not know? The Su Family would certainly support Zheng Tian and the others. The reason was simple: their daughter was now married to Zheng Tian, which was legally recognized. So they were naturally on Zheng Tian's side. If they didn't support Zheng Tian, would they support Zheng Jie?

"Mom, Dad, don't worry. Zheng Tian called me today and said that Qian Zheng has already called Wu Xing of Tengfei Group. Plus, the Zheng Family gave Wu Xing more benefits, so after Wu Xing communicates with the other shareholders, he will support Father Zheng at the board meeting. So there's no big problem."

Hearing this, the Su Parents breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good."

The Su Family was most worried about Zheng Jie winning. If Zheng Jie won, the Su Family would be in trouble. After all, these projects were very important to Zheng Group, but they were also quite important to Su Group.

Therefore, this time was equivalent to the entire Su Group going all-in on Father Zheng and Zheng Tian. If they lost, they couldn't even imagine the consequences.

"I said it, Zheng Jie is definitely not the Zheng Family's opponent. Now, look, isn't he really not their opponent?"

Father Su said with a smile. Hearing this, Mother Su nodded.

"Yes, but Zheng Jie's attacks these past few days were too fierce, which made me a bit scared."

"What attacks? Whether it's arresting people or replacing senior management, these are just small tricks. As long as the chairman's position is gone, Zheng Jie's so-called attacks will be useless. Just wait, after next week, Zheng Group will return to its previous state, with no changes from the past."

Father Zheng said with a smile, and Mrs. Zheng next to him nodded frequently.

"Regardless, this is good news for us and worth celebrating."

Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.

"There's no need to celebrate yet. Let's wait until Zheng Jie loses the chairman's position."

After saying this, Su Qiaoer stood up and left the living room. Watching Su Qiaoer's departing back, the Su Parents looked at each other.

"Why does it feel like Qiaoer's mood isn't very high?"

Mother Su looked at Father Su and asked curiously.

"She must have been too busy today."

"Also, because of the cancellation of cooperation with Zheng Group, some people within the group are a bit dissatisfied."

Although Su Qiaoer was the Chairman of Su Group, it didn't mean all shares belonged to their family. In fact, the Su Parents had a younger brother, which was Su Qiaoer's uncle, and he had a son and a daughter. After the old Mr. Su passed away, he gave the company to Su Qiaoer's family, but also gave Su Qiaoer's uncle's family certain shares.

So now, the Su Family was worried that Su Qiaoer's decisions would cause problems, leading other shareholders to be dissatisfied with her, and then they would join forces to remove Su Qiaoer from the chairmanship. This was the reason why the Su Parents had been so nervous during this time.

If Zheng Jie won, Su Qiaoer would be finished. After all, these projects were too important. At that time, her uncle's family would definitely try every means to pull Su Qiaoer down from her current position. But now, the Su Parents felt they had been overthinking.

"Aren't they just trying to get the chairman's position? Now that Father Zheng has won, our daughter and Tian are husband and wife, belonging to a community of interests. I think their idea will fall through."

When Mother Su spoke, her tone was full of complacency. Hearing this, Father Su nodded.

"I hope there won't be any changes. If there are any changes, that would be bad."

Father Su felt that the current situation was something both families were happy to see.

And while the Su Parents were saying these things, Su Qiaoer was lying on the bed in her bedroom. For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy. Subconsciously, she felt things wouldn't go so smoothly. But thinking carefully, facing this situation, Zheng Jie had no way to resolve it. After all, they had lived together for many years, and Su Qiaoer believed she knew Zheng Jie very well, whether it was his ability or his connections.

Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer shook her head.

"Stop thinking about this."

Su Qiaoer pushed all these thoughts out of her mind.

After all, she was already married to Zheng Tian, why think about Zheng Jie?

Right?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zheng Jie was still at the company. After all, these past few days, Zheng Jie had been quite busy.

Now, the Zheng Family's biggest reliance was Qian Zheng, so Zheng Jie was preparing to directly resolve Qian Zheng. Then he would see how the Zheng Family could sit securely without Qian Zheng's support.
