Chapter 19 Su Qiao'er's Reflections: Zheng Jie is still stronger.
Over the next two days, both the Zheng Family and Zheng Jie were unusually calm. However, everyone knew that beneath the calm surface, turbulent waves were surging, and it was possible that a massive storm could be triggered at any moment.
The eyes of the business circle were basically focused on the Zheng Group, as everyone knew this group was currently the center of the storm.
That afternoon, Zhang Wei pushed open the door to the office of the Chairman.
"Boss, the contracts have been signed."
After saying this, Zhang Wei took out a thick stack of documents and placed them on the table. Zheng Jie looked at the thick pile of documents, then raised his head to look at Zhang Wei.
"Your arm strength is not bad, carrying such heavy things over here by yourself."
At this moment, Zheng Jie still had the mood to joke with Zhang Wei. It was evident that Zheng Jie was quite calm and did not show any panic. Hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled.
"I always want the boss to see these contracts as soon as possible."
"Among the six projects where the Su Group cancelled cooperation, five have been turned into collaborations between us and several of our internet companies. As for the new energy vehicles, it has become a joint cooperation between the Zheng Group, Zhengxing Group, and Huaxia Heavy Industry Group. These are the specific proportions; please take a look."
Zhang Wei also knew that Zheng Jie was very busy. Under these circumstances, it was impossible to read the specific contract details in detail. Therefore, before coming, Zhang Wei had already extracted the core points of the contracts to make it easier for Zheng Jie to review.
Hearing this, Zheng Jie took the papers handed over by the other party. They were basically the proportions they had thought of from the beginning, and there were no major changes. Although the proportion of the Zheng Group in the new energy vehicle sector had decreased, the reduction was only 3%, which was very acceptable for the Zheng Group.
"Okay, not bad."
"Sure enough, making you the President was the right decision."
Hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled.
"It is still because of your sufficient preparation, Boss. Otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly on my end. Boss, do you think I should let the relevant departments officially announce this matter to the public?"
Now, people in the circle felt that Zheng Jie seemed to be in trouble. Therefore, the appearance of this announcement would give these people a hard slap in the face. Hearing this, Zheng Jie thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"It would be too boring to make it public at this time."
"I have received news that Qian Zheng will be taken away by the relevant departments for investigation on Monday morning. So... let's announce it after Qian Zheng is taken away."
Zhang Wei immediately understood what Zheng Jie meant. Hearing this, he nodded.
"There is one more thing. Currently, the court has accepted our lawsuit. According to my communication with the court, the hearing date this time will be relatively quick. It is estimated that the trial might open around the 10th of this month."
Under normal circumstances, court hearings also require queuing. After all, there are only so many judges, but there are so many cases, so queuing is very normal. It's just that Zhang Wei used channels to go through a green channel. From filing the lawsuit to the official hearing, it was less than a month.
Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
"Okay, well done."
"Boss, there is one more thing. In addition to the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract, we have lost over 83.6 billion yuan in the past few days."
When he heard this number, Zheng Jie was slightly stunned.
He was the Chairman of the company. How much money the company had lost due to cancelling contracts in the past few days, if others didn't know, could he not know?
83.6 billion?
Forget it.
At most, it was just a few billion.
Therefore, this number that Zhang Wei brought up was just to scam money from the Su Group.
"Zhang Wei, you are truly professional when it comes to scamming people, but this number isn't something we can just make up, right?"
Zhang Wei nodded.
"So, Chairman, I have already arranged it. 83.6 billion will most likely not be agreed to, but 50 billion can definitely be proven with evidence."
This kind of thing was absolutely no problem for Zhang Wei. Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
"In short, you handle this matter."
"Thank you for your trust, Boss. I guarantee that I will not let you down."
"Hmm, okay."
Zheng Jie nodded. After watching Zhang Wei leave, Zheng Jie leaned back in his chair with a face full of comfort. Although he had prepared sufficiently, without the final result, there was a certain probability of complications. So, when it was confirmed that the matter was settled, Zheng Jie also let out a sigh of relief, but Zheng Jie did not show it in front of Zhang Wei.
Perhaps it was because he had been sitting for too long, Zheng Jie felt some discomfort in his waist. Therefore, he stood up from the chair and walked to the window. Today's weather was nice, sunny, which matched Zheng Jie's mood.
Moreover, besides the compensation, Zhang Wei had also cooked up tens of billions in additional losses. Really... Zheng Jie felt that Zhang Wei was truly the perfect President, knowing exactly how to make the company gain profits.
Giving him 1% share dividends was so worth it.
At this moment, Zheng Jie suddenly thought of something, took out his phone, and dialed Xia Wanqing's number.
"Hello, Hubby, what's wrong?"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I can get off work normally today."
"Hmm? Really?"
During this period, because Zheng Jie was too busy, he always got off work late. Even for two or three days, Zheng Jie slept directly in the office of the Chairman. Therefore, when she heard that Zheng Jie would get off work normally today, Xia Wanqing was naturally happy in her heart.
After all, her pregnancy plan had already been put on the schedule. This kind of thing couldn't be done just once; it had to be done multiple times. Therefore, Xia Wanqing wanted to have more time to spend with Zheng Jie, but Zheng Jie was too busy, and Xia Wanqing was sensible, so she didn't say it out loud.
"Hmm."
"Okay, then I will wait for you at home. By the way, I also bought some clothes these past few days. How about... after you come back, I try them on for you to see?"
Hearing this, the corners of Zheng Jie's mouth curled up slightly.
"Aren't you very beautiful in whatever you wear?"
"Oh, these clothes are different. Alright, you'll know when you come back."
"Okay."
Ending the call, Zheng Jie looked up at the high-rise buildings outside.
Now that everything had settled, it was time to let the Zheng Family end their fantasies.
... Divider line
At the Zheng Family, Father Zheng was reading the newspaper, and Zheng Tian happened to be coming out of the room.
"Dad, is there still no news from Wu Xing? It's been two days already, why is there still no movement? Do you think Wu Xing is not planning to cooperate with us?"
Zheng Tian was a bit anxious. Hearing this, Father Zheng raised his head and looked at Zheng Tian.
"Rest assured."
"Qian Zheng called him personally. Does Wu Xing have the guts to refuse?"
"And the person said it very clearly at that time, it would be three to four days. It has only been two days now, and you are already anxious? Be more steady."
"In the future, the company will be handed over to you. Being so anxious is not good."
Father Zheng was not anxious. In his opinion, this matter was already a done deal; how could there be any changes? Hearing this, Zheng Tian took a deep breath.
"It's mainly... I want you to return to the Zheng Group quickly, Dad. I don't even know what Zheng Jie has turned the Zheng Group into. And so many executives of the company are locked up in Prison. These past few days, their family members have been calling me constantly. Anyway, I am a bit anxious, and I am also worried that they are suffering inside?"
Zheng Tian coughed and casually made up a reason.
"Don't worry, it will only be these few days. It is estimated that it will be solved by Monday at the latest. By then, I will take back the position of Chairman. Xiaotian, you will still be the company President. As for Zheng Jie... Hmph, he will also have to hand over the shares in his hands, and then those people can also come out. You should also comfort their family members."
Father Zheng's tone was full of indifference.
After this incident, Father Zheng was completely disappointed with Zheng Jie. He had already thought about how he would take back Zheng Jie's shares, and even if Zheng Jie was unwilling, he would have to agree.
"Take them back?"
"Really?"
Zheng Tian was happy in his heart when he heard this. After all, when the family gave Zheng Jie 10% of the shares at the beginning, he was unhappy in his heart. Now that they could actually take them back, Zheng Tian was certainly happy. After all, in his opinion, everything in the family should be his, and Zheng Jie, who was raised in the countryside since childhood, why was he worthy of getting these shares?
"Of course."
"Zheng Jie is an ungrateful wolf."
"With the shares in his hands, I am afraid this guy can still do many uncontrollable things. And if we take the shares back, we can be at ease."
Father Zheng sat in the chair, talking about his plan unhurriedly. Hearing this, Zheng Tian nodded.
"That's true, Zheng Jie is really too ignorant. Obviously, Mom and Dad are also doing it for his own good, but I didn't expect him to rebel. Now, because of his rebellion, the company has suffered such a huge loss. We must give Zheng Jie some punishment."
Zheng Tian said this, as if all of this was because of Zheng Jie's problem, and they had no problems at all.
"Yes, we must give the other party some punishment."
"Alright, Zheng Jie, go to Su Qiaoer's place today. It's Saturday anyway, accompany Su Qiaoer to go out for a stroll. Su Qiaoer has been under a lot of pressure during this time. Spend more time with Su Qiaoer. After the company is taken back, the wedding preparations and the renovation of the wedding house will proceed as usual. When you get married, you should consider the issue of children, after all... you are not young anymore."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian scratched his head.
"Got it, Dad. You can rest assured. I will discuss it properly with Su Qiaoer."
After saying a few words, Zheng Tian went out. Today, Su Qiaoer was also resting at home. At this moment, she was looking at the company's stock price. Since the Su Group announced that it had terminated cooperation with the Zheng Group, both the Zheng Group and the Su Group had seen their stock prices drop to a certain extent.
However, the stock price drop of the Zheng Group was not as large as that of the Su Group.
Just as Su Qiaoer was watching the stock price, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The family nanny heard the knock and hurried to the door to open it.
It was Zheng Tian.
"Xiaotian is here."
The Su Parents were full of smiles after seeing Zheng Tian arrive. In the past, when Zheng Jie came, the Su Parents had never been this enthusiastic. After all, in their opinion, Zheng Jie had no status compared to Zheng Tian. It was only later when Zheng Jie became the President that the attitude of this couple improved a bit.
It could only be said that these Su Parents only cared about whether Su Qiaoer's husband could bring benefits to the Su Family. If he could bring benefits, they would smile and treat him well, but if he couldn't bring benefits, these people would turn their faces.
This circle is just like this, too realistic.
Two years ago, when he came, Zheng Jie was often subjected to passive-aggressive remarks, but at that time, Su Qiaoer only said that they spoke like that, and never stood up for Zheng Jie.
Originally, when reading the novel, Zheng Jie had some misunderstandings about the male lead returning and remarrying Su Qiaoer. When he truly experienced it once, those misunderstandings became even more numerous.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here to see Su Qiaoer."
"Okay, then you and Su Qiaoer have a good chat. We are just preparing to go out for a stroll."
"Okay."
Soon, only Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer were left in the house.
Zheng Tian sat beside Su Qiaoer. He subconsciously reached out his hand and put his arm around Su Qiaoer's arm.
"Su Qiaoer, what are you looking at? It's Saturday, why don't you take a break?"
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer sighed.
"Looking at the company's stock price."
"Now our company's stock price has dropped by 30%."
Su Qiaoer's tone was full of helplessness. Since she became the Chairman of Su Group until now, the company's stock price had never dropped, and now it had dropped by a full 30%.
"Don't worry, Su Qiaoer, the current drop is normal. After Dad returns to the Zheng Group and restores cooperation, everything will get better. It's all Zheng Jie's fault. You say, if it weren't for Zheng Jie, where would there be so much trouble, right?"
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.
That's right.
It's all Zheng Jie's fault.
In Su Qiaoer's opinion, if Zheng Jie had obediently divorced her and taken this 10% of the shares to live his own little life, how could the Su Family and the Zheng Family have lost so much?
This idea of Su Qiaoer was to let Zheng Jie be a dog obediently. No matter what the Zheng Family asked Zheng Jie to do, Zheng Jie had to agree, even if it meant death.
"Hmm, is there still no news from Wu Xing?"
"No... Dad said, it's estimated to be Monday. But we've waited for these few days, so we don't care about these one or two days."
"That's true."
At this time, Zheng Tian put his hand into Su Qiaoer's clothes.
"Su Qiaoer, it's been a few days for us. How about... Aunt and Uncle aren't here, let's..."
Su Qiaoer's face turned slightly red upon hearing this.
However, after these few times, Su Qiaoer actually found that Zheng Tian was not as good as Zheng Jie in that kind of matter. Every time, Zheng Jie would make her lose her armor and weapons, like dying once, but Zheng Tian sometimes made her unable to get a perfect experience.
It was just that the two of them had already received their marriage certificate, and it had indeed been a few days, so Su Qiaoer also had some thoughts.
"Then you... go take a shower first."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian nodded frantically.
A dozen minutes later, in the bathroom, Zheng Tian took a blue pill from his pocket and ate it.
Hmm, today Zheng Tian might be preparing to prove himself.
On the other side, Su Qiaoer lay on the bed. Although she was very dissatisfied with Zheng Jie in her heart, she didn't know why, but thinking about what was about to happen, Su Qiaoer suddenly thought of Zheng Jie.
"This guy is a villain, though."
"But he is indeed quite powerful."
"Forget it, stop thinking about it... Such a person is not worthy of being my husband."
Su Qiaoer hurriedly shook her head, driving all those strange thoughts out of her mind.
Only, although she forced herself not to think about it, those previous scenes still appeared in front of her naturally.
It can only be said...
Zheng Jie really has some skills.
