Chapter 3 My brother's disdain: You, Su Jie, have always been my substitute.

"Boss."

In the private room, the man in a suit stood up quickly after seeing Zheng Jie enter. This man was Zhang Wei, Zheng Jie's absolute confidant; many matters that were inconvenient for Zheng Jie to handle personally were resolved by Zhang Wei.

"Sit down. Why be so formal between us?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled embarrassedly.

"Chairman, these are the 8% shares of Zheng Group from Director Huang, the 1.6% shares from President Qin, and the 3.3% shares from President Wang. If we add the shares controlled by our other subsidiary companies, you currently have 40.9% of Zheng Group's shares under your control."

Over these past few years, besides targeting Zheng Group, Zheng Jie had also established many other companies, and these companies had helped Zheng Jie acquire quite a few shares of Zheng Group.

"After the divorce, this contract will officially take effect."

Zheng Jie took out the share transfer contract he had just signed at home. Perhaps because his family was worried that Zheng Jie might not be willing to divorce, the contract stipulated that it would only take effect after Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer obtained their divorce certificate. Therefore, if there was anyone in this world who wanted Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer to divorce as soon as possible, it might not necessarily be the Zheng Parents or Zheng Tian; it could very well be Zheng Jie himself.

"Then, if we add these 10% shares, Chairman, your share ratio will exceed 50%. According to Zheng Group's board regulations, once shares exceed 50%, you will be able to pass any resolution."

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

"Yes, so in a month, Zheng Group will completely belong to me."

There was a hint of impatience in Zheng Jie's tone.

After all, with a company worth trillions about to fall into his hands, no one could remain calm.

Since transmigrating to this world, five whole years had passed. During these five years, Zheng Jie discovered that internet enterprises in this world seemed pitifully scarce; it was an undeveloped blue ocean. Heaven knows how excited Zheng Jie was when he realized this back then.

Therefore, besides targeting Zheng Group's shares, Zheng Jie also laid out plans in the internet industry. Over these five years, Zheng Jie had accumulated strength and capital beyond what ordinary people could imagine, but only Zheng Jie and his own direct subordinates knew about all of this.

Now everything was ready, just waiting for the divorce.

At this moment, Zheng Jie was even wishing there was no divorce cooling-off period.

After communicating all the matters with Zhang Wei, Zheng Jie got into the car parked at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Boss, are you returning to the Villa, or..."

The driver looked at Zheng Jie, his tone full of curiosity.

This driver was Zheng Jie's confidant and also his bodyguard, a former special forces soldier who had been on the battlefield and killed people. If it came to a fight, it wouldn't be much of a problem for him to handle 20 people alone.

No matter where Zheng Jie went, this bodyguard followed him the entire time. Therefore, in their circle, Zheng Jie was seen as a very good husband who treated Su Qiaoer well, was highly capable, and had brought Zheng Group to its current scale, earning him the title of the perfect male god in the circle. However, only the driver knew that Zheng Jie was not as clean as he appeared to be.

Although Zheng Jie could not be called promiscuous, nor was he lecherous, he did have his own mistresses.

Zheng Jie did not have many mistresses, only two. One was named Xia Wanqing, who had founded her own clothing brand; relying on Zheng Jie's online shopping company, her clothing brand was doing quite well. The other was named Huang Shihan, currently a second-tier actress in the entertainment industry.

These two women's beauty went without saying. While the four characters "alluring enough to topple cities" might be a bit of an exaggeration, their every move was full of charm, otherwise, they would not have been chosen by someone like Zheng Jie, who had a critical eye for women.

Besides their beauty, both women had curvy, perfect figures. Of course, what satisfied Zheng Jie the most was their inner qualities: they could provide emotional value, were not pretentious, knew their place, and would not cause trouble for Zheng Jie. They even knew about each other. Last time, they had even joined forces to deal with Zheng Jie for the first time, but relying on his heaven-defying ability, Zheng Jie had still defeated them soundly.

It was just that because Zheng Jie was so good at acting and was usually quite cautious, no one knew about these things.

"Go to Xia Wanqing's place."

"Understood."

Zheng Jie did not intend to return to the Villa, mainly because Su Qiaoer would definitely return tonight to get her things, and Zheng Jie was worried that he wouldn't be able to help but laugh if he saw Su Qiaoer.

The driver turned the car around and headed towards Xia Wanqing's place.

This was unavoidable; mainly because Huang Shihan was out filming a TV series and wouldn't be back for about a month, so Xia Wanqing would have to be the lucky one.

In the car, Zheng Jie looked out the window at the street outside. At this moment, Zheng Jie suddenly thought of something and looked at the driver in front.

"Old Li, how is your mother's illness?"

Hearing this, Old Li smiled.

"Thank you, Zheng Jie. My mother is recovering well now, and she even told me to work hard for you."

Driver Old Li's mother had suddenly been diagnosed with cancer a while ago. Although it was early stage, the location was too dangerous, and only two or three doctors in the country could perform this surgery. Old Li had no way to handle it; after all, he was just a driver and bodyguard, how could he contact such people? Therefore, he proactively approached Zheng Jie. After learning about this, Zheng Jie directly invited all the doctors capable of performing this surgery.

He even specifically gave Old Li half a month off, allowing him time to be by his mother's side during the most critical time. In terms of winning people's hearts, Zheng Jie was truly very professional.

"Mm, that's what they call good people having their own good fortune."

"Thank you, Boss."

"Since your mother has already arrived here, how about this: don't go back to your hometown. The conditions in your hometown county are not good, and it's inconvenient if the elderly have any minor ailments. How about this, I'll have my secretary arrange a house for you, so it'll be convenient to meet."

"Boss, really, there's no need. You pay me a salary of 50,000 a month, which is already very high. I really can't accept a house from you on top of that."

This was just his regular salary; in reality, his year-end bonus was also several hundred thousand.

After all, you have to treat the people around you well; only then will they be loyal to you.

Moreover, Old Li was a straightforward person by nature. If you treated him well, he would be absolutely loyal to you. Therefore, Zheng Jie was very willing to spend a little money to win him over.

Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.

"Are you the boss, or am I?"

"Listen to me."

"And this isn't a gift for you; it's for the old lady to enjoy her later years. This way, when you have time, you can go visit her. You're her only child, right?"

Zheng Jie said with a smile.

"Then Boss... I..."

"Just accept it."

"Thank you, Boss."

After arranging this matter, Zheng Jie turned his head and continued to look at the scenery outside.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Qiaoer and Zheng Tian arrived at the Villa. When he saw the huge photo of the two of them in the living room, a trace of disdain appeared in Zheng Tian's eyes.

"So what if you married Su Qiaoer while I was away? Now that I'm back, Su Qiaoer is still willing to follow me, and my parents are on my side. Zheng Jie, you are just a substitute for me. It's just a pity that you, this substitute, will never be able to take my place."

Zheng Tian's heart was filled with smugness.

After all, in his view, so what if Zheng Jie was capable?

As long as he returned, everything of his would be his own.

As for Zheng Jie, hehe, he had absolutely no qualifications to compete with him.

At this moment, Su Qiaoer, who was beside him, looked at the nanny and servants nearby.

"Is... Zheng Jie not back yet?"

Originally, Su Qiaoer was prepared to call him "Sir", but perhaps thinking that Zheng Tian was still by her side, she was afraid that saying it would make Zheng Tian unhappy, so she called him Zheng Jie.

Su Qiaoer was not much different from a fool.

Back then, Zheng Tian had simply chosen to flee the marriage because he wanted to pursue freedom, making her the laughingstock of the entire circle. A normal woman would not have any dealings with such a person, but what was the result? As soon as he returned, she started following Zheng Tian again.

It was no wonder that in the novel, she could be led around by the nose by Zheng Tian's riddled-with-holes lies.

Hearing this, the servant glanced at Su Qiaoer and then at Zheng Tian nearby.

"Eldest Young Master, Miss, the Second Young Master... he has not returned yet."

Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

He had clearly finished work and had already left the parents' place, so why hadn't he returned yet?

At this moment, Su Qiaoer felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. Just as she was about to call Zheng Jie, Zheng Tian's hand suddenly reached over.

"Qiaoer, Zheng Jie might not be able to accept this in such a short time. Calling him now would only provoke him..."

"Alright, don't think so much. Zheng Jie has people with him. Besides, he's a grown man, what kind of trouble could he get into?"

"And think about it, if Zheng Jie thinks you have feelings for him and becomes unwilling to divorce, what then..."

Saying this, Zheng Tian reached out and hugged Su Qiaoer from behind.

"Qiaoer, I have already lost you once; I really don't want to lose you a second time."

Feeling the scent of the man behind her and his affectionate words, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath and put her phone away.

She nodded, feeling that what Zheng Tian said made sense.

After all, she and Zheng Jie were a wrong beginning... Now that she could let everything return to the right track, she must do so.

At this moment, Su Qiaoer suddenly thought of something.

She was wondering... was Zheng Jie deliberately not returning because he wanted her to go find him? If that was the case, Su Qiaoer felt that she should definitely not make that phone call, as it would cause Zheng Jie to have thoughts he shouldn't have.

It was just that Su Qiaoer overestimated herself.

Because at this moment, Zheng Jie was looking at Xia Wanqing, who was wearing a bunny girl outfit on the bed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Moreover, this bunny girl even had a tail.

"Hubby... this is a surprise I prepared for you."

"Huang Shihan hasn't done this before, right?"

As expected.

Women are indeed prone to jealousy.

Although the two of them got along well, there were times when they were competing with each other.

But this kind of competition was something Zheng Jie very much wanted to see.

After all, it was he who was enjoying it.
