Chapter 7: The cooling-off period is over. Zheng Jie: The plan is in action.
Deep at night, the Zheng Parents were sitting on the bed talking.
"I heard that today, Zheng Tian suspended several projects that Zheng Jie had previously approved? Do you know about this?"
When Mrs. Zheng spoke, she raised her head and looked at Father Zheng.
"Mm, I know."
"It's normal. Zheng Tian wants to prove his own ability, so he will definitely suspend the projects that Zheng Jie approved. This is very normal."
Father Zheng didn't feel there was any problem with this matter, even though these projects were obtained by Zheng Jie leading his team for a month, sleeping only four hours a day on average. But after his efforts were sacrificed, in Father Zheng's eyes, it was just normal.
"Do you think what we are doing is unfair to Zheng Jie?"
"Making him divorce Su Qiaoer, and now removing him from his position as president."
"Originally we planned to let him be the Chairman of Zheng Apparel, and now we aren't letting him do that either."
"I..."
Mrs. Zheng still had some humanity and felt that it had been too unfair to Zheng Jie recently. Hearing these words, Father Zheng shook his head.
"What is unfair about this? Originally, all of this should have belonged to Zheng Tian. It was just that a few years ago, Zheng Tian wasn't mature yet, so we gave Zheng Jie a chance. Now that the opportunity has come for Zheng Tian, why should Zheng Jie continue to occupy the magpie's nest? Furthermore, didn't I give Zheng Jie 10% of the shares? This money is enough for him to be happy for a lifetime."
When Father Zheng spoke, his tone was haughty, as if this 10% share wasn't something agreed upon from the beginning, but a reward.
As for why Zheng Apparel wasn't given to Zheng Jie, it was mainly because Father Zheng had seriously considered it afterward and felt that if he let Zheng Jie stay in the company for a few more years, even in a marginalized business, what if Zheng Jie developed ambition in his heart? It would bring some trouble to Zheng Tian.
That's right, even now, in their hearts they only considered Zheng Tian. As for Zheng Jie's feelings, they wouldn't consider them at all. Even if they had to choose between Zheng Tian and Zheng Jie to survive, they would choose Zheng Tian without hesitation. As for Zheng Jie... from birth until now, he had always been the one sacrificed.
No one cared, unless they suddenly needed to use you, only then would they briefly remember that there was such a son.
Perhaps for them, they had already developed path dependence. When Zheng Tian and Zheng Jie had a conflict, they would always sacrifice Zheng Jie.
"Stop thinking about these things, go to sleep."
"Tomorrow we have to go and discuss the wedding of Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer with the Su Family."
"This time, I must give them a wedding of the century."
"And give them a budget of 2 billion to buy the best Villa in the most prosperous part of the entire city."
"My son deserves these."
Mm.
When Father Zheng spoke, his tone was full of anticipation, as if he was looking forward to meeting with the in-laws tomorrow.
On the other side, Zheng Jie stood by the hotel window, looking at the turbulent sea surface outside, his eyes full of calmness.
Just at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up.
"Chairman, the several projects that had their investments suspended by Zheng Tian have already been taken over by our subsidiary company."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
Zheng Jie had great talent in investment; the projects he favored would definitely make a huge profit. Therefore, Zheng Jie had originally thought that no matter how stupid Zheng Tian was, looking at his own past investment success rate, he would continue to invest in these projects. But Zheng Tian's stupidity was clearly enough to shock even Zheng Jie. He knew the other party was stupid, but he didn't expect him to be this stupid, so Zheng Jie immediately arranged for his other companies to take over these projects.
"Mm, okay, keep this matter confidential."
"Don't worry, currently, except for a few high-level executives, no one else knows yet."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
"Okay, if there is anything else, call me again."
"Understood."
Just after hanging up the phone, his phone rang again; it was a message sent by someone.
"Tomorrow afternoon, the Zheng Family and the Su Family will discuss the wedding arrangements."
"The wedding house for Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer has a budget of 2 billion, and the wedding will be built by the two families into a wedding of the century."
Looking at this message, Zheng Jie did not reply. He raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance with his deep eyes. For a long time, Zheng Jie laughed, and this smile was full of disdain and mockery.
He now admired the male lead in the novel a little bit.
He himself could be said to have no feelings for the Zheng Family or Su Qiaoer, but when he experienced this unfair treatment as an insider, even without feelings, he would still have some anger, some grievance. And the original owner truly had feelings for them; when he experienced these things, what would his mood be like?
Not going crazy could perhaps be considered having a good mentality.
"Got it."
After replying with a concise sentence, Zheng Jie turned off his phone.
"Zheng Family, Zheng Tian, let's wait and see."
A firm look appeared in Zheng Jie's eyes.
Be proud now; the prouder you are, the more miserably you will fall later.
Because Zheng Jie chose to travel during the one-month cooling-off period for the divorce, for Zheng Tian, Su Qiaoer, and even the Zheng Family and the Su Family, it was as if they had returned to the period before Zheng Tian escaped the marriage, discussing wedding matters for the young couple Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer every day.
And unknowingly, the one-month marriage cooling-off period was almost up.
At this time, Zheng Jie was waiting for a plane. Just when he was bored, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Father Zheng.
He picked up.
"Hello, Dad."
When Zheng Jie spoke, his tone was calm.
"Where are you?"
"Waiting for a plane, what's wrong?"
"Let me tell you, tomorrow is the end of the marriage cooling-off period. You had better not play any tricks on me, otherwise, I guarantee you won't get anything."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.
So he specifically made this call to warn him.
Heh.
Truly his own father.
"I won't. I am currently waiting for the plane back."
"Tomorrow, I will definitely appear at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Hearing this, Father Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, everything was ready now, just waiting for the divorce certificate of Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer.
Seeing Zheng Jie being so cooperative, Father Zheng's tone relaxed quite a bit.
"After receiving the divorce certificate tomorrow, that contract will officially take effect, and you will own 10% of the shares of the Zheng Group. Take these shares and go do some things you like."
Zheng Jie nodded.
"Mm, I know."
At this moment, seeing that the flight on the airport screen had started boarding, Zheng Jie coughed.
"Dad, the plane has arrived, I need to go to boarding."
"Mm, okay, go ahead."
Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jie pulled his suitcase and walked towards the boarding gate.
He was going back, to take back everything that was his.
Zheng Family, Zheng Tian, Su Qiaoer...
See you tomorrow.
