Chapter 79 Zheng Jie's Teasing: Mother, do you really understand my brother?

In the evening, Zheng Jie received a call from Mrs. Zheng. He was not surprised by the sudden call; people in this circle were always smart. In this situation, no one would get involved in the Zheng family's affairs. Therefore, if she wanted Father Zheng to get out, Mrs. Zheng could only contact Zheng Jie.

He answered the phone.

"Zheng Jie, do you have time tomorrow? Mother wants to meet with you."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.

Zheng Jie?

Mother?

They weren't saying this because they knew they were wrong, but because they understood that Zheng Jie was the only one who could rescue Father Zheng.

"Tomorrow? I have time tomorrow. What is it?"

"I want to talk to you about Father Zheng's situation."

"Eight o'clock tomorrow morning, at the coffee shop outside Zheng Group."

"Okay, I understand."

Hanging up the phone, Xia Wanqing looked at Zheng Jie.

"Are you planning to take action?"

"If they give me the money again, I would be willing to act."

Hearing this, Xia Wanqing wiped her lips and smiled.

"Then do you think they will?"

"Hard to say. Someone like Zheng Tian... might not agree. How should I put it, this guy is selfish, just like me."

Zheng Jie had a very clear assessment of himself. Hearing this, Xia Wanqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Stop it, you are not selfish."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie reached out and touched Xia Wanqing's face.

"You still say such sweet things."

"Because you are the person I love."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with everything understood without words.

...

The next morning, in the coffee shop, Zheng Jie met Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng's face was full of exhaustion; she was the one handling all of the Zheng family's current affairs, so naturally, she was a bit tired.

"Zheng Jie, we are all family. I know you had some misunderstandings about us in the past, but please believe us, we care for you very much."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.

"Care? Is your so-called care destroying my marriage, dismissing me as Chairman, and then launching a crazy counterattack?"

When this was said, Mrs. Zheng fell silent.

"This... sigh, but in our circle, it has always been the eldest child who takes over the family business, hasn't it?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked at Mrs. Zheng.

"Speak. What do you want by coming here?"

"Father Zheng is old. I've consulted a lawyer, and if this matter is confirmed, it will mean a prison sentence of more than ten years. At Father Zheng's age, it's highly likely he won't be able to get out. So, can you help by getting Father Zheng out? Don't worry, I promise that after Father Zheng comes out, he definitely won't have any designs on Zheng Group. We will just live our own quiet lives. Is that possible?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.

The reason the other party was so soft-spoken now was entirely because they realized that playing hardball with Zheng Jie was useless, and now they had no qualifications to play hardball anyway.

"Let Father Zheng come out?"

"Then what do I get?"

Mrs. Zheng was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

As expected, the other party wanted benefits.

"What do you want? Whatever the family has, we can agree to it."

"Well... I know the family has 20 billion. If all that money is given to me, perhaps I might show some leniency."

When she heard the other party asking for 20 billion, Mrs. Zheng was not surprised. In fact, when she came, Mrs. Zheng had already anticipated that the other party would ask for such things.

"20 billion? Zheng Jie, this is all the family's liquid assets. If we give it all to you, the family will have nothing left. We are your parents, after all. Can you leave some behind? How about 15 billion? We can give you this money, but please leave us some."

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of pleading. Hearing this, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.

"Even if I agree, would Zheng Tian agree?"

"Do you not really understand your eldest son?"

"That guy spends money like water. Would he agree to give me 15 billion?"

Mrs. Zheng was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

"I... can persuade him."

Zheng Jie took a deep breath.

"18 billion. That is my bottom line. As long as you give me 18 billion, I can ensure he gets a three-year suspended sentence. That way, it's equivalent to him not going in. Furthermore, I can pay the fines for the money he transferred abroad, but the premise is that this 18 billion must be given to me. 2 billion is enough for you to live a decent life, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng hesitated a bit.

"Of course, I'm not saying you have to give me an answer right now. 24 hours. You give me an answer within 24 hours."

"Fine, I'll go back and think about it."

"Good. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Leaving these final words, Zheng Jie turned and left. Watching Zheng Jie's retreating figure, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

...

In the lobby on the first floor of Zheng Group, when Zheng Jie walked in, a woman sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up.

"Chairman Zheng."

Hearing this voice, Zheng Jie subconsciously looked over.

This woman was wearing a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses. If he were to rate her, Zheng Jie would probably give her a nine out of ten.

Lao Li looked at the situation and immediately became alert.

"Who are you?"

"Chairman Zheng, I am Chairman Qin, the Chairman and CEO of Domain Technology."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie frowned.

"You came to find me because..."

"I would like to obtain your investment."

At this moment, Zheng Jie chuckled, because it was no exaggeration to say that this was the first person to come to him like this to ask for investment. Thinking of this, Zheng Jie became interested.

"Investment? But it seems I don't yet know what your company does."

"If possible, I would like to have 10 minutes to introduce it."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked at his watch.

"10 minutes?"

"How about this: come with me to the elevator now, and then go to the top floor. In the process, convince me to allow you to enter my office. If you cannot convince me, then I will have to let you go back from the top floor to the first floor."

At this moment, Chairman Qin took a deep breath.

Although time was a bit tight, Chairman Qin had no choice but to bite the bullet.

She nodded.

"No problem."

"Very confident?"

"This is my last chance; it has nothing to do with confidence."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Good, then come with me."

"I hope... what you bring me will be a surprise."

After saying this, Zheng Jie headed towards the elevator, while Chairman Qin followed alongside and began her introduction.
