110: Chapter 110 Buyers Emerge

"I can tell you weren't listening to me just now. I already told you."

Hearing the tone in Xia Wei's voice, Zhang Shan knew that while he was zoning out just now, he must have missed something important.

"Oh, come on, you know I was angry just now, so I wasn't listening carefully. Don't be mad, please. Be the bigger person and tell me again."

Zhang Shan acted coquettishly toward Xia Wei.

Seeing Zhang Shan like this, whatever anger Xia Wei had vanished into thin air.

"It's like this: this upcoming networking event is a great opportunity for our company. It could increase our status in Zhili Country. We might even get some unexpected benefits."

Zhang Shan looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Isn't this just a simple business gathering? Why does it sound so mysterious when you put it that way?"

Xia Wei raised her hand, pretending to hit him.

"Of course not. If it were just a regular business gathering, the major noble families of Zhili Country wouldn't attend. They wouldn't consider attending this event an honor. Plus, only one hundred companies can attend. Many companies are breaking their necks trying to get in. I didn't expect us to actually qualify for this event."

Xia Wei became more and more excited as she spoke.

"On the surface, this networking event looks like an opportunity, but in reality, it's about the distribution of resources in the Zhili Country business world. Every company that attends can gain unexpected benefits."

What the hell? Distribution of business resources? Who has the ability to distribute these resources? Just those few old-established companies in this country? By what right do they have this qualification?

Zhang Shan thought, feeling unconvinced. However, looking at Xia Wei's excited expression, he didn't say much. In his heart, he felt that this event wasn't as simple as Xia Wei described.

Knock, knock.

Actually, Chen Chen had been standing at the door for a long time. But Secretary Xu had told him not to disturb the people inside the office easily, so he had been waiting outside. But he couldn't wait any longer.

Just as he knocked on the door, Secretary Xu said, "Good luck." Chen Chen instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Who is it? What's the matter?" Xia Wei's expression changed, instantly transforming into that of a powerful businesswoman.

"CEO Xia, it's me, Chen Chen. I have something to report to you."

"Alright, come in."

Chen Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

"What is it? Speak quickly."

"CEO Xia, Boss. Just now, the mysterious buyer of that batch of machines appeared. He just called us."

"Okay, go on."

Zhang Shan took over the conversation. He looked at Xia Wei, indicating that his hunch was correct. However, he hadn't expected this person to appear so quickly.

"Who is he?" Xia Wei asked.

"It's the eldest son of the Zheng Group, Mr. Zheng," Chen Chen said.

"Mr. Zheng. Why would he be involved in this?" Xia Wei frowned. The name was somewhat familiar to her. After all, they had met a few times before. But she had looked through the original Sun Group files, and there was absolutely no mention of Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng had originally rejected Hua Qing's request. He could help him get out of trouble, but he didn't want to help him with the machines. But after thinking it over carefully, if he could accomplish both, there wouldn't be so much red tape when using Hua Qing in the future. Hua Qing would also not refuse, out of face for having helped him.

"What did this Mr. Zheng say?" Xia Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"CEO Xia, it's like this: Mr. Zheng said that this batch of machines was purchased by Victor on his behalf. He paid a large deposit at the time. He had been busy with other things for a while and hadn't checked the progress, since he had cooperated with Victor and his team many times before and trusted them."

"But he saw this matter on the news and felt it would cause us some trouble, so he wanted to take the machines away. He also said he hopes CEO Xia will give him the machines out of respect for him."

Chen Chen told Xia Wei all of Mr. Zheng's demands in one breath.

Xia Wei frowned. She felt that things weren't that simple. First of all, she hadn't seen the money he mentioned on the books. And since this matter had blown up so big, she didn't want to willingly hand over the shipment to Mr. Zheng. Although they knew each other, they weren't close.

Moreover, based on Zhang Shan's analysis, they both believed that the buyer of this batch of machines and the person controlling Inspector Zhong were the same. Now this mysterious buyer had appeared before them. If they just let this framing incident slide, wouldn't everyone be able to crap on the head of Aolu Group in the future?

"Chen Chen, I seem to remember that the money he mentioned isn't on our books," Xia Wei asked Chen Chen.

"I checked that too. There really is no such money." Chen Chen was also somewhat puzzled.

"Then go and ask clearly who paid for these machines. After all, he's just using his mouth to say these things are his, which is a bit too simple. If someone else comes and says they bought them, we'll be in trouble. You'd better ask clearly. Get the receipts for the purchase. Otherwise, we won't give him the goods."

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Shan's face. He understood what Xia Wei meant. They couldn't just hand over this batch of machines so easily. They had wanted to use this opportunity to find the mastermind behind the frame-up, and since he had delivered himself to their doorstep, they wouldn't be polite.

"Alright, CEO Xia, I understand. I'll go contact him now."

After acknowledging, Chen Chen immediately left the office.

Looking at the frowning Xia Wei, Zhang Shan was a bit confused. After all, the mastermind had now surfaced on their own, so why was she still looking so troubled?

"What's wrong? Why that expression? The mysterious buyer has appeared now, which is a good thing for us!"

"I don't know either. I just feel that this matter isn't that simple. Although I haven't dealt with Mr. Zheng many times, I know that he isn't someone who lets things go easily. Another point is that I'm afraid of Mr. Zheng's power."

"What do you mean? How can that be? What about your power?"

"Mr. Zheng has a lot of connections in the government, and he's a cut above our family," Xia Wei said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Isn't it expected that he won't let it go? But it won't be that easy to get this batch of weapons from our hands. After all, those who plot against us must pay the price," Zhang Shan said coldly.
