Chapter 151: Jin Zhiyuan Released from Prison

"President Xu, please don't frown. The few of us are all President Zheng's lackeys now," Chang Dashan said with a chuckle.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm just a little brother working for President Zheng now. I'll do whatever President Zheng tells me to do," President Ma Wencheng chimed in from the side.

Zheng Qian and Xu Shuyun walked over hand in hand. As long as one wasn't blind, anyone could see the relationship between them.

Zheng Qian was their boss, so wouldn't that make Xu Shuyun their lady boss?

They had to build a good relationship with her.

What was wrong with being a fence-sitter?

What was wrong with being Zheng Qian's lapdog?

Look at Hu Jingyi, who didn't know what was good for him and insisted on picking a fight with Zheng Qian.

Well, in the end, he was beaten into submission, and didn't Yamei Group still end up in President Zheng's hands?

It would have been better if he had just signed obediently back then; he just had to be beaten black and blue before he would behave.

Xu Shuyun was still a bit dazed, not quite understanding what Chang Dashan and President Ma Wencheng meant.

How did they suddenly become Zheng Qian's lackeys and little brothers?

Dafu Timber, Jiyuan Woodworking—which one of them wasn't worth a hundred million?

Could it be that Zheng Qian had acquired these two companies?

"Alright, alright, no need for pleasantries. Everyone, please sit," Zheng Qian waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their seats.

"Thanks to Boss Han giving me face today, I was able to book so many tables. I'd like to thank Boss Han first," Zheng Qian thanked Boss Han.

"President Zheng, what are you saying? As long as it's to celebrate your success, let alone a hundred tables, even if I had to book the entire Wangyue Island for three days, I would do it. After all, we are close."

After Zheng Qian gave the signal, Manager Li Tao walked onto the stage with a microphone to speak.

He briefly introduced Qianhe Group and its subsidiary companies.

"From now on, no matter which company you are in or what position you hold, everyone here is a colleague!"

"Great!"

Enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from below the stage.

Only then did Xu Shuyun understand what Qianhe Group actually did.

That rascal Zheng Qian!

He had planned such a massive move behind her back, yet he hadn't even mentioned a word to her.

However, this also proved from another angle that she hadn't misjudged him. Becoming the chairman of a group company worth several hundred million at such a young age spoke volumes about his capability.

At the same time, Xu Shuyun realized another thing: if Zheng Qian wanted to acquire Jinxiu Group and make it a subsidiary of Qianhe Group, it would be an absolute breeze.

Zheng Qian already held 40% of the shares. Buying the remaining 60% would only cost him several tens of millions at most.

But Zheng Qian hadn't done so, probably to spare her feelings.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuyun suddenly felt a warm glow in her heart.

At the other tables.

The Public Relations Department of Zhengxin Shipyard received a notice that they would relocate to the Long Lake headquarters tomorrow and formally establish a special administrative processing team.

The team members would remain the same, with Zhong Xiaoyao serving as the team leader and Qin Xueli as the deputy leader.

They had also come to attend the celebration banquet today.

From time to time, Zhong Xiaoyao glanced toward the main table, sizing up Xu Shuyun with a hostile gaze.

"Yaoyao, why is your mouth a bit crooked? Who made you so angry?" Qin Xueli raised her wine glass and said mockingly.

"You..."

Zhong Xiaoyao hadn't been too angry just now, her anger merely a tiny spark. Qin Xueli's words were undoubtedly pouring a bucket of gasoline onto that spark.

Zhong Xiaoyao's anger instantly flared up.

"What are you gloating about?" Zhong Xiaoyao snapped back.

Although the relationship between Zheng Qian and Xu Shuyun hadn't been explicitly stated, it was already out in the open, okay?

Instead of thinking about what to do in the future, Qin Xueli was actually mocking her.

"How am I gloating? Let me give you a piece of advice: since you want to be that, don't try to set up a chastity arch, alright?"

A few days ago, Zhong Xiaoyao had set a trap for her, trying to use the position of the Public Relations Department leader to get her to confess to Chen Weiqiang.

Looking back now, it was a good thing she was clever enough. If she had really gone to Chen Weiqiang, she might not have been able to relocate to Long Lake at all and would still be stuck at Zhengxin Shipyard.

Zhengxin Shipyard had grown quite large now and had acquired Yamei Group, giving it a decent scale. But how could that compare to the bright future of staying by Zheng Qian's side?

Failing to spring her trap, Zhong Xiaoyao had flown into a rage and started cursing.

Qin Xueli had kept this matter firmly in mind.

Now that she had seized the opportunity, she was going to mock her thoroughly.

Qin Xueli believed that this matter had nothing to do with her. Xu Shuyun's presence didn't affect her pursuit of Zheng Qian in the slightest.

As long as Xu Shuyun hadn't married Zheng Qian, she still had a chance.

Unlike Zhong Xiaoyao, who couldn't control her emotions just from seeing the two of them hold hands.

So unsophisticated and petty.

"Are you calling me a bitch?" Zhong Xiaoyao flew into a rage again. Qin Xueli's words just now were clearly insinuating that she was a whore.

"I didn't say that. I just told you not to set up a chastity arch. You said it yourself, it has nothing to do with me," Qin Xueli shrugged, a smile she couldn't hide plastered across her face.

"Can't you two just eat in peace? Is there no end to your bickering?" Xia Xixi said, a bit annoyed, as she stepped in to break up the fight.

Zhong Xiaoyao let out a cold snort and finally shut up.

Although she was extremely displeased that Zheng Qian had been snatched away by Xu Shuyun, a latecomer, one thing gave her immense satisfaction.

And that was that Xia Xixi hadn't been able to sit at the same table as Zheng Qian either. Wasn't she sitting at the same table as them?

At least this proved from another angle that Xia Xixi had no real relationship with Zheng Qian. Even if she did, it was an underground one that could never be brought to light.

She wasn't any better off than them!

As the celebration banquet neared its end, Zheng Qian stepped out midway to take a phone call. It was from Jin Lu.

"Qian, are you busy?"

"What's wrong, honey?"

"Did you get so busy that you forgot? My dad is getting released from prison this afternoon. Didn't we agree to go pick him up together?"

Jin Lu's father was being released from prison?

Zheng Qian had almost forgotten about this. Jin Lu had been nagging him about it for the past few days, and they had discussed it for a long time.

"I forgot, I totally forgot. I'll head over in a bit."

Zheng Qian quickly agreed and made plans with Jin Lu to meet at Derun Mansion at three in the afternoon, and then go together to pick up his father-in-law.

"Shuyun, I have some urgent matters to attend to this afternoon, so I won't be able to keep you company," Zheng Qian said, canceling his shopping date with Xu Shuyun.

"Okay, it's fine. We can do it when you're not busy."

Xu Shuyun nodded very obediently.

Zheng Qian was now the boss of several companies, and he had far more things to deal with daily than she did.

Normally, when Xu Shuyun got busy, she was just like this too, so she understood completely.

After the celebration banquet ended, Zheng Qian first sent a trusted driver to escort Xu Shuyun out of Jinxiu Group.

Before Zheng Qian could leave, just as he walked out of Wangyue Pavilion, he ran straight into Huo Muyan.

Huo Muyan was wearing a white floral dress today, looking quite pure and innocent, but it couldn't hide her anger.

"Well, well, Zheng Qian! You don't pick up my calls, and you don't reply to my messages. Are you trying to back out on your debt?"
