125: A person's true character is revealed in times of crisis. Gao Ze is always worthy of your trust.
"Ding, ding, ding!!"
Jiang Qianyu took a deep breath, still picked up her phone, and dialed Gao Ze's number.
Would he answer?
If he answered, would he help her?
Or would he refuse her?
A series of questions flashed quickly through Jiang Qianyu's mind, making her feel uneasy listening to the phone ringtone.
"Hello, Jiang Qianyu?"
Finally, after not too long, Gao Ze's unique voice came from the other end of the phone after he answered.
"I am Jiang Qianyu!"
After saying that, Jiang Qianyu regretted it. She was usually such an eloquent girl, how could she say something so foolish at this moment?
"Is there something you need?"
Gao Ze knew that Jiang Qianyu calling at this time likely meant she wanted his help to resolve the internal share conflict within Jiangs Jia Hua Group.
"I..."
The words caught in Jiang Qianyu's throat, and the doubts in her mind resurfaced.
Would Gao Ze help her?
Or would he refuse?
"What's wrong?"
"I've run into a thorny problem!"
Jiang Qianyu squatted down, forcing her blood flow to slow down, trying her best to calm herself:
"This problem comes from within our Jiangs Jia Hua Group.
My elder brother, Jiang Ruiming, has gained the support of many shareholders in the company and wants to dismiss my father, Jiang Wenhao, from his position as chairman.
If my father is dismissed as chairman and my elder brother, Jiang Ruiming, takes over, I will face a purge within the company, and there will be no place for me in Jiahua Group!"
"The situation is critical now; the shares held by my elder brother and his allied shareholders have already exceeded those of my father and his faction!"
Gao Ze listened quietly and said indifferently, "So you called me!"
"I can't think of anyone who would help me, except you!"
A misty film gathered in Jiang Qianyu's eyes, and she bit her lip, saying, "So I want to ask you for help. If you refuse..."
"I can help you!"
Before Jiang Qianyu could finish speaking, Gao Ze gave his response.
The reason for helping Jiang Qianyu was simple.
Firstly, Jiang Qianyu had helped him before, using her personal connections to invite the Shengyou Company CEO to intervene and halt their game investment project with Liu Jingming's studio.
Furthermore, helping Jiang Qianyu would also broaden his personal influence and power.
Because if Jiang Qianyu gained power within a large company like Jiang's Jia Hua, with a market value of seventy to eighty billion, or even ascended to the chairman position, she could perfectly serve as his arm to influence Donghai City's business world.
Moreover, after he slapped Jiang Qianyu, she developed a sense of awe towards him, making her very suitable to be developed into the second member of the Holy Light Society.
"Ah... you agreed so quickly, aren't you going to think about it?"
All of Jiang Qianyu's prepared words instantly turned into surprise, and at the same time, tears silently streamed down her face.
It was just as she had thought; Gao Ze did not refuse at all. Only he was willing to extend a helping hand to her in such a desperate situation.
Gao Ze shook his head and said, "No need to consider!"
"Gao Ze, I knew only you would help me without hesitation, I knew..."
Jiang Qianyu burst into tears, finally unable to control herself.
After Jiang Qianyu's emotions calmed down, Gao Ze shook his head and chuckled, "Why would only I help you? Wouldn't Qing Yan, your best friend of over a decade, help you?"
"And didn't you build your own circle of wealthy friends? Wouldn't they help you?"
"Those wealthy friends of mine, they only add icing to the cake; no one would offer help in times of need.
Especially when I lose hope of inheritance and influence within Jiangs Jia Hua Group, they might not even bother to add icing to the cake. It would be good enough if they don't scheme against me."
Jiang Qianyu sniffled and said, "As for Qing Yan, as a best friend, I understand her too well."
"Although out of our relationship, she would emotionally be willing to help me, she is too detached and rational. As soon as she clearly thinks through that my chances of winning within Jiangs Jia Hua Group are less than twenty percent, or that her intervention wouldn't affect the outcome, she wouldn't make a move to help me!"
"I'm not you; I can't make her lose her rationality!"
"But do you think I can help you?"
Gao Ze asked curiously, "Even if Qing Yan put all her strength into it, she couldn't influence your Jiangs Jia Hua Group's equity dispute!"
Jiang Qianyu nodded, stating with certainty, "Yes!"
"Why?" Gao Ze was puzzled. Although he did have the ability to help Jiang Qianyu resolve the crisis, no one knew he possessed system intelligence!
"Because I can't see through Mr. Gao!"
Jiang Qianyu sighed, "Firstly, there's Qing Yan. The Qing Yan in my impression has always been a snow lotus on a perpetual ice mountain, always looking down on the world, never bowing her head. Yet you can make Qing Yan make a firm choice, disregarding family pressure and the disparity in your identities."
"Secondly, I once underestimated Mr. Gao, thinking I could easily control you.
But Mr. Gao, your slap woke me up, and you even grasped my deepest secret. I truly can't imagine how you knew."
"Thirdly, anyone who learns about Mr. Gao's past solved cases will be shocked!"
"From Sun Haizhu's case, from Mu Yu Rou's case... from the Huangpu District massacre, then the serial teenage girl murder cases, and now the Xingsheng Bank robbery incident."
"I originally thought Mr. Gao was just slightly more capable, but your step-by-step actions and case after case have exceeded my imagination.
The billionaire Zheng Jiasheng fell into your hands, the Donghai City teenage nightmare fell into your hands, even a life-or-death situation like a bank robbery was solved by you, Mr. Gao, and achieved great success. I truly don't know where your limit is.
And you also possess a decisive, iron-blooded aura that neither I nor Qing Yan have!"
Gao Ze laughed, "Such business flattery is making me swell with pride!"
"Mr. Gao, this isn't flattery; it's my heartfelt thought. I..."
"No need to say more. Let's meet somewhere this afternoon, and you can tell me about your Jiangs Jia Hua Group's internal equity dispute."
Gao Ze thought of Lili and said, "Let's meet at your bar in Jinghai District!"
Jiang Qianyu agreed, and Gao Ze ended the call.
"Mr. Gao, what are you going to do this afternoon? Aren't you going to the hospital anymore?"
Lu Ling eagerly said, "You seem to be involved in a big event. Can you take me along so I can gain some experience?"
"It's only a little past 3 o'clock; it's still early, so I'm not going to the hospital anymore."
Gao Ze politely declined, "This time it's my private matter; I can't bring Doctor Lu!"
"Alright!"
Lu Ling showed regret but didn't insist, "Then can you tell me who the murderer of Yu Meichan is?"
"Why wasn't it Chen Zhending? If not him, was it his son, Chen Xu?"
"Also, Mr. Gao, what exactly did you make me look at online? Why aren't you afraid of Captain Han? Does Captain Han speak to you on equal terms?"
