Chapter 1 Failure to work
There is nothing new under the sun, and this statement is indeed true.
What was a buzzing topic one day may be replaced by a new hot event the next. And the character who occupied countless headlines the day before will not be forgotten by the public for a long time, and even mentioning this name again will have a feeling of being in a different world.
This is the information age, and this is the power of the media.
When she woke up, it took Ran Xixi a few seconds to realize where she was, she was uncomfortable for a moment, but as soon as she saw Zhan Ruijue beside her, she suddenly felt at ease again.
For her now, where her son is, where is a good place, it can be regarded as home.
She quietly got up and went to the kitchen to get water to drink, the fridge had everything it needed, it was well prepared, and there were even several imported beers and milk, fresh on dates. It can be seen that although Zhan Xingchuan hardly comes to live here, he always achieves the level of satisfaction that can satisfy him here, which is better than that of high-end hotels.
That's why he was relieved to let their mother and son come over.
Zhan Ruijue was still sleeping, and Ran Xixi didn't make much movement, so he simply sat on the sofa and surfed the Internet and browsed the news.
She naturally also saw the ostentatious press release issued by Xinhong Real Estate, as one of the people who knew the ins and outs of the "" project very well, Ran Xixi could read from it Yu Youwei's let go, and she knew that the situation seemed to be more serious.
Combined with the previous forced demolition incident, coupled with this press release, Ran Xixi couldn't help but feel a little worried about the joint efforts of Liu Wu and Yu Youwei - Yu Youwei thought that she had hugged the thigh of the Liu brothers and sought benefits for herself through cooperation, but in fact, with the greed and ferocity of the two brothers, once they set their sights on the fat of the Zhan clan, they would definitely use Xinhong Real Estate as a springboard in the middle, continue to embezzle the Zhan clan, and use small fish to catch big fish.
Such a simple truth, presumably she will not fail to understand.
She understood that she had to continue to do it, and there was only one possibility, that is, she didn't care about the life or death of the Zhan clan at all.
For Yu Youwei, as long as the part of the money that belongs to her does not evaporate, even if the entire Zhan clan falls apart and Zhan Xingchuan declares bankruptcy, it has nothing to do with her.
Presumably, Liu Wu also promised her that he would leave her that share, so Yu Youwei did not hesitate to cooperate with this kind of person. On the other hand, in fact, she didn't pay anything, she just took the Zhan clan's money to bring down the Zhan clan, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, everything was an empty glove white wolf.
At this point, Ran Xixi couldn't help but sweat for Zhan Xingchuan.
It's not that she doesn't believe in his abilities, it's just that when internal and external troubles hit together, the Zhan clan will face unprecedented challenges. And he is also under the most pressure in the past decade.
Thinking of this, Ran Xixi was even more curious about how Zhan Xingchuan was able to overcome public opinion and drive Zhan Liyang out of the Zhan clan in one go, and when there were still many elders in the Zhan family, he, the junior, would personally sit in this position.
These two points are enough to make his career legendary.
When it was nearly one o'clock, Zhan Xingchuan actually came as promised, and before he left last night, he told her that he would come today.
Ran Xixi was having lunch with Zhan Ruijue, and when she saw him, she put down her chopsticks and was very surprised: "You are so busy today, why do you still have time to come?"
The man who was taking off his coat also raised his eyebrows: "How do you know I'm busy?"
She had no choice but to answer honestly: "I've seen that press release on the Internet, and I know you're going to be angry and ready to start working on it." Of course, it's not an easy thing to do, and it may involve a lot, isn't it tricky?"
Zhan Xingchuan washed his hands, then sat down at the table as well, and replied in the most relaxed tone possible: "It's true to be angry, and it's not tricky. Cold treatment is the best way, as long as you don't come forward to clarify, it won't take twenty-four hours for this matter to pass. But if I or the official speak, the situation may be more complicated, and that is what the other side is happy to see. β
Ran Xixi really admires his composure, if he encounters it, he may be so angry that he smashes the computer in the office.
"When I smash the computer in anger, others can't see it, that's the difference between me and you, not because I'm particularly calm. β
He smiled, a sly expression.
"Dad, I want to go downstairs to play, there is a swimming pool. β
Zhan Ruijue, who had been eating quietly, suddenly said out loud, Zhan Xingchuan had brought him here before, and he especially liked the big pool downstairs, and there was a water slide next to it, so you could have a good time.
"Okay, take a break after eating, and I'll go with you. However, as a condition, you have to eat all the rest of the rice. β
Zhan Xingchuan agreed without thinking, and at the same time pointed to the small bowl in front of Zhan Ruijue, the little bit of rice left, knowing that with his amount of rice, he could definitely eat it.
Children under the age of four have gradually begun to deliberately leave a little bit of each meal, or they may have seen other children do this in kindergarten, so they follow suit.
"When will Meow Meow come back? I ate, did Meow Meow come back?"
Zhan Ruijue continued to mention the conditions, the puppy was stored at the resort by Zhan Xingchuan last night, and it has not been sent back to the city for the time being, and the little guy has been chattering, lest he lose this new little friend.
Reluctantly picked up his mobile phone, Zhan Xingchuan immediately called the housekeeper of the cabin and asked him to send the puppy as soon as possible.
"Yay!"
Zhan Ruijue immediately regained his grip on his chopsticks and concentrated on eating.
"If you do this, what if he makes conditions to me every day? Won't I be miserable by you......
Ran Xixi shook his head helplessly, feeling that under the connivance of Zhan Xingchuan, Zhan Ruijue had not become a little overlord, but was a little introverted and shy, which was really a miracle.
"No, it won't. β
Zhan Xingchuan was very determined, and then quickly took a few bites of food to fill his stomach.
After lunch, the father and son went swimming, Ran Xixi was not very interested in all water-related sports, and did not want to be tanned, so he shrunk into the room to sleep.
"Mom always sleeps, and she is going to become a sleeping beauty. β
Zhan Ruijue couldn't help but think of the fairy tales he had read before, he tugged Zhan Xingchuan's hand, and whispered, "Mom needs your kiss to wake up." β
Zhan Xingchuan put on his swimming goggles and looked quite cold: "Yes, it's almost the same as waking up and hitting me." β
An hour later, he sent Zhan Ruijue up, Ran Xixi hadn't woken up yet, when she heard the voice, she asked twice in a daze, and heard Zhan Xingchuan say: "I'll go downstairs to meet a customer, you help Rui Rui take a shower." β
After that, he went to take a shower and change his clothes.
When he left, Ran Xixi came to his senses completely, what kind of customer did Zhan Xingchuan see here? It was obvious that he was looking for an excuse to slip away, but she didn't expect him to stay here, it was better to go.
In fact, Zhan Xingchuan did receive a phone call just now, and he refused to meet because he was afraid that the other party would change his mind temporarily, so he immediately reported his location so that he could meet as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the "even" itself is a private high-end club, which can provide any business-related services, Zhan Xingchuan informed the manager to help him reserve a private room in the tea room downstairs.
Forty minutes later, the person he was waiting for finally arrived here and was taken directly into the private room by the waiter.
"Nice environment. I heard, it's yours?"
After taking her seat, Jo Rachel looked around and asked lazily. Then, she took out her cigarette and lighter, waved it twice in front of Zhan Xingchuan, and asked casually, "Don't you care, do you?"
He made a gesture of pity, then watched as she skilfully lit a cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring.
Rachel Joe took two puffs and narrowed her eyes: "I know, you think I don't have credibility and didn't do what I promised you." It's been so long, and I haven't seen a single hair of the Agnère family, so it's normal for me to show my face in public, since you broke the contract, right?"
According to the previous agreement between her and Zhan Xingchuan, he was responsible for helping to introduce Qiao Yanne to Locke, that is, a member of the Agnel family, in order to get a large investment.
"Breach of contract? You're in too much of a hurry. This kind of thing also needs a proper timing, and it would be counterproductive to say it rashly, do you think it's as simple as introducing a friend to you at a party?"
Zhan Xingchuan was still calm, and asked her rhetorically.
He admitted that he really didn't contribute to this matter, and since he promised Joe Rachel, Zhan Xingchuan basically didn't have any special contact with Locke. Locke is a very reliable partner, as long as the plan is approved and the funds are in place, the rest of the work will be handed over to the responsible department, and there is no need for two people to personally intervene.
Therefore, Zhan Xingchuan usually doesn't have much contact with him, he didn't take the initiative to call Locke specifically for Qiao Yanne's matter, and he also had the idea of delaying it if he could. Subconsciously, he felt that after all, she was a biological sister, and this woman would not really want to force Ran Xixi to death, and the woman was soft-hearted, and she would still miss some flesh and blood affection.
Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of Joe Rachel. She is far more vicious than ordinary men, which makes Zhan Xingchuan sigh to himself, he is just letting his parents leave Zhonghai, and what she wants is very likely to make her sister disappear from this world completely!
"It's not simple, you know it. However, you shouldn't be able to take care of me recently, Lu Qinghuan is biting tightly, and with the assistance of the NG Group, and the fire in the backyard of your own company, Yu Youwei alone is enough for you to be busy, think about it, it's really pitiful to meet someone who is not ladylike. You almost took the lives of my sister and nephew for this woman, but I saw it with my own eyes. β
Rachel Joe said in a sarcastic tone as she swallowed the clouds.
