Chapter 99: Achieved His Goal?
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheng Gang said, “Xing Shu, has Xingyang talked to you about work recently?” He was reminding Xing Shu that she had usurped the position from Cheng Xingyang and would return it sooner or later.
Xing Shu looked at Cheng Gang with mirth. “Uncle Cheng, you should know your own son’s temperament better than an outsider like me.” Cheng Xingyang was not cut out for business at all. Previously, he was able to become a director because Cheng Gang took advantage of Cheng Lang’s absence in the country to promote him. Now that Cheng Lang had returned and started to clean up the company, Cheng Xingyang was kicked out.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Cheng Gang took a few steps forward and threatened in a low voice, “Xing Shu, as long as you’re still in the city, you won’t be able to escape from me. You’d do well to be sensible.”
The smile on Xing Shu’s lips froze. Cheng Gang thought that she was afraid and withdrew his gaze in satisfaction. “I know how much you like Xingyang. You have always put Xingyang’s welfare at heart. As long as you’re obedient, I’ll get Xingyang to treat you well. He’s still young now. It’s normal for him to be unsettled yet.” He was just short of telling Xing Shu that he would let Cheng Xingyang marry her after he was done fooling around. However, the premise was that Xing Shu must be of value to them.
Xing Shu was so disgusted that she almost vomited. However, she could not fight Cheng Gang head-on now. If Cheng Gang was determined to mess with her, she was powerless to resist. Seeing that Xing Shu did not speak, Cheng
Gang thought that he had achieved his goal. He took the opportunity to say, “Can you get Cheng Lang to agree to this project?” After all, Xing Shu seemed to be in Cheng Lang’s good books now.
Xing Shu’s eyes turned sharp. “I’ll try my best.”
Satisfied with this answer, Cheng Gang left the conference room. After he left, Xing Shu knocked on the table with her finger. Ask Cheng Lang to agree to invest in Alpha Corporation? Cheng Gang had underestimated Cheng Lang. Although the data Cheng Gang produced today looked good, it could not withstand further investigation. That company was profitable on the surface, but the liquidity was too low.
Xing Shu walked out of the conference room and returned to her office. She thought for a long time before sending a full stop to Cheng Lang’s email. It was not until after office hours that Cheng Lang replied—a question mark.
Xing Shu—who had been feeling low the entire day—suddenly felt better. She typed: “Young Uncle will be on the business trip for how many days?”
Cheng Lang did not reply. Xing Shu worked overtime at the company until 9
p.m.. She emailed him the data on Alpha Corporation that she had sorted out.
When she returned home and turned on her computer, Cheng Lang had replied. This time, there were two question marks. Xing Shu felt like laughing for some reason—Cheng Lang probably had never communicated with anyone like this in his life.
Xing Shu: “Cheng Gang wants to invest two billion yuan in Alpha Corporation. He asked me to convince you. Young Uncle, do you think Cheng Gang overestimated me or underestimated you?”
“No deal.” This time, Cheng Lang’s reply was very fast and concise.
Xing Shu licked her lips and could not help but send a message: “It seems that
I’m still not there yet. I failed to befuddle Young Uncle’s mind with lust.” Xing Shu’s palms were covered in sweat after sending this email. This sentence was a blatant flirtation. Her heart was sour and sweet, terrified and expectant, but Cheng Lang did not reply. It was not until midnight when Xing Shu had finished her work—took a shower—and was about to turn off her computer and go to bed that she realized that there was a new email. It was from Cheng Lang. The content was a phone number.
This should be Cheng Lang’s private contact number.
Xing Shu saved this number and looked at the time. Then, she sent a message: “Is Young Uncle away for a long time? Otherwise, Cheng Gang wouldn’t have dared to return to the company.”
After all, Cheng Gang had just been dismissed and yet returned openly. He must have figured out that Cheng Lang would not be back for a while. Cheng Lang looked at the documents piled up beside him and his cell phone vibrated. There were a few middle-aged men in suits sitting opposite him, communicating with Jin Yue in English. Jin Yue had a confident smile on her face as she answered the questions and observed Cheng Lang. After the few of them had left, she stood up and poured a cup of coffee for Cheng Lang. “I didn’t expect you to invest in my mentor’s student. Cheng Lang, are you doing this because of me?” Her mentor was a big shot in the industry. Since Cheng Lang wanted to invest in her mentor’s student, she would naturally be the middleman. The item she said she wanted to give Cheng Lang the last time was a software developed by that student in school. She had mentioned it once during her previous trip back to China. Cheng Lang was interested in it, so the student asked her to send the information to Cheng Lang..
