Chapter 117: Ye Zhuzhu has an appointment

~9 min read 1,605 words

In the living room, only Qin Ze, Shen Jingshu, and Shen Zhihong remained.

Shen Jingshu looked at her father, then at Qin Ze, and then spoke to break the silence:

"Dad, there's something I want to tell you."

Shen Zhihong leaned on the sofa, holding his teacup:

"What is it?"

"That Liu Bin, you know him; he's narrow-minded and vengeful."

"After the divorce, he found out that Qin Ze and I were together, so he's been looking for trouble with Qin Ze."

"You also know that Qin Ze started from scratch, relying entirely on his own ability, and has no backing behind him..."

Shen Zhihong put down his teacup, his brow furrowing slightly:

"What's going on?"

Shen Jingshu told him about what happened over the past two days.

How her company was being investigated, how the apartment was being investigated, how the registered company was being blocked...

The more Shen Zhihong listened, the darker his expression became.

After all, he had been the number one of Xicheng District for so many years; he knew immediately that someone was playing dirty behind the scenes.

"When Liu Bin wanted to climb up back then, he ran to me so many times, but I didn't pay him any mind."

"Now he's grown some ability and learned how to give others a hard time."

He put down his teacup and stood up:

"Wait here, I'll make a call."

He walked into the study, picked up the landline, and dialed a number.

The call went through.

Shen Zhihong's tone was very calm, but his words carried an unquestionable weight:

"Hello, Little Wang, it's Old Shen."

A respectful voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end:

"Old Leader, what are your instructions?"

Shen Zhihong said:

"In our Jiangcheng, there is an excellent young entrepreneur named Qin Ze."

"His business has recently been instigated by some villains, various obstacles are being set, investigating here and blocking there, making it so the person can't even do business."

"Check the departments below and see who exactly is doing this."

"Of course, you're just investigating; there's no need to handle anything, just take a look!"

"I'm calling today mainly to invite you to a meal..."

The other end was silent for two seconds, then said:

"Old Leader, I understand, I'll have people check immediately."

"After checking clearly, I'll call you back."

"Hmm, good."

Shen Zhihong hung up the phone and walked out of the study.

Qin Ze and Shen Jingshu were both looking at him.

Shen Zhihong walked back to the sofa and sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip:

"Alright, I've greeted the number two in the city; he was my subordinate when I was there."

"He promised to check; he'll give me an answer before tonight."

Upon hearing this, the big stone hanging in Qin Ze's heart finally fell.

At noon, He Lanfang cooked a table full of good dishes.

Qin Ze accompanied Shen Zhihong to drink a few cups of Moutai.

After three rounds of drinks, Shen Zhihong's words gradually increased.

He asked Qin Ze some things about investment and business, and Qin Ze answered one by one.

However, Qin Ze realized that half of what Shen Zhihong asked was probing!

If he hadn't truly studied so much professional investment knowledge before.

He would have been stuck right there!

After the meal, Qin Ze and Shen Jingshu said goodbye and left.

He Lanfang saw them all the way to the door, holding Shen Jingshu's hand, and whispered a few words of advice.

Then she looked at Qin Ze and said with a smile:

"Little Qin, come to eat at home often."

Qin Ze nodded with a smile:

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely come often."

The two went downstairs and got into the car.

Qin Ze started the car, and just as he was about to drive out of the residential area, his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was an unfamiliar number.

But Shen Jingshu recognized this number; it was Liu Bin's number.

Qin Ze sneered and answered it.

"Hello."

Liu Bin's arrogant voice came from the other end:

"Qin Ze, how is it? It hasn't been easy these past few days, right?"

"I'm just asking you, is it uncomfortable?"

"How does it feel to have your company investigated every day?"

Qin Ze gripped the steering wheel, and the smile on his face turned cold.

Liu Bin continued to be sarcastic on the phone:

"Do you really think that with a little bit of money and by pulling in that idiot Brother Hu, you can deal with me?"

"I'm telling you, in this one-acre-three-cents of land in Jiangcheng, what kind of thing are you, Qin Ze?"

"Crushing you is as simple as crushing an ant! Do you really think that when I bowed my head to you and divorced Shen Jingshu, I was admitting defeat?"

"If you still want to survive in Jiangcheng, obediently send that bitch Shen Jingshu over to me!"

"And then come to my company personally and kneel down to apologize to me!"

"Otherwise, I'll make it so you can't stay in Jiangcheng for even a day!"

After listening, Qin Ze didn't show anger; instead, a sneer appeared on his face.

He held the phone and said calmly:

"Liu Bin, I'll give you three days too."

"Within three days, if you don't come over to apologize to me, your end will be very miserable."

The other end was silent for two seconds, then Liu Bin's disdainful laughter came:

"Who the hell are you trying to scare?"

"Fine, I'll wait and see what you can do to me!"

Qin Ze didn't speak again and hung up the phone directly.

The sun rises and the moon sets!

The next afternoon, Guanghui Group Headquarters Building.

President's Office.

Ye Zhuzhu sat in front of the desk with a laptop in front of her.

The screen displayed the real-time stock price of Guangtong Energy.

She held a coffee cup, glancing at the screen from time to time.

Secretary Xiao Liu stood to the side, also watching the screen.

"President Ye, Guangtong Energy rose again today."

Xiao Liu's voice carried a hint of incredulity:

"It hit the daily limit again... it's the third day..."

Ye Zhuzhu didn't speak, but her fingers were tapping faster and faster on the desk.

Three days.

Three consecutive days of hitting the daily limit.

The first day, she still felt Qin Ze was a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

The second day, she began to have some doubts.

By today, the third day...

In Ye Zhuzhu's heart, only the word "shock" remained.

She put down her coffee cup, looked at the daily limit locked on the screen, and the sentence Qin Ze said at the dinner table replayed in her mind repeatedly:

"Guangtong Energy, for the next week, it will hit the daily limit continuously."

A week!

She thought he was bragging at the time.

But now, three days had passed, and it had really hit the daily limit continuously!

If it continues to hit the daily limit tomorrow, that would be four days!

The day after tomorrow would be five days!

Could this person's prediction... really be all correct?

Ye Zhuzhu took a deep breath, a strong sense of regret welling up in her heart.

If she had listened to Qin Ze on the first day and bought Guangtong Energy.

Then by now, she would have made at least dozens of points!

She closed her eyes and calculated quickly in her mind.

If she had bought three million...

In less than three days, she could have made nearly a million!

But because of her hesitation, she missed out on these three whole days of profit!

The more Ye Zhuzhu thought about it, the more she regretted it; her intestines were almost turning green with regret.

She opened her eyes abruptly and looked at Xiao Liu:

"Xiao Liu, can we still buy it?"

Xiao Liu was stunned:

"President Ye, it's already hit the daily limit today; we can't buy in."

"We can only buy when the market opens tomorrow."

Ye Zhuzhu glanced at the time: 2:50 PM, ten minutes until the market closed.

It couldn't be bought today.

She gritted her teeth:

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the market opens, buy me three million of Guangtong Energy immediately!"

Xiao Liu opened her mouth, wanting to advise against it, but seeing Ye Zhuzhu's firm expression, she swallowed her words.

"Okay, President Ye, I'll arrange it first thing tomorrow morning."

Ye Zhuzhu leaned back in her chair, the restless emotion in her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

She suddenly thought of something, picked up her phone, and flipped to Qin Ze's number.

She hesitated for a few seconds before dialing.

The phone rang a few times and was answered.

"Hello, President Ye?"

Qin Ze's voice came from the other end, carrying a hint of surprised amusement.

Ye Zhuzhu tried to make her tone sound calm:

"President Qin, are you free tonight? I'd like to meet with you."

Qin Ze laughed on the other end:

"Why? Does President Ye have something urgent?"

Ye Zhuzhu was silent for two seconds, then said:

"I'd like to treat you to a meal and chat in person."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze understood immediately.

Ye Zhuzhu had taken the bait.

He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said leisurely:

"Sure, let's do it at the Fusheng Hotel; just come directly."

Ye Zhuzhu paused on the other end, then said:

"Okay, I'll be there at seven tonight." ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
