Chapter 26: I Give You a Chance? Why?

Before Jiang Wan could speak, the secretary on the side opened his mouth.

"Ms. Jiang, don't be so stubborn."

The secretary pushed his glasses, his tone peaceful but carrying a condescending flavor.

"In this society, it's a society of money. Everyone comes out into society to sell something; it's just that what everyone sells is different."

Qin Ze frowned when he heard this.

The secretary continued:

"You have to be realistic. Your business failed; is that all Gou Xinzhong's fault?"

"Even without President Gou, you would be tricked by others. This society is like this, the weak are the prey of the strong."

"And in your current situation, the only one willing to help you is President Gou."

The secretary looked at Jiang Wan, his eyes meaningful.

"In a person's life, there are only one or two chances to turn things around. If you miss them, you really miss them."

Gou Xinzhong took over the conversation:

"Jiang Wan, all I need you to do is show your stance tonight. Are you going to follow me or not?"

"As long as you nod, I'll register a new company for you tomorrow, I'll provide the funds, and you'll be the general manager."

"With your ability, plus my resources, you'll be able to stand back up in less than a year!"

The two sang in harmony, one tempting with profit, the other "advising," cooperating seamlessly.

Jiang Wan was so angry her face turned pale.

She was about to speak when Qin Ze suddenly opened his mouth:

"Are you done?"

The private room fell silent instantly.

Gou Xinzhong and Liu Bin both looked at Qin Ze.

Qin Ze leaned back in his chair, his expression very calm:

"If you're done, let me say a few words."

He looked at Gou Xinzhong:

"Jiang Wan is my person now, so if you have anything to say, you can say it to me now."

"And I feel very uncomfortable listening to what you just said."

Gou Xinzhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

He laughed very loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world:

"You? What are you?"

"Is there any room for you to speak here?"

Liu Bin also sneered:

"Young man, weigh yourself before you speak."

"You're sitting in this private room now, it's already because my President Gou is giving you face; don't be ungrateful!"

Gou Xinzhong pointed at Qin Ze, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt:

"Jiang Wan, you're also a decent woman? How could you find such a straw-bag man?"

Secretary Liu also laughed:

"Ms. Jiang, your eye for men needs improvement."

Jiang Wan bit her lip and suddenly said:

"Gou Xinzhong, that's enough!"

"I didn't agree when you threatened me before, and it's even more impossible now!"

"And you have even less qualification to talk about my Senior Brother."

Jiang Wan sneered.

"He really isn't the ordinary person you talk about; he has his own company and business in Jiangcheng!"

Hearing this, Gou Xinzhong sneered.

"Company? What company?"

"A shell company? Or a small workshop with a registered capital of 100,000?"

He looked at Qin Ze:

"Kid, where is your company? What do you do? Let's hear it."

Qin Ze didn't speak.

Gou Xinzhong thought Qin Ze was guilty, laughing even more triumphantly.

"Can't say it, right? Jiang Wan, look, this is the man you found!"

"Jiang Wan, you really disappointed me. I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a silly woman who only looks at faces."

"Do you believe it, just this Senior Brother of yours, as long as I say one word, his company will go yellow, and even he will have to tuck his tail and leave Jiangcheng!"

Just at this moment! Qin Ze's phone rang!

Qin Ze didn't even have to think to know this was Zhang Kai calling!

Qin Ze took out his phone and glanced at Gou Xinzhong.

"I hope you can still maintain such unruliness later."

Qin Ze smiled slightly, then answered the phone.

"Hello?"

Zhang Kai's voice came from the other end:

"President Qin, I'm here."

"Tingtao Pavilion private room, come in directly."

Qin Ze hung up the phone.

Gou Xinzhong and the secretary looked at each other, both feeling inexplicable.

"Playing tricks." Gou Xinzhong sneered.

Just as the words fell, the private room door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in, wearing a decent suit, holding a briefcase.

As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Qin Ze, and then he walked over quickly.

"President Qin, I'm sorry, there was a bit of traffic, I'm late!"

The person who came was Zhang Kai.

Qin Ze waved his hand:

"It's fine, you came just in time."

Zhang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the others in the private room.

When he saw Gou Xinzhong and the secretary, he was stunned for a moment.

"President Gou? Secretary Liu? Why are you here?"

Gou Xinzhong and Secretary Liu were also stunned.

"Supervisor Zhang?" Gou Xinzhong stood up, looking surprised, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Kai was the supervisor of Qingfeng Holding, and Qingfeng Holding was the controlling shareholder of Zhengfeng Logistics.

In other words, Zhang Kai was the leader of Gou Xinzhong's superior unit.

So Gou Xinzhong's attitude toward Zhang Kai was very respectful.

Zhang Kai looked at Gou Xinzhong, then at Qin Ze, feeling a bit confused.

"I'm here to see President Qin, but President Gou, what are you guys...?"

Gou Xinzhong was even more confused:

"See President Qin? Which President Qin?"

Zhang Kai pointed at Qin Ze:

"This is President Qin, our new boss of Qingfeng Holding."

The private room fell silent instantly.

Gou Xinzhong and Secretary Liu's expressions froze, their eyes wide.

Jiang Wan was also stunned, looking at Qin Ze, then at Zhang Kai, then at Gou Xinzhong, her brain unable to turn for a moment.

President Qin?

The new boss of Qingfeng Holding?

"Supervisor Zhang, you... you didn't make a mistake, did you? You call this young man President Qin?"

Zhang Kai frowned:

"Of course, President Qin is now our new boss of Qingfeng Holding Group, if I don't call him President Qin, what should I call him?"

"New boss?"

Gou Xinzhong's eyes widened.

"Supervisor Zhang, where is President Qian of your company?"

"President Qian is old news."

"Just today, our company was acquired by President Qin at a price exceeding the original valuation."

He paused, looking at Gou Xinzhong:

"So, not only do I have to call him President Qin, don't you, President Gou, also have to call him President Qin?"

Jiang Wan understood now.

She covered her mouth, looking at Zhang Kai, who was standing respectfully beside Qin Ze, then at Gou Xinzhong and Liu Bin, who looked like dead ashes, and then at Qin Ze, who looked indifferent beside her.

The information in her brain connected rapidly:

Qingfeng Holding Group, holding 51% of Zhengfeng Logistics shares.

Now it was acquired by Qin Ze, so Qin Ze was now the Chairman of Qingfeng.

So Qin Ze was also the actual controller of Zhengfeng Logistics!

In other words, her Senior Brother, in order to help her solve the trouble.

Directly acquired the actual controlling company behind Gou Xinzhong?

At this moment, Jiang Wan's heart was beating wildly, and an indescribable warmth and shock filled her whole body.

She realized! Her Senior Brother seemed to be much richer than she imagined!

And on the other side.

Gou Xinzhong's face turned white instantly.

Secretary Liu's face also turned white.

The two stood there, as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.

Qin Ze looked at their expressions and laughed.

Gou Xinzhong came back to his senses, and fine sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Secretary Liu reacted a bit faster, hurriedly standing up and squeezing out a smile:

"President, President Qin, it was all a misunderstanding just now, all a misunderstanding."

"We didn't know your identity, this was really a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple..."

Gou Xinzhong was also on pins and needles, hurriedly saying:

"President Qin, it was my eyes that failed to recognize Mount Tai! You

Watching this scene, Zhang Kai is completely confused.

From the moment he entered until now, he has been bewildered, so he helplessly asks Qin Ze.

"President Qin, has this President Gou offended you?"

Qin Ze then briefly mentions what just happened.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kai understands instantly.

He immediately turns a stern face toward Gou Xinzhong.

"President Gou, you must have a conscience in how you conduct yourself. Our Qingfeng Group has withdrawn holdings from so many companies, yet even during the most difficult times, we never withdrew yours."

"When your group was short on cash, we kept providing blood transfusions."

"You've been losing money for three years, and we haven't said a word."

He pauses, his tone becoming heavier:

"What is the meaning of this today? Do you not want to keep working in this circle?"

Gou Xinzhong's legs go weak.

He hurriedly picks up the wine bottle on the table, pours a glass, and holds it with both hands to offer it to Qin Ze:

Qin Ze does not take it, but looks at Jiang Wan instead.

"Where is the IOU?"

Gou Xinzhong reacts immediately, hurriedly taking a piece of paper out of his briefcase and handing it to Jiang Wan with both hands.

"Miss Jiang, this is the IOU, please keep it safe."

Jiang Wan takes the IOU, checks it carefully, and after confirming it is correct, nods at Qin Ze.

Only then does Qin Ze take the wine glass from Gou Xinzhong's hand, but he doesn't drink it, simply placing it on the table.

"Zhang Kai." He looks at Zhang Kai.

"President Qin, please speak." Zhang Kai says immediately and respectfully.

"How has Zhengfeng Logistics been performing over the past few years?"

Zhang Kai is stunned for a moment, glancing at Gou Xinzhong:

"Not ideal. Losses for three consecutive years, and market share has been sliding."

"Why the losses?"

"This..."

Zhang Kai hesitates for a moment.

"The business strategy is flawed, market expansion is ineffective, and there's also the fact that President Gou's focus might not be entirely on operations."

Qin Ze nods and looks at Gou Xinzhong:

"President Gou, is that so?"

Gou Xinzhong is sweating profusely, standing perfectly straight now, looking exactly like a primary school student being scolded:

"President Qin, I will improve, I will definitely improve!"

"No need." Qin Ze waves his hand.

Gou Xinzhong's heart sinks.

Qin Ze continues:

"Zhang Kai, starting today, Qingfeng Holdings is withdrawing its investment from Zhengfeng Logistics."

Zhang Kai is stunned: "Withdraw investment?"

Qin Ze crosses his legs directly, closes his eyes, and speaks softly.

"Since there have been losses for three consecutive years, there's no need to keep providing blood transfusions."

"Sell our shares, or let President Gou buy them back; in any case, withdraw the investment."

Gou Xinzhong's legs go weak, and he almost falls to his knees.

"President Qin! You can't withdraw!"

"Zhengfeng Logistics is currently preparing for financing; as long as the financing succeeds, we can come back to life!"

"Give me one more chance, I will definitely work hard!"

Qin Ze directly crushes his cigarette butt.

"I give you a chance?"

"On what grounds?"

Qin Ze pulls Jiang Wan up, ready to leave immediately. At the door, Qin Ze looks at Zhang Kai:

"Handle the withdrawal of investment; follow the necessary procedures and settle the accounts clearly."

"We'll talk about company matters another day!"
