Chapter 140: Follow the guidance
Zhuang Baiqing met Ye Cheng's scrutinizing gaze and warned, "I advise you to give up your desire to pry into the secrets of the Gray Building."
Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences.
Seeing that Zhuang Baiqing had seen through his intentions, Ye Cheng didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said eagerly, "I want to take action against the Chen Group. I wonder what Ms. Zhuang's opinion is?"
Zhuang Baiqing's eyes turned slightly cold: "Do you want to disrupt the peace of the Hedong City business district?"
Ye Chengdao: "Does President Zhuang have some misunderstanding about the word 'calm'?"
Zhuang Baiqing asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Ye Cheng said, "President Zhuang should already know about the numerous misdeeds of the Chen Group."
Chen Jinrong and Wan Xinghuai colluded and have corrupted the rules of the business world.
If the Gray Tower wants to gain greater profits in Hedong City, it needs to set things right.
Instead of reaping the benefits without effort and relying on hegemony to seize and plunder.
Wan Xinghuai and Chen Jinrong broke the rules first, shouldn't they be punished?
"Mr. Zhuang is so young, he probably wants to achieve something and demonstrate his abilities to those behind him."
Zhuang Baiqing stared blankly at Ye Cheng; those last seductive words had indeed touched her heart.
No young person doesn't want to make something of themselves to prove themselves to their elders.
"how do you want to do it?"
Zhuang Baiqing knew perfectly well that Ye Cheng was using reverse psychology, but she couldn't help but fall for it.
Through the conversation just now, Ye Cheng has figured out Gray Tower's attitude.
He didn't expect Gray Tower to put in any effort; he just wanted Gray Tower to stay out of it.
Therefore, Ye Cheng said in a way that seemed to be thinking of Zhuang Baiqing's best interests, "I won't make things difficult for President Zhuang. As long as Gray Tower stays out of it and doesn't interfere in anything, that's fine."
Once the Chen family falls from power and the commercial district of Hedong City returns to normalcy, the Grey Building will naturally be able to reap even greater profits.
Zhuang Baiqing was somewhat skeptical of Ye Cheng's words: "Is it really that simple?"
Ye Cheng countered, "How complicated could it be?"
It's just a matter of changing the chairman of the Chen Group.
Business ties will definitely not be broken.
Otherwise, what's the point of acquiring the Chen Group?
Zhuang Baiqing said, "Since you know that Wan Xinghuai is colluding with the Chen Group, how could you possibly defeat them so easily?"
If this is a protracted war, Gray Building will definitely not agree to you doing this.
You should know that the longer a business war lasts, the greater the losses will be.
The interests of the gray building will definitely be affected.
If you still want Gray Tower to deal with Wan Xinghuai, let me tell you clearly now, no way!
Ye Cheng said, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to ask Gray Tower for help. I have my own plans."
"I wonder what instructions Mr. Zhuang has for the chairmen of the Shen and Cheng families today?"
Zhuang Baiqing said with a straight face, "Are we that close? Why should I tell you?"
Ha, women, they really are all petty.
Ye Cheng said, "Isn't this laying the foundation for getting to know each other better?"
Although I did not accept Boss Zhuang's invitation to join Gray Tower, even without joining Gray Tower, I can still help Boss Zhuang obtain greater benefits than he does now.
"Does Mr. Zhuang really not consider me a friend at all, given how I treated him?"
friend?
This word sounds so unfamiliar.
Zhuang Baiqing has never made any friends since she was a child.
"Aren't friends meant to be betrayed?"
"That depends on who you make friends with."
Am I, someone who dared to donate a kidney to save a college classmate, not worthy of Mr. Zhuang's trust?
My college classmate, who is also my ex-wife, how she treated me, and how I treated her.
President Zhuang probably knows better than anyone else.
Zhuang Baiqing was puzzled: "How can I know more than anyone else? I wasn't even involved in the whole thing!"
Ye Chengdao said, "But Huilou has connections everywhere in Hedong City."
If President Zhuang hadn't paid attention to me, how could he have invited me to join Gray Tower?
This logic is so clear!
Zhuang Baiqing was speechless, having unknowingly been manipulated by Ye Cheng.
“I plan to tell them that Li Zhanyue is in the Gray Building and see how they react.”
Ye Chengdao: "As far as I know, Li Zhanyue once pursued Chairman Cheng."
Unfortunately, Chairman Cheng has questionable sexual orientation.
Li Zhan then turned his attention to Chairman Cheng's sister.
Zhuang Baiqing was surprised: "I've never heard of such a thing before, how do you know?"
Ye Cheng thought to himself: This happened a long time ago. How old are you? Of course you wouldn't know.
If I hadn't been fortunate enough to see Li Zhanyue's diary, I wouldn't have known.
"I'm a hacker, so digging up some dirt on me is a piece of cake."
If Mr. Zhuang dares to tell me some of his experiences, I can also investigate his detailed background thoroughly.
Zhuang Baiqing looked at Ye Cheng with a deep, enigmatic gaze, and warned him fiercely, "Don't even think about it. If you dare to investigate me, I'll chop off your hands and gouge out your eyes!"
Seeing Zhuang Baiqing's strong reaction, Ye Cheng knew that this CEO of Gray Building must have some unspeakable secret.
To become the de facto head of the Gray Building at such a young age, one's background must be extraordinary.
Ye Cheng had considered that Zhuang Baiqing was from the mountain, but Ling Suqiu was also from the mountain, yet she wasn't as free as Zhuang Baiqing.
At least Zhuang Baiqing had the right to choose her partner, while Ling Suqiu did not.
This shows that even if Zhuang Baiqing came from the mountain, she was definitely not some fringe disciple.
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Being so arrogant, your background must be extraordinary."
"Could you tell me, Mr. Zhuang, who sent the assassin to kill me last night?"
Zhuang Baiqing chuckled and snorted, "You want to know?"
Ye Cheng nodded: "I'd really like to know."
Taking the opportunity, Zhuang Baiqing negotiated: "Marry me."
Ye Cheng humbly replied, "I am but a mortal. How could I possibly be worthy of marrying a fairy like President Zhuang who is untouched by worldly affairs?"
"Considering that I can bring wealth to Mr. Zhuang, could you please tell me a thing or two?"
Zhuang Baiqing was unaware that Ye Cheng had already interrogated the Iron Knife Sect members. Her expression turned serious: "I'm not telling you for your own good."
You'd better not ask about these kinds of things.
"If you can truly generate revenue for the Gray Building, I might be willing to use my resources to protect you."
Ye Cheng now understood that Zhuang Baiqing was undoubtedly a member of some sect on the mountain.
"Alright then, listen to advice and you'll eat your fill."
Since Mr. Zhuang has said so, I won't investigate further.
However, there's still one thing I don't understand in this city of Hedong, and I hope Mr. Zhuang can clarify it for me.
Zhuang Baiqing readily agreed: "What is it?"
Ye Cheng said: "Regarding the kidnapping of Mrs. Xu Menghao in the East District."
Some people have long suspected that it was done by Gray Building.
Now I am absolutely certain that I have nothing to do with Gray Building.
I just don't know if President Zhuang is aware of this matter.
The Gray Building has suffered so many years of injustice; we must find a way to clear its name.
Zhuang Baiqing stared at Ye Cheng for a while: "This matter involves a power struggle within the government. Do you really want to know the truth?"
Ye Cheng was secretly delighted: "I didn't expect that Gray Tower could actually provide clues."
"If only we had established a good relationship with Gray Building earlier."
He patiently explained, "Such a terrible thing happened in Hedong City, which means there are problems within the government."
If this cannot be resolved properly, it will pose a major hidden danger to our business community.
Zhuang Baiqing said, "I'll tell you if you can guarantee you didn't get the information from me."
Ye Cheng raised his hand and swore, "I swear I will never tell anyone."
