Chapter 3560 A Half-hearted Effort

"However, although Zhao Chang'an's words were unreasonable, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in them. Let me ask Shan Qiang about it."

Xie Shaoxin took out his phone and dialed Shan Qiang's number.

The call lasted only three or four minutes. Shan Qiang was busy and only told Xie Shaoxin that Feng Jianfei would be going to school for a period of time, and Duan Fengqing would temporarily take over the work in Shancheng.

"That's the specifics, but it won't have much impact on the group's operations in Shancheng. No matter what Shancheng's future positioning is, it will have a negligible impact on current real estate sales."

Shan Qiang said over there, "Although Zhao Chang'an's words are unreasonable, Shao Xin, what he said is not without reason. Wang Deyuan and Liu Mingxiong's affairs are the Rose Group's affairs. No matter what he wants to do or how much trouble he stirs up, you should not interfere in the future."

Although Shan Qiang didn't accuse Xie Shaoxin of meddling in other people's business, that was the gist of her words, which made Xie Shaoxin blush a little.

However, due to his years of indulging in excessive eating and drinking and frequenting brothels, his intestines have been cut off. He can't eat anything that's even slightly oily, spicy, or hard to digest. His body is thin and has an unhealthy dark complexion, so his dark reddish complexion isn't noticeable at this time.

He offered a somewhat embarrassed explanation: "I think this kid is really wicked. Is he up to some bad idea again, trying to harm you?"

“It’s alright, it won’t affect me. Besides, since Zhao Chang’an is still using the Rose Group to cause trouble, I’m going to sell these shares to him and let him do whatever he wants with them.”

Shan Qiang on the other end of the phone seemed angry: "It's just a tiny business, not worth my time!"

Zhao Chang'an and Tang Shuang hugged and kissed for a while, then walked out of the office in a serious manner to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Dan Jun's legs were still weak, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Tang Shuang. Moreover, she was thinking about how Zhao Chang'an had just kissed her domineeringly and made her drool. She wondered if the two of them had eaten together inside.
That doesn't mean I'm indirectly involved with Tang Shuang—

Just thinking about it made Shan Jun blush, so she quickly said that she was on a diet and that she would just have a glass of milk for lunch.

Ruan Ya didn't want to be a third wheel either, and said she would drink milk and eat an apple at noon to lose weight.

"Your two female secretaries are interesting; they both weigh 80 or 90 pounds and still talk about losing weight."

Tang Shuang laughed and said, "It seems you've been too lenient with them. The female clerks in my office eat like hungry wolves because they're exhausted all day long and their faces are covered in boils."

Just as Zhao Chang'an was about to speak, his phone rang. It was Jiang Xian calling.

"Assistant Jiang."

Standing at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator, Li Qing and several people from the human resources department walked over, and Zhao Chang'an nodded to them.

"Chairman Zhao, General Manager Shan asked me to spend a few days with General Manager Xie so he can familiarize himself with the company and some external departments. Actually, you misunderstood General Manager Xie earlier. He's just concerned about the Rose Group, and he also has a wide network of connections. He has friends and classmates from all over the country, as well as the children of his father's old friend. He wanted to ask if you have any difficulties or needs that he could help you with."

Jiang Xian said on the other end of the line, "President Shan just called me and asked me to contact you—"

The elevator arrived at this floor and opened. Zhao Chang'an gestured for Li Qing and the others to get off first, as the cell phone signal inside the elevator was too weak to make calls.

Walking to the window next to him, he heard Jiang Xian say, "She's asking if you're interested in taking over the Rose Group, including the sand and gravel plant, the shares of Shancheng Vocational and Technical College, the nursery company, and the shares of Rose Cultural Tourism she holds."

Zhao Chang'an was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Ms. Shan is a person who does big things. It's really difficult for her to continue getting entangled in these small businesses. Please convey my opinion: if Ms. Shan is willing, I agree."

Tang Shuang stood next to Zhao Chang'an and, seeing that no one was coming over, tugged at his left hand.

Hopefully, Zhao Chang'an won't make a decision so quickly. It would be best if he could take the initiative to contact Shan Qiang and explain things clearly. Even if they really do part ways completely, they should try their best to maintain a good relationship.

Zhao Chang'an shook his head at her, meaning that the two of them had already broken down, and there was no need to pretend to use the Rose Group as a cover to cover up the huge rift between them.

At this moment, Zhao Chang'an was also feeling quite emotional. He had seen how ruthless and heartless Shan Qiang was after the incident with Niu Meng'en. However, considering that Niu Meng'en and his father had schemed against Shan Qiang first, her counterattack was understandable.

There was also the initial hint from Shan Qiang to Shan Cai, which led to the two of them actually getting together.

However, he did not expect that the forced merger into Su would cause such a strong reaction from Shan Qiang, who eventually pushed his side out of the Green Garden Group step by step. Now, he only wanted to do a good job in developing Rose Culture and Tourism and cooperate with the construction of the green tourism economy in the mountain city, but somehow he touched her sore spot again.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Shan Qiang truly stepped over Niu Meng'en and herself to complete her transformation and rise step by step.

And that is indeed the case.

Zhao Chang'an quickly accumulated assets and achieved successive promotions thanks to Shan Qiang, while Shan Qiang also benefited greatly from Zhao Chang'an's successive promotions.

However, by last summer, Zhao Chang'an had sensed some changes in Shan Qiang, so he first took out a portion of Xizi Education's shares to exchange for the shares of Cretaceous in Shan Cai's hands, and then invested in North America, completely excluding Shan Qiang from the investors.

It seems that since last September, Shan Qiang has been harboring resentment towards Zhao Chang'an for not getting her to invest with her. Now, her assets have skyrocketed, making her a bona fide female billionaire.

So starting last October, Shan Qiang secretly began looking for new partners, finding childhood friends or acquaintances from the same compound, such as Jie Shaoxin and Mou Yongjin.

In fact, when Meng Xuedong and his team set up an investment company in Gotham City, Zhao Chang'an had considered whether to bring Shan Qiang over to invest in part of the company, but he later firmly rejected the idea in his heart.

Looking back now, Zhao Chang'an is glad he made the right decision back then. Otherwise, Shan Qiang's shadow would be everywhere in OneNano North America now. Who knows when this ruthless and heartless woman might have a nervous breakdown and start replicating those two meetings, carefully plotting something step by step, just like she did with Niu Meng'en and bringing in Mu Yongjin.

Although Zhao Chang'an was not afraid, he really felt disgusted!
"I will convey your decision to General Manager Shan, Mr. Zhao. I wonder how much you are willing to invest in this purchase?"

Zhao Chang'an said without hesitation, "I will hand this matter over to the company's evaluation department for review and evaluation, and I also hope that you can come up with a reasonable quote."

"I will report to Mr. Shan and then contact you, Mr. Zhao."

Jiang Xian was very careful with her words.

Zhao Chang'an hung up the phone and said to Tang Shuang with a smile, "See, we've parted ways."
