20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3938 Shan Qiang, who will never bow her head

"Dong dong dong."

Jiang Xian knocked on the door and came in, her pretty face flushed and glistening with sweat. She handed Shan Qiang a tube of ointment: "President Shan."

"Put it on the table, you can leave now."

Shan Qiang didn't turn around, but kept looking at the entrance of the headquarters courtyard below the building. She saw that Mu Yongjin and the others were looking in this direction in the setting sun, and knew that they were looking at her.

Of course, the building's windows are all specially made with film, so she can see clearly outside, while outsiders cannot see inside during the day.

In just one day and one night, everything changed completely.

From the moment Yu Yuanxi and his group all fell into the trap last night, to the moment Green Garden's stock price hit the daily limit down again today, to the bank's cold notification, to the furious interrogation by Mu Yongjin and his group, who forced him to call Xiao Xuecheng on the spot and demand that he take out the pledged shares to give them as a second pledge, and then beat him up after being refused.

After watching Mu Yongjin and the others negotiate with the security guards, Shan Qiang re-entered the courtyard and drove away. As she watched the sunset slowly sink below the western horizon, she took out her phone, which was heavily charged, and dialed Xiao Xuecheng's number.

"Small order."

Xiao Xuecheng's voice was as crisp and clear as ever, which made Shan Qiang feel much better.

"Brother Xiao,"

After shouting, Shan Qiang didn't know what to say.

"If it's about Luyuan, then don't say anything. After arresting Yu Yuanxi and his gang last night, the intensive interrogation has confirmed that they used illegal methods in some demolition projects in Luyuan. Jin Feiyue put justice before family by reporting Jin Guangren, which implicated Yu Yuanxi and his gang. Moreover, these people are also connected to Xiang Tenghai's case, which is now being personally supervised by Huanan."

Xiao Xuecheng's words made Shan Qiang's heart sink again. He not only meant that he would not interfere in Green Garden's affairs, but also implied that as this news spread, Green Garden's stock price was very likely to continue to fall next week.

It wasn't until this point that Shan Qiang truly began to feel afraid, because no matter what she did before, her shares were safe. However, now it meant that if there was another limit down, her pledged shares would also be at a loss.

So what will Zeng Xiu and the others do?
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position."

“I’m not in a difficult position, because I haven’t been involved in this matter. I’m also a bit confused about the current situation at Green Garden. My personal suggestion is that you should communicate with Zhao Chang’an, since he is also a major shareholder of the company. As far as I know, he is getting very close to Jin Feiyue and Zou Xiaojun, the son of Huanan.”

Like a thunderclap, only now, after being awakened by Xiao Xuecheng, did Shan Qiang belatedly realize that Zhao Chang'an played a very important role in this turmoil, or even that he was the one who orchestrated it!
Shock, anger, disappointment, anxiety, fear—a flood of thoughts overwhelmed Shan Qiang in an instant.

She didn't even know how to end the call with Xiao Xuecheng.

After thinking for a long time, Shan Qiang felt that the whole world had become extremely cold at this moment, and it was only Luo Jinsheng who gave her a little unexpected warmth.

She walked out of the office, where Jiang Xian and Yan Na were. When they saw Shan Qiang come out, they immediately stood up.

"How is President Luo?"

"Still in the hospital."

"Go and see."

At this moment, Shan Qiang also wanted to have a good talk with Luo Jinsheng.

Luo Jinsheng was five years older than her. Back in the compound, he was always the kind of person with a very low profile. Unlike Xiao Xuecheng, Mou Yongjin, and Ji Zhenqian, who were so eloquent and passionate, or Shang Zeyuan, Xie Shaoxin, and Ji Lianyun, who were arrogant and always forming cliques and causing trouble, the bored kids in the compound nicknamed him "The Silent One." Shan Qiang now desperately wanted to have a serious talk with Luo Jinsheng because she realized that, without her noticing, she no longer had anyone to confide in.

As for Xiao Xuecheng's suggestion to contact Zhao Chang'an privately, it was simply impossible for someone as proud as Shan Qiang to do so.

She would never bow down to him, and she would never take the initiative to contact him and reconcile!

Zeng Xiu finally felt a little more at ease. Next, she would start targeting Shan Qiang next week. If she could succeed, she would not only be able to escape danger, but also have a brighter future for Zhengzhou City Commercial Bank after deepening her cooperation with One Nano.

She hadn't been back to Zhengzhou for three days and was tired of staying in hotels, so she took her already packed luggage and prepared to go downstairs to check out.

The sun was already setting outside the window, and the streetlights were on.

Thinking of her fairly good relationship with Shan Qiang, Zeng Xiu decisively shook her head and said with a soft smile, "Sister Shan, I'm sorry."

Fortunately, during her previous interactions with Shan Qiang, she had taken into account Shan Qiang's family background and her relationship with Xiao Xuecheng. Therefore, she refused all the money and valuables that Shan Qiang offered her in private. Otherwise, she would have been in real trouble this time.

This is the benefit and confidence of having an open mind and honest conduct!

Not long after Zhao Chang'an and Jiang Lai arrived at Zheng Chi's studio, Chu Guangwu rushed over in a great hurry.

"Mr. Zhao, Zheng Chi hasn't eaten yet, has he? It's on me today. Please take good care of Jiang Lai in Mingzhu."

Zhao Chang'an, who was playing Counter-Strike online with Zheng Chi, Jiang Lai, Zheng Chi's college buddies, and one of their girlfriends, chuckled and said, "I'm tired of eating out every day. Tonight we're having ham sausage, braised eggs, pickled vegetables, and instant noodles. This is the top-tier meal at internet cafes; I haven't had it in ages. Find me a computer, and we'll play all night. First, we'll play Counter-Strike, then Warcraft III and Red Alert."

Hearing Zhao Chang'an say this, Chu Guangwu wanted to say that Zhao Chang'an, you are a company boss, it's simply a waste of your time to indulge in frivolous pursuits. But then he thought that this was not a good thing, so that he wouldn't become a third wheel between him and Jiang Lai.

"Then Jiang Lai and I will go out for a bite to eat. I'll bring you some braised dishes and a bottle of wine. We can play a few rounds together tonight."

"No, Mr. Chu, that's too kind of you. I've already boiled some water and bought your share too. We also have alcohol, both beer and liquor."

When Zhao Chang'an and Jiang Lai arrived, they first went to his uncle's house and put down the bags of clothes and shoes they had bought. Zheng Chi could tell what was going on just by looking at the intimacy between the two. Of course, he also knew Chu Guangwu's identity. There were some things that his brother couldn't say, so he had to do it himself.

"Chu Guangwu, the battle is in full swing, hurry up and get on the plane, don't spoil the fun."

Jiang Lai smiled and said something, then put the headphones she had just taken off and put on her snow-white neck back on, and continued fighting.

Seeing Jiang Lai so happy, Chu Guangwu was also filled with joy. He felt that it would be petty to insist any longer, so he quickly agreed, ran to the computer next to Jiang Lai, sat down, closed the game running on it, and logged into the LAN.

Although they were supposed to stay up all night, around midnight, everyone decided to stop and log off. They ate barbecue and drank some beer at a roadside stall near the neighborhood. It was already past 2 a.m. when the noise started, and Chu Guangwu insisted on paying the bill.

Then they found a hotel nearby and booked five standard rooms. Chu Guangwu insisted on paying. With ten people, eight men and two women, they were paired up for each room. Zhao Chang'an and Zheng Chi shared one room, and Jiang Lai and the other woman shared another. Chu Guangwu had no choice but to accept this.

"Here's the key. I already told Old Liu's wife in secret that even if Chu Guangwu really goes crazy and knocks on the door tonight, he won't open it for him. If he knocks on the door tomorrow and asks, just say that Jiang Lai has already left."

Zheng Chi winked at Zhao Chang'an: "You two sleep in my sister's bed. My bed is reserved for my future wife, so don't let you two defile it."
