Chapter 857: Who Is Plotting Against Them? (5)

She bid farewell to Xu Dazhi at the office entrance. Zhuang Nainai looked at the time. She got off work early today, so she could spend more time with her sons.

Lately, she had been going to the villa to see her sons every day after work. They had moved out of the sterilized room and were living in a clean and comfortable room.

Si Zhengting and Zhuang Nainai parted ways. After he’d taken a few steps, a low-profile black BMW stopped beside him.

He scanned the surroundings quickly. After making sure that no one was looking in this direction, he sneaked into the car speedily.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ji Chen looked at the awful face before lowering his head immediately as he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold his laughter.

As he looked ahead, he could not help but think, No wonder Dazhuang and the others don’t want to take up the role of the chauffeur. I’m probably the one with the most self-control.

For the sake of being with Madam, Sir is really going all out with this face!

Just as he was lamenting under his breath with his head lowered, he heard Si Zhengting say, “Did you find anything regarding the matter I asked you to check?”

The instant Zhang Chenglin suddenly received a cosplay order out of nowhere, Si Zhengting had already found it fishy. Hence, he had asked Ji Chen to check up on it from the start.

After hearing this, Ji Chen answered immediately, “Yes. They are the culprits indeed.”

After he finished speaking, he passed a stack of documents to Si Zhengting politely. Seeing that he had skimmed through them quickly, he said, “Sir, actually, you have already found the project fishy from the beginning. Why did you still let Zhang Chenglin get his way?”

After hearing this, Si Zhengting explained nonchalantly, “If I hadn’t, Nainai would not be able to become a shareholder.”

Become a shareholder?

Initially, Ji Chen had thought that Mr. Si wanted to take the chance to teach Cheng Sizhe a lesson because he did not like Cheng Sizhe. He did not expect him to have this in mind instead.

But this was a good idea too.

One would never be able to experience the executives’ work if they work for others. One would only be able to grow truly by participating in the business personally.

But…

“What if Mr. Cheng finds someone else to invest in the business?”

Si Zhengting glanced at him and remained silent. However, his message was clear: Who would dare to invest in his business with him around?!

Ji Chen was curious. “Sir, what if… Madam chooses to work for another company instead of joining as a shareholder?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Zhengting looked down nonchalantly. This time around, he couldn’t even be bothered to answer him.

Ji Chen really wanted to slap himself. From the looks of it, Sir already has everything planned. Actually, Sir is by Madam’s side every day now. He must be able to influence her decisions slowly but surely somehow.

When Zhuang Nainai reported for work the next day, she realized Cheng Sizhe did not look good.

He was talking on the phone. Even as he spoke on the phone, he sounded dispirited. “Our company still has bright prospects. Furthermore, even if we don’t, can’t you just help a friend out by funding me?”

She did not know what the other party’s reply was, but Cheng Sizhe sighed in disappointment. “Forget it, then.”

This man looked gentle even when he’s mad.

Zhuang Nainai walked to her desk before pricking her ears up to listen to the conversation.

Cheng Sizhe sounded even more discouraged and urgent. “You can’t? It’s just two million. Normally, you would easily spend more than two million on a car. Don’t you have the money to spare?”

“No? Okay.”

After he ended the call, he tossed his phone onto the table in front of him. Frustrated, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
