When the car arrived at the company, Shen Hanyu went to Zhen Yiping’s office.

Zhen Yiping was whispering something to his secretary when he saw Shen Hanyu come in. He waved his hand and asked his secretary to leave.

“Come sit down.”

Zhen Yiping pointed at the chair, indicating for Shen Hanyu to sit down. “About the contract, they’ve made their stance clear. They called me last night, so the follow-up should be very smooth.”

Shen Hanyu nodded. “As long as it’s going well.”

Zhen Yiping looked at Shen Hanyu with an indescribable expression. It was as if he was sighing and praising him. “Sometimes, you do things that are beyond my expectations.”

He thought that Shen Hanyu was only a calm person, but when an incident happened, he could always use extreme means. It was dangerous, but he always achieved unexpected results.

Just like this time, he and Shen Hanyu had gone abroad to meet an important client, and they were discussing a big deal that involved hundreds of billions of Yuan.

The contract had already been signed, and it was already the final step to stamp it. Who knew that the Vice President and Supervisor’s car would be involved in an accident, and the briefcase containing the contract would be stolen?

It was already unbelievable that such a change happened during the signing of a huge contract, but the boss of the other company was even more unbelievable.

This man was an extremely devout believer who believed in God when it came to anything. He firmly believed that this change was a revelation from God and was determined to no longer cooperate with Zhen Group.

Zhen Yiping and Shen Hanyu had no choice but to change their flight back to China. They stayed one more day overseas just to resolve this matter.

They went to visit the other party’s boss in person, treated him with sincerity, and tried to persuade him to sign the contract again, but it was to no avail.

Zhen Yiping thought that there was no way to salvage the situation, but he did not expect Shen Hanyu to go to the Vice President in charge of the contract that night.

He even got the other party’s phone call record and found that someone in the country had spoken to the Vice President on the phone while giving him a large amount of capital transactions. Thus, using a few ‘tricks’, he made the Vice President run to the boss overnight to ‘report the good news’, saying that the contract was lost but recovered, and the cooperation was still feasible.

“How did you know there was something wrong with the Vice President?”

Zhen Yiping liked to drink tea, and there was an exquisite red sandalwood tea set on his desk.

At this time, the water in the purple clay teapot was already boiling. Water vapor rose as smoke came out of the teapot.

Zhen Yiping poured a cup of tea for Shen Hanyu as he asked for his advice.

In fact, Zhen Yiping also had some suspicions as the briefcase containing the contract had been stolen when the car was smashed in broad daylight, and the car was conveniently parked in a place without any surveillance cameras.

However, the Vice President was so anxious that he wanted to take the blame and resign. After that, he apologized to Zhen Yiping again and again. His regretful look was so sincere that it didn’t look like an act at all.

Coupled with the police’s investigation, Zhen Yiping’s suspicion also faded.

At that time, he had thought that the Vice President had no motive to deliberately lose the contract. After all, if the contract was signed, it would be good for him.

Unexpectedly, this person really did it on purpose, and he was deliberately incited to do so.

“I couldn’t be so sure, I just thought it was a bit of a coincidence. More importantly,”

The tea was made from the best tea leaves, and it had a lingering fragrance. Shen Hanyu took a sip and said slowly, “I promised Qianqian that I would come back early. I really didn’t want to waste any time abroad, so I investigated that person. I didn’t expect to find something wrong.”

Zhen Yiping’s surprise caused him to pause in his actions of lifting the teapot, and then he laughed out loud.

“It seems like I have to thank Qianqian. Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.”

Zhen Yiping smiled as he poured more tea for Shen Hanyu. He was pleased, but also touched.

Indeed, like mother, like son. This nephew of his was deeply in love with Sang Qianqian, just like how his mother was with Shen Shaofeng.

Fortunately, they were married now. As long as they continued on their path, their future would be filled with happiness.

Shen Hanyu’s well-defined fingers gently rubbed the teacup as he said, “Uncle, how do you plan to handle this matter?”

Zhen Yiping slowly sipped his tea, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

“Zhen Group doesn’t tolerate black sheeps. I can’t give him a chance even if I wanted to.”

Through the steam coming out from the tea, Zhen Yiping sighed softly, “It’s just that I didn’t expect it to be him. I thought it would be Kejing.”

Xu Kejing was the group’s Executive Vice President. He was once promoted and trained by Zhen Yiping, and was also the number one reserved figure that Zhen Yiping was training to be the Executive President.

However, Shen Hanyu’s sudden arrival at Zhen Group and his stable position as the President made Xu Kejing’s position rather critical. Moreover, this business trip was originally planned for Xu Kejing to go with Zhen Yiping, but Zhen Yiping still brought Shen Hanyu along in the end.

Therefore, when Shen Hanyu said that the so-called contract was stolen by accident and that someone in the group was behind it, Zhen Yiping’s first suspicion was on Xu Kejing.

It was only when Shen Hanyu placed the evidence and the recording in front of him that he realized it was someone else. He couldn’t believe it, but he had to accept the truth.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a voice came, “Chairman, it’s me.”

Shen Hanyu wanted to get up but was stopped by Zhen Yiping. “Say here. You don’t have to avoid anything that happens in the company.”

Shen Hanyu had no choice but to sit down again, and Zhen Yiping let the people outside in.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with white hair strode in. He turned to look at Shen Hanyu, then at Zhen Yiping. He nodded and said, “Chairman, President Shen.”

It was the Chairman of the Supervision Bureau, Zhen Chongming.

Zhen Yiping took a sip of tea as if he had not heard anything and did not respond.

Shen Hanyu didn’t even spare a glance at Zhen Chongming.

The smile on Zhen Chongming’s face gradually faded as he said cautiously, “Chairman, I wonder why you’ve called me here?”

Zhen Yiping put down his teacup, and the crisp sound of the porcelain bowl hitting the table was particularly harsh in the quiet office, bringing an indescribable pressure.

“Chongming, you and I are both surnamed Zhen. You grew with my father. Back then, my father treated you like his own son, and I’ve always treated you like a brother.”

Zhen Yiping’s face was as cold as ice, and her words were harsh. “Why do you want to go against the Zhen family?”

“Chairman, you should know how loyal I am to the Zhen family. I’ve treated the company’s matters as my own for so many years. Why would I go against the Zhen family?” Zhen Chongming looked surprised.

“You still want to quibble? Do you want me to play your call history with the Vice President overseas?”

Zhen Yiping’s eyes flashed with anger, “You’re willing to give someone a hundred million Yuan to break the company’s hundreds of billions of Yuan contract. Zhen Chongming, you really made a great plan!”

Chu Chongming suddenly froze, his expression changing unpredictably..
