Chapter 297: What If the Little Pink Book Betrays You?

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: What If the Little Pink Book Betrays You?

"You’re right," Zhou Xueyi said, a smile spreading across his face, growing larger and larger until he couldn’t contain it anymore.

"This time, Chengzhou is about to take a big fall. This was personally authorized by Zhou Shuyan; it was him who initially inquired about the Little Pink Book," Zhou Xueyi said expectantly, "With problems arising from Little Pink Book, it’s hard for Zhou Shuyan to shirk responsibility."

"So, what do we do? The partnership between Chengzhou Technology and Little Pink Book is almost settled, and the contract is supposed to be signed tomorrow," Cao Zhijie hesitated before asking, "Do we just stand by and do nothing?"

"How can we do nothing? Chengzhou isn’t Zhou Shuyan’s alone; I can’t just watch Chengzhou make a mistake," Zhou Xueyi shook his head, "Zhou Shuyan’s error shouldn’t be Chengzhou’s to bear. Signing the contract tomorrow, there’s really no time. I can only save the day there and then when they sign the contract."

Cao Zhijie understood immediately, his face full of admiration, "We still have to rely on Chairman Zhou!"

"Alright, you can go now," Zhou Xueyi complimented again, "Well done."

After Cao Zhijie left, Zhou Xueyi burst into laughter, in an excellent mood.

He enjoyed the sensation of victory in advance and then specifically took a walk around Chengzhou Technology.

He even casually strolled towards Xiang Shihong’s office.

"Chairman Zhou..." Xiang Shihong’s assistant was bewildered by Zhou Xueyi’s unexpected visit, not understanding his purpose.

Not just Building A, but even employees at Building B of Chengzhou Technology knew that Zhou Xueyi currently doesn’t hold any position.

Zhou Xueyi is essentially idle, appearing busy by going to the office every day, but in fact has no work to do.

At first, he still tried to utilize his power to investigate various departments.

Back then, the departments were uncertain about Zhou Shuyan’s stance and whether they should completely disregard Zhou Xueyi.

They cooperated with Zhou Xueyi’s investigations.

But when it was Chengzhou Technology’s R&D department’s turn, as Shen Yanqing was part of Zhou Shuyan’s inner circle, he went straight to Zhou Shuyan with inquiries.

With Zhou Shuyan’s reply of "Don’t mind him," Shen Yanqing was the first along with the R&D department to ignore Zhou Xueyi.

They didn’t provide any materials Zhou Xueyi asked for and just dragged their feet until the noise died down.

Other departments learned what to do once they understood Zhou Shuyan’s intent.

Now everyone knew Zhou Xueyi’s place at the company.

Xiang Shihong’s assistant couldn’t help but wonder if Zhou Xueyi, turning up now, was thinking of starting inspections again?

"Vice President Xiang is inside, right?" Zhou Xueyi asked.

"Yes..." the assistant replied hesitantly.

"Okay then," Zhou Xueyi walked up to the door confidently, "I’ll enter on my own."

Although Zhou Xueyi currently isn’t anything in the company, he is, after all, a director of Chengzhou and Zhou Shuyan’s uncle.

So the assistant didn’t dare stop him.

Zhou Xueyi opened the door, and even before entering, called out with extreme confidence mixed with a bit of swagger, "Vice President Xiang."

Xiang Shihong, looking at the entering Zhou Xueyi: "..."

What was this man doing in his office?

He had no idea why Zhou Xueyi was putting on airs.

Zhou Xueyi’s current reputation at Chengzhou was, in truth, not very good.

His image as a bumbling fool with delusions of grandeur was well established in everyone’s hearts.

"Chairman Zhou, what brings you here?" Although Xiang Shihong was internally critical, he still stood up courteously and walked around the desk to greet Zhou Xueyi.

Zhou Xueyi, without any pretense, took a seat on the sofa as if he was superior, gesturing to a nearby spot with an air of authority, "Come, sit."

Xiang Shihong: "..."

Could someone get this idiot out of here?

"Chairman Zhou, you’re here because..." Xiang Shihong wondered whether Zhou Xueyi truly intended to start conducting oversight work at Chengzhou Technology again?

Only when Xiang Shihong sat down did Zhou Xueyi speak: "I heard that Chengzhou Technology intends to invest in Little Pink Book and to embark on a deeper partnership?"

Xiang Shihong was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

It wasn’t a secret anymore; the matter had progressed to the stage of signing a contract the next day.

Xiang Shihong wasn’t surprised that Zhou Xueyi was aware of it.

What surprised him was Zhou Xueyi coming to him because of this matter.

What did this have to do with Zhou Xueyi?

Zhou Xueyi didn’t volunteer any information, and Xiang Shihong didn’t ask.

Since Zhou Xueyi came to him, he would eventually reveal his purpose.

There was no rush; it wasn’t him who was anxious.

Zhou Xueyi saw Xiang Shihong’s acknowledgement and then fell silent again.

Not knowing to ask why he was being questioned, Zhou Xueyi had to take the initiative again: "I also heard that everything is already settled, and all that’s left is the official contract signing tomorrow?"

Xiang Shihong kept his response simple: "Yes."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

"Where do you plan to sign the contract tomorrow?" Zhou Xueyi asked further.

The more Xiang Shihong listened, the more puzzled he became about Zhou Xueyi’s motives, but the matter wasn’t one he could lie about, so he answered, "Still at Chengzhou."

They had always conducted their discussions with Lu Youxi and her team coming over to Chengzhou.

So out of habit, they planned to sign the contract at Chengzhou as well.

Zhou Xueyi then laughed and said, "Speaking of which, have you ever visited Little Pink Book Company?"

"No," Xiang Shihong thought to himself, why is the subject changing again?

"How about we sign the contract at Little Pink Book tomorrow? It will be a good opportunity to take a look at the Little Pink Book Company while we’re at it," Zhou Xueyi suggested.

Xiang Shihong narrowed his eyes, internally mocking the notion of ’we.’

"We?" Xiang Shihong asked, "Chairman Zhou, are you also going?"

"I’ll go to take a look as well," Zhou Xueyi replied as if it were only natural, "Speaking of which, since the partnership with Little Pink Book, you haven’t visited their company yet, have you?"

Xiang Shihong nodded, "Indeed, we haven’t."

"Vice President Xiang, I have to say something about that," Zhou Xueyi’s face showed disapproval, "Although Little Pink Book is performing well now, you should have thoroughly investigated Little Pink Book before considering a partnership. What if Little Pink Book had scammed us?"

"This time we were lucky; Little Pink Book turned out to be good, and we weren’t scammed by them. But what if Little Pink Book’s company wasn’t reliable? We should have visited their company for an on-site inspection before signing anything," Zhou Xueyi stated.

Xiang Shihong thought to himself that they had said it was just a three-person start-up team.

Two of them were genuine technical talents, and Lu Youxi was responsible for the business side.

Moreover, during the partnership with Little Pink Book, Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan had also worked with the R&D department of Chengzhou Technology.

Their abilities were thoroughly assessed by Shen Yanqing.

What was Zhou Xueyi suddenly doubting now?

However, Xiang Shihong didn’t voice these thoughts.

Such serious and professional matters didn’t need to be known by Zhou Xueyi.

"As we’re about to enter into an even deeper partnership with Little Pink Book, I think it’s a perfect opportunity to sign the contract at their company. It’s better to evaluate their working environment before the official agreement," Zhou Xueyi said with a cold smirk.
