Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! Chapter 401 The Cicada Shedding Its Shell Strategy

Duan Bingtian looked at Zhou Li in front of him, smiling and said, "Zhou Li, you've followed for so many years, you should be very clear about how I treat you."

This assistant, like him, was from Cang County, Hubei Province.

Back then, when he was handling the agricultural fund in Cang County, many farrs lost their families and their lives.

Zhou Li's family was among them.

Zhou Li and her father went to Duan Bingtian to ask for the money.

Not only did Duan Bingtian refuse to give them the money, but he also severely injured Zhou Li's father.

At the ti, Zhou Li's family had almost no money left, and her father was seriously injured and needed a lot of money for surgery at the hospital.

Duan Bingtian, noticing Zhou Li's beauty, offered to pay for the surgery on the condition that she accompany him.

Zhou Li, unable to watch her father die because there was no money for surgery, had no choice but to agree.

Originally, this was supposed to be a one-ti thing, and it would be over after that.

However, Duan Bingtian, finding Zhou Li exceptionally charming, wanted to keep her by his side for the long term, so he spread the word that Zhou Li was attracted to his wealth and had beco his woman.

At that ti, Duan Bingtian was already in his sixties, and Zhou Li was only in her early twenties.

Facing Duan Bingtian's claims, Zhou Li was despised by the locals, who cursed her for being shaless.

Duan Bingtian then suggested they leave together.

She didn't want to leave with Duan Bingtian but also knew she couldn't stay in Cang County, so she thought about finding work elsewhere.

But Duan Bingtian threatened her, saying no matter where she went, he would announce that she was his woman.

With no way out, Zhou Li had to follow Duan Bingtian to this city.

Over the past ten years, Zhou Li had always served as Duan Bingtian's assistant, and Duan Bingtian treated her well.

For many years, Zhou Li had worked diligently for Duan Bingtian, serving him well, so he had co to consider Zhou Li as his confidant.

Otherwise, he would not have entrusted his network of contacts to her.

So now, their survival depended on Zhou Li.

Zhou Li knew Duan Bingtian's character very well. Hearing him say that, she knew it wouldn't be anything good.

Sure enough, the next second, she heard Duan Bingtian say, "This is the most dangerous ti. In a mont, I'll change the legal representative of the company to you and transfer all the shares to you. I trust only you; you must help ."

The legal representative was not a big issue; transferring it out wouldn't be a big problem.

But transferring the shares of the company was a serious matter. Tianxiong Foodstuff would belong to sobody else, and it needed soone absolutely reliable.

Otherwise, if soone simply sold their shares, cashed out, and fled, Duan Bingtian would be dood.

In Duan Bingtian's eyes, Zhou Li was absolutely reliable.

For over a decade, Zhou Li had been very compliant, doing whatever she was told, completely resigned to her fate.

Transferring the shares to Zhou Li, Duan Bingtian felt reassured.

This was the escape plan Duan Bingtian had thought of.

If the company wasn't his, the officials would have to go after Zhou Li, not him.

Later, if Zhou Li got sentenced or sothing, he would just have Zhou Li transfer the shares back to him.

Hearing Duan Bingtian's words, Zhou Li trembled, "Boss Duan, I don't want to go to jail."

Duan Bingtian said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll do everything I can to get you out. You won't stay inside for long; at most several days, maybe ten days to half a month. When you co out, we'll get married and have the wedding. I want everyone to know that you are my woman!"

When he left Cang County back in the day, many devastated farrs found out.

The farrs were furious and blocked their way.

Duan Bingtian, with his grandson Duan Shaohui and Zhou Li, left successfully.

His son and daughter-in-law, however, were beaten to death by the farrs.

Upon arriving in this city, he said he was going to marry Zhou Li.

However, since Zhou Li never had any children, he never broached the subject again.

Now, by bringing it up again, he was obviously trying to make Zhou Li agree to take the fall.

In his eyes, Zhou Li was very eager to marry him.

After all, whether they divorced or he died of old age, a part of the property would belong to Zhou Li.

Indeed, upon hearing Duan Bingtian's words, Zhou Li's body trembled again, and she shed tears.

It seed like a long-awaited event had finally reached a conclusion.

Seeing Zhou Li's reaction, Duan Bingtian was very pleased and imdiately picked up the phone on his desk: "Co in for a mont."

Soon, the company's legal departnt arrived.

Duan Bingtian explained the situation briefly.

After the legal departnt left, they returned within minutes, bringing several draft contracts.

Duan Bingtian looked them over, found no issues, and asked Zhou Li to sign the contracts.

Zhou Li's hands trembled as she signed the contracts through her tears.

After confirming the signatures, the legal departnt said, "I'll go and register with the Industry and Comrce Bureau right away. From now on, any company issues have nothing to do with you, President Duan."

"Good," Duan Bingtian nodded in satisfaction. "Use so connections to get it registered as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if Xu Yang pulls another stunt and soone cos after before the registration, it could be troubleso."

"Understood," the legal departnt nodded, gathered the contracts, and left.

Tianxiong Foodstuff was just a few minutes' drive from the municipal business administration.

Ten minutes later, the legal departnt called Duan Bingtian: "President Duan, the legal representative and shares have been transferred. Legally speaking, Tianxiong Foodstuff now belongs to Zhou Li, and nothing has anything to do with you."

"Good," Duan Bingtian nodded in satisfaction again and then hung up the phone.

Legally speaking, the company was no longer his.

But Zhou Li listened to him, so the company was still his in essence.

To enjoy profits without bearing risks was simply too delightful.

He should have done this sooner. Had he acted earlier, he could have wildly dealt in those zombie pork, chicken, and beef, earning more money. After all, if anything happened, Zhou Li would be the scapegoat, and it wouldn't affect him.

…

On Xu Yang's end.

Duan Shaohui kept mocking Xu Yang.

Xu Yang did not respond, but then he received a text ssage. Upon opening it, it read just five words: "President Xu, it's done!"

Still scoffing, Duan Shaohui taunted, "What, did you get a ssage? Is it that one of your other companies is in trouble? My grandfather said he was going to settle the matter and teach you a lesson. Has he made his move?"

Xu Yang gave a slight smile, "Speaking of which, I should thank you and your grandfather. If you had compensated with two billion, you wouldn't have lost the entire company!"

Duan Shaohui frowned, "What do you an?"

Xu Yang smiled, "You'll find out very soon."

…

At Tianxiong Foodstuff, in Duan Bingtian's office.

Duan Bingtian leaned back in his executive chair, staring at the ceiling, pondering how to deal with Xu Yang.

That bastard, Xu Yang, must have been plotting against him for a long ti.

Otherwise, he could not have co this far.

Now that he had weathered the storm, it was ti to counterattack.

If he didn't fight back, others might think he was easy to bully.

Xu Yang was just a young upstart who had risen in the past year. How could he compete with an old man approaching eighty like himself?

He had eaten more salt than Xu Yang had eaten rice; how could Xu Yang possibly contend with him?

Before he could co up with a plan to take down Xu Yang, he heard Zhou Li's voice: "Call a senior managent eting imdiately; I have sothing to say."

Duan Bingtian's brows furrowed, he sat up straight, and noticed Zhou Li was on the phone.

At that mont, Duan Bingtian felt a bad premonition.

"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to call a high-level eting?"
