Chapter 228: Chapter 228 - I’m Getting Engaged Tomorrow_1
The model saw Zhang Xian knock Ji Yongzhe to the ground with a single punch, and she gasped, retreating to one side.
Who in Yantai didn’t know about the Ji family? The guy in front of them dared to hit Ji Yonghao, even after learning that Ji Yonghao was the second young master of the Ji family?
"You dare to hit , why wouldn’t I dare to hit you?" Zhang Xian laughed.
Ji Yonghao was extrely furious, too lazy to argue with Zhang Xian. This guy was utterly detestable, hitting him was one thing, but what was really making him mad was the fact that the guy was still grinning afterwards.
"If you dare to act cocky again next ti, I’ll hit you again." Zhang Xian slapped Ji Yonghao’s face, and said, chuckling, "And by the way, I sold your car."
Ji Yonghao’s eyes widened, shouting angrily, "What? You... you sold my car?"
"Well, I was left with no choice." Zhang Xian explained, "Initially, I thought I could identify you from the surveillance video, but I was disappointed. I could do nothing with you!"
Ji Yonghao cried out, "Just because of that, you sold my car? Damn it, do you have any sha?"
"Yeah, I sold yours, what are you going to do about it?" Zhang Xian grinned. "Only you had the guts to ram your car into my friend. I feel sorry for you! Look, I wanted to resolve it through legal procedures, but I couldn’t find any evidence. Since it’s not a big deal, I didn’t bother to investigate. So, I had to sell your Ferrari to cover so dical expenses."
Ji Yonghao nearly coughed up blood, "My... my car was worth millions! Did you take it all?"
"Of course, you were inviting trouble." Zhang Xian stood up and warned, "Just a reminder, don’t try to cause trouble for that mother and daughter. Otherwise, I’ll make you beco a eunuch."
Ji Yonghao subconsciously covered his crotch, absolutely terrified.
"Elder Sister Hong, let’s go." Zhang Xian smiled, wrapping his arm around Duan Hong’s shoulder as he walked out of the private room.
Watching Zhang Xian, the model helped Ji Yonghao up and asked, "Young Master Ji... Are you okay? How could this guy be so reckless?"
Ji Yonghao cursed, "Damn it, I will never let that bastard go. He dared to sell my car, and I will make him pay an unbearable price... I will make his life worse than death."
...
As soon as Zhang Xian left the restaurant, he got into Duan Hong’s rcedes-Benz and drove towards the Zhu family residence.
Recalling the conversation with Ji Yonghao at the restaurant, he dialed He Zheng’s number and asked, "He Zheng, you should be able to sell Ji Yonghao’s car, right?"
"Er, Brother Xian, you want to sell that car?" He Zheng was taken aback. "With no paperwork, selling it will result in a big loss!"
Zhang Xian said, "True, it has been involved in an accident and there’s no paperwork; anyone who can afford to buy this car is not ordinary, and they definitely won’t agree without the paperwork."
"Brother Xian, how did you co up with the idea of selling the car?"
"I can’t find any evidence to punish Ji Yonghao. If I don’t sell the car, how can I compensate Du Xinyan?" Zhang Xian chuckled. "But now that you ntion it, I suddenly change my mind. Rather than selling the car at a low price, I might as well keep it for show-off. Only the front of the car is a bit damaged, the engine is fine. After a bit of repair, it would be a chic car again."
"Alright, I’ll take care of the repairs, it won’t cost much. I’ll cover the money for my sister-in-law, consider it as a gift of a second-hand car from
to the boss."
Zhang Xian asked, "You can afford to give a second-hand car?"
"This... Brother Xian, we are poor too! I am still driving a BMW 5 Series!"
Zhang Xian said, "Okay, when the car is repaired, let
know. And push them a bit; I might have to return to Tiandu in a few days."
"What? Brother Xian, you’re going back? What about us, the rest of the gang?"
Zhang Xian snapped, "Damn, you were doing fine before I ca here, why do I need to be here? When you have ti, you can also visit Tiandu."
"Hehe, alright!"
...
Yantai city, Zhu family.
When Zhu Da saw Duan Hong, his face didn’t look too good.
But upon learning that Duan Hong was on very friendly terms with Zhang Xian and at odds with Tao Jinbao, he suddenly ward up.
Leaving the rest aside, based purely on the fact that Zhang Xian had done the Zhu family a great favor and was their future son-in-law, he would trust Zhang Xian and Duan Hong unconditionally.
After seeing that Zhu Da had no objections to her, Duan Hong stated the purpose of her visit. "President Zhu, actually, I ca here this ti to discuss our companies’ cooperation."
Zhu Da asked puzzledly, "President Duan, what do you an by that?"
Duan Hong did not answer but pushed Zhang Xian forward.
Giving a wry smile, Zhang Xian said, "Uncle, it’s like this, Elder Sister Hong wants to rge Zhu Pharmaceuticals and Hachi Pharmaceuticals, each holding 50% of the shares."
Zhu Da was astonished, "What? rge Zhu Pharmaceuticals and Hachi Pharmaceuticals? Why would we do that?"
"Elder Sister Hong and I are friends, and Qingqing is my girlfriend. You both own pharmaceutical companies, so I don’t want any conflicts between you two. That’s why I ca up with this thod." Zhang Xian explained. "But don’t worry, after the rger, Duan Hong will hold 50% of the shares, but she won’t interfere with the company’s operations, aning that you will still control both companies."
"Er... Well..." Zhu Da hesitated.
Truthfully, Zhang Xian’s proposal was quite tempting. Hachi Pharmaceuticals was already stronger than Zhu Pharmaceuticals. After the rger, Duan Hong would only require 50% of the shares, and she wouldn’t manage the company. This was undoubtedly him being given the entirety of Hachi Pharmaceuticals, only needing to pay a portion of the profits at the end of the year. However, he couldn’t understand why Duan Hong would do this. Was it really as Zhang Xian said?
Zhang Xian smiled, "Uncle, you can express any dissatisfaction directly, it’s okay."
Zhu Da thought for a mont and then said, "Fine, I agree. You’re practically a son to , if I don’t trust you, who should I trust?"
Zhang Xian smirked bitterly and said, "You guys can discuss the rger details then!"
"About that... " Duan Hong glanced at Zhang Xian before turning to Zhu Da. "Mr. Zhu, I won’t be signing any contracts with you. You can simply co to my company tomorrow to wrap everything up."
"What...?" Zhu Da was taken aback.
Even though Duan Hong and Zhang Xian were good friends, could she really trust him that much? If that’s the case, he felt like he was maybe a bit petty for doubting Duan Hong earlier.
Zhang Xian was also surprised, "You’re not even going to sign a contract?"
Duan Hong laughed, "Just like Mr. Zhu said, I trust you unconditionally! There’s no way you would deceive ."
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and chuckled awkwardly.
Zhu Da glanced at Zhang Xian, then at Duan Hong - sothing seed off.
Duan Hong was a flirtatious woman who was very close to Zhang Xian. Could there be sothing happening between them? What about Qingqing?
Of course, he wouldn’t voice any of this aloud. If Zhang Xian was having an affair, as long as it didn’t affect the family or Zhu Qing, he wouldn’t interfere. It’s simply how things are in today’s society. As the CEO of Zhu Pharmaceuticals, he’s seen it all. Even he himself has had ill-advised relationships.
...
After the talk with Zhu Da, Zhang Xian drove Duan Hong ho in his Benz.
Seeing that Zhang Xian was heading to the university to pick up Zhu Yan, and thus couldn’t stay, she moved closer and asked,"I heard you are going back to Tiandu, is that true?"
Zhang Xian paused before answering, "Yes, things here are almost settled. I should be going back in a few days."
"What about ?" Duan Hong asked.
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and asked, "What do you an by ’what about ’?"
"Are you just going to ditch
after you’ve had your fun?" Duan Hong pouted, "Now that I’m yours, I don’t want to sleep with any other n. What will I do when you’re gone, suffocate?"
Zhang Xian chuckled, "Well, why don’t you co with ?"
Duan Hong replied, "I want to, but I just think it might not be appropriate, I’m afraid your wife might misunderstand."
Zhang Xian said, "She won’t, if you’re really willing to stay, I can find sothing for you to do there. Don’t worry, Uncle Da will look after your company here."
Duan Hong thought for a mont and said, "Alright, I’ll co with you. I don’t have any friends or family here anyway, it’s quite loneso. It would be better to go to Tiandu with you."
...
Zhang Xian walked out of Duan Hong’s house and grabbed a taxi to Tsinghua University.
As he sat in the taxi, he thought about whether or not to take Wen Yulan to Tiandu as well. Leaving such a beauty behind would be a waste.
Most importantly, he had a villa in Tiandu that needed managent. He thought Wen Yulan would be a great candidate and it would be a pity to leave her in Yantai.
"Hmm, I should visit Teacher Wen tonight and see if she’d be interested in coming over."
Zhang Xian pondered, He didn’t want to leave Wen Yulan behind. Not only because it was hard on a woman alone, but also because he saw an opportunity to get closer to her. Comparatively, Teacher Wen is surely not worse than Duan Hong!
Having made up his mind, he arrived at Tsinghua University and made his way to Wen Yulan’s office. However, he found it empty.
Knowing that class was almost over, he went to the classroom instead of searching for Teacher Wen.
Afterall, he knew where Teacher Wen lived, he could just go there later. Maybe by flirting with her a bit and laying on the charm, he might sway her?
"Brother-in-law..."
As classes ended, Zhu Yan ran out of the classroom, grabbing Zhang Xian’s arm and calling him."
"Hmm, let’s go," Zhang Xian smiled and, wrapping an arm around Zhu Yan’s shoulder, made his way towards the campus exit.
At this point, his phone began to ring from inside his pocket.
When he saw the call was from Lin Ruoyi, he hesitated for a mont before answering. "What’s up, Lin? What do you need?"
"Zhang Xian, I’m getting engaged tomorrow."
Zhang Xian was taken aback, "What do you an? How in the world are you getting engaged out of the blue?"
"I don’t want to either, but I... I have no choice."
For so reason, this left him feeling irked. He asked, "Who’s the son of a bitch who dared to contemplate marrying you? Is he tired of living?"
"Zhang Xian, what... what do you an? Am I that loathso? Am I terrible to the point that marrying
equals losing one’s life? You need to make this clear."
Zhang Xian’s smile stiffened. "I didn’t an it that way... I... "
