Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 56 Everyone has their own agenda
Thanks to the Zheng family's meticulous management in Jiangcheng over the years, she didn't need to worry too much. So she focused all her attention on Zheng Kai. However, she never expected that her indulgence would lead Zheng Kai to commit a major disaster and offend someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! If you hadn't spoiled him so much, would he have caused such a terrible disaster!"
Li Qiang was furious. Because of Zheng Kai, he not only lost his job at the Xu Group, but also faced a lawsuit. Over the years, the kickbacks he had taken from the Xu Group amounted to tens of millions of yuan. If this went to court, he would be locked up for life!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang wanted to kick Zheng Kai hard, but even if he killed Zheng Kai now, it would be useless. The Zheng family and he had to survive!
"Why don't we go and apologize to Xu Tian ourselves? As long as we can get him to forgive us, everything will be fine!" Zheng Kai's mother said naively.
Zheng Kai shook his head with a wry smile, "I even knelt down before him today and he still wouldn't budge. Are you going to go and kneel down with my uncle too?"
“Kneeling is better than going bankrupt!” Zheng Kai’s mother continued.
Li Qiang shook his head. Xu Tian had been completely offended, and with the Xu Group backing him up, they were left to figure out how to turn this dead end around.
"Then what do you suggest? If you're not willing to back down, then I'll go myself!" Zheng Kai's mother broke down.
Li Qiang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Now that all business dealings with the Xu Group have been severed, does the company still have any collaborations with other companies?"
Zheng Kai's mother was already in a state of utter confusion and couldn't possibly think about any of this.
"Things have come to this point, you have to think of something for me whether you want to or not!" Li Qiang was furious.
Zheng Kai's mother then spoke, "Apart from the Xu Group's cash flow, almost all the cash flow of companies cooperating with the company has dried up. However, there is one more. Last year, the company had a business deal with Hengtong Group. If it had gone through, it would have brought in about 30 million in revenue. But I'm afraid Hengtong Group might also..."
Li Qiang suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "No wonder the name Xu Tian sounded so familiar. The chairman of Hengtong Group is Xu Tian's ex-wife. It seems they just divorced recently!"
"Hengtong Group has always had close ties with Xu's Group. In the past few years, the cooperation I've handled alone has amounted to hundreds of millions. It seems that Xu Tian is showing off his power by relying on his ex-wife's relationship with Xu's Group!"
Zheng Kai's mother looked at him and said, "But the two are already divorced. Besides, how can Hengtong Group compare to Xu's Group? What's the point of saying all this!"
Li Qiang snorted coldly, "You women are just ignorant!"
"Even though they're divorced, Xu Tian still managed to ruin things for us by leveraging the relationship between Hengtong Group and Xu's Group, didn't he?"
"Oh, Uncle, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me what to do," Zheng Kai said anxiously from the side.
Li Qiang then continued, "I heard that Zhang Qian and Xu Tian's divorce was quite unpleasant. And don't we have business dealings with Hengtong Group? Let me ask you, how much of the profit will Hengtong Group get from this cooperation?"
"A few million."
Li Qiang nodded, "Give all the profits from this deal to Hengtong Group."
"Are you crazy?!" Zheng Kai's mother exclaimed. "The company is already facing bankruptcy, and you want to give away all the profits!"
Li Qiang glared at her with exasperation, "You only care about immediate gains. If you just get along well with Zhang Qian, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to revive the company?"
"Do you think the reason the Xu Group is giving special treatment to the Hengtong Group is just because of Zhang Qian's relationship? In the end, she's just a woman who doesn't understand anything!"
Zheng Kai's mother's eyes lit up, "Really?"
“Of course it’s true. Now, as the company’s chairman, you can make an appointment with Zhang Qian, and I’ll go with you,” Li Qiang said.
Zheng Kai's mother immediately called Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian was overjoyed when she heard the news. Ever since the Xu Group broke off its cooperation with Hengtong Group, she had been pinning her hopes on Xu Tian. Although Xu Tian had promised to speak well of her, she couldn't keep him hanging on forever.
The outside world is unaware of the company's current situation and assumes that Hengtong Group and Xu's Group still maintain a close cooperative relationship, so they give her face in every way. However, if this drags on, the truth will be exposed sooner or later, and the business that she secured with the help of Xu's Group will soon vanish.
If she could cooperate deeply with the Zheng family this time, she wouldn't have to keep begging Xu Tian.
Both sides, each with their own agendas, arranged to meet at a high-end club.
Zheng's mother changed her usual aloof attitude, not only accepting the gift but also being very enthusiastic, which made Zhang Qian feel flattered.
"Our two companies have been cooperating for quite some time now, but we've never arranged to meet. It feels like we've known each other forever today," Zheng's mother said with a smile.
Zhang Qian nodded in agreement, "Actually, I've been wanting to visit you in person for a while, but the company has been too busy since the New Year, so I've put it off until today."
Zheng's mother warmly took Zhang Qian's hand, "I know you're busy. After all, you have business dealings with such a big company as the Xu Group. It's good that you're busy."
Zhang Qian was taken aback for a moment, then gave an awkward smile, "Yes, the Xu Group and our company have been cooperating for so many years, and I've gotten used to being busy with all this."
The two chatted casually, and when the time was right, Li Qiang quickly gave Zheng's mother a wink, and she then brought up the topic.
"Oh right, why didn't I see your husband come along?"
When Xu Tian was mentioned, Zhang Qian's expression changed and her tone became serious. "You don't know, do you? I'm already divorced."
"Oh? Really? This..."
Zheng's mother pretended to be shocked, then said apologetically, "Look at this... I really didn't know, I'm so sorry."
Zhang Qian snorted and laughed, "Divorcing him is only a matter of time. After all, no one wants to live with a good-for-nothing, so you don't need to worry about it."
After glancing at Li Qiang, Zheng's mother nodded. "That's good. We women still have to work hard ourselves."
"Besides, you're so capable, you're practically the Mulan of Jiangcheng!"
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "You flatter me. I will expedite the cooperation with your company. Please rest assured that the divorce will not affect me in any way."
Zheng's mother quickly said, "That's not what I meant. Since I chose to cooperate with you, I naturally trust you wholeheartedly. However, the content of our cooperation may need to be changed."
"You...you mean?"
Zhang Qian panicked. Could it be that even the cooperation with the Zheng family was going to fall through? If they could secure this order, Hengtong Group could earn at least several million yuan by the end of the year.
