Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 82 The company is yours!
The Zhao Group holds a pivotal position in Jiangcheng, and the reason Zhang Qian was willing to share this lucrative opportunity with Zhao Lei was simply because she coveted the massive Zhao Group behind him.
But as long as Zhao Lei can grow through this collaboration and shed his image as a carefree playboy in Jiangcheng, Zhao Pengfei will turn a blind eye and give Zhang Qian some benefits.
Most importantly, this project is led by the Xu Group, and through the cooperation, he will also be able to interact with Chu Lan. Therefore, he is very satisfied with Zhao Lei's approach this time.
"Zhao Lei, Zhang Qian, let's have a drink."
Zhao Pengfei raised his glass, and the two quickly stood up to clink glasses with him before drinking it all in one gulp.
“My son is definitely the best,” Zhao Pengfei praised.
Zhao Lei glanced smugly at Zhao Jing and Xu Tian, who had been sitting on the sidelines since the meal began.
"Dad, does this mean I've indirectly completed my mission, and the company shares you promised me..."
Zhao Jing was taken aback, and before Zhao Pengfei could speak, she suddenly stood up.
"It's not like your company won the bid, so why should you be the one to claim it?"
Zhao Pengfei looked displeased. "Jingjing, sit down and talk properly. You have a company, after all. Can't you even handle something as simple as this?"
Zhao Jing pouted and sat down, swallowing her anger.
Zhang Qian watched from the side and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Will you end up like this too?
Associating with Xu Tian will inevitably lead to being ignored and forgotten!
Zhao Lei said sarcastically, "If you don't have the ability, who can you blame?"
"You and Qianqian are best friends, how come you never ask others for advice? You only know how to make stupid mistakes when it comes to matters between men and women!"
"You're a girl, and you've had enough relationships to fill a football team, haven't you? You change girlfriends every few days, and you don't care about your family's reputation at all."
Zhao Jing gave a forced smile, "What business is it of yours if I'm in a relationship? Even if you don't date, I haven't seen you lack top models in bed."
"Jingjing! How can you talk like that? Is that something a girl should say?"
Zhao's mother stopped Zhao Jing in a deep voice.
Zhao Jing was already used to this.
It was clearly Zhao Lei who was provoking Zhao Jing at every turn, but Zhao Pengfei did nothing and let his mother scold Zhao Jing.
Xu Tian saw all of this, but it was a family matter, and he couldn't stand up for Zhao Jing.
“Zhao Jing, I know you have a prejudice against Zhao Lei, but he is still your brother. Aren’t you going a bit too far by saying that?” Zhang Qian spoke up at this moment.
"What business is it of yours, an outsider, about my family's affairs? Why are you being so nosy!" Zhao Jing retorted.
She knew Zhang Qian wanted to see her make a fool of herself, and to make matters worse, Zhang Qian was making smacking noises. She couldn't stand that.
"Guests are guests, you mustn't talk to them like that," Zhao's mother scolded.
Zhang Qian could only smile when she heard this. Although her face didn't look good, she felt very comfortable inside.
"Mr. Zhao, I was able to win the bid this time thanks to Zhao Lei's help. He gave me a lot of advice."
Zhang Qian looked at Zhao Lei and smiled.
Zhao Lei paused for a second, then quickly realized what was going on and agreed. The two of them chatted back and forth, making Zhao Pengfei very happy, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.
"Hey Xu Tian, aren't you and Chu Lan on good terms? Xu Sheng Group didn't win the bid this time, didn't you ask her about it?"
After disgusting Zhao Jing, Zhao Lei wanted to disgust him next.
Xu Tian laughed and said, "There are rules to doing business, and I'm sure you know them better than I do."
Zhao Pengfei nodded. "That's true."
Zhao Lei was unwilling to give up so easily. He couldn't let Xu Tian get away with it so easily, so he decided to divorce Zhang Qian.
"Dad, you don't know, do you? Xu Tian and Zhang Qian just got divorced not long ago."
After these words were spoken, even Zhao's mother couldn't explain it away. How could Zhao Lei bring up something that would embarrass everyone?
Zhang Qian's expression changed slightly; she felt somewhat guilty and blamed Zhao Lei for his recklessness.
"Does that mean the two of you before..." Zhao Pengfei was very surprised.
Before Zhang Qian could explain, Xu Tian spoke up, "Getting married and divorced is perfectly normal these days. But Zhao Lei, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Do you have feelings for my ex-wife?"
“You…” Zhao Lei was unable to refute for a moment.
"Nonsense! Marriage is a major life event, and you bear the responsibility for the future of the Zhao Group. How can you treat it so lightly?"
Zhao Pengfei's words made Zhang Qian's face even uglier. Wasn't he implying that the Zhao family would never allow Zhao Lei to date someone like her who was divorced? He hadn't given her any face at all!
But she couldn't make a scene, so she could only drink some water to ease the embarrassment on her face.
Zhao Lei regretted it at this moment. He only wanted to annoy Xu Tian, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.
"Dad, I didn't mean that. Zhang Qian and I are just business partners right now, right, Zhang Qian?"
Upon seeing that Zhao Lei had even changed how he addressed her, using his full name, Zhang Qian could only nod and clarify their relationship.
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. My failed marriage with Xu Tian has always served as a warning to me, so I'm not thinking about personal matters right now."
Zhao Pengfei was satisfied with Zhang Qian's explanation, but seeing that it was getting more and more outrageous, he quickly changed the subject to work.
"There is still a project in the development zone that has not been developed due to human factors. Even the Xu Group can't do anything about it, which is a big headache for the government."
Without a second thought, Zhao Lei said, “What’s so difficult about that? They’re just some incompetent commoners. If you ask me, it’s because they’re too timid and hesitant in their actions.”
He had only been praised a few times, and he was already getting cocky. Hearing such mindless remarks, Zhao Pengfei's smile almost disappeared.
"The nation is founded on the people, and that's precisely why the government doesn't dare to make drastic changes," Xu Tian said with a smile.
Zhao Pengfei nodded, his admiration for Xu Tian deepening even further.
"Dad, what you're saying is the same thing I've been busy with lately!"
After a long period of silence, Zhao Jing finally got her chance.
"Oh?"
Zhao Pengfei was astonished. "Tell me about it."
Zhao Jing explained her and Xu Tian's thoughts one by one. Xu Tian couldn't stop her, so he had no choice but to listen to her.
"Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. If even the government can't handle this, how could you possibly have a solution?"
"He really thinks he's Zhuge Liang!"
"Zhao Jing, are you so jealous and anxious because you see me?"
Zhao Jing rolled her eyes at him. "Dad, I'm telling the truth. If we can win over those people, Xu Tian and I will take over all the projects in that area!"
Zhao Pengfei looked at the two men with suspicion and remained silent.
Even with Zhao Jing's repeated assurances, he remained unconvinced.
"I think you're really obsessed with getting shares. If you're really that capable, I'll give you my company." Zhao Lei said with a mocking expression.
"Are you serious?" Zhao Jing asked back.
"Really, Dad is my witness today. If they really win that project, I'll give up my company and give it to you for free!" Zhao Lei clearly took it as a joke.
Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Pengfei with a serious expression, waiting to see what he would say.
Zhao Pengfei had been eyeing this lucrative opportunity for a long time, but even the Xu Group was helpless against it, let alone him.
“Okay, as long as you can take it, I will give you your brother’s company and also promise you 10% of the shares of the Zhao Group.”
Zhang Qian laughed and said, "I'm afraid you have a big appetite and won't be able to finish this bowl of rice."
Just as everyone was making fun of Zhao Jing, Xu Tian received a call from Zhang Wei, and he cleverly turned on speakerphone.
"Xu Tian, you need to come to the development zone tomorrow. We'll sign the contract on the spot. Only you can handle the projects in the development zone!"
