"A proper raise As a bonus" Xiaoxue was dumbfounded. She had offended him, yet he was willing to give her a raise

Could it be... this senior vice president has taken an interest in me

Thinking about this possibility made Xiaoxue's pretty face turn red and caused her gaze to shift nervously.

Hmm, although he is a senior vice president, he’s still relatively young and not unattractive. It might be worth considering...

Xiaoxue glanced at Wang Zheng from the corner of her eye as her heart pounded wildly.

Narilan Restaurant.

Wang Zheng entered this high-end Western restaurant once again. Back then, when he first visited and saw a steak priced over five thousand yuan on the menu, it had shocked him.

Even though Wang Dahong was wealthy in the West, he always remained thrifty.

This time, however, having not seen Shishi for quite some time, Wang Zheng prepared to splurge. Holding the menu, he adopted a nouveau riche attitude and told the waiter: "Listen here, bring all your signature dishes."

Shangguan Shishi covered her mouth and laughed: "Others might think you've never been to such a fancy restaurant. You need to be elegant, do you understand"

Wang Zheng closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Don't you think I looked very impressive when I was ordering"

Shangguan Shishi shook her head: "I didn’t feel that it was particularly impressive. By the way, tell me quickly, what did you think of me when we first met"

Seeing the expectant look in Shangguan Shishi’s eyes, Wang Zheng laughed heartily and said, “When I first saw you, you were really noisy.”

Shangguan Shishi immediately felt annoyed: "Noisy How was I noisy"

"When I met you, you complained about my tattered clothes, your floor getting dirty from me stepping on it. When we came to the Nalan restaurant, you deliberately set a trap for me and framed me as Sheng Fei’s boyfriend, pulling a rich second generation's resentment onto me. Tell me, what kind of person were you"

Hearing this, Shangguan Shishi turned and laughed; indeed, she had been like that back then. When she saw Wang Zheng come from the countryside wearing shorts, sleeveless shirt, and sandals, it was clearly uncomfortable for her.

"But a year later, you gave me your first time, second time, and even your first kiss," Wang Zheng laughed heartily.

"No more talk about such things," Shangguan Shishi said with a stern face.

"Alright, no mention of it. Shall we have a good meal today" Wang Zheng looked at Shangguan Shishi and said, "Tonight you should eat plenty, no waste allowed."

Narilan's service was notoriously slow, with a focus on meticulous preparation. Wang Zheng and Shangguan Shishi, bored out of their minds, started taking selfies to pass the time.

"Come on, pout your lips, give me the peace sign, yes, now blink your right eye," said Wang Zheng as he handed his phone over to Shangguan Shishi.

“Is this how it’s done” Following Wang Zheng's instructions, Shangguan Shishi found herself quite endearing in the mirror.

"Here you go, take a look." Handing the phone back to her, Wang Zheng added sarcastically, "They say children with brain damage use exactly this expression for their photos."

“Wang Zheng, I really want to stab you to death with this fork,” Shangguan Shishi was seething.

When the dishes finally arrived, Wang Zheng put a small piece of beef in his mouth and savored its rich aroma. “By the way, have you found out who's behind that share sale”

A short while ago, Shangguan Qinglang had sold off ten percent of JuRong’s shares together with Shangguan Yingli et al. Although it was only ten percent, given the company's vast size, this was no small matter—it could even alter the trajectory of the Shangguan family.

Originally, JuRong International belonged to the Shangguan family’s financial empire. Now that a significant chunk had been sold off, it was like someone punching a hole in an iron plate—left unchecked, this gap would only grow larger over time.

"The guy you recommended, Levandowski, really pulled through for us. Initially, I tried to contact the Aven Property Group to buy back those shares, but they ignored me entirely. Turns out that Levandowski has business ties with them; many of his family’s operations in Australia and America are managed by the Aven Group."

"Did that guy use his influence to pressure them" Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly—apparently, this enigmatic individual was more helpful than he initially thought.

"Yes." A glint of light flashed in Shishi's beautiful eyes: "Le萬多夫冇有說什麼話,直接終止了奧本財團的代理資格，在美洲另尋代理商。這讓奧本財團高層急壞了，要知道每年與萊萬家族的合作可以支撐起奧本財團百分之三十的收入。所以當萊萬采取這個行動之後，奧本財團的高層慌了。”

"What happened later" Wang Zheng asked with a smile, sensing that things shouldn't be as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"There was someone pulling strings from behind the scenes." Shishi said, aiming to shock.

"Someone pulling strings Are you saying there are people directing the actions of the O'Brian Trust"

"Indeed. After Le萬多夫施壓，奧本財團的高層立刻慌了，並試圖立即退還巨融股份。但在中間經曆了一些波折。具體發生了什麼我不清楚，但半個月之後，他們最終同意以原價回購我們的股份。據說幕後那個合作者並不願意退股，但雙方誰也指揮不了誰，最後還是奧本財團還了錢。萊萬多夫的這一手可以說非常漂亮，不僅拿回了股份，更讓對方的合作關係破裂。”

"Who has such influence to command the O'Brian Trust to acquire shares of Juru " Wang Zheng's eyes narrowed dangerously. He originally thought this was a unilateral action by the O'Brien Trust, but didn't expect there to be so many underlying secrets.

"We must uncover who is pulling strings behind the scenes." said Wang Zheng.

"I've tried, but it hasn’t been very effective." Shishi said somewhat vexed. "Whenever this mysterious director contacts the O'Brian Trust, they never appear in person but send an assistant to handle everything. Sometimes even on video calls, their face doesn't show."

"Then how did the O'Brien Trust believe him Acquiring shares of Juru is a huge and risky business deal. How could those in charge at the O'Brien Trust act so rashly without knowing who this mysterious collaborator was" Wang Zheng asked with slight puzzlement, taking a sip of his coffee.

"This person once provided substantial benefits to the O'Brian Trust in China. What exactly the benefit was I'm not sure, but we did have successful cooperation beforehand." Shishi said, furrowing her brow slightly. "A formidable figure, who operates with absolute precision and leaves no trace for others to follow." Yafeng said with a smile. "But I can’t resist it; the thrilling sensation of speed is too addictive. I have a manly heart."Wang Zheng smiled and tightened his seatbelt. "Alright, only you are so manl...
