Chapter 157: Give Me a Straightforward Answer

“Stop flattering me.” Elder Zhuang could not help but smile at his lively and adorable granddaughter. “There’s no use in flattering me. Grandpa won’t help you cheat.”

“I don’t need you to help me cheat, Grandpa!” Zhuang Yu clenched her small fists to cheer herself on. “Since we agreed that it is a fair compet.i.tion, I will definitely beat Zhuang Li fair and square and make him completely accept his loss!”

“He’s your cousin.” Elder Zhuang tapped her forehead, but there was a hint of gratification in his tone. “You have ambition. Your personality is like mine. Work hard. Grandpa is looking forward to the day you win.”

“I knew it…” Zhuang Yu smiled slyly. “Grandpa is also more optimistic about the development of the west side of the city, right?”

“Silly girl, you want to sound out my opinion?” Elder Zhuang smiled mysteriously and picked up the teacup on the coffee table. He said, “Stop dreaming, go do your thing.”

“Grandpa, just you wait and see!” Zhuang Yu stood up with the bag in her hand and patted her chest confidently. “I will definitely win this compet.i.tion fair and square!”

In the blink of an eye, the cold wave arrived. The first snowfall fell as soon as it was announced. This year’s winter seemed to be particularly cold. The first snowfall was heavy, and large patches of snow fell. After one night, the entire city was covered in white, as though it was a dream.

However, Ji Mei was not in the mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery. She was so busy that she was in a terrible state. The goods that had been intercepted previously were not allowed to go through, and misfortunes never come alone. There were problems with the handover party again, and Ji Mei was busy on both ends. She felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar. Due to the lack of funds, she could only brave the heavy snow and look for Shen Hanxing again.

“Hanxing, give me a straightforward answer.” Ji Mei’s brows were filled with anxiety as she urged, “Are you going to invest or not? If you keep delaying, CEO Cheng will be irritated. You have to know that there are many people who want to invest in CEO Cheng. He is only pushing the other investments away to wait for you because of me. But if you keep delaying, how am I going to face CEO Cheng?”

“Auntie, don’t be anxious,” Shen Hanxing chuckled. Her beautiful eyes were filled with naivety. “I don’t lack money, and it’s not that I don’t want to invest either. It’s just that… I think CEO Cheng should show some sincerity, right?”

“What do you mean?” Ji Mei’s face twitched.

Under Shen Hanxing’s clear gaze, Ji Mei felt as if she had been completely seen through. For a moment, Ji Mei actually had the intention to retreat, but she had no way out.

Cheng Songyang had invested a lot of money recently in order to take the East City project. Not only was he unable to share her worries and provide financial a.s.sistance, he even reached out and asked for a big sum of money from her. The money collected from the charity gala the last time was almost all spent, but the weather got colder. It was time for her to send the supplies to the mountain area. However, the goods were held back again… And the mountain area kept rushing her… This was truly a situation of ‘it never rains but it pours’. Ji Mei had no other way out.

“Auntie, don’t you understand?” Shen Hanxing looked at her. After a long while, Shen Hanxing smiled. “The company’s accounts, project planning, and the company’s financial projections… Don’t you think you should at least show these to me? Just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean you can’t show these doc.u.ments to me, right?”

That was all she wanted? Ji Mei let out a long breath and smiled. “And here I thought it was about something very big and serious. Of course, these doc.u.ments should be shown to you. When you have time, let’s go to CEO Cheng’s company to take a look. After that, we’ll sign the contract?” As Ji Mei spoke, she covered the disdain in her eyes. These doc.u.ments were all done up when Ji Mei had decided to drag Shen Hanxing down.

Shen Hanxing was just an id*ot who hadn’t even graduated from high school. Even if Ji Mei were to put the problematic accounts in front of her, Shen Hanxing probably wouldn’t be able to see the problem.

“That sounds good,” Shen Hanxing nodded. She looked very satisfied as she said, “I don’t understand these things, and I don’t like to look at these gibberish doc.u.ments either. When the time comes, I’ll bring my a.s.sistant, Han Qi, and our company’s newly recruited finance staff to take a look. Auntie, you don’t have any objections to that, right?”

“No objections, of course, I have no objections.” Ji Mei’s smile was very bright. She said with a smile, “Then shall we set the date and time?” She had already inquired about Shen Hanxing’s so-called investment company, the employees of the company were all unknown. There were even quite a number of newbies. Most of them were Han Qi’s cla.s.smates. They probably came in through the backdoor to get the job.

However, this group of people was quite lucky. The company had invested in a few small projects and made some money. The company was running very well, but Ji Mei felt that these were just superficial things. These were merely trivial accomplishments. The fake accounts that she had hired professionals to do were not something that the useless people in Shen Hanxing’s company could see through.
