Chapter 1084: An Affair
It was only at this moment that Xu Feng realized the woman in front of her was quite the sly schemer.
She didn’t come all the way here to express her concern about his identity nor was she here to talk about Zhao Kai’s achievement.
Instead, she was here for herself.
No wonder she suddenly brought up her grandfather. With his clear disdain toward her family, he was bound to inquire about her two eldest brothers.
And even if he didn’t, Zhao Xin would have made sure to manipulate the conversation into them later on. Once that was done, she would then drop the bomb about them being related to the Necro Alliance.
"You want to borrow a knife to kill, huh?" Xu Feng gazed at her and asked skeptically. There shouldn’t be a need for Zhao Xin to require his hands to eliminate her two eldest brothers though.
They were kicked out of the company, and now, they should barely be welcomed into the family for selling trade secrets.
"Those two disappointing brothers of mine are still cherished by my grandfather." Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and continued, "Some men still believe in having sons to continue the family line and not women. I may have the company control now, but it’s not legalized in the court documents."
To summarize, she was in an acting position only, one that wasn’t permanent.
And in the business world, it was a major disadvantage because of a hostile takeover. Without holding the actual shares, Zhao Xin was in jeopardy.
"How critical were the trade secrets that you lost the shareholders’ trust as well?" Xu Feng inquired.
He realized she was trying to downplay the incident, but since she went out of her way to seek him for the matter. It was clear that she wanted to make a clean cut—one that was determined to ruin her two eldest brothers.
"It’s not just about the critical aspect." Zhao Xin shook her head and clarified, "Zhao Heng retrieved the trade secret by having an affair with a major shareholder, who then used the woman to steal the information. After having completed the deed, he even sent intimate photos between them and thanked the major shareholder for being such a good man."
"..."
Speechless, Xu Feng was unable to believe how such a person could be born into a wealthy family. Or maybe one needed to be such scum to be qualified to be born in a wealthy family.
"So Zhao Heng did such an act, and your grandfather still wishes to protect him?"
"Not just protect him. He even plans to give out some shares to the person as compensation."
"And the person agrees to it?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. As a man, if some bastard dared to bang his wife behind his back and proceeded to provoke him further with intimate pictures. Then he wouldn’t care about some stupid shares. Instead, he would go full berserk and ruin the bastard for eternity.
"That’s the concerning part." Zhao Xin suddenly bit her lips and frowned.
"I’ve verified the matter, and it’s true. The wife that Zhao Heng rendezvoused with was indeed true, and she had been married for 2 decades. But the husband demanded shares to bury the hatchet."
"Either the husband is a cuck and cares only for money, or they colluded together to scam the shares." Xu Feng sneered coolly. This was the kind of business transaction he disdained the most. No, it had already gone beyond the boundary of business.
"Seems like you’re on the same page with me regarding this aspect." Zhao Xin commented when she saw his reaction.
Although Xu Feng could control his expression most of the time, there were bound to be exceptions. And this particular one was something he didn’t bother to control.
"So who was the major shareholder’s name?" Xu Feng asked.
"It’s Mr. Li, full name Li Ping Shan." Zhao Xin replied and continued, "Mr. Li is a seasoned investor and has invested in many companies. His connection is vast, and it’s not surprising for him to have business ties with your supposed enemies."
A seasoned investor could be summarized in one word: profiteer.
Where there was profit, they would wag their little dog tails over and disregard everything, including friendships.
However, this Mr. Li sure went above and beyond to even forgo close family, such as his wife.
As if knowing what was on his mind, Zhao Xin explained, "There have been many instances that Mr. Li was seen in our hotels with young models. Those models were then propelled into the film industry."
Needless to say, the models slept with Mr. Li in return for opportunities in the entertainment industry.
It was the most common event in the entertainment industry, so Xu Feng waited for her to continue.
Sure enough, the next clarification was mind-boggling.
"Shortly after their activity, Mr. Li’s wife would arrive at the scene and head up to his room to bring him new clothes to wear."
"..."
This Mr. Li was indeed impressive.
Cheating so openly and even had his wife bring him new clothes to wear. He highly doubted the wife didn’t know about the cheating either.
"Hah, if the wife is treated in such a manner, I’m more amazed that she hadn’t fled or cheated with another man sooner." Xu Feng shook his head.
"Well, she did, and the timing couldn’t be any better." Zhao Xin scoffed and found the incident very suspicious. She refused to let the shares be handed over because of this ridiculous affair.
"So what bright ideas do you suggest?"
"My little brother isn’t scheming enough, and he probably wouldn’t listen to much of my words. I hope that you can convince him to ask for some shares of the company from his grandfather when we arrive."
In other instances, Zhao Kai would surely adhere to her words, but when it comes to family, he was as stubborn as a cow.
"I just knew you wouldn’t be so caring all of a sudden." Xu Feng clicked his tongue.
