CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 387: CAN’T BE BROTHERS WITH OUTLAW ZHANG SAN!

"Alright," the assistant responded and continued, "President Xu, that boy who blacklisted us a while ago came over and said he wants to see you."

Xu Nianying furrowed his brows, "Zheng He?"

"Right, it’s him."

Xu Nianying suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Everyone who should come has come, as long as Chen Xixi leaves Zhou Jinyuan, then he could make the Chen Family disappear completely!

If it weren’t for the Chen Family, their family wouldn’t have suffered such a great loss this time, and he was definitely going to settle this account with the Chen Family!

As for the Zhou Family, since his cousin married into it and got a hold on Zhou Jinyuan, isn’t the Zhou Family then at the mercy of their Xu Family?

Xu Nianying’s lips slightly curled upwards, "Let him in."

The assistant couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of backing does this Zheng He have to make President Xu indulge him so unconditionally?

The assistant brought Zheng He to the president’s office.

Today, to meet Xu Nianying, Zheng He specifically spent 3,000 yuan at a specialty store to buy a suit.

Originally, he was reluctant to spend so much money on clothing, but thinking that it could also be used for future business dealings, he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Zheng He looked nervously at the office, which evidently belonged to someone wealthy.

He, a commoner, had hardly ever come in close contact with such tycoons.

Even though he had been on a romance reality show with President Zhou before, he didn’t have much chance to interact with President Zhou; it was all Chen Xixi interacting, and he was extremely envious!

But now he finally had this opportunity!

Zheng He was extremely excited inside!

He pretended to be composed on the surface, but his inexperienced eyes couldn’t help glancing around uncontrollably.

Look at that antique porcelain vase, look at that famous ink painting, look at that gold-edged jade ornament... Tsk tsk, so grand, so stylish!

He wanted an office like this in the future too!

Xu Nianying watched Zheng He looking around, clearly inexperienced, and a hint of disdainful amusement appeared in his eyes. He lazily leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and asked, "What brings you here?"

Zheng He was brought back from the grandeur of the workplace, looked at Xu Nianying, and put on a flattering smile, "Since Dingxin Media went under, I currently don’t have a job, so I was wondering if you might have any suitable work for me."

At the end, Zheng He didn’t forget to add the crucial line taught by Chen Xixi, "I have a good relationship with Chen Xixi!"

Xu Nianying laughed: "I know your relationship is quite good."

"So, what do you think..."

Xu Nianying got straight to the point: "I actually have a big business deal I want to discuss with you."

Zheng He looked at Xu Nianying with keen interest, "What kind of big business?"

If this were a phone call, Zheng He would definitely have resolutely refused.

But now this was Haisong Group’s heir, Xu Nianying, personally discussing with him, could this be false?

Xu Nianying said, "I want you to make Chen Xixi disappear from the spotlight forever."

Zheng He was dumbfounded!

Ah? This was not at all what he had imagined!

He had imagined that based on Chen Xixi’s face, Xu Nianying would make him a vice president or department manager in Haisong Group.

How could this involve harming Chen Xixi?

Zheng He thought for a moment, and seemed to finally understand the situation.

It meant Xu Nianying and Chen Xixi had a grudge, and he was a crucial piece in determining the outcome between them.

Zheng He also suddenly realized, the so-called help from Chen Xixi before was actually using him all along to get back at Xu Nianying!

But, Zheng He had already been roped into Chen Xixi’s schemes and couldn’t back out now.

Because of his involvement in sabotaging Dingxin Media, Chen Xixi was the only one who knew.

If he sided with Xu Nianying, once Chen Xixi exposed him, then after Xu Nianying got his revenge on Chen Xixi, he would likely seek revenge on him too.

No, he needed to think of a win-win self-preservation method now; he couldn’t be their pawn anymore!

Zheng He collected his thoughts and confidently spoke, "That’s simple! What’s in it for me?"

"Thirty million."

Zheng He pondered for a moment: "It’s about a living person, it seems a bit little."

Xu Nianying laughed disdainfully, underestimating this fool who still dared to bargain, "Add one more digit."

Zheng He thought about it, then boldly demanded, "I want a billion! That amount of money shouldn’t be anything for Haisong Group, right?"

You can’t negotiate without asking for something big!

Xu Nianying smiled cheerfully and said, "Once the deed is done, I’ll have someone transfer the money to your account."

No matter how much money Zheng He wants, he will give it, but whether he can get it depends on Zheng He’s own abilities.

After all, the Xu Family’s money is not easy to get, otherwise Hu Qifeng wouldn’t have jumped the wall in desperation when he couldn’t get any benefits back then.

Zheng He was quite dissatisfied with Xu Nianying’s straightforwardness.

Because Xu Nianying agreed too readily, so readily that Zheng He thought he had asked for too little, feeling like he should have asked for ten billion!

But it doesn’t matter; he can find another opportunity to raise the price later!

After finalizing the deal, Zheng He turned around and left the office.

As soon as Zheng He’s front foot stepped out, Xu Nianying picked up a recording pen from his desk, pressed the pause button, and glared ominously toward the door, "Want a billion? Go dream in prison!"

After the deed is done, he plans to edit the recording and use it as evidence of extortion to hand over to the police.

Zheng He exited the Haisong Group building and immediately called Chen Xixi in a very irritated tone, "Didn’t you say you had influence in Haisong Group?"

Chen Xixi, who was looking at a script, replied casually, "Don’t I have influence?"

"What influence! Do you have a grudge against Xu Nianying?"

"Never mind about grudges. Did you manage to make a large sum of money from Xu Nianying?"

Zheng He paused for a moment: "Do you know what he asked me to do?"

"He asked me to disappear."

Zheng He was momentarily surprised. How smart was Chen Xixi, as if she knew everything? Quite impressive, this cheeky girl!

After a moment, Zheng He suddenly suggested seriously, "Why don’t you move behind the scenes? Stop acting."

Chen Xixi: "?"

Zheng He: "He asked me to make you disappear in front of the camera; if you transition behind the scenes, I can settle it immediately. It’s perfect since you want to be a boss anyway. It’s inconvenient for you to keep acting. After all, there are so many matters in the company waiting for you to handle."

Chen Xixi raised her eyebrows; she didn’t expect Zheng He to be quite nice.

She couldn’t help but curiously ask, "You don’t want me to disappear?"

What Xu Nianying meant by disappearing was definitely not just letting her move behind the scenes.

If it were the old days, Zheng He would be the first to jump at such a chance, but it was unexpected that he would just tell her all his plans now.

Had Zheng He turned over a new leaf and decided to redeem himself?

Or did he suddenly take the wrong medication?

Zheng He spoke earnestly, "I definitely don’t want to go to prison and eat prison meals!"

Those lessons the police had enforced previously were certainly not for nothing!

He needed to reform himself; he couldn’t keep jumping back and forth on the edge of the law, becoming comrades with the lawless Zhang San!

Any illegal activities, don’t even think about getting him involved!

Chen Xixi pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a bit sorry for Zheng He turning out this way.

But she couldn’t fully trust Zheng He’s words.

However bad Zheng He was, he was not a strictly honest person.

Because Zheng He always acted out of self-interest; he would never do something that didn’t benefit him.

Chen Xixi: "I got it. In the future, whatever Xu Nianying asks you to do, you must tell me everything. Xu Nianying has already framed many scapegoats this year. Be careful."

Regardless of Zheng He’s ulterior motives, they were still in this together now.

At this moment, Zheng He did have ulterior motives. As long as Chen Xixi moved behind the scenes, if he got the chance to appear on variety shows again, he wouldn’t have any competitors; how great.

As for being a scapegoat, he wouldn’t hover on the edge of the law. He didn’t believe he could still be framed!

Chen Xixi asked on the phone, "What benefits did he offer you?"

Zheng He casually replied, "He’s giving me a job."

Now he had learned to be smart; he couldn’t tell Chen Xixi everything. He had to be cautious of her a bit!

Otherwise, if Chen Xixi held more and more leverage over him, what would he do if Chen Xixi claimed credit and wanted to carve up his money!

Especially with a billion on the line!
