Interfering in the Company

Xia Yu agreed, but repeatedly told Kong Hanyue that he couldn't guarantee a solution.

"It's definitely not going to be resolved by Ze Ze. You should give it a try." Kong Hanyue had a strange confidence in Xia Yu.

She arranged Xia Yu's schedule: "Ze Ze hasn't gotten up yet. When he gets up, I'll talk to him and ask him to take you to the company."

"Please help me ask for a leave from school," Xia Yu said.

"Alright!" Kong Hanyue happily left the room.

Xia Yu also got up, got out of bed, and started changing his clothes.

Picking up his phone, he glanced at the time. It was 6:30 in the morning, and Zhong Yunze usually got up at 7:00.

Wait, if Zhong Yunze hasn't gotten up yet, that means Kong Hanyue heard Zhong Yunze's phone call last night.

How could he have waited until morning to come and find me? When did Kong Hanyue become so considerate?

Thinking about how Xue and her were sleeping together, Xia Yu knew the answer.

As long as there was nothing wrong with Kong Hanyue, it was fine.

After getting dressed and washing up, Xia Yu knocked on Zhong Yunze's door.

If Kong Hanyue had directly mentioned Zhong Yunze to let him solve the company's problem, Zhong Yunze would find it ridiculous. He wouldn't think an outsider could solve it.

Next, Kong Hanyue insisted that they might have a conflict, even if Zhong Yunze didn't dare to get angry with Kong Hanyue, he would definitely involve some anger on himself.

This plot needed to be corrected.

After knocking twice, Zhong Yunze, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door for Xia Yu, looking a bit haggard.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yunze looked at Xia Yu.

"Your phone call last night was overheard by mom," Xia Yu said.

"Ah? I specifically called when she wasn't around last night!" Zhong Yunze's sleepiness vanished. He didn't want Kong Hanyue to worry about the company's affairs.

"The reason is not important. What's important is that because of last night's incident, mom came to me and asked for my help."

"Can you help?" Zhong Yunze briefly believed it but immediately felt unreliable.

"How can I help? You know mom's personality. To be frank, even middle school students nowadays know more than her," Xia Yu began elaborating.

Zhong Yunze nodded in agreement.

"I used to be able to help her with small problems, so she feels like I can solve even the company's issues. But I don't have that ability, do I?" Xia Yu's face showed a bitter expression.

Zhong Yunze nodded. He had completely fallen into Xia Yu's rhythm.

"I told her on the spot that I couldn't do it, but she didn't believe me and insisted that I go," Xia Yu continued.

"I understand. I understand." Zhong Yunze continued nodding. He contemplated and said, "Old people and children are both very stubborn. At times like these, all we need to do is coax them."

Seeing Zhong Yunze said what he wanted, Xia Yu smiled, "That's what I think too. So, let's just put on a show."

"Alright." Zhong Yunze agreed. The company was already in a mess, and he couldn't let his mother be unhappy too.

"There are also mom's informants in the company. Remember not to let anything slip," Xia Yu needed a proper identity to start investigating.

"I'll just say you're a specially invited professional." Patting Xia Yu's shoulder, Zhong Yunze's goodwill towards Xia Yu increased by another level.

The act of deceiving their parents together was a manifestation of brotherly affection.

"Alright, I'm leaving," Xia Yu walked towards the door after successfully fooling everyone.

"Wait," Zhong Yunze stopped Xia Yu and said affectionately, "Thank you, Xia Yu."

Watching Xia Yu's retreating figure, Zhong Yunze showed a smile. The two sons lied with good intentions to make their mother happy; what a touching family bond!

Changing his clothes, he went out to wash up and then went downstairs.

Kong Hanyue, who was waiting for him downstairs, immediately agreed after hearing about Xia Yu's "expertise."

"Well then, take care, my dear brothers." Kong Hanyue waved goodbye to the two sons.

Out of the house, Zhong Yunze said to Xia Yu, "Let's go to the teahouse first and meet Uncle An."

Xia Yu was surprised to find that he would get to meet An Tianfeng again.

The two of them got into the chauffeur-driven car, and they arrived at the teahouse.

They sat at an empty table for five minutes, then An Tianfeng arrived.

This was the first time Xia Yu was meeting An Tianfeng using his own body.

He sized up An Tianfeng: the man was of average height, with a sturdy and athletic body, spirited appearance, but his expression was a bit awkward.

An Tianfeng originally thought it would be easy to handle the issues with the Zhong family's company, but he never expected it to be so difficult. The traitor turned out to be so cunning and wouldn't take the bait.

The more mysterious Zhong Yunze and Xia Yu had been in the past, the more embarrassed they were now. An Tianfeng felt uneasy as soon as he saw Zhong Yunze.

Sitting in front of Zhong Yunze, An Tianfeng looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my brother." After introducing Xia Yu, Zhong Yunze reintroduced An Tianfeng.

Xia Yu exchanged pleasantries with An Tianfeng and then excused himself to the restroom, leaving the table.

He did this to give An Tianfeng and Zhong Yunze some space, allowing Zhong Yunze to try deceiving An Tianfeng with the same scheme he used on him.

Three minutes later, Xia Yu returned to the table, and Zhong Yunze had already completed the deceit.

An Tianfeng nodded at him with a smile.

Although Xia Yu was an unexpected addition, An Tianfeng didn't feel displeased. On the contrary, he even admired him a bit.

From Zhong Yunze's words, he concluded that Xia Yu was a young man with self-awareness, filial piety, and good interpersonal skills.

Most importantly, Xia Yu had self-awareness and admitted that he couldn't handle the situation on his own.

How could an outsider solve a problem that even I couldn't?

He looked at Xia Yu again, who was handsome and about the same age as his daughter, meeting only two of the criteria.

Shifting his attention back to the Zhong family's company, An Tianfeng said to Zhong Yunze, "The project has already been handed over to that other company, and it's irreversible. Just let it go. The outside business world is treacherous; you should do as before and work with my family's company!"

An Tianfeng's intention was to return the Zhong family's company to its previous state of dependency on the An Group.

This might be a good thing for the company's development, providing stability, but Zhong Yunze couldn't be happy about it.

Because it would mean admitting defeat and withdrawing from the competition.

What was even more important was that he found out that the Uncle An he admired was not really a powerful figure.

If it weren't for An Tianfeng's several plans, the company wouldn't have lost so thoroughly.

One operation was as fierce as a tiger, but it only ended up assisting the opponent.

"I'll think about it some more," said Zhong Yunze, feeling dejected.

"Alright, I'll be back in Yao Guang next week, and you can call me anytime."

After making the promise, An Tianfeng ate a few bites of dim sum and hurriedly left the teahouse.

Not only Zhong Yunze, but An Tianfeng himself also felt like he was admitting defeat and leaving the field, unable to maintain his dignity.

As a famous entrepreneur in the area, he had actually met his Waterloo in a small company called Zilong.

However, it wasn't because Old An lacked ability, but because the traitor was too cunning!

If it were someone else, even a reincarnated Buddha wouldn't be able to solve this problem!
