“Sister, it’s fine if you don’t want to admit it.” Shen Sisi bit her lips and said in a pitiful voice, “Mr. Ji is right here. It’s useless for you to scold me when you owe Mr. Ji an explanation.”
“Filthy people think that everything they see is filthy.” Since Ji Yan appeared, his eyes had been fixed on Shen Hanxing. It was only now that he gave a bit of his attention away. His black eyes were cold as he looked at Shen Sisi and asked, ‘Miss Shen Sisi’s thoughts are so filthy. Is it because you do this often?” Shen Sisi face turned pale as she suspected Ji Yan knew what she had done. No, it was impossible for him to know about her private life. Ji Yan was an aloof and noble person who didn’t care about anything. Why would he pay attention to her love life? However, Shen Sisi was indeed two-timing, so she inevitably felt guilty. When her eyes met his dark pupils, she felt her hands and feet turn cold.
Shen Hanxing chuckled and turned to Ji Yan. “Why is Mr. Ji here?” She did not look nervous at all and communicated with Ji Yan as normal. “Aren’t you busy at work today?”
“At Mr. Lu’s invitation, I’m here to take over some of Lu Corporation’s assets.” Ji Yan’s demeanor softened like a tamed lion when he turned his eyes on Shen Hanxing. He looked at her attentively and explained, “Mr. Lu has gone into the house. I saw the chauffeur waiting for you at the gate, so I came here to look for you.”
Take over Lu Corporation’s assets? When she thought about the project that had just started, Shen Hanxing understood. This project must be very lucrative, or Lu Guo wouldn’t have gone all in. It was just that the investment was also substantial. With Lu Guo as the precedent, those who were not capable would not dare to take such a risk, and those who were capable would not touch such a problematic project. Moreover, most businesspeople were superstitious. A project that brought down an entire company surely wasn’t auspicious. Ji Corporation was rich and powerful, and Ji Yan never believed in such things so he was indeed the best candidate to take it over.
Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu were not innocent people. There were quality problems with their project and they evaded taxes. The higher-ups had yet to liquidate everything the Lu family owned.
“Mr. Lu?” Shen Hanxing was more curious about the person who came with Ji Yan. “Lu Jin?” The only person who might be involved in the liquidation of assets bearing the Lu surname would be Lu Jin.
“Yes, it’s him.” Ji Yan’s eyes were slightly cold as he continued plainly, “After settling the Lu Corporation, we will deal with it together with Changhe Foreign Trade Company.”
Changhe? Shen Hanxing’s eyes lit up. After the last banquet she attended with an invitation, Lu Jin had been quiet. She thought that she would not be able to get the foreign trade company that Ji Mei used to run!
Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan understood each other well. In just a few words, they exchanged an enormous among of information. Shen Sisi did not understand the tacit understanding between them, but she keenly caught another point. “Take over Lu Corporation’s assets? What has happened to Lu Corporation?”
“It seems that Miss Shen Sisi isn’t very well-informed.” Shen Hanxing chuckled, the contempt in her eyes obvious. “Lu Corporation has announced its bankruptcy today. I’m here today about this as well. Are you surprised?” Bankrupted? Shen Sisi’s pupils instantly dilated, and she could barely maintain the expression on her face. The Shen family and the Lu family worked in distinctly different industries and their paths never crossed, but Shen Sisi still knew about Lu Corporation, which was still thriving and doing well recently. How did it suddenly go bankrupt?
“No, no way.” Shen Sisi was shocked and said without much thought, “How can Lu Corporation go bankrupt? It was you! Shen Hanxing, you must have done something, right?”
“Shh…” Taking advantage of the fact that the audience in the live stream room couldn’t see her, Shen Hanxing’s lips curled into a cold smile. She put a finger on her lips and said with a faint smile, “Miss Shen Sisi, don’t spout nonsense. The Lu Corporation evaded taxes, and there are quality problems with their projects. Lu Guo and his wife are also suspected of arson. They deserve what they got today. Since Miss Shen Sisi is so kind, you shouldn’t be complaining about injustice for criminals, right?” She looked at Shen Sisi sharply and mocked, “If you have time to pity the perpetrator, why don’t you pity the victims?”
Shen Sisi fell silent. Of course, she knew. No matter her opinion, she knew that she should keep her mouth shut now. All she could do was to stand there with her face pale..
