When he returned home, Lin Huayin was still waiting for him in the living room, watching TV. JESSICA was diligently cleaning. He was different from Lin Huayin. His own obsession with cleanliness was limited to himself, and would not bring any burden to others. So Xiao Zheng enjoyed jESSICA's clean working environment, but he did not have to do any work.
This was probably the highest level of a housekeeper's mentality.
Xiao Zheng changed into slippers and entered the living room. Lin Huayin immediately stood up and helped Xiao Zheng take off his suit jacket. She asked softly, "Something happened again?"
When Xiao Zheng heard that, he teased, "Old Lin, isn't your intelligence agency a little too powerful? I haven't even reached home and you already know everything? "
Lin Huayin hung up Xiao Zheng's suit jacket and pursed her lips, "As long as you don't need to hide it from me. I will know everything. "
Old Lin said this casually. He did not mean to show off, and he did not mean to hint at anything. However, in Xiao Zheng's ears, it was exceptionally ear-piercing.
Xiao Zheng and the Ye Residence had hidden the news of Lord Ye's critical illness from Lin Huayin. So far, there had been no news of it. If Old Lin found out in the future. He did not know if he would vent his anger on him.
Shaking his head and smiling, he helped Lin Huayin back to the living room. He picked up Old Lin's remaining milk and said, "It's a small matter. It's just Bai Wushuang's petty cleverness. "
"This is not petty cleverness." Lin Huayin said slowly. "He used his own life as a price to slander you. I heard that many people believe him. "
"A bunch of idiots with no brains." Xiao Zheng smiled and shrugged. "Go and ask Uncle Bai and Uncle Lu. Which one of them will believe that I hired the assassins?"
To put it bluntly.
People were more willing to believe things that were beneficial to them. Not the so-called justice and righteousness.
Today's Bai Wushuang was no longer the same as before, and today's Xiao Zheng was slowly growing into the number one person of the younger generation.
Who did not want to pull down the guy who was stepping on their head? Who did not want to unite everyone to resist the guy who had taken away all the light?
Those who sympathized with the weak and spoke for justice were often very few. So few that it was negligible.
Having been in the upper class for so long, Xiao Zheng would not be easily swayed like before. Now, he had learned to see the essence of the problem.
Misunderstood?
Slander?
Or even — the so-called betrayal?
The more glory Xiao Zheng could enjoy, the more attacks and malice he could resist.
Didn't Old Monster Lin walk this path back then?
Listening to Xiao Zheng's explanation, a faint gratification flashed across Lin Huayin's beautiful face. "You're really becoming more and more powerful."
"Do you like it?" Xiao Zheng grinned.
"Mm." Lin Huayin nodded and gently held Xiao Zheng's arm. "I can also retire in peace."
"Haha." Xiao Zheng squeezed Elder Lin's palm. "Why don't you hand over all your work to me now? I won't feel at ease if you have to go to work with a big belly. "
"I promise you. After seven months, he would let go of everything in his hands. Focus on nurturing the fetus, "Lin Huayin said softly.
"En. I'll reluctantly accept it. "Xiao Zheng smiled and helped Elder Lin upstairs to rest.
It was a silent night.
After breakfast, Xiao Zheng arrived at the company early. But he didn't bring Old Lin along.
Under the couple's agreement, Elder Lin would stay at home to rest in the morning. At most, she would take an afternoon nap before going to the company to deal with some documents that she had to deal with. It was impossible to be as punctual as before. Although it didn't quite fit Elder Lin's style of work. However, since Xiao Zheng had requested it, she didn't object.
She had just arrived at the company and hadn't even warmed her seat yet. Xiao Taohong knocked on the door and informed Xiao Zheng that she was going to meet an important customer.
"Who is so great that I have to meet him personally?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
"Linghu Zhu." Xiao Taohong winked mischievously. "He's a hot topic in Beijing now. You know that. "
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he let out a relieved smile.
Ever since the incident with Shang Yao, Linghu Zhu had settled down in Beijing and put all his energy into his work. Coupled with Linghu Duyi's support, Linghu Zhu had quickly closed two eye-catching business deals in the business world. Because the deals were huge and Linghu Zhu had personally supervised the entire process, the industry was in an uproar. They believed that Linghu Zhu would be the next rising star.
When they arrived at the reception room, Xiao Zheng smiled warmly and said, "Why do you have time to waste here, Mr. Linghu? I heard that you have several tens of billions of dollars worth of projects on hand. How about it? When will we join forces and let me have a piece of the pie? "
Linghu Zhu shook hands with Xiao Zheng and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mr. Xiao, don't mock me. I'm just doing some small business. How is it qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as your New Mysteries? "
"That's not right." Xiao Zheng shook his head and joked. "You're the boss, and I'm just a worker. There's a fundamental difference. "
The two chatted for a while and sat down together. After receiving the coffee from Little Peach, Linghu Zhu lit a cigarette and said with a serious expression, "Chairman Xiao, I'm afraid that I'll have to ask you to change your mind. I'm here today to clarify some facts with you. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. "
"Tell me about it." Xiao Zheng smiled playfully.
The relationship between the Linghu family and Dong Zang was quite ambiguous. This also proved that they had a close relationship with the Zhao family. In the end, apart from the accident caused by Shang Yao, Xiao Zheng and the Linghu family were essentially on opposite sides.
But with his current position, he naturally wouldn't frown coldly just because of a different position. What's more, from a personal point of view, he still admired Linghu Zhu.
"The sneak attack on Bai Wushuang has nothing to do with our Linghu family," Linghu Zhu said with a cautious expression.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he smiled and asked back, "Has anyone ever suspected you? Why did you suddenly come to clarify? "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng said with a somewhat nasty smile, "Now that you put it like that, it's really a bit like you're trying to hide something."
Linghu Zhu said helplessly, "Mr. Xiao, I came with sincerity to explain to you."
Xiao Zheng nodded. "I don't doubt that at all."
"I also know that Bai Wushuang's matter has caused a big storm. Even Bai Ziwen died tragically on the rooftop of your Xin Ao. I also know that Mr. Xiao is under a lot of pressure because of this matter, "Linghu Zhu said slowly. "So I have to explain it clearly to Mr. Xiao to avoid any future misunderstandings."
Xiao Zheng took a sip of coffee and said with a somewhat sharp tone, "Bai Wushuang has not only been assassinated once - just last night, he was assassinated again."
"I know." Linghu Zhu nodded and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "This matter is very strange. But I believe that it definitely has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao. "
There were some things that Linghu Zhu didn't dare to say.
If he said it, it would be the same as choosing a side.
Choosing a side in itself was driven by benefits. Linghu Zhu clearly didn't consider easily choosing a side between Xiao Zheng and Bai Wushuang. So he wouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
"I really want to know, what kind of relationship does your father have with the Zhao family?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "Young master Linghu, is it too nosy of me to ask this? Does it also violate the privacy of your family? "
Linghu Zhu couldn't help but have a bitter expression on his face. He slowly put down the cup of coffee and said, "I have asked my father about this matter several times. But he only gave me one answer. "
"What answer?" Xiao Zheng frowned.
"My father owes his life to the Zhao family."
