Xiao Zheng had originally thought that the Yuchi Palace matter would take a long time to completely wrap up. After all, there were many factors involved and even the redistribution of benefits.
But what Xiao Zheng didn't expect was that ten days later, General Qi called.
"I'm going to be promoted." General Qi couldn't hide the slight tremble in his voice.
Although Xiao Zheng was shocked, he wasn't surprised.
This was because Xiao Zheng had handed this negotiation over to the Hu Family. Giving it to someone else, even Minister Jin, was a bit unreasonable.
The benefits were fought for by the Hu Family, so Xiao Zheng couldn't be so inconsiderate, right?
"Congratulations," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "You have to treat me to a meal some other day."
"Don't play dumb, you brat." General Qi's slightly grateful voice came through the phone. "You're the one behind this, aren't you?"
General Qi had long since thought that he would be able to take another step forward in his career. The way he conducted himself and the relationships he had in the industry were destined to be like this after his retirement. At most, his benefits would rise by half a rank after retirement.
Now that he was suddenly promoted, the first person General Qi thought of was Xiao Zheng.
Of all the people he knew, only Xiao Zheng had the connections to help him move things around.
Of course, General Qi also understood that his promotion this time was carried out by Xiao Zheng, and the ones pulling the strings in the dark were the Hu Family.
Of course, there was also the Yuchi Family who would risk their lives to fish out the Yuchi Palace.
"I don't have that kind of ability." Xiao Zheng laughed and chatted a bit with the old general before hanging up.
The old general had served the military for many years, but his rank had never been raised. To say that he didn't have any complaints in his heart was certainly nonsense. But as a junior, Xiao Zheng naturally couldn't run to the old general to take credit. That would hurt the old general's heart.
Ending his conversation with the old general, Xiao Zheng was just about to get back to work when another call came in.
It was Yu Fei.
As Xiao Zheng's first direct resource, Yu Fei had maintained his respect for Xiao Zheng all these years. Furthermore, there was no place for him to cross the line. Moreover, he wouldn't ignore Xiao Zheng just because of his position.
It was impossible for Xiao Zheng not to take care of such a direct descendant.
"Boss, I received the news!"
Perhaps because he was too excited, he actually ignored his own official rank and called Xiao Zheng 'boss'. One could see the agitation in his heart.
"What news are you so excited about?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
"If nothing goes wrong, I'll be on the next promotion list," Yu Fei said excitedly. "It was Department Head Jin who informed me in advance!"
"Then you have to work hard in the future. You can't let down Minister Jin, and you can't let down Wu Sha," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. There was a hint of warning in his words.
When Xiao Zheng was young, ignorant, and cynical, he didn't like certain officials who didn't do anything. Now, although he had also advanced to a vested interest, he didn't like people who occupied the latrine pit from the bottom of his heart.
He had higher requirements for the people around him.
"Of course," Yu Fei immediately said. He was extremely serious.
At the same time, Yu Fei also faintly felt the majesty of Xiao Zheng on the other end of the phone. It was just a seemingly ordinary reminder, but it exuded an unstoppable sense of oppression.
Yu Fei knew that his boss was not only getting stronger, but even the power in his hands was extremely terrifying.
Through the news obtained from Department Head Jin, Xiao Zheng might become an expert outside the circle.
What was an expert outside the circle?
Although he didn't have any status, it was enough to change the situation. It could even shake the foundation of some people!
This power was something that Yu Fei, who was involved in the situation, did not have.
Even Department Head Jin sighed that the younger generation would surpass the older.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng simply turned off his phone to work. To avoid being harassed again. He didn't turn on his phone until he got off work.
But as soon as he turned on his phone, several messages came in. They were all from Linghu Zhu.
"Brother, where are you?"
"Brother, why is your phone turned off?"
"Boss Xiao, hurry up and reply to me. It's urgent!"
"…"
Xiao Zheng casually read a few messages and gave Linghu Zhu a call.
"Hello." Xiao Zheng casually lit a cigarette. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's so urgent?"
Linghu Zhu's anxious voice was heard. "Something big happened on Shang Yao's side!"
When Xiao Zheng heard that, he couldn't help but be shocked. "What happened?"
"Come over. I can't tell you the details over the phone!" Linghu Zhu said and hung up the phone.
It was very noisy on his end. He seemed to be very busy.
Xiao Zheng's heart also tightened. He felt a little scared.
What happened on Shang Yao's side again?
Xiao Zheng really couldn't figure out that woman, and he couldn't guess her thoughts.
He drove straight to Linghu Zhu's office. As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the office, Linghu Zhu rushed up to Xiao Zheng with a look of despair on his face and said, "Not only did Shang Yao not withdraw the funds, but … she transferred us another ten billion!"
"…"
Xiao Zheng was just about to sit down when he stood up again. "What's the meaning of this?"
"Who knows?" Linghu Zhu rubbed his head. "The finance and legal departments have been dispatched. I've also called Shang Yao, but she hasn't picked up. "
"Also …" Linghu Zhu's voice was tense. "Shang Jingtian has already called me twice. I feel like he's gone mad! "
Xiao Zheng's palms broke out in cold sweat. He was even more confused.
What was going on?
They had agreed to withdraw the funds, but not only did they not withdraw the funds, they transferred another ten billion?
Xiao Zheng didn't believe that this was some kind of operational error. After all, ten billion was not like one hundred RMB, where one's hand could slip and make a mistake.
That was ten billion!
How long would it take to prepare for that?
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. He had no time to listen to Linghu Zhu's complaints. He grabbed his phone and called Shang Yao.
Du du.
Du du.
After a long wait, the call was finally connected.
"What is going on?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"What do you mean what is going on?" Shang Yao's relaxed voice came from the other side of the phone.
Xiao Zheng could even hear the sound of the ocean.
"Money," Xiao Zheng said with a helpless expression. "Why did she transfer us another ten billion? Didn't you say you wanted to withdraw the funds? "
"Could it be that Boss Xiao has never heard of women being fickle?" Shang Yao's emotional voice came from the other side of the phone. "Could it be … even Boss Xiao has a time when he thinks he has too much money?"
Xiao Zheng sighed softly. "By doing this … are you not afraid that Shang Jingtian will kill you?"
In this era where money was king, Shang Yao made the decision to throw money away on her own. Even if it was just the Yan Family's funds, for the ambitious Shang Jingtian, it was unacceptable. It might even cause him to explode.
"That's why I'm hiding abroad," Shang Yao said calmly. "It will probably take some time for Father to find me. During this time, I want to enjoy my life. "
"What about the Yan Family?" Xiao Zheng asked worriedly.
"With Yan Hong supporting them, it'll be fine," Shang Yao said with a smile. "What's more, all my money is in your pockets now. Even if I want to do anything, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to, right?"
"Mr. Xiao, I've already given you everything I can," Xiao Luo said.
