After a busy morning in the office, Xiao Zheng was not in a bad mood. He went to the cafeteria with Tang Ming for lunch. They had just taken two bites when someone knocked on the door of the private room.
"Who would be so blind in the middle of the day?" Tang Ming, who had just drunk half a mouthful of Maotai, stood up to open the door, only to find an unfamiliar woman with good looks and temperament. He could not help but ask curiously. "Beauty, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Xiao," Shang Yao said with a smile.
"I'm looking for you." Tang Ming turned around and sat back in his chair.
Xiao Zheng looked back at Shang Yao and teased, "Why did Miss Shang come here? Could it be that you have something important to discuss with me? "
"Mr. Xiao is really smart. You already know what I want to say before I even open my mouth. "Shang Yao wasn't shy and sat beside Xiao Zheng in a very natural manner.
Xiao Zheng personally poured a glass of wine for her and said with a smile, "You really have something to discuss?"
He was a little surprised. Although Shang Yao was not as intelligent as Lin Huayin, her shrewdness and mind were not something an ordinary woman could compare with. Moreover, she had her father, Shang Jingtian, who could rival Lin Chaotian. Therefore, when she said that she had something to discuss, Xiao Zheng had to be alert to avoid falling into the old businessman's trap.
Although they had exchanged some information, they were getting along quite well. However, Xiao Zheng was very clear that the two of them were at most using each other. Neither of them could truly be good for the other. Once the situation changed, they could stab each other in the back at any time.
Shang Yao took a sip of Maotai. She was not in a hurry to get down to business. Instead, she said meaningfully, "The food here in Xin Ao is really good. You can even drink Maotai in the company's cafeteria. I might as well come to Xin Ao to work. "
"Miss Shang, stop joking." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "We prepared this Maotai ourselves. How can we let the company reimburse us? "
"It's also a good benefit to be able to drink at work." Shang Yao smiled.
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not explain.
Lin Huayin set an example and would never violate the company's iron rules, but Xiao Zheng was lazy. As long as he didn't cross the bottom line, he wouldn't have too many concerns. It was just drinking two glasses of wine. After an afternoon nap, the alcohol would dissipate. It doesn't matter.
After chatting for a while, Tang Ming knew that the two of them had something to discuss in detail, so he tactfully left the private room. He gave the two of them some privacy.
"Alright. There are no outsiders now. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "Miss Shang, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Didn't I already say it at Chang Yishan's dinner party last time?" Shang Yao said with a smile. "Don't tell me Mr. Xiao has forgotten?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned. He then thought of the dinner party and shook his head. "Miss Shang. Do you take it seriously? "
"Isn't it the pursuit of doing what one says and doing what one does?" Shang Yao said. "Don't tell me Mr. Xiao wants me to be a person who goes back on my word?"
Xiao Zheng said with a subtle expression, "Miss Shang. You also know the situation in Xin Ao. Even if I want to become business partners with Miss Shang. I believe Boss Lin will not agree. "
"Xin Ao belongs to Boss Lin. Isn't it also yours?" Shang Yao said meaningfully. "What's the difference?"
Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a smile as he shook his head. "Miss Shang, please say something useful."
Seeing that Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk anymore, Shang Yao calmly changed her sitting position and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Xiao isn't interested in talking business with me, then let's continue talking about cooperation. Anyway, I don't have much power to represent the business. "
After saying that, Shang Yao took a sip of wine and continued, "Mr. Xiao, I heard that the Phantom series has been in some trouble recently?"
Xiao Zheng heard it and couldn't help but frown. "Didn't Miss Shang want to talk about cooperation with me? Why are you talking about this again? "
"This is the main reason why I'm looking for Mr. Xiao today." Shang Yao said with a smile. "And to be more precise, I'm here to help Mr. Xiao."
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "How does Miss Shang plan to help me?"
"I believe Mr. Xiao has already grasped the mastermind behind the scenes, right?" Shang Yao didn't make any jokes and went straight to the point. "Even Lin Chaotian admires Chang Yishan's investment skills and became his guide. I believe Mr. Xiao won't be too careless in his field of expertise, right? "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of Maotai and ate a green bean. "Since Miss Shang is here to help me. Then say something meaningful. "
Shang Yao heard it and said more directly, "Maybe Mr. Xiao only knows that Chang Yishan is playing tricks behind the scenes. But he doesn't know that there's someone else besides him. "
"Who?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
The lead of Chang Yishan was provided to Ouyang by Xiao Zheng. If he was prepared to investigate, Ouyang did have the ability to find substantial clues. But if there was another mastermind behind the scenes that he didn't know about, then Ouyang definitely wouldn't be able to catch it.
"An old acquaintance of Mr. Xiao." Shang Yao squinted her eyes and said thoughtfully. "Tokyo Itō."
"Him?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. "He can also get a share of the Phantom series, why would he do that?"
Moreover, the Tokyo under Ouyang's control didn't suffer any losses at all. On the contrary, it was even better than the previous quarters. Did Itō have the motive to do anything?
"That little profit is just a drop in the bucket for Itō. It can't affect his decision. "Shang Yao smiled. "Moreover, he stopped the Phantom from entering the Tokyo market. Does Mr. Xiao think that Itō only wants to profit from Itō? "
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm all ears."
"He's the person in charge of Fox Hunting Asia. He's also the only core force that can compete with Sophia. "Shang Yao said slowly. "He wants it. It's not just this little profit. It's the entire Fox Hunting, and even the market of Hua Xia. "
"I don't understand." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "What benefit does he get from doing this?"
"At his level, does he have to get obvious benefits from doing something?" Shang Yao asked. "Other than Xin Ao, who's the biggest beneficiary of the Phantom series?"
Xiao Zheng's heart sank when he heard that.
Who?
Sophia!
Shang Yao knew that Xiao Zheng was a smart person and could quickly organize his thoughts. Therefore, she didn't give him too much time to think and continued, "He and Chang Yishan have different goals. But they can reach an agreement on this matter. Chang Yishan wants to mess with you, and he wants to mess with Sophia. "
"As far as I know, Sophia has been working hard on the Phantom series for the past two years. She even set up a special company to expand and develop. "Shang Yao pursed her lips and said. "If the Phantom fails this time, it won't just be Xin Ao who loses, but also Miss Sophia!"
