"Before …"
"Now that I'm a boss, I can't be as pure as before." Zeng Zhun smiled faintly.
Luo Sang understood that friends could say whatever they wanted, but as a boss, they had to pay attention to many things. "Brother Zeng, I call you brother because I don't think you're like Yi Jingxi. I used to call you that too."
Zeng Zhun nodded and said, "Luo Sang, is there something you want to ask me?"
"Big Brother Zeng is indeed Big Brother Zeng." The smile on Luo Sang's face gradually disappeared. "I want to know why Yi Jingxi knows about my mother. He even knows that I have a brother. Does he have any clues?"
Last night, Luo Sang had thought about it carefully. Her mother had been missing for a long time. No matter how capable Yi Jingxi was, he couldn't find her so easily. After all, it had been nearly twenty years. Nian Junting had said that it would take a long time to find her, but he knew about her brother.
So, Yi Jingxi had some clues. That was the only thing she could think of.
Zeng Zhun looked at her in surprise.
Luo Sang knew that she had guessed right. "Brother Zeng, are you going to follow Yi Jingxi like this all the time? Have you ever thought of a way out?"
"You're not here to persuade me to leave Mr. Yi, are you?" Zeng Zhun was very sensitive. Recently, many competitors had tried to poach him, so he could guess some things.
Luo Sang smiled and said, "I think, with your ability, you would have left long ago if you wanted to."
Hearing that, Zeng Zhun took a drag of his cigarette and said, "No matter what, Jingxi and I are classmates. We've been friends for so many years. When I graduated, it wasn't easy for me to find a job, so Jingxi asked me to follow him for so many years."
"But he doesn't trust you more and more," Luosang said, "You're loyal to him, but now he's suspicious and fickle. I heard that a few days ago, a female artist from your company, Cheng Liuyun, successfully terminated her contract and went to another entertainment company because of your help. When Yi Jingxi found out, he had a big fight with you. He thought that you shouldn't have let her leave under such circumstances. But in fact, Cheng Liuyun is your girlfriend."
Zeng Zhun was startled, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "It seems you've done some research."
Luo Sang shrugged and said, "You're in the entertainment industry. It's not surprising that the president's assistant fell in love with an actress. You're just thinking about her. Yi Jingxi is your friend. You can fall in love with him, but you can't let your girlfriend die in this bottomless abyss."
Zeng Zhun didn't say a word. The cigarette in his hand had almost burned to the end.
"I need you to help me." Luo Sang finally revealed her true purpose. "I want to overturn the case. I hope you can testify in court and point out what Yi Jingxi did. If you can't say it out loud, at least tell the truth when the lawyer asks you."
Zeng Zhun looked at her in astonishment and laughed bitterly. "Do you think that's possible?"
"Zeng Zhun, it's for your own conscience."
Luo Sang's eyes were filled with pleading. "I know you're not like Yi Jingxi. When I met you at the Xu Family's old mansion, I felt that you didn't agree with many things about Yi Jingxi. If you were really that close to him, you should know that my father was wronged.
You should know that my father is innocent. I don't understand what grudge he has against Yi Jingxi. Isn't my father a good principal? The person who framed him and the person who framed him have either been promoted or emigrated, while he, a man in his fifties, is still in prison. He's already so old, but he's been in prison for three years. How many years can he survive in that kind of place? If he dies, you'll feel guilty too, won't you? "
Zeng Zhun remained silent. He finished his cigarette and lit another one, probably because he was depressed.
"I'll be honest with you. I already have a recording that can prove what Yi Jingxi did. It was left behind by the victim, Ceng Lijuan. There's evidence that Yi Jingxi gave her money. Unfortunately, Ceng Lijuan passed away in an accident, so we don't have enough witnesses. I need your help." Luo Sang stared at him.
Zeng Zhun couldn't look into her eyes. "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"I'm only looking for you because my father's health is getting worse. I want to save him as soon as possible. But you know, since I already have this evidence, it's only a matter of time before my father's case is overturned," Luo Sang said from behind him. "The longer my father stays in prison, or if he dies of illness in prison, the heavier Yi Jingxi's sentence will be in the future. By then, as Yi Jingxi's personal assistant, you might be dragged into the lawsuit."
Zeng Zhun stopped, turned around, and said, "Luo Sang, are you threatening me?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Luo Sang shook her head.
"Think about your family. It's only a matter of time before the Yi Group changes owners. Besides, the Yi Group was mine to begin with. You should know how Yi Jingxi colluded with those shareholders to cheat me of my shares. In today's shareholders' meeting, you should also know that Yi Jingxi's position as the chairman is gone.
You should know very well that Yi Jingxi's position as chairman is gone. The Yi Group invested in several blockbusters last year and the year before, spending 20 billion yuan on them. Plus, the resort was built not long ago and hasn't made much money. You know better than anyone that Yi Jingxi is just an arrow at the end of its flight. There are already many companies eyeing the Yi Group covetously, wanting to buy it. How long can Yi Jingxi last? When he has no money, how long can he cover up the truth of what happened that year with money? "
Zeng Zhun's body tensed up, and he said in a hoarse voice, "If I betray Yi Jingxi, what will I do in this industry?"
"You're not betraying him, you're helping him." Luo Sang smiled and said softly, "Do you agree with what he did? If you agree with him, you wouldn't argue in the office so often. You're talented. Even if you can't stay in the Yi Group, you can go to Yuxi in the future. Junting is planning to enter the film and television industry, and he needs more people.
Luo Sang handed him a business card.
Zeng Zhun looked at the card for a long while, then took it and held it in his palm.
"Brother Zeng, think about what's right and what's wrong. Do you think Yi Jingxi is doing what a man should do? If you think he's doing the right thing, just pretend that I didn't say anything today. Besides, your girlfriend is also in this industry. One day, when you become an outsider, or you get sued, will your girlfriend still be with you? This is a realistic society. You can only marry the woman you love when you have a stable footing."
After saying that, Luo Sang turned to leave.
"Wait," Zeng Zhun suddenly said, "You just asked about your mother."
