The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO
Chapter 74 Brother, why are you here with Nie Zheng?
Hong Yan is Zheng Yue's man, and Qiao Li really wants him to get out of Zheng Yue and stay away from Nie Zheng, but this cannot be done overnight. He wants to do it, but he hasn't done it yet.
Hong Yan's dismissal had nothing to do with Qiao Li.
After thinking for a while, he understood in his mind that this was probably because Chong Jianzhi knew that this person did good deeds without leaving a name, and he felt uncomfortable and unwilling to admit that he helped Nie Zheng, so he accidentally put the credit on himself.
The struggle lasted only a moment, and Qiao Li didn't want to clarify anything. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Nie Zheng's, swallowing the truth.
After dinner, she saw a message from her supervisor in the company group, and realized that she had to attend another meeting at the Xiaoshui branch the next morning. In order to avoid being late, she rejected Qiao Li's invitation to go to the movies and wanted to go home directly.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Li's car broke down on the road. Qiao Li called someone to tow the car. Perhaps he was craving for a cigarette, so he stood by the car door and smoked two cigarettes in a row. The tow truck had not arrived yet, and seeing that Qiao Li looked bored, she got out of the car and wanted to talk to him.
"Why did you come down? It's cold outside."
"It's not cold, I came out to get some fresh air."
Seeing Qiao Li about to put out the cigarette in his hand, Nie Zheng suddenly stopped him and asked Qiao Li, "What does cigarette taste like? Is it so good?"
This question was too sudden, and he didn't have an answer right away. He simply took out a new cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Nie Zheng: "You will know after you try it."
Having never touched a cigarette before, she looked at the cigarette being handed to her and was very hesitant, not knowing whether she should take it.
If you take it and taste it, you might become addicted to it, or you might no longer have any interest in it. But if you don't taste it, when you see it again, that curiosity will seem to take root in your heart, and the dryness will come out of your throat.
Nie Zheng took the cigarette and held it between her fingers. She took out a lighter from her pocket. It was very windy at that time, so she wrapped her hand around the lighter and brought the burning flame, which was swaying in the wind, close to the cigarette in her mouth.
It was lit, and gray-white smoke finally filled the air as she took her first puff of smoke.
"Brother, why are you here with Nie Zheng?"
Qiao Xing's voice sounded behind her. Nie Zheng's heart trembled. She turned around suddenly and saw the person she least wanted to see at the moment, Chong Jianzhi.
Chong Jianzhi and Qiao Xing parked the car on the side of the road. Qiao Xing got out first, but the man stayed in the car.
She instinctively hid the cigarette in her hand behind her back, and she didn't know whether Chong Jianzhi saw it or not.
"The car broke down. Today is such a bad day."
The man in the car said nothing, his eyes always fixed on somewhere behind her.
Qiao Xing looked at her, then said to her brother, "Jianzhi and I will take you two back. It's getting cold just waiting like this."
"no need."
She rejected Qiao Xing without even thinking about it. The conversation the day before was like a knife that stabbed deeply into her heart. Whenever she faced Chong Jianzhi again, she always felt a tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing.
"boarding."
Hearing Chong Jianzhi's urging, Qiao Xing obediently got in the car. However, after she got in, she still did not drive away. Instead, she repeated the word "get in the car" again.
She immediately understood that Chong Jianzhi was talking to her.
"boarding."
She looked back at Qiao Li, who smiled sympathetically and said to her gently, "Go back first, and send me a message when you get home."
She groaned, perhaps because she was a little nervous, she even forgot about the cigarette between her fingers. She got into the car with the cigarette between her fingers, and the wind blew the cigarette into ashes. It was clear that she only took a puff, and in the blink of an eye, only the cigarette butt was left.
Chong Jianzhi saw the cigarette that was about to burn out through the rearview mirror. As if he could no longer bear it, he leaned over and snatched the cigarette butt from her hand. There was still a flickering spark on the cigarette butt, but he seemed to be unaware of it and put out the spark with his hand.
At this moment, her heart was in her throat. She thought Chong Jianzhi would provoke her with unpleasant words as usual, but this time he didn't.
The car started, Chong Jianzhi remained silent, and silence filled the entire car.
That silence was more like the last calm before the storm.
On Monday, Zheng Yue and Lixing's leader sat in the conference room to discuss cooperation matters for the next quarter.
As Ningjiang's leading commercial real estate group, Lixing has been cooperating with Zhengyue for four years. During the cooperation period, the two companies did not have any irreconcilable conflicts. The project leaders of both parties thought that this meeting on cooperation in the next quarter was just a formality.
Unexpectedly, Chong Jianzhi gave everyone a bolt from the blue.
At the beginning of the meeting, he came straight to the point and made it clear that Zheng Yue would no longer cooperate with Lixing.
Qiao Li did not receive any news in advance. The cooperation between the two companies had already been decided because of Chong Jianzhi and Qiao Xing's engagement. He was caught off guard when he suddenly learned that Chong Jianzhi did not intend to continue cooperating with Li Xing.
"Mr. Chong, Lixing's current property area in China has exceeded 10 million square meters. The cooperation between Zhengyue and Lixing is undoubtedly your best choice at present."
As he said this, Qiao Li turned his head to look at Qiao Xing beside him and found that his sister was actually looking down at her mobile phone at the moment. It was obvious that she didn't care about the situation at hand. He couldn't understand it and reached out to knock on the table in front of Qiao Xing.
But the other party still didn't react, and didn't even raise his head.
Chong Jianzhi knew that he had already made the decision and was unwilling to say even polite words to Qiao Li. When asked the reason, he only talked about the internal strategy adjustment of Zhengyue, which was all useless nonsense.
After the meeting, the two met in the underground garage. In addition to the two of them, Qiao Xing and Richard were also there. Qiao Li couldn't help but question the arrogant and indifferent man in front of him: "Before Mr. Chong made the decision, were you sure that you didn't have any personal grudges?"
There was a hint of disdain on his face, and he didn't even stop to open the door: "You think too much."
After that, he asked Richard to start the car and left.
Were there any personal animosities involved in making the decision?
Yes, of course.
But he is not an impulsive person. If he was a willful person, then four years ago, when he saw Nie Zheng and Qiao Li waking up in bed with his own eyes, he would have immediately canceled the cooperation with Li Xing.
He had suppressed this anger for four years. Zheng Yue was not strong enough at that time, and cooperating with Li Xing was undoubtedly the best choice, but four years later, times had changed and Li Xing was no longer irreplaceable.
Chong Jianzhi has been waiting for this opportunity, to find a cooperative business group that can rival Lixing, to join forces with the other party, and to defeat - no, to overthrow Lixing.
After waiting for this opportunity, he decided to let Nie Zheng return to Ningjiang.
He wanted Nie Zheng to see with her own eyes how Qiao Li was trampled under his feet and became penniless.
All of this was in his plan, exactly.
The only error was the question Nie Zheng asked him.
——Do you like me?
Chong Jianzhi had asked himself this question countless times. What exactly was his feeling towards Nie Zheng? In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it, nor could he admit it.
