227 Eternal Benefits
Zhou Xuan’s cold eyes were as cold as ice. “There are no eternal friends, only eternal benefits. I’ve seen your ability. If I help you, won’t I make an enemy for myself in the business competition? Do I look that stupid?”
“You’re wrong, Mr. Zhou.” Shan Yue tilted the glass of red wine in her hand slightly forward. “Helping me won’t make another enemy for you. The three major corporations are still in Federal City. It’s just that the Shan Corporation will replace the Tang Corporation, and we can split the replaced Tang Corporation equally. This is completely in line with Mr. Zhou’s principle of interests, right? What do you think?”
When Shan Yue finished speaking, a glint flashed across the calm Zhou Xuan’s eyes. He knew that Shan Yue was very ambitious, but he did not expect her to actually want to annex the Tang Corporation. The Tang family’s foundation had been stable for many years, and even he could not do this. This could not help but make Zhou Xuan start to doubt if Shan Yue could do it.
“It’s good to have ideals.” Zhou Xuan’s eyes darkened. “But no matter what, you shouldn’t be delusional. Tang Xia is behind Tang Li. He has connections in the entire central city of the Federation. What makes you think you have the strength to annex the Tang Corporation?”
“It seems that Mr. Zhou still doesn’t know me well enough.” Shan Yue’s smile climbed to her eyebrows. “I, Shan Yue, have never done anything that I’m not confident in. Of course, I know that Tang Xia has powerful connections, but he’s the one with power, not Tang Li. We don’t need to crush Tang Xia. We just need to crush Tang Li.”
Zhou Xuan’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Miss Shan, words are easy. You want to crush Tang Li? What right do you have to crush her?”
“How do you think the Tang Corporation has developed so quickly in the past few years to the point of being able to arm-wrestle with your Zhou family? Did they really rely on legitimate business?” A wicked smile appeared on Shan Yue’s lips. “It seems that Mr. Zhou definitely doesn’t know that it’s actually some shameful business that Tang Li has done behind the scenes. Not to mention you, even her father doesn’t know. Just this alone, even Tang Xia can’t protect her.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Xuan did not show any more surprise. Seeing Shan Yue’s confident expression, the red wine glass in his hand also leaned forward slightly and clinked with the wine glass in Shan Yue’s hand. “In that case, let’s cooperate happily.”
The entertainment time of the banquet was fleeting until the sun rose slowly the next day. The three of them boarded a flight back to the Federation’s central city. The journey was bumpy and winding, just to welcome the beauty of the future.
After getting off the plane, Shan Yue did not stay long and returned home. Along the way, she began to prepare for the company’s construction.
Other than Shan An, who was working hard outside, the rest of the family had already entered the summer vacation. Shan Yue’s return made Shan Chen extremely excited. “Sister, you’re finally back. We’ve missed you in the past half a month.”
When Shan Xing saw Shan Yue, she only glanced at her and deliberately said, “You’ve disappeared for more than half a month, but you still know to come back. Why don’t you stay outside?”
Shan Yue did not indulge her bad habits now. “I have the right to choose whether to go home or live outside. Unlike you, you can only go home and live there for the rest of your life. You have no right to choose.”
“How can you speak to your sister like that?” Sun Ling immediately couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to teach her a lesson. “Isn’t your sister right? What right do you have to say that about her?”
“What right? Just because she’s still at home preparing for the college entrance examination without me.” Shan Yue’s eyes gradually became cold and without any warmth. “Back then, when you helped her buy a university spot, you spoke so nicely when you begged me to do something. Now that your goal has been achieved, you’ve turned hostile. You’re really faster than flipping a book.”
At this point, Sun Ling knew that she was in the wrong. She busied herself preparing lunch and stopped talking.
Then, Shan Yue also checked Shan Chen’s hacker ranking. When she looked at the rankings, his name had already appeared at the 94th place.
“Very good, Shan Chen.”
