263 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
“I knew it. With President Shan’s personality, you definitely won’t make a loss. I’ve long been prepared to help.” Zhou Xuan leaned back on the bench. The dim light vaguely illuminated his jaw. “Although you said that it’s something easy for me, I don’t think it’s a good thing, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to me for help.”
Shan Yue smiled faintly. “Look at what you’re saying, President Zhou. Isn’t it obvious that you don’t trust me? Could it be that I’ll only ask President Zhou for help when something bad happens? Or am I such a person in President Zhou’s heart?”
“President Shan, you’re overthinking. Hurry up and get to the point. If there’s anything you want me to investigate, just say it.”
“Actually, it’s really just a very simple matter.” Shan Yue’s cold eyes turned to the side. “I hope President Zhou can help me check if the other three shareholders of the Tang Corporation have accepted bribes from Tang Li. It’s even fine if Tang Li transfers them a large amount of money of unknown origin. If there is, the next step will be much easier.”
Zhou Xuan’s slender fingers kept touching his green jade ring. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “I already understand what President Shan means, but are you so confident in the win rate of this lawsuit? Your actions already show that you firmly believe that this lawsuit can pull Tang Li down and take away the other shareholders of the Tang Corporation. Am I right in killing two birds with one stone?”
“President Zhou’s guess is completely correct.” Shan Yue’s eyes were relaxed, showing the casualness of a king. “Because only by doing this can I obtain the largest shares of the Tang Corporation and become the true head of the company. Since I’ve already laid my cards on the table with the Tang Corporation, it’s inevitable that there will be some tit-for-tat situations. Whether it’s to protect the Shan Corporation or to completely prevent the Tang family from having the capital to counterattack, I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong.”
“I can agree to what you say.” Zhou Xuan thought for two seconds before agreeing firmly. “Because I know you never do anything you’re not confident in. Now that you’re facing such an important juncture, you won’t take the risk to do something unreasonable.”
“In that case, I really have to thank President Zhou. You trust me so unconditionally. Since you’ve put in so much effort, I hope that the final outcome won’t disappoint all of us.”
Just like that, when Shan Yue finished communicating and was about to hang up, Zhou Xuan interrupted her.
Zhou Xuan lowered his voice again and opened his thin lips slightly. “If President Shan can really annex the Tang Corporation one day soon, will your ambition end here? Or is President Shan’s mind far beyond this? Will your next target be the Dong Corporation or my Zhou Corporation?”
Zhou Xuan deliberately emphasized the last sentence. His seemingly simple words were like a sharp sword. Even through the phone, Zhou Xuan’s words could still emit a chilling aura that burst out with an irresistible pressure.
Shan Yue covered her face with one hand and let out a few bell-like laughter. “President Zhou, it’s completely unnecessary for you to have such concerns. You’re right about one thing. My ambition is definitely far beyond this. However, I’m not stupid enough to have the thought of annexing your two families. It’s not a wise choice to monopolize the central city of the Federation. That will only cause more trouble.”
“I’m relieved to hear that, President Shan.” Zhou Xuan’s cold eyes gradually relaxed. “After all, as the head of the Zhou Corporation, I have to be responsible for the future of the entire company. Only when the Shan Corporation is not a threat to us can the two sides truly work together without worry.”
“I can completely understand President Zhou’s concerns. As the boss of the company, we do have a lot to consider.” Shan Yue pursed her lips slightly. “Putting aside the relationship between the three of us, just the help Uncle Dong provided when the company was established is already very much appreciated.”
