“President Zhou didn’t want me to tell you about this, but 1 really can’t stand the situation at home.” He Sheng said nervously, “Other than you, there’s no one else who can help President Zhou.”
“What happened?” Shan Yue asked impatiently, “Did something happen to Zhou Xuan?”
There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone, but in the end, he still told her the truth.
“Ever since President Zhou returned a few days ago, his identity as the head of the Zhou Corporation has been removed. Now, the identity of the head of the corporation has been handed over to Second Master’s son, Zhou Feng, to temporarily manage. However, this Zhou Feng has always been at odds with President Zhou. He will definitely use this opportunity to suppress President Zhou unscrupulously.”
Hearing this news, Shan Yue was really shocked. “Why is this happening? Wasn’t he still fine when he returned?”
Shan Yue suddenly thought of something. “Was it because he secretly mobilized the Zhou family’s sacrificial soldiers to help me in Country H, causing this situation?”
“That’s right. I heard from President Zhou that the Zhou family’s sacrificial soldiers can’t be mobilized except at the critical moment of the family’s life and death. Although President Zhou found the butler to cover for him, he still can’t defeat the Second Master and Third Master.” He Sheng told her everything he knew. “The two of them are waiting for such an opportunity. As long as President Zhou is caught, even the Old Master can’t protect him.”
“How is Zhou Xuan now?” Compared to the others, Shan Yue was more concerned about Zhou Xuan. “How did he deal with it?”
“Zhou Xuan argued with the family and openly challenged the two masters. In order to protect the butler, he even took all the responsibility on himself. Although the Eldest Master’s words are clearly biased towards President Zhou, he has violated the family rules after all. He still has to receive the punishment he deserves.”
He Sheng became agitated. “Other than being fired, President Zhou is also temporarily under house arrest, to let him think about what he has done.”
After hearing He Sheng’s story, Shan Yue felt some regret.
Zhou Xuan could have inherited everything in the family safely and become a rich young master who did not have to worry about food and drink. But because of her, all his dreams were shattered. He even lost his status as the head of the Zhou family.
“President Shan, you have to save President Zhou. Although he clearly told me not to tell you about this, if you don’t save him now, when the competitors become stronger, President Zhou’s hope of turning things around will really be very small.”
“Don’t worry. Even if this has nothing to do with me, 1’11 help him. Besides, I started this.” Without hesitation, Shan Yue immediately agreed. “Don’t be too flustered. Although Zhou Xuan violated the family rules, he’s still Chairman Zhou’s son after all. No one else will do anything to him. After you hang up the phone, find out more information. Report to me immediately if there’s anything new.”
“Understood, President Shan. I’ll remember. Our President Zhou’s future depends on you.”
With that, both parties hung up. At the same time, Shan Yue immediately had a solution. She called Ye Ying, Chang Ling, and Yu Feng in and told them the general situation.
“President Shan, tell me what to do.” Ye Ying didn’t hesitate. “No matter what, President Zhou ended up like this because he helped us. Whether it’s out of friendship or duty, we should help him tide over his difficulties.”
“That’s right, 1 think so too.” Shan Yue nodded and agreed with Ye Ying. “The plan is actually very simple. Since Zhou Feng is in charge of the Zhou Corporation now, I have to let him know that this position is not easy to sit in. If 1 don’t give him an opening gambit, he really thinks that he can be compared to Zhou Xuan.”
Chang Ling and Yu Feng listened carefully to Shan Yue. At this critical moment, they did not dare to slack off at all..
