To Love You Again

Chapter 97 - Step 4

Chapter 97 - Step 4

"SC? Sheng Cun Company?" Xiong Zhi was stunned. She, of course, heard of this company before. It left a big impression on her in her last lifetime.

Linfeng was stunned as well. He did not expect that his Young Miss knew this company to even know it's whole name.

"Y-yes. It seems like you've heard of it."

Xiong Zhi just nodded.

SC has just started. It just started a year earlier than hers. And it's growing fast.

'Don't tell me.'

"I have a close friend who has a high position on SC. I could ask him a favor to handle this matter and made a ghost project to lure the investors on our side."

"I've heard of SC before. They are just starting. Surely they will grow to be a huge corporation in the future. This matter will tarnish their name. And it will affect their growth. I don't want any of that."

Xiong Zhi was not kind and naive like she was before. She knew how to take advantage of and make use of people. Since she entered this field, she knew she has to be cold-hearted and firm in some instances.

'But SC...'

She was in debt to SC.

She was grateful to that company and she was not the type of person who would return the good things she received into evil.

And besides, she would like SC to turn into a humongous lion who would play with the beast's company and drive the beast crazy to the point of spitting blood.

In order to do that, SC had to be careful to not be smeared by any filth.

Xiong Zhi was worried that this filth would be used against SC in the future. Especially, that beast like digging so much.

Thinking of the beast again, made Xiong Zhi's blood boil.

She focused her eyes on Linfeng's face. Her stress-reliever.

Linfeng smiled a little.

"Don't worry, Young Miss. I will not let this matter affect SC so much. SC's growth is stable. With or without this event, SC can still gain trust from future investors. I will also make sure it will not be traced back to you." Linfeng comforted Xiong Zhi. He thought that Xiong Zhi was afraid to burden the company.

'But being in this field, you have to be cruel sometimes, young miss.'

Linfeng actually wanted to say this to Xiong Zhi. But looking at her worried eyes, he couldn't.

'Let it be. She's still new. She will learn it step by step.'

Linfeng couldn't teach the cruel and the real face of the business industry to Xiong Zhi.

He decided he would handle the dirty things for her. And step by step teaches her gently the faces of this industry.

'My young miss is still pure.'

And if possible, Linfeng wanted it to stay it that way. However, in order for her to be a businesswoman that can't be deceived easily, she needs to see both sides. It would help her survive in this cruel world.

Xiong Zhi was silent.

"Then...This friend of yours. What is his position?"

If they will use this method as a backup plan, then she needed to make sure that this would work out.

She wanted to know the person that Linfeng knew in SC.

'Is he powerful enough to make decisions in SC? Is he enough to build a connection to SC and IHZHI?'

Since SC would take this blow from her, she would like to have cooperation in this company in the long run. Especially, they will both encounter the same enemy.

If SC had a hard time to cope up because of this event, IHZHI would help.

Linfeng smiled again.

"My friend has a high position in SC. You can say he call the shots. Whatever he does, the CEO will approve of it."

Xiong Zhi got curious.

'Such a high position. Would he really help?'

Linfeng sensed the worry in Xiong Zhi's eyes.

"Don't worry. He owes me a lot. He would help me. Trust me."

Xiong Zhi stared into his eyes.

'Of course, I trust you.'

"Fine. But, it's okay for me to be involved. Please say to your friend, I'm grateful and I will be responsible if SC encountered problems because of this matter. In my surname Xiong and my company, I will help SC. I will be in your debt. " Xiong Zhi said seriously.

Linfeng was stunned. He was mesmerized by her determined voice.

But he coped up easily and seriously answered as well.

"I will deliver this message to him. Don't worry. He will be thrilled to help you out, Young Miss."

'No worries. That is my job. '

"Thank you."

Linfeng smiled and proceed to the plan.

"After I got my friend's approval we will soon contact the investors as early as this week. I will make them invest immediately within two weeks. For sure, this project will be their leeway once they confirmed that ArtWorld is truly gone. This project will be their back up, but it turns out it is our back up as well." Linfeng raised his hand to call the waiter to refill the tea and coffee.

While waiting, he continued.

"Once we released the news about the failing of the project earlier than the ArtWorld, then they would have no choice but to pull out from the ghost project and continue to invest in ArtWorld by the end of the month. At that time, you will win the trial. "

The waiter arrived with the new hot tea and coffee. He refills both of the cups. He bowed and left.

"I will clean up the matter afterward." Linfeng continued.

Xiong Zhi took her coffee and sip slowly from it.

What Linfeng mentioned was the easiest path for her. It has the highest chance to win the trial. However, the mess it would bring was a lot. Linfeng would have a hard time cleaning the mess.

So Xiong Zhi decided.

"You don't have to clean it alone. Once the time is up, and I win the trial, I could do everything right?" Linfeng nodded while sipping on his tea.

"I will talk to the investors personally after the trial. I have some plans for them. "

Linfeng put down his teacup. He already had a plan for the investors. To comfort the investors from being deceived, he would offer a big project that gives a lot of advantages for the investors. It might be hard to gain their trust again but he would see to it that they would see the benefits and potential of it. Hence, he planned to offer the involved investors a contract for the partnership of the investors and the SC. It means, if SC grows up high in the future, the investors will be alongside with it. But if SC goes down the drain, the investors had a choice to detach with them. SC would not blame them.

But it turns out that his young miss already thinks it over and had a solution for the mess.

Linfeng got curious about what solution Xiong Zhi think of.

So he asked.

"What is your plan?"

Xiong Zhi stared at Linfeng.

"I want to make my own ArtWorld."
