"Isn't that Zhou Qiaoqiao, President Zhou from the Zhou family? What's she doing at our company?"
"Holy crap! Those legs, that figure, that face - I'm in love! She's on par with our President Shen. I don't know why Young Master Xu doesn't fancy President Zhou."
"Only kids make choices! Adults want it all!"
"Alright, alright, stop dreaming. Both of them are women you'll never have in this lifetime."
"Hey, isn't that Li Ming, the head of the investment department at Xu Corporation? Why is he here too?"
The employees of Shen Corporation turned into spectators.
Their inner gossip souls ignited.
Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn't forgotten Xu Mo's words.
From afar, she had been keeping a close eye on this area.
Her gaze was incredibly sharp!
Searching for Lin Fan's figure.
Accompanying her were the Zhou family's bodyguards.
If they found Lin Fan, she'd have her bodyguards cause some trouble for him.
Just to delay things a bit!
In any case, she couldn't let this Lin Fan have a chance to tip off Shen Manni.
As they entered,
They didn't see Lin Fan anywhere.
In the morning, Lin Fan had seriously lost face. He only took the security job to get close to Shen Manni.
It wasn't to make a living.
So most of the time, Lin Fan was in a state of absenteeism.
"May I ask what brings President Zhou to our company?" Shen Manni's personal secretary came out to greet them.
Zhou Qiaoqiao instantly channeled her inner Oscar-winning actress, getting into character in a second. Her brows furrowed with slight anger, her tone somewhat displeased.
"President Xu has sent me to deliver a grand gift to your company!"
"What kind of gift?" the secretary asked instinctively.
Zhou Qiaoqiao said sarcastically, "Your company's business must really be booming if even a mere secretary dares to question me."
The secretary's face paled, and she apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, President Zhou. I'll go notify President Shen right away."
Shortly after, Shen Manni appeared, accompanied by her father, Shen Cheng.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Cheng worried his daughter couldn't handle it alone.
So he came along with her.
After all, Zhou Qiaoqiao was no pushover.
The two women's gazes clashed in mid-air.
One an ice beauty, the other a fiery vixen.
Both were rare gems in this world.
Either one would be fatally attractive to any man.
Experience trumps youth.
Shen Cheng's face broke into a foxy smile as he greeted them, "President Zhou, may I ask what brings you to our corporation?"
"I heard from Manni's secretary that you have a gift for us. We shouldn't accept favors without reason, so please convey our thanks to Young Master Xu in advance."
The benefits Xu Mo had brought to the Shen family were simply too numerous.
And now another grand gift.
When Shen Cheng came over, his steps were noticeably quick!
"Heh... old fox!" Zhou Qiaoqiao sneered inwardly.
Shen Cheng spoke of not accepting favors without reason, but he hadn't explicitly stated they wouldn't accept this gift!
It seemed he was planning to observe the situation first.
Before making a final decision.
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't respond, instead looking around.
"Chairman Shen, is this how your company treats guests? Talking business outside? Are you sure?"
Shen Cheng pondered for a moment. Regardless of whether they'd accept the gift or not,
At least they couldn't fail in etiquette.
"President Zhou, please, let's talk in the conference room."
Shen Cheng was quite the old hand himself.
Xu Mo liked his daughter.
He knew this full well, and had considered matchmaking the two.
But his daughter adamantly refused!
He had no choice in the matter.
Even so, Xu Mo would still send over cooperation agreements and business deals.
Over time, he subconsciously began to view Xu Mo as a little god of wealth.
This visit might also bring good fortune.
"Damn! Is Young Master Xu always this generous? Sending his fiancée to deliver money to our President Shen."
"My god! If I had a fiancée like that, I'd definitely cherish her and treat her like a precious gem."
"It's so enviable. I wonder how Young Master Xu managed to tame President Zhou? I'd love to know."
"Don't pry into the affairs of the upper echelons of society."
In the conference room.
Shen Cheng smiled and said,
"President Zhou, can you tell us what this gift is now?"
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was no exception, "It's regarding Hongtu Real Estate."
Zhou Qiaoqiao's calm voice
Gave the Shen father and daughter quite a shock!
Hongtu Real Estate was a juicy piece of meat.
They also wanted to acquire it!
But the priority right to acquire was with the Xu family. If the Xu family didn't let go, they had absolutely no way to get it!
Shen Cheng excitedly stood up and said, "President Zhou, is what you're saying true?!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded without hesitation.
At this, Shen Cheng became even more delighted.
Although Shen Manni was equally pleased, she felt something was amiss about this situation.
How could Zhou Qiaoqiao, who usually disagreed with Xu Mo and was his fiancée in name only, willingly come here as his spokesperson?
Surely someone of her status, a proud daughter of heaven, wouldn't want to do this, right?
Was she being forced?
That seemed even more unlikely.
Shen Manni understood Zhou Qiaoqiao's temperament, just as the other understood hers.
The two women's ways of doing things were extremely similar in some aspects.
They were both the type who disliked being forced to do things.
"President Zhou, before we continue, could you answer a question for me? Why are you willingly acting as President Xu's messenger?"
The first confrontation began!
Shen Manni and Zhou Qiaoqiao's gazes locked!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's expression remained unchanged.
But Li Ming and the others had already started to panic.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was not easy to deal with.
Shen Manni was no pushover either.
The silent war between women
Can sometimes be more brutal and heart-stopping than two men grappling and beating each other!
Li Ming didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Afraid they might give themselves away.
Then, Zhou Qiaoqiao put on an extremely disappointed expression.
"You think I want to be here? That bastard said to first offer Hongtu's shares to the Shen family. Only if the Shen family doesn't accept can the Zhou family make a move."
Then she switched to an expression of resentment and unwillingness.
"And to think I'm still his fiancée."
"He thinks of outsiders first for good things. This marriage clearly can't go on. The sooner we separate, the sooner I'll be free!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao portrayed the role of an aggrieved wife to perfection.
To onlookers, it really seemed quite convincing.
After she finished speaking, the silence was more powerful than any words.
The Shen father and daughter simultaneously realized why Li Ming had come along.
It was to prevent Zhou Qiaoqiao from not relaying Xu Mo's instructions clearly and completely.
That's why someone from Xu Corporation was sent to accompany her.
Brilliant!! It was simply too brilliant!
Shen Cheng even felt like kissing Xu Mo's face a few times.
This was truly a god of wealth!
And when sending wealth, he thought of the Shen family first!
What a good kid!
Too bad his daughter just couldn't see it, nothing he could do about that!
The Shen family had grown accustomed to enjoying Xu Mo's benefits, and they didn't see them as favors, but as things that rightfully belonged to the Shen family.
The saying "A favor of a pint breeds resentment of a pound" would be an understatement.
"Haha... My worthy nephew has really put his heart into this. If only he were my son-in-law, how wonderful that would be."
Shen Cheng laughed smugly.

Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
