Zhan Nanbei had never seen Zhan Beijue be so subservient to anyone.
Yesterday, she saw him busy at the company all day, his feet never touching the ground, completely overwhelmed. That's why he was looking at her with more displeasure today.
After Jiang Nanfang finished her question, she raised an eyebrow.
"What? Are you disappointed that my second brother didn't personally deliver breakfast to you?"
"You're something else. It's been so many years since you divorced, and you can still make your ex-husband so unforgettable, willing to skip his own breakfast just to deliver it to you. You've got some skills."
The unspoken grievances between women are something only women can understand.
Although Zhou Jinbei didn't show it much, Jiang Nanfang knew she disliked her.
However, she didn't have the time to argue with her now.
She had seen yesterday's news and her attention was now focused on Zhan Beijue.
"Did something happen to him?"
Zhou Jinbei stated directly.
"Yes, something serious happened to him. I assume you saw the news."
"Not only did the internet explode, but he was also summoned for a talk by the Technical Security Bureau and ordered to rectify the situation. Now, not only are the shareholders very dissatisfied with him, but his grandfather is also returning from abroad to teach him a lesson."
"Someone avenged you and took revenge on him, do you feel great?"
Was it that serious?
He was actually summoned by the Technical Security Bureau.
And his grandfather, she hadn't heard from him in a long time, and even he knew about it?
As a senior executive of a company, Jiang Nanfang knew the seriousness of the matter.
"How is he now?"
"How would I know? He hasn't returned all night; he's probably been scolded badly."
Zhou Jinbei sarcastically handed her the breakfast.
"But he still messaged me early this morning asking me to bring you food. He's good to you, isn't he? Hurry up and eat!"
No matter how unfeeling Jiang Nanfang was, she couldn't eat at a time like this.
She took the breakfast and asked Zhou Jinbei, using her own analyzed points.
"You only just took over the products from Xin Shi Jie. According to the contract terms, they bear the main responsibility. Did Zhan Beijue contact Mr. Li?"
"Isn't he quite familiar with him? He developed the product himself, so he should be the one to resolve it. Why haven't I heard him speak up?"
Zhou Jinbei wasn't very familiar with this, only saying.
"I already told you, he was called away for a talk all day yesterday, and after returning in the afternoon, he was summoned by his grandfather. He's been busy non-stop all day..."
"Anyway, you can't help, so there's no point in talking so much. Just take care of yourself."
Neither of them was in the mood to chat, and soon the door closed.
Lu Mingzhe, who was sweetly lost in love, came to pick up Chen Jiaojiao for school.
After saying goodbye to the two women, Jiang Nanfang went to the company and her first task was to open her computer to check the news online.
Fortunately, the overwhelming news like yesterday was gone.
When she searched using keywords, she could find some discussion posts with very little attention.
Presumably, the Zhan Corporation had already suppressed the heat.
However, at the bottom of the posts, people were still continuously insulting the Zhan Corporation.
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more fantastically, as if they had been truly harmed by the Zhan Corporation, Jiang Nanfang became angry and registered a small account to retort a few words.
Although this had no effect on the current situation.
It was at least some psychological comfort.
After doing this, she still felt uneasy.
Thinking of that Mr. Li, she couldn't help but search his name and check his recent activities.
It was better not to check, but after checking, she discovered that this guy either had psychological preparation long ago or it was a coincidence.
He had actually gone abroad the day after all the handovers were completed.
He was currently in Switzerland.
Once a person goes abroad, the issues involved become troublesome.
The matter ended here.
Jiang Nanfang knew with her toes that Zhan Beijue had been framed.
However, that Li Shiyan seemed quite familiar with him and knew Zhan Beijue's status in Nancheng.
How could he have such audacity to frame him so openly?
Zhan Residence.
Zhan Beijue had not slept all night.
He sat by the window, a cigarette burning continuously between his fingers.
In just over 20 hours, a layer of dark stubble had appeared on his chin, and he looked much more haggard.
He kept replaying what his grandfather had said.
"Regardless of past events, your elder brother is your father's biological blood relative. At this crucial moment when the Zhan family needs people, we should let him return."
"In the past, due to your mother's face, he lived alone abroad. In fact, our Zhan family owes him."
"Women like to dwell on personal gains and losses; men always have to have a broader perspective."
"It hasn't been easy for you to manage the company alone all these years. Your elder brother has accumulated a lot of experience in intelligent products abroad. Let him come back to help you."
"For the sake of my old bones. For the sake of the Zhan Corporation's brand that has been maintained for many years. You two should get along well."
"Brothers working together can break metal. We cannot let outsiders laugh at us."
Not many people outside knew that Zhan Beijue was the second son in the Zhan family.
Because from a normal person's perspective, he was the legitimate eldest grandson of the Zhan family.
But before his father and mother's marriage, his father had a girlfriend and had already given birth to an elder brother for him.
Because his elder brother's mother was just a nightclub girl, he couldn't enter the Zhan family.
After his mother married, she treated him as a thorn in her side and a splinter in her flesh.
She made his father send him far away to abroad, out of sight and out of mind.
Zhan Beijue had always known about this person's existence since he was young, but he had never interacted with him.
Upon his sudden return, the grandfather demanded that they jointly manage the company and that the brothers get along harmoniously.
He found it somewhat difficult to accept.
But whether he accepted it or not, the fact already existed, and Zhan Beijue didn't want to dwell on it.
If it were a few years ago, he still cared about money and reputation.
Men are born to be species that like to conquer territories.
He wanted to prove his abilities through one beautiful project after another.
But after so many years, he had grown weary of it.
Every day, he shuttled through various businesses like an emotionless robot.
No friends, no rest, no love.
He was tired of such a life.
Especially now that Jiang Nanfang was back.
He knew he had four lovely children.
Career or no career was no longer important to him.
As long as the Zhan Corporation's banner didn't fall, and his grandfather's reputation wasn't tarnished by him.
From now on, whoever wanted to prove themselves could go ahead and do so.
He wanted to withdraw.
Take Jiang Nanfang and their children.
Go to a place where no one knew them.
Get a small to medium-sized job and live out the rest of his life peacefully.
When dawn broke, he went to the bathroom to wash up, shave, change into clean clothes, and greet his grandfather and elder brother, who were eating breakfast downstairs.
"Morning."
This was the first time Zhan Beijue had spoken to his elder brother proactively since they met yesterday.
His elder brother immediately looked at him with a complicated expression.
Zhan Beijue pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.
"Come to the company with me after you finish eating."
