"It's fine, I deliberately had a big fight with him, and Xiao Xiba has already driven away!" Guan Shilan said nonchalantly, then looked at Li Ziqing apologetically, "Sister, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this Xiao Xiba to be so disrespectful to you. If I had known, I would have toyed with him a bit longer and asked you out after I was absolutely sure."
Li Ziqing smiled and shook her head.
"Forget it, it's not your fault. High-class hunters often appear as prey. You thought you had Xiao Xiba completely hooked, but you didn't realize he was just playing with you. I see it clearly now, his game is much higher than yours. The honey trap route won't work for us."
Chen Xiao was stunned by the back-and-forth between Li Ziqing and Guan Shilan.
"I say, you two, can someone explain to me what this is all about?"
Li Ziqing chuckled, "Silly, can't you tell yet?"
Guan Shilan asked, "Sister, haven't you told brother-in-law yet?"
Li Ziqing pouted, "Why don't you tell him?"
Guan Shilan grinned and said, "Actually, Sister Ziqing is my boss, and I'm a corporate spy she trained."
Li Ziqing, as Zhu Yeqing, was not to be trifled with. She secretly cultivated a large number of talents, all of whom were women and not particularly skilled in combat. Their greatest strengths lay in intelligence work, and in corporate espionage like Guan Shilan.
Chen Xiao suddenly understood, "So you and that Jin Zaesuk actually didn't know each other for long, right?"
"Three days." Guan Shilan held up three fingers. "The day Jin Zaesuk arrived in Jiangcheng, I captured him. Today is the third day."
Chen Xiao was speechless again. Guan Shilan's thinking was a bit naive. Jin Zaesuk was from the prestigious Jin family; what kind of beauties hadn't he seen or played with? He might have already seen through Guan Shilan's honey trap. Li Ziqing clearly knew this too. She said lightly, "It's normal for Jin Zaesuk not to take the bait. After all, he's a member of the Jin family, and he can easily see through such petty tricks."
Hearing this, Guan Shilan retorted, "I haven't gained nothing. I've investigated clearly these past few days. Jin Zaesuk is the head of a biotech company under the Gaishi Group. He came to Jiangcheng this time to invest in Anchen Technology."
Upon hearing this, Li Ziqing's lips pouted, and she muttered, "I guessed it. Besides that woman, who else could cause such a stir..."
Guan Shilan gave Chen Xiao a meaningful look, but Chen Xiao was completely clueless.
"What kind of company is Anchen Technology? Is it also in Jiangcheng? Why have I never heard of it?"
Li Ziqing rolled her eyes and said weakly, "Shilan, why don't you tell him?"
Guan Shilan introduced, "Brother-in-law, doesn't the name Anchen Technology strike you as odd?"
Chen Xiao shook his head in confusion. This time, even Guan Shilan rolled her eyes.
"Let me give you a hint, Song Anran... Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao suddenly understood and looked embarrassed. "So this company was founded by Song Anran?"
Li Ziqing said impatiently, "Of course. Song Anran wants you to submit to her. Didn't she contact you?"
Chen Xiao became even more embarrassed and chuckled, "I haven't been in contact with her for a long time."
At this moment, Chen Xiao had figured it all out. Jin Zaesuk's true intention was not merely to invest. The Gaishi Group's purpose in investing in Anchen Technology was for the world-changing new transaminase. And when he had caused such a stir at the press conference that day, although major world organizations had reacted quickly and could conceal it from the general public, they couldn't hide it from people like Jin Zaesuk. That's why he recognized him. This also explained why Li Ziqing looked displeased. For some reason, even though there was nothing between Chen Xiao and Song Anran, Chen Xiao always felt a bit guilty whenever Song Anran was mentioned in front of Li Ziqing. So he quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Ziqing, why do you insist on cooperating with the Jin family? We have so many industries now, there's no need to rush into cooperation with them."
When Chen Xiao brought this topic up, Li Ziqing's expression turned serious. "Precisely because we have too many industries and ample funds, expanding into overseas markets is imperative. But if we explore it on our own, the cost will be too high. If we can cooperate with the Gaishi Group, we can easily break into overseas markets through them."
Li Ziqing's explanation was concise, and Chen Xiao immediately understood. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the He Corporation and tentatively asked, "Are there no other options for breaking into overseas markets? Do you think cooperating with the He Corporation could achieve the same effect?"
"The He Corporation?" Li Ziqing was slightly taken aback at first, then her face showed a look of shock. "Are you talking about the He Corporation from Hong Kong?"
Chen Xiao nodded, "That's right."
Li Ziqing suddenly became excited, "Chen Xiao, do you have connections with people from the He Corporation? Can you arrange for our cooperation?"
"Of course!" Chen Xiao said casually, "Because the actual owner of the He Corporation now is me."
Li Ziqing was stunned. "You're not playing with me, are you?"
"Do I look like I'm playing with you? I'll give you He Xinyi's contact information later. Just say you're my wife, and she'll know how to treat you. As for the specifics of the cooperation, you can discuss it yourselves; I won't interfere." Chen Xiao continued to be the hands-off manager.
"Although the He Corporation's financial strength is not as good as the Gaishi Group, it is a better cooperation partner than the Gaishi Group!" Li Ziqing, in her excitement, kissed Chen Xiao on the cheek.
"Husband, I really love you to death!"
Guan Shilan, standing beside them, was already dumbfounded. She knew that Li Ziqing's business had grown so large because of this brother-in-law. However, she hadn't known the extent of Chen Xiao's capabilities before. But when Chen Xiao casually said that the He Corporation belonged to him, Guan Shilan finally had a general understanding of Chen Xiao's strength. At this moment, she understood why Li Ziqing, who had always treated men as stepping stones, was so devoted to Chen Xiao. She had previously thought that she was not much inferior to Li Ziqing, and could even be said to have surpassed her. However, at this moment, she realized that compared to Li Ziqing, she was still dozens of levels behind!
