Chapter 129 Zhu Wensheng's Marriage (An Atypical Business Marriage)
The next morning, Zhu Lili came to see her and told her how the matter had been resolved.
If a shareholder of the Zhu family has a problem on Zhu family property, the first thing to do is to hold the management accountable.
The management was demoted, the staff in charge of the beverages were disciplined, and when the police arrived, they also found the downstream supplier who sold the drugs to the male model, and in the process, they also took down the entire group of sellers who had harmed countless girls.
As for the so-called "male model," the police found numerous videos of him drugging and raping women on his phone. He used these videos as badges of honor to show off, and now they have become strong evidence to convict him.
Conservatively speaking, he will have to spend at least eight or nine years in prison.
Zhu Lili felt a little guilty, but Xie Junfei waved his hand, telling her not to apologize to him.
"This is something we couldn't have predicted, but it's okay."
"After this, you should at least behave yourself. Don't always rely on your talent and not practice the piano properly, instead running around playing every day."
"I heard from your brother that the master at the Paris National Museum is very meticulous. Be careful that you don't go there in a carefree manner and end up being rejected."
Lily gave a sullen "oh":
"Why do you say the same thing as my brother?"
Xie Junfei chuckled and reached out to tap her head:
"That's because we're telling the truth, but unfortunately you don't like hearing it."
Zhu Lili mumbled a couple of times, but she still listened to some of what she said.
After the last IV drip was finished, Xie Junfei removed the needle, packed her things, and went downstairs with Zhu Lili. Her older brother was waiting downstairs and greeted Zhu Lili when he saw her.
Zhu Lili looked Xie Wenzhou up and down. The man in front of her was no longer the tired and dejected person he was half a year ago. It seemed that being a boss was more comfortable than working for someone else.
Since it was a contract signing, Zhu Lili didn't bother the Xie siblings and got into her own car to go home and practice the piano.
Xie Junfei went to the Xie family with her elder brother.
Because it was the weekend, there were very few people working overtime in the building, except for Vice President Chi Jingchuan, who was waiting for them downstairs.
The contract was prepared in advance by the third brother. Xie Junfei will sell his 5% stake in the company to Chi Jingchuan for 530 million yuan. From then on, the sensitive and fragile CEO Chi will also become one of Xie's shareholders, and he will no longer have to worry about anyone spreading rumors about him.
Xie Junfei signed her name on the last page and teased Chi Jingchuan:
"Mr. Chi, wasn't it agreed that it would be 500 million? Why are you giving so much more? Are you trying to bribe the boss?"
Mr. Chi looked up at the sky speechlessly.
"Am I stupid from working so hard that I'm paying my boss to do it? This is the Chi family's coming-of-age gift to you."
Xie Junfei raised an eyebrow, but then heard Chi Jingchuan continue:
"President Zhu recently started dating Miss Chi from the second branch of the Chi family, and they are currently preparing for their engagement."
“You are the Zhu family’s goddaughter and also our relative by marriage, so naturally you should have a coming-of-age ceremony.”
Xie Junfei thought about it in her mind.
Like the Zhu family, the Chi family is a prominent family with a political background. The Zhu family is led by the maternal uncle's branch, while the Chi family's second branch inherited the mantle of their patriarch and is doing quite well now.
Xie Junfei didn't pay attention to these things, but she vaguely knew some of the inside information.
The two elders have a good relationship, and Zhu Wensheng is a promising young man, so there's nothing wrong with the eldest daughter of the Chi family's choice.
However… Xie Junfei tried hard to recall the “great achievements” of that Miss Chi—
A distinguished graduate of Cambridge University, she lived in seclusion in Norway after graduation, communicating with the outside world only through the novels and essays she regularly sent back to China for publication. A renowned feminist (a cynical version), she was known for her sharp and incisive criticism of current affairs.
Two years ago, she won a foreign literary award, becoming the first writer in China to win the award, and became a sensation across the country.
None of this is the most important.
Most importantly, this outstanding Ms. Chi once had a very "beautiful" relationship with Zhu Wensheng.
At that time, Zhu Wensheng was still an unreliable, playboy nobleman. He was assigned to the same group as this Miss Chi for a group project, but when it came time to work, he took his lover and went to Europe for a romantic getaway.
That Ms. Chi wasn't one to be trifled with either. Since they were all in the same circle and knew each other, she immediately added Zhu Wensheng's social media account to a well-known gay dating app, with his profile signature being:
"A sexy and hot bottom is feeling lonely and desperately needs a big top."
That very evening, Zhu Wensheng's private messages exploded.
The private messages contained all sorts of photos, and some people even located his city based on his social media account and wanted to deliver goods to his door. Zhu Wensheng was so scared that he scrambled back to school.
He returned to school, ready to unleash his fury and demand to know who had done it, when Ms. Chi stepped forward.
Around that time, Miss Chi's brother was promoted, and the Chi family was at the height of their influence. Everyone in the family knew each other, and their parents were also acquainted. Moreover, since she was in the wrong first, Zhu Wensheng could only vent her anger briefly before obediently doing her homework.
From then on, Zhu Wensheng couldn't stand Miss Chi in any way.
The two sparred with each other and were very willing to play around. Moreover, they had very low moral standards and engaged in civilized fighting within the bounds of the law, which almost became a common sight in the circle.
People jokingly say that the two of them are just like a bickering couple in an American TV series, seemingly disliking each other on the surface, but maybe they've actually secretly had a child together.
The contest ended when the two graduated; Zhu Wensheng returned to China to inherit the family business, while Miss Chi went into seclusion in Norway.
Unexpectedly, these two people got married in just a few years.
Xie Junfei knew Aunt Zhu's personality; if the children weren't satisfied, the marriage could simply be called off.
Therefore, Zhu Wensheng was at least willing to participate in this so-called "business marriage".
Thinking of this, Xie Junfei inexplicably recalled a very famous saying at the time:
"When two people become sworn enemies for more than five years, be wary that this tit-for-tat rivalry will turn into a romance novel."
As it turns out, this is absolutely true.
Regardless, congratulations to the newlyweds!
Xie Junfei smiled at Chi Jingchuan:
"Don't worry, once they get engaged, I'll definitely have Huo Shen bring gifts to celebrate."
Chi Jingchuan liked his eccentric younger sister very much, and smiled upon hearing this:
"Then thank you, Mr. Xie and Mr. Huo, for your presence."
