This situation shocked not only Song Zhi but also Lu Linshen and Qin Yu. Especially Qin Yu, who nearly fainted when he saw the figures!

“Lao Lu, quickly help me, my legs are a bit weak.” This was over seventy million! Their company had been running around for months over investments of just hundreds of thousands. Qin Yu almost cried on the spot. How could the gap between people be this big?

Lu Linshen: “…”

Although he found it somewhat annoying, he still helped Qin Yu.

“Lao Lu, our company has such good vision. Now we’ve really latched onto a big leg!” And a really thick one at that!

Previously, Qin Yu had some small reservations about Meng Suihuan. He thought her demands were just too high. A website with requirements that could almost fill a small essay. But now, he only had one thought. The world is huge, but the evil capitalist is the greatest! Whatever Meng Suihuan says goes!

Although Lu Linshen didn’t feel the same depth of emotion as Qin Yu, he too was completely shocked by Meng Suihuan’s results. His eyes were now filled with intense fire.

After this battle, East Lake Huayuan’s high-end community was fully established as a famous project in Ning City. And their Xuyu company, alongside East Lake Huayuan, had solidified its foothold in the city. It had become the talk of the town.

Song Zhi and the others shared in the pride of the success.

Lao Zhou, in a mischievous mood, dragged Song Zhi and a group of his brothers to Zhao Shenglun’s high-end community. At such a time, it was only natural to go find trouble.

Meng Suihuan, of course, was also interested, especially since Zhao Shenglun had stolen her plan. She was eager to see him lose face in person. More importantly, there were still some matters regarding Zhao Shenglun that she needed to attend to.

“Let’s go.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Lao Zhou and the others became even more excited. They knew their boss’s sharp tongue all too well—she’d never lost a battle of words!

And so, the group set off for a change of location. Qin Yu, naturally curious about such matters, dragged Lu Linshen along and joined the group.

Zhao Shenglun’s place was about half an hour away from Meng Suihuan’s project. Though they didn’t walk quickly, Meng Suihuan was still out of breath and exhausted. As they walked, she found herself at the back of the group.

Her face flushed red, beads of sweat covering her forehead. In that moment, she realized she really needed a car!

While she was lost in thought, a hand stretched out beside her, and a deep voice sounded.

“Have some water.”

Meng Suihuan glanced over and realized it was Lu Linshen. She took the bottle from him, as she was indeed a bit thirsty. She unscrewed the cap, but just as she was about to do so, she suddenly remembered something.

Her motion stopped, and she handed the bottle back to Lu Linshen.

“I can’t open it.”

Lu Linshen: “???”

He looked at her in confusion, but ultimately reached out, took the bottle, and twisted off the cap. He then handed it back to Meng Suihuan.

“Drink it.”

Meng Suihuan slowly extended her hand, deliberately holding onto Lu Linshen’s hand while grabbing the water. Before Lu Linshen could react, she hurriedly moved her hand upwards and sincerely said to him, “Sorry.”

Lu Linshen genuinely didn’t react immediately. Especially when she suddenly grabbed his hand, he could clearly feel his breath faltering for a second. However, in the blink of an eye, she released her grip and apologized.

Before he could say anything, she spoke again.

“Can I let go now?”

Only then did he realize that he and Meng Suihuan were both holding the bottle of water—one on top, one on the bottom.

Lu Linshen: “…”

He froze for a second before quickly retracting his hand. Upon seeing his reaction, Meng Suihuan secretly laughed to herself.

“Tsk. Today’s life value is in the bag! I really am a clever little thing!!”

When the group arrived at the high-end community built by Zhao Shenglun, they happened to witness him reprimanding his subordinates.

Seeing this scene, Meng Suihuan clapped her hands in a fitting manner. “Boss Zhao is right, your subordinates are really useless.”

“They can’t even sell a house.”

Her words were sharp and sarcastic.

Zhao Shenglun’s face immediately turned as black as charcoal when he heard this.

“What are you doing here? Watching me, Zhao Shenglun, make a fool of myself?”

“Now that you’ve seen it, you can leave!”

Zhao Shenglun’s tone was naturally unfriendly, but Meng Suihuan felt quite comfortable hearing it. She even kindly advised him.

“Such a small thing made Zhao Boss angry? When my company’s plan was stolen by some thieves, I didn’t even mind. After all, getting angry only harms oneself.”

Zhao Shenglun: “…”

Zhao Shenglun: “Song Zhi, this time I lost, but I didn’t lose to you—I lost to this woman! Don’t gloat!”

“Pfffft—”

Meng Suihuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Sorry, but it’s pretty embarrassing to lose to a woman.”

Zhao Shenglun: “…”

The others: “…”

Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh in a way that echoed loudly, his laughter reaching the skies. Meanwhile, Zhao Shenglun was about to spit blood in anger.

Meng Suihuan innocently blinked and took half a step back.

“I’ll stay away for now, in case he sees me and faints.”

“That way, you all won’t get a chance to enjoy the verbal sparring.”

Lao Zhou couldn’t hold back any longer, especially seeing his boss having so much fun, cursing without softening his words.

If anyone hated Zhao Shenglun the most here, it had to be Song Zhi. After all, Zhao Shenglun had ruined his project and taken away the company’s funds and assets! He’d been bottling up anger for a long time.

Encouraged by Lao Zhou and the others, that pent-up anger erupted all at once.

Song Zhi then mimicked Meng Suihuan’s tone and Lao Zhou’s lines, passionately venting all the resentment he’d been holding inside.

It felt satisfying.

Meng Suihuan, on the side, was watching and laughing. Occasionally, she threw in a few comments to help Song Zhi out.

Seeing that Zhao Shenglun was nearly fainting from anger, Meng Suihuan quickly spoke up to stop it, since there were still unresolved matters at hand.

She pulled out a large stack of contracts from her pocket and smiled at Zhao Shenglun.

“Boss Zhao, don’t pass out just yet. I need you to settle the payment you owe me.”

Zhao Shenglun: “???”

Zhao Shenglun: “When did I owe you money?”

Meng Suihuan chuckled, “When you were building this building, you bought materials and cement on credit. Sorry, that batch of goods came from me.” She had used a little trick to disguise the deal. Otherwise, how could he have taken the bait?

She smiled and showed him the contract in her hand. “Your signature and seal are right here, Boss Zhao. And now the final repayment deadline has arrived…”

“If you don’t pay up, well, I’ll have no choice but to reluctantly take over the property from you and sell it off for you.”

Zhao Shenglun was so enraged he almost spat blood, shouting, “Despicable!”

Meng Suihuan shrugged. “Boss Zhao, you flatter me. I’m just using the same methods you would. Compared to you, I can’t possibly be called despicable.”

“I’m a reasonable person. I’m just here to remind you today. As for the money, I’ll come to collect it in three days. I hope you cooperate, or it might end up in court, and this building might not be so easy to sell anymore!”

“You—” Zhao Shenglun’s fingers trembled, almost fainting from anger.

Meanwhile, Meng Suihuan was satisfied as she put the contract away and left in style.

On the way back, Qin Yu whispered to Lu Linshen, expressing his admiration.

“Tsk tsk, it’s true—never mess with a woman.”

“Not only can she be sharp with her words, but she’s also ruthless when it comes to digging a pit for someone!”

Just thinking about it made him tremble. Thankfully, he had never been interested in Meng Jie. Otherwise, he might have ended up with nothing left.

He patted Lu Linshen sympathetically on the shoulder. “Lao Lu, I used to be jealous of you for winning Meng Jie’s favor. Now I understand—you sacrificed yourself to protect me!”

“You’re truly a good brother!”

Lu Linshen: “…”

Before Lu Linshen could respond, a sweet voice suddenly interrupted.

“You’re right.”

“You really can’t mess with women.”

Qin Yu turned in shock and found himself face-to-face with Meng Suihuan’s smiling face.

“!!!”

“Boss!”

“I’m sorry!”

—

Meng Suihuan’s achievements had already spread throughout Ning City. Lao He, hearing the news, couldn’t help but feel happy for Meng Suihuan. She was still the same as before, stirring up the entire city in one go.

Suddenly, Lao He remembered something and headed straight for the leader’s office.

“…”

While Meng Suihuan and the others were celebrating, they unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance. Lao Zhou and the others were already familiar with Lao He and excitedly greeted him.

“Lao He!”

“Long time no see!”

Lao He smiled and greeted them, praising the East Lake Huayuan project before going to find Meng Suihuan.

Seeing the old friend, Meng Suihuan was also excited and greeted him with surprise in her voice.

“Lao He, what’s the occasion? What brought you here today?”

Lao He smiled at her and replied in a relaxed tone, “I’m here for you.”

“Oh?” Now it was Meng Suihuan’s turn to be surprised. She couldn’t resist joking, “You’re not here to give me a bonus, are you?”

Lao He shook his head, teasing her in return.

“Every day, you’re thinking about bonuses.”

They exchanged a smile. Lao He didn’t keep it a secret and directly stated his purpose.

“There’s a new policy from above. They’re looking to recommend a batch of companies for the pilot of stock market listings. I’ve helped you secure a spot… Not sure if you’re interested in this?”

A company listing! Meng Suihuan was definitely interested. After all, when a company goes public through legitimate channels, it not only boosts its recognition but also gains the trust of the public. It was a win-win!

She expressed her thoughts clearly.

“I’m very interested!”
