This was the first time he had been called back to T City in such a long time since he had been back in the summer. Since he was in such a hurry, it must have been something very important that he didn't dare to delay for even a second.
Sato remained on the island, and he could contact Sato at any time to find out what was going on on the island.
Arriving at the airport, he alighted and a man in his forties or fifties walked towards him. Whether it was his clothes or temperament, he showed off his extraordinary status and value. This man was Zhang Quan.
"Young Master Yintian." Zhang Quan recognized Xia Yang at a glance. He was here specifically to wait for him. "Hello, my name is Zhang Quan."
Zhang Quan? Cheyenne looked at him quizzically. "You want something from me?"
"Oh Rant, perhaps Mr. Yintian didn't have the time to tell you that I was the one who gave him Ling Bai's plan."
Xia Yang was stunned. So this was the spy.
Zhang Quan calmly said, "This proposal was acquired by me after a long and arduous journey. Ling Qiao will definitely not let me off, so …"
He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. "I'm rushing to get on the plane," he said. "I'll let you know what you're worried about. As for what you're going to do, it's up to him." Since he was a traitor, there was nothing much to say. He could even betray the Ling Bai Group, which he had worked hard for decades, and this kind of person was of the lowest class.
"Good, good, please give my regards to Mr. Yintian. If he can guarantee the safety of me and my family, I have a way to bring the essence of the Yintian Enterprise into the Chinese market."
Xia Yang was stunned. This Zhang Quan really could not be underestimated. "Alright, I will pass on the information."
When Zhang Quan returned home, he saw the bright Bentley parked in front of his house.
Ling Qiao smiled as he got off the car. That smile caused him to tremble with fear. That's right, he was a little afraid of Ling Qiao now.
"Director Zhang, you're so relaxed? Where did you go? "
Zhang Quan panicked, but his expression remained unchanged. He slightly raised his head and said, "Retiring at home is boring. If you have time, go for a walk."
Ling Qiao smiled and said, "It's good if you have the time to go out for a walk. After retiring, it's really boring. Just take it as exercise." "You still don't know why I came to see you, do you?"
Zhang Quan continued to work on the riddle with him, "You were looking for me to discuss about the shares? You've convinced the other old shareholders, so I can't afford to be a big deal by myself. "
"That's true." Ling Qiao laughed loudly, "Your matter has taken quite a bit of effort from me!"
Zhang Quan's expression turned to panic as he forced out a dry laugh. It was a fake smile.
Deep in his heart, he was willing to believe that Zhang Quan would not betray Ling Qiao, but the evidence was still in his grasp, so he had no choice but to believe him, "Director Zhang, I won't beat around the bush, what are you doing with Ling Bai's confidential documents? This is stealing. If you call the police, you'll go to jail. "
Actually, Ling Qiao respected his seniors a lot, as they were the backbone of his grandparents. Without them and Ling Bai's help, he really did not want to make a big deal out of this, which was why he came to find Ling Qiao in private.
Zhang Quan did not deny it. Since the matter had been exposed, he did not want to avoid it anymore. You being direct would also make me feel more straightforward. I know you always view me as a thorn in your side, so of course I want to protect myself with that bit of capital. "
"You … No matter what, I still called you Director Zhang, did you think that I would harm you? " Ling Qiao was extremely vexed. He had always wholeheartedly respected this elder, but who knew that this elder would actually guard against him at all times.
Zhang Quan sighed, "Ling Qiao, you can't blame me for this, but you can't either. Blame it on this circle, this circle is just like that, those who treat you kindly on the surface secretly want to kill you too much."
Ling Qiao's tone softened. What Zhang Quan said was right. In this circle, self-deception was not something that could be easily explained with just a single sentence or two, "Director Zhang, do you know what kind of damage you will cause to Ling Bai?"
"Ling Bai also has his share. How could I be so despicable and sell him out?" His face remained unmoved as he told the lie, "I really only came to protect myself. Besides, the change was not in time with the plan. Once the plan changed, this secret would become rubbish. What danger could be there for Ling Bai?"
Yes, Zhang Quan was right. As long as he made a change in his decision, that proposal would be trash and would be useless to him. But the problem was, this proposal definitely could not fall into the hands of others, especially the Yintian Corporation.
"Okay, okay, I'm already retired and won't care about Ling Bai anymore. I watched you grow up, watched you grow up step by step, so I can be considered your elder. I also hope that you can manage Ling Bai well." Zhang Quan lit a cigarette and violently smoked.
Rather than listening to his nonsense here, it was better to do some practical work, "Director Zhang, then I won't disturb you anymore. I have evidence for this crime of theft, so I will keep it for now, but, I will be making a fool of myself first, if you dare to reveal the plan, then don't blame me for being merciless."
"Take care, farewell." Zhang Quan's heart was thumping. If such a huge weakness were to fall into Ling Qiao's hands, wouldn't that mean that he would be stuck here for the rest of his life? The problem was that he had given the proposal to Yintian.
After meeting with Zhang Quan, Ling Qiao returned to the company. He had gone to Lin City for a long time, and after coming back, he was in a rush to get a ring to catch up to the cruise ship. This time when he returned, he also wanted to investigate in detail what Zhang Quan had stolen other than the tourism planning of the island.
Ling Bai Group, Office of the President
"Airport? What's he doing at the airport? " Ling Qiao's heart tightened. Luckily, he had been careful enough to let Deng Zijun investigate Zhang Quan's whereabouts, "What is he doing at the airport?"
"Today's plane will fly to Hokkaido in the summer, so it should be on the plane by now," said Deng.
"Hoh, I can't kick him out. If I don't kick him out, he left by himself." Ling Qiao sneered, but felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it, "I never thought that Zhang Quan would use such a low-level method to steal. If I was a little more ruthless, he would have gone to jail."
Deng Zijun said, "Since the situation is already like this, I think we should re-plan the island. This month, Shu Shu will focus on the island in the middle of the lake. She's focused on the competition, so you will be in charge of the overall situation.
Ling Qiao thanked him from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately, he was able to find him again. In the summer, Yang's ambition this time was great. His goal was not to compete in the creative competition, but to compete in the competitive bidding. He wanted to obtain the rights to manage the tourism business of the island. But I won't let him get it this time. "
"Summer Jan will come back sooner or later. Then he will tell Shushu... I'm just worried about her safety. "
Ling Qiao waved his hand, "It's fine, I'm watching. Anyway, he went back to Hokkaido, ShuShu won't be in any danger." and so on... Since they were going to the airport with Zhang Quan, Xia Yang also went to the airport. "Crap!" He heavily knocked on the table, "Zhang Quan and Xia Yang have joined hands."
"What?" Deng Zijun also had a face full of surprise, one was an old core member of the Ling Bai Group who was living and dying together, and the other was an outsider who wanted to defeat Ling Bai. Zhang Quan is so cunning, so despicable. "
Ling Qiao said unwaveringly, "I was originally hesitant, but it seems that I must fight this battle. I must obtain the island at the heart of the lake."
"Yes." Since Ling Qiao was so determined, Deng Zijun naturally stood on his side, "We are all your backers, and since they are joining hands, then the plan will definitely be taken by them. We need to come up with a better plan than before."
Ling Qiao pondered for a moment. It was useless to continue discussing with Zhang Quan. The most important thing would be to revise the proposal on the island as soon as possible. However, such a big project was not something that could be changed so easily. I will return to the island tomorrow. You will continue to carry the burden here. "
"Alright."
When Ling Qiao sent a message to Shu Shu, Shu Shu was following the group in the forest of the island. The island was deep and remote, so she didn't dare to wander around alone. Since Ling Qiao would be back tomorrow, he might as well explore it with the rest of the group.
Along the way, everyone received a lot of goods. Not far from the lake was a small hill and a deep path leading straight to the bottom. Besides the narrow entrance, the inside suddenly opened up. It was a karst cave, but the dim light would need a short time to get used to.
It was very cool in the cave, and everyone put on their self-abased coats. The top of the cave was dripping water from time to time, perhaps because of the humidity.
"Will this water be poisonous?"
"Yeah, it's been dark here all year long and no one has come to survey it. I don't think we should be so bold."
"That's right, that's right. We should have the city send someone to investigate and make sure it's safe before we come back."
Everyone kept talking, and ShuShu made sense, so she followed them out of the cave.
She was just a contestant in the creative competition and could walk around the construction area. However, in order to draw a painting with a artistic conception and a soul, she had to have some understanding of the island.
She had neither the experience of Chen Fang's painting illustrations nor the experience of drawing cartoons in the summer. She was just a caricature artist who worked in a different line, so she had to put in several times more effort than others.
Returning to the yacht, Chen Fang looked at her strangely and said, "Oh, do you still need to go out and bask in the sun?" Is this an act, or what? With such a big backing like you, we're all just foils to you. "
Shu Shu ignored her. She knew that her mouth was the worst off as she walked straight to her room.
"Wait …" Chen Fang blocked her way, smiled and said, "Shu Shu, I know my mouth is straight. You don't need to take my words to heart, from now on we are colleagues, no matter who gets the award, it will be our publishing firm's honor, right? I apologize for not covering up my words in the past. If your excellency doesn't care about this lowly one, then don't bother with me. "
Shu Shu was puzzled. What was going on? Did Chen Fang change her personality? It was even faster than flipping through a book. She had mocked her with the first sentence and made peace with her with the second. She was simply baffling.
"You, ah, you don't have to worry about anything when you have a big backer. I'm just working for you, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, I'll need your help. Of course, if you don't understand anything about illustrations, you can also ask me, no matter what, I have more experience than you do."
