645 The Icing on the Cake
Zhang Bo understood. “Those people from the underworld were instructed by him. In the end, he didn’t get any benefits. In fact, he didn’t even get anything. So, he went straight to the people in the government and asked Sun Ru to submit physical evidence and serve as a witness so the report about the Soaring Clouds Group would be quickly accepted.”
Chu Ning nodded. She didn’t have many enemies, but most of them were powerful. Those who had conflicts of interest were even more powerful, so she could only eliminate them one by one.
First was Yang Feng. They had already reached an agreement to cooperate. Although he was not trustworthy, he would not go back on his words.
Then there was Zhou Hao. This person was probably busy fighting with Zhou Wei. Ever since Cloud Shopping had been transferred to him, his arrogant personality made him not consider Chu Ning a worthy opponent. Even more so when he fought with Zhou Wei in full swing; he would completely forget about Chu Ning.
Yan Shen’s sister? If it was her, Yan Shen should have called her by now. There was no news yet. It could not be ruled out that he still did not know, but the possibility was not high.
This time, the goal was very clear.
Rongwei Group. Previously, she had instigated Deng Yu to defect and barged into Rongwei. It was a little impolite. Later on, she accidentally found out about the secret of the real and fake Zhang Rong. No matter what, the real Zhang Rong would not let her off.
However, if he wanted to attack her in this way and knock her down, he would be underestimating his opponent.
Chu Ning was not in a hurry. Although she already had her own suspicions, it was not easy to make a move without evidence. She was only waiting for Zhang Rong to reach out so that she could grab hold of him. At that time, she would take revenge.
There was nothing else to do there. Later, Zhang Bo would go and calm the employees’ emotions and not let them panic. She also needed to prepare for a counter-attack.
Chu Ning drove home and received a call from Xu Xi when she was checking the evidence. “Hello? What’s up?”
Xu Xi’s tone carried a hint of worry. “I heard from Eldest Uncle that your company has been investigated. For the time being, it’s been determined that you’re evading tax. What’s going on? Do you need help?”
“The news spread so fast?” Chu Ning said calmly. “The staff from the Industry and Commerce Bureau just stepped out of my office and haven’t even arrived at their company yet, and you already know?”
Xu Xi was silent for a moment. “What secrets are there in the government? Other than those confidential documents, this kind of thing had been targeted almost from the beginning of the report.”
He was a little embarrassed and said, “What’s more, I… I asked my uncle to pay more attention to you and the Soaring Clouds Group.”
Xu Xi did not wait for a reply from Chu Ning and hurriedly explained, “This is not a big deal to my uncle and me. Besides, I don’t have any other intentions. We’re classmates. I’ll help as much as I can.”
Xu Xi waited for a few seconds, but did not hear Chu Ning’s response. He secretly slapped his own mouth and blamed himself. He clearly wanted to know more about her and provide help when she needed it, but in the end, he made it sound like he was doing business and separating public and private matters.
Chu Ning didn’t have any other thoughts when she heard Xu Xi’s words. She didn’t say anything purely because she was emotional. No wonder those rich people were so desperate to squeeze into Jingyuan High School. Learning and the atmosphere were part of it. The friendship between the students and the parents behind them were priceless.
Xu Xi was frustrated and worried when he did not hear Chu Ning’s response. “Chu Ning? Hello? Can you hear me?”
Chu Ning came back to her senses. “Yes, yes, I can.” Chu Ning smiled when she heard the low tone of his voice. “Don’t worry. I don’t care about this. Besides, I still have to thank you for telling me about this!”
When Xu Xi heard her say that, the depression that had just appeared was instantly suppressed by joy.
“Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with this report,” Chu Ning comforted him. “You haven’t told me why you’re looking for me yet.”
“My uncle told me that the person who reported it was a woman,” Xu Xi said shyly. “Her surname was Sun, but he didn’t pay attention to her actual name. He heard that it was the Rongwei Group.”
Chu Ning confirmed her guess and said delightedly, “As expected! I knew it was them!”
When Xu Xi heard this, he knew that he was a step too late. He was a little disappointed that he could not help Chu Ning. However, he still pulled himself together and joked with Chu Ning. “To think I thought I’d be offering timely help. However, with President Chu’s intelligence, you must have guessed it long ago.”
Xu Xi had a bitter taste in his mouth. It made sense. Chu Ning was such a powerful person. How could she not even know about this?
Chu Ning smiled and said, “Although your help wasn’t timely, it’s indeed icing on the cake! Although Rongwei is the biggest suspect, if it wasn’t for your information, I would still have to continue to eliminate and analyze. Thank you so much, Xu Xi.”
