ct and friction between Xia Wei Ming's father and her today won't be resolved just by this conversation.Shaking her head, she brushed all the scattered thoughts out of her mind...……As the sky graduall...Shen Xiujin did not go on a business trip alone this time, he also brought Bai Yuxing along.

Bai Yu Xing, also known as Young Master Bai, was a son of the Bai family. He used to spar with his father frequently when he was studying medicine. On the surface, Bai Yu Xing appeared gentle and kind, but once he became serious, even his father would find him difficult to deal with.

His father couldn't resist Bai Yuxing's insistence, so he backed down and said that when the Bai family needed Bai Yuxing, Bai Yuxing had to work hard and diligently for the family.

This is the time for Bai Yu to act on behalf of his family. The Shen and Bai families have always had connections, dealings, and collaborations. This trip to England is particularly important; otherwise, the soul figures of the Shen Group and the Bai Group—Shen Xiuqin and Bai Yu respectively—would not come together.

"Stubborn." After a meeting with the other party, Bai Yu walked out of the club with Shen Xiuqin. The two talked as they went. Bai Yu was wearing an English-style coat, and Shen Xiuqin was in a deep blue tailored suit.

Shen Xiujin raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "Let's go, have dinner first."

The two of them found a nearby Western restaurant. The atmosphere was relatively casual. After sitting down, they ordered two lunch sets. While waiting for the food, Shen Xiujian beckoned to Shen Yi who came forward.

"I've been keeping a close eye on this Smith. See who he's been meeting with."

Almost as soon as Shen Xiuqin uttered those words, Bai Yu walked with a flash of inspiration, "Your meaning is... there are people in the branch office here secretly sabotaging us"

Shen Xiujin waved his hand at Shen Yihui again: "Go."

Then she turned her head and said, “Isn’t that strange” She glanced at Bai Yu Xing, “We only arrived at the airport yesterday, and today we met Smith. He seemed to know our offer beforehand.”

The only thing I can think of is that there's a mole in the local branch, and it's even among management." I just arrived at the airport yesterday and didn't stop to rest. I immediately gathered the company executives for an emergency meeting, and we worked all night to come up with a plan. Today when we met with Party B, they were arrogant and confident, clearly already knowing our inside information.

"The most taboo thing about cooperation between two parties is to be figured out by the other party."

Bai Yu's expression turned serious, his brows furrowed.

“There’s no point in trying to prevent theft every day. Even if we avoid the company executives and start over, circumventing this leak risk and getting things back on track, this insider threat will always be a ticking time bomb.”

Bai Yu's expression was grave as he spoke, "We can't stay in England for long. Our local branch has a mole hiding within, a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. It could go off at any moment, bringing down the headquarters along with it. In that chaos, Wall Street would swoop in, manipulating the market and driving down the company's stock price. With several parties working together, professional short-sellers could easily take control."

At first, Bai Yu's conjecture was just a simple guess, but the more he speculated and spoke, the less frivolous his expression became, replaced by seriousness, growing increasingly serious... until finally, his face tensed up, his whole body stiffened. He suddenly raised an eyelid, his cold eyes fixed on Shen Xiuqin opposite him:

"Buying off senior executives, acting as their business spies, selling important information, and then a seemingly insignificant minor issue suddenly magnifies countless times over. Internal strife ensues, hearts are unsettled, and at this point, allowing media involvement... the consequences are unimaginable!" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Once the media gets involved, an issue as small as a nail clipping can be blown out of proportion. Western capital then seizes the opportunity... A perfectly good company crumbles overnight... This tactic seems so familiar... Ah Xiu... Who would dare to target Shen Shi"

"You're right. They made their move." The man opposite him, with a handsome face, showed no anger, nor enough seriousness to be truly intimidating.

"Ashu, be serious!" Bai Yuxing anxiously said, "Also, who are they"

"I don't know."

At that moment, the meal arrived. Bai Yu Xing stared in disbelief at the man opposite him, who was calmly and leisurely starting his meal. Even at this time, even after encountering such a situation, Shen had the appetite to eat!

"How can you still have the appetite to eat!"

"Calm down." Shen Xiujin raised his eyes, a clear glance swept over Bai Yuxiang: "You are too impetuous."

"You!" You're not being rash, you Shen Daye are the real deal! That's enough.

"Have a meal and eat your fill, then you'll have the energy to play with the kitten."

Bai Yu xing listened to this, suddenly, that feeling of restlessness in his heart dissipated, and he felt calm... Surname Shen's methods were ruthless indeed. What kind of heart did he have

Since Mr. Shen has said so, he must have made up his mind.

……

Meanwhile

City S

When no one was around, Jian Tong quietly snuck into Shen Xiu Jin's study.

A thorough search ensued.

His eyes were filled with anxiety.

How come

Where is "placed"

I've looked everywhere, in the bookshelf, in the drawers, where could it have gone

"Madam, what are you looking for"

Wang Guanjia stood at the study door like a vengeful spirit, silent and unseen.

A book in Jian Tong's hand... fell to the ground with a thud!

Turning around hastily, she awkwardly pulled out a smile: "Wang Butler... When did you come How didn't I hear the sound of the door opening"

"According to the Butler's Code, article seventeen: Light footsteps, no loud noises," Wang Butler stood quietly at the doorway, his eyes seemingly motionless as he stared intently at Jian Tong: "Madam, you haven't told me yet, what were you looking for in Master's study so late"

"I...I..." She swallowed nervously, her eyes flicking to the bookshelf in the corner. A sudden idea struck her: "I can't sleep, I came to the study to find a book."

The butler stood at the door, his eyes narrowing slightly without making a sound, and asked, "Has madam found the book she wanted to see"

"Found it, found it." Jian Tong smiled somewhat stiffly, pointing at the ground: "It's this one."

Wang Guantang walked in and stood half a meter in front of Jian Tong: "Madam, it's getting late. You should go back to your bedroom early."

"Good, good, I'm leaving now." She hurriedly turned around and walked towards the study door. Passing by Wang Guanjia's side, she felt a slight relief in her heart... It was finally over.

Just stepped onto the corridor...

"Madam, you forgot your book"

Jian Tong's foot stumbled, almost taking a step and falling. Even though she didn't fall, she staggered and quickly turned her head, awkwardly looking at the book Wang Guanjia held in his hand, the one she had picked up from the ground. Her smile became even more unnatural:

"Thanks, thank you."

Three or two steps forward, hurriedly grabbed it and left.

The butler also walked to the corridor, looked up, and witnessed the woman's flustered and hurried back that was unsteady until it disappeared.

A text message, arriving simultaneously on the other side of the ocean:

Ten minutes ago, your wife entered your study. She said she was looking for a book and in her haste to leave, she forgot to take the one she wanted.

The recipient of this message, his black eyes instantly deepening and turning cold, stared at the message for a full minute. His pupils, as dark as night, gradually contracted and dilated, contracting and dilating like the tumultuous waves churning within him.

Bai Yu Xing discovered his abnormality, "What's going on"

I saw him staring blankly at his phone again, "Who's texting"

The latter remained motionless, holding that pose. Just as Bai Yu Xing reached out to snatch the phone, Shen Xiu Jin suddenly raised his phoenix eyes, locking gazes with Bai Yu Xing's. His thin lips moved, uttering words in a strained tone: "You say, one person's attitude changing so drastically before and after, is it really because she compromised You say, can a person truly atone for past mistakes Can errors be corrected"

The former refers to Jian Tong, and the latter refers to himself.

"In the end, I still deceived myself." How could she have suddenly changed her attitude and willing to face him peacefully when she hated him so much that she didn't even want to see him

But it was just a dream he was unwilling to wake from, a beautiful dream of self-deception.p touching her!Every minute, every second, is extremely difficult!Is it love or hate, love and hate intertwined, tormenting her heart at all times... Shen Xiujin, can you please stay away from me"From...
