Chapter 156
Shen Huaichu\'s eyes flickered with concern, "What about Jing Yi?"
Jing Zeyou raised an eyebrow, calmly lifting his coffee cup, and emphasized, "Mr. Shen, we\'re discussing business matters right now."
Shen Huaichu didn\'t back down, meeting Jing Zeyou\'s gaze, "Hasn\'t she already been dragged into your business matters?" His neutral tone carried a hint of displeasure.
Jing Zeyou\'s lips curled into a meaningful smile, "Mr. Shen, as I mentioned before, you\'re not in a position to discuss this."
He would protect his sister himself. As for Shen Huaichu, what right did he have to speak about this?
Shen Huaichu pressed his lips together, his eyes turning cold.
Dealing with Jing Zeqian was difficult enough, but Jing Zeyou was even more challenging.
Jing Zeyou had been wanting to have a proper conversation with Shen Huaichu, and since the latter brought it up, he didn\'t need to find another opportunity.
"Mr. Shen, there are some things I think we should discuss sooner rather than later." He set down his coffee, his eyes profound, "As a brother, I don\'t consider you a suitable match for Yi Yi at all."
Shen Huaichu\'s expression darkened, his face impassive, his eyes revealing complex, indecipherable emotions.
"The only reason I\'ve allowed her to associate with you is because I want Yi Yi to follow her chosen path." Jing Zeyou\'s smile faded, "But if you become an obstacle..."
Jing Zeyou left the sentence unfinished, but the warning in his eyes said everything.
Shen Huaichu met his gaze unflinchingly, his eyes carrying a sharp edge, "If that time comes, Mr. Jing won\'t need to intervene."
If he ever became an obstacle to Jing Yi, he would remove himself.
Jing Zeyou\'s lips curved slightly, but he remained silent.
Promises were the least reliable things.
The atmosphere in the office grew tense, an indescribable pressure building between the two men.
...
Wang Boqi had arranged to meet with Jing Yi.
Jing Yi casually looked at the message on her phone, her lips curving upward. Wang Boqi was more impatient than she had imagined.
After informing Mr. and Mrs. Jing Beicheng, she left the Jing residence and drove to meet Wang Boqi.
"Yi Yi, have you made up your mind?"
Wang Boqi didn\'t want to let Jing Yi see his urgency, but he genuinely wanted a quick answer.
Jing Yi bit her lip, appearing to struggle internally, "Is this really reliable?"
Her hesitation irritated Wang Boqi, but he maintained his gentle demeanor.
"Yi Yi, trust me! How could I let you fall into danger? Moreover, I just want to help you reclaim what belongs to you."
While Jing Yi appeared moved on the surface, she inwardly dismissed his words. She had never felt that the Jing family belonged to her, and whether he was helping her or himself, they both knew the truth.
When she turned her gaze to Wang Boqi, the conflict in her eyes was replaced with determination.
"What do I need to do?"
Wang Boqi controlled his excitement and elation, discreetly glancing around before lowering his voice: "I need the data information about the cooperation between Hengjing and Huarui Group..."
As expected, he was after the cooperation between the two companies.
Jing Yi\'s eyes flickered, showing appropriate confusion, "Huarui Group? Isn\'t our target Hengjing?"
Irritation flashed in Wang Boqi\'s eyes as he moved closer to Jing Yi, his face showing just the right amount of jealousy, "What can I do? Who made him steal my second dance?"
Now Jing Yi was genuinely confused. Why did Wang Boqi always treat her like a fool? Or did she really appear that naive?
Seeing no reaction from Jing Yi, Wang Boqi\'s lips curved upward, his eyes dark, "Or perhaps after dancing, you found Shen Huaichu better than me?"
Wang Boqi was certain that Shen Huaichu had some interest in Jing Yi, perhaps targeting the merger of Hengjing and Huarui Group, or perhaps interested in Jing Yi herself.
He leaned toward the former explanation.
Wang Boqi didn\'t care about any of this, but if Jing Yi had developed feelings, that would complicate matters.
Jing Yi instantly became wary. Was Wang Boqi testing her?
She laughed as if hearing a joke, "How could that be possible? I\'d never like someone with such an icy face. Didn\'t you see how I pretended not to know how to dance and kept stepping on his feet?"
Wang Boqi stared at Jing Yi for a few seconds, his lips curving into a smile, "I was just joking."
He began briefly explaining the cooperation between Hengjing and Huarui Group, "...so we can\'t let this cooperation succeed, or it\'ll be harder for you to take over Hengjing later. Do you understand now?"
Jing Yi inwardly sighed with relief, pretending to have a sudden realization as she nodded, placing her coffee cup on the table and returning to their previous topic.
"By the way, how do I get the data you mentioned?"
Wang Boqi\'s lips curved upward as he took out a small device and placed it in Jing Yi\'s hand.
Looking at the USB-like device in her hand, Jing Yi\'s eyes flashed with understanding. Was this Wang Boqi\'s \'secret weapon\'?
Her heart pounded as she gripped the device tighter. Could this small thing really break up the alliance between Hengjing and Huarui Group so easily?
This wasn\'t just any USB drive. Despite its small size, Wang Boqi had spent a long time preparing it to ensure success.
All she needed to do was connect it to Jing Zeyou\'s computer. Once connected, Wang Boqi would easily access all the data on Jing Zeyou\'s computer.
Over the years, Wang Boqi had made numerous attempts against Hengjing Group, from poaching employees to hiring hackers, all of which had been thwarted by Jing Zeyou. Now, he wanted to see how Jing Zeyou would defend against his own sister.
Aliali: 674c23b4c4f3f33ac4ac1d8cThe mere thought of defeating Jing Zeyou this way filled Wang Boqi with pride.
He would soon prove to his father that he, Wang Boqi, was no less capable than Jing Zeyou! He would lead the Wang family to the pinnacle of North River!
Unlike Wang Boqi\'s excited state, Jing Yi was struggling to control her emotions. They were at the final step, and she couldn\'t afford any mistakes at this crucial moment.
Seeing her nervous expression, Wang Boqi thought she was afraid and chuckled, "Yi Yi, don\'t worry, it\'s simple. You just need to plug it into Jing Zeyou\'s computer."
Wang Boqi didn\'t explain further; after all, Jing Yi was just a courier. Knowing too much wouldn\'t benefit either of them.
Jing Yi clutched the device tightly and nodded, "I need to test the waters at Hengjing first. I\'ll let you know when I find the right opportunity."
Wang Boqi smiled and held Jing Yi\'s hand, his eyes unfathomable, "Good, I\'ll wait for you." Looking at her beautiful face, Wang Boqi slowly leaned closer.
Jing Yi\'s eyes flashed with disgust as she instinctively leaned back.
Wang Boqi\'s dark eyes narrowed as he stared at Jing Yi. This wasn\'t the first time she had avoided him.
Was she truly conservative, or did she simply dislike his advances?
