Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 856 So, are you threatening me?

Throughout the entire process, Zhou Yi did not speak to Xu Jia.

He just looked at Xu Jia with a very deep gaze.

As soon as the two entered the office, Xu Jia took the initiative.

“I told you yesterday that Mr. Ryan had arrived.” Xu Jia looked at Zhou Yi. “I also told you immediately, but you refused to come.”

Xu Jia frowned: "Mr. Ryan emphasized to me that he must see you before he can sign the contract, so I argued with him about this for a long time until it ended in failure. This was due to my lack of ability."

Even while talking to Zhou Yi, Xu Jia blamed herself for the whole thing.

Wen Ning wasn't mentioned at all, nor was it said that it was Wen Ning's fault.

Previously, Zhou Yi would have chosen to stand on Xu Jia's side.

After all, what Xu Jia said was true.

But now, Zhou Yi just looked at Xu Jia quietly.

Xu Jia took a deep breath: "The failure of the cooperation with Rennes means that the funds we invested in the early stage will be wasted, which is not a good thing for Zhou's. In addition, other departments have been expanding and have misappropriated a lot of funds. If there is a break, it will affect the whole situation."

"And then?" Zhou Yi asked Xu Jia casually, standing with one hand in his bag.

With just one sentence, Xu Jia was left speechless.

Xu Jia's expression changed.

"What do you mean by that? Now that the contract has failed, don't we need to explain this to the shareholders?" Xu Jia retorted to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi continued to look at Xu Jia.

Xu Jia became even more tense under their gaze.

The Xu Jia of the past was very calm, but the Xu Jia of now seems to have lost control under such gazes.

"Zhou Yi, when you think about it, wasn't this all caused by Wen Ning's threats? She didn't want you to come, did she?"

“You wouldn’t have done this before, and Wen Ning wouldn’t have interfered in these matters. Besides, Wen Ning is, in a sense, my competitor.”

"Wen Ning is also a company employee. Considering this, doesn't Wen Ning bear any responsibility?"

"But you've absolved yourself of all responsibility, turning it all into your own. Do you know what that means?"

Xu Jia's tone became aggressive, staring intently at Zhou Yi, as if seeking an answer from him.

This tone makes it seem as if he is considering the Zhou Group's interests in every aspect.

Only Zhou Yi didn't take it to heart at all.

He quietly looked at Xu Jia.

"Why did Rennes arrive in the capital ahead of schedule?" Zhou Yi asked Xu Jia casually.

Xu Jia was taken aback by the question, and her guilty conscience was self-evident.

Rennes's early arrival in the capital was naturally arranged by Xu Jia.

If Zhou Yi were here, Wen Ning would be the one who would be unhappy, and Xu Jia would also be the victor.

If Zhou Yi hadn't come, the public opinion following the loss would have been directed at Wen Ning, and Xu Jia would still have been the victor.

She suffered no loss.

Xu Jia never expected that Zhou Yi would ask her this question.

“His secretary notified me, so I went to the airport immediately. I know you and Wen Ning are getting back together, and I also know that Wen Ning has a lot of misunderstandings about me, so I didn’t bother you. It wasn’t until evening, when Ryan needed to see you to sign the contract, that I had no choice but to call you.”

After calming down, Xu Jia finished speaking.

Her eyes were fixed intently on Zhou Yi, unblinking.

"Is that so?" Zhou Yi asked casually.

These words made Xu Jia's face even uglier: "Don't you believe me?"

Zhou Yi didn't respond.

Xu Jia laughed in anger.

"Zhou Yi, are you willing to put everything aside for the sake of personal feelings?"

"The losses here are not just tens of millions, but hundreds of millions. And what about the company that was established for this project? Have you considered the employees, the shareholders, and the Zhou Group's cash flow?"

“You weren’t this impulsive before.”

Xu Jia stared aggressively at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi stood there, one hand in his bag.

Zhou Yi did not respond to Xu Jia's question.

Xu Jia suddenly laughed: "Okay, I understand. I will resign to take responsibility for this, since it was my fault and the contract was not in my possession. I didn't consider that Renne would turn against me at the last minute, nor did I consider that you would really not come. I should have notified you in advance."

Xu Jia thought that Zhou Yi would be nervous if she said this.

She has a certain amount of influence within the Zhou Group.

With public opinion so rife now, if Xu Jia resigns, Wen Ning will be even more certain of Su Daji's guilt.

As a result, Zhou Yi remained incredibly calm, simply looking at Xu Jia.

"So, you're threatening me?" Zhou Yi asked directly.

Zhou Yi didn't even give the Xu family a chance to speak, his words concise and to the point.

“If this is your decision, then I will not object; I respect your opinion,” Zhou Yi stated clearly.

This completely cut off Xu Jia's chances of taking advantage of her kindness.

Thinking about Zhou Yi's tricks to comfort himself.

Xu Jia's expression grew increasingly grim, and Zhou Yi showed no intention of finishing his conversation with her.

“Sorry, I have to attend a shareholders’ meeting.” Zhou Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi walked forward, showing no respect for Xu Jia whatsoever.

Inside the office were Zhou Yi and Xu Jia's assistants.

The two looked at each other, neither daring to speak.

Xu Jia's eyes were bloodshot; she had never been ignored by Zhou Yi like this before.

This sense of pride made it impossible for Xu Jia to swallow this insult.

As Zhou Yi walked up to Xu Jia, Xu Jia reached out and grabbed Zhou Yi's wrist.

Zhou Yi frowned, looked down at Xu Jia, and his eyes showed impatience.

Then Zhou Yi simply pulled his hand away.

Xu Jia looked at her empty hand and asked directly, "Zhou Yi, have you been waiting a long time for me to resign? If that's the case, you won't have to worry about me and Wen Ning having a conflict, or about Wen Ning causing you trouble because of this?"

Zhou Yi didn't answer, he just glanced at Xu Jia and left without looking back.

"Zhou Yi, after all these years of relationship, do you really have to be so cruel?" Xu Jia questioned Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi replied indifferently, "We can't talk about feelings, we can't even talk about friendship, at most it's an employer-employee relationship."

In short, Xu Jia's self-esteem was ruthlessly trampled on.

She suppressed her hysterical temper and calmly looked at Zhou Yi.

"Fine. Remember what you said today. I hope one day you won't be begging me." Xu Jia finished speaking angrily.

Zhou Yi didn't turn around, and his assistant quickly followed.

The moment Zhou Yi left the office, Xu Jia had already smashed everything she could in front of her.

The assistant dared not speak, fearing being caught in the crossfire.

It wasn't until Xu Jia calmed down that this happened.

She took a deep breath and quickly walked out of the office.

The reporter is still waiting.

When Xu Jia came out, the reporters rushed towards her.

Unexpectedly, what they received was Xu Jia's resignation.

Standing before the reporters, Xu Jia was no longer the frantic woman she was in the room; she was incredibly calm.
