Chapter 854 It has always been a man's responsibility to support his family.
Zhou Yi spoke very seriously, without a trace of joking.
Even when he looked at Wen Ning, his eyes were filled with determination.
It's impossible for Wen Ning not to be moved by such words.
However, Wen Ning couldn't utter a single word in response to Zhou Yi's words.
It seems that no matter what kind of words are spoken, they all sound pretentious nowadays.
"So, don't overthink things, get some rest. Okay?" Zhou Yi finished speaking.
Whether Wen Ning was trying to ease the tension or something else, she remained calm: "If you lose your job, won't you become an income-less person, and I'll have to support you?"
After saying this, Zhou Yi laughed.
Wen Ning seemed to realize what she had said and immediately fell silent.
Even if Zhou Yi loses his job, his accumulated wealth over the years is enough to ensure he can live a life of luxury for ten lifetimes.
Not to mention the trust funds of the Zhou and Song families.
"Don't worry, it's always been a man's responsibility to support his family. I won't let my wife support the family," Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Wen Ning glared angrily at Zhou Yi, then turned her back to him and remained silent.
Zhou Yi smiled silently, not pointing out Wen Ning's embarrassment.
Zhou Yi coaxed Wen Ning until she fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Yi didn't get up and leave until 1 a.m.
Wen Ning was sleeping soundly.
However, after Zhou Yi left the master bedroom, Wen Ning opened her eyes and quietly watched the direction Zhou Yi had left in.
He was still thinking about Xu Jia.
Wen Ning had trouble sleeping.
Unable to hold back, Wen Ning sent a message to Sheng Weiwei, telling her the whole story from beginning to end.
Sheng Weiwei was a night owl, so she replied to Wen Ning's message almost instantly after receiving it.
Sheng Weiwei: [Don't panic. I think Zhou Yi definitely has something planned. Xu Jia has done a lot of shady things over the years. Sometimes, as Zhou Yi said, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Just play along.]
It was probably because of the third party involved that Sheng Weiwei saw things much more clearly than Wen Ning.
Wen Ning: [Okay.]
Wen Ning didn't say anything after that. Sheng Weiwei comforted Wen Ning for a few words before logging off.
Wen Ning quietly looked at WeChat.
She called her assistant.
"Mr. Wen? What happened?" The assistant was genuinely startled, as it was extremely rare for him to receive a call from Wen Ning in the early hours of the morning.
"Check if Mr. Renn is in the capital," Wen Ning said directly.
The assistant quickly replied to Wen Ning: "Yes, they arrived in the capital on a flight that night. They're here to sign a contract with the company."
These words made Wen Ning's already tense emotions even more tense.
Just as Xu Jia had thought, she had taken precautions.
Regardless of why Rennes appeared in the capital.
But for tonight's events, this is a huge threat.
"Has the contract been signed?" Wen Ning asked calmly.
"I'm not too clear about this matter. It's not related to our department. This kind of information doesn't circulate between departments, and we won't know the result until it's confirmed," the assistant explained.
"Okay." Wen Ning nodded.
"Mr. Wen, what are you going to do?" The assistant keenly sensed something was amiss.
Wen Ning didn't say anything, just reassured her assistant a couple of times before hanging up the phone.
She wondered if Zhou Yi's sudden departure was due to the appearance of Raine.
Did Zhou Yi go to see Ryan?
With these thoughts in mind, Wen Ning couldn't hold back any longer.
She quickly got up and walked out of the master bedroom.
at the same time--
Zhou Yi did not leave the apartment, but instead made a phone call in the study.
"Don't worry, I've cooperated with your acting exactly as you requested. If this contract doesn't go through, the news will be all over the place by tomorrow," Ryan's cheerful voice rang out.
Rennes did indeed appear in the capital at Xu Jia's invitation.
But before that, Zhou Yi had already used a 10% discount as leverage to get Ryan to cooperate with his act.
To be precise, it was cooperating with Xu Jia in acting.
Zhou Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of Xu Jia's thoughts.
With the contract failing to be signed, Xu Jia resigned to take responsibility, which naturally allowed him to clear his name.
And all the tricks Xu Jia had done beforehand had completely completed the transfer.
The Zhou family was essentially emptied out by Xu Jia.
All that was left for Zhou Yi was a mess.
This was because Wen Ning's appearance spurred Xu Jia's plan.
If Wen Ning doesn't appear, these will still become bargaining chips for the Xu family to threaten Zhou Yi.
This will allow Xu Jia to marry into the Zhou family smoothly.
There was no need for a public falling out; Xu Jia arrived with her dowry.
Therefore, the Zhou family is grateful to Xu Jia.
Killing two birds with one stone is indeed a brilliant strategy.
"Thank you," Zhou Yi replied.
“No need to be so polite,” Ryan laughed. “A 10% profit is a very high price to pay. I’d like to know, when do you plan to close the deal?”
“Once this matter escalates and she has transferred all her assets, the judicial authorities will get involved,” Zhou Yi said calmly.
"And you? When are you going to invite us to your wedding?" Ryan asked about Zhou Yi's private life.
"Soon," Zhou Yi smiled.
The topic instantly became lighter.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up.
This contract is not unsigned; it has already been signed.
The matter was settled when Zhou Yi went to see Raine.
However, it didn't go through Xu Jia.
The entire group, from top to bottom, kept it a secret.
Only Zhou Yi and Su Rui knew about it.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi called his assistant to make sure the rest of the arrangements were in place.
The assistant's calm voice came through: "If nothing unexpected happens, this news will spread tomorrow. President Xu will resign to take responsibility, causing a public outcry. If you take the opportunity to resign, President Xu will use this momentum to return. When President Xu returns, the police will arrive with evidence. As for the Xu family, they will have no room to resist. The evidence against the Xu family over the years will also be exposed."
The assistant has arranged everything in great detail.
Zhou Yi nodded.
Then Zhou Yi hung up the phone.
He didn't leave immediately, but just stood there in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Everything was in perfect order, but even under these circumstances, Zhou Yi still felt tense.
Because he didn't know what else might happen.
Just then, Zhou Yi keenly heard the commotion outside and, without thinking, quickly walked out of the study.
Then Zhou Yi saw Wen Ning.
Wen Ning was clearly surprised when he saw Zhou Yi.
Wen Ning assumed that Zhou Yi had gone to find Raine or Xu Jia.
Six years ago, such an incident pushed Wen Ning's emotions to their limit.
Six years later, Wen Ning was actually quite calm.
The eyes of the two met in the air.
Zhou Yi was the first to walk towards Wen Ning: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Wen Ning was quiet for a moment and said nothing.
Zhou Yi seemed to know Wen Ning's thoughts and chuckled softly: "Don't worry, I won't go looking for Xu Jia. I won't repeat the mistakes of six years ago."
