Chapter 1354: Who is the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind? / A Heavy Mood

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“En, it was nothing big, so I came back.” Liu Jifei knew that in Wang Lixia’s eyes, he had become Xu Xiaobin, but he did not dare to speak more. He was afraid to reveal flaws, so he vaguely responded.
Liu Jifei was afraid that the incense would become ineffective soon, so he put the unburned incense on the cabinet not far from Wang Lixia’s bed.
“What is that?” Although Wang Lixia subconsciously regarded Liu Jifei as Xu Xiaobin, she still asked curiously about the incense that she had not seen before.
“Oh, it cleans the air; it’s nothing.” Liu Jifei replied casually.
“Oh.” Wang Lixia just asked casually. After listening to Liu Jifei’s explanation, she didn’t ask again. Instead, the lust that had never been suppressed in her heart came back. “Why are you still standing there? Quickly, come in!”
Wang Lixia’s action had an unspeakable temptation. Liu Jifei was overjoyed after listening to it. It really didn’t take much effort to do it. Before I asked for anything, Wang Lixia took the initiative.
“Okay, okay. I’m coming!” Liu Jifei replied quickly as he quickly took off his clothes and jumped onto the bed, entangling with Wang Lixia…
Jing Xiaolu was in a terrible mood. Yang Ming was not at home. She thought that she could take charge of a matter and become Yang Ming’s helper, but she didn’t expect there would be a big problem in her first business deal, and it was a huge problem! The most annoying thing was that neither herself nor the lawyer, Wang Hongcha, knew how this problem arose!
Jing Xiaolu also understood that if she wanted to get to the bottom of this, she had to start from Xu Xiaobin. The only thing she could do now was to find out about Xu Xiaobin’s intention.
“President Bao, I called Xu Xiaobin and scheduled to meet in the coffee shop downstairs of the Huihai Business Hall in about half an hour.” Jing Xiaolu hung up and said with a sigh. Her current mood was not very good. There was a problem in the first business deal that she negotiated, so her loss could be imagined.
“Motherf*cker, this Xu Xiaobin, I thought that he seemed to put on airs, but I did not expect him to be so cunning.” Bao Sanli had not sworn for a long time, but this time, he finally could not help but swear.
Brother Yang just went overseas, and something happened at home. What would Brother Yang think of me? The last time, because of my unclear understanding of people, the two vice presidents, Qu Daming and Liu Chan, fled with the money. This time, I fell Into the contract trap. Doesn’t this make me seem too stupid? Brother Yang will suspect that my ability is problematic.
Thinking of this, Bao Sanli couldn’t help but want to scold Xu Xiaobin’s eighteen generations of ancestors! Wasn’t I wronged? But this time, the only good thing is that Jing Xiaolu also participated in this business deal. Even if Yang Ming knows the result, he won’t be too angry with me.
Jing Xiaolu just smiled bitterly; she also had no other way. At first, Xu Xiaobin sincerely wanted to cooperate with her, but she did not expect that he would play such a trick afterward. “Things have already happened. It’s better to find some ways to solve it.”
“Yeah.” Bao Sanli nodded. “I really want to cripple this Xu Xiaobin!”
“We are all legitimate companies. How can we just resort to violence?” Jing Xiaolu actually thought that Bao Sanli’s words were justified. Still, she knew that since the company had been established, they couldn’t be like a street punk and resort to violence whenever there was a disagreement! The most important reason was that this Xu Xiaobin couldn’t be touched so easily! Standing behind him was the province’s largest private enterprise, the Jiangyan Group! The Jiangyan Group’s relationship was intertwined and very complicated. In Song Jiang City, Ming Yang Entertainment still carried some weight, but compared with others, Ming Yang Entertainment’s scope was still a lot smaller.
Although Xu Xiaobin was only a small manager of the Jiangyan Group, he represented the Jiangyan Group. It was hard for their side to touch him.
“The key is that violence is useless.” Bao Sanli also really had no options. “The Jiangyan Group isn’t some pushover. If we really did something to them, there would be many troubles in the future!”
“So it’s like this.” Jing Xiaolu noticed that Bao Sanli understood this and could not help but shake her head. “I will first try to probe Xu Xiaobin’s intention later.”
“I’ll bring some people to protect you.” Bao Sanli was afraid that something would happen to Jing Xiaolu. Compared with the contract, Jing Xiaolu was more important. Brother Yang would only scold him with a few words if there were a problem with the contract, but if something happened to Jing Xiaolu, Bao Sanli would probably be finished.
“We don’t need to involve so many people in this, right?” Jing Xiaolu laughed and said.
“What if Xu Xiaobin has any idea of ​​conspiracy?” Bao Sanli said, “There’s nothing wrong with being careful! We will be watching from afar. If there is nothing, we will not come out.”
“That’s fine.” Jing Xiaolu saw that Bao Sanli was determined to go, so she didn’t say anything.
Jing Xiaolu made a copy of the contract; she did not dare to take the original contract directly. There was already a problem with the contract. If the other party took away the contract or destroyed it, then the evidence would be gone. After that, wouldn’t Xu Xiaobin’s side have the advantage?
Bao Sanli first took his men to the Huihai Business Hall and sat down in the corner of the coffee shop on the first floor, closely monitoring the movement by the door.
It didn’t take long for Xu Xiaobin to push open the door and come in. Looking at him, he seemed to be very anxious. After glancing around, he didn’t find Jing Xiaolu’s figure, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Jing Xiaolu’s phone.
“Vice President Jing, this is Xu Xiaobin. I have already arrived at the coffee shop on the first floor of the Huihai Business Hall. Where are you?” Xu Xiaobin’s words were a little anxious. There were problems with the contract. How could he not worry?
“I am on the way. I will be there soon.” Jing Xiaolu did not expect this Xu Xiaobin to be more proactive than her; she hung up the phone and accelerated the car.
Seeing Xu Xiaobin’s anxious look, Bao Sanli was a bit confused at the moment. He was not a stupid person. Seeing Xu Xiaobin’s expression, it did not seem like he was the one who caused mischief.
If Xu Xiaobin is behind the contract trap, why is he so proactive? He can totally put on airs; even if Jing Xiaolu had not arrived, he can wait there at ease and not bother to call her.
But now, looking at this Xu Xiaobin glancing around, there was no steadiness at all. It was as if he didn’t know anything. It was really difficult for Bao Sanli to connect him with the behind-the-scenes culprit! Did I misjudge? Is this Xu Xiaobin not the behind-the-scenes driving force?
Then, since Xu Xiaobin is not the behind-the-scenes driving force, who could it be? Is it the Jiangyan Group?
Just as Bao Sanli’s imagination was running wild, Jing Xiaolu pushed the door open and entered. Xu Xiaobin kept anxiously staring at the doorway. When he saw Jing Xiaolu coming in, he quickly got up and walked over.
“Vice President Jing, you are here. Please sit down!” Xu Xiaobin looked nervous as he shook hands with Jing Xiaolu. They looked for seats and sat down.
“President Xu, you came very quickly. I have kept you waiting.” Jing Xiaolu was somewhat puzzled with Xu Xiaobin’s attitude! At the moment, her thoughts were somewhat the same as those of Bao Sanli. This Xu Xiaobin looks so strange. It seems that he did not cause this thing. He looks like he didn’t know anything either.
“Vice President Jing, how can I not be quick?” Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly. “After I went back, I was going to take a nap. When you called, I immediately rushed over! If the contract has a problem, it is a big problem. Can I not worry?”
“President Xu, what do you mean by this? I don’t seem to understand.” Jing Xiaolu was secretly getting more puzzled. “Could it be that you don’t know what’s wrong with this contract?”
After listening to Jing Xiaolu’s words, Xu Xiaobin was suddenly startled. “Vice President Jing, of course, I don’t know what’s wrong with the contract. If I knew, I wouldn’t let the problem happen!”
Jing Xiaolu looked at Xu Xiaobin’s eyes and fell into deep thought. Things seem to be more complicated than I thought.
Chapter 1364: A Heavy Mood
At this time, the contract between the two parties had been signed and sealed, and it had already been settled. Even if there were a conspiracy in it, there was no need to hide it. Since there was the courage to tamper with the contract, then they would not be afraid that the other party would find out about this problem. Since the other party had discovered it, what was the significance of denying it? It was better not to beat around the bush and say whatever there is to say!
Therefore, at this moment, Xu Xiaobin’s attitude was a bit strange. If he really set the trap in this contract, then he did not need to avoid it at the moment. Since there was the courage to do it, it was impossible not to have the courage to admit to it.
The purpose of this was to make Jing Xiaolu’s side lose money and achieve the goal of benefiting the Jiangyan Group. Not admitting to it after doing it could mean that there really was a problem with the contract. Couldn’t they re-sign it?
“President Xu, didn’t you look at the contract after I called you?” asked Jing Xiaolu.
“Vice President Jing, you know that I am just a manager of the office. For this partnership, I only served as the lead in the negotiation. After the contract is signed, it will be kept by our lawyer, Liu Luyou. I don’t have the contract with me.” Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and said, “Vice President Jing, what’s the problem with the contract?”
Xu Xiaobin’s words didn’t seem to be false, especially when he mentioned Liu Luyou. Jing Xiaolu became more and more suspicious of this Liu Luyou! At that time, the action he showed was inconsistent with a professional lawyer, and it completely felt like a layman!
However, Jing Xiaolu did not think that Liu Luyou was a layman! What kind of company was the Jiangyan Group? Even a lawyer in a small company couldn’t have such a problem with his principles.
“President Xu, you should look at the contract first, and then talk after you finish reading it.” Jing Xiaolu handed the copy of the contract to Xu Xiaobin. “I have marked the areas that are problematic with a red pen.”
Xu Xiaobin nodded and took the contract. Because Jing Xiaolu said that the problem areas were marked out, Xu Xiaobin did not read the contract line by line but mainly went to find the places marked in red.
When he saw the page marked by a red pen, Xu Xiaobin immediately was brought to attention. Later on, his face appeared shocked, and his expression became a bit strange. “Vice President Jing, this contract… is it the one we signed?”
“Why? President Xu has the courage to do it, but not the courage to admit it?” Jing Xiaolu’s heart was heavy. Is it really not related to Xu Xiaobin? However, on the surface, she still said it in a sarcastic tone.
“Vice President Jing, this contract is definitely not the one we just signed!” Xu Xiaobin said firmly, “Vice President Jing, where did this contract come from?”
“This contract is the one we signed before.” Jing Xiaolu said, “I copied it without change. I used color printing. You should be able to see that both our companies’ dedicated seals are on the side.”
“This…” Xu Xiaobin also knew that Jing Xiaolu would not joke with him like this! Could there really be a problem with this contract? But it is impossible. I reviewed this contract. “Vice President Jing, wasn’t this contract signed after we had reviewed it several times? How can it be like this?”
“President Xu, since things have happened, I don’t have to beat around the bush with you.” Jing Xiaolu sighed. “The contract is indeed like this. I don’t need to joke like this. President Xu, I’m just asking you a question; was this contract modified at your behest?”
Xu Xiaobin’s expression suddenly changed. He didn’t know why the contract would become like this. But thinking about Liu Luyou’s strange attitude today, the process of him holding tightly to the contract and not calling for him to participate in it at all, he was immediately shocked. Could Liu Luyou really have done something to the contract?
“Vice President Jing, I can guarantee that this is definitely not my doing,” Xu Xiaobin said quickly. He was clear about the power of Bao Sanli behind Jing Xiaolu. If he used this method to defraud them, he simply did not want to live.
“So, how do you explain this?” Jing Xiaolu also believed Xu Xiaobin at the moment; he did not need to lie.
“I will call our President Liu.” Xu Xiaobin couldn’t make any decisions, so he quickly took out his phone.
“President Liu? Aren’t you fully responsible for this negotiation?” Although Jing Xiaolu asked this, she already had an assumption in her heart. That was when the contract was signed, it seemed that Liu Luyou was one of Xu Xiaobin’s people, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
“Vice President Jing, let me tell you the truth.” At this time, Xu Xiaobin had no way to hide anything. “Although I am mainly responsible for this cooperation negotiation, I am just a small office manager. How can the group be at ease about contacting you myself?”
“There are others? Who is that President Liu? Liu Jiangyan?” Jing Xiaolu frowned.
“How can the old man, Liu Jiangyan, personally be involved in this matter?” Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly. “This time, the grandson of the old man, Liu Jiangyan, Liu Jifei, is also responsible for this matter together with me. Liu Luyou and the other staff are all his men. As an office manager, I’m just a general without an army!”
“What!? Liu Jifei!” When Jing Xiaolu heard Xu Xiaobin’s words, she suddenly widened her eyes. In a moment, she finally understood. Liu Jifei definitely made this conspiracy; the purpose is to target me!
After hearing this name, Jing Xiaolu had no doubts about Xu Xiaobin, because the behind-the-scenes mastermind must be Liu Jifei, the Young Master Liu, who wanted to take revenge against her but was stopped by Yang Ming!
She just did not expect that Liu Jifei was the grandson of the Liu Family’s Grandpa Liu Jiangyan! This situation was something that she did not know.
“Why? Vice President Jing, do you know our President Liu?” Xu Xiaobin noticed Jing Xiaolu’s strange expression, so he asked.
“It’s nothing. You should still ask your President Liu. Let’s see what his plans are.” Jing Xiaolu was so furious, but at the same time, she somewhat blamed herself. Apparently, this matter happened because of me! If I had not offended Liu Jifei previously, there would be no such thing today.
“I will call President Liu now.” Xu Xiaobin was also very optimistic about this partnership. Now that something happened, how could the cooperation continue smoothly? Even if the contract was forcefully carried out, the other party must hate him down to the bones. How could they not take this opportunity to finish him off?!
Jing Xiaolu nodded, and Xu Xiaobin dialed Liu Jifei’s mobile phone.
Liu Jifei was enjoying himself at the moment. He didn’t expect Wang Lixia to cooperate with him. He thought he died and gone to heaven. Liu Jifei secretly scolded when he suddenly heard the ringtone. This call couldn’t come at another time, but it had to come now?
He didn’t want to bother with it, but the ringtone was so loud that Liu Jifei was going to blow up in anger. Why is this endless?
But even then, he didn’t think about picking up the phone. Isn’t it a joke to answer the phone at this time?
“Little Bin, answer the phone first. Isn’t it important?” Wang Lixia was also reluctant, but she was also afraid that Xu Xiaobin would really miss an important call.
“I’m not going to care. I’ll deal with it later!” Liu Jifei sped up his pace; he didn’t want to ruin his mood because of the phone call.
Feeling the sudden power of “Xu Xiaobin,” Wang Lixia also left the phone ringing to the back of her mind and crazily cooperated with Liu Jifei.
“President Liu did not answer the phone.” Xu Xiaobin’s brows almost fumbled together. This is a big deal. How come he suddenly doesn’t answer the phone?
“Didn’t answer the phone?” Jing Xiaolu’s heart had become heavier. It seems that this matter must be related to Liu Jifei.
“How about this? Vice President Jing, I will go back first and find President Liu to get to the bottom of this!” Xu Xiaobin said, “You can rest assured that I am very passionate about this cooperation and will not do anything that violates principles and business ethics. I will give you a satisfactory explanation for things!”
“Then, I will believe in you.” Jing Xiaolu could only say this. In fact, from the heart, she already felt that since the contract was signed, the possibility of re-signing was not high, especially knowing that Liu Jifei’s shadow was behind it. Jing Xiaolu was somewhat hopeless. With Liu Jifei’s grievances against her, how could he easily let go when he finally got this opportunity to mess with her?
