Chen Jie gave Guo Xiaofeng a chance only because he saw her sincere repentance.
Just as He Yufei was planning to expand the Shengtian branch to the provincial capital, she might not have enough energy to manage the entertainment company.
For Chen Jie, Shengtian Company was the top priority. As for the entertainment company, it was ultimately a minor venture and not worth He Yufei wasting a lot of energy on.
If Guo Xiaofeng could sincerely work for him, and given her significant authority and management experience in Shengshi Company, she could replace Sheng Jinsong.
"I agree!"
Guo Xiaofeng agreed to Chen Jie without hesitation.
Chen Jie said with a half-smile, "You agreed so readily, it seems your relationship with Sheng Jinsong isn't very good either."
Guo Xiaofeng gave a wry smile, "You don't know, I would never have betrayed Boss Sheng originally. But after my face was disfigured, Sheng Jinsong completely stopped caring about me. He even thought I was a hot potato and tried to terminate my contract and distance himself from me several times."
"Now I finally understand that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Once I lose my value, even the boss who once admired me greatly will abandon me."
"But don't worry, I've already agreed to follow you, and I'll keep my word! I will never betray you!"
"I hope so. What I can give you, I can also take back. Find a way to get Sheng Jinsong to sell the company as soon as possible."
As Chen Jie spoke, he stopped the car in front of a hotel and motioned for Guo Xiaofeng to get out.
Guo Xiaofeng got out of the car. Seeing Chen Jie about to leave, she quickly asked, "When will the beard on my face disappear?"
"Beard? What beard?" Chen Jie asked.
"I..."
Guo Xiaofeng was about to speak when she touched her cheek and felt it was incredibly smooth, like touching jelly.
As for the beard on her face, where had it gone!
She incredulously took out a mirror from her bag and looked into it.
Then Guo Xiaofeng was stunned.
The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful, and even she was mesmerized.
Tears of excitement welled up in Guo Xiaofeng's eyes.
She said to Chen Jie, "Don't worry, I'll keep my word. From now on, I'm yours!"
"If you don't mind, let's stay here together tonight!"
Guo Xiaofeng thought to herself how strange life was. She had intensely disliked Chen Jie before, but now he was to become her future boss.
Moreover, she was going to be his mistress. The thought was surprisingly stimulating and exciting.
"No need, I have other things to do. Remember what I told you." Chen Jie stepped on the gas and drove away.
"Chen Jie, I'll be your mistress for life!" Guo Xiaofeng said excitedly, clenching her fist.
She knew that a man with Chen Jie's methods could easily destroy her.
She also knew that the gap between her status and Chen Jie's was huge.
Therefore, she secretly resolved to keep her promise.
She then put on her mask again and checked into a room at the hotel.
Before, she wore a mask to hide her beard. Now, she did so to cooperate with Chen Jie, to cause Shengshi Company's market value to fall, and to protect her beautiful face from being seen by outsiders.
After checking into a room, Guo Xiaofeng immediately opened her laptop to work.
Since she had decided to help Chen Jie, there was no need to pretend to be demure anymore. She knew some of Shengshi Company's scandals, which could strike another heavy blow to Shengshi Company.
That night, an anonymous person provided major scoops to various media outlets.
Shengshi Company's CEO, Sheng Jinsong, was accused of cheating his partners and embezzling funds.
News spread that Shengshi Company owed debts and that Boss Sheng Jinsong was keeping a mistress.
Suddenly, these rumors were flying everywhere, in various versions.
Rumors included Sheng Jinsong bullying a friend's wife, the company being on the verge of bankruptcy, and celebrities under its banner suffering from infectious diseases.
This media coverage caused Shengshi Company's market value to plummet starting the next day.
Sheng Jinsong also completely fell out with his other partners.
...
Early the next morning, Chen Jie received a call from He Yufei.
There was news from the Tianyi Sect!
In three days, a large number of experts would arrive at Villa No. 1. They would then plan with the members of the Dark Shadow Sect to capture Li Ziling and behead Chen Jie.
Chen Jie sneered, "Very well, in three days, I'll round them all up!"
"Chen Jie, there's another piece of news. Sheng Jinsong has agreed to sell the company to us for three billion yuan!" He Yufei said excitedly.
"There seems to be a conflict within them, and someone is deliberately creating negative sentiment in the media."
"Hmm, three billion yuan is about right. You should buy the company in the next two days." Chen Jie said.
"Oh, and by the way, Guo Xiaofeng has become one of us. After the company is bought, have Guo Xiaofeng manage it for you. After all, she's an industry insider, and it's good to have her help you," Chen Jie added.
He Yufei seemed to remember something and said, "Ah? Boss, could the information online be done by Guo Xiaofeng?"
"I'm not sure."
Chen Jie was indeed unsure, but he suspected that Guo Xiaofeng was most likely involved.
However, he was too lazy to ask.
Afterward, Chen Jie took Li Ziling to school again.
"Chen Jie, is this house really mine?" Li Ziling asked incredulously, holding the property deed.
"It feels like a dream."
Li Ziling said with a giggle.
She then asked, "Isn't this the marital home you prepared for us?"
Chen Jie froze for a moment, then calmly replied, "No, I have a better place to live."
"Oh, that's good."
Li Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chen Jie stepped on the brake and parked the car in the parking lot outside.
Since this car was not registered with the training center, it did not have permission to enter.
"Let's go!"
Chen Jie said.
"Wait."
Li Ziling called out. She suddenly pounced on Chen Jie, kissed him on the cheek, and then quickly dodged away.
Li Ziling secretly met Chen Jie's gaze, then got out of the car and quickly walked towards the training center.
Since she had made her decision, she had no other thoughts in her mind.
She wanted to tell Chen Jie that she had accepted him.
Chen Jie was a little helpless. He got out of the car, but Li Ziling had already run far away.
The two parted ways.
Meanwhile, Li Ziling quickly found Azhu.
"Azhu, look at what I have!"
Li Ziling handed the property deed to Azhu, along with the car's green book.
"Li Ziling, this is..."
Azhu asked confusedly.
"Chen Jie gave it to me!"
Then, Li Ziling recounted last night's events to Azhu.
"Azhu, I now realize that I misunderstood Chen Jie. He's not that kind of perverted guy at all. He didn't take advantage of me when I gave him the chance yesterday! He's not just playing around with me; he might be serious!"
