Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets - Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Over at ZELING.

Following Nan Zhiyi’s instructions, Sheng Shiyu made the call, though she felt a bit uneasy afterward.

She wasn’t sure if the Ling Group would hold a grudge after such a forceful stance.

After all, given the Ling Group’s status, they likely hadn’t encountered a situation like this before.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt the need to share her concerns with Nan Zhiyi.

Nan Zhiyi, however, didn’t seem to care. “If we’ve offended them, then we’ve offended them. This matter had to be resolved. I just hope the Ling Family doesn’t act too much like thugs.”

At this point, she looked at Sheng Shiyu and joked, “If ZELING can’t survive in the domestic market anymore… you won’t blame me, will you?”

Sheng Shiyu rolled her eyes and said, “Why would I blame you? This isn’t your fault. Everything was caused by Song Liqin!”

“That’s good then.”

Nan Zhiyi smiled, feeling a bit more at ease.

About half an hour later, the call from the Ling Group came through.

Sheng Shiyu picked up and heard Fu Cheng’an’s response.

The Ling Group had already pulled the ‘Frost Eternal Night’ perfume from their shelves.

At the same time, they wanted to seek a partnership.

This outcome wasn’t as bad as they had imagined.

Holding the phone in one hand, Sheng Shiyu silently gave Nan Zhiyi a thumbs-up with the other.

Truly impressive!

She had actually managed to get the Ling Family to take the initiative to ask for a partnership.

However, Nan Zhiyi shook her head, signaling for her not to agree.

Sheng Shiyu was puzzled.

The Ling Group was a massive company. Countless people were breaking their necks trying to land a partnership with them, yet Zhizhi didn’t want it?

“What do you think, President Sheng?”

At this moment, seeing that Sheng Shiyu hadn’t replied for a while, Fu Cheng’an couldn’t help but ask again.

Sheng Shiyu snapped back to reality, but she didn’t agree to the partnership.

First, she used professional rhetoric to flatter the Ling Group. “Thank you for your wisdom, President Ling. We also appreciate the Ling Group’s high regard and willingness to cooperate with ZELING… Regarding this, I don’t have any personal objections. It would be an honor to work with the Ling Group.”

Then, she adopted a more tactful tone. “However, as you know, our company’s perfume research and development primarily relies on Aletta. Therefore, I need to confirm this further with her before I can get back to you. Would that be alright?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Jun was clearly a bit displeased.

This Sheng Shiyu was truly a fox – she hadn’t agreed, but she hadn’t refused either, keeping her stance ambiguous.

Unfortunately, he had no reason to lose his temper.

In the end, Fu Cheng’an could only grit his teeth and say, “Fine.”

Once the call was disconnected, Sheng Shiyu immediately asked Nan Zhiyi, “Why did you refuse a partnership with the Ling Family?”

Nan Zhiyi replied, “The Ling Group isn’t quite right. The company is privately entangled with people from the gray market, and their background is complicated. There isn’t much benefit in cooperating with them, so I don’t recommend it.”

Sheng Shiyu realized the situation after hearing this and didn’t say anything more.

“Good thing I was quick-witted enough to brush them off just now.”

She felt a brief moment of self-satisfaction before starting to complain, “Sigh, dealing with these people all day is so exhausting. Every single one of them has eight hundred hidden agendas.”

“It’s been hard on you.”

Nan Zhiyi poured two cups of tea and handed one to Sheng Shiyu. “The business world is naturally full of deception. Fortunately, you’ve been handling these things all these years. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to focus on research and development without any worries like I do now.”

“Psh, how is this hard work? It’s just moving my lips!”

Sheng Shiyu took the tea, took a sip, and looked at Nan Zhiyi seriously. “You’re the one who has it hard. Research and development is much more draining than what I do.”

Nan Zhiyi shook her head in disagreement. “It’s not hard. I think it’s fine.”
Watching the two of them go back and forth, Annie found it amusing and interrupted them. “You two should stop being so polite! You both worked hard! You both worked hard!”

Hearing this, the two women couldn’t help but exchange a smile.

Then, Sheng Shiyu spoke up and asked, “Let’s not talk about that. What do you plan to do next? Are you still going to Di Corporation?”

“No rush.”

Nan Zhiyi took a slow sip of tea before continuing, “I’ll go back whenever Song Liqin apologizes to me. If possible, I’d like to trouble you to find me a lawyer to draft a legal letter.”

A flash of surprise crossed Sheng Shiyu’s face. “Are you serious?”

Nan Zhiyi smiled and countered with a question, “When have I ever been joking?”

That was true.

A person like Song Liqin deserved a lesson.

Sheng Shiyu nodded. “Then I’ll go contact one for you right now.”

“Okay.”

Seeing her friend busy with the phone call, Nan Zhiyi also got up and returned to her own office.

The moment she sat down, she felt a wave of weakness wash over her. Thinking about the mess that had happened today, she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

She had intended to go home early to rest, but to her surprise, Old Master Di called.

“Girl, are you free right now? Come over to the Old Mansion.”

Nan Zhiyi’s tone was a bit sluggish as she asked, “Grandpa Di, is something the matter?”

“Just come over!”

His tone was somewhat serious.

Hearing that, Nan Zhiyi agreed.

Soon, she left the company and went to the Di family’s Old Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Song Liqin with eyes swollen from crying, with Di Shijing and the Old Master standing by her side.

The three of them had different reactions upon seeing Nan Zhiyi.

The moment Song Liqin saw Nan Zhiyi, her expression turned to one of resentment, her gaze as cold and venomous as a snake.

Di Shijing remained expressionless.

As for the Old Master, his face was cold and stern. He beckoned Nan Zhiyi over, his tone as serious as it had been on the phone. “Girl, come here.”

Nan Zhiyi didn’t think much of it; she nodded and walked over.

With someone backing her up anyway, it was even more impossible for Song Liqin to do anything to her here.

“What is it, Grandpa Di?”

Only then did the Old Master state his purpose. “I know everything that happened at the company today.”

At this point, he cast a cold glance at Song Liqin. His gaze was so full of chill that Song Liqin’s shoulders trembled, and she quickly lowered her head.

The Old Master continued, “I called you here because I want to settle the score for you.”

“You were so greatly wronged. In all fairness, someone needs to apologize to you in person.”

After saying that, he barked at Song Liqin, “What are you still standing there for? Apologize to the girl!”

Song Liqin had always looked down on Nan Zhiyi. She was even more dissatisfied that the woman had once been her daughter-in-law, feeling that Nan Zhiyi was simply unworthy.

She had finally managed to kick her out, and now, he actually wanted her to apologize to such a person?!

In her dreams!

She was Madam Di, a person of such status that everyone in the capital had to make way for her!

Who did Nan Zhiyi think she was?!

Song Liqin’s teeth were clenched, her fingers balled tightly into fists. Refusing to compromise, she only said, “Dad, I am an elder after all. No matter how wrong this matter was, doesn’t Nan Zhiyi know anything about showing respect?”

Seeing her trying to turn the tables, the Old Master couldn’t help but roar, “What, elders don’t have to apologize?”

“You created this ‘fine mess’ yourself, and you won’t clean it up?”

“Song Liqin, what kind of airs are you putting on now? When you were at the company, embarrassing your son and your husband, why didn’t you think about being an elder then? Now that Yuntian wants to divorce you, you’re still acting like you have a death wish?”
