I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 142 Let me handle this hot potato.

Cheng Xiufang hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Shen Qianfeng and accused him, "Shen Qianfeng, who doesn't know what you're thinking?"

Taking advantage of the situation to kick someone when they're down, taking down the Chen Group, and then turning their attention to our Cheng Group in one fell swoop, isn't that it?

"Is your Shen Group planning to dominate the commercial district of Hedong City?!"

Shen Qianfeng sneered, "If you hadn't been so stupid back then and fallen for their divisive scheme, the business circle in Hedong City would now consist of only the Shen family and the Cheng family."

Cheng Xiufang retorted defiantly, "There's no smoke without fire. Everyone knows the ambitions of the Shen family!"

If I hadn't been reminded, I almost would have benefited you all.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing about the grudge from more than 20 years ago, Zhuang Baiqing said with a straight face, "I didn't come here to watch you two quarrel!"

Chairman Cheng, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for Gray Building stopping your fight back then...

It seems the Chen Group still holds a monopoly in the Hedong City commercial district!

Cheng Xiufang deduced Gray Tower's attitude from those words, and she quickly stated, "President Zhuang, as long as Shen Qianfeng guarantees that he will not take action against the Cheng family, I can cooperate with them."

Zhuang Baiqing smiled speechlessly: "Chairman Cheng, your strength is not much different from Chairman Shen's, so why do you seem so wary of him?"

He's not worried that your Cheng Group will take advantage of him, so why are you always worried that Chairman Shen will take action against you?

Is that all the confidence you have?

Cheng Xiufang was a little embarrassed by what she heard.

Before Zhuang Baiqing could speak, Shen Qianfeng declared, "Cheng Xiufang, since you've said so, I'll make that promise to you in front of President Zhuang."

My Shen Group only wants to uphold fairness in the Hedong City business district.

The Chen Group has resorted to any means to pursue its own interests, which has seriously violated business ethics.

They deserve to be punished.

I have no intention of taking action against the Cheng Group.

It didn't exist before, and it doesn't exist now.

Cheng Xiufang looked at Zhuang Baiqing: "I wonder if President Zhuang would be willing to be the guarantor?"

Zhuang Baiqing replied, "The Gray Tower will not participate in your struggle."

They will only intervene when the situation becomes uncontrollable.

This statement was rather vague, and Cheng Xiufang was still undecided.

Shen Qianfeng casually remarked, "We're both women, but look at President Zhuang's boldness, and then look at yourself!"

And he dresses like a man all the time; I think he's just burying his head in the sand!

Cheng Xiufang couldn't take it anymore: "You surnamed Shen, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

At this moment, Zhuang Baiqing said, "I have something to tell you two: Li Zhanyue is in the Gray Building."

Shen Qianfeng didn't know that Li Zhanyue was in the Gray Building; he thought Li Zhanyue was still in Xu Menghao's hands.

Hearing this news so suddenly, I couldn't help but wonder: "Could Xu Menghao be connected to Gray Tower?"

He feigned surprise and asked, "How did Li Zhanyue end up in the Gray Building? Could it be that the video that was leaked online was released by the Gray Building?"

Zhuang Baiqing said, "Chairman Shen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Only after that video was exposed did someone throw Li Zhanyue at the entrance of the gray building.

Yesterday, the city lord somehow got wind of the situation and came to Gray Tower specifically to demand people back.

I felt this matter was of great importance, so I did not hand Li Zhanyue over.

Chairman Cheng, I heard you have some connections with Li Zhanyue…

Zhuang Baiqing deliberately paused and didn't finish her sentence, watching Cheng Xiufang's reaction.

As a result, a look of disgust flashed in Cheng Xiufang's eyes, and she hurriedly clarified, "It's not a matter of friendship. If it weren't for my good-for-nothing sister, Zhan Yue Company wouldn't have been able to swindle so much money from me."

Zhuang Baiqing asked knowingly, "What, your sister and Li Zhanyue have a relationship?"

Cheng Xiufang said, "These were all foolish things I did when I was young, and now we're like strangers."

Zhuang Baiqing asked, "What should we do about Li Zhanyue? I wonder if the two chairmen have any suggestions?"

Shen Qianfeng and Cheng Xiufang both knew that the Chen Group was backed by the city lord.

To defeat the Chen family group, the city lord must be overthrown first.

Therefore, Li Zhanyue must not fall into the hands of the city lord.

Shen Qianfeng spoke first: "Li Zhanyue is an important witness in the indictment of the Chen Group, and it's not good for him to stay in the Gray Building all the time."

Logically, it should be handed over to the city lord.

However, the Chen Group has a vast network of connections, so for safety's sake, it would be safer to send them to the capital.

Zhuang Baiqing snorted coldly: "Chairman Shen is being delusional. Do you think the capital city would handle local commercial disputes?"

This is a violation of regulations.

Shen Qianfeng said, "The Chen Group is probably not so clean. What if they find out something else during the interrogation in Beijing?"

His words were full of profound implications.

Zhuang Baiqing understood Shen Qianfeng's underlying meaning and requested, "What can you find out by interrogation? Chairman Shen, please be frank."

Shen Qianfeng wasn't that stupid; he knew that some things could be said openly, while others couldn't be said too bluntly.

"It's hard to say."

Shen Qianfeng started dodging the question again.

Zhuang Baiqing said, "Then I'll leave this matter to Chairman Shen."

"You'll take Li Zhanyue away in a little while."

Shen Qianfeng was stunned. Was he being asked to confront the city lord head-on?

"President Zhuang, although I have some influence in Hedong City."

But when I got to the capital, I was just a nouveau riche with no connections.

There's no point in handing Li Zhanyue over to me.

Zhuang Baiqing mocked, "Chairman Shen, you want to eat meat but don't want to start a fire?"

The idea came from you. If I don't hand the person over to you, am I supposed to hand them over to Chairman Cheng?

You two decide what to do.

In short, people can't stay in the gray building forever.

Once he's designated a wanted criminal, Gray Tower will have to give the authorities an explanation.

Ye Cheng suddenly spoke up: "Chairman, why don't you hand Li Zhanyue over to me?"

Shen Qianfeng was taken aback; Li Zhanyue was now a hot potato.

Anyone who dares to touch it is challenging the city lord.

You directly asked for people in front of Cheng Xiufang. Aren't you afraid that Cheng Xiufang will stab you in the back to the city lord behind your back?

"Ye Cheng, do you know what you're saying?" Shen Qianfeng asked, displeased.

Ye Chengdao said, "I am well aware of the chairman's concerns."

By taking Li Zhanyue away in front of Chairman Cheng, I was giving her a huge handle to use against me.

If she were to report this to the city lord, Lady Shen would face his wrath.

Shen Qianfeng fell silent, thinking to himself, "Since you know everything, why are you still being so stupid!"

Cheng Xiufang glared at Ye Cheng unhappily: "You better not talk nonsense!"

Ye Chengdao said, "Of course I hope I'm just talking nonsense."

However, I advise Chairman Cheng to give up this idea.

This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with the Shen Group.

Even if the city lord came to demand it, he would return empty-handed.

I will not tell anyone Li Zhanyue's whereabouts.

Even our chairman wouldn't tell.

Shen Qianfeng couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What do you want to do?"

Ye Cheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chairman, I can't say."

"Mr. Zhuang, I'll take Li Zhanyue away after dark."

Zhuang Baiqing casually hummed in agreement: "Call me when you arrive."

She suddenly stood up: "See the guest out."

After saying that, he left on his own.

Under Seventeen's watchful eye, Ye Cheng and the other two left the reception room and went outside.

Seeing Ye Cheng come out, Chi Xunzhen walked angrily to Cheng Xiufang's side, yelling, "Ahhh..."

Cheng Xiufang: "???"

Shen Qianfeng: "???"
