Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Visiting Zhou Zheng

After Qian Long had left the presidential suite,

Zhao Min got up from the sofa and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number. She gave a cold command to the person on the other end of the line:

"Check the background of Zhou Zheng, the vice-chairman of Lin’s Jewelry, for me. I want all of his information, including his family’s. Email everything to me tonight, go ahead!"

Having said that, Zhao Min hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhao Min looked down at the busiest part of Coastal, muttering to herself: "This time, I absolutely won’t allow any unexpected surprises!"

...

After leaving the company, Chen Feng and Wu Kun drove quickly toward Zhou Zheng’s home, with Wu Kun at the wheel.

Wu Kun’s driving skills were very adept; even on roads prone to congestion, he handled the car with ease.

Soon, the car entered a high-end residential community and stopped in front of a private villa.

It was an extremely luxurious villa, located in a bustling downtown area—it was frighteningly expensive.

After all, Zhou Zheng was the second-largest shareholder of Lin’s Jewelry. Naturally, money was no object for him, and living here was not surprising.

Chen Feng and Wu Kun got out of the car and rang the doorbell several times.

However, despite the doorbell ringing for a long time, there was still no one to open the door.

This made both of them frown.

Could no one be home?

Wu Kun hurriedly rang the doorbell several more times, still without response.

It seemed they had hit a dead end this time.

However, just as they were about to return to the car to wait for Zhou Zheng,

the villa’s gate opened, and a middle-aged man in black pajamas walked out.

The middle-aged man had a square face with thick, bushy eyebrows and large eyes; he looked very stern.

As soon as he came out, his stern expression made him seem difficult to get along with.

Upon seeing him, Wu Kun immediately went up to him respectfully and said, "Vice-Chairman Zhou, so you were at home!"

"Assistant Wu? What are you doing at my house?" Zhou Zheng frowned deeply, asking with evident displeasure.

He had been asleep at home and had just fallen asleep when the doorbell woke him up, which annoyed him greatly.

But seeing that it was Wu Kun, even if he was furious, he contained himself.

After all, Wu Kun was an old hand who worked under the former chairman Lin Pengfei. Zhou Zheng would give some face to Lin Pengfei’s reputation.

Being an assistant to the chairman, Wu Kun knew how to read the room.

He saw Zhou Zheng looking weary and quickly expressed his apologies: "Vice-Chairman Zhou, I’m terribly sorry that we’ve disturbed your rest. Please forgive us!"

"Just get to the point!" Zhou Zheng waved his hand, clearly very irritable.

The way he behaved, he obviously did not want to waste words with Wu Kun and could not wait for him to finish and leave.

Chen Feng, watching from the side, had a bitter smile in his heart.

Indeed, just as Lin Wanqing had said, Zhou Zheng really had an odd personality.

Normally, when guests arrive, at the very least, you would invite them in, offer a seat, and have a cup of tea before discussing matters.

But what about Zhou Zheng? He did not even let them through the door, clearly intending to send them on their way as soon as they finished speaking at the entrance.

The way he handled matters was truly unparalleled.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wu Kun’s face as he forced a smile and asked, "Vice Chairman Zhou, it’s like this, have you heard about the recent events in the company?"

"I have!" Zhou Zheng nodded his head, then seemed to realize something. His expression darkened as he looked at Wu Kun and said coldly,

"So it’s the Lin Family’s girl who sent you? Go back and tell her, I don’t want to get involved in the matters of the board, and as for who becomes the chairman, that has nothing to do with me either. Don’t bother me again!"

Having said that, Zhou Zheng didn’t give Wu Kun another chance to speak. He turned around and entered the villa, slamming the door shut with force.

Looking at the door that had been shut firmly.

Wu Kun turned his head to look at Chen Feng and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Chen, as you saw, Vice Chairman Zhou is just like that. I think we should forget it!"

"He is quite difficult, but the more difficult they are, the more we have to get them on board. Keep ringing the doorbell!" Chen Feng grinned and said.

"What? Keep ringing? If we keep on pressing, I’m really afraid that not only will we fail to enlist his help, but we might even anger him. If he ends up going to help Qian Long, that would be terrible!" Wu Kun said with a worried face.

"No worries, just do as I say!" Chen Feng said with a light smile.

"Alright then!" Wu Kun, unable to argue with Chen Feng, pressed the doorbell several more times.

Shortly after, the villa’s door was opened from the inside again.

Zhou Zheng, face ashen, walked out and glared at Wu Kun and Chen Feng, bellowing, "Are you done? Leave now, or I’ll call security!"

"Vice Chairman Zhou, we really need your help!" Wu Kun pleaded.

"Wu Kun, out of respect for your long service to the company, I’ll give you some face. Now, leave immediately and I can forget this ever happened!" Zhou Zheng glared at Wu Kun, his voice heavy with anger.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, do you really want to stand by and watch the empire that the old chairman and you have worked so hard for half your life fall into the hands of an outsider?" Wu Kun said, unwilling to give up.

"Wu Kun, are you really trying to provoke my anger? You know what the consequences of my anger are. Leave this instant!" Zhou Zheng said, his face ashen, and he was about to turn back into the villa.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, please wait!"

At that moment, Chen Feng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

Zhou Zheng paused, turned around, and gave Chen Feng a fleeting glance before saying coldly, "And you are?"

"Who I am is not important. I just have a question for Vice Chairman Zhou, and I’m not sure whether it’s appropriate to ask!" Chen Feng said calmly, with a smile.

"Spit it out already, don’t beat around the bush!" Zhou Zheng glared at Chen Feng, his patience wearing thin.

"I want to know if Vice Chairman Zhou truly doesn’t want to deal with the board’s affairs, or is it that you simply don’t dare to?"

"Are you afraid that if you get involved, you might not even be able to keep your position as Vice Chairman?

"If that is the case, then Vice Chairman Zhou, you might as well continue being a shrinking turtle in peace. We’ll leave this instant and never bother you again!"

Chen Feng spoke indifferently.

At his words, Wu Kun’s face drastically changed.

You see, Zhou Zheng wasn’t only known for his weird temper but also for being extremely touchy. He hated it when people implied he was a coward.

Yet, Chen Feng went ahead and outright called him a "shrinking turtle," insinuating his cowardice in varied ways.

He had directly poked at Zhou Zheng’s sore spot!

Wu Kun hurriedly looked at Zhou Zheng, only to see Zhou Zheng’s face now livid with rage, his eyes bulging out like those of an enraged bull, filled with fury.

Seeing this, Wu Kun’s heart dropped.

It was all going downhill. Their request for Zhou Zheng’s help was about to completely fall through!
