Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Xu Jinzhi Challenges Xie Linchuan

Xu Jinzhi’s condition had stabilized, and Xie Yanchuan immediately arranged her discharge from the hospital.

Before leaving the hospital, they went to visit Xie Suian. Xie Suian had woken up around midnight the night before, but his condition was quite serious.

The doctor had advised him to remain in the hospital for observation for another two days.

Xie Yanchuan had visited him once last night and had asked the nurse to keep an eye on Xu Jinzhi this morning while he took the time to visit again.

However, Xu Jinzhi had not visited yet, and now that she was fine, she ought to go see him.

By the time they arrived at the ward, Xie Suian was on the phone, while He Shuying and Xie Linchuan sat silently beside him, both looking unwell.

When Xie Suian saw Xu Jinzhi and the others coming, he gestured for them to make themselves comfortable, mentioning he needed to finish his call first. He Shuying, however, smiled and inquired softly about Xu Jinzhi’s condition.

Xie Linchuan, due to the matter with Lin Chu, felt somewhat guilty looking at Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi just glanced at Xie Linchuan, her expression very calm as if nothing had happened, but only she knew in her heart that she blamed Xie Linchuan for the incident.

Liang Shiyu made her uncomfortable, and naturally, she knew ways to return the favor; she just wondered if Liang Shiyu could handle it!

But that no longer concerned her.

Soon Xie Suian ended his call and walked over; his first question to Xu Jinzhi was, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Xu Jinzhi responded coolly.

After a brief exchange, Xie Suian urged them all to go back, especially Xu Jinzhi, telling her to rest as soon as possible.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t insist on staying, and before long, she left with Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi had fainted suddenly, and Xie Yanchuan, worried, did not let her go to work and insisted she rest for at least a day.

On the way back, Xu Jinzhi belatedly realized that she had been about to dine with Xie Yanchuan the day before, but they had ended up in the hospital before even starting their meal.

There was a tinge of regret in Xu Jinzhi’s heart, and as she looked at Xie Yanchuan, she felt an increasing sense of pity.

Two days later, Xie Suian’s condition had stabilized, and the doctor allowed him to be discharged. His first order of business after leaving the hospital was to organize a dinner so Liang Shiyu could apologize to Xu Zhen.

Even though Liang Shiyu was reluctant to admit it, there were some things she couldn’t just shake off.

Since she couldn’t clear things up, the final outcome had to be an apology from Liang Shiyu.

Very innocently, Liang Shiyu explained, "Uncle, I really had no idea she would do such a thing; she asked about you, and I thought she was just being curious."

"I didn’t expect she would want to..."

Liang Shiyu seemed unable to continue her sentence, her face filled with shame and even a hint of grievance, unsure if it was because of her best friend’s betrayal or the apology itself.

Ultimately, no one spoke up for Liang Shiyu, not even Xie Linchuan, who loved her deeply and could go to great lengths for her, but he had his own moral standards.

Lin Chu’s actions this time had disgusted him deeply, and the relationship between Liang Shiyu and Lin Chu made it impossible for him to defend Liang Shiyu.

Xu Zhen did give Xie Suian that face.

After all, the matter itself hadn’t affected him, but since Xie Suian had ended up in the hospital because of it, that face was certainly due.

Yet Xu Jinzhi hadn’t given Liang Shiyu a single glance from beginning to end.

However, just because Xu Jinzhi said nothing didn’t mean she did nothing.

The next day, Xu Jinzhi took the opportunity to berate Xie Linchuan at Xie Group, his home turf.

The reason was simple, it was regarding the new employee Xu Jinzhi had seen at the last meeting.

At that time, she hadn’t thought much of it, after all, employees came and went in a company all the time, and a new one wouldn’t concern her.

But the person had clearly got the job through connections and yet had no idea about keeping a low profile; instead, they acted as if they were carrying a commanding sword, and Xu Jinzhi quickly learned about them.

Even so, Xu Jinzhi had no intention of dealing with that person; after all, it wasn’t her company, so why should she care?

As the year’s end approached, she had many matters to attend to, yet some people seemed to enjoy causing her displeasure.

When she was displeased, it was natural that she wouldn’t let the others be pleased.

And that man had many vulnerabilities to exploit, not only that, if things dragged on, it could definitely damage Xu Group’s interests.

So, Xu Jinzhi’s outburst was completely justified.

In the conference room, Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Linchuan, "Mr. Xie, the new year is just a few days away, and I’m just wondering, can the second phase of the project start smoothly after the new year?"

"Of course it can," Xie Linchuan replied without any hesitation, swearing with confidence.

"Oh," Xu Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully and then continued, "Then I’m curious, you don’t even have the building materials ready, what will you use to start the project smoothly after the new year?"

"What do you mean by that?" Xie Linchuan furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Xu Jinzhi somewhat confused and puzzled as if he hadn’t grasped the meaning of her words.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by Xie Linchuan, a man’s face changed instantly upon hearing Xu Jinzhi’s words, and he became visibly nervous.

Xu Jinzhi scoffed coldly, and right on cue, Assistant Chen passed a document to Xu Jinzhi, who threw it without even looking directly in front of Xie Linchuan, who was sitting across from her.

Xie Linchuan was still perplexed, but he picked up the document to read it, and his expression darkened immediately upon understanding its contents.

Xie Linchuan turned his head to look at the man in the corner, asking sternly, "Liang Yu, what is the meaning of this? Didn’t you say it was all ready?"

"Brother-in-law, it’s not..." Liang Yu looked anxious, "Mr. Xu, it was surely arranged before, but there was a problem at the supplier’s end."

"But rest assured, I’ve already communicated with them, and the building materials will definitely be delivered smoothly after the new year; it won’t delay the project!"

"Huh." Xu Jinzhi scoffed, sounding particularly stark in the quiet conference room.

Liang Yu was already anxious, and seeing Xu Jinzhi’s mocking expression, he became a bit angry.

But Xu Jinzhi had no intention of wasting more words on a minion like Liang Yu; instead, she went directly for Xie Linchuan,

"Xie Linchuan, ever since this project started, problems keep arising on your end, and I’m beginning to doubt your capabilities."
