Zhou Wang glanced at Chen He, and by the scars on his face, he could vaguely guess what had happened. But he had no interest in asking for details, so he just casually said:
"Make it clear, do you just want to break free from her control, or are you thinking about revenge too?"
Chen He hesitated, then his eyes lit up and he cautiously asked, "Is revenge possible?"
Zhou Wang thought for a moment, although he might owe a favor, Chen He had been obedient for a long time. Even if he had no merit, he had toiled hard. That Sister Yan might be someone in a certain circle in Jiang-Zhe-Hu, but in his current position, she was nothing. So he nodded.
"Yes."
"Then, that would trouble you, Mr. Zhou..."
Chen He said excitedly.
Zhou Wang didn’t delay, and right in front of Chen He, he took out his phone, found Zhang Shihao’s number, and called it.
Since it’s in the media field, Zhang Shihao would be more professional in this regard.
Although it was already rest time in the evening, the call was quickly answered, and a familiar hearty laugh from Zhang Shihao came through:
"Oh, Brother Zhou, what a rare guest. It’s been a long time since I received your call..."
"Sorry, second brother, I’ve been swamped lately."
They hadn’t been in touch for a while, generally handling Wuyou Media’s affairs through email, so Zhou Wang felt a bit embarrassed.
But Zhang Shihao understood very well, "Hahaha, you’ve done so much in Beidou. It’s natural to be busy... By the way, about the Wangyuan Commerce thing, although big sis probably called you personally, I owe you a thank you too."
That thank you from Zhang Shihao was sincere.
Because of Young Master Zhang and his relationship with Zhou Wang, the Beidou subsidiary of Zhang Group became one of the founding members of Wangyuan Commerce and also an original shareholder of the soon-to-be-established Wangzhou Pharmaceutical.
The "Little Blue Bottle," backed by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Institute, even a blind person could see the immense economic effects behind it and the influence it would bring to certain circles.
It was even listed as one of Zhang Group’s key projects in the next five years, aligning with Old Sir Zhang’s expectations for leading the group’s transformation, causing quite a stir within the Zhang Family.
For this reason, Old Sir Zhang even dragged his ailing body to hold board meetings for three consecutive days, which shows his level of importance.
Zhang Shihao’s elder sister, Zhang Shiling, who is Young Master Zhang’s mother, called him multiple times these days, even wanting to fly to Beidou personally to thank him, but she stopped after learning Zhou Wang would soon be going to Magic City.
Thanks to Zhou Wang, Young Master Zhang had received a lot of praise within the group recently, putting pressure on other heirs competing with him.
Only Zhang Shihao, who personally interacted with Zhou Wang, knew that because of their good relationship, Young Master Zhang had actually taken a big step towards that position, one that others might not catch up to...
Zhang Shihao privately lamented that he should have sent his own be-good-for-nothing son to Yunan Province for training too. Who knew such opportunities could arise?
In short, due to Zhang Group’s current extreme friendliness towards him, Zhou Wang had the confidence to call Zhang Shihao.
Eager to return the favor to Zhou Wang, Zhang Shihao certainly wouldn’t refuse his request.
Sure enough, after Zhou Wang briefly explained the situation, Zhang Shihao pondered and said, "Is it Li Yan, the deputy general manager of Qinhuai Media? I think I’ve heard of her..."
Zhou Wang turned his inquiring gaze to Chen He, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, and upon seeing him nod, Zhou Wang confirmed, "Yes. How about it, second brother, is it difficult?"
"Easy."
Zhang Shihao laughed heartily, "Leave it to me."
...
A five-minute phone call and it was done?
Chen He walked out of Beidou No.1 Courtyard’s neighborhood, half-doubting as he took a cab back to his place, pondering this issue the entire way.
He was genuinely anxious.
It wasn’t about doubting Zhou Wang’s capabilities; rather, from Chen He’s perspective, Zhou Wang’s earlier willingness to support him was just because he was interested in Ji Xiaoxi.
But now that Ji Xiaoxi had disappeared, Zhou Wang essentially lost any reason to help him.
...Although Zhou Wang had promised to look out for his future.
Initially, Chen He contemplated using Ji Xiaoxi’s whereabouts as leverage to secure Zhou Wang’s assistance, but after repeated consideration, he squashed that thought and chose to report frankly first, to show his good faith...
In short, Chen He worried that Zhou Wang wouldn’t give it his all for him, especially since, from Chen He’s perspective, Zhou Wang only made a call. It seemed too easy, almost perfunctory.
But Chen He didn’t dare question it, so he could only mumble to himself, praying that Zhou Wang was even more formidable than he imagined and could really settle the high-standing Li Yan in the Jiang-Zhe-Hu circle with one call.
Although Chen He felt a bit like he was daydreaming, what if...
Revving himself up, Chen He had just paid for his cab when his phone rang.
When he pulled out his phone, he subconsciously shivered.
Speak of the devil — the caller ID showed "My Dearest Baby," and it was Li Yan... Ji Xiaoxi wasn’t fond of Chen He’s random nicknames for her, but Li Yan paid special attention to it.
During the most exaggerated times, she even installed software on Chen He’s phone with location tracking functionality, capable of monitoring his spending, to ensure he wouldn’t sneak off to foot massages behind her back.
