Chapter 911
Chapter 911
"What?" I just felt relieved, but then my heart ached again.
I felt relieved because Zeng Zhi didn't do anything to let Wu Ling down, but I was worried because the thing I had been worried about finally happened.
Wu Ling’s lawyer friend couldn’t help us either, and we couldn’t terminate the contract with Zhao Feihan smoothly.
This may sound surprising at first, but it is expected if you think about it carefully.
Zhao Feihan is a man of deep thoughts, so at first we couldn't imagine that he would use so many tricks on me. He is so scheming that when he tricked Wu Ling into signing the contract, he naturally made full preparations, making it impossible for us to terminate the contract through normal procedures.
"Baby, I will help you think of a way to terminate the contract, but there is no need to make yourself suffer like this." Zeng Zhi helped Wu Ling get into the car with a distressed look on his face.
I was about to drive my own car, but Wu Ling held my hand and refused to let go, his eyes full of guilt and sadness: "Xuxu, it's all my fault. I didn't have a brain at the beginning and directly agreed to cooperate with Zhao Feihan. I signed the contract without even reading it carefully. I didn't expect that this was a trap. It screwed us all..."
"Sister, don't say that. You are a kind-hearted person. But then again, if it were me, I would not have thought that Zhao Feihan would tamper with the contract. He is too cunning and treacherous. Don't blame yourself." I followed Wu Ling into Zeng Zhi's car and held her hand to calm her down.
I don't blame Wu Ling, I never have. She has tried her best.
When Zhao Feihan wanted to invest, I knew about it before signing the contract. I even had lunch with Zhao Feihan and Wu Ling in the same meeting room on the day of signing the contract. I didn't become alert at the time and didn't think about checking the contract. I didn't say that I didn't want to terminate the contract with Zhao Feihan. I just declined the position of project manager.
After Zhao Feihan did something that made me uncomfortable, Wu Ling's first reaction was to terminate the contract with Zhao Feihan. She chose to terminate the contract with Zhao Feihan because of me and she didn't even make any money.
In this case, how could I blame her?
"But I was the one who signed the contract. I didn't..." Wu Ling still felt very guilty and wanted to say more.
I took a deep breath and gently interrupted her: "Sister, I have an appointment with Zhao Feihan for lunch tomorrow. I can talk to him directly about the termination of the contract."
"What?" This time, not only Wu Ling was surprised, but even Zeng Zhi in the driver's seat was surprised.
He looked at me, frowning, "That Zhao Feihan has evil intentions towards you. If you go there, it would be like throwing meat into the tiger's mouth. Besides, a cunning and treacherous wolf like him will definitely not cancel the contract just to see you. Don't go."
"Yes, he is right. Xuxu, don't go. This is a Hongmen Banquet." Wu Ling also held my hand tightly, eager to stop me.
I know this is a Hongmen Banquet, but we have no other way out now.
Besides, the matter between Zhao Feihan and I should have a result, and I also want to talk it out with him face to face. If there is a chance to terminate the original contract, wouldn’t that be an extra surprise?
But seeing how worried Wu Ling and Zeng Zhi were, I knew that if I didn't agree to them now, they would not let me go.
So I frowned and looked distressed: "But there is nothing we can do, and... Never mind, what you said makes sense, so I won't go."
"You shouldn't go." Wu Ling now turned to persuade me, "Xu Xu, you promised me that you really can't go. You just heard about the termination of the contract. Zeng Zhi said he would help us find a solution."
Her face was full of worry and nervousness, while Zeng Zhi on the side frowned and looked gloomy: "Yes, leave this matter to me. We can't be bullied by an outsider. By the way, Manager Meng, what time is your appointment with Zhao Feihan tomorrow? Otherwise, I will help you meet him."
Zeng Zhi looks honest and simple, a silly boy, but he is actually more meticulous than Wu Ling. He is still worried and wants to know clearly what time Zhao Feihan and I have an appointment for.
I know why he wants to see Zhao Feihan. He doesn't just want to go to the battlefield for me, but also to vent his anger for Wu Ling.
After all, Wu Ling was the apple of his eye, but she was schemed against by Zhao Feihan and had to come to the bar crying in the middle of the night. He certainly couldn't get over this.
I remained calm and said, "It's at 7 o'clock in the evening, in the coffee shop."
Then I said with some worry, "Assistant Zeng, why don't you just not go? I can just send him a message to cancel the meeting. Don't cause any trouble and make my sister worry about you again."
"I'm not worried. Let him go. Otherwise, Zhao Feihan will think that we are afraid of him. We can't lose." Wu Ling wiped away her tears and supported Zeng Zhi to meet Zhao Feihan.
Zeng Zhi also comforted me: "Don't worry, I won't make a big deal out of it, I just want to meet him."
I nodded and didn't say anything more.
I'm actually not that worried, because there's no way Zeng Zhi will meet Zhao Feihan in the coffee shop at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
But I turned my eyes and saw a list placed on Zeng Zhi's co-pilot seat.
It was a hospital bill.
My heart suddenly moved, and I subconsciously moved closer to see it more clearly.
But it was the middle of the night, the lights in the carriage were dim, and I couldn't see clearly.
I just looked over when Zeng Zhi stretched out his arm and handed me his suit jacket: "The baby is wearing too thin clothes, Manager Meng, please help put this jacket on her shoulders, she can't catch a cold now."
His arm just happened to block my view, so I could only look away and put my coat on Wu Ling's shoulders.
He also told Wu Ling not to worry about what happened tonight, and told Zeng Zhi to make some ginger tea for Wu Ling when she got home. Although Wu Ling did not drink any alcohol in the bar just now, she had a cold drink with ice.
Wu Ling was still very apologetic: "I'm sorry Xuxu, I made you run again, go home and have a good rest, and be sure to send me a message when you get home."
"Okay, I know. Assistant Zeng, please drive safely." I had already gotten out of the car, waved to them, and said goodbye with a smile.
After watching their car leave, I took out my keys and walked towards my car.
It was already very late, and it was not convenient for me to go to Ono's house at this time. I still had some things at home that I needed to take to the company tomorrow, so I drove directly back to my community.
It was a quiet night with few vehicles and pedestrians on the road. I didn't play any music and drove quietly, thinking about the hospital bill I had just seen in Zeng Zhi's car.
I never saw the name on the list clearly, and I didn't know if it was Zhou Hanzhi.
I was still thinking about all sorts of things when a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind. I stepped on the ground suddenly and the car braked with a sharp sound.
