Xia Zhi had been playing games on her computer at work for the past two days, but she would occasionally send him paperwork. The actions taken by the shareholders were detailed in the document.

There was a wide variety of misconduct on the part of these investors, including, but not limited to, tardiness, absence without leave, and financial misappropriation.

Using the information Xia Zhi gave him, Sun Chuan threatened and bribed the shareholders into slowly switching sides. This was all done right under Xia Long’s nose, and he didn’t even seem to notice.

Although Sun Chuan was initially terrified, after practicing the technique several times, he came to feel completely at ease.

Therefore, after Xia Zhi corrected him, Sun Chuan quickly changed his mind and said,”President Xia, which shareholder have we brought to the right path?”

“We won’t do this today,” Xia Zhi got out of her chair and declared. “We have other arrangements.”

“Other arrangements?” Sun Chuan was puzzled.

“Yes!” Xia Zhi responded in the affirmative and then said, “It’s time to complete the next project a few days ago. Otherwise, I might soon forget about it.”

Xia Long’s mentioned project from the day before was a major obstacle.

This was a tiny offshoot of the Wang Company. It made bread and snacks. There was a fatal food poisoning incident a while back. It had caused a significant amount of damage to the company.

Xia Long had also attempted to save the company, but there was no proof that the subsidiary company was not guilty. As a result, he had made a decision. He was considering dissolving the subsidiary to spare the main office from disruption.

“Director Xia, Xia Long is trying to make things difficult for you.” Sun Chuan took one look at the rundown, empty subsidiary and vented his frustrations.

Xia Zhi’s feelings hardly shifted. She merely nodded her head absentmindedly. She was also mindful to offer Sun Chuan some solace. “It’s fine. I can use this company to practice.”

When the two of them finally made their way inside the subsidiary company, they discovered an environment identical to the one outside. It was dilapidated and empty.

Actually, there was someone.

A man was sprawled out on the floor. His hair and beard were so disheveled that they resembled a chicken’s nest. There were wounds of all sizes on his body, and blood stained his entire clothes. His gaze was lifeless as he stared at the ceiling.

Xia Zhi immediately recognized the man upon seeing his face. He was the food designer who was involved in the accident. She called out to him. ,”Zhou Shan.”

Zhou Shan remained completely still despite hearing his name being called. He only rolled his eyes and then closed them again. “I’m going to repeat what I said before,” he mumbled. “The food won’t go on sale until I’ve tried it myself. There are no safety risks. You can hit me if you don’t believe me.”

Xia Zhi had a general understanding of the situation, so she said directly, “I’m from the company headquarters. I’m here to solve the problem.”

“Headquarters?” Zhou Shan’s eyes lit up for a moment, but they dimmed again. His voice was lifeless. “Previously, I asked the headquarters for help, but there was no reply. I thought Xia Long had long given up. Why would he send someone over? What’s more, she was just a little girl. Does he wish to fan the flames?

Xia Zhi did not take offense at that. At this point Sun Chuan stood up, his glasses nudged higher up his nose bridge, and he said gravely, “CEO Zhou, don’t look down on others. Our CEO Xia is very capable. That piece of garbage, Xia Long, has nothing on her.”

Zhou Shan felt faint, possibly because he hadn’t eaten in a while. After he had calmed down for a while, he realized that there were actually two of us here. He couldn’t deal with Xia Long previously, but this opportunity had come.

After understanding this, Zhou Shan slowly sat up from the ground. But he still didn’t put much faith in the young Xia Zhi standing before him. He subconsciously asked, “Can you really do it?”

Rather than provide a firm response, Xia Zhi mused softly, “Won’t we know if we can try? What you’re doing now, lying in wait to die, is far worse even if my methods fail.”
