Chapter 1249: Chapter 1153: Familiar Tricks

It was said that he had been acting quite abnormal lately.

Xi Jiachen was utterly disappointed in this younger brother and had since stopped caring about him.

And Xi Zijun, this time, had not gone out of her way either.

It was said that Xi Jiaxin had collided with no ordinary person, but the only son of a high-ranking official in Beijing who had been drinking with him.

The man was still lying in the hospital, his life hanging by a thread.

This time, if Xi Zijun wanted to get Xi Jiaxin out, it would likely be even more difficult.

Xia Yangyang had just come out of her room.

She saw Xi Zijun and Gu Qichen talking on the terrace.

Xia Yangyang originally did not want to intrude.

But Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang.

He walked directly towards Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang also walked over and took the initiative to greet Xi Zijun, “Miss Xi, long time no see.”

Xi Zijun smiled, “We’ve known each other for so long, calling me Miss Xi is too formal, just call me Zijun.”

Xia Yangyang curved her lips into a smile.

Xia Yangyang turned to Gu Qichen and asked, “What were you just talking about?”

Gu Qichen said, “Just some minor business matters.”

Xi Zijun made an excuse, “What’s minor to Ah Chen is major to me. When I first established my Zijun Winery, Ah Chen lent me some money. The winery wasn’t profitable before, but this year it has started to pick up and has made quite a bit. I, Xi Zijun, know to repay kindness, so I converted that money into shares for him, but he’s being too polite and unwilling to accept.”

Gu Qichen said, “It wasn’t much money to begin with, and shares aren’t necessary. Just transfer it directly to my account when your funds rotate in the future.”

However, Xi Zijun simply smiled, “Ah Chen, you still don’t understand my intention. If Shengyuan became a major shareholder in Zijun, the future development would be twice as effective. I’m trying to hitch a ride on Shengyuan’s success.”

Xia Yangyang said, “You’re now the Vice President of Jiang Chen, compared to Jiang Chen, what is Shengyuan really? Miss Xi, if you need a powerful background, why go looking far afield?”

Xi Zijun still smiled gently, her expression serene, “Yangyang, you’re not in the business, so naturally you don’t understand my difficulties. After all, Jiang Chen is my uncle’s enterprise. Though my uncle appreciates me, using Jiang Chen to develop my own affairs feels somewhat self-serving. Moreover, my uncle has three sons, and now that Xiao Han has awakened, I will eventually have to vacate the vice president position for him. If I leave Jiang Chen, the clients who previously sided with Jiang Chen might cause trouble, and I believe I can trust Shengyuan more, since I’ve been business partners with Ah Chen for many years.”

Xi Zijun half-jokingly turned to Gu Qichen, “But it all depends on whether Shengyuan is willing to let me take advantage of this opportunity.”

Actually, Xia Yangyang didn’t understand much about business matters.

But she couldn’t help but wonder if she was being overly suspicious, always feeling that Xi Zijun’s ambitions lay elsewhere.

Although she listed plenty of reasons, Xia Yangyang still felt something was off.

Does someone like Xi Zijun really need to take advantage of Shengyuan?

Later, Xia Yangyang recalled what Xi Zijun had previously said about being dismissed by Jiang Chen and having nowhere to go, and then going to Shengyuan as a director.

In fact, that wasn’t the case at all.

Xi Zijun just wanted to be the first to seize any opportunity close at hand.

But now things were not the same as before.

Xi Zijun surely didn’t need to resort to the same tricks anymore, did she?
