C21 Chasing out Shen Ze

After Shen Ze dialed in the number, he immediately shouted: "Dad, I am your son! Fame Corporation should be mine! It's fine if you let Shen Bijun be in charge, but why did you have to let some trash be in charge of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project.

A voice came from the other end of the phone, "I have other plans for this matter so don't worry about it for now. I don't want to alert the enemy!"

"I can't stand it!" Shen Ze said while clenching his teeth.

"Even if you can't tolerate it, you still have to. I have an idea on this matter! Stop bothering me about this matter!"

Everyone was staring at Shen Ze, but they gradually realized that something was amiss.

Shenze was not as happy as everyone thought he would be for someone who claimed to be able to take revenge on Zhouyang for his own thrill.

On the contrary, Shen Ze's expression turned gloomier by the second.

"I must get my hands on the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project!" Shenze yelled and hung up the call.

"Bam!"

Shenze, shouting in anger, suddenly threw his phone onto the ground and smashed it into pieces.

"How is it? Young Master Shen, I wonder how long I'll have to wait."

Even someone who had turned senile could tell that Shenze's attempt to call for reinforcements had failed miserably.

"Zhouyang, don't be complacent. Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have my sister's protection. The Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project will sooner or later be mine!"

Shen Ze growled, but his tone seemed to be lacking in confidence.

"Hehe, I have the final say in the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project. Today is the opening ceremony of our project, but Young Master Shen has already heavily interfered with the ceremony."

Zhouyang paused for a second and immediately looked at Shen Ze with a pair of torch-like eyes.

"So, Young Master Shen, please take your people and leave this place immediately!"

Silence!

In that instant, the entire Soaring Dragon Hall paused in absolute silence.

If it was before, when Zhouyang told Chen Junsheng to scram, it would still be understandable. After all, Fame Corporation did not invite him.

However, at this moment, Zhouyang wanted to chase Shen Ze out.

Even if there was something wrong with Shen Ze before, he was Shen Bijun's brother after all. Could it be that Zhouyang really didn't have any scruples?

To everyone's surprise, Shen Bijun didn't say anything and simply remained silent. He just looked at Shen Ze and didn't have any intention of stopping Zhouyang whatsoever.

"Good! Good! Alright!"

"This is the first time that I, Shen Ze, have been chased away by someone, Zhouyang! I'll remember this humiliation for as long as I live! Just you wait and see what'll happen to you!"

Shen Ze stood petrified for a long time before he finally reacted. Fuming in anger like he never did before, he even began laughing in disbelief at this preposterous situation.

Soon after, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Ze turned around and left. Though a chair blocked his path in front of him, he simply kicked it away like a sore loser of today's battle.

When the two women saw Shen Ze leave, they too grumbled and followed him out.

"Zhouyang, you've offended Young Master Shen. Even if Shen Bijun protects you, you won't be able to be proud for long. I'll wait for you to come and beg me. Maybe, for Lingyu's sake, I'll even plead for you."

Chen Junsheng was the last to leave the hall. He gave Zhouyang a deep look and said to Xie Lingyu, "Lingyu, let's go!"

Xie Lingyu looked at Chen Junsheng with an indifferent expression. With her hands behind her back, she said softly, "I still have things to do. You can go by yourself."

Chen Junsheng was stunned for a moment. He immediately realized that Xie Lingyu was pissed at him for mentioning her relationship with Zhouyang.

But in his heart, he always believed that the relationship between Xie Lingyu and Zhouyang would not end well. He believed that Xie Lingyu would return to his arms sooner or later.

"Alright then, I'll be there at Auntie's birthday party tomorrow anyways."

After saying that, Chen Junsheng raised his chin slightly and let out a smug smile at Zhouyang before leaving.

"Birthday?"

Zhouyang blinked a few times in response to Chen Junsheng's words.

Tomorrow was Xie Lingyu's mother's birthday. For the previous three years, Mrs. Xie had always happily celebrated her birthday. However, whenever Zhouyang brought her a gift that he had meticulously prepared for Mrs. Xie, she would always respond to him with a cold glare.

Did Chen Junsheng's words mean that he and Xie Lingyu's relations had already gone a step further?

All of a sudden, Zhouyang's mind was washed away by his complicated emotions.

However, Zhouyang did not have the time to talk to Xie Lingyu right now.

After driving Shen Ze and the others away, the hall returned to its previous tranquility, and the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project commencement ceremony officially began.

As the absolute leader of the project, Zhouyang walked to the front of the hall and started his speech.

With the detailed PPT display on the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project, as well as the direction of future projects and the profit margin, Zhouyang had explained everything clearly to all the companies present.

Doing so not only allowed the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project to attract more people's attention, but it also allowed the companies that worked with the Fame to gain confidence.

"The Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project is expected to produce profits within a year, and the profit rate will definitely exceed ten times the original invested amount!"

Zhouyang declared with full confidence of the prospects of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project.

Ten times the profit was certainly something he had said to motivate everyone. However, it was only Zhouyang himself who knew that the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project would definitely generate more than ten times the invested amount.

Even without knowing what Zhouyang really had in mind, everyone became extremely excited after hearing Zhouyang's confident words, combined with the prospects of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project.

If it was really as Zhouyang had said, his Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project would be able to earn more than ten times the profit in a short year.

Then, even if they weren't the biggest beneficiaries, they would still generate a decent amount of profit and gain several benefits as the basic partner of this project.

"We trust Fame Corporation very much. We are also willing to trust Manager Zhou to help us earn profit together!"

"That's right, there's certainly nothing wrong with following the steps of the Fame Corporation and Manager Zhou."

Everyone agreed. Without Shen Ze present to cause any further trouble, the atmosphere was harmonious.

"May I ask if Mr. Zhouyang is here?"

Just then, a man in a suit walked into the Soaring Dragon Hall, looked at everyone, and asked in a soft voice.

In a split-second, everyone stared at Zhouyang.

"I'm assuming that you must be Mr. Zhouyang?"

The man followed everyone's gaze and saw Zhouyang, who was standing at the front of the hall, and walked in front of him within a few steps.

"I'm Zhouyang, what's the matter?"

Zhouyang asked with an expressionless face.

Looking at the man in front of him, he wore clothes similar to the ones worn in Jade Lake House, but there was also a slight difference.

This allowed Zhouyang to guess his opponent's identity.

It was just that Zhouyang, who had been a mere son-in-law previously, basically did not have any connections with anyone, much less someone from the Jade Lake House.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I am the manager of Jade Lake House. Upon hearing of your arrival at the Jade Lake House, my boss had originally planned to come and welcome you personally. But since he has urgent matters to attend to at the moment, he couldn't come to meet you in person. Thus, he could only ask me to come in his place and make sure to make an apology on his behalf."

The manager smiled and said softly. He then clapped his hands and looked at everyone.

"In order to express our apology and celebrate the commencement of Mr. Zhouyang's new project, all of tonight's expenses will be paid for by our Jade Lake House."

Upon hearing the manager's words, everyone present was dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe what they had just heard.

Even Shen Bijun had a surprised look on her face as her gaze immediately fixed onto Zhouyang's face.

To think that the boss of Jade Lake House wanted to personally congratulate Zhouyang. But just because he could not come in person, he even sent the manager of Jade Lake House over to apologize on his behalf.

One has to understand that since the opening of Jade Lake House, it has been widely known for its high-end luxury.

As for the boss behind the Jade Lake House, he was someone that ordinary people could not hope to meet or even see. Even if you held the position of the manager here, it still lacked in comparison to the position of the boss.

How could this not surprise everyone present?

In a split-second, a giant question popped into everyone's mind.

Who exactly is this Zhouyang?

If he was simply a shareholder in the Fame company and only the person in charge of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project, it was basically impossible for him to come into contact with someone at the same level as the boss behind the Jade Lake House.

Even Shen Bijun of Fame Company herself did not possess the necessary qualifications to meet the boss who owned the Jade Lake House.

"Your boss? I don't think I've ever met your boss before?"

Zhouyang frowned slightly as he looked at the group of attendants that just walked in. Though he was quite confused, he figured that Jade Lake House also had some ties with the Zhou Group.

"Although you have never met our boss, he has always been very respectful to you."

The manager smiled but did not speak any further. He simply paid for the expenses of the ceremony and left the Soaring Dragon Hall.

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Zhouyang, full of curiosity.

"Manager Zhou, what is your relationship with the boss of Jade Lake House?"

Director Zhang, the president of Beauty Co., was the first person who asked the sought-after question.

Zhouyang, as speechless as he is, could see a hint of envy in the other party's eyes.

"That's right, Manager Zhou. If you had mentioned earlier that you knew the boss of Jade Lake House, neither Shen Ze nor Chen Junsheng would dare to treat you like they did."

"That's right, Manager Zhou. It's not every day that you get the opportunity to meet the boss of the Jade Lake House."

Many people spoke out, their voices full of envy and desires.

"Sorry but I haven't met the owner of Jade Lake House before either. Not even once."

Zhouyang denied it directly.

"But he knew you and even said he respected you, didn't he? Zhouyang, in the last three years, why have you always been willingly working at Fame Company as a small employee? I'm just getting more and more curious about your true identity now."

Shen Bijun's voice, full of allure, sounded beside Zhouyang's ear.

"Would you believe if I say that I'm also surprised myself?"

Zhouyang said helplessly.

It was at this moment that he noticed Xie Lingyu standing by herself in the corner of the hall, staring at him silently and coldly.
