Chapter 196: Targeting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Xu Zhi heard this, he was shocked and looked at Jiang Chen and Zheng Tian in disbelief. However, the two of them were unfazed, so Xu Zhi could only look at his brother-in-law, Jiang Heng, who had been sitting at the side without saying anything.

Jiang Heng waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing he could do. Upon seeing this, Xu Zhi felt even more disappointed.

“Why?” Resistance was written all over Xu Zhi’s face as he looked at Jiang Chen and he was even a little agitated. “Cousin, why can’t we compete fair and square? Why must we target them?”

Xu Zhi didn’t know what else he could do to reject this matter. He knew the Jiang family’s unscrupulous way of doing things, so it was basically impossible for them to stop. The Xu family had always followed the Jiang family’s lead. This was also the reason Xu Zhi had always rejected the Jiang and Xu families’ invitations. He wanted to focus on his own life more.

However, in this plan, the company being targeted was Yushu Buyi, the company the person he loved and was willing to sacrifice everything for. Yet, he was forced to carry out this plan.

“Cousin, I can’t accept it.” Xu Zhi refused firmly, his eyes filled with determination.

Jiang Chen just stared at him indifferently and asked with a smile, “Cousin, you can’t possibly still hope to be with Shi Yi, right?”

Xu Zhi was stunned and couldn’t say anything for a moment. Yes, the two of them being together was his greatest wish, but Shi Yi had already told him so firmly that it was impossible and that they should not contact each other anymore.

However, even if the two of them no longer had anything to do with each other and could no longer be friends, they shouldn’t be enemies either.

Xu Zhi would never become Shi Yi’s enemy.

Jiang Chen’s expression was very gentle, and even his smile was comforting. However, his words were bewitching. “Cousin, of course you can choose to refuse. In that case, you can leave Down Ridge Clothes Workshop and find a job you like.”

Xu Zhi didn’t expect Jiang Chen to be so easygoing. He didn’t force him to stay as he had imagined. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Chen continued, “But you probably won’t see Shi Yi again, right?”

Xu Zhi was stunned. Yes, this was the truth. The conflict between the two families made it difficult for them to see each other in the future, even if it was a ball like today’s. He knew that Shi Yi would definitely avoid it.

Shi Yi had a tough personality and was decisive in everything she did. She was never someone who would give in easily. If she made the decision to leave, she definitely wouldn’t leave any way out for herself, nor would she give herself any chance to backtrack. Therefore, the two of them were really going to cut off all ties.

When Xu Zhi thought of this, disappointment overcame him again. It turned out that unknowingly, he no longer just had a good impression of Shi Yi, but developed feelings for her.

Seeing Xu Zhi’s reaction, Jiang Chen was satisfied and continued, “Staying in Down Ridge Clothes Workshop is the only chance for the two of you to see each other.”

Xu Zhi didn’t speak for a long time, and the four people in the room didn’t say anything either. Jiang Chen patiently waited for Xu Zhi to think things over carefully.

He knew what Xu Zhi wanted very well. It could be said that even Xu Zhi and Shi Yi’s meeting was a part of Jiang Chen’s plan.

Of course, Jiang Chen knew that it was impossible for the two of them to be together. They shouldn’t have met each other from the beginning, but their personalities and talents attracted them to each other. What they lacked was a chance to meet each other.

Some people knew that meeting each other was wrong and told themselves not to become tempted even before they met, but their encounter was a coincidence that they didn’t foresee. They seemed to know each other, but they had no idea about each other’s true identities.

Originally, Jiang Chen had never thought of using Xu Zhi. After all, he wasn’t someone who liked to force others to listen to his orders. There were many people in the Xu family who were willing to serve him, so Xu Zhi didn’t make a difference.

However, an accident happened, so his plan changed and he had no choice but to make use of Xu Zhi..
