Chapter 633 Men are Treacherous Creatures

Chen Shi turned silent. She stared at Qi Xia's face as she thought about Zhou Jingren and Lily. "Do you know if… Zhou Jingren is also involved in the matter regarding my ex-husband?" she asked.

"We are not sure. But… he might be."

"Is there something else that you want to tell me?" she asked. She needed time to think about all this alone. "If you don't have anything to say then… please leave now. I am not very comfortable with you in here, knowing you could try to kill me anytime."

"Miss Chen is really something. After everything that I did, are you still doubting me and Zhou Huifang?"

"Men are treacherous creatures." Chen Shi said.

Men cannot be trusted. This was the rule that she had long imposed on herself. 

Seeing Chen Shi's resolute expression, Qi Xia stood from his seat. He could not really blame this woman for not trusting him. "Alright… I will leave. But I hope this is enough proof to convince you that we are on your side." His lips thinned. 

"I know." Chen Shi nodded. After making sure that he already left, she instantly opened her laptop and started reading the proof that he had handed her.

She frowned. The thing is… this was actually not proof but an assumption. This was an opinion- their opinion. The crease in the middle of her brows deepened as she thought of everything that Qi Xia had said. It seemed that Qi Xia and Zhou Huifang really wanted to have her attack Zhou Jingren.

But why?

Was it because she also had a small network in the black market? Or was it because they wanted to stay anonymous? Those two really underestimated her. Closing her laptop, she walked towards her bed, still thinking about her daughter.

If Demi really left the facility, then why did Jun not say something about it?

All these things were making her more confused. She opened her phone and dialed a number. "Samantha." She uttered. "How is everything on your end?"

"Your father is doing well. Thanks to your husband." She rose from her bed and started pacing around the room. "No. You can't see him, yet. I've already told you. You can only see him once everything is done. Yes, you have to tell Adrian to convince his father to transfer the shares under his name."

"I already told you. The Lee Group is rightfully ours." She nodded. "Good. It is good that you understand this. Men are nothing but tools Samantha. You must remember that." Chen Shi then ended the call before throwing her phone on the bed.

Since she could not really act against her enemies without causing a turmoil, she will focus on her real goal after all this time. After all, Zhou Jingren might have been eliminated as the heir of the Lee Group but Adrian was still there.

She could still have the revenge that she wanted against the Lee Family. Of course, it might cost her a lot. But… it would be worth it.

In the end… it would all be worth it.

Finally, after a few weeks of being idle, Lily finally went back to the Facci Group to attend a meeting with all the executives. While she was not working as the CEO, Lily was very much involved in her company's matters, as she was still the one making big decisions such as… expanding the company into the petroleum industry.

This was another big step that the company was taking since Lily became its CEO. This would not only make them one of the biggest conglomerates in Asia but in Europe as well. Moreover, this would also open a whole lot of opportunities for the future of the Facci Group. 

Today, a meeting about the acquisition of a petroleum company that was focused on exploration and production of petrol was going to be held. To everyone else in the business industry, this was a very huge move from the Facci Group. After all, explorations, drilling and fuel production would cost billions if not trillions of dollars.

Even a huge company could not just decide to delve into something like this if they are not very confident with their research,skills and leadership.

"This is not something that we can just decide overnight." Lily uttered as she continued to read the statistics.

"We don't have to decide about it right now." Mr. Rossi smiled. "This is why I asked them to give us at least a month to decide if we will go through with the acquisition." Lily nodded. The company that they were planning to acquire was not on the verge of bankruptcy, it was the other way around.

The company was doing very well. But the scope of their exploration was limited due to lack of funding. Now, they could easily get a loan from banks. However… they chose to have someone like Lily buy the company instead.

Which was not a bad deal considering that Lily's Facci Group was a super power in Europe. Moreover, Lily's claws were slowly making their way through Asia. The CEO of the Petroleum Company was banking on this fact. They wanted to take advantage of Lily's influence which would also increase their scale of their exploration in the oceans in the foreseeable future.

The thing was… Lily was hesitant about going through with the acquisition. It wasn't due to the fact that she was afraid to gamble. No. It was just that this is such a big project that she felt the need to be involved in the whole process. However, this would not be possible as she will give birth in a few months.

To Lily, The Facci Group was just like her child. She had spent so much time and effort to develop the company. Letting someone else take the lead on such a huge project was a very difficult thing for her. 

"Yuanfeng will arrive soon as he is almost done with his business in the Arison Family. I hope we can use his expertise to further deepen our research about branching out into the petroleum industry." Mr. Rossi added. "He is a very talented man, Lily. "

"I know." Lily nodded. The thought of her brother made her feel a bit at ease. Her brother was really smart but he lacked experience with the schemes and tricks used in the industry. He needed to learn…. And he needed to learn from the best. In short… Qin Yuanfeng needed to learn from her.
