Everyone nodded in agreement, with Xu Donghe's status and position, how could he possibly renege?
"Okay, then just make sure it's done early. Plus, you need to introduce my friend to the team for IPO inspections, in your name," Hao Jian said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Okay, okay, okay, you little brat, it feels like I owed you in my last life," Xu Donghe grumbled, his aged face darkening a bit.
"And one more thing, you should stop cooperating with this fool. I don't think much of him, and his company couldn't be much better," Hao Jian remarked, glancing at Zhou Zixiong.
Zhou Zixiong had just tried to trip up Shu Ya, and Hao Jian had heard it all at the doorway; he didn't have a shred of fondness for this Fatty.
Zhou Zixiong wanted to mess with him, so why would he be courteous to Zhou Zixiong?
At these words, everyone's faces filled with shock; they could see that Hao Jian was about to take action against Zhou Zixiong.
No wonder he dared to speak to Zhou Zixiong like that earlier, it turns out he had a powerful backer like Xu Donghe behind him.
Zhou Zixiong, hearing this, also looked anxiously at Xu Donghe, his gaze almost pleading. He had just managed to connect with Xu Donghe and secure this hard-earned business deal.
If he could make this deal work, it would double his worth instantly, but if Xu Donghe were to cancel the deal, all his efforts would have been in vain.
At this moment, Su Qin and the other two ministers were also dumbfounded!
Hao Jian actually had such a background? They had intended to use Zhou Zixiong to force Hao Jian out of the company, but now it seemed they might be the ones to be expelled instead.
Especially Su Qin, she should be the most shocked, because if Zhou Zixiong's opportunity was ruined, he would definitely come asking her for an account first.
After all, it was her who had caused Zhou Zixiong to go and pick a fight with Hao Jian. If Zhou Zixiong's business fell through, he surely wouldn't let her off easily.
Su Qin started to regret it. If she had just held back a little at the beginning, maybe none of this would have happened.
Everyone tensely watched Xu Donghe, waiting for his final decision.
Xu Donghe indifferently glanced at Zhou Zixiong and then nodded towards Hao Jian: "Sure."
This decision wasn't difficult for Xu Donghe at all. He wasn't close with Zhou Zixiong, and the business they were doing was small; even if it was canceled midway, it wouldn't affect him much.
But what didn't matter to Xu Donghe didn't mean it didn't matter to Zhou Zixiong. Upon hearing Xu Donghe, Zhou Zixiong was dumbstruck!
"Cancel the cooperation..."
At this moment, Zhou Zixiong felt as if all his strength had been drained, thinking he might as well be dead. Had he just lost a chance at fortune ?
For him and his company, it was a devastating blow!
Seeing Xu Donghe make such a decision, everyone simultaneously had the same thought: this Hao Jian must be Xu Donghe's grandson! No, step-grandson!
If he weren't related to Xu Donghe, how could Xu Donghe be so obedient to him?
And at that moment, Shu Ya was agape with astonishment; the company just made an extra two billion out of thin air? Could pies really fall from the sky?
"Elder Xu, please reconsider, this is really important to me," Zhou Zixiong begged.
He had thrown face out the window at this point, only wanting to preserve this chance to cooperate.
Zhou Zixiong, now devoid of his earlier arrogance, looked at Xu Donghe like a dog that had lost its home, his face full of supplication.
"Don't ask me, this is the wish of my young friend here, you should ask him," Xu Donghe said, not even deigning to look at Zhou Zixiong.
With no other option, Zhou Zixiong could only turn to Hao Jian helplessly:
"Hao... Hao Jian, no, Mr. Hao, I was blind and failed to recognize a great man. I realize my mistake, please, don't hold it against your inferior. Just spare me this once."
This collaboration with Xu Donghe was too important for him; he had already invested a lot of money, and if Xu Donghe terminated their cooperation, he would lose everything.
"Realize your mistake? It's a pity you're realizing it way too late."
Hao Jian sneered, "You think I don't know what you're planning? You just wanted to use me to pressure Shu Ya, just for this alone, I can never forgive you."
How could he possibly tolerate anyone bullying his wife?
Hao Jian looked indifferently at Zhou Zixiong, "This principle is to tell you not to overestimate yourself, and not to underestimate others too much. Being low-key doesn't mean powerless. Some people could take you down as if it were a game. Do you believe that?"
While saying this, Hao Jian's gaze intentionally swept over Su Qin and the others, carrying a hint of threat, making the three of them dare not lift their heads.
If it had been earlier, Zhou Zixiong and the others would have definitely said they didn't believe it!
But now, having seen Hao Jian's capabilities, how could they dare to doubt him?
Zhou Zixiong's face was ashen, and he stood frozen like a statue, now full of regret. So he knew after all, he knew everything.
"Oh, right, there's something interesting I want you to see."
Hao Jian said with a malicious smile, "After you see this, you will regret even more. The best part is yet to come."
After that, Hao Jian plugged a USB drive into the computer in the conference room and played a video.
Immediately, a woman's seductive moan sounded throughout the conference room. On the screen was a man and woman entwined in a passionate embrace, and the explicit scene was right inside the company.
And the female protagonist in the video was the all-too-familiar Su Qin!
Upon seeing the video, Su Qin was so shocked she was speechless. When was this filmed?
The female protagonist was Su Qin, but the male protagonist was not Zhou Zixiong.
"Minister Su, how does it feel? Am I servicing you well?"
Behind Su Qin's tender body, a handsome guy teased her, a newly hired employee in her department, a typical fresh-faced young man, just the type Su Qin liked.
As one would expect, Su Qin slept with him directly.
And the video captured the moment Su Qin and the young employee indulged in a fiery liaison during one such impassioned encounter.
"Of course it feels good, much better than Zhou Zixiong, that useless impotent man. He finishes in less than five minutes every time. Every time I still have to pretend I'm enjoying it, which is really aggrieving. Young guys are so much better."
Su Qin panted, her words intermittent, the scene exceedingly private.
At this sight, Zhou Zixiong's face turned dark as well.
"This is a scene captured by one of our security department's surveillance cameras on the rooftop. Minister Su, I suppose you didn't anticipate there being a camera on the rooftop, did you?
We have Minister Liang's dutiful service to thank for this; if he hadn't requested a camera to be installed on the rooftop a while ago, we wouldn't be able to witness such a tantalizing scene," laughed Hao Jian heartily.
Meanwhile, Shu Ya and some other girls lowered their heads, too embarrassed to watch Su Qin and the man together.
"Zhou Zixiong, you're picking a quarrel with me over such a 'fool', what is your brain filled with? Mashed potatoes?"
Hao Jian rebuked Zhou Zixiong unapologetically, a sneer crossing his lips.
Zhou Zixiong's face was livid, but he dared not lash out at Hao Jian, instead glaring furiously at Su Qin, "How dare you betray me? You whore!"
Having said that, Zhou Zixiong harshly slapped Su Qin across the face!
Su Qin was so frightened she was speaking incoherently, her pretty face completely pale.
