Xu Mei explained in a panic, âZhenguo, I wanted to save some money. I didnât know the market price and thought that two million was enough. I didnât expect hiring a hacker to cost so much money. I⦠I did it all for you!
âActually, itâs okay. Even if we canât get Black Tide, we can get someone else. Didnât Moling leave us a few hackersâ contact details? I donât believe that only Black Tide can help us!â
Qiao Zhenguo calmed down. When he thought about how Black Tide was not showing him any respect, he was also angry. Since that was the case, he would not look for Black Tide again to avoid being humiliated by her.
The two of them picked up their phones and made a few calls. However, whenever the other parties heard that they were Li Cityâs Qiao family, they all hung up rudely.
When they contacted the last person, Qiao Zhenguo could not help but say, âThe offer price for this order is already very high. Why arenât you accepting it?â
The other party snorted in disdain. âMr. Qiao, you offended Black Tide and the entire hacker network. Do you think anyone will accept your order?
âInstead of wasting time on us, why donât you quickly apologize to Black Tide?!â
Qiao Zhenguoâs face was pale. Xu Mei asked anxiously, âZhenguo, whatâs going on? Theyâ¦â
Smack!
Qiao Zhenguo raised his hand and slapped Xu Mei hard.
âYou jinx! Of all the people you could offend, you just had to offend Black Tide! Listen to what youâre saying. Youâre just a shrew in the market! How did I marry a woman like you?! If Yunqiu were still around, she would definitely be able to handle all this trouble!
âPreviously, it was Yunqiu who helped me manage the company, discuss business, meet clients, and do public relations. I didnât have to worry about anything. What do you know? You only know how to spend money to create trouble for me! This time, youâve offended Black Tide. You might offend someone else next time. Do you want to kill your daughter?â
Xu Mei widened her eyes in disbelief. They were filled with sorrow and anger.
Yunqiu? It had been so many years, yet Qiao Zhenguo still remembered that b*tch. He even compared her to that b*tch.
Before Xu Mei could retort, Qiao Zhenguo waved his hand in disgust. âGet lost! I donât want to see you!â
Qiao Zhenguo suppressed his anger and calmed down before calling Black Tide again.
â¦
Qiao Xi looked at the caller ID and waited for a while before answering the call unhurriedly.
âMiss Black Tide, I apologize on behalf of Xu Mei. Iâve already reprimanded her. Sheâs a shrew. I hope you wonât stoop to her level. Rou Rou needs your help. As long as you agree, the price can be negotiated.â
Qiao Zhenguo said obsequiously, but there was silence on the other end.
He waited anxiously. After a long time, he heard a cold laugh.
Qiao Zhenguo was on edge. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Black Tide said slowly, âMr. Qiao, do you think I lack money?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Zhenguoâs heart skipped a beat as he explained in horror, âMiss Black Tide, thatâs not what I meant. As long as you can help Rou Rou, our Qiao family will definitely repay you in our next life!â
âNext life? Mr. Qiao, are you joking with me?â
Qiao Xi mocked. âWhatâs the point of talking about your next life if you owe someone a favor in this lifetime? Not to mention, a wicked family like yours might not have a next life.â
The atmosphere became awkward.
Qiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth. He heard Black Tideâs mockery but did not dare to retort.
Qiao Xi lay on the sofa and turned on the loudspeaker. âPresident Qiao, Iâm a practical person. I donât like empty talk. Do as you deem fit.â
Qiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth. âMiss Black Tide, you wantâ¦â
âThe shares.â Qiao Xi went straight to the point. âSince Xu Mei offended me, I want all the shares in her hands.â
âWhy would Xu Mei haveâ¦â
âYou donât want to give them to me?â Qiao Xiâs voice suddenly became icy-cold as she spoke firmly.
âAfter your first wife died, all the liquid assets fell into Xu Meiâs hands. Xu Mei bought 6% of Qiao Corporationâs shares with this money. Are you trying to deceive me?â
Qiao Zhenguo widened his eyes in disbelief.
Impossible! How did Black Tide know about this? Old Madam Qiao and Moling did not know this secret, so how did Black Tide know?
