The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

However, he just lightly said, "Zhou Ting, don’t worry yet, things haven’t reached the worst point."

Zhou Ting slowly came to her senses from the frenzy: "Forget it, forget it... My dad says there’s still hope for the company, and I believe him... Xiaojue, you’ve worked hard this time, I’ll show these documents to my dad first... Alright, I’ll leave now."

"Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need, you just got back and must be tired, take some rest first."

It wasn’t until the door was completely closed that Huang Xiaojue unclenched his sweaty palms.

Just as he was about to dial his mother’s number, his phone rang, and it was his mother’s voice: "Xiaojue... son... we’re at the resort, where are you?"

He sighed in relief.

"It’s all Yang Wei’s fault, he didn’t explain clearly, just said it would be a surprise, it was almost like a kidnapping, scared me to death... but it turns out, he just brought us to the resort, said Zhou Ting arranged it..."

His mother was all smiles: "Son, this resort is beautiful, practically a paradise. We didn’t even know there was such a place in the city. You and Zhou Ting should come quickly..."

Huang Xiaojue forced himself to remain calm: "You all have fun for a few days, I’ll join you as soon as I can."

"Alright, we’ll wait for you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaojue stood up and walked to the window. From here, he could see a narrow and long river, with both banks lined with small golden flowers, while some purple wisterias spiraled around big trees, creating an incredibly enchanting scene. Especially those tall trees with red flowers, he had never figured out what species they were over the years.

In this place lived all the city’s tycoons.

In this small place, a massive business struggle had already begun.

A call from an unfamiliar number.

He glanced at the number and answered.

"Hello..."

Hearing his voice, the other party stayed silent for a while, then hung up.

He looked at the number again and realized with a chill that it was Yan Xixi calling. Over the past two years, she had almost never contacted him. This call was evidently made by a stranger on her behalf, just hearing this assured him she was safe, and the call was immediately disconnected.

For a long moment, he stared at his phone, his parents’ safety, but in his heart, he felt no relief, instead, like a fish on a chopping board.

This time, they managed to scrape by, but what about next time??

For now, they won’t tear faces, but after this stage is over, who knows?

Even Wan Donglin was advancing rapidly.

Along the way, he kept his eyes shut tight, his temples throbbing to the point of bursting.

It was really too fast, so fast he was caught off guard.

Old Zhang, at the crucial moment, delivered a lethal blow.

In recent years, the other party had been extremely high-profile, leading the company to rapid advances, with significant achievements in new product development, and even before the incident, he gave an interview to the financial world. The general consensus outside was that barring any accident, the company he led was sure to win the latest big project.

Before this, Old Zhang had shown no reaction, watching the company’s stock plummet without any concern, as if he didn’t mind.

Wan Donglin and others had been pondering when he would make his move, unexpectedly, the situation changed overnight.

He understood that both sides’ forces were rapidly gathering at this moment. Old Zhou would not just sit idly by. He had been operating in business for many years in this medium-sized city, with many acquaintances in the market; as for Old Zhang, since he dared to act this way, it was evident he had already bet everything.
