Li handed the tablet to Qu Xiao with an extremely unwilling expression.
Qu Xiao wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. She was exceptionally focused as she gently swiped the screen and immediately circled two projects that were in progress.
Shang Yan swept his eyes over them and his eyes lit up slightly as he asked her why.
Qu Xiao blinked her eyes slightly and analyzed the problems that the Shang Group encountered in a clear and orderly manner.
"The project is supported by the government and has a good future. However, the enterprises in charge of the execution of the project at this stage are not qualified. They managed to get the project, but they never thought that there would be so many problems in the progression."
"The project has been shelved for too long and there are many problems left behind. The amount of money that needs to be paid out is also very large."
"If the Shang Group wants to take over, the board of directors will definitely have objections. They will feel that the investment is not proportional to the return, and reject it."
Li's mouth was agape in shock. He could not help but ask, "How did you know?"
These secrets belonged to the Shang Group. Other than Shang Yan, the administrative assistant, and the shareholders, no one else knew!
Qu Xiao poked at the information column on the screen, looked up at Shang Yan, and said, "If the Qu family wants to compete with the Shang Group, we'll give this project to them."
"In the early stages of the project, the Qu family will have to invest a large sum of money. When the bottomless pit is half filled, they won't have sufficient cash flow. When they have to hand over the project, the Shang Group can use the lowest investment ratio to get the project, or even take the opportunity to buy over the Qu Group."
Qu Xiao's eyes flickered with an evil light. The corners of her mouth curved slightly as she waited for Shang Yan's reply.
Shang Yan lowered his eyes and smiled lightly. He shook his head and poked his temple with his hand.
Li thought for a long time in a daze. He finally understood Qu Xiao's intention.
Li said with a sudden realization, "Madam, you want to scam the Qu family?"
"I thought you wanted the Shang Group to cede the profits to please the Qu family."
After Li finished speaking, two pairs of cold gazes fell on him at the same time. He shrunk his neck in guilt.
Qu Xiao frowned and asked in return, "Why would I help others steal from my own husband? Do I look very stupid?"
Li stared at the tip of his toes silently. He thought about how Qu Xiao had been helping Ling Chi all these years but did not dare to say it out loud.
Qu Xiao could see through his inner thoughts, but the stupid things were all done by the original owner and had nothing to do with her!
Shang Yan's eyes stared deeply at Qu Xiao. Her change was so shocking.
He had never realized before that she actually had a business mind and an excellent ability to analyze things.
Shang Yan's brows relaxed as he chuckled. "You and the Qu family have just fallen out. If you rashly agree to their proposal, they will definitely have some suspicions and won't easily fall into the trap you've dug."
Qu Xiao cupped her face with one hand. "I have my own ways!"
...
At the Shang Group's headquarters, the sound of an intense argument came from the CEO's office.
All the employees pricked up their ears, wanting to eavesdrop on the situation inside. Qu Xiao's sharp and acerbic voice came from the open door, "Why did you disable my credit card? When I married you, you clearly said that you wouldn't mind whatever I did!"
"You lied to me, I want to divorce you!"
A glass container fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Shang Yan frowned when he heard the word "divorce". He peeled a grape and stuffed it into her mouth with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
Qu Xiao sensed his displeasure and hurriedly rubbed his shoulder in a friendly manner. She shook his arm slightly and said in an extremely soft voice, "You have to act more realistically. Otherwise, the people outside will definitely not believe it!"
Li silently turned around and stared at a glass. He resigned himself to his fate and threw the glass on the ground, to make it seem like the two of them were arguing.
As Qu Xiao had expected, the news spread quickly. It spread from within the Shang group to the entire financial world, including the Qu family.
When Mr. Qu received the news, he did not even have time to laugh before Qu Xiao gave him a call.
When the call was picked up, Qu Xiao's voice trembled. She suppressed her sobs and said, "I promise I will help you get the Shang Group's confidential documents. But you have to agree to a few conditions of mine!"
Mr. Qu felt as if he had been struck by a stroke of good luck, and he immediately became pleased with himself.
He then exchanged a few words with Qu Xiao, asking her to come to the villa to discuss specific details.
As Qu Qi listened to their conversation, she was a little suspicious. She reminded Mr. Qu to be careful and to not let Qu Xiao and Shang Yan join forces to deceive him.
Mr. Qu waved his hand, his face full of arrogance as he said, "Shang Yan must have abandoned Qu Xiao, and now they're on bad terms!"
"Don't worry. Now it's our turn to make money!"
