Before getting on the elevator, Shen Antu saw Diao Yongzhou and Fan Hong chasing Shi Xiaodong to the office upstairs.
In the elevator, Tang Jun conscientiously reported his work schedule for the day to Shen Antu. Since he was more than an hour late this morning, some of his work had been pushed to the back.
Shen Antu checked the time on his phone: "The department report should be moved up to 12:30 noon. I will ask Wu He to come and see me in the afternoon. Also, is Zheng Wei here?"
Tang Jun replied: "Yes, I am waiting in your office."
In the chairman's office, Zheng Wei was sitting on the sofa, waiting anxiously. He had already finished the cup of tea in front of him, leaving only a few leaves stuck to the wall of the cup. When Shen Antu pushed open the door of the office and strode in, he stood up suddenly like a frightened bird: "Director Shen..."
Shen Antu had someone look for him once a week ago, but he was still hungover and couldn't speak clearly, so Shen Antu had to give up. Later, Zheng Wei took the initiative to contact Shen Antu, and after looking for him several times, Shen Antu finally had time to meet him.
Zheng Wei's facial features are not outstanding, but he is very energetic. He served in the army for two years. He could have stayed in the army forever, but unfortunately he was seriously injured in a training session and had to retire and go home. Then his family funded him to open the Yunyi Company, and not long after that he married Wu Kangya and lived a very comfortable life.
But after Shen Antu's accident, many customers were unwilling to use Yunyi's aircraft anymore. Coupled with various public opinions, Yunyi went bankrupt within a month.
Zheng Wei is not without ambition, but if he wants to regroup and start the company again, he must get past Shen Antu.
"Boss Zheng, please sit down." Shen Antu sat down opposite him and asked Tang Jun to refill his tea.
"Thank you." Zheng Wei sat down, his leg muscles tense, his hands clenched into fists and then placed on his knees, looking very frightened.
Before Shen Antu asked him anything, he explained himself: "The last time you looked for me, I... I was in a bad state during that period. The company went bankrupt, my parents' business was hit hard, and my wife ran away from home. I was in a bad mood, so..."
"It's okay. I understand." Shen Antu took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from under the coffee table and pushed them in front of him. "I am also responsible for this matter. Everyone thinks that my accident was caused by a problem with your company's aircraft and pilots."
Zheng Wei got excited when he mentioned this: "That's not true! The police came to ask several times. The maintenance personnel confirmed that the plane was fine. The pilot... the pilot himself died. What could have been wrong with him? Someone must have tampered with the plane and put the blame on our company!"
"Of course, I trust Mr. Zheng and your company very much, otherwise I wouldn't have worked with you for so long, but the police can't find any evidence now. I think Mr. Zheng should also know that the black box in the plane is missing, and someone must have taken it away. This is the key clue to the entire accident."
Shen Antu helped him get a cigarette. Zheng Wei took it with trembling hands, lit it with a lighter, and after taking a few puffs, his emotions calmed down.
"I know, I also went to the police station to make a record, but please believe me, Mr. Shen, I really didn't do this. I have no grudges against you, and I was counting on Mr. Shen to help me. How could I deliberately harm you?"
Shen Antu didn't say anything. He picked up the lighter on the coffee table and turned it around in his hand. After a moment, he suddenly changed the subject: "You just said that your wife ran away from home?"
Behind the lingering smoke were Zheng Wei's lifeless eyes: "Yes, it's been more than half a month."
Shen Antu raised his eyebrows: "It's been so long, isn't Boss Zheng worried?"
Zheng Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "She is like this whenever we have a fight, and she sent me a message a few days ago saying that she is going abroad to relax and will not be returning to China in the short term."
"Are you sure?" Shen Antu turned on the lighter, and a cluster of blue flames suddenly rose. "The Public Security Bureau did not find any records of Wu Kangya leaving the country."
Zheng Wei was about to ask Shen Antu why he was interested in Wu Kangya, when suddenly an idea came to his mind and he stood up abruptly: "Mr. Shen is saying... But, but she has no reason to hurt you! She won't get any benefit! You are relatives, she..."
"Calm down, Boss Zheng. I'm not here to accuse you of anything. I believe your wife is not the mastermind behind my accident." Shen Antu stood up and pressed Zheng Wei's shoulder to make him sit down again. "But her leaving is too suspicious. To be honest, Yu Keyan met her the day before she ran away from home."
Zheng Wei looked at Shen Antu blankly, the cigarette butt in his hand flickering with a faint spark.
Shen Antu patted his shoulder and said, "Try to contact her. If I'm not mistaken, she should have been controlled by someone. The message was most likely not sent to you by her."
On the other side, Shi Xiaodong's office.
"Brother Dong, why are you angry? The land was just transferred from you to me, so it's still in our hands. What's the difference? Shen Lin just can't stand you taking his position before. Why don't you just avoid him?" Diao Yongzhou sat opposite Shi Xiaodong with a cigarette in his mouth, puffing away nonchalantly.
Seeing that Shi Xiaodong's face looked strange, Fan Hong signaled Diao Yongzhou to shut up with his eyes.
"Brother Dong, Shen Lin is targeting you intentionally. Not only did he take away your business and projects, but he also fired many of our people. Now he is deliberately using this trick to alienate us. This is not just a stumbling block, this is a blatant provocation. Are we just going to put up with it?"
