Chapter 721: He’s Busy

“Boss, we’ve attempted to investigate this mysterious partner as you’ve instructed. We only managed to discover that this person has been communicating with Zhang Xuming through the Internet. Furthermore, it appears as though this person has never appeared in Beijing. It is said that Zhang Xuming has invited them to come to Beijing several times in the past. However, this person said no. Apparently, it was because of a promise that the person made.”

Zhang Xuming had told this to his subordinates.

After all, Zhang Xuming’s subordinates were also curious about this mysterious partner. They wanted to know why this person never showed up.

“Then did you guys not trace their activity through the Internet?” Wei Qirui asked.

“We attempted to trace their activity. However, we did not manage to find anything useful. This person communicates using a special server. Furthermore, they communicated with Zhang Xuming via private chat software. Therefore, it’s incredibly difficult to track.”

“Hmmm, it seems as though this partner is someone to reckon with,” Wei Qirui said with a smile on his face. “But this is exactly what I want. After all, they will definitely be an incredibly useful ally.”

“But Boss, we can’t even figure out who the other party is. What should we do next?”

It was good that the other person was capable. However, that person was so capable that no one could discover their identity.

“Well, let’s take the initiative and lure the snake out of the hole,” Wei Qirui replied. He came up with a decent idea.

He wanted to be proactive and not passive.

“Boss, what do you mean by that?”

“Let’s discuss a big deal with Xuming Medical Manufacturers. After all, that person manages the company now. There’s no reason for them to not show up. At the very least, we will be able to get in contact with them online.”

Zhu Zimo proposed to invite Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling to come out.

Zhu Zimo had a good reason for this. He wanted to give Wen Ruo an opportunity to apologize to Jian Yiling. It would be best to resolve the conflict between the cousins.

Wen Ruo wanted to object to this. However, she did not know how to argue with Zhu Zimo.

The main reason for this was because she did not tell Zhu Zimo the real reason why there was the conflict between her and Jian Yiling.

Wen Ruo was worried that Jian Yiling would make things difficult for her in front of Zhu Zimo. And thus, she decided to call her grandma. She wanted her grandma to speak to Jian Yiling.

Wen Ruo told her grandma that Zhu Zimo wanted to get to know Master Sheng. In Wen Ruo’s words, Zhu Zimo asked her to get her cousin’s help.

Then, Wen Ruo said to her grandma: “Grandma, Zimo is incredibly important to me. I’m worried that my cousin is too straightforward with her words. I don’t want things to turn out badly.”

The Wen family had an impression of how straightforward Jian Yiling was. Often, Jian Yiling refused to be kind with her words.

When Wen Ruo’s grandma heard this, she felt that her granddaughter’s words were quite reasonable.

After all, if Zhu Zimo got married to Wen Ruo in the future, he and Zhai Yunsheng would basically be brothers-in-law. This relationship could not be cast aside.

And thus, Wen Ruo’s grandma called Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling.

In the call, Grandma Wen tactfully asked Jian Yiling to be kind to her cousin and Zhu Zimo.

When Jian Yiling received the call, she was seated on the balcony with Zhai Yunsheng.

After being asked something, Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng before she answered: “He’s busy.”

As the two of them were very close to each other and the night was incredibly quiet, Zhai Yunsheng could hear the contents of Jian Yiling’s conversation.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng took the phone from Jian Yiling’s hand and decided to talk to Grandma Wen.

Jian Yiling stared at Zhai Yunsheng.

After a while, Zhai Yunsheng finally hung up the phone.

When he hung up the phone, Jian Yiling vaguely heard the sound of Grandma Wen’s happy laughter.

“Why did you say yes?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Well, I planned to take you out on the weekends anyway. I don’t mind having two people tagging along,” Zhai Yunsheng replied with a smile on his face.
