Chapter 226: The President’s Wife

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What? Song Xi is the president’s wife?” Xu Lan asked shockingly.

“… Our company is a subsidiary of Zhao Group Corporation. The president often brought along his fiancée during inspections, that’s why we referred to her as the president’s wife in private.”

The manager had an obvious shift in attitude towards Xu Lan after hearing that he was acquainted with Song Xi, where he answered all of his questions patiently.

“Zhao Group Corporation owns many other subsidiary companies?” Xu Lan asked while he set up the recorder.

“Yes, they do. The Zhao Group invested in many ventures, including real estates, hotels, and sports complexes. Each venture is managed by their corresponding companies.” The manager was skeptical if Xu Lan was friends with the president since he was unaware of such things.

“May I ask how long has this company been established?” Xu Lan asked excitedly. He shifted forwards and anchored his hands on both of the seats as if he was very interested in the news and gossip.

“Our company was only established two years ago, which is relatively late if you compare it to other companies that dabble in real estates and stock investments.”

“Do you know when did the Zhao Group Corporation started gaining a stable footing in the corporate world? I have never heard of them before this?” Xu Lan led him on.

“This is beyond the scope of my knowledge. I was working under Meng De Media until two years ago before it was acquired by Zhao Group. That’s when I came to know about it,” the manager answered.

Bai Wu focused on the photo album in his cell phone. He did not disturb Xu Lan when he saw him asking questions with such enthusiasm.

He had a few pictures of him taken when the manager brought him around to familiarize the environment today. Bai Wu chose a few good-looking ones and requested the photographer to send it to him. He wanted to show Xu Lan how he looked like while he was working.

Xu Lan felt a little disappointed after hearing the manager’s answer. He remained disgruntled and uninterested throughout the journey.

“The Zhao Group Corporation owned so many properties, it must be the accumulation of the hard work of several generations,” Xu Lan said dejectedly after letting out a sigh.

“Not true, the Zhao Group Corporation only started to flourish in the corporate world a few years ago. I heard that it began to bloom after the new president took over,” the manager said after adjusting his glasses.

Xu Lan was busy chatting away, asking about matters related to Song Xi and the company. Bai Wu presented his cell phone to Xu Lan awkwardly. It was a vibrant and energetic series of sports photos.

“Hmm, it looks good. Can you send me to the police station?” Xu Lan asked the manager after patting Bai Wu’s head.

“Xu Lan! We’re going back to eat now. I haven’t eaten anything since morning,” Bai Wu went off in a fit of pique when he saw Xu Lan remained so focused on the case.

“F*ck! Why didn’t you eat? Manager, please stop at the side,” Xu Lan Smacked Bai Wu on his head and scolded worriedly.

The manager was not interested to watch these two fooling around. He let them down shortly after saying a few words. Xu Lan gave a call to Xiao Feng and Wang Meng. This was supposed to be a proper date but it ended up being another case discussion session. Shortly after, Wang Hao and Xiao Zhang arrived. Coincidentally, Meng Chengjun brought Hu Cheng to dine in at the same place, where they joined in together with the bunch.

Bai Wu looked so gloomy that it was as if his face was covered in a layer of ash, but he kept his temper under control.

“This 928 case has been on the desk for such a long time, I believe it already became a worry in everyone’s mind. Since it’s such a rare occasion that we’re all here, let’s put it into perspective,” Xiao Feng took the lead as the group leader of the task force.

“Fair enough. There are some aspects of the case that I am still uncertain with since I just joined. This is a great opportunity for us to gather and interact with each other,” Hu Cheng said after gulping down a mouthful of alcohol.

“In order to save time, we will pass on the past events. We will focus on the newly discovered leads!” These were the exact words that Xu Lan intended to refute Hu Cheng, but Wang Meng said it out first. Xiao Feng glared at him shortly after he sat down. He was puzzled as he had no idea what he said wrongly.

“Pfft, haha. Great, I have some news,” Xu Lan laughed heartily while he chose a piece of tender beef slice and put it into Bai Wu’s bowl.
