Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1067: Three Months Have Passed (4)

Zhang Sanfeng bowed his head in thought: "They should actually be clear in their hearts that once Xiao Jianming steps down, anyone who takes over Xiao Jianming’s position will do the same."

"They don’t want this kind of result, surely hoping Xiao Jianming can manipulate the new successor behind the scenes to maintain their original interests. The better way is to have a puppet, a helpless Adou, take that position."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Dapeng’s eyes rolled.

Zhang Sanfeng noticed his expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just remembered what second brother said, that those Han and Kang chairs are just some jumping grasshoppers, not nearly as troublesome as those with his dad." Zhan Dapeng said, "No wonder second brother always disdains those who claim to support him for succession from his father’s camp. Clearly, second brother has already grasped their intentions."

Those originally supporting Xiao Jianming to let Xiao Yebai, this wastrel, ascend were undoubtedly banking on Xiao Yebai’s incompetence. These people’s real schemes are indeed more sinister, more covert than those like Chairman Kang who seek to usurp power.

"This is called the fear of villains surpasses that of gentlemen." Jia Baomo, who came from acting, quoted a line.

"I’ve heard they all ran to second brother’s father crying poor now." Zhan Dapeng said.

"Second brother’s father surely wouldn’t fail to see through such schemes." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"What will he do? Come forward to support sister-in-law? I don’t think so." Zhan Dapeng shook his head. Asking that old crocodile to lose face and support his former enemy was indeed somewhat naive wishful thinking.

"No need."

"What?"

"I said sister-in-law also believes there’s no need, no need for anyone to step forward and support her."

Zhan Dapeng and Jia Baomo felt confused.

"If I were sister-in-law, let those people stir up trouble as they wish; after all, time will fade everything. Sister-in-law now has her own independent team in the company to support Changda’s current endeavors. Someone will invariably seize this good opportunity to rush out, curry favor with the new master and attempt to surpass. Such is the complexity of human nature. Sister-in-law has realized this. So she simply works from home."

Zhan Dapeng and Jia Baomo were undoubtedly puzzled, thinking she needed to stay home for prenatal care—turns out her motives weren’t that simple?

"That piece of land—" Zhan Dapeng also heard that news.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Just now, I checked a bit. The official auction time for that piece of land might take a while, not so soon. The opposite party was in a rush to inform sister-in-law, which undeniably suggests an intention for sister-in-law to act sooner rather than later."

Overall, this matter quickly reminded them of that group of people, who are watching like tigers, intending to make a comeback.

"This was done too obviously." This is Zhan Dapeng’s thought.

Jia Baomo also felt the same.

That group of people always liked to act unexpectedly, why are they changing their style now?

"So, it might not be that group who did it." Zhang Sanfeng said.

If not the black hats, then who?

The issue is whether Chairman Zhan’s appearance was intended to curry favor with Gu Nuan—nonetheless, this is a bit strange and puzzling.

"What should we do now?" Zhan Dapeng asked.

"Sister-in-law remains inactive and so do we, just waiting." Zhang Sanfeng’s voice, accompanied by the wind that swept out of the room as the butler opened the door, blew outside.
