In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 122: Beginning to Want to Give Up on Xie Linchuan
Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Beginning to Want to Give Up on Xie Linchuan
"Xie Linchuan, there’s something you might not have figured out yet," Xu Jinzhi said.
Xie Linchuan turned to look at Xu Jinzhi, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his expression very serious.
Yet Xu Jinzhi didn’t care at all. After a brief silence, she continued, "The Xu Family and the Xie Family collaborated, thinking of joining forces to expand new business territories for each other."
"But now you keep telling me that the cooperation between the Xu Group and the Xie Group is not a wise decision."
"You can’t possibly be naive enough to think that just because I married Xie Yanchuan, I am tied to the Xie Group, right?"
Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh a little, "You know, Xie Yanchuan is not the heir to the Xie Group. Ultimately, the Xie Group has nothing to do with me."
The conference room fell silent; those from the Xu Group were already accustomed to Xu Jinzhi’s sudden outbursts during work, but those from the Xie Group were not used to working with Xu Jinzhi.
They were somewhat surprised by Xu Jinzhi’s attitude, but chose to remain silent on the matter to avoid getting involved.
"So, if you can’t give me a satisfactory answer this time, I believe this will be our last collaboration."
After finishing her statement, Xu Jinzhi stood up, straightened her clothes a bit, and said nonchalantly, "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now. As for..."
Xu Jinzhi turned to look at Liang Yu, who was staring at her in shock; she originally intended to say something more but chose not to.
Thus, she left the conference room without saying anything further. The people from the Xu Group quickly stood up and followed her.
It was only after the Xu Group had left that Xie Linchuan, left with his group, sternly turned to Liang Yu.
Liang Yu instinctively started to explain, "Mr. Xie, indeed our family didn’t handle this matter well..."
Aside from Liang Shiyu who pursued a career in the entertainment industry, the rest of the Liang Family were ordinary people; Liang Shiyu’s parents were relatively successful, running a small building materials company.
Due to Liang Shiyu’s connection with Xie Linchuan, Liang Yu was arranged to work at the Xie Group – not randomly, as he had graduated from a reputable university.
However, if it were a standard recruitment process, Liang Yu wouldn’t have ended up working so closely with Xie Linchuan so easily,
It was all because of Xie Linchuan’s arrangements that he could do so smoothly.
This was something everyone in Xie Linchuan’s team was well aware of.
Liang Yu’s behavior during this time wasn’t strictly rule-abiding, but neither was it excessively out of line, so everyone had been tolerant.
Regarding the building materials issue, it was Liang Yu who took it upon himself, arguing that since the Liang Family also dealt in building materials and they happened to be in need, why not cooperate with the Liang Family?
Xie Linchuan initially had some reservations, but with Liang Yu’s reassurances of no problems, Xie Linchuan agreed. Liang Yu consistently reported no issues, so Xie Linchuan didn’t follow up.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yu still hadn’t resolved it!
Between them, Xie Linchuan had overestimated the Liang Family’s capabilities, while the Liang Family had underestimated the scale of the project.
What happened later in the conference room Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t know, but Xie Suian did; he was fully aware of everything that had happened, including Xu Jinzhi’s remarks.
Xie Suian furrowed his brows. He knew Xu Jinzhi’s way of handling work – she never minced her words.
He knew that if they couldn’t provide her with a satisfactory response, this would indeed be the last collaboration between the two families.
Xie Suian sat alone in his office for a long time before finally pressing the intercom button to summon his assistant.

The next day.
Xu Jinzhi went to the company, and before she could start working, she learned from Assistant Wen that Xie Linchuan had been demoted.
"Demoted?" Xu Jinzhi was somewhat puzzled.
Assistant Wen then explained.
It turned out that Xie Linchuan had gone from General Manager to Deputy General Manager, while the original Deputy General Manager temporarily took over as General Manager. The Phase II project around the island was also to be managed by the temporary General Manager.
Regarding this news, whether or not one was an employee of the Xie Group, everyone was very surprised.
Even though they were surprised, they didn’t think much of it and believed that Xie Linchuan must have done something wrong to displease Xie Suian.
But it was not a big deal, Xie Linchuan was the heir. One day, Xie Linchuan would return to the position of General Manager, and after that, he would become Chairman Xie.
"Really interesting." However, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing; she didn’t share that view.
Xie Suian indeed had high hopes for Xie Linchuan, his first child, whom he personally tutored from a young age, leading him to take this well-considered step.
In her previous life, it was another five years before Xie Linchuan got back together with Liang Shiyu. By then, he had completely disappointed her; in shock and anger, he collapsed and was taken to the hospital.
What followed was the death of Xie Yanchuan. In fact, not only Xu Jinzhi resented Liang Shiyu and Xie Linchuan for that incident, but Xie Suian did as well.
Previously, Xie Suian indeed neglected Xie Yanchuan, but as people age, they inevitably reflect on the past and hope to make amends.
Xie Yanchuan was the child that Xie Suian wanted to make amends with, but he died in a car accident.
Moreover, Xie Yanchuan could have avoided that accident.
Later, when Xie Linchuan married Liang Shiyu successfully, it was around that time that Xie Suian gradually started giving up on Xie Linchuan.
But now, Xu Jinzhi was still somewhat surprised; after all, in her previous life, her disappointment in Xie Linchuan was due to a convergence of many reasons.
Moreover, at that time, she had already given birth to Tuantuan, and Xie Suian was very fond of Tuantuan. It might sound harsh, but though Xie Linchuan was the eldest son of the Xie Family, Tuantuan was also the eldest grandson of the Xie Family.
Thus, Xie Suian giving up on Xie Linchuan was also because he had more options.
But now it was different. Xie Suian already seemed to be showing signs of giving up on Xie Linchuan at this time; what was going on?
Xu Jinzhi was somewhat puzzled and perplexed, but her mood was quite good, after all, her own objectives had also been largely achieved.
On the other side.
Xie Linchuan was mentally prepared, yet not quite prepared for his sudden demotion.
Because Xie Linchuan thought that at most, he would just be scolded by his father, although being scolded was very humiliating for him.
But he did not expect to be demoted.
When he learned of this news, Xie Linchuan did not even dare go to his father for an explanation and could only accept it.
As for matters related to the Liang Family, Xie Linchuan had even less courage to say anything more.
