A week later, the law firm moved to an office building in the new development area. It was more spacious than before, but it was a little farther from the city.
After Pei Donglai came back, Lin Xiaojie was very happy. She went home from work early every day to cook as before. But unfortunately, Lin Xiaojie's physical recovery was still not ideal and she still couldn't have a child. This was the last straw that broke her back.
In Jiangcheng, with Chen Jian's help, Lin Xiaojie's relationship became better and better, her background became stronger and stronger, and she became a prominent figure in the local area.
In addition to being the chairman of Jiangdong Bank, Lin Xiaojie also invests in real estate, resorts and other projects with Julie. After Pei Donglai left, Lin Xiaojie promoted Fu Donghua to the president of Jiangdong Bank. Fu Donghua was very capable and shouldered a lot of burdens for Lin Xiaojie, so Lin Xiaojie also freed up time to do other things.
In Jiangcheng, there are more than 20 banks, large and small. Currently, Pei Donglai and the others only represent two, and there is still a lot of market space. The management of the law firm has been handed over to Liu Zhongtang, and Chen Yuan is in charge of the case. Therefore, Pei Donglai My job is mainly to run business.
Pei Donglai believes that the company should first focus on the local market in Jiangcheng, and then expand outward according to the situation. After all, the law firm's resources are all local and most of the employees are locals.
After coming back, Lin Xiaojie often introduced some senior bank executives to Pei Donglai, and they became familiar with each other. Pei Donglai's business negotiations went smoothly, and it didn't take long for him to take over the agency business of three banks.
Pei Donglai also knew that many people were just giving Lin Xiaojie face, but even so, Pei Donglai asked everyone to do their best to do a good job in business and accumulate a good reputation.
While discussing business, Pei Donglai started investigating Lin Xiaojie. He believed that Zhang Yutong's recent scratches on his face during the early fights were related to Lin Xiaojie, and that Li Zixuan's incident was also inextricably related to Lin Xiaojie.
Pei Donglai found out that Wu Meixi's name was among the shareholders of Lin Xiaojie's Guyuan Leisure Villa, which proved that Lin Xiaojie and Guo Dehao had business contacts.
Guyuan Leisure Villa is a relatively large villa in Jiangcheng, about 30 kilometers away from the city. The villa has many activities, including dining, accommodation, hot springs, saunas, children's amusement parks, etc. It is three times larger than Wangyue Villa. .
In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Xiaojie registered under Chen Jian's name. Chen Jian held 51%25 of the shares and became the absolute controller of the villa. Julie held 30%25 of the shares and Wu Meixi held 19%25.
During her break, Lin Xiaojie called Pei Donglai to come to the villa to rest. Sometimes she would also invite some leaders to come here for vacation.
Once, Pei Donglai saw Wu Meixi in the villa. After the other party saw Pei Donglai, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, which made Pei Donglai feel a little confused.
The next day, Pei Donglai sent Wu Meixi a message, and the other party responded quickly. Pei Donglai asked Wu Meixi to come out and meet at Wangyue Villa.
"Mr. Pei, I'm sorry that day, I don't want others to gossip, so..."
"Oh it's all right".
According to Wu Meixi, the villa was invested by Guo Dehao. Guo Dehao and Lin Xiaojie not only invested in the villa together, but also invested in jewelry stores in other provinces.
Wu Meixi said that she was just taking advantage of her name, and Guo Dehao would not give her any dividends.
"Meixi, is Guo Dehao still in Lijiang now?"
"Well, he still has business in Lijiang. He only comes back when he has something to do. Sometimes he doesn't go home when he comes back. Well, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I'll be quiet, so I don't have to serve his parents while enduring his beatings and scoldings," Wu Meixi sighed. .
According to Wu Meixi, the last time she saw Guo Dehao and a woman taking a hot spring bath together at the villa, after the two met, Wu Meixi took the initiative to say hello to Guo Dehao, and the woman asked Guo Dehao who Wu Meixi was. Dehao then said that Wu Meixi was his nanny.
"He can have fun as he likes. Instead, I hope that one day he will find someone he loves and divorce me, so that I will be free," Wu Meixi said helplessly.
"Meixi, why don't you fight for yourself?" Pei Donglai felt worthless for the other party.
"What can I fight for? Can I fight for him to come back to me? I didn't have any feelings for him in the first place. At the beginning, I foolishly thought that after getting married, we could slowly develop feelings. But I was too naive. Guo Dehao has already said It’s broken to the core and beyond redemption.”
"You've been with him for so long, haven't you ever thought about asking for some compensation?"
"When we got married, his family gave him a gift of 5 million yuan, and my family also gave me a lot of dowry. But Guo Dehao first thought that my family was just worried about his family's money. When I filed for divorce with him, he even asked me to How can I be compensated?"
The two chatted for a long time, and Pei Donglai learned from the chat that Guo Dehao and Lin Xiaojie had invested in many businesses together. It was probably Lin Xiaojie's idea that Guo Dehao was willing to repay the loan from Lijiang Hotel.
As for who killed Zhang Yutong, Wu Meixi didn't know, but it could be inferred that it was Lin Xiaojie. Although Guo Dehao hated Zhang Yutong, it could be heard from Wu Meixi's words that Guo Dehao still had a glimmer of hope for Zhang Yutong. After all, he Before he got it, he couldn't possibly ask someone to stab Zhang Yutong in the face.
With the help of Chen Jian and Cao Geqing, Lin Xiaojie's business was booming and she was making waves in Jiangcheng. Although Pei Donglai could not confront her head-on, he could only endure it and look for opportunities.
In the industry, Lin Xiaojie was still on guard against Wu Jing. Although Lin Xiaojie did not attack Wu Jing after Pei Donglai left, Lin Xiaojie also knew that Wu Jing was from the old chairman and had to be on guard. Therefore, Wu Jing gradually became more and more popular in the industry. Being marginalized, although he is still the vice president of Jiangdong Bank, he has no real power.
"Donglai, how can you prove that Cao Geqing and Lin Xiaojie are siblings?" Li Zixuan had been in Jiangcheng for a while, but things had not progressed, and she became a little impatient.
"Recognition of relatives by shedding blood," Bao Desheng said.
"Hair is okay," Pei Donglai said.
"Even if I can get Lin Xiaojie's hair, I can't get Cao Geqing's hair," Li Zixuan said.
"President Pei, don't we have two brothers in our law firm in Shenzhen to help Chen Jian collect payment? How about I go to Shenzhen to help and investigate this matter," Bao Desheng said.
Pei Donglai had previously thought of letting Bao Desheng go to Shenzhen, and he was indeed a more suitable candidate, but now that Wu Jing was pregnant, Pei Donglai couldn't bear to let him go.
"No, you can only stay in Jiangcheng now." Pei Donglai rejected Bao Desheng's request.
"It's okay, let him go. I can move easily now and don't need him by my side. Besides, there are Aunt Liu and the eldest lady at home," Wu Jing said.
"You can go, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just ask Gardenia to get some hair from Cao Geqing.
