Even though Yan Jianhong promised to give up 20% of Haihua Precision Mold Factory's shares, President Hua was unwilling to get involved. The other party's strength was simply too terrifying. He didn't want to end up not only losing the 20% but also ruining his own business. President Hua, who had been in the business world for many years, was very shrewd.
However, considering their past harmonious relationship, President Hua still pointed out Yan Jianhong.
"Mr. Yan, I'm truly unable to help you with the matter you've asked me to handle! Let me tell you, the trouble you're facing cannot be resolved locally. You understand what I mean, right?"
Yan Jianhong understood perfectly well that Hua Zong's words were tantamount to making it clear that the problem was unsolvable and that someone was targeting him. Moreover, judging from the meaning behind Hua Zong's words, he was extremely wary, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated to even take back those 20% of the shares.
Yan Jianhong felt as if all his tendons had been pulled out, and his whole body felt weak.
Who on earth is doing this to him? They're trying to kill him! And he has absolutely no ability to resist.
As soon as Ma Yifeng and Sang Weihong arrived at work, they went separately to find out about Ban Pei's situation. This was because their good friend Huang Xiaochuan had asked them to do this, so the couple took it very seriously.
Sang Weihong worked in the school's personnel administration department, and she quickly found Ban Pei's personnel file.
Judging from the materials, Ban Pei's family should be quite well-off. His hometown is Changzhou, his mother runs a business there, and his father works at a university in Changzhou. They can be considered a family of scholars!
He holds a PhD in Economics from Shanghai University, possesses strong academic abilities, and has published several papers in well-known journals. Overall, he is a capable person.
Ma Yifeng wasn't idle either. After all, they were in the same college, and he quickly obtained a lot of information and opinions about Ban Pei from his other colleagues.
In general, Ban Pei has no messy romantic entanglements, has a gentle personality, and is also quite handsome.
During their lunch break at school, Ma Yifeng and Sang Weihong combined the information they had gathered from both sides.
Ma Yifeng asked Sang Weihong, "Xiao Chuan asked us to inquire about Ban Pei. Is he going to act as a matchmaker for someone? Or is he looking for a future son-in-law for someone?"
Ma Yifeng pondered to himself, and then laughed: "No! I can't tell him this so easily; he has to treat me."
Sang Weihong glared at Ma Yifeng: "You! You're already an associate professor, and you still act so unserious. When are you going to improve?"
Ma Yifeng retorted confidently, "Hey, Xiao Chuan isn't just anyone. Do you see me living like that with anyone else?"
As they were talking, they pulled out their phones.
After the call connected, Ma Yifeng cleared his throat in a mock manner and said into the phone, "Xiao Chuan, about that thing you asked me to inquire about, I did find out! But..."
Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaochuan on the other end of the phone immediately saw through Ma Yifeng's intentions and cursed loudly, "Old Ma, you son of a bitch! I just asked you to inquire about this little thing, and you're already thinking of extorting me? You're dreaming! Tell me right now."
Sang Weihong heard everything clearly from the side. Although she was married to Ma Yifeng, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ma Yifeng immediately felt utterly humiliated, his face turning a deep shade of liver red.
Joking aside, Ma Yifeng still told Huang Xiaochuan about what he and Sang Weihong had found out over the phone.
"This Ban Pei is quite good. She has a PhD from a prestigious university and is currently working as a teaching assistant at our school. However, this is definitely temporary. She will be promoted to lecturer soon."
Ma Yifeng told Huang Xiaochuan in detail about Ban Pei's family situation, educational background, work situation, and what his school colleagues thought of him.
Finally, Ma Yifeng told Huang Xiaochuan on the phone, "Overall, this Ban Pei is pretty good!"
Then, with a gossipy air, he asked, "Xiao Chuan, who are you playing matchmaker for? Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone!"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't respond to his comment at all, but instead said, "Old Ma, thanks! You and your husband discuss what to eat and where to eat. Just let me know later. It's been a while since I've seen you two and chatted."
Suddenly, Huang Xiaochuan remembered something and added, "Oh right, invite An Cheng and Lao Jiao along too. Just think of them as the ones who benefited from your success. I'll make the arrangements, and we can all get together and have a good chat."
Ma Yifeng happily agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Sang Weihong with a smug look on his face, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? You have to believe in your husband's abilities!"
Sang Weihong retorted sarcastically, "Fine, you talk about ability, huh? If you can finish your homework in more than five minutes every night, then I'll consider you an capable man."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yifeng's face turned green and he wilted. However, he still couldn't help but look around nervously. Fortunately, no one was around. If someone had overheard, his reputation would have been ruined.
Huang Xiaochuan originally planned to tell Huang Erhe over the phone, but after thinking about it, he asked Gao Song to arrange a car to take him to Huang Erhe's workplace. Firstly, he had been in the office all morning and was feeling tired and bored. Secondly, it was closer to Huang Erhe's workplace in Puxi by crossing the Huangpu River through the tunnel. So Huang Xiaochuan decided to tell Huang Erhe in person.
Upon learning that his younger brother had arrived at the entrance of his workplace, Huang Erhe personally went to the gate to greet him and arranged for the gatekeeper to let his brother's three cars into the factory area. After the two brothers met, Huang Erhe invited Huang Xiaochuan to sit in his office.
"Come on, Xiao Chuan, let's go sit in my office!"
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand and pointed to a rest area in the factory area, saying, "No, we don't have much to say. Let's sit down over there and talk."
Huang Erhe glanced at it and nodded in agreement.
After the two brothers sat down, Huang Xiaochuan said to Huang Erhe, "Second brother, I've found out about what you asked me to inquire about."
Upon seeing this, Huang Erhe immediately put on a serious listening posture, pricking up his ears.
"That teacher named Ban Pei is indeed a very nice person. He doesn't have any bad habits or vices. He's from Changzhou, which is considered a scholarly family. His father is a university teacher, and his mother is a businesswoman in the area. They are quite well-off. He himself is a PhD graduate from Shanghai University. He's quite capable and has published many papers. I heard he's also quite handsome."
After listening, Huang Erhe nodded. It did sound quite good, but he immediately became puzzled. How could a PhD like him be interested in his sister-in-law? The difference in their educational backgrounds was too great. Although his sister-in-law was quite attractive, he was, after all, a PhD. Could he be a looks-obsessed person?
Huang Erhe said worriedly, "A PhD? That's a very high level of education, isn't it? It seems quite different from your second sister-in-law's younger sister."
Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Leave this to your sister-in-law and mother-in-law to think about!"
Huang Erhe laughed: "Indeed! I'll tell your second sister-in-law later and see what they say. This is all I'll do; the rest is none of my business."
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his second brother's work environment before leaving.
