Union Of Enemies

Translated by CatMeme6

"Go!......." A woman's crisp voice echoed in the supermarket accompanied by the sounds of rapidly turning wheels. Laughter echoed in the aisles and the two people were feeling carefree and happy.

Jia Shao's hand patted the wheelchair's armrest and pointed to the front in pleasant surprise. "There is a big sales promotion on beer! Quick, quick......."

Zhen Lang pushed the wheelchair with one hand and trotted towards the tall beer racks. "Drink less or else I will ban your alcohol consumption."

"I know......I know......" She looked at the approaching beer racks with shining eyes and casually threw him a reply.

After her happy return from the hospital, Zhen Lang finally lifted the alcohol ban on her but unable to convince Zhen Lang to let her walk, she was once again confined to the wheelchair and became a lively shopping cart in the huge supermarket.

Resting on her legs, the shopping basket was filled with cans of beer. Jia Shao's eyes were still actively selecting. "Hey, just now in the hospital, were you not afraid of people laughing at you for being so shameless?"

In public, he had said he wanted to be a little white faceand also said in such a bold and confident manner. He was really thick skinned.

"That is the truth......" Zhen Lang shrugged without a care. "All my movable and immovable assets were given to you. If I don't depend on you to support me, then who shall I depend on? Or you think my appearance is not qualified to be a little white face?"

Jia Shao bit her lips and giggled. "She......didn't you see her expression? She really wanted to swallow you in one gulp."

Zhen Lang's chest was heaving, his palm stroked her short hair and his eyes were bright and shining. "I thought you didn't understand what you saw...."

She scoffed. "Since young......the women around you, which one did not have that kind of look on their face.......I had seen too many of them."

"Really?" Zhen Lang bowed his head next to her cheek. "Then.....since young, I had also stared at someone the same way but how come that someone never noticed?"

"Really?" Jia Shao gave a dry smile and played stupid.

But someone was obviously not willing to let her off so easily. "You have never shown your concern about the women that flitted around me. Just now, I thought being greedy for food, you would agree to have a meal with her, or is it......."

Their eyes met, their meaning understood. Peach blossoms fluttered and floated around them.

"Just only that, I am not interested in some scheming people who are not clever enough in their schemes." She said as she held on to the basket and glanced sideways at Zhen Lang. "Don't think that I don't know......you used me as a shield and in actual fact, you are even less interested in her than me."

"After being with me for such a long time, even you have grown smarter." As soon as the words were spoken, Zhen Lang deftly avoided a fist punch aimed at him. Smiling, he picked up a bag of chips and lightly tossed it into the basket she was holding.

The two people fooled around with the wheelchair, relaxed and playfully joked with one another.

Holding numerous big bags and small bags of their purchases, they finally reached home. When the elevator door opened, a person standing by the door gave Jia Shao a shock. "Uncle Xie!......."

Xie Guo Zhang glanced at Jia Shao's leg and she happily raised her bare foot. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

The serious expression on his face relaxed slightly and Xie Guo Zhang lightly pinched her nose. "This girl........"

She giggled in a silly way and said. "Uncle Xie, did you miss me or him?"

Looking at her silly grin, the usually stern man could not help but reveal a smile. "I missed the both of you, okay?"

The door opened and Jia Shao took off a shoe before cheerfully rushing into the house. "I will make a cup of coffee for Uncle Xie."

She disappeared into the kitchen, in a blink of an eye.

Xie Guo Zhang's expression looked a little distorted. Zhen Lang who was carrying the bags, laughed out loud. "The girl's cooking is terrible but her coffee is good."

The stern man secretly let out a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the kitchen. "The girl is not stupid......"

"When did I say she is stupid?" Zhen Lang turned around and put the bags on the table. "People who practice martial arts not only have to study and work hard but also need a keen insight and sharp mind. It will be weird if she is stupid....she is just plain lazy."

Some people are lazy.....lazy to work, lazy to strive and lazy to struggle.

And some people are lazy.....lazy to dispute, lazy to plot, lazy to scheme and Jia Shao belongs to this group.

Xie Guo Zhang nodded and smiled. "Wang Enterprise has been quite anxious recently. Ever since you stopped the signing of the agreement, they have enquired several times when we can continue to proceed."

"They can't wait any longer?" Zhen Lang lifted his eyebrows and gave a sly smile.

A cup of aromatic coffee was held up before his eyes and a pair of beautiful big almond eyes watched him hopefully. Zhen Lang ended his conversation, held up the cup and took a light sip. His relaxed expression showed his satisfaction.

"Girl, accompany me to a place tomorrow."

He sipped on the coffee in his hand, his eyes faintly glowing with anticipation of watching a good show.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Wang Enterprise, one of the largest business group in the city, from their initial setup till today, they had been in the line of clothing, medicine and all businesses within their scope. And recently they had ventured into the construction industry with a new development. At this moment, they were riding on the winds of prosperity and prestige

There were also rumors that after Yunlang Group amassed large areas in C-city, Wang Enterprise entered into joint-venture agreements with Yunlang Group and was almost involved in all of Yunlang Group's construction developments in C-city. It was also rumored that even the recent 5-star hotel cum large scale resort entertainment village construction would also be under them.

But just two months ago, Yunlang Group suddenly stopped the progress of all their contracts with Wang Enterprise, the reason was.......just merely a photo.

They had apologized through the newspapers, made several attempts to communicate with Yunlang Group and even went to their office personally but Yunlang Group never responded. Their agreement had eventually stopped without any signs of progress.

At this time, Yunlang Group Boss's son suddenly made an appearance in Wang Enterprise and speculation was rife that the situation was about to change.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

"Yunlang Boss's son is very handsome......." From the conference room, the secretary walked out on wobbly legs with stars shining in her eyes while holding the document folder in a daze.

"Really? Really?" A group of young women instantly surrounded her, stretched their necks to look towards the conference room.

"Don't harbor any thoughts. He brought along his wife." The secretary sighed. "Although I am married with a child but the guy is really an eye candy."

"He has a wife, ah......" Suddenly sorrowful cries were heard, 'glass' hearts were shattered all over the place.

"But....." The secretary thought hard. "I know I have seen that beautiful woman before. Such a beautiful woman, it is impossible to forget, ah........"

She thought for a while but still could not remember. Suddenly she collected her thoughts and hurriedly prepared to go back to the conference room.

"Manager, let me have all the documents on the joint venture proposal plan. I have to go in urgently. Everyone return to your place......."

The moment when the door opened and closed, everyone's eyes only had time to catch a glimpse and the door to the conference room was shut again, closing them out.

The man had one hand propped against his jaw, his slender fingers tapping the side of his cheek with eyes resting obliquely on the smooth tabletop. In front of him was a thick volume of the joint venture proposal plan and his posture was relaxed as if the plan did not interest him.

In front of him was the Director of the Planning Department who at first, gave an impassioned explanation, then it turned to being enthusiastic and now it was weak. His voice became slower and began to drag and finally, it seemed as though he was just reading from the document.

It was not that he was not capable at capturing people's attention but the Young Master in front of him........the moment he entered the room and sat down, he had not seriously looked at the joint venture proposal plan at all. Either he was looking around blankly with a bored expression or he was playing with the fingers of the beautiful lady beside him. Like just now, the Young Master had yawned in front of everyone in the room and even though how good he was at drawing up a perfectly beautiful visual plan, it would be useless as the Young Master had not even listened to a single word. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"In the resort, we are prepared to plant a total of three thousand trees, out of which one thousand trees will be planted in the hotel's largest green space. Our idea is to give the guests a green, environment-friendly, out of the world resort......."

Reading with his head bowed, unexpectedly two fingers knocked on the tabletop in front of him, interrupting his speech.

He looked up and found the Young Master, who just now looked bored and had closed his eyes as if he was asleep, was now wide awake staring at him with a pair of calm and clear eyes. The Young Master's eyes were flashing with lights and in an instant, he subconsciously looked away unable to meet the piercing eyes of the Young Master.

His handsome smile was clearly harmless but it made people feel fearful from the bottom of their hearts. "The paragraph that you just read......read it again."

"I......" The Director of the Planning Department hastily lowered his head. His eyes tried to locate the small fly-like words on the large page, silently thinking of the words that he had spoken unconsciously from his heart without actually reading.

"You just said one thousand trees in the hotel's largest green space, right?" Zhen Lang casually waved his finger and accurately pointed to the line of words on the paper. "It is written here."

The Director of the Planning Department nodded his head in a daze. "Yes."

Zhen Lang smiled lightly, casually turned back a few pages and his fingers pointed to a spot. "This is your plan as set out and it is stated here that the resort's largest green space for the hotel is behind the hotel with a lawn of two thousand square meters. How are you going to plant a thousand trees in a green space of two thousand square meters? The regulation states the basic requirement for spacing between trees is between three to five meters or else the trees will not have enough room for growth, and also........."

He leaned back onto the chair lazily and resumed his relaxed posture. "This is a piece of green land, not a forest. Are you sure this will not block the view on the lower floors? Are you sure that the dense forest will give a more relaxing ambiance rather than a field of grass? Or are you sure this is not a typing error? Instead of one hundred, you have typed in one thousand?"

"I......"

He also casually flipped the pages and used his fingers to point at a part on the document. "The elevator part.....the private elevator is missing. The parking lots are not enough to meet the demand if the rooms are fully booked......."

Every page that he turned to......every part that he pointed at......every employee's face from the planning department turned white by several degrees as every flawed point was picked up. Such a thick volume of proposal plan, Zhen Lang was able to pinpoint the errors and no one could imagine that this person, this rich second-generation, was just now casually yawning away.

After turning over a third of the document, Zhen Lang seemed to have lost interest. He pushed aside the document then stood up and said. "No more comments. Let's go."

When he wanted to come, he just came. When he wanted to leave, he just left. Temperamental and moody, he did not even give the other party any face.

"Young Mr. Zhen!" Director of the Planning Department hastily blocked Zhen Lang's path. "This proposal plan is only our first draft. If you are not satisfied, we can do the necessary amendments."

Although there were many mistakes, it was a huge planning project and such small details were completely within the scope for modifications.

"Not necessary!" Zhen Lang just laid down two decisive words without giving any reasons. He walked around the Director and moved towards the conference room door.

"Then......"

The Director of the Planning Department was shocked. He could not believe that such a huge joint-venture project would completely and so easily break down due to such small mistakes.

"Isn't this deliberately finding faults?" Behind them, a small voice said.

The tall man, who had reached the door of the conference room slowly turned around and smiled strangely. His eyes shot a glance towards the corner where a woman sat with her head lowered all this while without lifting her head.

"I am deliberately finding faults. My purpose here today is to inform you I will not be cooperating with Wang Enterprise. Do you understand? Young Miss of Wang Enterprise......"
