Chapter 837 Thunder
At this moment, there was no smile on Cao Xiaoqiang's face anymore. He realized that Xiao Fei must have pissed off Suning. However, thinking that Suning had just returned from Italy, he really couldn't figure out what exactly happened between the two of them, so he finally found Xiao Fei, the person involved in this incident.

"Xiao Fei, tell me! How did you offend Suning?" Cao Xiaoqiang sat in his boss chair, looked at Xiao Fei in front of him with an expressionless face and asked.

"Chairman, this is the first time I met Suning today, and I have never offended him!" Xiao Fei felt completely speechless at this time, because he didn't know this Suning at all.

"Hmph! Xiao Fei, the stupidest person in the world, the kind who doesn't even know who he has offended." Looking at Xiao Fei's depressed and confused face in front of him, Cao Xiaoqiang became a little disappointed.

"Ah I"

"Okay! Prepare a generous gift tomorrow, and I will take you to apologize to Suning in person." No matter what, Xiao Fei was his little follower when he first started, and he can be considered a company veteran, so it is necessary for him to come forward in person to resolve the dispute between the two.

"Thank you, Chairman." Xiao Fei couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard that Cao Xiaoqiang was willing to personally come forward to negotiate the matter.

"Go down!"

"Yes."

After Xiao Fei left the office in a daze, Cao Xiaoqiang's assistant walked in directly and reported to Cao Xiaoqiang in front of him, "Chairman, I have found the information you asked me to check. Suning's grandfather Jing Kangshan is the controlling shareholder of Jing's Handicraft Company. The shops he opened were all purchased when housing prices were low in the early years. He is also one of the major shareholders of Jingyuan. Others are not involved in real estate development in Nancheng. The only possible conflict is that President Xiao's branch company has set its sights on the properties under Jing Kangshan's name, and perhaps some conflicts arose when they wanted to acquire them."

"Well, after thinking about it, this is the only possibility. It can't be because of a woman!" Cao Xiaoqiang sighed with a feeling of depression, but they didn't know that the conflict was really because of a woman.

"Huh? Chairman, this possibility is not impossible. You know, President Xiao has been very arrogant in Nancheng in recent years." Thinking of Xiao Fei's reputation in Nancheng, the assistant looked at Cao Xiaoqiang with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Hey! This bastard! If it weren't for the fact that he used to be my little follower and had accompanied me all the way to where I am today, I would have kicked him away a long time ago." Cao Xiaoqiang naturally knew something about Xiao Fei's character, but he never took it to heart.

"Chairman, do you want to temporarily transfer General Manager Xiao from the Nancheng branch? This will also be an explanation to Mr. Su." The assistant knew a lot about Cai Cao Xiaoqiang, and also knew the importance of Su Ning to Cao Xiaoqiang, so he directly expressed his opinion on how to deal with the matter.

"No need! We should make things clear first, right? I, Cao Xiaoqiang, have never been timid in doing things. Besides, Su Ning is just an artist. I can just buy a few more of his works." The main reason why Cao Xiaoqiang was so shameless in contacting Su Ning was because of Su Ning's works. In fact, he didn't really think much of Su Ning.

"Chairman, I'm afraid this is a confusing matter. Mr. Su doesn't want to explain it to us too clearly, and Mr. Xiao himself doesn't understand the situation. You know, this kind of thing is very troublesome."

"Ah." What the assistant said was indeed what Cao Xiaoqiang was worried about. However, with over 100,000 employees in the group, if he dealt with his former lackey without fully understanding the situation, it would also greatly damage his prestige in the group. "However, this guy Su Ning is a talented person. Last time, I showed his 'Su Shi's Cold Food Postscript' to a senior leader for appreciation, and he loved it. You know, none of the famous calligraphy works I collected before had such an effect."

"Oh? Chairman, then we must not offend Mr. Su casually." The assistant repeated the suggestion again, feeling that there was no need to offend Suning for Xiao Fei.

"Alright! Go down and investigate Xiao Fei's past in South City. I also want to see what kind of person this former little follower is."

"Yes! Chairman."

After the assistant left his office, Cao Xiaoqiang leaned back in his boss chair with a headache. Others said that he was a nouveau riche who spent money lavishly, but no one knew that it was the big boss behind him who liked Suning's work, so he would shamelessly act like a nouveau riche. You know, he didn't have the leisure time to appreciate such works of art.

In the following time, Cao Xiaoqiang kept calling Suning to make appointments, but was rejected by Suning with various excuses. Cao Xiaoqiang knew that Suning had some opinions about him, but he didn't take Suning's attitude too seriously, because in Cao Xiaoqiang's eyes, Suning was just a cultured person with high expectations but poor skills.

Unfortunately, Suning's methods were far from limited to these. Soon, Cao Xiaoqiang saw what it meant to be a gentleman's revenge. The assistant hurried into Cao Xiaoqiang's office and, upon seeing Cao Xiaoqiang, hurriedly explained, "Chairman, is there something wrong with the South City branch?"

"What's going on?" Cao Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Now he felt a headache whenever he heard the name Nancheng.

"It's said that there were irregularities in the Nancheng branch's accounts, involving illegal funds of unknown origin. This means the Nancheng branch is suspected of money laundering. Furthermore, they were reported to have cut corners on the building they were building. The branch has now been sealed off by the relevant authorities."

"What? How could this happen?" Cao Xiaoqiang stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"I don't know! Several banks in South City have downgraded the credit rating of our South City branch and rejected its loan applications."

"Where's that bastard Xiao Fei?"

"Mr. Xiao has been detained by the relevant authorities, and this will definitely affect the stock price of the parent company."

"Damn it! This bastard always causes trouble for me." The angry Cao Xiaoqiang couldn't help but curse, realizing that he was too soft-hearted towards Xiao Fei.

"Chairman, do you think Mr. Su was the one who did this?" The assistant then looked at Cao Xiaoqiang in confusion and expressed his guess.

"Impossible! He's just an artist and he doesn't have that much power. Looks like I'll have to beg people for help again."

Cao Xiaoqiang has been able to grow his business to such a big size today, and the connections and resources behind him are definitely impressive. The next step is naturally to ask people for help everywhere, at least to get the head office here out. So Cao Xiaoqiang can be said to be so anxious and angry these days that he is almost going crazy.

Just when Cao Xiaoqiang hadn't figured things out, he saw his assistant rushing in again in a hurry. Seeing the assistant's pale face, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He looked at the assistant helplessly and asked, "What happened again?"

"Chairman, Xiao Fei has given up everything!"

"Give up? What can a bastard like him give up?"

"Ever since he took over the South City branch, cutting corners is a minor issue. He's also been involved in embezzlement of public funds and tax evasion. He even secretly used company accounts to open another real estate company. The South City branch is now just a shell company."

"What? This bastard deserves to be fucked."

Of course, all these things about Xiao Fei were secretly manipulated by Suning. Thinking about the Xiao Fei in the original drama, who relied on his little money to harass the girls he liked every day, and his methods could be said to be extremely despicable, since he had such a chance to meet this Xiao Fei, it was natural that he had to use thundering methods to get rid of this guy.

Actually, it's not uncommon to go out and pick up girls if you have money. As long as both parties are willing, no one can find anything wrong with it. What's disgusting is that Xiao Fei is so persistent and persistent, and psychologically he is close to being perverted and crazy. Therefore, it is necessary to pull out the fangs of this mad dog in advance, so as not to feel disgusted when encountering him again in the future. Originally, Suning thought that by relying on the interaction with Cao Xiaoqiang, a fan, Cao Xiaoqiang could directly make Xiao Fei lose everything, which would naturally make Xiao Fei lose the capital of arrogance. However, Cao Xiaoqiang, although on the surface, was laughing and calling Suning a brother, was actually so stubborn and stubborn inside. He actually wanted to figure out the grudge between Suning and Xiao Fei first, and even tried to be a peacemaker between Suning and Xiao Fei. Suning naturally had no way to explain anything that had not happened yet, so Suning had to use thundering means to deal with Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei's affair finally caused Cao Xiaoqiang to suffer heavy losses. Although it did not cause him any serious injuries, the things and wealth he gave up still gave him a headache. Moreover, Xiao Fei's affair was discovered by the big boss behind him, who scolded Cao Xiaoqiang harshly in person.

Cao Xiaoqiang knew that this time the situation had developed to the point he least wanted to see, so now he just wanted to try his best to redeem himself from the negative evaluation in front of the big boss. Naturally, he thought of the fact that the big boss had always valued Suning, and he was going to bring Suning in person to the big boss to write some poems, which he believed would win the favor and respect of the big boss again.

"Aning, you must help me this time!" In the end, Cao Xiaoqiang shamelessly came to Su Ning and begged.

"Brother Qiang, what the hell is going on?" Suning looked at the guy in front of him in some surprise. He felt more and more that Cao Xiaoqiang was too dangerous, and he wanted to stay away from him as much as possible.

"Aning, I recently offended a leader because of a small matter. This leader really likes your calligraphy, so I want to take you to meet the leader in person and perform calligraphy."

"Brother Qiang, it turns out that you gave all those works of mine that you bought to this leader?" After connecting the previous and subsequent works, Su Ning guessed all of Cao Xiaoqiang's intentions. It turned out that his works were just tools for him to please others.

"Hehe, yes! How can a businessman like me understand mortise and tenon joints and brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone? Not to mention those weird things painted by foreigners. I really don't understand the ins and outs of it."

"Brother Qiang, I'm just a small-time craftsman, so naturally I don't have the idea of getting to know any big shots, so I might really disappoint you."

"Aning, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can please this true god, you will be very successful in the future."

"Haha, I'm a lazy person by nature, so naturally I don't have the desire to pursue fame and fortune. So I can only thank Brother Qiang for his kindness."

"This"

"Brother Qiang, since we have met each other, it is fate. Seeing that you are in trouble now, I can't pretend to be blind, so here is a couple of words for you." After contacting Cao Xiaoqiang during this period, Su Ning realized that Cao Xiaoqiang was really powerful in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas, so there was naturally no need to implicate Cao Xiaoqiang in Xiao Fei's affairs.

"Aning." At this time, Cao Xiaoqiang was also deeply moved and took a scroll from Su Ning.

"Alright! Brother Qiang, I won't keep you for dinner."

"Aning, I, Cao, will remember your kindness."

After Cao Xiaoqiang left Suning, he drove directly to the senior leader's place. When the senior leader opened the scroll Cao Xiaoqiang handed him in surprise, his eyes widened in delight and he exclaimed, "Ah? This is actually Wang Xizhi's 'Lanting Preface'?"

"Leader, this calligraphy and painting is amazing?" Cao Xiaoqiang naturally didn't know anything about Wang Xizhi or "Preface to the Lanting Poems", but he felt excited as long as the person in front of him was happy.

"It's more than just extraordinary! It's a complete imitation of the soul of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. If it weren't for Su Ning's personal signature at the end, it would only need someone to carefully age it, and it would be a genuine work of art!"

"Leader, it seems that Suning didn't lie to me."

"Xiao Qiang, how much money did you spend this time?" The leader looked up at Cao Xiaoqiang in surprise and asked.

"I didn't ask for money! This was a gift from Suning." Cao Xiaoqiang quickly explained to his leader with a flattering smile.

"Oh? What's going on?" The leader felt surprised at this time. After all, his identity made him very sensitive to some things.

"Boss, you scolded me like a dog blood yesterday. I have been feeling uneasy since I went back home, so I wanted to bring Su Ning to meet you. However, Su Ning only gave me this calligraphy."

"Oh? Interesting! It seems that this Suning is really a pure artist." Hearing that Suning had no interest in getting to know him, the leader felt interesting.

"Leader, if you really want to see him, I can find a way to invite him."

"Vague! As long as the eggs are delicious, there's no need to see the hen that laid them."

"Hey, boss, you know me best. How could you possibly understand these things?"

"Okay! Xiao Fei's affairs will not implicate you. You must be stricter with your subordinates in the future." The leader knew what Cao Xiaoqiang was most worried about, and then thought of the results of the investigation during this period, and gave Cao Xiaoqiang a reassurance.

"Thank you, leader! I will conduct a comprehensive inspection when I get back and will definitely eliminate termites like Xiao Fei." At this time, Cao Xiaoqiang finally put aside his worries. After all, he was really worried that Xiao Fei's affairs would affect him.

"By the way! Where will Suning's next exhibition tour be held?" The leader then asked curiously about Suning's exhibition tour. He couldn't wait to visit it in person. Such outstanding works of art are rare to see.

"I don't know! After all, the last exhibition tour was held not long ago, but he has a permanent private exhibition hall in the Tianyuan Building in Hangzhou."

"Oh? Then I'd really like to see it for myself if I get the chance."

"Leader, I'll make the arrangements when it's convenient for you?" Hearing that the leader was interested in visiting in person, Cao Xiaoqiang smiled again and looked at the leader in front of him and said.

"Forget it! I'll go by myself. Don't try to act like a nouveau riche anymore."

"Huh? Yes! Leader."
