<h4>The Viin’s Wife 426 Complicated n</h4>


    Since Zhou Jingren and Cathy agreed to work together, they immediately called an emergency meeting with all of Fi Group’s executives. It wasn’t even a day after the ident, and they had already nned countermeasures to ensure that thepany would not go down. To everyone, this move from Zhou Jingren waspletely heartless. As someone who just lost his wife, Zhou Jingren did not even grieve. Instead, he immediately talked about business and the future of Lily’spany.


    This behavior immediately made the executives rage. They had been in thepany for years! How could they tackle business at this time?


    What kind of man was he? Instead of taking the time to grieve, he was here... talking about damage control and future ns about thepany. Seeing Zhou Jingren’s nk expression made many people in the room angry and confuse. However, the man’s argument about thepany is also logical. Lily would not want to see herpany suffer because of her death. Moreover, Cathy was also there assuring them as Zhou Jingren exined his side to everyone.


    In the end, those people concluded that he was only doing this for his wife’s sake. They understood that this could be Zhou Jingren’s way of dealing with the loss. After all, everyone knew how Lily treated thepany as her own child.


    While some of them doubted Zhou Jingren’s real intention about the matter, the fact that he was a businessman himself made them agree with Cathy’s suggestion to make him the new CEO.


    After the meeting, a press conference was called with Cathy confirming of Lily’s unfortunate passing because of the ident. She assured everyone that they will do their best to update the people of the Fi Group’s actions about the matter. She also informed them that they wanted the utmost privacy in this heartbreaking time and requested the media not to blow up the matter.


    Of course, it was futile. After the announcement, chaos ensued.


    Just as Zhou Jingren predicted, the Fi Group’s stock prices started dropping. The media were all over the ident as social media blew up on the fact that Zhou Jingren did not even show his face at the press conference.


    To appease the worried investors, it was immediately announced that Zhou Jingren will take over thepany. It was a risky move. Considering that thepany hailed from Europe, choosing someone from the East did not only cause a lot of controversies and issues, it even made some investors angry.


    Why do they need to choose someone that is not a part of thepany? Why choose someone who has not worked with thepany before? Everyone was worried about the future of Fi’s Group now that Lily was dead.


    "This was already expected." Zhou Jingren sat in Lily’s leather chair. "Let’s stick to our n."


    "You are aware that most people in thepany are thinking that you killed your own wife to get this position, right?" Cathy said bluntly as she sat opposite to him. "Once the chaos will end, many people will go forward to question this decision and will challenge your authority. This will create more chaos and instability."


    "I have limited time. I am aware of that." Zhou Jingren was firm on his belief that he was only doing the right thing. He knew he was not crazy, and that Lily was alive somewhere. "However... I am confident in my skills. I can keep thepany steady until shees back."


    "You seem really confident. Are you not even concern about Lily?" Cathy stared at him, her gaze was cid, yet he did not miss the scrutiny in her tone. "Are you not even afraid that she is already dead?"


    He shook his head in response. Lily would not leave him. "The result of the DNA will arrive tomorrow. By then, you will know that I am right. She is alive." She looked at him for a few seconds before she nodded.


    "Our vice president is already asking questions and asking me if he could have a private meeting with you. I can hold off the investors while you show them why you deserve to be our CEO. However, Mr. Rossi is a different case. He had been close to Lily and Lilian. You have to deal with him on your own."


    Zhou Jingren smiled at her as he nodded. He then assured her that he could deal with Mr. Rossi on his own. After talking more about thepany, Cathy bid him goodbye. She needed to leave and deal with a lot of public rtions matter about Lily’s death.


    "I was surprised that she trusted you that easily." Bei Tianmented after Cathy left. He ran his finger through his hair as he sighed. Seeing Zhou Jingren web aplicated n about this whole thing only made Bei Tian anxious.


    "She knew that I will never betray Lily."


    "You think so?" Bei Tian asked.


    "Hmmm.... I bet that woman knows my whole life story. She is one of Lilian’s trusted people. She would not have let Lily get near me if she doesn’t know what kind of person I am."


    Bei Tian nodded at his words. Now that he thought about it, Zhou Jingren’s words actually made sense. "So? What are we going to do now? I mean... your actions would easily affect Zhou Capital. You can’t have people specte the worst. Our enemies might take advantage of this."


    "Let them."


    "What do you mean?"


    "The Zhou Family..." Zhou Jingren made a deliberate pause as he shifted his gaze at Bei Tian. "Have been standing in my way for too long. It’s time to end them."


    "What if they are the ones holding Lily? What if..." Bei Tian did not continue his words when he saw Zhou Jingren shook his head. "It wasn’t them?" he asked.


    "There is a possibility that it wasn’t them. However, I am not taking any chances." He dialed his phone. "Lily wanted me to destroy them before our wedding."


    Bei Tian pursed his lips. Without Lily, how could they have a wedding? Still, he kept his opinions to himself. Confusion immediatelyced his eyes as he listened to Zhou Jingren call Zhou Jingtao. "You—"


    "I will destroy the Zhou Family." Zhou Jingren confirmed. Determination shed in his eyes. "And I will do it before Lilyes back."
