Chapter 498: Chapter 487: Zhan Qipei is Caught by Qiao Jing Chapter 498: Chapter 487: Zhan Qipei is Caught by
Qiao Jing Zhan Qipei was still sitting at the desk, the screen of his laptop glowing, with a stack of documents
beside him.
Qiao Jing could see the man’s tightly furrowed brows and the deep fatigue on his face.
She thought about how if she hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and encountered him, Zhan Qipei would
have to get up early to make breakfast the next morning.
Calculating carefully, Zhan Qipei could only sleep for six hours.
Her eyes lowered, just as she was about to go in and ask about the situation, the man started to move.
Zhan Qipei stood up, holding a cup, ready to grind another cup of coffee with the machine.
As he turned around, he saw Qiao Jing standing at the doorway.
His movement paused, and he immediately put the cup back on the table and quickly cto Qiao Jing’s side.
“What's wrong? Did | wake you up?”
When Qiao Jing heard Zhan Qipei’s hoarse voice, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smelled the strong
scent of coffee on him.
“No, you're still working?”
She had woken up halfway through her sleep, and Zhan Qipei’s work had not yet finished; it seemed to be very
tricky.
She had not asked much after seeing him in the evening, but now, considering the situation, she wanted to see if
there was anything she could help with.
Zhan Qipei glanced in the direction of the desk, his dark eyes deepening.
“Yes, go get srest,” he said.
The work he encountered this twas a bit troublesome, so it took a bit longer.
But he hadn’t expected to be found by Qiao Jing; he didn’t want her to worry.
Qiao Jing furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and her gaze fell on Zhan Qipei’s laptop.
“What partnership? Can | take a look? Maybe | can help. Also, don’t worry about making breakfast tomorrow; let
Although she knew Zhan Qipei could handle it on his own, she somehow didn’t want to see him staying up late
over this issue.
Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips.
“I can handle it myself; you go rest, and I'll still make breakfast tomorrow,” he said.
How could a big man like him ask his wife for help?
He couldn't allow his wife to worry about him in return.
Qiao Jing slightly raised her beautifully arched eyebrows and looked directly at Zhan Qipei.

advice,” she said.
Though she was an outsider in this field, she could still try to offer sadvice.
Besides, given her identity as Professor Qiao and Divine Doctor Jing, she knew quite a few influential people who
could possibly be of help.
Zhan Qipei sighed helplessly.
“Alright, Ill explain, and then you'll go to bed, alright?”
He could tell from her expression that Qiao Jing wanted to understand the whole matter clearly, otherwise, she
wouldn't be able to sleep.
Qiao Jing hummed affirmatively, waiting for Zhan Qipei to continue.
Later, she might still have to keep an eye on Zhan Qipei to ensure he got ssleep; knowing his nature, he
would definitely try to sneak back to work.
Zhan Qipei, looking exhausted, reached out to rub his temple and started to speak.
“I have an important partnership with Nanjiang’s Li Group; there are a total of three companies competing.”
Qiao Jing raised her delicately light eyebrows, a puzzled look in her eyes as she looked at Zhan Qipei.
“Which three companies?”
With the capabilities of Zhan Corporation, securing this partnership should have been straightforward, so why
was Zhan Qipei so troubled?
Zhan Qipei furrowed his handsbrows.
“One is Yan's from Nanjiang and also...”
As he spoke, he paused, his lips tightly sealed, looking reluctant to continue.
Seeing Zhan Qipei hesitant to continue, Qiao Jing grew even more curious.
“Which other company?”
Zhan Qipei’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, so tight they could crush a fly. After a moment of
contemplation, he finally spoke.
“Wu Xirui has also joined in. We were in a position to take it, but the others acquired another company. Now, two
companies have merged to counter Zhan's,” he said.
He had been busy with this partnership deal for the past few days. Although Zhan Corporation had some
partnerships in the Nanjiang area, this partnership with Li Group was more important than the others, so he had
put a lot of effort into it.
On hearing the nof Li Group, Qiao Jing’s face showed a moment of surprise, then her brows furrowed.
“What did Li Group say?” she asked.
It turned out Wu Xirui was also involved, no wonder Zhan Qipei had looked so odd earlier, unwilling to discuss it.
She had heard of Li Group's reputation. Being the leading company in the Nanjiang area, it was normal for Zhan
Qipei to value this partnership so highly.
If Zhan Corporation were to partner with Li Group, it would be all gain and no loss for them, allowing them to
greatly expand their business in that region.
Wu Xirui also had his eyes on this deal. Whether his aim was to deliberately cause trouble for Zhan Qipei or
genuinely to collaborate with Li Group, it posed a threat to Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei’s profile was tense as he shook his head.
“Because it's the merger of two companies, we are now at a disadvantage,” he explained.
Upon learning that Wu Xirui had acquired another company, he knew they intended to target Zhan Corporation.
If it were just Wu Xirui alone, he could have easily handled it.
But this time, Wu Xirui had laid down a large sum of money to acquire another company outright.
As a businessman himself, he could see that Wu Xirui did not want Zhan Corporation’s influence to expand
further in Nanjiang.
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows.
“I can’t give you any advice right now, or maybe you can try communicating with someone from Li Group,” she
suggested.
After carefully analyzing the current situation, she knew it was at a deadlock.
Unless Li Group chose to work with Zhan's.
But at this point, with Wu Xirui and another company joining forces, Li Group was more likely to choose Wu
Xirui’s side.
Zhan Qipei’s tensed profile softened, and his furrowed brow gradually relaxed, managing to conceal his fatigue
well.
“I understand. All you can do fornow is get srest. Otherwise, | can’t stop worrying about you, and | can’t
focus,” he said.
Whenever his wife was by his side, he could never concentrate on his work, always having Qiao Jing on his mind.
Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment, then advised,
“Okay, you go and rest now, and we’ll handle the work tomorrow,” she said.
If she didn’t intervene, this fool of a man would definitely neglect his health and keep working.
It was already one in the morning, and if he kept working, it would probably go on until two or three.
Zhan Qipei coughed and agreed.
“Alright, you go rest first, Ill stop working too,” he conceded.
He could let Qiao Jing rest first. Later, he could just close the door and turn off the lights without her knowing he
was still working.

Especially since this fool would still have to drag his tired body out of bed early to make her breakfast.
Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes brightened, and he agreed immediately.
“Okay, I'll sleep now,” he said.
His wife was showing concern for him.
He couldn't ignore his wife's words!
To show his sincerity, Zhan Qipei immediately shut down his laptop and switched the room's light to a nightlight.
