Peter's unexpected threat turned Caspar livid with rage. "What are you trying to say?" Caspar said through his teeth.
"I have a solution that just might be the JH Group's saving grace," Peter said with a coy smile.
'What... what can this kid do?' Caspar thought dubiously. Caspar carefully looked at Peter. A sarcastic smile made its way to Caspar's lips. 'He's bluffing. I'm sure of it. Besides, he's only even relying on a woman to pay for his rent! What does this punk think he can do?'
As Caspar was about to turn around and leave, Peter called out to him. "I know someone influential of the YS Group." His words made Caspar freeze in shock.
"I'm well acquainted with John Cheng, who, as you may know, is the senior assistant of the YS Group. In fact, he's actually a good friend of mine."
…… Jian family's home...
"What? Why are you saying this, Dad? Why do you want me to go to the YS Group?" Jenny frowned and said to Caspar unpleasantly.
"Why are we bothering to get in touch with the YS Group, Caspar? Can't you see how eager they are to swallow our company whole? How about we just try our luck again with Wade?" Stellar suggested.
"You know nothing! We can't count on Wade anymore. Jenny needs to get to John. We might have a better shot with him than we ever did with Wade." Caspar narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
Casper didn't expect that Peter was good friends with John Cheng of the YS Group. Even though he just held a position higher than the general manager, it was still a very influential and important status. It was already no secret that the YS Group was going to purchase the JH Group. But if they managed to be in good terms with each other, no one would dare belittle the name of the JH Group ever again! At this point, they could no longer just depend on Wade.
'It's worth a shot, ' Caspar thought. 'It wouldn't hurt if Jenny tried. Who knows, my plan might work.' It was a pity that there was a rumor going around that Victor actually liked men. At least John Cheng was someone they could work with.
"John? You mean Victor's right-hand man?" Other than the fact that Stellar was a total gossip, she was also quite familiar with comings and goings of the business world because of Caspar. She instantly recognized John's name, and knew that he was Victor's senior assistant. On top of that, he had a mysterious family background, which made him all the more a hot topic.
Jenny's interest was also suddenly piqued. "I think I've heard about him, too. He's one of the most influential men in the YS Group, right? But... I don't understand. I don't even personally know him. Why should I go to see him?"
Jenny's brows furrowed as she tried to make sense of Caspar's orders. Stellar, on the other hand, knew exactly what Caspar was trying to imply. With a sigh, she turned to her daughter. "Jenny, go and get dressed. You need to get to the YS Group now. You might as well be the only one who can save the JH Group! You don't need to worry, my sweet and beautiful baby girl. I'm sure you can make John fall in love with you!"
It was not until now that Jenny realized what they meant. "Oh, I see. You want me to play the honey trap with John Cheng! But what about Peter..."
"We'll talk about it when it's done," Caspar interrupted coldly.
It was already afternoon when Jenny finished getting ready. Just when she was about to go out, she saw Sophia was leaving as well.
"I need to get somewhere. Drive me there," Jenny walked to Sophia and said in a commanding tone.
Meanwhile, Sophia just tightly held onto the steering wheel in silence, looking as if she had no intention to drive another inch.
Confused, Jenny looked up at Sophia. "Come on, Sophia! I told you that I have something important to do! You don't have to come with me. Just wait for me outside."
"What business do you have at the YS Group?" Sophia asked coldly. There was a mix of feelings going through her at the moment.
The last thing she wanted to do was to possibly see Victor and provoke him with her presence.
"It's for the sake of the JH Group, obviously! Now drive or I'm going to be late!" Jenny urged.
Sophia hesitated for a while before finally starting the car and driving to the YS Group.
Located in the most commercial district in S City, the YS Group was quite well-known. Even three-year-old children knew about the company's name and glory.
Sophia pulled up to the side of the road in front of the YS Group. "Get off the car," she said flatly at Jenny.
