I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Zhao Kai’s expression changed immediately. “You’ve already told her?”

“I did.” Linda knew that he was helpless, but she was still a little unhappy. “Chairman Zhao, you made it sound so serious, how could I not tell her? The moment I left your office, I called her and told her about it.

“We’ve agreed to have dinner together tonight. We’ll settle this in person.

“Chairman Zhao, if you’re worried that I won’t be able to handle this well, you can get someone to do it.”

“That’s not what I mean.” Zhao Kai looked worried when he heard that she’d already looked for Qiao Mianmian to discuss the contract termination. He quickly said, “What I mean is, if the contract termination isn’t settled, then don’t do it.”

“Chairman Zhao?” Linda looked at him in shock. “What do you mean? You’re not terminating the contract?”

Zhao Kai quickly nodded and said, “Yes, we won’t terminate the contract.”

Linda was speechless.

“Chairman Zhao, didn’t you say that this was Miss Shen’s idea? Aren’t you afraid of offending her?”

Linda knew how powerful the Shen family was.

It was normal for Zhao Kai to be afraid.

She wasn’t someone he could offend.

In fact, not many people in Yuncheng City would dare to offend the Shen family.

Hence, even if she was unhappy about the contract termination, she could understand.

If she was Zhao Kai, she wouldn’t have offended the Young Lady of the Shen family over a newbie.

No matter how talented and outstanding that newbie was.

But now, he suddenly said he wasn’t going to terminate the contract?!

“Ahem.” Zhao Kai covered his mouth and coughed to hide his embarrassment. “Back then, how would I know that the newbie had such a huge backing? Why didn’t you tell me? If you did, I wouldn’t have thought about terminating the contract.”

Linda was even more confused now. “Chairman Zhao, what do you mean? You’re saying that Mianmian has a huge backing? Why didn’t I know about this?”

The fact that Zhao Kai was willing to offend Young Lady Shen to the point of changing his mind and refusing to terminate the contract with Qiao Mianmian showed that the person he was referring to was even more powerful than Young Lady Shen.

Could it be…

Linda suddenly thought of someone, and her expression changed. “Chairman Zhao, is the backing you’re talking about Young Master Gong?”

Although the Shen, Bai, Gong, and Mo families were known as the four most powerful families in Yuncheng City.

But in terms of wealth and power, the Shen family was still inferior to the Gong family.

Moreover, Young Master Gong was the only heir of the Gong Corporation.

This was something that Young Lady Shen couldn’t compare to.

It was said that although Eldest Young Lady Shen was pampered, the Shen Group wouldn’t be given to the women of the Shen family in the future.

At most, she would be given some shares.

This couldn’t be compared to the Young Master of the Gong family, who was in charge of everything.

If she had to offend either of them, she would choose Young Lady Shen even if she was Zhao Kai.

Linda felt that it was definitely Gong Zeli.

Previously, Gong Zeli had defended Qiao Mianmian on Weibo, and the two of them had a scandal afterward. No matter how she looked at it, Gong Zeli seemed to be interested in Qiao Mianmian.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kai shook his head. “It wasn’t him. You definitely can’t imagine who it was. I didn’t expect it either, so I was especially shocked.”
