My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 654 654: The Battle with the Zhang Family Begins

The next morning, Chen Xuan drove Lin Wanxi to the office building again.

The two looked relaxed, feeling no pressure, under the impression that they could easily secure an office space by completing the necessary procedures in the morning.

However, when Lin Wanxi found the person in charge, she received a harsh blow.

Zhao Shuhai, the person in charge, smiled apologetically, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, but the floor you wanted has already been bought at a high price by someone else."

Hmm?

Lin Wanxi frowned slightly, "Manager Zhao, didn't we agree yesterday afternoon that we'd come to sign the agreement this morning? How can you go back on your word?"

Zhao Shuhai looked displeased, "Miss Lin, that's not quite appropriate to say."

"We only had a verbal agreement yesterday, not a written one, so it's not valid."

"Shortly after you left, someone came in offering a high price, and I had no reason to refuse."

Lin Wanxi looked very displeased. Although Zhao Shuhai's words made her uncomfortable, she had no grounds to argue.

A verbal agreement isn't recognized by law and holds no validity.

She just didn't expect that in just one night, someone would snatch the floor she had her eyes on.

It's evident that someone is targeting her intentionally!

It's either Zhu Feng from the Zhu family or the Zhang family behind this.

There's no third possibility.

"Manager Zhao, may I ask who exactly managed to snatch away the floor I wanted?" Lin Wanxi asked softly.

"Sorry, Miss Lin, that's a business secret, I can't disclose it," Zhao Shuhai gestured slightly, then turned to leave.

Lin Wanxi sighed softly, "Let's go out first, we can only look for a new office space."

Chen Xuan was somewhat infuriated, "This is clearly treacherous!"

Lin Wanxi smiled bitterly, "In business, there's no such thing as fairness, everything prioritizes interests."

"We've been outmaneuvered this time, we can only accept it."

Chen Xuan didn't say more, "Don't worry, if you can't get what you want, I will find you a better office space!"

Lin Wanxi smiled and shook her head, not taking Chen Xuan's words seriously, nor believing he could accomplish it.

Just as the two reached the ground floor lobby, Zhang Xiangyang called out to them, "Cousin Wanxi, what a coincidence, what brings you here?"

The moment she saw Zhang Xiangyang, Lin Wanxi understood immediately and said displeased, "Zhang Xiangyang, was it you who snatched the floor I wanted?"

Zhang Xiangyang didn't deny it, smiling lightly, "Cousin, how can you call it snatching."

"The whole office building is not your private property. It just so happens that the floor you wanted is the one I had my eyes on too."

"Everyone secures what they want by their abilities, what's wrong with that?"

Humph!

Lin Wanxi snorted lightly, "So the Zhang family is declaring war on me! Zhang Xiangyang, go back and tell Grandpa and Uncle, the more they do this, the more I will fight them to the end!"

"Haha, alright then, you, an outsider, want to contend with the Zhang family, that's just overestimating yourself!"

Zhang Xiangyang sneered disdainfully, "Let's see who can't endure and ends up bashing their head against the wall!"

Then he turned and left with a mocking smile.

Lin Wanxi narrowed her eyes, clearly furious. If Zhu Feng had made a move secretly, she might have felt a bit better.

But for the Zhang family to make a move on her was truly heartbreaking!

"The battle with the Zhang family starts now!"

Lin Wanxi's gaze was determined, "Chen Xuan, let's go back and discuss tactics."

Chen Xuan didn't say much as he drove Lin Wanxi back to the luxurious villa.

Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru were waiting for news. Seeing Lin Wanxi come inside, they asked, "Is the office space secured?"

"No, there was an unexpected problem." Lin Wanxi said with resentment, "The Zhang family beat us to it. They don't want us to establish ourselves in Jiangnan City."

Sigh!

Lin Zhiguo let out a bitter sigh, "The Zhang family is going too far, pushing us to a dead end! They have no sense of kinship at all!"

"Dad, this is how they have always been! Expecting them to have some sentiment is just a joke!" Lin Wanxi said coldly, suppressing her anger.

Zhang Ru felt very uncomfortable, caught in the middle and finding it hard to act, immediately looking at Chen Xuan, "Didn't you say confidently yesterday that you'd help us deal with the Zhang family and make them bow to us?"

"Now faced with such a challenge, where's your capability? Can you solve it? Don't just boast!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, my word is as good as gold!"

"Wanxi, you all wait at home peacefully, I'll find you a better office space this afternoon."
