Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Minor Issue _1
Translator: 549690339
Although Yuanzhou didn’t know what the minor issue with Ye Mengyan was, he was clearly worried about her.
So much so that he lost the game.
He didn’t deny his account because of distraction, instead, he generously admitted defeat.
“Alright, you win!”
Yuanzhou stood up, took out a cigarette, and lit it with a lighter.
Then he walked over to the window and began to smoke.
“Speak up, what are your demands?”
He stared deeply into me.
The reason I was willing to stay at Zhenyi Company was because I had my own goals.
Even if he wasn’t involved in the arson case at Golden Bay, his betrayal of me is irrefutable.
Just because of that, I won’t let him off so easily.
Therefore, from now on, I’m going to dismantle the Zhenyi Company that I built with my own hands.
In fact, I’ve had a contingency plan in mind.
Since he gave me the opportunity tonight, I’ve got to make good use of it.
“President Gu, I’ve noticed that several management positions in our company have been changed recently! And the ones who were replaced are all loyal and long-standing employees!”
I voiced my objection first.
Yuanzhou’s eyebrows slightly furrowed,
“As you said, those were old employees, they can’t keep up with the times. The company needs fresh blood.”
I argued my point,
“However, I agree that fresh ideas are important in creative positions. For technical positions such as finance, I think old employees can do better.”
“So, what’s your request?”
“Call back some of the old employees?”
Yuanzhou said, “Regarding the strategy of company management, I can’t possibly change it. Not unless you can prove that my plan has a problem.”
What he meant was, my idea was wrong, and his approach was right. Unless I had solid proof, his strategy would not be questioned.
I knew it wouldn’t be so easy to change his mind.
This man is rather obstinate in the first place.
Thus, I’ve anticipated his refusal. But I’m not in a hurry, as long as there is his promise, I will act according to my plan from now on.
“It’s getting late, I won’t bother President Gu anymore!”
I retread first.
But just as I was about to leave the building, he handed me a list.
“Tomorrow, buy these items and ask Old Zhang to deliver them to Ye Mengyan’s residence!”
“Okay!”
On my way downstairs.
I glanced at the list, it was comprehensive indeed.
The next morning, after I finished my work, I took a stroll to the finance department.
The new finance director is a mature and charming woman named Yuan Li…
I don’t know what this woman’s background is. When she joined the company, she was pretty assertive, often scolding this one, instructing that one.
I’ve been with Yuanzhou for so many years. I know his circle of friends, but I’d never seen this woman before.
The whole company was in a turmoil because of Director Yuan.
I invited Xu Yun to lunch and took the opportunity to get some information.
“What’s the story with the finance director Yuan?”
Xu Yun said, “Sister Song, you’re close with President Gu, don’t you know Yuan Li?”
“Even I have some blind spots in social interactions! Of course, if I ask in detail, President Gu would tell me. But it doesn’t seem appropriate to bother him with such a minor issue!”
Xu Yun nodded in agreement and lowered her voice,
“They say… she is a relative of Miss Ye!”
“Which Miss Ye?”
“Hey, you don’t even know this? Everyone in the company knows, that Miss Ye is ‘the young Mrs. Gu!’”
“The young Mrs. Gu?”
“Yes, you know… they say President Gu cherishes her so much, it won’t take long before her status becomes official.”
I was shocked on the spot.
I didn’t expect that the people in the company would have more inside news than me.
Ye Mengyan had already become ‘the young Mrs. Gu.’
And she placed her relative in the company.
The once principled and disciplined Yuanzhou seems to have no principles after meeting Ye Mengyan.
Now, knowing that Yuan Li is a confidant of Ye Mengyan, I am even more determined to replace her.
After lunch, I went shopping at the supermarket.
While buying living supplies for Ye Mengyan, I also bought a small camera.
When I finished, I asked the driver Old Zhang to deliver these items to Ye Mengyan.
Afterward, I bought some small gifts to deliver to the finance department.
“Director Yuan, I bought you these presents!”
I bought a few kilos of premium fruit like cherries and strawberries, two boxes of ginseng, and a small strawberry bear toy.
Yuan Li, maintaining her professional face, was somewhat cold towards me, even showing some displeasure.
“What’s the point of sending these things during working hours? I don’t want them!”
I replied with a smile, “This morning, President Gu had me buy some birthday supplies for Miss Ye. I bought these for Director Yuan along the way. These are President Gu’s regards.”
When Yuan Li heard these were arranged by Yuanzhou for Ye Mengyan, she instantly relieved.
She didn’t refuse again, but she didn’t apologize to me either. Instead, she ordered me around like a servant.
“Just put them there! Oh right, you’ve been tardy lately, haven’t you? You won’t get the full-attendance bonus next month!”
I peeked a glance; it was Yuan Li calculating the salaries.
Originally, attendance was managed by the HR department. Now Yuan Li’s hand reached too far, even grasping salary calculations.
However, I didn’t want to argue with her now, so I left after putting the toy where she asked.
In the eyes of the strawberry bear toy, I had placed a mini camera. I’ll find a handle and then slowly settle scores with her.
Just as I clocked off work in the afternoon, Wenya cornered me at the company’s front gate.
“My little ancestor, why did you come here? Aren’t you afraid Yuanzhou might see you?”
I quickly dragged her into the car and swiftly closed the door.
Fortunately, Yuanzhou was in a meeting at this time, so he shouldn’t notice her.
Wenya looked anxious,
“You must accompany me to this dinner later!”
“Didn’t I teach you a method yesterday?”
“Hey, I did as you suggested and invited Su Peisheng for a private meeting. I thought through it, I would have a good chat with him. But this jerk gave some excuse about being busy and didn’t show. I think he did it on purpose, he stood me up.”
“Alright, I can go with you, but whether I can help is another matter!”
“Hey, all my hopes are pinned on you! You must help me settle this matter, no, to break up this marriage.”
“I’ll do my best!”
However, upon arriving at the scene, seeing Su’s parents attended the meal formally.
Su’s father is a professor at a renowned domestic university, Su’s mother is a well-known doctor at a hospital, they are genuinely from an aristocratic family.
Indeed, they have an impressive background, and both Su’s parents seemed amicable…
It seems that both families were very eager for this marriage to materialize. Both parties were getting along very well, it seemed as if the marriage is about to be confirmed.
Underneath the table, Wenya repeatedly kicked my foot, so hard that I dropped the teacup in my hand.
Su’s father thought I dropped the cup intentionally, he asked me very cautiously,
“Miss, do you have any objections to this marriage?”
