Tao Old Lady was weak and petty. She was widowed in her middle years and worked hard to marry off her three ungrateful sons and help them raise their children. Yet in her old age, no one would supp...
Chapter 177 Wang Baoshan Part 2
Sun Ying's matter was very easy to investigate, and Jiang Huan learned everything about Sun Ying in just one hour.
After completing his investigation, Jiang Huan did not go directly to Sun Ying.
The main reason is that Sun Ying is a public figure, and a public figure who has been quite popular recently.
Jiang Huan was terrified if he were to be implicated in anything.
Jiang Huan went directly to Tao Ying, by which time Wang Baoshan had already been moved to a regular ward.
Only Tao Ying and her caregiver were in the ward.
"Xiao Ying." Jiang Huan pushed open the door and walked in, handing the documents in his hand to Tao Ying.
"How is he?" Jiang Huan asked, looking at Wang Baoshan who was lying down.
"It's nothing serious, I'll have Zhao Qiang handle it." Tao Ying glanced at the documents.
As for that Mr. Huang, he's really not a big shot; he just owns a small company.
With assets of only ten million, Tao Ying really didn't take it seriously.
There wasn't much of a powerful background; sometimes money and power go hand in hand.
Having money alone isn't enough.
Tao Ying asked Jiang Huan to keep an eye on things while she went out to make a phone call.
Less than five minutes after Tao Ying left, Jiang Huan saw Wang Baoshan move his hand and quickly asked the nanny to call the doctor.
Tao Ying dialed Zhao Qiang's number. "Zhao Qiang, this is Tao Ying."
"President Tao! What are your instructions?" Zhao Qiang greeted Tao Ying respectfully as soon as he heard her voice.
Zhao Qiang is the head of the head office's supervision department, which, in ancient times, would be equivalent to a secretary-general.
Although Wang Chuntao is currently in charge of the head office, Zhao Qiang is considered a veteran in the head office and also owns one percent of the shares.
Don't underestimate this one percent; apart from Tao Ying's family, Zhao Qiang is the only outsider who has received shares in the company.
Zhao Qiang doesn't have any other great skills, but he has extremely high emotional intelligence, even though he only has a junior high school education.
But he was a diligent student. He often went to night school to study, learning whatever he didn't know. Now he can speak basic English and Russian.
He was extremely loyal to Tao Ying, and would carry out her orders without asking any questions.
“I want someone, Sun Ying, the Sun Ying who’s been really popular lately. This kid came to me by sheer coincidence, she’s practically driven to despair. Get her to our company within two days, I need to see her,” Tao Ying said softly.
“Okay, Mr. Tao,” Zhao Qiang replied immediately.
Then he put down all his work and did a quick investigation into Sun Ying's situation.
Seeing Sun Ying's information, I couldn't help but sigh.
Such a family, such a background, such an appearance.
Having been in this circle for two years, it's quite an achievement to still be alive and well; otherwise, someone might be trying to run a pig-butchering scam.
He immediately dialed the phone number of the general manager of Liren Film and Television Company, where Sun Ying worked.
“I am Zhao Qiang of the Tao family. I need someone from you.” Zhao Qiang didn’t beat around the bush.
With Tao's backing, Zhao Qiang is a very influential figure in this circle.
"President Zhao, please speak, please speak," said General Manager Zhang of Liren Film and Television Company, immediately echoing her obsequiously.
Zhao Qiang of the Dow Group—that's someone he can't afford to offend.
"Sun Ying, name your terms," Zhao Qiang said bluntly.
"Sun, Sun Ying? I'll send her to you right away." Mr. Zhang didn't hesitate at all.
"I want this person to come to my company." Zhao Qiang realized that this person had misunderstood.
After all, this beauty company was originally just profiting from human suffering.
"Her breach of contract fee is fifty million, Mr. Zhao, why don't you just...hehehe..." Mr. Zhang was not about to let go of this cash cow.
First there was General Manager Huang, and now General Manager Zhao has his eye on him; they're not going to release him so quickly.
"Three million, or we'll sue. I'm determined to have him." Zhao Qiang sneered.
"President Zhao..." President Huang was also a little angry.
"To tell you the truth, this isn't the person I want. If that person gets angry, it won't just be one person's problem," Zhao Qiang threatened.
Mr. Zhang trembled slightly. If it really was what Zhao Qiang wanted, he wouldn't be so afraid, after all, Zhao Qiang was also just an employee.
But if it's really what the Jiang family wants, then we wouldn't dare to try it.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhao, I'll take care of it right away," Mr. Zhang said respectfully.
After Zhao Qiang hung up the phone, General Manager Zhang immediately called Sun Ying's manager, Zhang Meifeng.
"What's going on with Sun Ying?" Mr. Zhang was sweating profusely.
Now it feels like Sun Ying is no longer just a cash cow, but possibly a death knell.
"Don't worry, Ms. Zhang, I will definitely send Sun Ying to Mr. Huang, whether she agrees or not," Zhang Meifeng said confidently.
"Send her to your grandma's leg! The Tao family has their eye on her. You're going to treat her like royalty and send her over to me later. If a single hair on her head gets hurt, I'll kill you." Boss Zhang was so angry that he picked up a teacup and smashed it over.
The teacup fell to Zhang Meifeng's feet, startling her. She hadn't been scolded like that in a long time.
"How will we explain this to President Huang? Sun Ying got such good resources this time, all thanks to President Huang's money." Although she was afraid, Zhang Meifeng still had to say it.
Less than six months after Sun Ying was recruited, she caught the eye of General Manager Huang.
But Mr. Huang still wanted a consensual relationship and to pursue her openly.
They've poured real money into this, but Sun Ying just doesn't appreciate it.
Mr. Huang has already given them an ultimatum.
"Let him go find Tao himself." General Manager Zhang really wouldn't let General Manager Huang have his way.
Anyway, Tao himself can't afford to offend him, but if he can afford to offend him, then he can offend him himself.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? If Sun Ying is still here before I leave work today, you're fired tomorrow too." Boss Zhang angrily threw another pen holder.
Zhang Meifeng hurriedly ran out, though she was furious and dared not say anything.
Full of anger, he went to find Sun Ying.
This time, I didn't dare to open the door forcefully.
"Sun Ying, I'm coming in," Zhang Meifeng asked.
Wang Baoshan is trying to come up with a solution, and he also needs to learn more about Sun Ying.
Upon hearing the sound, I quickly sat up straight.
Zhang Meifeng didn't wait for Wang Baoshan to speak before opening the door and coming in.
"Sun Ying, when did you get involved with Tao's? I've always been good to you. Now that you've made it big, why didn't you take me with you? And you're so tight-lipped, you didn't let a word out. If you had told me about your connections earlier, you wouldn't have needed General Manager Huang to provide you with resources." Zhang Meifeng became more and more angry as she spoke.
The person was always right under their noses when they first got involved with Tao.
I know absolutely nothing about this.
Wang Baoshan didn't say anything, he just stared at Zhang Meifeng.
I don't know how the two usually get along, but judging from the woman's attitude, their relationship isn't very good.
"Fine, fine, I can't afford to offend you either. You've made it big now, but you should keep a close eye on yourself, or you'll end up begging for your sister's help when everything falls apart." Zhang Meifeng felt uneasy under Wang Baoshan's gaze and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Pack your things, I'll take you to Tao's in a bit," Zhang Meifeng said impatiently.
Tao Ying returned immediately after making the call, worried that something unusual might happen if Wang Baoshan woke up, and Jiang Huan would have a hard time handling it alone.
When I arrived at the ward, all the doctors were there.
Wang Baoshan had woken up and answered the doctor's questions in a daze.
Although they didn't exchange a word, Tao Ying could still sense that this person's awkwardness was not that of her arrogant son.
Sun Ying realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her eyes. At the celebration banquet last night, Zhang Meili kept pushing her towards President Huang, and everyone kept pouring her drinks.
Actually, getting into the funding circle was not what Sun Ying wanted.
Because Sun Ying had no other way to make a living, her family wouldn't let her go to university, even though she had excellent grades; they didn't even let her finish junior high school.
If it weren't for the chance encounter with a talent scout, my father would have sold me long ago for the bride price.
But this is just jumping from one tiger's den to another wolf's den or snake's den.
Sun Ying actually didn't want to live anymore, because she knew that all her so-called persistence and efforts might turn into nothing.
It's simply impossible to live a completely clean life.
But when Sun Ying opened her eyes today, the luxurious hospital room, the handsome and energetic uncle beside her, and the busy doctors and nannies all felt extremely unfamiliar.
When have I ever been treated like this?
Also, it seemed like the people weren't calling him.
When the doctor sees that I'm not speaking, he'll ask me several times.
They didn't realize they were doing something wrong at the time.
Tao Ying silently walked to Jiang Huan's side, and after the doctor finished asking his questions, she asked the nanny to go out and buy things.
Tao Ying took the mirror and walked over, while Jiang Huan closed the ward door.
Tao Ying shoved the mirror in front of Sun Ying.
Sun Ying was initially surprised by their actions, but when she saw the person in the mirror, she exclaimed in surprise.
However, he had broken ribs and a fractured leg, and was unable to move.
But his eyes were full of fear.
I don't know what happened to me, and I don't dare to ask.
These two are clearly not ordinary people, and they should be aware of their own abnormality.
"Tell me, who are you?" Tao Ying put the mirror away and sat down to look at Sun Ying.
To be honest, it's really hard to be used to seeing such a feminine expression on my son's face.
For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder if these people really didn't recognize me when I came here.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sun Ying lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
I'm afraid that if I say something carelessly, it will cause other trouble.
"Sun Ying is going to accompany President Huang in three days," Tao Ying said abruptly.
Upon hearing the names Sun Ying and General Manager Huang, Sun Ying's already pale face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
Tao Ying keenly seized upon this flaw and was now 90% certain that the person was Sun Ying.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sun Ying lowered her head, not daring to look at Tao Ying.
"That's alright. I've already sent someone to find 'Sun Ying.' From now on, Sun Ying will be an artist under my management." Tao Ying smiled slightly, showing no sign of being in a hurry.
"What?" Sun Ying suddenly raised her head, looking at Tao Ying in disbelief.
I have a feeling this person is lying to me; how could it be so fast?
How could one possibly retrieve 'oneself' so quickly?
You should know that General Manager Huang was already impatient, and Zhang Meifeng was a heartless bastard who would never protect him.
Although Sun Ying is young, her childhood experiences have made her very cautious, which is why she is barely managing to maintain these things.
How could someone say it so casually?
That's a penalty of 50 million yuan for breach of contract. Who could have that much money? And even if they did, why would they pay it for themselves?
Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be worth that much money.
“This is my youngest son. I am Tao Ying from the Dow Group,” Tao Ying continued.
“I…I am Sun Ying.” Sun Ying hesitated for a long time before she finally spoke.
"I don't know why either." After saying this, Sun Ying couldn't help but shed tears.
"Then you should focus on recovering first. You can discuss what to do when Wang Baoshan comes back." Tao Ying could still tell that the girl had some ulterior motives.
But that's alright. A family with such a hellish background can't possibly be innocent and naive if they've managed to get to where they are today.
"Thank you, Ms. Tao." Sun Ying was completely bewildered and didn't even know who Tao Ying was.
Furthermore, these events have left Sun Ying feeling very conflicted and unable to accept them.
“I won’t let Wang Baoshan’s older brother or sister come over during this time. Only a nanny will take care of you. The nanny isn’t familiar with Baoshan, so calm down for a while,” Tao Ying said softly.
At times like these, it's hard for anyone to accept, just like when you were yourself.
Another condition they exchanged was that it wasn't raining or thundering that day; there was just a minor car accident.
But we can't simulate a car accident just to get it back, can we? What if someone actually dies?
Wang Baoshan quickly packed up, without taking much, just putting away his documents.
"You're wearing this? Sun Ying, do you think you're invincible just because you've hooked up with the Tao family? Let me tell you, the Tao family is run by a female boss. Do you really think the son of the Tao family can marry you? Don't you even know what kind of family you come from?" Zhang Meifeng was furious when she saw that 'Sun Ying' was only wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, without even a hat.
Wang Baomin looked down at himself and didn't think there was anything wrong with it; the previous 'Sun Ying' was wearing pajamas.
Wang Baoshan even changed his clothes, and he was very embarrassed when he put on his underwear, feeling like he was a hooligan.
However, Wang Baoshan had no desire to say a word to Zhang Meifeng, who was in a fit of impotent rage.
Because this is Sun Ying's life, Sun Ying's career.
It's not good to say anything casually, for fear that if I change it back later, it will cause trouble for others.
However, I understood what Sun Ying was saying, so I found another hat and put it on, pulling the brim down very low, and didn't choose to wear a mask.
That would be too deliberate; what normal person would wrap themselves up like a rice dumpling?
"If you curse me again, I'll curse you back." After putting on his hat, Wang Baoshan immediately retorted when he saw that Zhang Meifeng was about to curse him again.
This woman deserves to be taught a lesson; she's a typical bully who preys on the weak.
Moreover, they are adept at playing both sides, using anyone they can to their advantage and stepping on anyone they can step on.
"You've really grown wings." Zhang Meifeng swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She rolled her eyes, but still didn't dare to curse again.
The main problem is that no one knows what kind of luck Sun Ying had. But given a brief period of light, it would be easy for her to strangle herself.
Wang Baoshan didn't want to argue with Zhang Meifeng anymore, mainly because his head was still throbbing.
The car was already waiting downstairs. Wang Baoshan got in directly without even glancing at Zhang Meifeng.
