Chapter 167: Hitting Someone
When you have no money, it is difficult to maintain even the most basic living needs, and you are powerless to fight back when you are bullied.
The days of poverty and humiliation at that time were almost suffocating.
That memory was so deep and so heavy that throughout her life, whenever she thought about repeating the same mistake, she would feel a deep fear in her heart.
In this life, she finally had some savings and a small business. Although it was not large, it was all earned by her hard work.
She cherishes it very much.
These are not only her confidence, but also the foundation for her to regain her footing and change her destiny.
She didn't want to go back to her old life of being poor and having nothing.
She didn't want to be thrown back to square one by fate and face the embarrassment of not being able to afford food again.
You want her to lose face, not hesitate, risk everything, cut off all her escape routes, and just give it a try?
This approach simply didn't work for her.
She couldn't do it, she couldn't bear the consequences.
It's not that she doesn't have ruthlessness, but she knows better that sometimes the most dangerous thing is not the enemy, but her own desperate gamble.
Therefore, she could only slowly look for a safe way out, a way to preserve the property she had worked so hard to save while protecting the small business she was currently running.
It's not that she is indecisive, but she understands that she can't afford to lose now.
In the final analysis, it is because they are weak, have no one to support them, and no one to back them up that they can be manipulated at will, moved around like chess pieces, and even killed at will.
And Weiwei said that she could go find Erye, which gave her an idea.
She knew that the biggest problem facing her was Gao Zeyu, the second young master of the manor owner.
His backer is the Gao family estate, which has a very strong background.
She knew very well that with her current strength, it was impossible for her to go head-to-head with a behemoth like the manor.
Just like a small insect, how can it possibly hit a big tree?
She had no idea how much trouble she might get into if she angered the manor. Perhaps it would be an overwhelming commercial ban, making it impossible for her to move forward in this circle. Perhaps it would not only be a career problem, but even her personal safety could not be guaranteed.
Because of this, she didn't dare to provoke the manor easily.
It's not about being afraid, but about going forward even though you know you can't win. That's not bravery, that's stupidity.
However, an idea suddenly occurred to her - is the manor really a solid block?
It seems to be as stable as a rock and without any flaws, but is there no place inside it where we can attack?
Is there really no loophole or opportunity to leverage?
She was sure there must be one, she just hadn't discovered it before.
In the past, she was too focused on her career to pay serious attention to these things.
In the past, she was only interested in making more money and was busy managing her own business and connections. She had no extra energy to care about other people's affairs, and she knew nothing about the inside story of the manor.
She just felt that it was a huge monster that she couldn't afford to offend, so she tried not to touch it.
But after this experience, she realized that she had thought too simply at the time.
If she wants to continue on this path, she not only needs to know how to make money, but also needs to understand more.
The most important thing for her now is not anything else but to obtain as much and detailed information as possible.
After much deliberation, she finally made up her mind. She turned to Weiwei and asked, "Can we find someone who specializes in spreading gossip inside the manor and is the most vicious?"
Weiwei was obviously stunned for a moment, her eyes widened in surprise as she asked back, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Shen Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up and replied, "I really want to know what happened in the manor now, and the more detailed the better. As long as it is related, the more specific the better."
Weiwei frowned after hearing this, lost in thought for a moment, then slowly said, "There were indeed a few people like this in the past, specifically looking for information and then spreading it everywhere. But a few days ago, the ones who spread the most rumors were all fired by the manor."
When Shen Yan heard this, she slapped her thigh and said, "Yeah, how could I forget about this!"
Yes, those people were fired because they talked too much and spread too much.
Moreover, it was Gao Zeyu who personally ordered the dismissal!
An idea struck her, and she immediately asked Weiwei, "Can we ask their former colleagues? See where they are now? Can we find out where they live now?"
Now that they have been driven out of the manor, they naturally will no longer be afraid of the rules of the manor, and without any scruples, they should be able to speak freely.
Weiwei blinked, nodded, and said, "I'll ask around."
Chen Yan then asked her to help find out where those people were now.
In addition, she asked Weiwei to help contact Fu Yajing, wanting to invite her to dinner, and arranged it for that evening.
She especially wanted to know some things about Wei Jie from Fu Yajing.
Wei Jie, that person seems to be impeccable and does everything flawlessly, but does he really have no weaknesses?
Of course not!
Anyone who is a human being will have something to hold against them, but she just hasn't discovered it yet.
As long as she could find something to hold against him, she wouldn't have to worry about him doing anything behind the scenes.
By then, he has to settle the bill for the magic floor project!
In addition to Wei Jie, she also couldn't miss any information about the manor.
Not only did she want to learn more about the master's family's internal information, but there was also a question she really wanted to understand.
That is, why did Gao Moli insist on her getting close to the third master of the Gao family?
You know, Gao Moli is not someone who is short of money.
Moreover, she has now been promoted to the position of assistant housekeeper in the manor, and her status can be said to be very high among the general employees.
If Gao Moli wanted to seek greater power and a higher position, then she should work hard and climb up to enter the main family circle.
Instead of letting Shen Yan take her place and get close to the Third Master of the Gao family.
Why is this?
She really wanted to know what Gao Moli was trying to achieve.
She really didn't understand. She had been very polite to her, even too tolerant in some places, but why did she still want to cause trouble for her and even hurt her?
She couldn't figure it out.
Does Gao Moli want to take revenge on her, or does she have other intentions?
She was full of doubts and always felt that there must be some hidden secret behind Gao Moli, otherwise she would not do such extraordinary things again and again.
Only by figuring out her true motives can she come up with a countermeasure.
She knew that if she didn't figure out the other party's true intentions as soon as possible, she would probably be led by the nose. If she responded passively at that time, she would be the only one to suffer.
Therefore, she must be prepared in advance and understand the other party's motives and purposes so that she can counterattack the other party and protect herself.
She was very clear about this, and it made her more determined to find out the truth.
After Weiwei found out, she also made an appointment with Fu Yajing.
