Chapter 17 Going with the Flow
"What? You want to say thank you too?" Feng Yu smiled and stood up straight. "I'm ready, come on."
Yan Songyu did want to say thank you, but seeing his forcedly relaxed smile, she hesitated, "I..."
"I was just saying that I appreciate it if you could keep an eye on things at the company for me lately, I need to go to the hospital for my check-in."
"Pfft~" Feng Yu chuckled at her "clocking in," "Do you get overtime pay?"
"Is five times enough?"
"I will dedicate myself to Ruixin to the utmost, not for the salary, but for the love I have for my work."
Yan Songyu watched him clown around with a smile, and went downstairs with Feng Yu. After thinking for a moment, she still voiced her concerns, "Really, it won't implicate you, will it? Chen Xu is an upright and incorruptible man. He'll pursue any clue he can get."
"Don't worry." Feng Yu looked relaxed and ruffled Yan Songyu's hair. "It was Xu Huanzhi's men who applied the brakes. If Captain Chen really finds out something, then we should thank him for helping us solve a big problem."
“Master Xu is not someone to be easily fooled.” Yan Songyu slapped Feng Yu’s hand away, still feeling somewhat worried.
“At most, Master Xu only has suspicions. Who can prove that we intentionally let it go? Besides…” Feng Yu paused before saying, “Master Xu doesn’t care about those nephews at all. He might even thank us for helping him clean up his own house.”
"It's hard to say. No matter how fierce the internal strife is within the Xu family, they should still be united in dealing with outsiders." Yan Songyu sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Aunt Liu immediately brought tea for the two of them. She took a sip before continuing, "The Xu family has only been cleansing their name for a few years, so it won't be easy to deal with them if they really want to."
Feng Yu shook his head. "Xu Huanzhi has no face under Fifth Master Xu. Fifth Master Xu is an illegitimate son who rose to power. He has always used an iron fist to suppress the other branches of the family. Otherwise, why would Xu Huanzhi take action against you because he failed to win the bid for Beidian Village? This was the key to his ability to gain a foothold in Jinhe Group. Now that you have cut off his hopes, he is naturally unwilling to accept it."
"An illegitimate child?" Yan Songyu was shocked by this sudden bombshell. "Wasn't Fifth Master Xu's child born to his first wife late in life?"
"No, Master Xu's mother was a pearl diver. She rescued Master Xu's father at sea and was tricked into giving birth to the child. She then suffered a massive hemorrhage and died. Master Xu was taken back and raised as the late-life son of his first wife."
"Well, another family feud." Yan Songyu sighed, then felt relieved. The Yan family was truly a rare clean and harmonious family in Haishi. However—"How did you know? This is quite a secret. I've never heard of it before."
"I met Master Xu by chance before, and we've kept in touch from time to time. Our relationship is pretty good."
Upon hearing Feng Yu's words, Yan Songyu also remembered that in her previous life, after Feng Yu established Huasheng Group, his first collaboration seemed to be with Jin He, and Xu Wuye seemed to be one of Huasheng's shareholders.
"By the way, Feng Yu, have you ever thought about leaving Ruixin and going solo?"
Are you trying to get rid of me?
"No, I just feel that you've been wasting your talents by serving as the general manager of Ruixin."
After all, he developed Washington so well in his previous life.
“Ruixin means a lot to me. You and Uncle Yan both trust me a lot. I don’t feel wronged here, and besides…”
Ring ring—
Feng Yu's words were interrupted by the incoming call, so he had no choice but to answer the phone, "Hello."
"Yes, that's me."
"Okay, thank you!"
"Did the hospital call?" Yan Songyu asked before Feng Yu could speak.
"Yes, the caregiver said that Jiang Chengli just woke up, but quickly fell asleep again. The doctor has already done a check-up and he is out of danger."
Yan Songyu nodded and stood up. "You go back to the company. Continue to follow up on the Beidian Village project. I'm going to the hospital to check on things. I also need to pick up Feifei later."
On the way to the hospital, Yan Songyu sat in the back seat with her eyes closed, thinking about whether there were any loopholes in their plans during this period.
In the previous life, Xu Huanzhi obtained the Beidian Village project. He planted a spy in Ruixin, which caused Ruixin to lose to Jinhe in the bidding with a mere ten thousand yuan.
Although Feng Yu later discovered the spy, he could only let him go unpunished due to insufficient evidence.
After gaining real power in Jinhe through the Beidian Village project, Xu Huanzhi repeatedly provoked Yan Songyu, but Yan Songyu retaliated against each of his provocations. The two became increasingly hostile to each other. However, just when Yan Songyu thought that Xu Huanzhi was about to make a big move, he suddenly had a car accident. He survived but was paralyzed from the waist down and could only lie in bed forever.
Later, it was discovered that the murderer was Xu Huanzhi's cousin, Xu Minzhi. After hearing Feng Yu's words today, she realized that Xu Minzhi was probably just a scapegoat.
In this life, Yan Songyu allowed the project team's spies to sell information to Xu Huanzhi, quietly collected all the evidence, and finally won the bid for Beidian Village with a price 1 yuan higher than Jinhe's.
"Mr. Xu, you flatter me."
During the handshake, Yan Songyu casually uttered a sentence that sounded like a provocation to Xu Huanzhi.
1 yuan!
Damn it!
She did it on purpose!
She already knew about his plan!
Xu Huanzhi's eyes were filled with gloom. "Young Master Yan, don't laugh too soon."
Yan Songyu knew that he was about to make his move.
Xu Huanzhi looks thin and weak, like a pretty boy, but his inner self is quite different from his appearance. He has always disagreed with the Xu family's attempt to whitewash their image. He has little talent in business, prefers to solve problems with violence, is ruthless, and cannot tolerate provocation. The constant suppression by Fifth Master Xu has left him with a lot of resentment that he has nowhere to vent.
He had planned to take action against Yan Songyu in his previous life, but he got into trouble first.
Now, this is exactly what she wanted.
She never intended to spend her life on someone like Jiang Chengli, but going with the flow, who can say she wasn't wrong? She was just a victim too.
"Miss, we've arrived at the hospital," the driver reminded her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li. You still have to pick up Feifei from school later. Uncle Li, why don't you find a place to rest nearby?"
"Okay, please feel free to call me if you need anything."
Yan Songyu carried the thermos prepared by Aunt Liu into the hospital.
Jiang Chengli has been transferred from the ICU to a regular ward, and the doctor is currently examining him.
"Ms. Yan, you've arrived."
"Dr. Qi, how is my husband?"
Yan Songyu's eyes reddened as soon as she spoke; who wouldn't say that she was deeply affectionate and righteous?
“Mr. Jiang’s condition has stabilized, so you don’t need to worry anymore.” Dr. Qi glanced at the thermos in her hand and reminded her, “Mr. Jiang can only eat 48 hours after the surgery, and he can drink water 12 hours later.”
"Oh, okay." Yan Songyu handed the thermos to the caregiver. "Thank you for your hard work. Here, have some soup."
"Thank you, Miss Yan."
Yan Songyu nodded slightly, just then noticing Jiang Chengli's slightly twitching eyelids. She excitedly grabbed Dr. Qi's sleeve, "Dr. Qi, my husband is awake!"
