Chapter 31: Parting on bad terms
"Of course. Our Zihao has real skills to be able to work in such a good company right after graduation. The benefits of that company are simply too good. Our Zihao has just joined and he can get so much money."
"Zihao also said that if he works for a few more months, your uncle and I can retire and stay at home. He will provide for us in our old age, so that we don't have to worry about other people's eyes anymore."
Hearing Yunjin's question, Wang Fengying spoke even more excitedly.
While speaking, Wang Fengying kept glancing at Zhang Guilan and Chen Zhi out of the corner of her eye, as if to say that she could rely on her son for support in her old age, while Zhang Guilan and Chen Zhi could only make a living by running their own fruit shop.
Yun Jin didn't care about the sarcasm in Wang Fengying's eyes. What she was thinking at this time was that Sun Min's husband Gao Yang also worked in Yongsheng and was said to be a manager.
If a newcomer like Chen Zihao can get a salary of 30,000 plus commission every month, how much should Gao Yang get at someone of his level?
If this is true, then Gao Yang was lying when he told Sun Min that he could only get 8,000 yuan a month.
Gao Yang was willing to lie to Sun Min even about such a thing. It was obvious that he was not really good to Sun Min. If Sun Min really gave birth to a child with such a man, her life would definitely be even more difficult in the future.
When Yunjin was speaking up for Sun Min, Wang Fengying continued to chatter in her ear.
Just when Yun Jin was about to say something to make Feng Fengying shut up, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and then Chen Zihao appeared at the door.
Seeing her beloved son coming, Wang Fengying immediately stopped talking and walked towards Chen Zihao.
While taking the briefcase from Chen Zihao, Wang Fengying pushed him in front of Old Lady Chen and said, "Zihao, wish your grandma a happy birthday!"
"Fengying, just let Zihao take a break. He is so tired from work, so don't make things difficult for him." Looking at her precious grandson, the expression on Grandma Chen's face was very kind.
Looking at the completely different attitude towards Chen Zihao, Yun Jin snorted in his heart and silently retreated to sit next to Zhang Guilan.
"Waiter, serve the food!" After Chen Zihao sat down, Wang Fengying immediately ordered the food to be served.
Seeing Wang Fengying treating Chen Zihao as the protagonist of today, Yun Jin just watched coldly. The real protagonist of today didn't say anything, so how could she, an outsider, say much?
As if noticing Yunjin's unhappiness, Zhang Guilan beside her gently squeezed Yunjin's hand which was placed under the table.
Yun Jin understood and shook her head at Zhang Guilan, indicating that it was nothing.
Yun Jin really didn't care about Old Lady Chen's partiality. After all, she didn't spend much time with Old Lady Chen.
Yunjin was speaking up for her mother. Her mother and Wang Fengying were both daughters-in-law of the Chen family, but they had always been treated unfairly.
Now, because of Chen Zihao, Mom’s days in the Chen family may become even more difficult.
If Chen Zhi had not been deeply in love with Zhang Guilan and had not always protected Zhang Guilan and Yunjin, Yunjin would never have agreed to her mother marrying into the Chen family.
Recalling the past, Yun Jin couldn't help but look at Zhang Guilan beside her. After seeing the other person's expression that also made her feel at ease, Yun Jin's heart calmed down a little.
"Zihao, your sister Yunjin doesn't believe that you can get so much salary every month. Please talk to her in detail." After the waiter brought up all the dishes, Wang Fengying deliberately brought up something irrelevant.
Hearing Wang Fengying say this, Yun Jin realized that she was trying to show off again, but in such an occasion, it was difficult for her to refuse.
Forget it, I'll just help Sun Min find out about Gao Yang's salary situation.
With this thought in mind, Yun Jin looked at Chen Zihao with a smile, signaling with his eyes for him to continue.
"Sister Yunjin, actually our monthly salary is not very high, probably only a few thousand yuan, and the bulk of it is sales commission."
Looking at Yunjin, Chen Zihao said embarrassedly.
Although he has parents like Chen Gang and Wang Fengying, Chen Zihao himself is not a bad person, which is why Yun Jin does not mind talking to Chen Zihao.
"Oh, so according to what you said, your commission is much higher than the regular salary, so the tax deducted every month must be quite a lot?" Yun Jin responded, aiming for the answer he wanted.
"Well, the commission is indeed much higher than the regular salary, but in order to reduce our tax deduction, the company only pays the regular salary into the public account, and the commission is paid from the personal account."
I don’t know if it was because it was time to go out into society, or because of his trust in his family, but Chen Zihao told Yunjin everything about the company’s fraud.
So that's how it is. No wonder Gao Yang could lie to Sun Min without being discovered.
"Zihao's company not only has good benefits, but also takes special care of its employees. We invested 1.5 million yuan in their company not long ago, and in less than a month, we have already received 10,000 yuan in interest."
Wang Fengying became more and more happy when she saw that Yunjin was very interested in Chen Zihao's company.
“So much interest?”
"Where did you get 1.5 million yuan to invest?"
Yun Jin's half-brother Chen Xiaotong and stepfather Chen Zhi said in unison.
At this moment, Wang Fengying realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she immediately shut up and stopped talking.
"Chen Gang, what about the investment funds that Fengying just mentioned?" Seeing that Wang Fengying stopped talking, Chen Zhi turned around and asked his younger brother Chen Gang.
Chen Gang looked at Old Mrs. Chen and said nothing.
"I gave them the money. What do you think?" Old Mrs. Chen spoke up to help Chen Gang and his wife.
"Mom, you only get so little pension every month, and every time someone gets sick, you have to ask me for money to buy medicine. Where do you get so much money to invest in them?"
Hearing what Old Lady Chen said, a bad premonition arose in Chen Zhi's heart. Staring at Old Lady Chen, Chen Zhi pressed on.
"I mortgaged my house." Old Mrs. Chen avoided Chen Zhi's gaze and answered.
"You mortgaged the house. When you bought the house, my family paid more than half of the money. Why didn't you ask Guilan and me for our opinion before you mortgaged the house?"
After confirming his guess, Chen Zhi asked with great sorrow.
Three years ago, the public housing where Mrs. Chen lived was taken back by the government. In order to give his old mother a place to live, Chen Zhi and Zhang Guilan discussed and took out their savings over the years, plus some of Mrs. Chen’s own savings, to help her buy a two-bedroom, two-living-room house.
In order to make Mrs. Chen feel at ease, Chen Zhi followed the other party's wishes and changed the account to Mrs. Chen's name.
Chen Zhi originally thought that after Mrs. Chen passed away, he and Zhang Guilan would move there, but he did not expect that the house would be mortgaged by Mrs. Chen without his knowledge.
The mortgaged money was also used by Chen Gang's family for investment.
"The house is in my name, so I have the right to decide where it belongs. Why are you yelling at me?" After hearing what Chen Zhi said, Old Lady Chen said impatiently.
"Grandma, most of the money for buying the house was paid by our family. How can my uncle Chen be considered as making a fuss by asking this?" Yun Jin said bluntly, dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen's attitude.
Seeing Yun Jin speaking, Old Lady Chen scolded: "This is our Chen family's business. It is not your turn as an outsider to comment here."
"If this house had nothing to do with my mother, I would definitely not say anything, but this house contains my mother's half-life's hard work, I can't just sit back and do nothing."
Ignoring Zhang Guilan's dissuasion, Yun Jin looked at Old Lady Chen and said indignantly.
"You just can't stand seeing us making money." Wang Fengying added fuel to the fire.
"I'm afraid that you won't make any money, but will lose the house instead. With such high interest rates, you can't even imagine the loss."
Turning to look at Wang Fengying, Yun Jin suppressed his anger and expressed his concerns.
"Mom, look at this damn girl, she's cursing us again. She just can't stand us making money and she wishes us bad things."
Wang Fengying took the opportunity to turn her attention to Old Mrs. Chen.
Ignoring Wang Fengying's provocation, Yun Jin looked at Chen Zihao and asked, "Zihao, you are a college student who has received an orthodox education. For such a high-interest investment, didn't you think about its legality in advance?"
"Sister Yunjin, I had my doubts before, but everyone in the company has invested money, so I dared to invest after seeing the situation."
Yun Jin's words made Chen Zihao feel a little embarrassed, and he began to defend himself.
"Don't target Zihao. The investment was our idea and has nothing to do with Zihao." Seeing Yun Jin questioning Chen Zihao, Chen Gang, who had been silent, spoke up.
At the side, Wang Fengying approached and said, "The money has already been invested, what else do you want to do?"
"You can withdraw the money even if you invested it. I'll give you a week to withdraw the money. Otherwise, we'll see you in court. Mom, Uncle Chen, Zitong, let's go!"
Yun Jin made some harsh remarks and pulled the others away.
It was a happy birthday party, but because of Wang Fengying's words, everyone left in a bad mood.
After Yun Jin and the others left, Chen Gang got angry at Wang Fengying and said, "It's all your fault. Why did you bring up the investment issue? Now it's turned out like this. Are you satisfied?"
Knowing that it was her fault, Wang Fengying looked at Chen Gang aggrievedly without saying a word.
"Alright, alright, don't blame Fengying. See you in court. That damn girl had the guts to say that. I'm Chen Zhi's biological mother. I don't believe he really dares to send me to court."
On the side, Old Lady Chen said in a firm tone.
