Chapter 239 Paying Debts
After Shen Zhiyu finished his speech and stepped down from the stage, he was invited to the first row. He raised his eyes, his gaze passing through the sparse crowd and landing on the corner of the aisle in the back row.
——Zhou Yunjie was still sitting there, with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.
After confirming that everyone was still there, he slowly walked to the first row and sat down in the seat marked with his name.
The meeting proceeded smoothly. After the various reports and discussions concluded, the host announced the start of a free discussion session. Zhou Yunjie immediately closed his notebook and, seizing this rare opportunity, precisely contacted several influential resource representatives within the industry. After introducing himself, exchanging business cards, adding them on WeChat, he briefly discussed Yunding's current developments and future industry trends.
After getting to know them one by one, she felt that she had completed her task for today.
Looking at the new contact list on her phone, she no longer had the excitement she had when she first arrived. Instead, her mind was filled with what the lawyer and Yun Ni had just said.
After that, there was a dinner party, but she was not in the mood to attend it, so she sent a WeChat message to Shen Zhiyu and left the venue with her bag.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyu, who was talking with the director of the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau at the main table, suddenly heard the phone in his suit pocket vibrate. He smiled apologetically at the director, said sorry, and took out his phone.
The message that popped up on the screen made him frown slightly, and his originally calm expression instantly darkened a little.
"Zhiyu, is there something wrong?"
The Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau and Shen Zhiyu's father were schoolmates, so he was considered his elder, so the way he addressed him was more casual.
Shen Zhiyu smiled at the director and said, "It's indeed a small matter."
In such an occasion, the matter that would make Shen Zhiyu speak up would definitely not be a trivial one. The director patted his shoulder with understanding and said in a gentle tone, "Then get busy. You should think about arranging people to attend the subsequent promotion meeting."
Shen Zhiyu nodded, and after nodding to several leaders present, he strode through the crowd and left the venue.
All the way to the parking lot, Shen Zhiyu opened the car door and dialed Zhou Yunjie's number, but no one answered.
On the other side, Zhou Yunjie watched the name on the screen disappear before he looked out the window. In the thick night, thousands of lights shone, each one filled with indescribable emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
"Yunjie, what's wrong?" Wen Jingyi walked over and handed her daughter a cup of hot water. "You haven't said a word since you came back. Is it because work is not going well?"
Zhou Yunjie took the cup and shook his head. "Mom, Doctor Bai said your indicators are very good. You probably don't need surgery."
"I'm sorry for having to deal with my illness." Wen Jingyi looked at her frowning daughter and sighed, "It's all Mom's fault. I didn't protect anything except this house."
Zhou Yunjie felt a lump in her throat when she heard this. She didn't know how to tell her mother about Zhou Shaoxiong's sudden increase in debt, nor did she know how to explain that she had become his joint and severally liable person.
"Mom, do you hate him?"
Wen Jingyi sighed, "Hate it, how can I not hate it? I once gave so much for him, but ended up like this, how can I not hate it? That's why mom wanted you to marry Shen Zhiyu, because if one day there is no love, at least you still have money."
Zhou Yunjie was silent for a long time, and ultimately did not tell Wen Jingyi about the debt.
Zhou Shaoxiong's previous debts have been basically paid off by using several houses, jewelry and fixed assets in his family. The remaining debts are all ownerless and have not yet been claimed.
As for Xinglai's money, she needs to think about it before making any plans.
