Chapter 2180 Meng Yunzheng and His Connection
Shu Yu was still completely confused. She tugged at Meng Yunzheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
The latter explained to her, "Manager Yun was originally the manager of the Gong family's shop. He caught Gong Qiu's eye entirely on his own abilities. His shop grew bigger and bigger, but unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of others. Back then, Gong Chang tried to win him over, but not only did he fail, Manager Yun also discovered that he was secretly lending money at exorbitant interest rates. Manager Yun told Gong Qiu about this, and Gong Qiu reprimanded Gong Chang and covered up the matter of lending money at exorbitant interest rates. Originally, this matter would have been over, but Gong Qiu was narrow-minded and suspected that Manager Yun would use this as leverage to leak information that would be detrimental to the Gong family. So he tried every means to get rid of Manager Yun."
Meng Yunzheng had always had someone keep an eye on Gong Chang.
He knew about Gong Chang's loan sharking, but it was just a small-scale operation. Meng Yunzheng was still in a period of dormancy, and this kind of thing wouldn't bring down Gong Qiu, so he didn't need to expose himself.
Later, Gongqiu plotted to harm Manager Yun, and Meng Yunzheng also learned of this.
Manager Yun is a good person, and Gong Qiu is ruthless. He doesn't just want to harm Manager Yun, but his whole family.
Meng Yunzheng gave Manager Yun a heads-up beforehand, and then arranged for the family of three to travel together. While the people from Gongqiu were tampering with the carriage, they pretended to fall off a cliff and faked their deaths to escape.
Afterwards, Meng Yunzheng handed over the Yun family of three to Xiang Weinan, asking him to help find them some work.
The Xiang family was quite wealthy and also owned businesses in other places.
So they sent Manager Yun away from the capital, to change his name and manage one of the Xiang family's shops.
Manager Yun was quite capable. Three years ago, after Gong Qiu was beheaded, Xiang Weinan transferred the family of three back to the capital and restored their household registration.
Now, under Manager Yun's three years of management, this shop in the capital is not only thriving, but has also become Xiang Weinan's benefactor.
Shu Yu suddenly realized why Xiang Weinan was so angry yesterday when she said that the idea of asking him to find a shopkeeper was A Yun's. It turned out that he thought A Yun wanted him to return the God of Wealth.
Shu Yu chuckled softly, then looked up to examine Yun Qide.
The latter seemed to sense her gaze, looked at her, slightly cupped his hands, and appeared respectful yet humble.
Shu Yu instantly developed a liking for him.
Upon hearing Meng Yunzheng's explanation, Xiang Weinan immediately wanted to back out.
But it was too late. Meng Yunzheng said directly, "Manager Yun has been your manager for several years, and you must have made quite a bit of money. One should be kind and honest; money is just an external thing. But my son Ayu is in trouble now. As his older brother, shouldn't you lend a helping hand?"
Shu Yu immediately put on a pitiful look, as if to say, "Yes, I am in a difficult situation right now. I have no other choice. I am desperate."
Xiang Weinan, "..." They were in cahoots.
But Meng Yunzheng was right. He understood Shu Yu's current situation and also understood Meng Yunzheng's plans. Since the couple wouldn't be in the capital anymore, he would have to keep an eye on their shop there.
Putting aside the fact that Shu Yu had taken care of Xiao Ruojun before, just two days ago, she brought them some life-or-death news, saving the lives of his wife and child. He had to repay her properly.
Well, since the person has already been brought along, and Manager Yun is happy to do so, why should he play the villain? Let's just... return it to its rightful owner.
