twenty one
Zhao Zhi was approached by the police at his company.
Even though he was confronted, Zhao Zhi wasn't afraid at all, insisting that he had misread the traffic light timings.
If a driver is distracted while driving, there is indeed a possibility that they might misread a green light.
One cannot convict someone based on this alone.
Yu Cheng received the news immediately and contacted Yu Hao. Yu Hao was very surprised, "Zhao Zhi hit Jian Yu with his car?"
“The police went there with the video, and my assistant has seen it. Zhao Zhi definitely did it on purpose. But Zhao Zhi is now denying it outright, insisting that he misread the green light.”
"Is Jian Yu alright?"
"It's alright, Jian Yu dodged it."
"It seems Zhao Zhi will be alright. In any case, go back and check on him."
Yu Cheng hurriedly left the hospital and rushed back to the company.
As soon as I arrived at the company entrance, I saw the police car leave.
Yu Cheng's assistant, Bai Jing, was waiting for him at the door. Upon seeing his car, she jogged over to report, "Mr. Yu, since no actual harm was caused, the case was closed as Zhao Zhi running a red light. Mr. Zhao has given a statement and was fined 200 yuan."
As Yu Cheng had expected, "I understand. Now, spread this matter quietly throughout the company, especially among the other shareholders. It must reach their ears."
"Yes." Bai Jing quickly thought of a few gossipy colleagues.
As they were walking, Yu Cheng's phone rang; it was Yu Hao.
It should be asking about the result.
After the call was connected, the result was told to Yu Hao.
Yu Hao was not surprised at all. "I've already got that video. Have your assistant send it to Xiao Zhao in the company. He's one of President Yang's men. President Yang is the third largest shareholder in the company, besides your aunt and Zhao Zhi. As long as he sees Zhao Zhi disregarding the law and acting impulsively without considering the consequences, he will be determined to remove him. In that case, it will be even harder for Zhao Zhi to persuade him."
Only after seeing the video with his own eyes did Yu Cheng realize how dangerous the situation had been.
Jian Yu is incredibly lucky to have escaped this situation.
After the police left, Zhao Zhi immediately instructed his secretary to issue a notice: the police came because he had mistakenly run a red light, and he was not allowed to spread rumors.
Zhao Zhi has been with the company for many years, and his prestige is genuine. If Yu Hao hadn't made his move against the other shareholders first, Zhao Zhi wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Even when in a passive position, Zhao Zhi still commands great respect among the company's employees.
Zhao Zhi underestimated the employees' gossip and the female employees' dissatisfaction with him because of Yu Ting's injury.
On the surface, the matter seems to be over. Those who haven't seen the video believe Zhao Zhi's explanation and genuinely think that he ran a red light and almost accidentally injured someone, which is why the police came to his door.
Bai Jing shared the video in a small group chat with a few colleagues. After watching the video, no one believed Zhao Zhi anymore.
The person who called the police glanced at the car several times before it accelerated and crashed into them.
Who would believe it if I said it wasn't intentional!
The company restrooms are the fastest place for gossip to spread. In just one or two hours, the news that Zhao Zhi deliberately hit someone with his car spread throughout the company.
Xiao Zhao, who always pays attention to gossip, saw the video immediately.
He had just caused his wife to be seriously injured and hospitalized because of his infidelity when his wife's family called the police, intending to run her over with their car.
Xiao Zhao rubbed his neck, feeling a chill on his skin. "Could you give me a copy of the video?"
Bai Jing had been waiting for him to say those words; almost as soon as he finished speaking, the video was transmitted.
As soon as Xiao Zhao left, Bai Jing sent a message to Yu Cheng: "The video has been sent to Xiao Zhao."
With today's stroke of genius, it will be much easier to help Yu Ting get the company back.
Jian Yu did help out in this matter.
During dinner, Yu Cheng asked Jian Yu, "Mom, is there any news about Jian Yu?"
Yu Hao put down his chopsticks and looked at Qi Yuexi. "I was just about to ask you, have you found Jian Yu yet?"
Qi Yuexi lowered her head, picked up a piece of beef, and stuffed it into her mouth expressionlessly. "Oh, still no news!"
Yu Hao gave her a deep look. "Really?"
Qi Yuexi pursed her lips and remained silent.
Yu Cheng sensed that Qi Yuexi's attitude was strange. He looked puzzled and asked, "Mom, why don't you want Jian Yu to come back?"
"When have I ever not wanted her to come back?" Qi Yuexi retorted.
Yu Cheng stared at her without saying a word.
Qi Yuexi felt uncomfortable under Yu Cheng's gaze. "He has a lot of work to do and needs some time."
Yu Cheng nodded. "I'll have someone go look for it!"
Qi Yuexi wanted to argue, but Yu Hao spoke up first, "Fine, let your classmate go. She's your sister after all. Even if she's not good, you can't just ignore her."
Yu Cheng said, "That's what I think too."
Yu Cheng felt that Jian Yu's previous poor living environment had limited his horizons, which was why he couldn't change his bad habits.
Although three years of homeschooling have failed to correct the problem, ignoring it will only make things worse.
When Qi Yuexi first learned that Jian Yu had taken a leave of absence from school, she thought about bringing Jian Yu back. She told Yu Yao about her idea while chatting with her.
Yu Yao said that Jian Yu's reckless act of threatening to drop out of school for a necklace was inappropriate.
Once Jian Yu is found, who knows what petty gains he might do next time.
Qi Yuexi thought it made sense, so she delayed.
Until today, because she indirectly helped him in the car accident, Yu Hao and Yu Cheng have begun to soften their hearts towards her.
Now they're not letting her get involved at all.
For the sake of Jian Yu, an outsider, her husband and son actually excluded her.
Qi Yuexi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and said irritably, "They took a huge sum of money and left home for months, living a life of unparalleled comfort. They're clearly in the same city, but they just won't come back. I wonder what kind of mischief they're up to!"
Yu Cheng often heard his family say these things to Jian Yu. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now it sounded rather jarring.
"Mom, Jian Yu is still young. We can't let her really wander the streets."
"Where did she wander off to? Have you forgotten how she extorted 500,000 yuan from your aunt? Who knows where she's living the high life now?"
Yu Cheng immediately fell silent.
The dining table became very quiet.
No one mentioned bringing Jian Yu back anymore.
That evening, Aunt Li came in to bring Yu Cheng some hot milk. "Young Master, here's your milk."
When Yu Cheng saw Aunt Li, for some reason, he suddenly asked, "Aunt Li, you know us the most. Do you think Jian Yu is suitable to be brought back?"
Aunt Li looked troubled. "Young Master, I can't say for sure either."
“Tell me your story! I always feel it’s not good to let Jianyu go out and learn bad things, but if we bring her back, Mom won’t be happy; besides, she extorted 500,000 yuan from Auntie. Auntie loves us so much, she’ll definitely be uncomfortable seeing her after she’s discharged from the hospital. How could she be so outrageous?”
Aunt Li opened her mouth, then hesitated, afraid of saying the wrong thing, and said, "I don't know either."
Yu Cheng looked at her seriously, "Go ahead and tell me! I've noticed you several times already. Every time Jian Yu is mentioned, your expression changes. Now that there's no one else around, tell me what happened."
Aunt Li didn't expect Yu Cheng to notice her reaction. She chuckled twice and said apologetically, "Young Master, let me just say this: do you really think that 500,000 yuan was extortion by Miss Jian?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Cheng felt a little confused and didn't understand what Aunt Li meant.
"How much did Miss Yu Ting usually give you in red envelopes? Was the biggest one when you won first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad? You were still in your senior year of high school then, and as soon as the results came out, many prestigious universities offered you admission, and your school even wanted to guarantee your admission. The master gave you a red envelope of five million, the husband also gave five million, and the wife and Miss Yu Ting each gave one million. Miss Yu Ting also gave you very expensive gifts. You have a Lego figure that Miss Yu Ting picked out for you at the factory when she went abroad for business. I remember it cost more than 700,000 at the time."
Yu Cheng listened quietly, and when he noticed Aunt Li had stopped, he pressed for an answer, "And then?"
"No matter how big the red envelope is from Miss Yu Ting, you all think it's normal, but Miss Jian received 500,000, so why is that not acceptable?"
"Huh?" This was the first time Yu Cheng had heard this kind of statement.
Aunt Li continued, "Miss Jian discovered that her son-in-law was having an affair and had an illegitimate child, so Miss Yu Ting gave her 500,000 yuan as a thank you. If you were the one who discovered these things, Miss Yu Ting would give you a gift afterwards, which would be extremely valuable; or she would give you a huge red envelope so you could buy a gift you like; she might even be willing to give you company shares."
Yu Cheng's hand gripped the table loosely, twisting unconsciously. He understood what Aunt Li meant.
In terms of social status, Jian Yu was the same as him. He could accept red envelopes from Yu Ting, and Yu Yao and Yu Ze could too, but Jian Yu could not.
Aren't we family?
Why is there such a large gap in treatment?
The difference is not only large, but the key issue is that everyone thinks it's normal.
By the same token, Jian Yu has no share in anything from their family.
yes!
He receives a gift from his aunt that is worth more than 500,000 yuan every day!
