Chapter 199: Going Through the Moment with Empty Hands



Although I had this suspicion in my heart, I didn't say a word to Qiu Qiu.

I don't want Qiu Qiu to worry, and I'm also afraid that if Qiu Qiu investigates too closely, Yuan Yaxin will find out and point the finger at her.

But Qiu Qiu was furious. He pulled the laptop over and shouted angrily, "No! I can't let Yuan Yaxin get so proud! I have to find out who's behind her!"

I didn't stop Qiu Qiu and let her investigate.

If we can find out her background, even if we can't do anything to her for the time being, at least we will have some precautions and can prepare in advance.

If the power behind Yuan Yaxin is truly extraordinary, then even if Qiu Qiu investigates, he probably won't find anything.

An hour later, Qiu Qiu found nothing.

She held her computer, a bewildered look on her face, lost in self-doubt: "Is my technology too poor? Why can't I even find Yuan Yaxin's work history in the United States?"

I wasn't surprised at all, and I consoled Qiu Qiu: "It's not that there's a problem with your ability. Someone must be helping her deliberately conceal her past, and their methods are much more sophisticated."

Qiu Qiu was so angry that she sought help from a technical expert she knew, who was determined to help me find out who was backing Yuan Yaxin.

I became more thoughtful. No wonder I couldn't find any information about Lu Zhiyuan and Yuan Yaxin's past in the United States before. It must have been deliberately hidden.

If there really is a powerful force behind Yuan Yaxin, it also means that if I want to bring Yuan Yaxin down, it would be like an egg hitting a stone, and I would be courting death.

Zhu Lin was fired, Fang Guoxu returned to his post to continue his security work, and Yuan Yaxin was still the director of the sales department and was not affected at all by this incident.

I remembered Han Zicang's advice and did not bother Yuan Yaxin. I focused on leading the second sales department to develop the real estate business and was also very busy coordinating the Huake real estate project.

At noon that day, I received a message from Lu Zhiyuan, informing me of the time and place of Lu Jing's birthday party.

Lu Jing, who wanted to have a lively party at home, couldn't resist Zhao Xian after all, so he set the birthday party at the hotel on a weekend so that it would be convenient for everyone to attend.

After seeing this, I did not respond to express whether I would participate or not.

What I originally told Lu Zhiyuan was “come over when you have time”.

But then Lu Zhiyuan sent me another message: "On the day of the birthday party, I will drive to Qiu Qiu's house to pick you up."

Lu Zhiyuan's eagerness for my attendance always made me feel that he had other motives.

Was he tired of Yuan Yaxin and wanted to take this opportunity to hint at her? Or was he trying to save the Lu family's reputation and avoid being talked about?

Thinking about what Lu Zhiyuan said to me in the staff cafeteria of Huake, I don’t know how much truth there was in those affectionate words.

If he wants to act, then I might as well play along with him to the end. I also want to see what his real purpose is.

I simply replied, "No need, I'll go there myself when I'm done."

Lu Zhiyuan only replied with two words: "Okay."

Looking at these two words, I seemed to see his lost look.

I immediately cleared my mind of distracting thoughts and focused on my work.

Lu Jing’s birthday party was coming soon. I originally wanted to go out and buy a gift just to go through the motions, but then I thought of the cheongsam incident last time, and I finally stopped.

There's no need to prepare a gift. Zhao Xian will be picky about whatever gift I give her anyway.

Yuan Yaxin must have spent a lot of time and effort preparing in advance. The things I bought at the last minute are bound to be outdone by hers and become a reason for Zhao Xian to mock me.

Zhao Xian and I have long since fallen out, so there's really no need to waste money buying expensive gifts for the Lu family to save face.

On Saturday, I arrived at the hotel empty-handed.
