Chapter 91
When Meng Youyou came out of Meng Jinyu's office, her brows were still slightly furrowed.
Her mother didn't tell her who was behind the sabotage, she just said it was healthy competition in the business world and it wouldn't be a big deal.
But how could it not be a hindrance?
"The order fair prepared by President Meng will be held next month. She specially asked several female colleagues in the company to practice their manners so that they can go on stage to showcase the latest season's clothing. I heard that she also invited a singer to build momentum for the opening of the brand's exclusive store that day. The store alone is more than 1,000 square meters and is located on the most prosperous Anhua Street. After this wave of development, our company will definitely develop better and better."
"But during this period, orders were often cancelled. Those were large orders. The losses caused should be incalculable for us. I don't know if Mr. Meng can survive this difficult time."
"I think there will be no problem! We have seen President Meng's courage over the years since we joined the company. I heard that she came from a small village in Jiangcheng. She came from nothing but has everything she has now. It must not be just luck. It's okay. We have to have confidence in President Meng."
The two female colleagues were walking and chatting, and only then did they see Meng Youyou out of the corner of their eyes.
She was standing not far away, watching them quietly, as if she was listening with great interest.
Although they didn't say anything bad just now, they were talking about the boss behind his back after all, and the two female colleagues' faces turned red all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Meng Youyou didn't say much, but just asked them what practicing etiquette was about.
"It's like this. President Meng hopes to turn our order fair into a small fashion show on the opening day of the specialty store. But funds are tight recently. We originally hired models, but who knew they would increase their prices at the last minute. President Meng can only put this idea aside for the time being and let several young and beautiful female colleagues in the company practice and then go on stage to show."
"But after all, no one has any experience on stage, and now it's a mess. President Meng is busy recently, and I heard that he wants to find a professional model to lead everyone and give them lessons."
"Where are they? I'll go see." Meng Youyou said.
"In the conference room, President Meng has already gone there." the other party said.
Several female colleagues were specially selected by Meng Jinyu. During the ordering meeting, they went directly on stage to show off their new clothes and just walked around in them. It was not difficult and did not require too many professional skills.
But having said that, at least the performance has to be acceptable. If everyone is timid on the stage, the costumes will definitely not get any extra points.
Following what the two female colleagues said, Meng Youyou found the vacant space left by Meng Jinyu for everyone to practice.
That was the company's conference room. The conference table and chairs had been moved away. Several female colleagues stood there stupidly, listening to what Meng Jinyu said.
"The order fair is not a fashion show, it's just something similar to a fashion show. You don't need to perform exceptionally well, but you have to stand up straight, hold your head high, and walk out with confidence."
"When you wear our brand's clothes, you have to show the advantages of the clothes, not the disadvantages. Take this dress for example, the design of the suspender skirt is to highlight the line of the shoulders, but if you hide your chest, how can it impress the manufacturer?"
"Mom." Meng Youyou spoke, interrupting Meng Jinyu.
"Youyou, haven't you gone home yet?" Meng Jinyu came back to her senses and asked.
Meng Youyou walked forward and said with a smile: "Mom, you are so busy, leave this to me."
Meng Jinyu originally wanted to do it herself, but when her daughter repeatedly emphasized that she was no longer a child and that she did have a lot of stage performance experience, she felt at ease to hand over the task to her.
Seeing Meng Jinyu turn around and leave, several female colleagues immediately relaxed.
Of course they knew that the little girl in front of them was Mr. Meng's daughter, but they could tell at a glance that she was very young, with a soft smile on her face, and looked like someone who was easy to talk to, so no one took her seriously.
"Xiao Lin, shall we go to the movies later? A romantic movie was just released recently. My friend went to see it and said it was very good. It stars the hero and heroine from the most popular TV series. They made that movie before they became famous. I thought that not many people would watch it, but I didn't expect that once the TV series became popular, tickets for the movie were hard to come by."
"Really? Then can we buy tickets? Do we need to queue up in advance?"
"Of course not. Have you forgotten that my dad works in a movie theater and is responsible for the projectionists? My dad is on duty today, so we can sneak in quietly."
The two female colleagues were not very old and were talking to each other, looking very excited.
At this time, a fair-skinned girl gently reminded: "Boss Meng asked us to stay and practice."
When Xiao Lin heard this, she walked up to Meng Youyou, reached out to pull the corner of her clothes, and said in a familiar tone: "Your name is Youyou, right? Youyou, let's not practice today, let's go to the movies, okay?"
As she finished her words, she was sure in her heart that Youyou would agree.
After all, the little girl is like a little lamb. She is not aggressive at all and would never reject me.
But who knew that Meng Youyou would just calmly say, "No."
Xiao Lin was stunned: "What?"
"The order fair will be next month. If you want to perform on stage, you must do your best. If you don't want to perform, you can ask for it now. If you like to watch movies, go ahead and watch as many movies as you want."
When Meng Youyou said this, her tone rose, but her voice was still soft and gentle.
But the people present were not stupid. They knew that if they continued to be careless, they would definitely offend the boss's daughter.
Xiao Lin's face turned red: "Movie... I can watch it next time."
This company pays well and seems to have great development prospects. It would be a mistake to quit my job just to watch a movie.
"Then everyone change your clothes and let's start now." Meng Youyou said with a smile.
Several female colleagues were a little unconvinced at first, but after Meng Youyou began to help them adjust things step by step, they gradually calmed down.
Meng Youyou has never been on stage to show off her costumes, but she does have some experience in stage performances. She can explain everything from facial expression management to posture and detailed analysis of hand movements.
All the girls here are in their early twenties. After their standing and striding postures were corrected, they could feel that their personal temperament had been improved. Naturally, they became more interested and no one was in a hurry to go home.
After a few hours of practice, everyone was able to walk properly, with their backs no longer hunched and their steps becoming more confident.
"Youyou, you spoke so well, as if you really learned a lesson." Ling Xiaoqin said.
Meng Youyou has a good impression of this fair and quiet female colleague. During practice, she and another girl named Xie Junjun were the only ones who didn't chatter, which made them feel down-to-earth.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Lin stood aside, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, and touched his nose: "I..."
Meng Youyou raised her head and said with a smile, "After the order meeting is over, I will treat everyone to a movie."
Xiao Lin's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down.
It seemed that the little girl was very generous and didn't intend to make a fuss with me.
…
Anyway, the school is in Beijing, so when Meng Youyou has nothing to do after class, she will go to Meng Jinyu's company.
Meng Jinyu also found it strange that several previously lazy female colleagues were suddenly completely subdued by her daughter. Not only were they very motivated during practice, they also kept their backs straight when working in the company.
In this way, the problem of catwalk show at the order fair was solved.
At the same time, Meng Jinyu began to deal with the problem of several previous large orders being suddenly cancelled.
Having been in this business for a long time, she has been cooperating with only a few manufacturers. She had only recently received several foreign trade orders, and had never cooperated with them before. She called the sales manager and asked about the situation.
The sales manager looked calm and pushed all the responsibility onto the foreign trade company, saying that most of the cooperation was just verbal and the company had already started preparing goods before the contract was signed.
"Boss Meng, this is my negligence, but the most important thing now is to get through this difficult time for our company. I will definitely take good care of it in the future and will not let the same thing happen again."
Meng Jinyu looked at him and sneered: "You've already said all the words, what else can I say?"
The sales manager usually saw Meng Jinyu as being easy-going, but when he saw her suddenly frown, he immediately said awkwardly, "Boss Meng, I will definitely make amends, and then..."
"You should tell the police about this." Meng Jinyu stood up and said in a serious tone, "During this period, you really have been busy in our company. You stole the customer's contact information and the company's internal production process. You did so many things to let someone snatch the order, right? You stole the contact information and special production technology, and then deliberately sold it to outsiders at a lower price. How could you not lose the order?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Chen from the Sales Department's pupils dilated dramatically.
His legs went limp, and he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Manager Meng, I don't know, I just wanted to make more money... A few months ago, my wife died in childbirth, and the doctor said that the child was probably compressed in the womb, and because the amniotic fluid was turbid at the time, it would affect the child. My daughter will have certain intellectual problems when she grows up... My parents are old and are now at home taking care of my child. If I don't make more money, then..."
"You don't have to beg for mercy from me." Meng Jinyu said coldly, "Everyone has a hard time, but just because you have a hard time doesn't mean you have to break the law and make a profit through despicable means. You have reached the manager level in this industry. The Anti-Unfair Competition Law, which was just passed this year, contains the concept of trade secrets. Have you never understood it, or are you just hoping to take advantage of it?"
Manager Chen was so frightened that he trembled and shook his head vigorously, begging Meng Jinyu to let him go.
However, although Meng Jinyu was soft-hearted, she knew what should be severely punished and what should be shown mercy.
"I have collected evidence for three consecutive cases. After returning the stolen goods and paying compensation, you will be given a light sentence. Maybe when you are released, you won't have to miss your child's childhood."
Manager Chen collapsed all over.
He had not been in the company long, and although he had seen Meng Jinyu's swift and decisive methods, he still looked down on her in his heart, thinking that the female comrade was short-sighted and just had good luck in the 1980s when gold was everywhere, and that was why she had everything she has today.
He was very careful with these orders and had intended to extort more money from the company before the end of the year, but who knew that he would be caught.
"You did all these things, was there someone behind you instigating you?" she asked again, "The model asked for a price increase at the last minute, was that also something you did behind my back?"
Manager Chen didn't even think about it and shook his head vigorously: "No, no one instigated me."
"Mr. Meng, can you please let me go?" When he spoke again, his face was pale and his eyes were full of pleading.
Meng Jinyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't report it to the police. You go and turn yourself in."
Manager Chen thanked her repeatedly, stood up with the help of the wall, and walked out of Meng Jinyu's office step by step.
After returning to his office, he wiped his tears while packing his personal belongings, and finally stopped his hand on a pocket watch.
On it was a photo of his dead wife.
When the wife was pregnant, they held hands and imagined a beautiful future for the two of them.
They said that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they must provide the child with the best education and take good care of the child when he or she grows up.
But now, his wife is gone and he is going to jail.
Manager Chen's eyes turned red again. He sat at his desk and made a phone call: "As long as I take full responsibility, can you guarantee to take good care of my parents and daughter?"
But he didn't notice that at this moment, a figure flashed past the window.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on Meng Jinyu's office door.
"Mr. Meng, you guessed right. Manager Chen was indeed secretly making a phone call, but he closed the door, so it's unclear who he was calling."
…
Roommates in the dormitory all know that Meng Youyou has been very busy lately. She is either studying for dance competitions or training the employees at her mother's company in catwalk training.
Ye Aidi didn’t want to trouble Meng Youyou at first. Changing the name was not a big deal anyway, and she could go to the police station when she was free. But unexpectedly, even though she was so busy, Meng Youyou still took time out to accompany her to the police station after the last get out of class in the afternoon.
"Youyou, this will take up too much of your time." Ye Aidi said embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I wanted to accompany you at such an important time." Meng Youyou smiled and took Ye Aidi's arm. "Let's go."
Ye Aidi's cheeks were red, and her heart beat faster when she thought that she would have a new name soon.
Meng Youyou knew that she was both excited and nervous, so she chatted with her about some light topics. The two of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the police station.
The comrades at the police station had received a call from Director Gu early in the morning, and the director came out personally to arrange for his subordinates to handle the procedures for Ye Aidi.
This was a procedure that complied with the rules and regulations. With a director watching over it, it was completed quickly.
When she came out of the police station, Ye Aidi still felt confused.
"Youyou, did I really change my name? Not Ye Aidi anymore?"
"Of course, your name is Ye Lan now, and you will be called Ye Lan from now on." Meng Youyou put her arm around her shoulders and encouraged her, "The name Ye Aidi represents the past, but from the fact that you are determined to get into Jingshi University, it's clear that what happened in the past can't hold you back, right?"
Ye Aidi was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
In the past, everyone in the village would call her "Aidi" when they saw her. At that time, she didn't know that her name had such a deep meaning. It was not until her younger brothers were born one after another and her parents and grandparents were grinning from ear to ear that she realized that no one cared about her existence.
They just hope that she can love her younger brothers.
"Yes, I will study hard, work hard, and get a good job in a good company, leaving my family far behind." She murmured, "Ye Lan, Ye Lan... From now on, I will be called Ye Lan!"
Meng Youyou smiled and said, "It's such an interesting experience to be able to name yourself. Ye Lan, how did you come up with this name for yourself?"
Ye Lan's cheeks were red. "Do you know Professor Ning from the Department of Literature? Her name is Ning Lan. I have admired her since I first entered school."
"You are talking about Sister Ninglan." Meng Youyou blinked.
Ye Lan was shocked: "Youyou! There is no one from anywhere that you don't know!"
Ye Lan wanted to thank Youyou and said she would treat her to a meal.
Meng Youyou pointed to a small noodle restaurant on the side of the road.
After entering the noodle shop, Ye Lan ordered a bowl of noodles with plenty of toppings for her, and the two talked about Ning Lan.
Meng Youyou started by talking about how Ning Lan and her mother made clothes together, then talked about how she was admitted to university, gradually became a graduate student, and then continued her further studies, only avoiding the relationship experience related to Ning Lan's sister.
Ye Lan listened without blinking, and became even more convinced that Professor Ning Lan was her role model and that her current achievements were the goals she had been striving for.
"Did you know that Professor Ning Lan is also very good at writing? I heard from my classmates in the Department of Literature the other day that a publishing house has asked her to write an article for a book!"
"By the way, I was thinking..." Ye Lan was still excited when she came out of the noodle shop. But suddenly, she saw Meng Youyou paused. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Meng Youyou's gaze fell on a figure not far away.
She met him when she was in her teens. His name was Wu Deyao.
Wu Deyao stood on the side of the road, holding a cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He has been back in Beijing for exactly half a year.
Until now, Wu Deyao still remembers everything that happened.
At that time, Gao Jingqing filed for divorce from him and asked him to leave the house with nothing.
Of course he was unwilling to accept this, but he did not expect that a few months later, Ruan Wenwen would be arrested.
At that time, he was afraid of being implicated. Although the police investigation had confirmed that he had nothing to do with the poisoning case, Ruan Wenwen was biting people everywhere like a mad dog. If she insisted on framing him, would he be able to prove his innocence?
Such worries gradually dissipated only after Ruan Wenwen was shot.
Later, when Wu Deyao learned that Gao Jingqing had closed the garment factory in order to recuperate and was unable to manage it, he felt extremely distressed and looked for someone everywhere to take over the order.
Fortunately, he had worked in this industry for so many years and had a lot of connections. After snatching a few orders, he went straight to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
During this period, he worked as a OEM, gradually accumulated experience, built up a certain network of contacts, and returned to Beijing.
The most difficult moment has passed. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now he has enough confidence to fight Meng Jinyu.
"Youyou, what are you looking at?" Ye Lan asked curiously.
At this moment, Wu Deyao's gaze also fell on Youyou.
Then, a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Little girl." Wu Deyao walked up to Meng Youyou and smiled, revealing his big yellow teeth. "Have you found a job? Do you want to come to work in my company? I'll pay you 800 yuan a month."
Seeing that the other party listened to what he said without any ripples in his eyes, he continued: "You can go out and ask around. It's hard to find a job now. The average salary in the whole Beijing city is only 300 yuan. I'll offer you 800 yuan, which is more than double."
Ye Lan was afraid of trouble. Her intuition told her that Wu Deyao was not a good person, so she quickly pulled Youyou's arm and said, "Let's go first. It's dark now and it's very dangerous."
But Meng Youyou didn't leave, and took a step forward: "What company?"
"Clothing company." Wu Deyao said with a smile, "My company is called Desheng Clothing, it's on Qinghe Road. If you are interested, you can come to me. When you come to the company, I will ask someone to take you directly to see Angkor Wu."
"Then why do you pay me so much?" Meng Youyou asked curiously again.
Wu Deyao liked such innocent young girls the most, and his eyes were immediately curved with joy: "Why do you say that? You should be in your teens, right? Too young is not a good option. Anyway, let's talk about it in Wu Ge's office. I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the treatment you get."
"Uncle Wu, I'm eighteen years old now." Meng Youyou said with a smile, and turned around and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, Uncle Wu has forgotten where he fell down again."
After Meng Youyou finished speaking, she immediately hurried back: "Ye Lan, you go back to school first. I have something to do and need to go find my mother."
She knew something about what happened in the company. She heard that Manager Chen from the sales department turned himself in, but her mother suspected that there was someone behind Manager Chen's back.
Meng Youyou guessed that the person who caused trouble was Wu Deyao.
Wu Deyao stood there, looking at Meng Youyou's back, and spat in anger.
What uncle?
He is not some old man.
Also, what do you mean by where did you fall? Did they know each other in the past?
He lit up another cigarette.
When walking towards home, you will pass through a narrow alley. There is no one coming and going in the alley, and it is quiet and deserted.
Wu Deyao was smoking and talking to himself: "This girl is really pretty, and her figure is so soft... Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Just as he was thinking about the little girl just now, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
Wu Deyao screamed and looked back in panic, only to see a man suddenly raising his knee and kicking him hard.
He fell to the ground in response, and with the dim light in the alley, he was surprised to find that the other person was not very old, and looked like a teenager.
The boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was tall, with delicate features. He leaned against the low wall in silence, his expression frighteningly cold.
Wu Deyao was not young anymore and could not withstand such a beating. After being punched and kicked, he rolled on the ground in pain and felt that all his internal organs were in excruciating pain.
He touched the corner of his mouth again and found a few drops of blood on it. He quickly put his hands on his head and begged for mercy: "What have I done to you? Did you recognize the wrong person? Stop hitting me, stop hitting me... I will do whatever you want me to do!"
The boy said coldly: "You are so noisy."
Another young man next to him said, "If you don't want to be punished, just shut your mouth."
Wu Deyao turned around and wanted to shout for help, but when he met the boy's vicious eyes, he immediately shut his mouth.
He was sure that with the other party's ferocity, he would be in so much pain that he couldn't speak before he even called for help.
While Wu Deyao was hesitating, a hint of impatience flashed in the other party's eyes.
His hands were shaking, and he immediately pressed the cigarette butt that was just between his fingers to the ground, extinguished it, and threw it into his mouth.
The smell of cigarette ash choked his throat and made him feel nauseous. Wu Deyao's face turned pale. Fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied, he took out his cigarette box and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.
"Is this okay?" His voice trembled.
“That won’t work.”
The young man lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly, his gloomy eyes fell on his feet.
This look made it seem as if his legs would be in danger in the next moment.
Wu Deyao's face turned paler and paler, and he said quickly, "I, I know...I know..."
He sat on the ground, took off his shoes, took off his smelly socks, and stuffed them into his mouth with both hands.
The smell of the socks was worse than that of cigarette ash. Wu Deyao's face turned pale and he felt dizzy with nausea. He knelt on the ground in embarrassment, looking at the boy and speaking vaguely.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his tongue would touch his socks, and he couldn't even speak clearly, and he felt more and more nauseous.
There was a hint of annoyance in the boy's cold eyes.
He put his hands in his pockets, turned and left the alley, then casually took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth.
Zhounian thought that the candies that he looked forward to eating in his childhood and the candies that he ate again after growing up tasted different.
But the little girl who placed the candy next to him once said that she could eat candy when she grows up and it would be just as sweet.
As soon as the boy left, Wu Deyao was about to spit out the socks in his mouth, but who knew that the young man next to the boy stopped and turned back to warn: "We are eating next to you and watching you."
Wu Deyao shuddered when he heard that, and then obediently stuffed the socks back into his mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and he dared not move, wondering in his heart, how did he offend that young man?
Is he here to vent his anger on that little girl just now?
…
When Meng Youyou rushed home, the family was having dinner.
Seeing Youyou coming back, Mr. Gu quickly called her over.
Meng Youyou talked to the old man for a while, and when she found an opportunity, she ran to Meng Jinyu.
"Mom, Aunt Gao's ex-husband is back."
In recent years, Meng Jinyu and Gao Jingqing have occasionally interacted with each other.
After Gao Jingqing got divorced, she no longer had the energy to run the factory, so she decided to close it down. At that time, in order to thank Meng Jinyu, she sold all the overstocked goods in her factory at a low price, and even introduced her partners accumulated over the years to Meng Jinyu.
It was because of Gao Jingqing's help that Meng Jinyu's company was able to go so smoothly when it was first established.
After the divorce, Gao Jingqing's health improved a lot. Although she couldn't recover to normal physical condition, she would not start panting after walking a few steps.
Sometimes, Meng Jinyu would go to her house with Youyou.
When talking about Wu Deyao, Gao Jingqing always looks grateful, saying that it was with Meng Jinyu's help that she was able to pull herself out of the quagmire.
Meng Jinyu thought that Wu Deyao would never be able to get back on track after this incident, but who knew that although he had bad behavior, he still had some work ability.
With Youyou's reminder, it would be much easier to deal with the matter next time. Meng Jinyu wrote down Wu Deyao's company name and address and told Gu Zhimin about it.
"I will investigate. If I can find evidence of collusion between him and Chen Zhongping, I can arrest him," he said.
The whole family was united and pointed their guns at the outside world. After Meng Shan learned about this, he went to his sister's room to discuss countermeasures.
But the brother and sister didn't understand business matters, and they were still confused after talking to each other.
Finally, Meng Youyou scratched her head and said, "I'd better help my mother organize the order fair first. The order fair will be on the opening day of the specialty store. There will be a lot of people coming to such a large clothing brand specialty store in Beijing."
Meng Shan knew that Youyou was helping her mother train her colleagues in stage performances, so he asked, "Youyou, these sisters are the best at it. Have you called them?"
Speaking of this, Meng Youyou's head drooped: "My sister didn't answer my call! I called her a few days ago and she said she was busy. I called her again today and she just didn't answer."
The order fair will be next Monday, which is three days later.
Meng Youyou originally wanted to ask her sister for advice and experience, but who knew that she couldn't contact Jiang Guo.
This is the bad thing about being in a foreign country. My sister's work and sleeping hours are different from here. If I don't get in touch with her one day, I have to wait until the next day.
"Zhounian is leaving the day after tomorrow." Meng Shan sighed, "Why is everyone running away? But he is like his sister, saying that he will come back in the future. The instructor always praises him for being so outstanding and enterprising, and he will have good development no matter where he is."
Meng Youyou had heard Meng Shan mention Zhounian all the time, and her ears were callused: "I remember all your roommates, but how come I don't recognize this person?"
"Because he only lived in the same dormitory with us for the first one or two months after the start of the school. Later, because he was studying computer science, the school transferred him to another dormitory." Meng Shan finished speaking and paused. "Don't you remember him? But he seems to recognize you."
Meng Youyou asked a few more questions, but couldn't remember this person, so she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there are so many people who recognize me."
…
After some investigation, Gu Zhimin found out that Wu Deyao had been very busy in recent years.
He is a good hand at doing business, but because he has no bottom line, he takes advantage of many loopholes and walks into many gray areas.
"In the final analysis, there was still insufficient evidence. He was convicted now, but the charge was too light, so he was released again not long after."
Meng Jinyu fell into deep thought after hearing what he said.
This is not the Internet age. Even if Wu Deyao's business is not clean, it is difficult to preserve evidence. Moreover, his business has just moved from Shenzhen to Beijing. Even if we go directly to his company in Beijing, we may not be able to find any information. By then, we will alert the enemy and give him the opportunity to destroy the evidence.
At the same time, Chen Zhongping refused to admit that he knew Wu Deyao. Meng Jinyu guessed that Wu Deyao had given him certain benefits.
In this way, the clue was broken again.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"I found out that he had a girlfriend not long after he returned to Beijing. That girlfriend had worked in his family's original clothing factory before he left Beijing."
Meng Jinyu was startled: "What's the other party's name?"
"Guan Jingyuan," Gu Zhimin said, "Strangely enough, I think this name sounds familiar."
…
Meng Jinyu didn't expect that Guan Jingyuan would actually get together with Wu Deyao.
She was worried that these two people would join hands and find ways to deal with her company, but who would have thought that Guan Jingyuan would come to her door on his own initiative within a few days.
Guan Jingyuan stood at the door of Meng Jinyu's house, slightly stunned.
That year, when she came here, she was less than twenty years old.
At that time, she followed Jiang Cheng, and was overjoyed all the way, thinking that she had finally found her destination in life.
But who knew that beautiful dream would be too short.
But there is more bitterness than sweetness in life, so even though the dream is fleeting, she still keeps the beauty of the past firmly in her heart.
“Knock knock knock—”
Guan Jingyuan knocked on the door.
Not long after, someone opened the door. When she saw the little girl opening the door, she felt as if time had gone back.
It was Meng Youyou who opened the door.
She has grown from a delicate little girl into a big girl.
Guan Jingyuan was a little dazed.
It took Meng Youyou a long time to recognize her: "Is it you?"
Guan Jingyuan said, "Is your mother here?"
Guan Jingyuan walked to the sofa and sat down.
They didn't move, but the layout and decoration style of the house are completely different from before.
Meng Jinyu poured a cup of tea for Guan Jingyuan: "Are you coming to me this time to demonstrate?"
Guan Jingyuan laughed at himself: "You should have known about the matter between Wu Deyao and me."
Meng Youyou, who was standing by, was stunned.
She was still young at the time, but she was already sensible enough to know that Guan Jingyuan and her brother broke up completely because she had once had an affair with Wu Deyao.
That time, when the quarrel took place in front of Gao Jingqing's house, she saw with her own eyes that Guan Jingyuan was hysterical and was fighting with Wu Deyao and Ruan Wenwen. How come she is back with him now?
Guan Jingyuan didn't explain and directly took out a file bag from his bag.
"Here is the evidence that Wu Deyao crossed the line in business, and there is also the agreement signed by the two of them when he asked Chen Zhongping to steal your company's information. I don't have the ability, so let's see how you can destroy his company."
"Wu Deyao is a man with a dark heart and has done dirty things. But a man like him can live so well. I can't accept it."
Meng Jinyu took the file bag, took a look at it, and a look of delight appeared on her face.
After collecting the information, she asked, "I remember that you hated him very much back then. Did you return to him just to see him suffer?"
"I hated him then, and I hate him now." Guan Jingyuan's eyes turned cold, and he tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands. His tone became more and more excited. "At that time, I was only a teenager. The first time, he forced me... I admit that I did not do well in some places, but I want to start over, but it is much more difficult than for him to start over again."
"That year, I returned to the village. Everyone knew that I had had sex with such a man. Everyone also heard that I went to the hospital to check whether I was pregnant. My parents were anxious to marry me off, so they arranged a marriage for me, but my ex-husband did not cherish me. Whenever he drank too much, he would beat me and scold me for being shameless."
Guan Jingyuan closed his eyes in pain.
The more this happened, the more she missed the time she was with Jiang Cheng.
He was gentle and reliable, willing to give her all the good things.
But back then, not only did she do things that hurt him, she even tried to alienate him from his family.
"Are you divorced?" Meng Jinyu asked.
"It's not a divorce. My ex-husband died. He got drunk and beat me up. Then he went for a stroll in the village and fell into the reservoir and died." Guan Jingyuan sneered, "Everyone in the village says that I have a miserable life, but they don't know that I am relieved when he died."
"Then I came to the city, and who knew it would be such a coincidence that I ran into Wu Deyao not long after I came out. I didn't expect that he could still be so successful even though he was already an old man. Why is it so unfair?"
"I am not worthy of Jiang Cheng, but am I not worthy of Wu Deyao? I deliberately approached him, got together with him, and gained his trust, just to make him lose everything like me! At worst, we will die together."
Guan Jingyuan gritted his teeth and spoke each word clearly.
Meng Youyou listened quietly.
It has been at least seven years since that incident. In the past seven years, everyone has forgotten about it and started a new life. Only Guan Jingyuan is still standing there, struggling.
"You don't have to die together." Meng Youyou said softly, "My mother will report this information to the police. After he is arrested, you can start your life again."
"My own life..." Guan Jingyuan smiled bitterly, "I don't have any life of my own. If it's ruined, I ruined it myself a long time ago."
"You can go to a faraway place. You will be able to sell clothes. Even if you only work in a clothing store, you can still live a prosperous life," said Meng Youyou.
It has been a long time since anyone cared about tube crystals.
Her nose felt slightly sour.
When she raised her head again, she whispered, "You are a kind person, just like your brother."
Guan Jingyuan stood up, turned and left.
…
The next day is the order meeting.
On the day of the ordering meeting, many manufacturers from various cities will come. They are worried that they cannot calculate the time correctly, so they arrive at Meng Jinyu's company a day in advance.
Wu Deyao came over in a swagger and announced in front of everyone that Meng Jinyu's company's clothing was suspected of plagiarizing international brands.
The expressions of several major manufacturers changed slightly.
You know, the reason why Meng Jinyu's company has been becoming more and more prosperous is that the clothing styles created by her and their design team are very special.
Now, Wu Deyao actually said that these special styles were all plagiarized from others.
Wu Deyao laughed, his eyes gleaming with pride.
But who would have known that Meng Jinyu would immediately take out the company's registration information.
"The name of our company is Yu Yu. The word 'Yu' comes from my name, and the other word 'Yu' comes from the name of my partner. She has been studying abroad these years, but she would send back the clothing designs she had."
"Yu?" The head of a brand company in Shanghai frowned and suddenly asked, "Is it Chen Yuqing?"
Now, everyone's attention was focused on the registration information.
Sure enough, Shen Yuqing's name was written on it.
"I have been following design competitions at home and abroad. Shen Yuqing is very good and I have always admired her."
“I never thought that most of the clothes designed by Yuyu Company were created by Shen Yuqing.”
"With such an excellent designer, will Yuyu Company still copy other people's designs?"
Several comrades who were familiar with the fashion industry had heard of Shen Yuqing's name. At this moment, naturally no one believed what Wu Deyao said.
Seeing that everyone was actually looking forward to tomorrow's ordering meeting, he frowned and said, "Chen Yuqing isn't a special name, maybe it's just a coincidence! She's a well-known designer, will you cooperate with her?"
Meng Jinyu smiled and said slowly: "The order meeting is a big event for the company, and opening a specialty store is also a big event. All of this was decided after discussion between Yuqing and me. The company can move to a higher level, which is inseparable from every employee and partner. Yuqing has been working alone for too long. This time, she decided to come back and witness this moment with us."
“Are you saying that Shen Yuqing will come tomorrow too?”
"I can actually see her?"
"When I saw her works in the design competition, I thought that Chinese designers are really amazing. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see her!"
“Will there be media coverage at that time?”
Meng Jinyu nodded: "My youngest daughter is studying journalism and media. Her tutor introduced her to some friends who are journalists. They will come over and help with publicity."
Wu Deyao's face changed.
I can't lie about this. I'm afraid Shen Yuqing is really on the plane now.
"Wu Deyao, you are so concerned about the development of our company." Meng Jinyu said with a smile, "In this case, remember to come early tomorrow. Then, I will give you a big surprise."
The public security comrades are already taking action. After confirming that the evidence provided by Guan Jingyuan is correct, they can arrest Wu Deyao at any time.
Wu Deyao's eyes darkened, and after a long while, he said firmly: "Okay, I also have a big gift for you."
He has made all the arrangements, and no matter whether it is the so-called singer who is being promoted enthusiastically or the young girl who is going to walk the runway, they will change their minds at the last minute.
This gift was enough to ruin her order meeting.
…
On the other side, Meng Youyou received a call.
Listening to the familiar voice on the phone, she asked in a daze: "Are you really back? Don't lie to me."
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to Youyou?"
