Chapter 43 The Truth
Now that things have come to this, Yun Zhaozhao has nothing left to hide. She forced a smile and said, "Brother Shangluo, I can handle things between Pei Jiuyan and me. I'm not a child anymore."
Hearing her say that, Fu Shangluo felt a little sad, but still said, "Okay, then if you need my help, please let me know."
"Thank you, Brother Shangluo."
Fu Shangluo stayed with Yun Zhaozhao for a while longer before returning home after Zhou Xiao arrived.
"Zhaozhao, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Just as Yun Zhaozhao was about to say no, Fu Shangluo said, "I want to come over, don't refuse me."
After saying that, Fu Shangluo left first.
Zhou Xiao said with a gossipy expression, "Baby, I think Professor Fu still has feelings for you."
"I have no such intention."
Yun Zhaozhao said weakly, "Love is something that killed me the first time. I really have no interest in it a second time."
Moreover, she doesn't want to think about anything else now; she just wants to find out what happened back then.
She repeated what Fu Shangluo had just said: "The news about reclamation had indeed circulated before, but it cannot be proven that Wen's father heard it from my father, nor can it be proven that he was instigated by my father."
Both parties involved are no longer alive, making it difficult for her to find out the truth now.
"I'll ask around when I get back."
Although Zhou Xiao said this, he knew that the chances of success were slim. Yun Zhaozhao, on the other hand, remembered someone: her father's former assistant, Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang followed his father for many years. After his father had an accident, Uncle Zhang stopped working at Yun's. Perhaps we can learn some information from Uncle Zhang.
Yun Zhaozhao was an impatient person, and the day after she was discharged from the hospital, she arranged to meet with Assistant Zhang.
"Miss, what happened to you? How did you get hurt?"
Assistant Zhang has been by Yun's father's side for many years and has watched Yun Zhaozhao grow up. He was very worried when he saw her injured.
"It's nothing, Uncle Zhang. I bumped into it by accident. It's not serious. I came to see you today because I have something I want to ask you."
"Miss, please speak."
Assistant Zhang quickly replied.
"Did my father mention the land reclamation project to Pei Jiuyan's father back then, and encourage him to compete for the project?" Yun Zhaozhao asked.
"The land reclamation project?" Assistant Zhang recalled for a long time before saying, "President Yun and President Pei did talk about the land reclamation project before. I remember it was at a dinner party. Besides the two of them, there were also a few people from the Liu family and the Shen family. I don't know who brought it up first, but later the land reclamation project was mentioned. President Pei seemed very interested at the time, and President Yun even advised him to think it over carefully."
"Because, although everyone has heard the news, the specific documents have not yet been issued. It would be too risky to invest rashly. However, President Pei said: 'All investments are risky. The greater the risk, the greater the return.' After all, it was someone else's business, so President Yun didn't say anything more after hearing what he said."
"Later, I heard that President Pei had invested in this project and ended up heavily in debt. At the time, President Yun was very sorry and said that President Pei was too aggressive."
"So, it wasn't my father who asked Pei Jiuyan's father to invest, right?"
Yun Zhaozhao confirmed it once again.
"Of course not. President Yun tried to stop it before. President Shen and President Liu were both there at the time."
Assistant Zhang, being someone who worked closely with Yun's father, immediately guessed what was going on. He frowned and asked, "Miss, who told you this? Does CEO Pei know about it?"
"These words came from the Pei family."
Yun Zhaozhao spoke up.
Assistant Zhang was shocked: "What? Isn't this a rumor? What does this have to do with President Yun? Is someone trying to sow discord between you and President Pei?"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Yun Zhaozhao took a sip of water and paused for a moment before saying, "Uncle Zhang, if I want to ask you to come back and help me later, would you be willing?"
She has a very clear understanding of herself: she only knows how to spend money, not how to make it.
After the incident involving her family, the Yun family had always been managed by Pei Jiuyan, so naturally it was no longer possible for him to do so.
However, she is not really cut out for business, so she plans to hire a professional manager to run the company while she learns gradually. She also needs someone who understands the company well and is loyal to her.
Assistant Zhang is the best candidate.
He had worked for his father for many years, serving as both his subordinate and friend. He was also familiar with the company's situation. If he were willing to come back, her life would be much easier.
Assistant Zhang immediately realized that there was a problem between Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan, and he was somewhat worried.
"Miss, did Pei Jiuyan bully you?"
"I'm getting a divorce from him."
Yun Zhaozhao spoke up.
Assistant Zhang was not surprised to hear this. He sighed and said, "Actually, President Yun didn't want you to marry Pei Jiuyan. He said that Pei Jiuyan was too scheming and that you would easily get hurt."
However, Yun Zhaozhao herself liked it, and Yun's father thought that with him and Yun Fei around, Pei Jiuyan wouldn't dare to bully Yun Zhaozhao, so he finally agreed.
Yun Zhaozhao's eyes reddened, and she remained silent.
Assistant Zhang quickly replied, "If you were to take over the company, I would definitely come back to help you. It's just that I'm worried Pei Jiuyan won't let go so easily."
Although the Pei family has already surpassed the Yun family in development, the Yun family is still a large piece of meat, and who would be willing to give up such a large piece of meat?
"That's out of his control."
Yun Zhaozhao said coldly, and then asked about some company matters in detail.
At the same time, in the hospital, Pei Jiuyan frowned and looked at Zhou Yueming: "How could you allow her to be discharged?"
"Her feet are part of her body. She wants to be discharged from the hospital, and I can't force her to stay, Mr. Pei."
Zhou Yueming appeared respectful, but every word he uttered was sarcastic. Few in their group liked Pei Jiuyan, especially after everything that had happened.
Pei Jiuyan glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I heard that Old Zhou has been trying to attract investment everywhere lately."
His words were brief and to the point, but Zhou Yueming's face had already turned pale.
He has come this far because he is no longer bullied by anyone, and the only one who can be arrogant towards him is Yun Zhaozhao.
Seeing that Zhou Yueming had become obedient, he then asked:
"Is she really alright now?"
His biggest worry was Yun Zhaozhao's health.
"It's alright, just take good care of yourself and eat more blood-nourishing foods."
Zhou Yueming said in a very formal and methodical manner.
Before Pei Jiuyan could say anything more, the phone rang. It was Yun Zhaozhao calling, and his expression visibly improved.
"Hello, baby?"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Pei Jiuyan walked out while talking, not caring about anything else.
Zhou Yueming watched his retreating figure with a somewhat complicated expression.
Pei Jiuyan is so possessive of Yun Zhaozhao, would he really agree to a divorce?
Yun Zhaozhao was summoned by Pei Jiuyan to the Yun family's study. When Pei Jiuyan arrived, Yun Zhaozhao was sitting on a guest chair. Hearing the voice, she turned around and looked back. It was here that she first met Pei Jiuyan, except that Pei Jiuyan was sitting in her current seat back then, while she was standing at the door.
“Pei Jiuyan, let’s talk.”
Yun Zhaozhao spoke up.
