Chapter 8 (4)
The institute had a research project, led by Kang Long, that would take them to the mountainous areas of Hebei. They were still looking at chestnuts. They wanted to discover native local varieties. Yu Shuang, working from home, had been sitting for a long time. When she got up, she felt a heat in her lower body. She couldn't tell if it was water or blood, but it was flowing down her legs.
The situation is critical. Kang Long is not here, Chairman Kang can't help, and Sister Jia's phone is not reachable, so she has to ask Rui for help.
In the hospital ward, Yu Shuang lay, pale. Yu Rui stood by her side. She had been through it all before. But Yu Shuang's was an accident; she had chosen to divorce her child. Yu Rui had never expected Shuang to skip marriage and go straight to having a child. But facing Shuang like this, Rui couldn't ask anything.
Yu Shuang was in pain.
It wasn't just the physical pain; the child also made her realize her own "specialness." She was a woman, different from a man, and being able to give birth came with sacrifice. She bled every month, endlessly. But now, her life had been cut short.
It's her fault.
Kang Long arrived, and Yu Rui pulled him outside to question him. Kang Long told her the truth, leaving Yu Rui speechless. This was how they acted. They seemed like mainstream people, but their actions were even more rebellious than even an actress like her.
After a few days in the hospital, Yu Shuang returned home to recuperate after her baby was born. Kang Long hired the best nanny, and Yu Rui visited her from time to time.
Shuang didn't let Rui tell Sister Jia and Sister Meng.
Yu Rui scolded, "They don't have any thoughts."
Yu Rui is now very dissatisfied with Yu Jia and Yu Meng.
Yu Jia and Bai Yuankai returned from Japan, and the shop immediately revamped. According to Yu Qi, Bai had invested, and the name had been changed to Jia Yuan House. Just listen to that name. It was obvious! Yu Qi officially resigned and changed jobs. Yuan Kai tried to persuade her to stay, but when Yu Qi insisted, he readily let her go. This brought Yu Qi to tears—this was her final test—if Yuan Kai insisted, she might change her mind.
Yu Rui wanted to keep her sister, so she tried everything she could think of, even saying she would introduce another boss to her. Yu Qi was angry, "Sis! Not everyone likes this boss or that boss! It's not that complicated to just work and eat!"
Yu Rui was so angry that she lost her temper. A few days later, Yu Qi started a new job and moved out.
Yu Rui had sat in Yu Jia's shop before and knocked from the side, "Teacher Bai comes here often."
"Occasionally." Yu Jia was busy with his hands and there was nothing unnatural about it.
"He invested in this store?"
"A little bit of stock."
Openly and willingly admit it.
"Teacher Bai is really nice to Sister Jia," Yu Rui smiled. She spoke in the third person.
"The project is a good project." Yu Jia was still relaxed and there was nothing awkward about it.
Listen, she still insists that the project is good. She didn't think so before, but now, Yu Rui really thinks that classical beauties like Jia Jie are the most terrifying. They are high-level "green tea". They have clearly done some "green tea" things, but they make it look like they are sincere.
Men buy into this.
Like the spring breeze, it moistens everything silently, the highest level.
Even more worrying was Yu Meng. After Yu Rui stepped down from her position as first assistant, her friendship with Ye Cha had become even stronger than before. According to Ye Cha, recently, General Manager Yu—that is, Yu Meng—had been getting along very well with General Manager Han, and the two of them often chatted until midnight.
Yu Rui asked, "In the middle of the night? What are we talking about?"
Ye Cha said, "Life." He added, "With people like Mr. Han, you have to be able to keep up with their level of thinking. If you can talk comfortably, everything will be easy."
As expected of a secretary with so many years of experience, he knew every trait of his old boss perfectly.
Yu Meng had also figured out a way. Lately, she'd been cramming Buddhist studies just to have something to talk about with Han Guang. Right now, Yu Meng felt she'd defeated Weng Yue and become Han Guang's favorite. However, they were far from lovers. There was no romantic relationship between her and Han Guang. Although Yu Meng had devised several strategies, such as outflanking Han Xiqian and attacking head-on...
It's all useless.
Yu Meng discovered that Han Guang and Zu Liangcai were different. Liangcai had a bit of an intellectual romance. Han Guang didn't have that. He came from a business background and was a businessman. He had a cold, hard streak about him. Yu Meng felt that he only saw her as a partner, or better yet, a confidante, the kind with whom he could chat about Buddhism late into the night.
And then, nothing.
There is always a quantitative change, but never a qualitative change.
Yu Meng felt exhausted. However, working with Han Guang opened her up to a whole new world. If love didn't work out, there was still career. In the past, Yu Meng had never considered herself a successful career, but with Han Guang's guidance and guidance, her horizons broadened and her ambitions grew. She suddenly realized, "Right, if I could become wealthy, why would I be so obsessed with marrying into one?" At this point, Yu Meng finally understood why a certain actor had once made such bold statements.
This time, that time. In the business world, Yu Meng also has talent, and it is no problem for her to trample on small shrimps like Luan Chengyun.
A favorable wind will help me soar to the sky. Why not?!
After the confinement center, Han Guang landed a wind farm project. It wasn't a big deal within the group, but Yu Meng felt that if she could secure it, her career would be on a new level. Previously, she'd been involved in "women's industries," but now, if she were lucky enough to get involved in the energy industry, it would be like navigating a difficult road amidst a sea of men, a truly significant undertaking.
Weng Yue, of course, knew this news. Han Guang had wanted to go into the power industry in the past, but he'd never gotten approval. Weng Yue wanted to explore the northwest, but he disagreed. This time, Yu Meng wanted to do it. Weng Yue kept quiet, but instead entrusted Ye Cha to make a soft protest. Unexpectedly, this went against his will, and he was met with a cold shoulder. Ye Cha complained to Yu Rui, saying, "In the war of gods, they're always using him as a pawn, and he's not a magic weapon!"
Weng Yue understood Han Guang's attitude and promptly stopped talking. She had received more than enough over the years. Furthermore, Han Guang had finally given her face by arranging a job for Weng Yang: a hotel manager and senior landlord in Hengdian. However, Weng Yue felt a sense of unease. By supporting her first and then Weng Yang, she felt Han Guang was letting go, severing this remaining "family relationship."
While drinking afternoon tea, Weng Yue took the opportunity to complain about Yu Mengyi in front of Mrs. Xin. Mrs. Xin held the red tea tray, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "Oh, you are so bold, I didn't realize it before."
Weng Yue said: "It's hidden very well."
Mrs. Xin teased, "You're the one who brought this upon us."
Weng Yue smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Mrs. Xin put down the tea tray and said, "I don't understand these people. Right now, everyone is buying back, so why are some still trying to sell out? Setting out your stall attracts the wind."
The conversation stopped abruptly. There was no further information.
Weng Yue sensed a profound meaning in this. What was the Xin family's strategy? How much information could they absorb? Naturally, they could see more comprehensively and consider the situation more comprehensively than the rest of them. Knowing when to hide and when to reveal was an art form. Unlike the so-called "upstarts" like Yu Meng, who were merely wealthy individuals who bought a piece of clothing, who could guarantee it wouldn't disappear tomorrow? Even harder than starting a business was maintaining it.
Weng Yue sometimes wondered, "Who will inherit my brother-in-law's vast fortune? Will it all go to Xiqian? Whoever marries her will be so lucky." Yu Meng had also thought of this, which was why she had to invite Xiqian to Haoyu's birthday party. This was her backup plan.
Even if mom can't do it, I still have my son. There are two flowers, and as long as one of them blooms, it's a victory.
But now, Yu Meng suddenly encountered a difficult problem. She thought it was the ultimate test given to her by Han Guang.
