Chapter 16
Xue Weiwei suddenly sat up straight and whispered to her, "I just received a message from HR that Zheng Yuan has resigned."
"Huh? You were here this morning, why are you here so suddenly?" Xu Yinyin looked puzzled.
"Who knows?" Xue Weiwei wondered along with her, but in her heart she prayed that she would quickly start a discussion with the guy named Xiao Qi, as everyone was waiting to hear the next news.
[Xiao Qi, I remember that Yao Yao wrote in the information she gave me that Zheng Yuan was a puppet that Zheng Rui placed in the company to take over his job. With him around, he could still control the company remotely even if he retired. Why did he resign? Did he commit some crime and run away?]
[Zheng Rui is well-known for his shrewdness and has always acted cautiously. How could he be caught doing something bad? Besides, your second aunt's group and Mr. Zheng are potential rivals. If he really made a mistake, she would have used it to eliminate dissidents. Resigning is not enough.]
[That's right. Speaking of which, it's actually very important to take sides in the workplace. If you're not careful, you'll be implicated, especially for junior staff with low status. You might end up becoming cannon fodder.]
The diners in the cafeteria included employees from all departments of the company. Some knew what Xu Yinyin was thinking and were just there for the fun, while others did not know the truth and were hearing Xu Yinyin's thoughts for the first time.
At this moment, all the employees who accidentally stepped into the melon field opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears, and listened without changing their expressions.
[Now is the time for Grandpa to draft his will. In order to create a good environment for his heirs, Grandpa must definitely clean up the bad habits and pave the way for his successors.]
[When things are about to change, the lower your status, the more you need to take care of yourself. You must not become someone else's pawn because of momentary greed, and then be sold out and count the money for others.]
【How do you say it? 】The system became interested.
The potential cannon fodders with no status suddenly straightened their backs, wishing they could insert two signal receivers into their heads.
[The company now has three factions. The first is the first generation of founders who built the company with Grandpa, headed by Zheng Rui, the three bosses; the second is the second uncle who gave birth to a son, who works with the capable second aunt to manage the company's affairs, and has long controlled the company's major and minor affairs; the third is the younger brother-in-law who has always harbored evil intentions. Although he has no backing, he is eloquent and can easily get a few veterans to invest. ]
[As for my dad who was pushed to be the acting chairman, he is the most pitiful and helpless. He has no ambition but is forced to do things and offend people. He is a complete receiver of hatred. No wonder my aunt targeted him. One wants it but can't get it, and the other doesn't want it but is forced to give it. Don't you think it's infuriating? ]
【In fact, at such a sensitive moment, the best thing to do is to stay calm and wait for the storm to pass, rather than thinking that this is an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. 】
【Don’t you think that your grandfather, who relied on moving bricks at construction sites and gradually became a top businessman who is consistently ranked in the top ten of the world’s richest list, cannot see clearly the minds of the people around him and cannot guess the tricks of his subordinates. He is just too lazy to do small things, because no matter what a businessman does, the first thing he considers is always how to reduce costs and make a big profit with a small investment.】
[I guess Grandpa wants to take advantage of the conflict between the snipe and the clam, so those people who are ready to make a move are just bait thrown by Grandpa. After they kill each other, he will catch them all in one fell swoop.]
[I am skeptical. People's minds are the hardest to guess. Is Grandpa so confident that others will fall for his trick? ]
The system's suspicion is also the suspicion of everyone present.
No matter how powerful the old man is, he has retired behind the scenes for several years. Anyone with a little idea has taken this opportunity to cultivate his own confidants, and he cannot be prevented at all.
Tang Wan is the best example. Her power has long surpassed that of the acting director. If the old man was really wise, he should have stopped it long ago, but he did nothing. He was even admitted to the ICU last month and almost died.
The crowd of onlookers who took sides sneered, what does a girl who has just started out and relies on a useless father know?
The law-abiding and pure spectator said they have learned something and will continue to do so.
[It seems that you still don't understand human nature. People who have the power to be big bosses all have a common problem - conceit and arrogance! To deal with such a person, you have to let him expand infinitely, even lose himself, and when he thinks he is invincible, give him a heavy blow, so that his body and mind are annihilated together. ]
[Is it really that exaggerated? I don’t believe it.] The system is skeptical.
Those who are just watching the show also expressed disbelief.
【Then let's wait and see. 】
[Until it is confirmed, I will remain skeptical.]
[Sure, I respect any choice that goes against mine.]
Those who stood on the side and watched the show silently said "huh" in their hearts. After talking for a long time, nothing was useful. It was useless and it affected everyone. Bad review!
"Who is Xu Yinyin? Get out here!"
Following a sharp shout, everyone looked towards where the sound came from.
I saw a woman wearing a high-end suit, exquisite makeup, and full of hostility standing at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Those sharp eyes filled with anger scanned all the people in the cafeteria one by one, making people shudder wherever they passed.
Isn't this Zheng Sisi, the famous protective demon? She might be here to seek revenge on Xu Yinyin.
Ahhhh, fight, fight!
"Why is Zheng Yuan's sister here?"
Xue Weiwei's heart tightened. She wanted to give Xu Yinyin some hints, but she was afraid of scaring her. After all, the person involved seemed to be unaware of the fact that he could hear her thoughts, otherwise he would not dare to expose the secrets of the wealthy family so blatantly.
If she told him, where would they find fun in the future? His friends would just see the light at the end of the tunnel!
The melon-babies thought of the same thing as her and immediately sent her a message to warn her not to tell anyone.
Xue Weiwei sent a series of kowtow emojis to show her loyalty.
"What does Sister Zheng Yuan want me to do?" Xu Yinyin was very confused.
[This person has a big melon, let her find it! ]
[What melon? What melon? Cut it and taste it! ]
The excited voices of the two people instantly diverted the attention of those who were originally worried about Xu Yinyin.
Except for the moment when her own people are bullied, when she turns into a human Tyrannosaurus Rex, Zheng Sisi is very kind all the time. Even though her father is in a high position, he is never as arrogant and rude as her brother.
She likes to hold charity dinners, provide financial aid to students and farmers, and donate medical equipment to remote mountainous areas. She is always the most active participant in volunteer activities and a true messenger of positive energy.
Everyone often sighs that if the sister takes over the company's business, she will definitely be more capable than her brother, and may even be able to support Mr. Zheng to replace the chairman.
Just imagine what this aggressive woman has in mind.
The sudden voice in her heart made Zheng Sisi's expression even gloomier.
Before coming, he finally got in touch with his brother. He must have been holding it in too long, because as soon as she asked him what happened, he told her everything.
After hearing this, Zheng Sisi wished she could tear Xu Yinyin apart with her bare hands.
People like this who specialize in spreading other people's privacy for fun are so despicable and have no conscience or moral integrity at all!
She must send her to the police station today, accuse her of spreading rumors and slander, and make her spend the rest of her life in jail!
"Xu Yinyin, get out of here, you--"
All of Zheng Sisi's words of accusation were muted. The words were clearly on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't say them. It was ridiculous!
The crowd watching her stammer several times and fail to utter a single word several times, all cast sympathetic glances at her. Look how angry she is, ashamed and angry, she doesn't even have the courage to confront him. How pitiful!
Glancing at the sympathetic looks from all directions, Zheng Sisi felt ashamed, angry and furious. She refused to believe in the evil and protested again, but still could not say anything.
It's numb! It's numb!
How can there be such absurd things in this world! !
[This beautiful sister is a superb saint mother! ]
【Shrimp? The best Holy Mother! 】
Xue Weiwei was about to eat when her mouth stopped moving, her eyes widening in surprise.
The crowd of onlookers all gasped in shock.
Zheng Sisi was struck by lightning. No, she was not the Virgin Mary. She was just soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see others suffer.
[Zheng Sisi has always known that her husband has a mistress outside. Yesterday, the mistress just gave birth to a child, and she personally went to take her home to take care of her during the confinement period. The three of them now live together. Zheng Sisi is responsible for taking care of the child, and her husband and the mistress are responsible for watching her take care of the child. The family of four is very happy. ]
【······】Xu Yinyin’s silence was deafening.
The crowd of onlookers were all petrified. What kind of wicked creature is this?
Zheng Sisi's eyes went dark and she fell into the dining chair.
It's over! Everyone could hear Xu Yinyin's inner voice, but she couldn't say anything to question it.
Moreover, even if she could say it, she couldn't defend herself in public. Isn't this equivalent to exposing her own dirty laundry?
Damn!
【Ah? Usually this kind of humble wife is married to a rich boss simply for money. The boss gives her several million pocket money every month. She loves to work and doesn't like to go home. The wife helps take care of the mistresses and confinement after taking money from him. But Zheng Sisi's father is one of the three giants of Fengyi, holding 12% of the shares, and is a wealthy man worth tens of billions. There is no need for her to lower her status, unless her husband's family background is stronger than hers?】
[I haha, her husband is a son-in-law who married into the family. With the help of Zheng Sisi, he became a well-known painter. Each of his paintings starts at tens of millions. He is a talented artist in the circle. ]
[In fact, those paintings would be worthless if Zheng Sisi hadn't hyped them up with a charity auction. But Zheng Sisi never told him this because she admired her husband so much that she was willing to do anything to help him improve his image. After all, he was a recognized talent on campus, the white moonlight of all the girls in the school, and he was pure and innocent. It must be a great sense of accomplishment to be able to bring such a talented person down from the altar.]
[Ah, this... do all young ladies have the gene to help the poor? When they see poor top students or talented people from poor families, they want to help them, otherwise they will be embarrassed? ]
[Let me guess, the man relied on his wife's manipulation, the paintings sold well, and the media hyped it up, so the art bacteria started to expand, and then he became arrogant, right? ]
[Not only was he arrogant, he also disliked Zheng Sisi for smelling like copper and not being worthy of his artistic soul. Then, under the pretext of looking for a creative muse and inspiration, he went to various entertainment venues, living a life of luxury and debauchery.]
[Oh, I've never seen such a shameless person! ]
The female crowd who likes to watch the show are getting excited, while the male crowd who likes to watch the show are really envious. Who doesn't want to be a freeloader?
[Even more outrageous is that once the man took his friends to a nightclub, he actually called Zheng Sisi to pay the bill afterwards, and made a bet with his friends that his wife would arrive within half an hour. As a result, he immediately won 20,000 yuan from his friends, and everyone called her a good sister-in-law, humiliating her to the utmost. Zheng Sisi also became famous overnight, and established her reputation as a 24-hour filial and virtuous wife.]
【WTF! 】
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed in their hearts at the same time: WTFFFF!
This is too explosive, Miss Sisi is really beautiful and kind-hearted :)
[Looking at it this way, isn't it not so hard to accept that she helped her mistress take care of the baby? ]
Xu Yinyin's mouth twitched in shock: [If you want to make such an analogy, then it is indeed a small witch compared to a big witch. ]
[What does this man look like? How can he make Zheng Sisi so obsessed with him? ]
The system chuckled calmly and then released a picture.
After reading it, Xu Yinyin took a deep breath and her breathing time exceeded thirty seconds at one point.
The crowd of onlookers were aroused by her almost fatal inhalation, and they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, wishing they could share the system immediately to see her face.
Please, please describe what the Takayama flower looks like!
[How can I describe it? Calling him a beast is an insult to animals. With his disheveled hair and a dog-like appearance, he dares to flirt with the most beautiful girl in the school? Where does he get his confidence from?]
【Speaking of this, it involves another melon. 】
[Oh my, how can this be true?! Don’t tell me that Bai Yueguang’s character setting is a deliberate conspiracy?]
【binggo, Umbro is really smart. 】
As soon as these words were spoken, all the onlookers rubbed their hands in readiness, turning into wild beasts jumping up and down, wishing they could take root here.
Zheng Sisi looked at Xu Yinyin with a pale face, with both resentment and sadness in her eyes.
Is the fact that she has tried so hard to hide about to be made public in a way that everyone knows?
[Ahhh, stop praising me, hurry up and tell me! ]
Xu Yinyin urged him while rubbing her hands.
The crowd held their breath, waiting for even more explosive news to come.
