Chapter 16
Xue Weiwei suddenly sat up straight and whispered to her, "I just received a message from Human Resources. It is said that Zheng Yuan has resigned."
"Huh? Wasn't he 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. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.
"Xiao Qi, I remember Yaoyao wrote in the information she gave me that Zheng Yuan was a puppet Zheng Rui had placed in the company, waiting to take over. With him around, he could still give remote control even after retirement. So why did he resign? Did he commit some crime and run away?"
Zheng Rui is known for his shrewdness and cautious approach. How could he possibly be caught doing something wrong? Furthermore, your Second Aunt's faction and Old Master Zheng are potential rivals. If he were to make a mistake, she would have used it to eliminate the dissidents. Resigning wouldn't be enough.
[That's right. Speaking of which, it's actually quite crucial to choose your side in the workplace. If you're not careful, you can get dragged down, especially for low-ranking employees. You might end up becoming cannon fodder.]
The people eating in the cafeteria included employees from all departments of the company. Some of them knew Xu Yinyin's inner thoughts and were just there for spectators, while others did not know the truth and were hearing Xu Yinyin's inner 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 calmly.
[Grandpa is currently drafting his will. To create a favorable environment for his heirs, he must resolutely eradicate unhealthy practices and pave the way for his successor.]
[In times like this when the world is about to change, the lower your status, the more you need to manage yourself. You must not let momentary greed blind you and become someone else's pawn, selling them out and counting the money.]
[How do you say that?] The system became interested.
The potential cannon fodders who had no status suddenly straightened their backs, wishing they could insert two signal receivers into their heads.
The company currently has three factions. The first is the founding generation who built the company with my grandfather, a trio led by Zheng Rui. The second is my second uncle, who has a son, and who, along with my capable second aunt, manages the company's affairs, having long controlled all the important matters. The third is my younger brother-in-law, who has always harbored sinister intentions. Although he has no backing, he's a smooth talker and has easily persuaded several veteran shareholders to invest.
As for my dad, who was forced into the position of acting chairman, he's the most pitiful and helpless. He has no ambition, yet is forced to do things that offend people. He's a complete receptacle of hatred. No wonder Second Aunt is targeting him. One wants it but can't, and the other doesn't want it, but is forced to give it. Isn't that infuriating?
In fact, at this sensitive moment, the most important thing to do is to stay calm and wait for the storm to pass, rather than thinking that an opportunity has come and you can fish in troubled waters.
Don't you think that my grandfather, who rose from a brick-moving construction worker to a top businessman consistently ranked in the top ten of the world's richest, couldn't see through the minds of those around him, couldn't fathom the scheming of his subordinates. He simply wasn't bothered by petty scheming. Because no matter what a businessman does, their primary concern is always how to reduce costs and achieve greater returns with less.
I guess Grandpa is hoping that while the snipe and the clam fight, he'll profit. So, those people who are ready to make a move are just bait Grandpa throws out. Once they've eliminated each other, he'll catch them all in one fell swoop.
"I'm skeptical. People's minds are hard to predict. Is Grandpa so confident that others will take the bait?"
The system's suspicion is also the suspicion of everyone present.
No matter how powerful the old man is, he has been behind the scenes for several years. Anyone with a little idea has taken this opportunity to cultivate his own confidants, and it is impossible to defend against him.
Tang Wan is the best example. Her rights have long been above those 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 spectators who took sides sneered. What does a girl who is just starting out and relies on a useless father know?
The law-abiding and pure spectator said that they have learned something and will continue to do so.
It seems you still don't understand human nature. Those who have the power to become powerful leaders all share a common flaw: arrogance and pride! To deal with such a person, you must let them swell to the point of losing themselves. When they become arrogant and feel invincible, then strike them hard, destroying both their body and soul.
[Is it really that exaggerated? I don't believe it.] The system was skeptical.
Those who are on the side of watching the show also expressed disbelief.
【Then we'll just have to wait and see. 】
Until it is confirmed, I remain skeptical.
[Sure, I respect any choice that goes against mine.]
Those who stood on the side and watched the show silently snorted in their hearts, saying that after all this time, nothing was useful, which affected their eating experience and gave a bad review!
"Who is Xu Yinyin? Get out here!"
Following a loud shout, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw a woman wearing a high-end suit, with exquisite makeup and a hostile look on her face standing at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Those sharp eyes filled with anger swept over everyone in the cafeteria one by one, making people tremble inexplicably wherever they passed.
Isn't this the famously protective Zheng Sisi? She's probably here to seek revenge on Xu Yinyin.
Ahhhhh, fight, fight!
"Why is Zheng Yuan's sister here?"
Xue Weiwei's heart tightened. She wanted to give Xu Yinyin some hints, but was afraid of scaring her. After all, the person involved seemed to be unaware of the fact that he could hear her inner thoughts, otherwise he would not dare to expose the secrets of the rich 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-badges thought the same thing as her and immediately sent her a message warning her not to tell anyone.
Xue Weiwei repeatedly sent out emojis of "kowtow" 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? Cut it up and try 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 were bullied and she turned into a human Tyrannosaurus, Zheng Sisi was very kind at other times. Even though her father held a high position, he was never as arrogant and rude as her brother.
She likes to host charity dinners, provide financial aid to students and farmers, and donate medical equipment to remote mountainous areas. When she encounters volunteer activities, she is always the most active participant and a true messenger of positive energy.
People often sigh that if the sister took over the company's business, she would definitely be more successful than her brother, and might even be able to support Mr. Zheng to replace the chairman.
What kind of gossip will such an aggressive and strong woman have?
The sudden voice made Zheng Sisi's expression even gloomier.
Before coming, he finally contacted his brother. He must have been holding it in for a long time. When she asked him what happened, he told her everything clearly.
After hearing this, Zheng Sisi wished she could tear Xu Yinyin apart with her bare hands.
People like this who use other people's privacy for fun are really despicable and have no conscience or moral integrity!
She must send her to the police station today, accuse her of spreading rumors and slander, and let her spend the rest of her life in jail!
"Xu Yinyin, get out here, you--"
All of Zheng Sisi's accusations were muted. They were right on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't say them. It was outrageous!
The onlookers watched her stammer and fail to utter a single word several times, and all of them gave her sympathetic looks. Look how angry she was, ashamed and embarrassed, and she didn'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 it and continued to criticize, but still couldn't say anything.
It's numb! It's numb!
How could such an outrageous thing happen in this world? !
[This beautiful sister is a superb saint! ]
[What? The ultimate saint!]
Xue Weiwei's mouth, which was about to eat, stopped suddenly, and her eyes widened in shock.
The onlookers around all gasped quietly.
Zheng Sisi was shocked. No, she was not a saint. She was just soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see others suffer.
Zheng Sisi has always known that her husband is having an affair. Yesterday, the mistress gave birth, and she personally went to take her home to take care of her after giving birth. The three of them now live together, with Zheng Sisi taking care of the child, while her husband and the mistress watch over her. The four of them are living happily together.
【······】Xu Yinyin’s silence was deafening.
The onlookers were all petrified. What kind of wicked person 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 speak, she couldn't defend herself in public. Isn't this equivalent to exposing her own negative information?
hateful!
[Huh? Usually, wives like this who are humble enough marry wealthy men simply for money. The boss gives her millions in pocket money every month, and she loves working and hates going home. The wife, out of professional ethics of taking money for her own benefit, helps take care of the mistress and the baby during the confinement period. But Zheng Sisi's father is one of the three giants of Fengyi, holding 12% of the shares and a wealthy family worth tens of billions. There's no need to condescend, unless her husband's family background is even more powerful than hers.]
[I haha, her husband is a son-in-law who married into the family. He became a well-known painter with the financial support of Zheng Sisi. His paintings start at 10 million yuan each. He is a talented artist in the circle.]
Actually, those paintings would be worthless if Zheng Sisi hadn't hyped them up at a charity auction. But Zheng Sisi never told him this because she adored her husband and was willing to do anything to gild his reputation. After all, he was a recognized genius on the university campus, the most beautiful woman on campus, the kind of person who was untainted by dust. To be able to dethrone such a high-born beauty from the altar was a great sense of accomplishment.
[Ah, this... Do all young ladies have the poverty alleviation gene? When they see poor academic elites or talented people from humble backgrounds, they want to help them. Otherwise, they feel itchy all over?]
Let me guess, the man relied on his wife's outlandish work, his paintings sold well, and with the media hype, his artistic germs began to swell, and then he became arrogant, right?
Not only was he arrogant, he also despised Zheng Sisi for her money-making qualities, saying she was unworthy of his artistic soul. Then, under the pretext of seeking a muse and inspiration, he frequented various entertainment venues, living a life of extravagance and debauchery.
[Oh my, I've never seen such a shameless person! ]
The female spectators were very excited, but the male spectators were really jealous. Who doesn’t want to be a gigolo?
Even more outrageous was the time when the man took his friends to a nightclub. Afterward, he actually called Zheng Sisi to pick up the bill, and made a bet with them that his wife would arrive within half an hour. He instantly won 20,000 yuan from his friends, and everyone loudly called her "good sister-in-law," humiliating them to the utmost. Zheng Sisi instantly became famous, solidifying her reputation as a devoted and devoted wife.
【WTF! 】
The onlookers exclaimed in their hearts WTFFFF!
This is too explosive, Miss Sisi is really beautiful and kind-hearted :)
[Looking at it this way, isn't it easier to accept her helping her mistress take care of her child? ]
Xu Yinyin's mouth twitched in shock: "If you make that analogy, then it's really nothing compared to the big one."
[What does this man look like? How could Zheng Sisi be 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 onlookers were aroused by her almost fatal inhalation, and their curiosity was aroused. They were so anxious that they scratched their heads and wished they could share the system immediately so that they could see her face.
Please, please describe what the Gaoling Flower looks like!
How can I describe it? Calling them beasts is an insult to animals. With his disheveled hair and his appearance, he dares to flirt with the most beautiful girl in school? Where does he get his confidence from?
【Speaking of this, it involves another melon. 】
[Oh my, how can this be a melon?! Don't tell me that Bai Yueguang's character design is a deliberate conspiracy?]
Bingo, Umbro is really smart.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the onlookers were ready to go, jumping around like wild beasts, 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, just say it!]
Xu Yinyin urged while rubbing her hands.
The onlookers held their breath, waiting for more explosive news to come.
