Chapter 34
The next morning, just as Xu Yinyin gathered the melon-eating civets to eat melons, Xu Yanrui kicked open the office door, his hair standing on end in anger.
"Get out!" His sharp eyes swept over everyone except Xu Yinyin.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then, led by Xue Weiwei, fled away.
"Second Uncle, what are you doing--"
Xu Yinyin was a little confused.
【What is he doing? Why is he so angry?】
[Who knows? It's said that men also experience menopause, and when it starts, they can be even crazier than women.]
"Xu Yinyin!"
Xu Yanrui shouted loudly, and when Xu Yinyin thought that something was wrong, he suddenly fell down on the sofa like a deflated ball, looking listless and resentful, as if he had lost all hope.
He said listlessly, "Name a price and sell me your plan."
Xu Yinyin was not surprised at all. "Ah, isn't this bad?"
Xu Yanrui raised his eyes and glared at her, accusing her, "Why, do you still want to raise the price?"
Xu Yinyin waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, the main thing is, this plan wasn't made by me. If I just sell it to you like this, then the person who really made the contribution will be buried, right?"
Xu Yanrui heard her subtext, "So what do you want?"
"I think you can take over both the people and the plan. I don't want a penny from the project or the subsequent benefits."
"Huh?!" Xu Yanrui was shocked. Is there such a good thing?
His inquiring gaze swept across Xu Yinyin's face, trying to find the conspiracy hidden in her expression.
Last night, when he learned that Yan Feng had finalized Xu Yinyin's contract and directly rejected the cooperation with him, he was so angry that he wanted to explode on the spot.
It was obvious that when he met him yesterday, the other party had a gloomy face with the five big words "I want revenge" written on his face. When he saw him, he still eagerly asked about Xu Yinyin's whereabouts. Every move he made led people to believe that Xu Yinyin would die.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the two parties reached a cooperation. It's really amazing!
No matter who Xu Yinyin exposes her damn secret, it will embarrass the person and make them so angry that they would want to kill her on the spot, but she has the ability to remain safe and sound.
Perhaps it is more important to clean up the mess as soon as possible than to face the embarrassment of being exposed. It's fucking outrageous!
No wonder the old man dared to send Xu Yinyin, who had no one to rely on, into the vortex of struggle in the company. It turned out that he had foreseen all this.
That’s why they say that old ginger is more experienced. Compared with Xu Yinyin’s unique skills, the old man’s control over things is really terrifying.
He actually knew his own worth very well, and he also knew that the old man did not think highly of him, and gave him real power only out of consideration for the father-son relationship.
But people’s disappointment will gradually turn into despair, and after despair, they will feel completely heartbroken.
This competition is the ultimatum given to him by the old man. If he loses, he will really have to pack up and leave.
Therefore, in order to give himself a chance of survival, he did not mind being humble and making a deal with Xu Yinyin.
But Xu Yinyin's attitude left him a little puzzled.
If you say she didn't fight for it, she still got the contract. If you say she wanted to fight for it, when he bowed his head and offered her benefits, she wanted nothing.
"Is it that simple? No other conditions attached?" Xu Yanrui asked worriedly.
"No, I don't want to get involved in anything at the company. You know, I'm a loser, the type who doesn't want to make progress. If the company really falls into my hands, it will definitely be over."
"······" Xu Yanrui's mouth twitched. He had the illusion that he was being indirectly criticized.
"Uncle, I never thought Grandpa would let me compete with you." Xu Yinyin walked to the filing cabinet and handed him the contract sent by Rongmao Group. "Look, I haven't signed the contract yet."
Xu Yanrui flipped through the book doubtfully, then looked up at her eyes and asked seriously, "Why don't you fight with me? You clearly have the upper hand."
"Rather than pursuing self-worth, I would rather be a salted fish, eating and waiting to die, wasting my time."
"You are quite frank." Xu Yanrui was a little amused.
"It's okay."
The more ambitious and hardworking my family members are, the more secure my luxurious life will be. If everyone can enjoy it, who would go to work and earn money? Why would I bother trying to stand around when I can just do it? Aren't you stupid?
Xu Yanrui: “…”
[Also, I'm not like you. You know you can't do it, but you still try so hard to achieve something. Little do you know, the harder you try, the more you expose your incompetence. You should learn to hide your incompetence instead of being a conspicuous person. If it weren't for Grandpa's wealth and success, you would have squandered it all long ago. Compared to my wealthy father's incompetence, your self-righteousness is even more annoying! Tsk, Grandpa is so pitiful!]
Xu Yanrui gritted his teeth silently and said, I will endure it!
"As long as you take over the responsibility of making the plan, the contract will be yours. This deal is not a loss." Xu Yinyin tempted secretly.
"Who on earth is the one that you hold in such high esteem?" Xu Yanrui aroused her curiosity.
"You also know this person, Sun Min."
"She?" Xu Yanrui frowned. "She's your second aunt's woman. Are you asking me to poach her?"
He knew she had bad intentions!
"No, it's because you have a keen eye for talent that Secretary Sun has turned from evil to good."
Xu Yanrui was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
"Secretary Sun has extensive research into the practical applications of artificial intelligence, which is why she came up with this business plan, which the discerning client readily accepted. Secretary Sun has mentioned the prospects of this market to Second Aunt more than once, but without exception, she was rejected. Second Aunt holds a high position and has been in the business world for decades. Logically, her business acumen should be sharper than half the population. Yet, she unexpectedly gave up on such a promising industry. Why do you think that was?"
Xu Yanrui lowered his eyes and pondered, thinking of Tang Wan's sarcasm and ridicule towards him, and the frustration of being suppressed by her for so many years. In addition, ever since Guo Cheng was eliminated, she has been secretly meeting with other shareholders, and her intentions have long been obvious.
Xu Yinyin saw the gloom in his eyes and knew that he was thinking of Tang Wan's ambition. She continued, "It's not that Grandpa doesn't want to cultivate you, it's just that your brilliance has been overshadowed by others. If you don't have any achievements, how can you convince others? In my humble opinion, why don't you take this opportunity to fight a good turnaround and show Grandpa that although you may not be able to do it yourself, you have a keen eye and can choose the right people to fill the positions. This is also a manifestation of management ability, right?"
Xu Yanrui was amused by her words that were a mixture of praise and criticism. The little girl's mouth was really hilarious. She ate melons without caring about people's lives, and she spoke the truth very bluntly.
"Yinyin, I never thought you were useless. On the contrary, you are smarter than anyone else. I accepted your suggestion and I also took over the job."
"Yes, thank you, Second Uncle, but I have something else to report to you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Xu Yanrui got a great deal, so he was naturally easy to talk to.
Xu Yinyin took advantage of the situation and told her about Tang Wan using Sun Min's gambling husband to contain her. At the end, she added: "Adding icing on the cake will never be as profound as helping someone in need."
Xu Yanrui smiled and said, "Okay, I know what to do. Secretary Sun is the one I'm determined to hire. If she's really capable, I won't treat her unfairly."
"That's good. Let me thank Second Uncle on behalf of Secretary Sun."
Xu Yanrui patted her shoulder and said, "Your father is so lucky to have you."
A mischievous little girl.
After seeing Xu Yanrui off, Xu Yinyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, as long as I ensure that Grandpa's company has successors, my luxurious life can continue. Hard work isn't a good word; winning without effort is the true meaning of life."
[Umbro, I admire you more and more. You have a smart little brain.]
Xu Yinyin laughed with great enjoyment. Just as she was about to call the melon-eating team in, Xue Weiwei came in hurriedly.
"Yinyin, Director Yan's daughter Yan Yiyi is looking for you."
"Yan Yiyi?" Xu Yinyin wondered, "What does she want me to do? Is there a change in the cooperation?"
"That shouldn't be the case. She doesn't look like she's here to discuss business. She's alone."
"Is that so? I'll go take a look then."
"It's in the reception room next to your workstation."
"knew."
Xu Yinyin walked away, wondering, "Why would Yan Yiyi come to see me? I don't even know her well."
【You'll know once you've seen it. 】
As soon as Yan Yiyi saw Xu Yinyin, she smiled brightly, with curved eyebrows and bright eyes. Combined with her pure appearance like a girl next door, she could make people like her in an instant.
[Wow, Yan Yiyi is so beautiful. Luckily, she escaped the clutches of that scumbag mother and son, otherwise such a beautiful flower would have been ruined in the hands of such a bad person.]
[Of course not. That bastard Chen Xu deserves to die. He's really not worthy of this young lady.]
Yan Yiyi listened to the two people's words silently, and the smile on the corners of her lips became brighter.
Xu Yinyin is a great benefactor to her. Without her, she would still be stuck in the quagmire. She must become good friends with her, play together, and enjoy the fun together.
"Hello, Miss Xu, I'm sorry to bother you." Yan Yiyi said apologetically.
"No, no, actually I should go to your house to thank your father for giving us the opportunity to cooperate with you. Please sit down and talk." Xu Yinyin greeted politely.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh at the family reunion banquet a few days ago. I'm here today to apologize. I feel really bad for ruining your mood because of our family affairs. I hope you can forgive me."
"No, no, it was just a small incident. I forgot about it a long time ago. Please don't take it to heart. And don't use honorifics anymore. We look about the same age. Just call me Yin Yin."
Yan Yiyi looked at her with a smile and nodded in agreement, "Yinyin."
"Look, calling me like that makes us seem closer, doesn't it?"
"Yin Yin, I want to invite you to my horse ranch this weekend as an apology. Are you willing?"
"Horse farm? The kind where you can ride horses?" Xu Yinyin asked directly.
“You can ride horses, and you can also go hot air ballooning and paragliding.”
"Wow, then I want to go. It must be fun." Xu Yinyin looked excited.
It turns out that those who know how to play are rich people, great!
"By the way, will President Yan go?" Xu Yinyin looked nervous.
If Mr. Yan goes, it will become a business meeting, what a bummer!
"My father has something to do back home, so he won't go. This is a personal invitation."
"Yeah, okay, I'll definitely go."
"Then let's exchange contact information, and I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"OK."
[By the way, why did Mr. Yan suddenly return to his hometown? ]
[What else can I do? Clean up the mess.]
How do you say it?
Yan Yiyi pricked up her ears silently when she heard that. Her father only said that he had something to deal with, but he didn't mention what it was. She asked her mother, but her mother was also hesitant, which made her very curious.
[Didn't I mention before that his third brother had a son with his brother-in-law? Ever since they had their son, the couple has been spoiling him. The child is now a bit of a tyrant, constantly getting into trouble and causing unrest in the family. The couple thinks their son is probably useless, so they're thinking of making a comeback, finding another brother-in-law to have another child, and then learning from their experience to raise a well-behaved child.]
[...Oh my god, what kind of train of thought is this? Are you sure it's not out of greed?]
Yan Yiyi's eyes widened. It turned out that the youngest son of her third uncle was actually the son of her third aunt and her uncle-in-law. Wasn't this incest? Moreover, they were planning to have another child?
For a moment I didn’t know which one to shock first!
【That must be because of greed.】
When my third brother's family made this unreasonable request, did my brother-in-law slap him in the face to wake him up?
[My brother-in-law didn't hit me. It was Yan Feng who rushed back overnight who beat me. He not only slapped me, but also beat me with a barrage of punches, leaving me unconscious. Then, the accompanying ambulance took me to my own hospital for proper treatment.]
[Hahahaha, is it okay to beat someone up with an ambulance? ]
Yan Yiyi was shocked and imagined the scene in her mind. It was quite satisfying.
The fact that Uncle San's family is obsessed with their son has always been Dad's biggest headache. He thought that as he grew older, his thoughts on him would have faded, but he didn't expect that he would do such an unethical thing. It's really appalling.
Moreover, this matter was probably revealed by Yin Yin while she was eating melons, because her father usually has no time to take care of the affairs of his hometown. Apart from satisfying their material life, he has no time to take care of anything else.
In addition, the two uncles and the aunt were already over 40 years old and no longer needed anyone to supervise them all the time. No one would have thought that they would do such an incredible thing.
[I guess my third sister-in-law won't give up easily.]
Of course she wouldn't give up, but Yan Feng, as the eldest brother, held great prestige in the family and was the financial purveyor of the entire family wealth. Everyone depended on him for a good life, so even if she felt angry and resentful, she didn't dare to make a big fuss. Firstly, it was a family scandal, and secondly, if she really angered her eldest brother, her good life would be over.
[But since my third brother's family did something that would make our ancestors so angry that they would flip open their coffins, there should be some punishment, right? Otherwise, why would Director Yan come all the way back?]
Yan Feng certainly had his reasons. He spread the word that since his third brother's family wanted a son so badly, and were so obsessed with it that they disregarded their ancestors' reputation and family precepts, it showed that they had no regard for this family at all. Therefore, he immediately crossed his name off the family tree, and from then on, there was no place for him in the Yan family.
[Wow, is Mr. Yan so cruel? ]
[That's called cruelty. Compared to the awful things they did, this is considered merciful.]
[That’s right.]
Not only did Yan Feng remove their names from the family tree, he also froze the couple's assets, intending to force them out of the house. After all, for so many years, the couple had done nothing, receiving millions in company dividends every year, and lived a carefree life.
As the eldest brother, Yan Feng, after his parents' early death, managed the company while caring for his younger siblings. He considered himself the pillar of the family, single-handedly making decisions on all matters, big and small. As the company gradually improved, their material lives improved, and their siblings began to live a life of ease and comfort. He thought this was his way of paying homage to his deceased parents, but he never imagined that it was precisely because of this easy life that such a scandal arose.
So, Mr. Yan wants to deprive them of their rights and make them suffer, so they won't want to have a son anymore?
Yes, when you're hustling for three meals a day, waking up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs, earning less than a beggar, and spending most of your money on raising your children, naturally all your thoughts and delusions are gone. Furthermore, the more unruly the children are, the more troublesome they become. The main point is that you've brought it upon yourself, and you'll never forget it.
I think this punishment is quite good, and the custodial couple is impressed.
[So, Mr. Yan is a very upright person. If he sees a relative make a mistake, he will punish them without hesitation.]
Although Mr. Yan's integrity and strictness are admirable, he still has a rigid and stubborn side when it comes to dealing with his daughter's affairs. Fortunately, he discovered that Yiyi was being bullied by the scumbag mother and son, otherwise Yiyi might have become the second Zheng Sisi.
Speaking of this, Yan Yiyi once again looked at Xu Yinyin with gratitude. Their family survived because of her voice. In her heart, Yiyi will always be the person she wants to protect.
In order to get along with her better, of course we have to start by being friends.
The weekend arrived quickly, and Yan Yiyi drove to pick up Xu Yinyin at the agreed time.
Xu Yinyin looked out the window, looking forward to the fun activities she would have in a while. For this day, she had made a travel guide online in advance, for fear of making a fool of herself.
Since the family reunion banquet, she has received many visiting cards from famous ladies and wives, and for the first time she has a personal experience of what it means to be a rich lady.
Although she is committed to being a waste in a wealthy family, being a waste does not mean being rude. She still needs to observe the etiquette that should be possessed in many social occasions, otherwise it will be a disgrace to the Xu family.
Even though her parents, grandfather and aunt repeatedly emphasized that she didn't need to be harsh on herself no matter what the occasion and should do whatever made her feel comfortable, she knew very well that she couldn't use her family's love as a license to do whatever she wanted.
Otherwise, if you really get into trouble and get hated, will you still be able to live a wealthy life?
"Yinyin, you can play whatever you want when we get here. Don't be restrained."
"Yeah, come to think of it, I've never ridden a horse before. I probably need some instruction from a trainer."
Yan Yiyi smiled and said, "To be honest, even though I have a horse farm at home, I've never ridden a horse."
"ah?"
"It's a good opportunity for us to learn together."
"Okay, okay."
However, when the two arrived at the horse farm, they found that An Jing's plan to learn horse riding had been completely disrupted by a dozen enthusiastic young ladies.
As the car drove into the private driveway, we saw a group of young ladies in gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup jumping for joy from afar. The moment they recognized the car, they jumped for joy.
"Ahhh, they're coming, hurry up."
Catching a glimpse of the rapidly approaching figure, Yan Yiyi had no choice but to step on the brakes. Xu Yinyin's eyes widened slightly, and she looked in surprise at the beautiful young ladies who were like butterflies and were running towards them, completely stunned.
[Oh my god, if you didn't know, you would think they were just fangirls. So enthusiastic!]
[It seems like they've all been at the family reunion party before, so I'm afraid they sent visiting cards before.]
After Xiao Qi's reminder, Xu Yinyin gradually matched the people in front of her with the visiting cards. They were all daughters of various groups and chaebols, and their family backgrounds were comparable to that of the Xu family.
"It seems like they are all here for Yin Yin." Yan Yiyi concluded with a smile.
What Xu Yinyin saw at this moment was not the eldest lady, but various walking melon owners.
[Xiao Qi, I'll give you a minute to get familiar with the people in front of you. Remember to remind me who is who later. If there are any melons, eat them while you're at it!]
[Oh! ]
Xiaoqi quickly started facial recognition, and the moment the identity was confirmed, all the information came out.
When the young ladies started to greet Xu Yinyin, it introduced each of them to her one by one, then added, "Unfortunately, these well-behaved young ladies don't have any melons, but that beautiful figure not far away does. Want some?"
Upon hearing this, everyone tacitly glanced at the car parked in the right lane. A tall and handsome man was very gentlemanly opening the door for the lady in the passenger seat.
The haute couture suit makes his figure look tall and majestic, and the watch revealed when his long arms are stretched out highlights his noble status. Looking at his extraordinary handsome face and noble temperament, he is definitely a rich young man.
Looking at the lady in the passenger seat, her high-slit tight long skirt outlines her graceful figure, with a slender swan neck and straight shoulders. It is obvious that she has the body shape from practicing dancing since she was a child. Her black hair is loosely tied into a low bun, with a few strands of hair hanging down at her temples, exuding a hint of lazy comfort in her elegance.
[Wow, is this lady the legendary goddess with a great atmosphere? She's so beautiful!]
[This girl is called Song Qing, a popular young actress. The man is called Ji Kai, a second-generation wealthy man worth over 100 million yuan. Song Qing is his pet.]
[Business tycoon vs. popular young actress, isn't this forced love entering reality? Slurp.]
[No, that's not true. It's not forced love. We just get what we need.]
Let me guess, a young actress just entered the entertainment industry and found it difficult to get ahead without connections, so she met a big shot at a company-hosted drinking party. It's like trading beauty for resources, money for beauty, right?
[My guess was half right. The boss had already investigated Xiaohua before she approached him.]
[Oh? Could it be that the boss had evil intentions before?]
[How should I put it, do you know Bai Yueguang's substitute? ]
[Why do all men have white moonlight? Don’t you feel bored? ]
[You know, what you can't get always makes you restless.]
[This is hilarious. He's worth over 100 million. There's no woman he can't get. Unless she doesn't like him at all.]
The young ladies nodded silently in their hearts, isn’t that right!
[Of course he can get women, but the key is that he is attracted to men.]
【ha? ! 】
[And this man, unfortunately, is Xiaohua's twin brother.]
[Oh my god, is this really that exciting? Tell me more!]
The young ladies immediately turned into wild beasts, jumping up and down, scratching their heads and ears, and kept urging in their hearts, "Hurry up and speak, don't force us to kneel down!!!"
Thanks to Suiqi for the irrigation, jiu mi~
