These are sins I deserve to suffer; I cannot escape them.
Li Yunwei nodded, supporting my decision, but then, remembering something else, she looked at me with concern: "Are you really planning to keep this from Mr. Su forever? With the Su family's power, it will be difficult for you to keep it a secret."
"That's why I thought about selling the company and moving abroad."
"So who do you want to sell the company to? Do you have any alternatives?" Li Yunwei asked proactively.
I looked at her, and suddenly realized something. "It happened so suddenly, I didn't think about it. What, you have something in mind?"
Li Yun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke her mind—
"Isn't your roommate Chen Wanzhen coming over? I was thinking... could she possibly become a senior executive in your company? I'll go back and talk to my dad and brother. If it's possible, it'll be like our Li family is controlling the company, and you can hold a small percentage of shares, so you'll always have a profit. Our family isn't good at the fashion industry, but with Chen Wanzhen in charge, there shouldn't be any problems."
I looked at my best friend in surprise, and then it all suddenly clicked in my mind!
I racked my brains last night but couldn't come up with a solution. I kept thinking about where to find capital.
I never expected capital to be right in front of me.
"Chen Wanzhen has a new job, but that's negotiable. At worst, she'll pay a penalty for breach of contract." The more I thought about it, the better I felt this idea was.
I have no worries now that I've entrusted the company to the person I trust most.

The following day, Li Yunwei drove me to the airport to pick up Chen Wanzhen.
Upon seeing me, Chen Wanzhen exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you say you were too busy to pick me up? Why did you still come?"
I miss you.
The three of us women got into the car and headed straight for Li Yunwei's restaurant.
Chen Wanzhen and I had dinner at Yuyuan. That time, Xu Qianning acted tough and paid for our meal.
The three of us sat down, and I offered tea instead of wine to express my gratitude for my old friend's visit. Then, when the food was served, I didn't mince words and went straight to the point, stating my thoughts.
Chen Wan was stunned.
He looked at us and said, "It's not April Fool's Day today, is it?"
“No,” I emphasized with a smile, “Wanzhen, I’m not joking. I do intend to sell the company, and I do want to hire you as the company’s vice president. Of course, if you agree to this arrangement, then it’s not me hiring you, it’s Weiwei.”
Yang Qianmu's contract has not expired, and he has remained the company's general manager for the past few years.
The position of vice president of the company has been vacant for a long time, and I have been handling many of the things in the past.
If I leave, Chen Wanzhen will be the perfect person to take over this position.
Chen Wanzhen looked puzzled, paused, and asked seriously, "Why do you suddenly want to sell the company? Are you short of money?"
"No, I..." I wanted to say it directly, but I was worried that someone might overhear me, so I leaned close to Chen Wanzhen's ear and whispered something.
Sure enough, Chen Wanzhen's eyes widened and her mouth gaped as she stared at me in disbelief. Then her gaze slid down to my still flat stomach.
"This...this is...Mr. Su's?" After a long while, she finally managed to stammer out the question.
I nodded.
"My God... This is the perfect embodiment of a melodramatic CEO romance novel, both of you! Have you thought it through? Are you willing to give up all of this?"
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. I've made up my mind. If I want to keep my child, I have to give up everything here. But once the child is older, I will continue to work hard to build my career."
In recent years, I have also gained some influence in the international fashion industry.
Actually, work isn't difficult for me, as long as I'm willing.
Chen Wanzhen pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Yunwei: "You really trust me that much?"
Li Yun smiled and raised his glass to her: "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. I trust you, and I also trust Jiang Wan's judgment."
Chen Wanzhen picked up her wine glass, and the two of them lightly clinked glasses.
"Give me a day to think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"good!"
After dinner, Chen Wanzhen and I went back to our newly rented apartment.
"It's great, the neighborhood is nice, and the apartment layout is good too. The only downside is—I thought we could be roommates again like we were in college, but who knew you'd run away!"
Chen Wanzhen paced around the room, pouting and saying unhappily.
I smiled apologetically: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it either."
Chen Wanzhen sat down on the sofa and remained silent for a while. "I think your suggestion during dinner is feasible. However, I need to communicate with the headhunter."
"Okay, I'll pay the penalty."
"No need, this is my personal choice, I can do it myself—"
"Wanzhen, you've helped me so much, so don't be so polite. I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract, and you can start working at [Banquet] anytime. I'm so happy to hand the company over to you; this is the perfect ending."
Seeing my sincerity, Chen Wanzhen nodded: "Okay, then I'll do as you say. If your health permits, I'll go to the company with you tomorrow."
"good."
When are you planning to leave?
"It will take at least half a month to change the equity and legal representative; the process is not that quick."
"That's good... At least we can live together for another two weeks and have a good chat."
The word "cohabitation" made me laugh out loud. We hugged each other affectionately and reminisced about our school days.
Li Yunwei is very efficient. I don't know how she persuaded her family to agree to acquire my company.
When the news spread, some colleagues were agitated, thinking something had happened at the company.
I immediately had HR issue a notice to everyone, telling them not to panic and that they would not be laid off without cause, but hoping that everyone would keep a low profile about this and not spread it around.
I was wary of Su Shenglin, afraid that he was still watching me and might notice something was wrong.
