Chapter 121 Criminal Offenses
Dou Qiaoyun chimed in, "Exactly! It's better if the woman is older; she'll know how to take care of the family and manage a household!"
Dong Yue'e couldn't help but glance at Zhang Pengfei a few more times, becoming more and more satisfied with each look. She praised, "Pengfei has been an upright, capable, and caring child since he was a child. Any girl who marries him will surely enjoy a lifetime of happiness!"
In return, Dou Qiaoyun immediately praised Lin Qiaoni: "Oh my, your Qiaoni is wonderful! She's beautiful and sensible. I've watched her grow up; she can't be bad! And with our Pengfei..."
Just as the matchmaking was about to begin, Chen Jingyang coldly interrupted, "Auntie, let's talk about something else!"
He reached out and put his arm around Zhang Pengfei's shoulder, pulling him closer to him in a show of defiance: "Pengfei just had major surgery and hasn't fully recovered yet..."
He paused, a faint smile playing on his lips, and spoke very slowly, deliberately emphasizing, "It's hard to say whether my body's functions will be normal in the future, and I don't know if I'll be able to continue working. Let's not hold such a good girl back any longer."
Zhang Pengfei was raised by him with great care and attention, how could he possibly hand him over to someone else!
Dong Yue'e was taken aback: "Pengfei had surgery? What kind of surgery? I was wondering why the child hadn't been talking much today."
"My brother fell and hit his head!" Hua Hua interjected from the side. "He still has such a long gash on his head!"
"Tsk!" Dou Qiaoyun glared at Hua Hua, then turned to Dong Yue'e with a smile and said, "She's almost recovered now and has already been discharged from the hospital."
Chen Jingyang snorted softly, a faint smile on his face, and said, "He's not better yet. He's in the recovery phase. He just doesn't need to stay in the hospital all the time. He still needs to go to the hospital for treatment every day."
Dong Yue'e and Dou Qiaoyun frowned at him simultaneously. Chen Jingyang greeted them boldly, his back straight, chest out, and head held high. It was as if his body was covered in mouths, each one saying: "Look, look, take a good look. Do you think I'm afraid of you looking at me?"
Dou Qiaoyun didn't want to offend Chen Jingyang. She knew that Chen Jingyang had helped Zhang Pengfei a lot, and she also knew that Hua Hua was now attending such a good school in Beijing entirely thanks to Chen Jingyang.
If it weren't for Chen Jingyang and the others taking care of Zhang Pengfei at the hospital, she wouldn't know if she would ever see her son again!
She had no choice but to agree with Chen Jingyang: "Yes, she does need to go to the hospital, but look at Feifei now, she looks no different from a normal person, she will definitely make a full recovery."
The light in Dong Yue'e's eyes dimmed considerably, but it wasn't completely extinguished: "That's right, young people recover quickly. Pengfei's survival of this ordeal means he's bound to have good fortune in the future. Anyway, we'll be able to see each other often in the future, and we can look after each other if anything happens."
Chen Jingyang narrowed his eyes and quietly asked Manager Chang, "Doesn't Nurse Lin have a boyfriend?"
"Probably not. Dr. Qin pursued her, but he didn't succeed in winning her over."
Chen Jingyang rolled his eyes but didn't say anything.
With Dong Yue'e there, Dou Qiaoyun was happy to stay, and Chen Jingyang paid the deposit that very day.
Dong Yue'e couldn't help but sigh, "Qiaoyun, is that person really just Pengfei's friend? He seems almost like your son. Oh my, he spends so much money on you without batting an eye. I really envy you!"
When Chen Jingyang is out in public, he is upright, elegant and noble beyond compare. Every word and action is well-ordered and there is not a single fault in him. He is clearly a person who is capable of great things.
Moreover, he was genuinely good to Dou Qiaoyun; it wasn't an act, he truly treated her as an elder.
Although Dou Qiaoyun was not very educated, she was not stupid. Over time, Chen Jingyang had become the person she trusted and was closest to in Beijing besides her son and daughter.
Being envied by others brings double the pleasure, which is one of the reasons why most people like to share it with others.
Dou Qiaoyun finally smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "If I could have a son like that, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night."
Chen Jingyang thought to himself, "If you're willing, it's not impossible, but I'm afraid that even if I want to be your son, you might not necessarily want to."
Hua Hua was living at school, Dou Qiaoyun settled in a health and wellness community, Zhang Pengfei was recovering rapidly in all aspects, and Chen Jingyang was finally able to free up some time to do things he hadn't had a chance to do before.
On an ordinary Monday afternoon, around 5 p.m., Li Huina handed Chen Jingyang an anonymous package. Chen Jingyang opened it, frowned immediately, and instructed Li Huina, "Call Lin Zheyan over!"
Lin Zheyan entered Chen Jingyang's office and came out less than two minutes later. He first went to the office of Manager Liu, the IT security manager, to have a cup of tea, then went to chat with Director Zhang of the Human Resources Department, and finally went to the office of the company's legal counsel, Attorney Li, to deliver some documents.
Around 7 p.m., Manager Liu came out of his office and went to the top floor. Director Zhang also went to the top floor around 7:10 p.m., and Attorney Li took the elevator to the top floor at 7:15 p.m.
The top floor was brightly lit as usual, but something was different—it was unusually quiet, and there wasn't a single employee in the public areas.
Attorney Li knocked on Chen Jingyang's office door, and after entering, he was taken aback to find that there were actually two other people besides him!
Manager Liu and Director Zhang were also surprised to see that the visitor was Attorney Li, and they felt that what Chen Jingyang was about to say was probably extraordinary.
Lin Zheyan closed the office door and stood at the entrance like a guardian deity.
Chen Jingyang's expression was cold and stern as he spoke calmly: "Now that everyone is here, I'll begin. First of all, thank you all for coming at this time. What I'm about to talk about is the most serious crisis the company has faced since its inception."
He glanced at the three men and said slowly, "Before we begin, I must ask that you all keep this absolutely confidential until it is completely resolved. You must not reveal a single word to anyone, including other senior executives, especially Chen Qinian. If anyone feels they cannot do this, they may leave now."
The three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although Chen Qinian is the CEO, it's questionable whether Tanzhi could even exist without Chen Jingyang. While their positions in the company seem equal, they are actually worlds apart.
Chen Jingyang took out a photocopy of the anonymous tip and distributed it to the three people: "Take a look at this first, this is what we received today."
The room was completely silent for a moment, with only the rustling sound of papers turning over.
Attorney Li's expression grew increasingly grim, Director Zhang couldn't help but gasp, while Manager Liu quickly scanned the technical details.
Director Zhang looked up at Chen Jingyang, his voice trembling slightly: "This... if all of this is true, then it's not just a disciplinary violation, but a criminal offense! And the amount involved is enormous..."
