Chapter 120: Why Is It Fang Yuan Again!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cheng Yuqi couldn’t help but think, ‘Why does it always have to be Fang Yuan? I brought my parents here to enjoy a day of golf to strengthen our family bond. 1 was making some progress, but now this company issue has put a damper on my parents’ good mood. All my efforts today seem to have been in vain. That troublesome Fang Yuan keeps popping up and affecting my mood!’
“What about Zhao Quan? He was the top person in charge before Yuanyuan took over the company. How could he not have known about something like this happening right under his nose?” Qiao Xinhui inquired.
“People are claiming that everything happened because of Zhao Quan’s coercion and bribery. 1 wonder if that’s true…”
If Zhao Quan was implicated, the company could lose more than ten million yuan this year…
“Zhao Quan was the cornerstone of the headquarters. 1 entrusted him with authority because 1 believed in his character and capabilities…” Qiao Xinhui hadn’t anticipated such a situation and suspected Zhao Quan’s involvement.
“But we lack sufficient evidence to convict him at the moment,” Cheng Ye lamented, the weight of the situation bearing down on him.
If Zhao Quan turned out to be the mastermind, the potential financial losses for the company in the current year were staggering.
“Do you think we should send some assistance to Yuanyuan?” Qiao Xinhui expressed concern for her daughter’s well-being.
However, Cheng Ye displayed confidence. “No, it’s unnecessary. While we were here playing, Yuanyuan has managed to uncover a multitude of issues. She’s more than capable of handling these on her own.”
“Ever since Yuanyuan took charge of the company, we’ve witnessed significant improvements,” Qiao Xinhui remarked, looking at Cheng Yuqi. “Yuqi, you should learn from your sister in the future…”
Yuanyuan’s managerial skills were clearly beyond her years. After all, she was their biological daughter, and her business acumen ran in the family. On the other hand, Yu Qi had been pampered since childhood, and even if she were given a company, it would be challenging for her to manage it as effectively as Yuanyuan.
“Yuqi won’t have to take over the company in the future. Let her continue being our little princess! When she finds a good husband and gets married, Dad and Mom will make sure she’s well taken care of,” Cheng Ye said with a warm smile, still treating her as a beloved member of the Cheng family.
Qiao Xinhui echoed the sentiment, saying, “That’s absolutely right. Look at your good friend, Mu Sha. Her sister’s dowry was worth 8oo million yuan, including 12 properties and 12 cars. Don’t worry, when you get married, your wedding will definitely be even more extravagant than her sister’s!”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqi felt a twinge of disappointment. The Cheng family was indeed affluent, but her wedding being more extravagant than her friend Mu Sha’s sister? What right did she have? It was far from the lavish treatment Fang Yuan was receiving. In just a few days back home, Fang Yuan had received hundreds of millions in pocket money and even been given a company. Her future prospects were promising, potentially worth even more! She had heard her parents talk about giving Fang Yuan more properties in the future. While her money might be spent sooner or later, those properties and shares would endure!
It seemed her parents were planning to send her off with a modest sum, a few houses, and some cars. Did they see her as some sort of pauper?
“Sister must have gone through a lot in the Fang family to understand the darker aspects of human nature so well…” Cheng Yuqi changed the subject, feigning sympathy. “Dad, Mom, we should treat Sister better from now on…” Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui, hearing her words, remembered the results of the recent investigation. Over the years, Yuanyuan had experienced harsh treatment in the Fang family. She had grown cold and strong-willed, likely having received little love or care.
“Yuqi is absolutely right. I’ll transfer some money to Yuanyuan to let her feel the warmth of family…” Without delay, Qiao Xinhui grabbed her phone and transferred 50 million yuan to Fang Yuan.
Cheng Ye followed suit, taking out his phone. “How much did you transfer to Yuanyuan? I’ll do the same… Let her know she not only has her Mom’s love but also her Dad’s.”
Cheng Yuqi couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming pang of jealousy. She had initially intended to subtly convey to her parents that Fang Yuan had grown up in a challenging environment and had complex thoughts, allowing her to discern the darker side of human nature. However, it appeared her parents had different intentions altogether.
On the other end, Fang Yuan’s phone unexpectedly vibrated a few times. She picked it up to find a message from Bo Yi.
“Yuanyuan,” his voice was deep and alluring, “I miss you.”
Fang Yuan replied, somewhat helplessly, “What’s going on?”
“Are you swamped with work?” He inquired, his voice husky and lazy, a soothing sound to her ears. “Do you need my assistance with it?”
She replied, “No, I’m good.”
“I’ve been yearning for you all morning,” Bo Yi’s yearning was evident in his voice. “1 wish you could wrap up your tasks quickly and be with me.”
Fang Yuan.
“There’s still an entire hour before I get to see you,” Bo Yi expressed his torment. “I want to video call you.”
Fang Yuan.
“Just for a little while,” Bo Yi anticipated that she might be hesitant. Before she could respond, he pleaded, “Just for a little while.”
Fang Yuan.
“Yuanyuan,” Bo Yi implored once more, “1 promise not to disrupt your work..”
