Chapter 46 Overseas Assignment
"Teacher Chen is here too! Xiaoqin, Wenwen, come in quickly. Wenwen, be careful, the board is very slippery."
"Gu Gu, why didn't you tell me to be careful too?"
"Wenwen is pregnant, of course she needs to be careful, but you're not!"
Zhong Xiaoqin then realized that she hadn't told Gu Jia the news, and felt a little embarrassed. "Gu Gu, actually I'm pregnant too, less than a month later than Wenwen."
Gu Jia looked at Chen Yu in surprise, "That's really good news! This is double happiness for Teacher Chen's family, congratulations!" What she really wanted to say was, Teacher Chen is awesome!
"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be two surprises!" Chen Yu held a pregnant woman's hand in each hand, leaving Gu Jia speechless.
The four sat on the sofa for a while, and then the florist prepared the materials. Knowing that there was a pregnant woman among them, the florist chose materials that were mildly irritating and generally not allergenic.
Gu Jia shared her recent experiences with Zhong Xiaoqin, especially the matter of Mrs. Yu, which Gu Jia described vividly, as if she had won a battle.
Chen Yu promptly commented, "Are you gloating over helping a mistress who has risen to power to consolidate her position in the family?"
Gu Jia's face froze.
Zhong Xiaoqin was still laughing carefree when Wang Wenwen came to her rescue, saying, "Brother Xiaoyu, don't mention those two words in front of me."
Zhong Xiaoqin understood now, turned around and glared at Chen Yu, looking both fierce and cute.
Chen Yu's words struck three people at once, achieving three goals with one stroke.
Zhong Xiaoqin said to Gu Jia, "Ignore him, you continue talking."
Gu Jia stopped worrying and continued to explain her plans, "I'm planning to open a dessert shop. I've found a location I like, but we'll be closing down next week. Can you guys give me some advice?"
Chen Yu couldn't sit still any longer. "Gu Jia, Xiaoqin and Wenwen are both wealthy wives, and I've never seen you put in this much effort! Aren't you just going to the long way around?"
Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Chen Yu. "I did this for the sake of the order, to exchange information. Besides, Xiaoqin, Wenwen, and I have been best friends for so long, we've already figured things out, right, Xiaoqin?"
Chen Yu didn't argue with Gu Jia anymore. You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. "I'll just give you one piece of advice: In the information age, you need to carefully verify a lot of information yourself. Don't believe everything others say."
Chen Yu was obviously implying something, but Gu Jia couldn't possibly know that Chen Yu was referring to the time when she was framed by Mrs. Li and forced to buy the tea factory.
Neither Zhong Xiaoqin nor Wang Wenwen objected to Gu Jia opening a dessert shop. Wang Wenwen knew that it wouldn't make a difference if she had an opinion, while Zhong Xiaoqin simply had no objection.
Chen Yu didn't stay at Gu Jia's house for long. After leaving the two pregnant women behind, Chen Yu went to the next building and took a quick look at the apartment. The furniture and appliances had all been chosen when the apartment was handed over, and they had been there for two years. Even the renovations were in place, and if he didn't move in soon, they would start to show signs of oxidation.
When he went downstairs, he wanted to find the property management staff and ask them to coordinate a housekeeping company to do the cleaning. But unexpectedly, he met Chen Yangyu's nemesis: Zhong Xiaoyang.
Online, everyone is calling Zhong Xiaoyang a male version of a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), but Chen Yu doesn't think so. Chen Yu thinks Zhong Xiaoyang is a beast.
Regardless of whether he was sincere towards Zhong Xiaoqin or not, just condemn him outright.
The TV series only mentioned that Zhong Xiaoyang was a rich second-generation heir. Chen Yu knew that only rich second-generation heirs had the time, energy, and money to play games with life, and even with other people's lives. Therefore, Chen Yu had investigated Zhong Xiaoyang five years ago. He found several people named Zhong Xiaoyang—from Northeast China, businessmen, many in total—and it took a lot of effort to distinguish them one by one. After running around for so long, Chen Yu almost felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill before finally finding the one who looked most like him, who was actually a recent college student.
They hired many private investigators to investigate Zhong Xiaoyang's background and corruption. They found evidence that Zhong Xiaoyang's uncle needed to work on a sewing machine for at least ten years. Without hesitation, they arranged for someone to file a formal complaint and bring them all down in one fell swoop.
Having confirmed that Zhong Xiaoyang's uncle had been taken away and that Zhong Xiaoyang's family business had been seized, Chen Yu didn't do much more. He simply got up and left, knowing that taking drastic measures would easily instill fear in others. Two years later, Chen Yu investigated again, but the Zhong Xiaoyang family showed no signs of resurgence.
Unexpectedly, despite Zhong Xiaoyang's family's decline, he still ended up working at the Junyue Mansion property management company. Chen Yu, of course, didn't know that while Zhong Xiaoyang's family was portrayed as wealthy second-generation heirs in the drama, they were only slightly wealthier than the average family. At their peak, they were roughly on par with Gu Jia's family. Later, Zhong Xiaoyang's uncle was dismissed from his post, though he didn't go to jail, his business was severely impacted. Without protection, he suffered several losses and learned his lesson, ceasing his antics. In the drama, Zhong Xiaoyang's property was one of his fallback options, but he had become accustomed to a dissolute lifestyle, lacking any skills or knowledge. It was only through connections that his family managed to get him a job at the Junyue Mansion property management company.
Getting into the property management department of Junyue Mansion isn't easy, especially for office positions. Some people say that Zhong Xiaoqin is also a college graduate, so why is she only working in property management? It depends on what kind of company it is. Some companies are very difficult to get into. If you are willing to work hard and are ambitious, your future is still very bright.
Without making a scene in the property management lobby, Chen Yu explained the situation to the front desk, left the property management's phone number, and then left the property management office.
Find an open space and call Wang Qinglin. Wang Qinglin has some shares in the property management company. Ask Wang Qinglin to investigate who helped Zhong Xiaoyang get into the company. If it's not a very important position, let this guy who opened the door go to another place for two years. You have to pay the price for doing something wrong!
Back at Gu Jia's house, the three of them were nearing the end of their flower arranging class. Chen Yu was waiting in the living room when Wang Qinglin called. Chen Yu answered, and Wang Qinglin told him about how Zhong Xiaoyang had been pushed into the job through connections by Xu Meng, the vice president of the sales department, who had the authority to interfere in personnel matters. Moreover, he'd heard that Xu Meng was from Northeast China, and the property management had decided to send him to the Northwest branch to assist the branch's sales department in expanding business.
Chen Yu expressed his gratitude and said he would treat Wang Qinglin to drinks again when he had time. Wang Qinglin's concern for Chen Yu's request indicated he had an ulterior motive. Mrs. Wang had met Chen Yu through Gu Jia's introduction, and after that, Gu Jia was no longer involved—that's how business people are. Bringing Mrs. Yu with the fireworks order already constituted a transaction; Mrs. Wang had been with Wang Qinglin for decades and was already a shrewd businesswoman. Wang Qinglin understood that the essence of business was exchange. During his two previous meetings with Chen Yu, he proposed a plan to collaborate on an unmanned production facility. The hype was secondary; the main goal was to maximize production capacity, recoup the investment in two years, and generate pure profit in the third. The factory was ready except for Chen Yu's technical support.
Two weeks later, Chen Yu returned to Junyue Mansion to check on the cleaned apartment and, incidentally, to see how Zhong Xiaoyang was doing. Upon arriving at the property management office, he looked around but couldn't find Zhong Xiaoyang. After some discreet inquiries, he learned that Zhong Xiaoyang had gone to the Northwest with Vice President Xu to expand the market. Zhong Xiaoyang was notoriously lazy, and some leaders had long disliked him. If he didn't go with them, he would likely be fired later. Now that he was in the Northwest, he wouldn't be coming back. Rumors had circulated that Zhong Xiaoyang's apartment was a haunted house filled with ghosts, and he had already sold it at a low price. There was nothing left for Zhong Xiaoyang in Shanghai!
The house was spotless, with no unpleasant smells. Chen Yu chose an auspicious day, brought two pregnant women and a few clothes, and that was it—the move was over. He even invited Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan to celebrate. Gu Jia was once again spurred on; Chen Yu's house resembled Mrs. Wang's, exuding an "upper-class" atmosphere. Gu Jia was determined to live that kind of life!
