Chapter 134: 134 I can give you all you want_1
However, Ye Mengyan could have never imagined in her wildest dreams.
That Yuan Li had already betrayed her trust.
Gu Yuanzhou did not say much more, directly gesturing to the security guard who nodded and walked out, soon returning with two uniformed officers.
Upon seeing these officers, Yuan Li immediately panicked.
“President Gu, what is the meaning of this?”
“I gave you a chance earlier. If you chose not to admit your deeds, let the law deal with you. Bribery is a crime, and the punishment is up to the court to decide.”
Hearing Gu Yuanzhou’s words, Yuan Li knew he meant business; she no longer dared to argue and immediately crumpled.
“President Gu, I was wrong. Please grant me another chance; I will confess everything.”
Yuan Li’s attitude changed drastically, pleading with Gu Yuanzhou, but he dismissed her impatiently.
One of the officers immediately handcuffed Yu Li and took her away.
Ye Mengyan, having never witnessed such a situation before, was stunned.
It took her a while to regain her composure.
Only after everyone had left, she approached Gu Yuanzhou.
“President Gu, could someone be trying to frame her? I can’t believe she would do such a thing.”
Seeing Ye Mengyan’s persistence, Gu Yuanzhou showed her the video clip of Yuan Li in her dirty transaction with the supplier.
After seeing the video, Ye Mengyan was shocked. She couldn’t defend Yuan Li anymore and immediately tried to distance herself from the scandal.
“Ah, I never imagined she was capable of such a thing. I judged her incorrectly. I apologize President Gu, I thought she was a decent person.”
As for Ye Mengyan’s explanation, in my opinion, seemed rather insincere.
A case of too little too late.
However, Gu Yuanzhou decided to believe her.
“It’s alright, it’s best to avoid relatives like her in the future.”
“President Gu, are you upset with me?”
At this point, I couldn’t help but chime in,
“The company has already suffered a large loss. If this continues, the company will face serious financial losses.”
“Song Xiaoyun, are you intentionally acting against me? I had good intentions, nobody could have anticipated this.”
I chuckled lightly,
“What good would acting against you do?”
“All you want is for President Gu to punish me, right? Fine, come at me. I’m willing to accept any punishment; I won’t run away.”
I ignored her, instead turned to Gu Yuanzhou,
“President Gu, this situation indeed her responsibility. I suggest we make her responsible for recovering the losses! Let her rectify her own mistakes.”
Listeing to my suggestion, Gu Yuanzhou turned to Ye Mengyan,
“If you can recover the losses, then this matter will no longer be related to you.”
“I…”
Despite her initial hesitation, Ye Mengyan eventually put her pride aside, agreeing on the spot,
“Deal, I’ll take responsibility for recovering the losses!”
“Well done, Miss Ye, I’ve recorded your words. I hope you live up to them.”
I took out my phone and waved the recorded conversation in front of her.
During my interaction with Ye Mengyan, Gu Yuanzhou studied me attentively all the while.
When Ye Mengyan left, Gu Yuanzhou got up and walked to my side.
“President Gu, did I do something wrong?”
“Why aren’t you eager to punish her?”
“Can President Gu bear to do so?”
“If you hadn’t made any suggestion, how would you know that I couldn’t bear to do so?”
As Gu Yuanzhou said this, he began gradually closing the distance between us.
Without thinking, I took a step back, at the same time continuing to explain,
“Punishing her is meaningless since she isn’t an employee of the company. As a shareholder of Zhenyi Company, I am more interested in recovering the company’s losses.”
My last words came out without thinking and seemed to shock Gu Yuanzhou.
He stepped forward, pushing me back against the wall.
“What did you just say? Repeat that!”
I realized I had misspoken.
Since Zhenyi Company was something we founded together, I naturally wanted to protect it as I would my own child.
Having let my guard down, I had inadvertently let that slip. Now faced with Gu Yuanzhou’s questioning, I quickly reacted,
“President Gu, what I meant is, if I were to look at this situation as a shareholder, I would certainly want to recover all the losses…”
“You certainly think on your feet!”
He looked at me intensely, then finally pulled back his hand.
Then, he handed me a stack of documents.
“What is this?”
“You’ve expressed a desire to be part of the management team, right? These are your appointment documents as the Deputy General Manager!”
I took the documents and saw that it indeed was my appointment as the Deputy General Manager.
Back in the day, when Zhenyi Company was on a steady upward trajectory, I had desired to occupy this position.
But then I got pregnant!
My love for Gu Yuanzhou led me to give up my ambition.
I chose instead to focus on family, giving birth and raising our child…
Receiving this appointment letter now, my emotions were mixed.
This was a position I came to hold after figuratively dying once.
“Do you like it?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s voice echoed near my ear.
Only then did I realize, we were extremely close, our breaths mingling.
His warm breath seemed to encase my neck.
Perhaps it was due to the many years spent with this man, I had become accustomed to his intimacy.
Every time he came close, my natural instinct was to embrace him.
Our intimate married life had dissolved all boundaries between us.
Although there was resentment in my heart towards him, the sense of intimacy was something I seldom did take notice of.
Ordinarily, I could only remind myself to maintain an appropriate distance with him, the kind any normal man and woman would keep.
“I don’t care whether I like it or not… I only want to contribute as best I can in improving Zhenyi.”
Gu Yuanzhou nodded, and pulled back his chair to sit.
“I can give you everything you want, but can you give me what I want?”
“What does President Gu want?”
“You don’t understand?”
His words left me speechless.
Doesn’t he want Ye Mengyan? He already has her, so what else could he possibly desire?
“I don’t understand!”
“Then think about it, and tell me once you’ve figured it out.”
His words settled in the silence, leaving their implicit meaning hanging in the air.
“Alright!”
I didn’t ponder much over Gu Yuanzhou’s words.
With my appointment letter in hand, stamped and signed by him, I was excited to get to work.
First, I reinstated the former senior accountant.
Then, I started inspecting the new management team recently appointed in the company, watching out for any shady activities. If I found any, they would be sacked on the spot.
I had to formulate some new strategies and plans as well.
As my workday ended, Gu Yuanzhou gave me a call.
“Meet me at the Mengle Restaurant at nine tonight. There’s a birthday celebration, and your presence is required!”
I was busy at the moment and didn’t pay much attention, but I agreed nonetheless.
What I hadn’t expected was that this birthday celebration would lead to my complete and utter downfall.
