Chapter 148: 148: Nourished by Love_1
It’s convenient that I got rid of the previous accountant, Yuan Li, and the current accountant is Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen was among the first batch of older employees when the company was established. Although she’s now over fifty, she’s sharp and meticulous. She has worked for Zhenyi Company for many years without making any mistakes.
After being fired by Gu Yuanzhou, I brought her back to work.
At this time, Aunt Shen was grateful to me and was naturally willing to help me review Gu Yuanzhou’s expenditures during the New Year.
Nowadays, all accounts are kept on computers, so it’s easy to access information.
Soon, Aunt Shen found several transactions made by Gu Yuanzhou on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
“Miss Song, look at this!”
“Could you check where these transactions took place?”
“The main ones were in a pharmacy on Huaxi Road, for health products…”
Huaxi Road pharmacy?
I remember that Gu Yuanzhou buys supplements like bird’s nest from that pharmacy every year.
It would seem that I need to visit this pharmacy to uncover the truth…
“Aunt Shen, thank you very much! You’ve really helped me out.”
“That’s nothing, just a drop in the ocean. I am too old to do something big.”
“Aunt Shen, please don’t say that. This is why I called you back, because of the company’s trust in you. You are now essentially the steward of the company, and you must manage it well to honor the late Mrs. Gu.”
My words brought tears to Aunt Shen’s eyes, and she started to choke up,
“Mrs. Gu was such a good person, but tragically taken too soon. The company constantly grew when she was here. Ever since Miss Ye arrived, all sorts of problems have surfaced… I’m afraid the company may not last…”
There was something more in what Aunt Shen said, and I sensed the seriousness of the tone. I then brought a chair over and had a heart-to-heart talk with Aunt Shen.
That’s when I discovered that the woman, Ye Mengyan, is far more complicated than I had ever imagined.
With her current behavior, the company is surely not too far from collapse.
Learning about these dark secrets is quite shocking.
Finally, Aunt Shen held my hand,
“I was just a salaried worker, content with my monthly paycheck. But when I think about the blood, sweat, and tears Mrs. Gu poured into this company, it pains me to see it all go to waste. Miss Song, you are reasonable, you must make President Gu see reason.”
“Aah, you can never awaken a person who is pretending to be asleep, but, I’ll see to it that Zhenyi doesn’t go under.”
Why should I awaken Gu Yuanzhou?
If he wants to indulge in Ye Mengyan, then let him descend into hell with her.
But I will not allow the Zhenyi Company to be sacrificed alongside them.
Just as I was getting ready to go to the hospital with some documentation, I got an emergency call from Wenya.
“Ayun, Jian Jing is in trouble, can you drive over?”
“Sure!”
From the tone of Wenya’s voice, I could tell she was very worried. Without saying another word, I directly drove my BMW to Jian’s house.
When I arrived, I found Jian Jing sitting next to a flower bed in the courtyard. Her face was pale, and her mother-in-law was continuously berating her.
“Why can’t you take care of yourself at your age? Zihang is so busy with work, and now he has to worry about you!”
Wenya couldn’t bear it and directly retorted,
“Aunty, please watch your tongue. You know that Jian Jing is pregnant and yet you want her to go shopping for groceries and cook for everyone early in the morning? Besides, what heartache is Zihang experiencing? If he really cared, he would have taken Jian Jing to the hospital!”
The old lady got angry when she heard this, put her hands on her hips and started shouting at Wenya,
“It’s clear you have no manners. I went through great pains to raise my son, it’s only natural for a daughter-in-law to take care of her in-laws!”
“Cut the crap, you did raise your son!!! He is the one who should serve you, respect you, not your daughter-in-law. What does Jian Jing have to do with this? She was raised by her own mother and if she’s going to be respectful to someone then it’s her mother, none of your business.”
Upon hearing this, the old lady’s face turned red, and she got even more aggravated, pointing at Wenya’s nose,
“After marrying into our Yu Family, Jian Jing became one of us. She eats our food, lives in our house. What’s wrong with her doing chores? I’m saying, Jian Jing typically disrespects her elders. It seems she’s been influenced by you impolite girls.”
“Oh my, why is your language so unpleasant, you old lady? I’m the one who has no manners, you’ve got them?”
The two were arguing louder and louder, and I had to step in and settle things down.
“Aunty, do you care about the child in Jian Jing’s belly or not? After all, it’s your grandchild. If you care, then talk to us nicely, we’re here to help her.”
The old lady was silenced by my words.
Only then did Wenya and I manage to help Jian Jing into the car. The old lady should have come with us. After all, she is Jian Jing’s mother-in-law.
However, just as it was the old lady’s turn to get into the car, she suddenly said,
“Ah, I’ve something urgent at home, you go first, I’ll come later.”
Wenya rolled down the car window and shouted, “If you’re not going, then give us some money, maybe three to five hundred.”
The old lady retorted, “Why should I pay? I’m not the one who is sick!”
Then she ran off faster than a rabbit.
“Forget it, I’ll cover it!”
I shook my head, started the car, and drove off.
At this point, Jian Jing looked pale and held her belly tightly without uttering a word.
Since City Hospital No.1 was nearby, I went straight there.
There was a long line at the emergency department, and Wenya asked me to find Ding Yinuo.
Considering that Ding Yinuo and I had just had an argument, he might hold a grudge and refuse to help.
But seeing Jian Jing in such pain, I was worried that a delay might cause complications, so I went straight to Ding Yinuo’s office.
No one was there when I peered in from the door.
Just then, two passing nurses were chatting,
“Hey, did you see our new vice president of the hospital, young and attractive!”
“No, I was on duty and didn’t go to the meeting. But I’ve heard that she’s Ding Yinuo’s fiancée!”
“No wonder Dr. Ding has been single all this while. With such an attractive fiancée, he could hardly have an eye for anyone else!”
“I heard Dr. Ding was called into the vice president’s office… said it was for business that probably wasn’t business!”
The nurses covered their mouths and giggled, clearly enjoying the gossip.
To my surprise, Jiang Jiaying had already taken up her position so quickly. I was about to turn around and leave,
when I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
“Since you’re here, why don’t you come in and sit?”
Turning to look, I saw the man in the white coat, elegant and handsome, none other than Ding Yinuo.
For some reason, I could see a visible springtime warmth on his face.
“It seems love has been treating you well recently!”
