Chapter 147: Being short-handed
The Fu family has been in turmoil these past few days.
Fu Haidong issued an order to suspend An Ying from her duties and investigate her.
Lai Yuqiang looked at the email from the chairman informing An Ying of her suspension and investigation.
An Ying hasn't been to the company for several days.
Perhaps they were scared out of their wits and ran away?
Lai Yuqiang closed her laptop, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Everything is going according to her plan.
She hadn't anticipated the sudden withdrawal of funds from DM Bank.
However, who would have known that the director of DM Bank is Fu Chengli's mother?
Lai Yuqiang vaguely remembers that his mother was a designer who struggled to make a living abroad after her divorce.
It turned out she was a seasoned, wealthy, and beautiful woman.
Not only did they withdraw their investment from the QS project, but Lai Yu-Chiang's other work also came to a standstill.
Lai Yuqiang lit the cigarette from the corner of her mouth.
It doesn't matter. As long as we can kill An Ying, it's worth paying a price.
dong dong dong-
There was a knock on the door.
Xie Li stood at the door of the director's office.
"Director Lai, what do you mean by the new project you mentioned?"
Lai Yuqiang said lazily, "The QS project that An Ying was in charge of before was cancelled, but the subsequent energy projects cannot be stopped. She has been suspended from her duties and is under investigation. I want you to take over."
Xie Li was taken aback.
He immediately understood Lai Yuqiang's meaning: she wanted him to replace An Ying.
Although online public opinion has been brought under control, the investigation results regarding An Ying have not yet been released.
Why hastily change the person in charge when the matter is still unresolved?
That's too hasty.
It was as if they were afraid of giving An Ying time to clear her name.
Xie Li's eyes darted around:
"Director Lai, this isn't a good idea. If word gets out, people will think I'm the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes..."
Lai Yuqiang sneered: "You're overthinking it. An Ying caused trouble, she deserves it."
Xie Li thought for a moment, then put on a reluctant expression and said, "Alright then, I'll follow the leader's instructions."
Back in her office, Xie Li turned on her computer to check the new project information sent by Lai Yuqiang.
The idea for the new project is indeed quite good.
Although the overall approach couldn't match Anying's original QS project, it's understandable that the company's senior management came up with this alternative project to handle the aftermath and avoid delaying subsequent work.
But what if...?
As the saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
If the leak incident proves An Ying innocent, and she returns to her original position, she'll find all her past achievements attributed to Xie Li...
Then what is Xie Li, caught in the middle?
When An Ying first joined the company, Lai Yuqiang instigated her to quarrel with An Ying.
Fortunately, An Ying didn't hold it against her.
Otherwise, the two would have formed a grudge for no reason.
Xie Li refused to be Lai Yuqiang's henchman.
Xie Li picked up her phone and made a call.
"what are you doing?"
On the other end of the phone, An Ying, panting, said, "I'm moving, what's wrong?"
Xie Li: "........You're not in a hurry at all. The notice of your suspension and investigation has already been issued today, and you're leisurely moving house?"
An Ying smiled and said, "How am I leisurely? I was clearly panting as I moved."
An Ying swiped a glass of water, sat down, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
"The suspension and investigation was expected long ago; the chairman's original intention was to get rid of me."
"Now I can't get rid of him, and we can be colleagues a little longer."
An Ying said it in a half-joking tone.
Xie Li was speechless: "You're really thick-skinned."
Xie Li thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate to say some things over the phone.
"An Ying, are you free tonight? I have something I want to talk to you about. Let's meet at the bar tonight?"
An Ying nodded: "Okay, see you at the bar tonight."
After hanging up the phone, An Ying looked up.
His eyes met those of Fu Chengli, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone.
He looked at her with a quiet gaze.
"Where did these shady friends come from, inviting you to the bar again?"
An Ying rolled her eyes at him: "Young Master, could you help me out if you have time?"
An Ying pointed to the box on the ground.
Fu Chengli pouted: "Tell me who you're going to the bar with and I'll help you move."
An Ying's inner thoughts: Ha! You actually dare to negotiate with me?!
She raised an eyebrow and said, "If you help me move, I'll tell you who I'm with, whether it's a man or a woman. If you do a good job, I might even let you come with me."
Fu Chengli hesitated: "Really?"
An Ying: "Really."
Fu Chengli threw his phone onto the sofa and immediately stood up.
An Ying sighed inwardly.
The eldest son of the prestigious Fu family, a bigwig in the Beicheng business district, is surprisingly easy to coax.
This luxury mansion is located downstairs from Fu Chengli's house.
The neighborhood has top-notch security and environment.
The community is equipped with a gym, reading room, private club, and more.
Even takeout is delivered directly to the door by the housekeeper.
That night, Fu Chengli gave An Ying the key and access card, which she accepted with a mix of trepidation and excitement.
After I got back, I specifically searched for information about this house online.
Fu Chengli's penthouse duplex is the king of the building, while the one she lives in is a regular apartment.
The selling price is 200,000 per square meter, and if you rent it out, you can earn at least 60,000 to 70,000 per month, and you have to be quick to buy it.
The living room is so big you could run around in it, and if you yell in the bedroom, the sound echoes throughout the house.
At that moment, Ye Rao stared at the house's outrageous price and said bluntly, "Why don't I have such a good brother who can send me to live in a luxury apartment?"
An Ying glanced at her best friend and said, "The brother in your dream wouldn't have any improper thoughts about you."
Ye Rao said in a daze, "This house is something that ordinary people can't afford in a lifetime, no, even several lifetimes. If I had an older brother who could give me a house and let me move in here, I would be willing to try with him and break the taboo of love."
Ye Rao closed her eyes briefly: "For the sake of this house, I will fight to the death with anyone who dares to obstruct our earth-shattering love."
An Ying was speechless: "A love story that shakes the heavens and the earth? You should deal with Li Xiuzhe first. He cried a lot for you, which was truly earth-shattering."
Ye Rao asked in surprise, "Crying?"
Ye Rao suddenly realized: This guy is serious!
She suddenly picked up her phone, typed a message, and sent it to Li Xiuzhe.
"Don't fall in love with me, it won't lead anywhere."
An Ying: "........."
After that day, Li Xiuzhe seemed to vanish into thin air.
An Ying seemed to see Li Xiuzhe crying even harder in her mind.
Secretary Chen knocked on the door and came in, looking shocked.
He knew that the president was helping An Ying move today.
I never expected that his CEO would actually do such rough work.
See you soon.
Fu Chengli rolled up his sleeves, and the veins on his arms were faintly visible.
An Ying offered him water and a tissue to wipe his sweat.
Fu Chengli seemed to enjoy An Ying serving him, raising an eyebrow and saying, "It's rare to see you like this. You always kept your distance from me before."
An Ying smiled sweetly and said, "I'm obligated to serve you since I've taken your money."
Upon seeing this scene, Secretary Chen, who was holding a tablet computer, stood there dumbfounded.
I just felt like an unwanted third wheel.
He walked to the corner, adopted a posture of facing the wall in contemplation, and silently recited the work he was about to report...
An Ying saw Secretary Chen arrive.
She consciously distanced herself from Fu Chengli, taking a few steps back.
Fu Chengli was displeased.
She took a few steps back, and he took a few steps forward.
An Ying kicked him: "What are you doing? There are people here."
Fu Chengli, head held straight and eyes unblinking, said, "Nobody's here."
An Ying: "........."
Fu Chengli curled the corners of his lips and pressed his advantage, saying, "Just because I take your money doesn't mean I'll make you serve me?"
