I don’t exactly know why, but every time I see Gu Yuanzhou, my heart can never be calm.
After he left, I supported myself on the desk with both hands, my thoughts scattered and muddled.
I brewed a cup of coffee.
Forcing myself to calm down.
After walking in circles in the office, I remembered what Gu Yuanzhou had said and immediately called Ding Yinuo.
He didn’t even let me speak and said very sternly,
“I’ll call you later. I’m very busy now.”
With just these few words, he hung up.
Typically, even if he was busy, he would at least ask me about the company when I call him.
Clearly, his hands must be full right now.
So, I called Wenya and asked her to find out what was happening with Su Peisheng.
Wenya did not disappoint me.
She gave me an answer within ten minutes.
“You asked at the right time, Su Peisheng is currently at the Ding Family handling the matter.”
“What is really going on?”
“Previously, Ding’s father used to be the Vice-Chancellor of South University. Now, he’s been reported for embezzling public funds. The amount is quite large. According to Su Peisheng, it could be enough for a sentence of over ten years. As you know, Ding’s father is already in his sixties, and his health isn’t good. He also has a heart condition. If he ends up in jail, it could be the death of him.”
I could hear the worry in Wenya’s voice. After hearing these words, I felt disheartened,
“I don’t view Ding’s father as that type of person. Did he really do such a thing?”
“According to Su Peisheng’s understanding of the incident, there was a project at the time that was about to be cut off but was continuously stalled by the higher-up. Thus, a third party wanted to expedite the process and thought of bribing the official. They gave some money to the official. They didn’t have any connection with this official and asked Ding’s father to deliver it. Indeed, he involved himself in this matter, but he thought it was just a box of fruit or cigarettes. He didn’t know it was a large sum of money. Anyway, he participated unknowingly, and the money ended up in the official’s hands ”
“That can surely be worked out. Expose the official and it will be fine.”
“The problem now is that the official left for overseas last year and has been out of sight. And the third party wants to find a scapegoat, so they accused Ding’s father.”
“Isn’t there any way to solve this problem?”
“According to Su Peisheng, the difficulty in this case is that Ding’s father did indeed participate. It’s incontrovertible! Moreover, the third party was very cunning. At the time, they not only recorded it, but they also filmed it. It’s a case with solid evidence.”
“But, Ding’s father has retired and is no longer in his position.”
Wenya sighed,
“We have lifelong accountability! It’s not like you are off the hook as soon as you retire. Ayun, don’t be too worried, the Ding family is handling it.”
What Wenya said just served to comfort me.
I have seen cases like this before.
The implicated party not only has to cough up the embezzled money but also serves time in jail.
The crucial point now is that the money was taken by the officials. So, Ding’s father has to pay the price
This is a lose-lose situation.
Wenya kept sighing,
“Ding Family has really been hit with bad luck recently! What’s going on, why do they keep having problems, this matter has been over so many years, it’s ancient history!”
Lightbulb moment. I suddenly remembered what Gu Yuanzhou said before he left and the calm look in his eyes.
“It’s Gu Yuanzhou’s doing!”
“What?”
“Gu Yuanzhou must be taking revenge on the Ding Family!”
“Damn! This asshole is really trying to destroy the Ding Family?”
“I’ll go find him!”
“Ayun, maybe you should discuss this with Ding Yinuo before finding Gu Yuanzhou, it might not be a good idea to go to him like this!”
“Don’t tell Ding Yinuo, I’ll handle it! He’s tied up right now, I can’t let him worry about this any more.”
“Sigh, okay, you just be careful.”
After hanging up the phone, I’ve lost my mood to work.
Noon, I called Xu Yun, invited her to have lunch together.
Right now, she was the only employee that I know who hadn’t been fired by Zhenyi Company.
“Hey, Sister Song, I’m afraid I can’t continue to work too!”
After having lunch, Xu Yun sighed.
“What happened?”
“President Gu has changed!”
“Explain in detail!”
“His temper has been awful recently, and he fires people left and right. In the past month, the company has fired more than ten employees. Anyone who talked back to him or performed poorly got fired.”
“What do your colleagues think is the reason?”
“I heard some gossip; it seems to be because of Ye Mengyan. Supposedly, she was arrested! But this is just a rumor among the employees, it may not be accurate.”
“Oh! I see!”
So, the crux of the matter was still Ye Mengyan. To save that woman, Gu Yuanzhou is going crazy.
What can I do to save the Ding Family?
In the afternoon, I went with Wenya, and bought some gifts to visit Ding’s father at the hospital.
At the entrance of the ward, we saw a police officer, Su Peisheng was negotiating with the officer.
We hope the police can be lenient and let Ding’s father focus on his recovery in the hospital, without any interruptions.
The officer refused, “Mr. Ding is currently under our supervision, in strict terms, everyone, including those who come to visit him, will be monitored by us. Everyone will be subject to scrutiny. Therefore, the police advise you not to stay for too long.”
To my surprise, Su Peisheng pleaded for quite a while, but Wenya and I were denied visiting rights because we were not direct relatives of the patient.
At that moment, Ding Yinuo was communicating with the attending doctor.
The doctors were his colleagues, and the two of them discussed the surgical treatment plan for over an hour.
Half an hour later, Ding Xiao also arrived.
“As for public opinion, I’m trying to control it! I don’t know how long I can manage it, however. If the mainstream media insists on reporting this, it would be detrimental for Tianjiao Company’s stock price.”
Compared to his brother, Ding Yinuo was much calmer and composed under the circumstances.
I knew I couldn’t do anything to help at that moment, so I just stood at a distance.
Wenya’s gaze was fixed on Su Peisheng.
When Su Peisheng finished communicating, she walked up to him.
“How about this, we kidnap Gu Yuanzhou! Make him withdraw the lawsuit!”
“It’s too late for that now, it has already become a public prosecution case! It’s impossible to withdraw it now! The Ding Family is doomed.”
“Damn, why isn’t Gu Yuanzhou dead yet!”
Wenya cursed
Over there, having finally handled all the matters, Ding Yinuo became aware of my presence. He turned around and walked towards me.
His face was pale, and his eyes filled with weariness.
However, the moment he saw me, he gave a light smile, and his eyes turned gentle.
“Ayun, how come you are here?”
