Zhou Yaru forcefully pushed open the door of Pei Mingyuan's office. Fuming with anger, she stormed up to Pei Mingyuan and slapped the table.
"Mr. Pei, what do you mean by this? What did Yuan Xi do wrong that you have to fire her! Is it just because she was once involved with the Yan family and offended that investor, Mr. Yan?"
Pei Mingyuan looked at Zhou Yaru calmly and said, "This has nothing to do with you. If you still want to stay in the company, shut your mouth and get out of my office."
"If the Pei Corporation is determined to fire Yuan Xi, then fire me as well! My proposal won the second prize. The Pei Corporation should also pay me the copyright buy - out fee!" Zhou Yaru shouted angrily.
Didn't Pei Mingyuan know that his decision was kicking Xu Zixi when she was down?
But what could he do? Who could take responsibility for his distress and struggle? If he didn't fire her, he couldn't continue to be the president of the Pei Group. This was a difficult decision he had made after struggling for several days.
He knew that this would be another kind of harm to her. He had also decided that later he would find an opportunity to apologize to her sincerely and help her find another job.
With a cold face, Pei Mingyuan said to Zhou Yaru, "If this is what you want, I will fulfill your wish."
Zhou Yaru glared at him fiercely. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the door of Pei Mingyuan's office was suddenly pushed open. She slightly widened her eyes and stared blankly at the man walking in with a blind stick.
Wasn't this... Mr. Yan she had seen at the awards ceremony?
Speak of the devil. Her anger flared up again. Anyway, she was going to leave. Why should she care about the Pei or Yan Corporation!
Rushing in front of Yan Yincheng, Zhou Yaru questioned:
"Mr. Yan, don't you think you're going too far! Even if Yuan Xi once cuckolded your nephew, that's all in the past. It's too much for your Yan family to use this as a reason to bully her and force her to leave the Pei Corporation!"
Pei Mingyuan didn't expect Yan Yincheng to come suddenly. He stood up from his chair in a hurry.
When Yan Yincheng didn't speak, his face was cold, as if he didn't belong to this mortal world. After hearing Zhou Yaru's words, his expression became even colder. Facing the direction where Pei Mingyuan was, he opened his lips and said coldly:
"Kick someone down the ladder? Pei Mingyuan, is this how you act as her boyfriend? Is this how you protect her?"
Zhou Yaru: "???" What kind of gossip was she hearing? Was Mr. Pei Yuan Xi's boyfriend? Didn't Yuan Xi already have a fiancé?
Pei Mingyuan also got angry and directly retorted to Yan Yincheng: "On the contrary, Mr. Yan. I'm letting her leave the Pei Corporation for her own good. I don't want her to see you, this despicable and shameless scumbag, anymore. I don't want to see you pestering my girlfriend either!"
Zhou Yaru: "???" Firing Yuan Xi was not Mr. Yan's intention, but Mr. Pei's? And what kind of gossip was this? Was Mr. Yan pestering Yuan Xi? Wasn't he Yan Zhen's uncle?
For a moment, Pei Mingyuan's office was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Yan Yincheng raised his blind stick and heavily tapped it on Pei Mingyuan's table, just knocking down the work sign on the table that read "President of the Pei Group".
He said, "All of you in the Pei family, from the old to the young, are selfish idiots. Your younger sister, Pei Weiwei, more than a month ago, at the shopping mall, wantonly insulted her and her child, calling them 'little bastards' without any upbringing. You haven't forgotten this, have you, Pei Mingyuan?"
Pei Mingyuan's face turned pale. Thinking of his younger sister's past actions, he really had no way to refute.
"Later, your younger sister, Pei Weiwei, after Yuan Xi joined the Pei Corporation, because of the feud at the shopping mall, exposed her past in Fengcheng within the Pei Corporation, causing her to be ignored and laughed at by everyone. You haven't forgotten this either, have you, Pei Mingyuan?"
Pei Mingyuan suddenly clenched his fists, and a look of self - blame appeared on his face.
Yan Yincheng's voice seemed to turn even colder: "She didn't hold grudges against the harm your Pei family did to her and even issued a challenge to Pei Weiwei, wanting to win back her reputation. It shows her magnanimity. But I do hold grudges."
Feeling as if she had someone backing her up, Zhou Yaru straightened her back. She couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yan, Miss Pei even tried to destroy Yuan Xi's CD to prevent her from participating in the competition! Fortunately, Yuan Xi was vigilant and took precautions in advance, or she wouldn't have been able to win the first prize at all!"
"Really? It seems that your Pei family owes her again." Yan Yincheng sneered, "Pei Mingyuan, it's said that things should not be repeated for the third time. Now, you still want to kick her out of the Pei Corporation after she won the first prize. May I ask -"
"Did you get my permission?"
When making this difficult decision, Pei Mingyuan felt guilty. But after hearing this, he raised his head, and the anger in his eyes was so intense that it seemed to take on a physical form.
"Mr. Yan, you're just the investor of the Bay Project. You don't have the right to interfere in the personnel transfer within the Pei Corporation, do you? This is the Pei Corporation, not the Yan Corporation!"
"The Pei Corporation?" Yan Yincheng said, "It won't be for long."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. When passing by Zhou Yaru, he stopped and said:
"Yuan Xi doesn't need to leave, and neither do you. Help her complete 'City of Hope' well."
Zhou Yaru opened her eyes wide and replied blankly, "Oh... okay."
Although Yan Yincheng had left, the smell of gunpowder in the air still hadn't dissipated. Zhou Yaru glanced at Pei Mingyuan, whose face was extremely ugly, bowed in a hurry, and then trotted out of Pei Mingyuan's office.
Finally, Dai Sha, who had been waiting for Zhou Yaru, pulled her into the emergency exit again.
"What did Mr. Pei say? Is he really going to fire Yuan Xi?!" she asked impatiently.
Finally coming to her senses, Zhou Yaru held Dai Sha's hand tightly and said firmly, "Yuan Xi won't be fired! Moreover, it seems that there's going to be a big change in our Pei Corporation..."
As if to verify Zhou Yaru's words, the next day, the Pei Corporation held an emergency shareholders' meeting. With thunderous means, Yan Yincheng bought the shares of other shareholders. His shares in the Pei Corporation reached as high as 67%, and he suddenly became the largest shareholder of the Pei Group, having absolute control over the Pei Corporation.
In the meeting room, Yan Yincheng, who had absolute controlling shares, sat in the first seat. On the left were the shareholders who supported him, and on the right were Pei Jun and Pei Mingyuan, the father - and - son of the Pei family, who were trembling with fear.
"Mr. Yan, do we need to replace the directors?" one of the shareholders asked.
After hearing this, Pei Jun forced a smile and said, "A Cheng, I was once an alumnus of your father. Why do you have to do this? Although the Pei Corporation doesn't have as rich a heritage as the Yan Corporation, it has had a foundation in Haicheng for decades. You're being a bit too heartless, aren't you?"
"Uncle Pei is talking to me about kindness?"
Yan Yincheng twirled a pen between his fingers. The diamond ring on his middle finger shone with a cold light under the lamp:
"Why didn't you talk about kindness when you touched the person I care about?"
