Chapter 89 Mother
Rong Shu told Xue Mingjie to call Yao Weiyuan and tell him, "If I don't see him in twenty minutes, he should write his resignation letter immediately."
After agreeing, Xue Mingjie called Yao Weiyuan.
Twenty minutes later.
Yao Weiyuan, Huang Ling, and Pan Sheng appeared in the office one after another.
Yao Weiyuan is thirty-nine years old this year. He is thin and wears glasses. He looks slender and refined, but his overly narrow eyes make him look shrewd.
Upon seeing Rong Shu, Yao Weiyuan quickly apologized, "President Rong, I'm so sorry. Team Leader Huang and I had an appointment with people from Pukang today, and we couldn't tell you beforehand. I'll tell you the details of the meeting later."
Rong Shu smiled but didn't answer. "Is that so? It seems I misunderstood President Yao. I'll have to listen carefully to President Yao's report later."
Yao Weiyuan quickly replied, "Of course, of course."
"Then please have a seat."
Yao Weiyuan sat on the stool, his eyes lowered, revealing a sinister look in them.
The meeting began.
The discussion lasted for nearly two hours and went relatively smoothly. During the discussion, Rong Shu expressed her appreciation for many of Yao Weiyuan's ideas. She agreed with whatever he said, showing that she trusted him quite a bit.
After the meeting.
They then left one after another.
We left the conference room.
Yao Weiyuan scoffed, "What great things can a woman accomplish?"
Huang Ling said, "President Yao still can't be too careless. Evelynn is quite capable. She single-handedly resolved the business crisis in the United States before."
Yao Weiyuan said, "President Jiang was in the United States during that time. Who knows whether it was Evelynn or President Jiang who solved it? President Jiang is a man who doesn't get close to women, but now I think he has fallen for her."
His words still betrayed his disdain.
Even if Evelynn is very capable, she is not qualified for the position of investment director.
Huang Ling listened to Yao Weiyuan's words and didn't say anything more.
The next two days of the weekend.
Rong Shu was not idle either.
Aside from working overtime, I mostly attend dinner parties, including a meeting with Mr. Zheng from Pukang.
Two years ago, Pukang underwent an asset restructuring. She wrote the restructuring plan and the financing proposal, and provided sufficient reference opinions.
It was precisely because of this adjustment that Pukang made greater progress and breakthroughs in research and development, and attracted the attention of more companies with greater capital strength.
After this dinner...
Rong Shu and President Zheng had a very pleasant chat.
"I really look forward to working with you, Evelynn, in the future."
Rong Shu shook hands with President Zheng, and said with a polite smile, "I'm also very much looking forward to it."
After the dinner.
Rong Shu left by car.
Xue Mingjie drove and reported to his supervisor: "Today, Deputy Director Yao and General Manager Yang from Yunshan met at Donghu to play golf."
Rong Shu looked out the car window, a cold smile playing on her lips. "He had better be able to coax Yang Dong back."
"..."
Rong Shu did not return to the hotel, but went to the hospital instead.
Inside the hospital ward, some people were keeping watch. A man lay on the bed with an injured calf. When he looked at Rong Shu, he met her cold and sharp eyes, then turned his gaze away, not daring to meet her gaze.
Rong Shu asked Xue Mingcheng, "Did Yao Weiyuan call him?"
Xue Mingcheng and Xue Mingjie are twin brothers, only 26 years old this year. Although they are twins, they look completely different. Xue Mingjie wears glasses and has the demeanor of a refined white-collar elite, while Xue Mingcheng is tall and strong, a former soldier with a strong sense of counter-surveillance.
Yao Weiyuan arranged for people to secretly monitor her movements.
When she left the hotel today, someone was following her. Xue Mingcheng drove his car and rammed into the other person, who was injured. Xue Mingcheng took the other person's phone and called 120.
Xue Mingcheng replied, "I made the call, but Yao Weiyuan didn't notice."
"That's good."
"Keep a close eye on him, and call me if anything happens."
"Yes."
Afterwards, Xue Mingjie drove Rong Shu back to her hotel.
On the way back to the hotel.
Rong Shu's phone vibrated.
She picked up her phone and paused for a moment when she saw the caller ID.
Even after five years.
She recognized the man's phone number at a glance.
He paused for a few seconds.
Rong Shu pressed the answer button, put it to her ear, and heard Mei Mei's hoarse voice calling out, her voice full of grievance, "Auntie Evelynn."
The sound clearly indicated that the person had just been crying.
Rong Shu's heart tightened upon hearing this. "Meimei cried?"
Today is Saturday.
Meimei was looking forward to watching Rong Shu's show at eight o'clock, but the host was changed to someone else. Meimei didn't see Rong Shu and immediately became unhappy, crying and making a fuss.
After Sheng Tingchen and Mei Mei calmed down, he took out his phone and called her.
Meimei asked, "Why didn't I see Aunt Evelynn on TV today?"
Rong Shu knew that Mei Mei would watch her on TV every Saturday. Perhaps it was truly a mother's bond with her child; she could feel Mei Mei's affection for her.
She felt both gratified and guilty, guilty that she couldn't reciprocate her feelings as a mother.
Rong Shu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Auntie has other work scheduled today, so someone else will be taking over her duties."
Meimei said "Oh," and then asked, "Did Aunt Evelynn miss me since I didn't call her yesterday?"
Rong Shu smiled gently and said, "Of course I want to."
Upon hearing Rong Shu's answer, Mei Mei's previously aggrieved face instantly brightened up considerably.
The two chatted.
The car stayed there until it stopped at the hotel.
Meimei was reluctant to hang up the phone.
At this time.
Sheng Tingchen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Meimei should take a shower."
Rong Shu coaxed Mei Mei to take a bath.
Meimei said, "Aunt Evelynn just promised to sing for me. When I come back from my shower, will Aunt Evelynn sing for me?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
Meimei then hung up the phone.
She put down her phone, looked at her father, and urged, "Dad, take me to take a bath quickly."
Sheng Tingchen bent down and picked up his daughter.
Liu Lihua had already prepared the bathwater.
Rong Shu returned to her hotel room.
She went to the bathroom to quickly wash up and tidy herself up.
Once back in the room.
The phone vibrated again.
Rong Shu walked to the bedside table, unplugged the charging cable, lifted the blanket, leaned back on the bed, and answered the phone.
"Aunt Evelynn, I'm lying in bed now."
She has returned to her usual cheerful and lively state.
I wonder if Sheng Tingchen is by her side.
Rong Shu didn't ask any questions. She adjusted her mood and gently hummed a lullaby to her. This was the same lullaby that Rong Shu used to hum to Mei Mei before going to bed at night when she was pregnant with her.
Meimei listened quietly, holding her phone.
A few minutes later.
Rong Shu slowly stopped. The other end of the phone was unusually quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing. He gently called out, "Meimei."
All that could be heard was the man's deep, detached voice saying, "She's asleep."
Rong Shu hummed in response, her attitude equally indifferent, and then hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingchen put down his phone, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
Looking at his daughter, who was fast asleep with her hands raised on the bed, he reached out and took her hand, placing it under the covers.
When I pulled the blanket over her.
She heard her daughter murmur in her sleep, "Mommy."
Sheng Tingchen's hand suddenly stopped moving, and his gaze fell on his daughter's obedient and quiet face.
