"Yes!"
Tian Jing decisively took out her internal network phone and called Zeng Jingrong, asking him to destroy all evidence of Xiao Shan Niang and Xiao Jiang Niang at Jin Rose.
Back then, in order to help the waitresses at Jin Rose return to normal lives, their files were categorized as special skills, as such files were confidential.
So many years had passed, and the files at Jin Rose could be easily altered. No one would bother to retrieve files from the special skills team for two ordinary individuals like Xiao Jiang Niang and Xiao Shan Niang, nor would they extensively investigate all the waitresses at Jin Rose. Moreover, the waitresses who had returned to their peaceful lives would certainly not cooperate.
Zeng Jingrong was already inclined to grant Tian Jing's every request. For this minor matter, Tian Jing also had the authority. Without even hanging up the phone, he made some modifications on his wife's computer and then informed Tian Jing that the total number of waitresses at Jin Rose had decreased by two: wa p.kanshu wu.net
"Tiantian, I'd rather you abuse your authority for personal gain to help unrelated people than live like a zombie as you did a few years ago."
"Nonsense!"
Tian Jing denied it. "I was returning to a simpler life."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Zeng Jingrong didn't expose her. "If you need anything, just call me. No matter how big the problem, I can solve it for you."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Jing said to Ouyang Meihua, "Go to the Niu family's house and tell Sister-in-law Niu to inform Xiao Shan Niang and Xiao Jiang Niang to sue Er Niu's new wife and her family for insult and defamation."
"Claim as much compensation as possible, after all, they intended to ruin Xiao Jiang and Xiao Shan."
"They intended to ruin two adults and four children. No amount of money can compensate for the emotional harm to the children."
"Tell them to hire a lawyer, and make the matter as big as possible."
"Okay!"
Ouyang Meihua stood up excitedly. Her sister-in-law had not only recovered physically but also regained her spirited nature.
Ouyang Meihua returned as quickly as she had left, as she also had something to tell her sister-in-law.
Sun Baoyun and Li Weiyu had been in a relationship for over two years, and their relationship was relatively harmonious. They planned to get married.
Ouyang Meihua and Li Liguo went to the Sun family to propose. All members of the Sun family were present.
Perhaps it was because they didn't see Tian Jing and other members of the Li family, but the Sun family's attitude was somewhat distant.
Sun Baoyun's several cousins made sarcastic remarks and revealed two pieces of information.
The first was that the note on Sun Baoyun's QQ account was sent to Li Wanzhen by one of her cousins in her name, and it was implied that if Li Weiyu didn't accept, she could be given to another man in the Li family.
The reason for this was that Sun Baoyun had been chosen to be Li Wanzhen's bridesmaid.
The second matter was about Sun Baoyun and Li Weiyu having a relationship.
Once Sun Baoyun started working at Jingyuan Company, the Sun family no longer planned to use her for an arranged marriage. Her cousins resented her even more.
They heard that Jingyuan Company was holding its year-end meeting. They secretly put half a sleeping pill in Sun Baoyun's drink. The combination of sleeping pills and alcohol would enhance the effect of the sleeping pills. They wanted Sun Baoyun to fall asleep on the spot and be embarrassed. Who knew that by chance, she ended up sleeping with Li Weiyu, which led to their relationship.
Sun Baoyun's cousins revealed the sleeping pill incident in an attempt to take credit. They believed they were the matchmakers for Sun Baoyun and Li Weiyu, and they even demanded that Li Weiyu properly thank them with matchmaker red envelopes.
"...I was almost driven mad at the time. If I hadn't seen Xiao Yu holding the crying Sun Baoyun and comforting her, I would have refused this marriage."
"Not only did the Sun family not scold Sun Baoyun's cousins, but they also smilingly chimed in, urging Xiao Yu to give each of those cousins a matchmaker red envelope."
"What will happen to the children born to such people who have no sense of right and wrong?"
"If matchmaker red envelopes were actually given, it would be tantamount to condoning their future immoral behavior."
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow, surprised that Sun Xuelan was clear-headed in the face of adversity, but her family members were not so impressive. "How much dowry did you give?"
"The same as Wanzhen."
Ouyang Meihua was filled with anger again. "I originally didn't plan to give the same amount, but the Sun family brought up Auntie San of the Li family."
Tian Jing asked, "What did Sun Xuelan say?"
Ouyang Meihua was even more displeased. "She sat aside and didn't say a word. She heard everything but said nothing."
"If it weren't for Xiao Yu's feelings for Sun Baoyun, I really wouldn't agree to this marriage. The wedding is soon, and I'm still feeling uneasy about it."
"What was the wedding process like?"
"The same as Wanzhen's. We held a banquet over there and another reception back here."
"Alright!"
Tian Jing nodded. "Our Li family will all attend this time. We will openly show our displeasure with this marriage. Let's see how they can take advantage then."
"Yes, yes!"
Ouyang Meihua nodded vigorously. She was indeed unhappy, and it would be great not to have to pretend to deal with people she disliked.
...
On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Li family arrived at the top floor of Jingyuan Company.
The Mai family did not come. Since the beginning of winter, Doctor Yang had been feeling unwell, and she needed to stay home to take care of her.
Xiao Mai and Zhou Chengbing did not come to work, but their children, Zhou Yulin and Zhou Yufei, accompanied them. kanδん
Adding Li Wanzhen and her son, the Chen Fu family of six, and Xuanxuan, Siji, and Sirui, there were a total of twenty people.
Based on headcount, two seven-seater cars were overloaded. Based on age and weight, the children sat on the adults' laps, and they managed to get by.
Li Weili hugged her mother, tears streaming down her face. "Mom, have you really recovered? That's great."
Her younger brother had told her that her mother had completely recovered, but she couldn't believe it until she saw it with her own eyes.
Tian Jing patted her daughter's back. "Alright, alright. If your employees see CEO Li crying like a child, your authority will be completely gone."
Li Weili pulled away from her mother's embrace, wiped away her tears, and smiled. "They can't come up here anyway."
Li Zhengguo handed his daughter a tissue. "How do you plan to build the Houchai Hutong?"
Li Weili took the tissue from her father. "We'll build office buildings for rent. We won't sell that area."
Li Zhengguo agreed. "If you hold onto that area, you'll never lose money."
"Dad, Mom."
Li Weili hesitated. "Brother Lu wants to participate. He owns twenty percent of Shengsong Group's shares, and he wants to sell them to invest in Jingyuan."
Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing exchanged a look and tacitly shook their heads, refusing.
"The shares of Jingyuan, apart from Ouyang Lei's, all belong to our family. If new capital is introduced and shares are diluted, our family's shareholding will decrease. With fewer shares, our voice will not be enough."
"The twenty percent shares of the Song family are intended to win over Lu Shi; they will not allow him to sell them."
"The Song family also wants to form a marriage alliance with our family. Their purpose is definitely not as simple as liking Xuanxuan."
"Business is like a battlefield. Once you give others an opportunity, you will be gradually eroded without realizing it."
"It's not that we don't trust Lu Shi; it's that we don't trust the Song family. After all, he is a shareholder of Shengsong Group, and a careless mistake could lead to a trap. Lili, does Jingyuan lack money?"
Li Weili immediately shook her head. "Jingyuan is fully capable of building two office buildings."
Li Zhengguo pressed. "Then why are you hesitating? Your hesitation represents your personal feelings. If you can't handle it or are unwilling, then step down, and we can hire professional managers."
Li Weili froze, then shook her head. "I was wrong, I won't step down."
Li Zhengguo said sternly, "If there's a next time, there will be no room for negotiation."
Li Weili nodded repeatedly.
Tian Jing saw the tense atmosphere and called Xuanxuan to ease it. "Xuanxuan, we'll give your mom back to you."
Li Sixuan finally approached her mother. "Mom, have you cried enough?"
Li Weili helplessly flicked her daughter's forehead. "Mom is just emotional."
"Yes!"
Li Sixuan nodded her head. "I know you're crying tears of joy. We're all happy that Grandma has recovered. Mom, are you going home for the New Year?"
"Yes!"
Li Weili glanced at her daughter. When did she not go home for the New Year? Her own daughter was just making small talk, not feeling awkward at all.
"Hehe."
Li Sixuan giggled and ran off again. She had a generation gap with her mother.
