“No matter how uncultured we are, we can’t compare to an old demon like you. Back then, when you abandoned your husband and son, were all of your upbringings eaten by dogs?” Finally, Su Yan stood up and rebutted Zhong Cuiping fiercely.
Back then, Zhong Cuiping despised the Wei Family for being poor and their inability to give her a good life. She chose to divorce immediately after giving birth to Wei Zhou. This matter caused a huge uproar, and many people of the older generation knew about it. This had also become the sore spot in Zhong Cuiping’s life that people criticized the most.
Zhong Cuiping was so angry that she was seeing stars. Thankfully, she usually took good care of herself, or else she would have fainted by now. She had thought that time could wash away everything since so many years had passed. No one remembered her dark history anymore. But now that Su Yan mentioned it in front of her, she felt extremely humiliated.
Su Yan did not move, but it was as if she had given a tight slap on Zhong Cuiping’s old face. At this point, Zhong Cuiping did not care about being dignified and elegant anymore, she picked up the decorations placed on the side and hurled them at Su Yan.!!
“Su Yan, you shameless gold-digger, shut up!” Zhong Cuiping shouted angrily.
“Aiya, old demon, assaulting us because you couldn’t outtalk us, you’re truly taking advantage of your seniority. Did you think we won’t dare to fight back?” Tang Yitong said disdainfully as she pulled Su Yan aside.
Su Yan gave Tang Yitong a look, signaling her not to take any action. Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
At the same time, Wei Zhou and the other group executives were in a meeting in the meeting room of Excellent Era Corporation. The secretary, Li Rong, was taking notes of the meeting when her phone on the table suddenly rang.
The sudden ringtone made the originally serious and tense atmosphere pause. Everyone looked at Li Rong. According to the group’s meeting rules, everyone’s phone had to be turned off or be in silent mode during the meeting. Otherwise, they would be punished accordingly, Li Rong was also shocked. She had been too busy today and forgot to turn it on silent. Li Rong smiled apologetically at everyone and picked up her phone and glanced at it. She frowned.
Li Rong glanced at Wei Zhou and found that he was staring at her expressionlessly. She quickly took her phone and ran out of the meeting room. She adjusted her breathing slightly and picked up the phone.
“Hello? Miss Su, did you dial the wrong number?” Li Rong said, holding back her anger. If Su Yan had dialed the wrong number, she would humiliate her. Her performance pay for this month was gone, and it was all Su Yan’s fault.
On the other end of the phone, Su Yan’s cold voice came through. “I am Su Yan. Tell your President Wei that no matter how busy he is now, come immediately to the high-end tailor shop Pretty Girl located on the pedestrian street of the development zone. Not only did the old demon from his family and cinnabar mole deliberately find trouble with me, but they had also even assaulted me. Warn Wei Zhou that if he did not come, or if he arrives too late, he would bear the consequences!”
Su Yan promptly hung up the phone after leaving these words. Li Rong was dumbfounded. The anger in her stomach had disappeared, and she quickly turned around and ran into the meeting room.
“President Wei, something bad has happened!” Li Rong said anxiously. She quickly closed her mouth in regret, wishing she could slap herself a few times. When would she be able to get rid of her habit of panicking when things happened!
Wei Zhou looked at her coldly, sending icy daggers her way. Wei Zhou had just started speaking when he was interrupted by Li Rong. She was Wei Zhou’s secretary. How could it not be a form of embarrassment for Wei Zhou when she was so unruly in her behavior.
“After work, go to the finance department yourself and deduct half of your monthly salary,” Wei Zhou said coldly.
Li Rong nodded with a bitter smile. She had just promised Wei Zhou a few days ago that she would not panic in the future and would voluntarily deduct half a month’s salary if she were to make such a mistake again.
“Speak, what is it?” Wei Zhou looked at the tablet in his hand without raising his head or even looking at her.
Li Rong was in a difficult position. Should she be telling Wei Zhou about family matters in front of so many people?
Gritting her teeth, Li Rong said, “President Wei, it was Miss Su Yan who called me just now. She said…”
“What did she say?” Wei Zhou asked. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. He thought that Su Yan finally could no longer keep up her act. For her to call Li Rong at this timing, she either wanted to reconcile with him and compromise with him again, or she did not intend to pretend anymore and wanted to ask him for money.
No matter which one it was, Wei Zhou would not agree. Because she had chosen the path. She had to continue on it even if she must do it on her knees. Moreover, a woman like this was not worthy of sympathy.
“She said that you should immediately rush to the high-end tailor store, Pretty Girl, on the pedestrian street of the development zone. She said that if you don’t go or if you are late, you will bear the consequences!” Li Rong delivered Su Yan’s words in parts.
“Who does she think she is? Expecting me to go just because she had said so? And she even dared to threaten me?” Wei Zhou reprimanded coldly, still staring at the various data on the tablet.
Li Rong was speechless. She knew that Wei Zhou did not know what was going on, so she continued, “It seems that Mrs. Wei and Miss Guan are also there.. Moreover, they seem to have a conflict with Miss Su. Do you want to go down personally?”
