"Got him!"
As soon as class was over, Shen Xiaomi ca over mysteriously and whispered to the three of them.
Chi Youyou’s eyes widened, "So fast?"
"Uncle Feng just ssaged . It’s an employee working at the factory, nad Zhao Gui’an. His ho is in New Zhao Community, 6 kiloters away from the factory. That area used to be called Zhao Family Village."
So small villages in the suburbs of Imperial City have all been planned and developed, and re-divided now.
After her livestream ended yesterday, Chi Youyou felt sowhat uneasy, not knowing if the big fish would take the bait.
She didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!
"Did he say who told him to do it?"
"No."
Shen Xiaomi shook her head but shared her thoughts with Chi Youyou.
"Do you suspect soone instigated your aunt and uncle?"
"Yes!"
"It’s not impossible."
Chi Youyou nodded, "There are two possibilities why the Shen Group would beco a thorn in soone’s side. One is that your developnt is hindering them, and the other is your developnt could benefit ."
There have been too many things happening recently, and there’s also the Song Family’s strear competition coming up.
To say that the Shen Group’s matter has nothing to do with her at all is impossible.
With so many businesses under the Shen Group, why was it just her production line that had issues?
Hehe, such a coincidence.
"Yes, I was discussing this with Xingxing last night. Those TV dramas are usually like this, relationships of interest! Family hatred!"
Zhao Qingran nodded in agreent.
Lin Xing was a bit confused, "But what your aunt did doesn’t help them at all. The Shen Group is a whole. If one production line has problems, the others will be affected!"
"Oh, our Xingxing is still so smart!"
Shen Xiaomi praised, "To be honest, my uncle and aunt have a lot of sches, but they can’t really do anything bad because they don’t have the brains for this kind of thing."
"Do you say this about your uncle and aunt, do they know?"
Chi Youyou suddenly felt like laughing. Her aunt probably thought she pulled off sothing big this ti!
But in others’ eyes, it’s extrely foolish.
"But it’s still quite troubleso now because that guy refuses to say anything. Looking at his deanor, he intends to take the bla for this affair."
"What’s his family’s situation?"
"Let ask."
Shen Xiaomi quickly called Uncle Feng, learned about the situation, and hung up with a sowhat grave expression.
"Is his family not doing well?"
Chi Youyou whispered seeing her expression.
"Mm, the whole family basically relies on him. His elderly mother’s eyesight is failing due to illness, and her surgery requires a large sum of money. His wife just gave birth to twins, and there’s a sister who seems to have so cognitive issues..."
Chi Youyou: ...
The situation is dire!
No wonder he chose to do this.
"Youyou, how did you know that his family’s conditions aren’t good?"
"Rember what Uncle Feng said? Didn’t your uncle modify the employees’ benefits? I specifically looked at it, there’s this one provision: those who have worked at Shen Group for more than a year can loan 100,000, repayable in three years. Those who’ve been there for more than two years can loan 200,000... and it increases accordingly, with almost no interest. This money is only for dical and housing purposes."
"I think there was such a provision! When I saw it, I thought my uncle finally did sothing right."
"If I’m not mistaken, Zhao Gui’an probably went through the process of applying. Your uncle might secretly subsidize him a bit too, as his mother’s illness can’t wait."
Just as Chi Youyou finished her analysis, Shen Xiaomi showed them her phone, "Youyou, you’re too clever! Zhao Xingui applied for 200,000, and it’s been approved."
"What do we do now? This man seems to be a devoted son."
"Hmm... the one who tied the bell should untie it. Let’s go visit the Zhao Family."
Chi Youyou glanced at the ti and planned to visit the Zhao Family after the next class.
She also sent a ssage to Su Mo, asking her to tell Chi Zaozao to go ho with Uncle Wang today.
[Su Mo: How’s the Shen family situation going?]
[Chi Youyou: We have so clues, and plan to visit and inquire directly soon.]
[Su Mo: Alright, I’m investigating on my side. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.]
[Chi Youyou: Thanks, senior sister~]
[Su Mo: Thank the old man instead.]
Looking at the dialog on her phone screen, Chi Youyou’s lips curled up slightly.
Being part of an organization feels really good!
It’s kind of wonderful; although the senior sister appears indifferent, she’s very warm-hearted and especially kind to her!
The director seems unreliable, but he’s very useful at critical monts!
It’s a bit like their Phoenix Mountain; though the villagers joke around with her, she knows they certainly all like her~
Almost two months have flown by!
Once this strear competition is over, she must carve out so ti to go back; she doesn’t even know if dad and mom are back from abroad.
M Country.
In a large room, Mrs. Chi leaned against Mr. Chi, her eyes slightly red.
On the bed in front of them lay a man covered with various tubes. His hair was gray and white, his cheeks sunken, not matching a single face in the family portrait on the bedside table.
"We will definitely find a way!"
Mr. Chi tightly embraced her shoulders, giving her strength.
"If there was truly a way, my dad would’ve arranged it long ago～"
Suddenly a voice rose from behind them, and a tall young man, sowhat resembling Mrs. Chi, stood there, looking at the two with disdain.
"Are you my aunt?"
"Xiao Jin, don’t be rude!"
At that mont, a poised, elegant woman walked in from the doorway, "Xiao Sheng! Shihuai told you ca, and I didn’t believe it! We haven’t seen each other in decades..."
Mrs. Chi hoarsely spoke, "Sister-in-law..."
"Xiao Jin was on a business trip in Y Country a few days ago. I went to visit and heard you ca. As soon as Xiao Jin finished work, we ca back quickly!"
"Sorry for any inconvenience."
"What’s with the polite words, we’re family. You’re as beautiful as ever. Co on, let’s go talk in the living room, so we don’t disturb the old gentleman’s rest."
Mrs. Chi nodded, followed them out, and held Mr. Chi’s hand, signaling him to relax.
Her sister-in-law didn’t even acknowledge him when she ca in, treating him as if he were invisible.
Mrs. Chi knew what kind of person her sister-in-law was; all those graceful gestures, and calling her Xiao Sheng in a friendly manner, were just for show.
Her main reason for coming back was to see her father and she wouldn’t stay too long, leaving Chi Youyou and Chi Zaozao in the country made them uneasy as well.
Just going through the motions would suffice.
