Zhang Yu knows Zhao Kang is feeling the imbalance, but there’s nothing that can be done about it; this is just how it is when you’re capable, you work more.
Zhao Kang looks at Zhang Yu’s smug expression and directly asks for benefits online.
Zhang Yu is also aware that during this period, Zhao Kang has indeed taken on quite a lot. After thinking about it: After arriving in Harbor City, I’ll treat you to a big al.
When Zhao Kang heard this, that Zhang Yu actually offered to treat him to a big al, he thought for a mont: What’s the budget?
Zhang Yu: Up to fifteen thousand per person.
Zhao Kang took a deep breath and rushed straight to Zhang Yu: Really, you’re really going to treat to such a nice al?
Zhang Yu nodded, "I keep my word."
"Great, I won’t hold back," Zhao Kang said loudly.
"I know." Zhang Yu continued packing her things; the packing was already done, she planned not to co to the company in the next few days and start organizing her room.
She initially planned to pay the rent for the house until the contract ended. After the landlord’s family learned she was headed to Harbor City, they said she could leave anyti and pay rent only up to the day she leaves.
Zhang Yu felt the original tenant really encountered good people. When the original tenant experienced heartbreak in the past, they did try to comfort her, but unfortunately, she never ca out of it.
This ti they also helped the original tenant quite a bit, and Zhang Yu didn’t know how to thank them. That family, spanning three generations, seed just like many old residents of City S. However, they’re actually wealthy, owning properties to rent outside. Sending small gifts might not be appreciated.
Zhang Yu recalled the landlord and his wife’s discussion about their granddaughter going abroad for graduate school. Zhang Yu didn’t have connections in that area, but she could approach Ye Zhuo and Mike. They studied abroad from high school to their master’s degrees and had resources in that regard.
Ask Mike if he has any good suggestions or if he can help recomnd soone. A recomndation from an alumnus is always better than the young girl just submitting a resu.
Ye Zhuo might be more suitable than Mike, but he’s currently out reaching out for business to ensure the investnt company has a successful start.
Zhang Yu organized the docunts in her hand, preparing to deliver them to the archive room.
Upon entering the archive room area, Zhang Yu could clearly feel the loneliness here. To be honest, she never thought soone as flamboyant as Jiang Lili could stay here.
Well, if she weren’t in the archive room but in any departnt outside, she’d be targeted. Everyone knows her credentials aren’t strong, and she’s offended so many people. The Jiang Family has fallen, so she’s a target now, just waiting for her to make a mistake so they can kick her out.
Now that she’s working in the archive room, no one values this position; nobody wants to co here.
Jiang Lili, through surveillance, realized Zhang Yu was coming; she was a bit taken aback. During her few months of working here, Zhang Yu hadn’t co by much, just checking so files and then leaving.
Moreover, it wasn’t her alone but a group of people coming over. Now seeing her co alone, Jiang Lili felt a bit uncomfortable.
Before she could adjust her emotions, Zhang Yu had already entered the archive room, "I’m here to return the files."
Jiang Lili responded with an "Oh" and checked the files, "All returned."
Zhang Yu acknowledged and turned to leave.
Her actions left Jiang Lili stunned for a mont; she originally thought Zhang Yu ca alone to regain so dominance, but it turned out she was really just there to return files.
"Are you leaving?" As Zhang Yu approached the door, Jiang Lili couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Yu noticed that Jiang Lili, when seeing her, had eyes that kept shifting, giving off a sense of uneasiness, and imdiately, her urge to say sothing disappeared.
The currently fallen Jiang Lili, even if humiliated, what good would it do? It wouldn’t bring any sense of achievent; it would be better to let her beco her inner demon. Every ti news related to her pops up in the future, it will remind her of these past events.
Unexpectedly, even as she planned to leave, Zhang Yu was called to a stop, "Yes, you should know."
"Yeah, everyone knows you’re heading to Harbor City to start a business. Missing out on you is Cheng Jian’s biggest failure." Jiang Lili couldn’t help but recall Cheng Jian’s evaluation of Zhang Yu, calling her a bookworm.
Really wondering, Cheng Jian, who knows where he is now, if he understands that the bookworm he used to know, Zhang Yu, has beco so capable, how would he feel? Perhaps he might regret it.
Cheng Jian? A foreign na to her, Zhang Yu smiled politely, "That’s because I saw through your sches and didn’t follow your plan."
"If he had been promoted successfully, and I hadn’t completed Ye Zhuo’s assigned task, have you ever considered what would have happened to ?"
"You wouldn’t think, ’I’m just a small person anyway.’"
"Or maybe you did think, but what you planned was to make leave Ye Zhuo’s team. No matter which team I joined, you’d deal with , leaving unable to find my footing."
"Force out, then sar dirt on my na so I can’t stand in the financial circle."
"I obediently left, didn’t cause any trouble for you, didn’t reveal Cheng Jian’s secret, thus keeping my life safe."
"If I had stuck to my principles and sought an account with Cheng Jian, you’d have arranged soone to make disappear from this world," Zhang Yu turned slowly and said, watching Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili was genuinely shocked; she never expected Zhang Yu to figure out these things, though there were slight discrepancies, but it’s mostly accurate.
Zhang Yu was actually gambling, gambling that this was a plan made only afterward. But seeing Jiang Lili’s surprised expression now, Zhang Yu knew they’d never intended to spare the original tenant from the start.
It all depended on whether the original tenant would escalate things. If they were relentless, then awaiting them was a dead end, like the original tenant.
"Jiang Lili, have you ever thought, you once could manipulate all this, thought you could stand above a small-town person like , and decide my life, my future?"
"Have you never thought there would be a day when you’d face the sa situation, with your fate controlled by others?" Not to ntion now that Jiang Lili is down and out, seeming harmless, Zhang Yu can be certain that should there be an opportunity, she would undoubtedly strike.
Zhang Yu is absolutely not going to let this danger linger around her, leaving her in a precarious situation again.
To ensure soone like Jiang Lili can’t act against her, the best way is to drain her finances and keep her busy elsewhere, so she won’t have ti and energy to deal with her.
Then there’s Cheng Jian. Ever since leaving City S, there’s no trace of him, but Zhang Yu knows he’ll surely be silently inquiring about her situation.
While she’s not a public figure, neither is she a nobody at China Investnt. A little inquiry in the financial world could easily unearth her circumstances.
If Jiang Lili and Cheng Jian were acting independently, things wouldn’t be too bad. The worst situation would be them rekindling their old fla, coming together again, as these two have her as a common enemy.
