Up to You - C209
I don’t have any substantial evidence regarding Director Zhao’s rebate, but I suddenly remembered that when I was waiting for someone at the Finance Department, I accidentally saw our financial relationship with the building materials company. Among them, there was a sum of money that was directly transferred into an account with an unfamiliar name, it wasn’t under the company’s account.
That’s why this foreign account is actually the Director Zhao’s own. He takes kickbacks on every project and is also worth a lot of money. That’s why he has been cooperating with us so steadily for such a long time.
“Does Mr. Mou know?”
Speaking to here, Director Zhao also felt a little guilty, he couldn’t always say the relationship between him and Mu Huainan on the surface.
“Master Lu, after all we have been partners for so many years, you can’t simply say that you have fallen out with us.”
I couldn’t help but want to laugh. “When did I turn hostile? “It’s just that I’m not going to work with you guys on this new project, that’s all. Previously, the contracts were very limited, but now that I’ve come to talk about it, what do I have to say about it?”
Director Zhao was finally speechless.
“If there’s nothing else, we can talk about it here today. I will inform Boss Zhao about the progress of the new project in time. You can rest assured.”
After Boss Zhao left, Ma Li couldn’t help but ask in my ear.
“Master Lu, how can we have three partners that can compete with each other? For this project, what we understand is that there is not only one company in Director Zhao that can meet the standard?”
What I said was said for the Director Zhao to hear. Otherwise, if we don’t find an excuse, both of us would be in trouble.
“The new project is a good time for us to start new partners, so why should we let these old guys get away with it?”
Mu Huainan received the news rather quickly, just as I sent Director Zhao and the rest away, he immediately called me.
“Uncle Huainan.”
I called out sweetly, but there was only a deep breath on the other end of the phone, heavy and long and irritable.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m not messing around.” I said seriously, “I’m just using my method to deal with the company.”
“You’ll screw it up.”
“What did I screw up?” I hastily interrupted him, “I just want to help the company develop more partners. What’s wrong? Obstructing your path, or disrupting your plans?”
The other side was quiet, and the atmosphere was heavy. It was like I was facing a large empty space, so quiet that one couldn’t help but be afraid of what kind of monster would appear inside the cave.
I didn’t want to be so nervous, so I hastily left a message.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
Then I hung up without even saying goodbye.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Mary came in and put a file on my desk.
“Master Lu, this is what you wanted me to investigate. Regarding that case thirteen years ago, the one who was responsible for renovating the villa was this company.”
I nodded.
“It’s been hard on you. Go out.”
ZhengRong Decoration Company.
The information in the document about the company is very comprehensive.
Thirteen years ago, they were just an ordinary workshop for renovations. After renovating my family’s villa, they suddenly expanded the company in the same year and recruited a lot of people. The company’s address was moved to the advanced business district, as if they suddenly met a rich investor.
I have a feeling that this has something to do with decorating my house.
Since it was going to be investigated, it would have to start from the fire. If he could find the reporter who had reported this news back then and ask them about the situation, he should be able to get his hands on it.
I typed in a few keywords in the search box and clicked on the return car. The result shocked me.
Almost all the reports about that year were gone.
I changed a few methods and also changed a few keywords search. But the result was the same.
It’s all about other little things, nothing to worry about, except that I don’t have what I want.
Why did this happen?!
He couldn’t find any trace of him on the internet. It seemed like the person who cleaned up was afraid that people would find out about this, so he tried to cover it up and purposely cleared out all the information from the past.
This could also explain why the Lu residence had been renovated into its original appearance. It was all for the sake of concealing its identity.
The person you want to cover up is definitely the one who harmed my parents!
All of this made me wonder if the reopening of the Lu Group was also a form of cover up.
If so.
Just what role does Mu Huainan play in this?
A bunch of questions lingered in my mind, lingering on my mind. As I thought about it, I got really frustrated. Suddenly, my phone beeped. I turned around and saw that it was a memo.
Today, Friday, reminder to pick up the 99th to go home.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost time. I packed my jacket and was about to leave when I met Ai Meng at the elevator.
We both smiled at each other and went to take the children home.
“What happened to your leg?”
“I’m fine.” I smiled. “I fell.”
“It’s okay.” She put out her hand to support me. “Did you see a doctor?” Is there any bone injury? ”
“No, no. I’ll be fine after two days.”
“Why are you going to pick up ninety-nine if you’re like this?” Ai Meng was worried, as though I was too serious to walk. “If it’s the Mr. Mou, can’t I just send someone to fetch him?”
Mentioning Mu Huainan, my subconscious changed his expression a bit. Ai Meng is currently at the bottom of the working class, she only knows how to read words and she noticed that something is wrong with me, so she did not continue speaking.
“If Jiu Jiu sees you like this, would he be worried?”
“It’s fine, I’ll explain everything to him.”
Ai Meng had originally planned to take a taxi, but I wasn’t such an unreasonable boss.
“Take my car.”
My legs are inconvenient, and the chauffeur is giving us a lift.
When I arrived at the entrance of the 99th school, I saw a Land Rover parked by the side of the road.
Other than Mu Huainan, who else could afford the global limited funds?
As for me, the chauffeur, I just drove over and parked at the back of the car while you, little Audi, sat at the back of the car like a sheep dung egg that he had just pulled out of his car.
“Go, go, go!” I blushed at my own association. “Stop across the road!”
When we came out, Mu Huainan and I got out of the car at almost the same time.
He ignored me, and I didn’t look at him.
Helpless, I couldn’t move my legs, so this fellow seized the initiative. He picked me up and I was stopped by cars on the other side of the road.
If he had known earlier, he would not have stopped at the crossing.
I was so angry that I jumped up and accidentally hit my knee, causing me to gasp in pain.
Everything went wrong today! What bad luck!
Ai Meng followed Li Sheng out. She must have seen Mu Huainan board the carriage a while ago and was surprised to see me here. She immediately understood.
“Vivian, you and Mr. Mou are here.”
She seemed to be worried about me, but it was Li Sheng and Jiu Jiu who walked out of the school together. Since she saw that Mu Huainan wanted to take the child away, she didn’t tell Jiu Jiu that his mother was waiting for him on the other side of the road.
Now that she wanted to watch a show, how could she do as she wished?
“Driver, take Ai Meng and her daughter home, I’ll go home by myself.”
I sulked and walked away.
Ai Meng chased after her. “Weian, don’t try to be brave.
I was a little angry at what happened just now. I kept thinking that she was harboring malicious intentions, so I couldn’t help but speak up.
“Call me Master Lu.”
Ai Meng was slightly taken aback.
“Master Lu, I just …”
“I don’t need you to worry about me.” I interrupted her. “Alright, you can take your daughter to the car. I can go back by myself.”
He never thought that Ai Meng would be so persistent. She took a few steps to follow him, “Why don’t I help you talk to the Mr. Mou. It’s impossible for him not to feel sorry for you when your leg is injured like this. ”
I stopped abruptly.
“You think that Mu Huainan made my leg?”
She looked like she had seen nothing. She opened her mouth and shut it, giving off an air of an old man.
It makes me more agitated.
“Don’t try to be brave, we grew up together, I understand you the best. You have such a strong personality and you have the protection of the Mr. Mou, who can hurt you? “Don’t even try to find excuses to wrestle anymore. It’s so serious, it doesn’t look like a fall at all.”
“Ai Meng, you want to say it, right? If you want to say it, then go and say it to Mu Huainan, don’t follow me.”
I left without looking back. It was only now that I could clearly see Ai Meng’s true appearance. She wasn’t really concerned about me, she was just hoping that I would be like her, abandoned by her husband. Living in this unfortunate situation, at least it would give her some sense of balance.
When I told her to go find Mu Huainan, she immediately disappeared.
I walked along the road by myself, surrounded by the traffic on the side of the road. I was surrounded by parents who had taken their children out of school.
Dead Mu Huainan! Just you wait! You are bullying me like this! I’m not done with you!
I felt extremely uncomfortable, but when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
That person was …
Is it Peng Haobai?
I can’t remember the last time I saw him, except that he said he would ask me to marry him later, but I haven’t received his invitation yet.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard about him. I thought that he had already left the Mu City, but to my surprise, he’s still here.
I followed him in a daze, but I didn’t want to acknowledge him. After so long, he and I should have kept each other in the deepest corner of our hearts. Meeting each other is not as nostalgic as reminiscing.
Just let me follow him like this from a distance and look at him for a while, and I’ll be satisfied.
He came out of a milk tea shop in front of the school with two milkshakes, a pale yellow one and a durian logo on the outside.
It was my favorite drink before.
He took two cups. Someone should be with him.
I hid in the crowd, occasionally moving with it, but never taking my eyes off him.
He waited for a long time to see no one, but sat alone on the railing in front of the school, one drink in his hand, the other with a pipe stuck in the side steps.
My heart skipped a beat.
Peng Haobai was sitting in a seat right in front of a middle school. Inside, there were the boys playing football on the field, and there were also the couple who were taking their lunch boxes to the cafeteria.
Watching this scene, I felt a pang of sadness, remembering how we used to sit like this on the steps by the playground when we were both high school students, and how I waited for him to climb over the wall and buy me a cup of durian milkshake. He didn’t like the taste, but after I forced him to drink it a few times, he was forced to drink with me.
The two of us, shoulder to shoulder and with durian in our hands, no one dared to approach, just enjoying the quiet time that belongs to both of us.
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back.
