Lou Shaotang, you are despicable!

My heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

"Our anti-aging line's raw materials were found to be highly toxic, and the industrial and commercial quality inspection department ordered us to seal the factory for investigation."

"Xiao Ying, Chen Fei has returned to Hai City." Shu Qiao's excited voice pierced my ears.

I sat up straight. "What did you say?"

Hearing the surprise in my tone, Shu Qiao slowly repeated himself, "I said, Qiao Chenfei has returned to Hai Cheng, and is now working as CEO of a large international group."

"Which company?"

"Shoo!" Shu Qiao recalled with all her might, "Aiya, look at my pig's brain, why can't I remember?! "Anyway, it's a very famous company, if you were to say it out loud, you would definitely know it."

Disappointed, I asked her, "How do you know? You've met him? "

"Yeah, I went to the bank a few days ago to do some work, and he happened to be there as well."

"How is he? Are you all right? " My voice was shaking, and my palms were sweating.

"That's good." I smiled, a little sad, but also relieved.

I have always held some guilt towards Qiao Chenfei. Back then, when he left with a hurt heart, I still remember his tearful face. After all these years, every time I think about him, I think about how he's doing, and I hope he's doing fine, so I'm glad to hear that he's doing fine.

"Hmm, that's not it." Shu Qiao sounded somewhat troubled.

"But I did mention you." Afraid I'd be upset, she added at once.

I also thought that I would be sad, but it doesn't seem like it. Perhaps this is the common ailment of a woman. After breaking up with a lover, I hope that he will be happy, but I also hope that he will not forget you. Furthermore, Qiao Chenfei and I did not separate because of our different feelings.

"What did he say?"

"He said he knew."

"He knows?" I wondered how he knew I was doing all right. But then he thought, maybe he just said it casually and didn't care about me at all.

Since my mind was still on the mess of the "Ya Yan", I was not in the mood to continue chatting with Shu Qiao. As soon as I hung up the phone, the secretary hurried over to tell me that DK had informed us that it would suspend cooperation with us, that half of the products it had previously developed would be put on hold indefinitely, and that it had already sent a letter of counsel ready to sue us.

I was stunned. I didn't expect things to get even worse at this time. This matter was of great importance. I immediately went to the DK Headquarters to plead with Hugo, hoping that they would back off this decision.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I spotted Hugo walking into the elevator.

"Hugo."

I called to him in a hurry and hurried toward him, but he didn't hear me and took the elevator up.

I was a little annoyed, but I thought better of it. I decided to wait until I got to the office to find him. I wasn't in a hurry.

When I arrived at the entrance to the 39 Director Lou Court office, I saw that my secretary was not there. I looked through the French windows and saw that it was empty, thinking that Hugo had gone to a meeting with his secretary, so I went to look for Coco, intending to get some information from her first.

"Hugo went to the U.S. headquarters yesterday and wasn't at the company." Listen to me, Coco told me.

"Impossible, I just saw him on the first floor."

"Impossible!" "Yesterday, when his secretary was on leave, I was the one who booked the plane ticket for him."

"… I don't know. Did I see it wrong?"

"When will he be back?"

Coco shrugged, "I don't know, he left in a hurry, as if he was going to headquarters to discuss something."

I, the Void ground pull, pulled its lips.

DK just sent me a notice, Hugo returned to the United States headquarters. And I'm sure that the person I just saw was Hugo. It's just an excuse for him not to see me.

Forget it, it was understandable. In front of benefits, favors were not worth mentioning.

After the DK, I almost fell into despair.

The company's capital was almost all pressed onto the production line. Now that the factory was closed, the workers' salaries would be paid as usual. The money owed by the customers would naturally become a bad debt, and the money invested in the DK cooperative development products would go down the drain. In this way, the capital chain would quickly break and the "Ya Yan" would face bankruptcy.

Late at night, alone in my bed, I was very lonely and helpless. When I think about how my hard work for so many years was destroyed in just a single night and how uncomfortable it felt, I think about my father and Little Yu, the bitter days they had experienced since they were young, and the beautiful future they had in mind, I couldn't help but cry bitterly.

As I was crying, I thought, I can't collapse like this, I have to be strong, or else, what about Little Yu? Therefore, his first priority was to get the money.

I picked up the phone on the bedside table and called Lou Shaotang in the middle of the night, ignoring the fact that it was already midnight.

The phone rang a few times, but no one answered, thinking that he must have gone to sleep. Just as he was about to hang up, the call connected.

Lou Shaotang did not say anything, but I was stunned, and went straight to the point, "When do you plan on getting divorced?"

He still didn't speak. My heart was anxious and angry, I couldn't afford to delay the "Ya Yan", I had to use money to fill the hole as soon as possible.

"Lou Shaotang, I don't have time to waste with you. Tomorrow, get your lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement, not one point less than 5 million."

Although my tone was tough, my heart was in turmoil. I picked at the bed sheets, quietly waiting for his response.

"Heh ~"

After a long while, Lou Shaotang suddenly sneered, and before I could react to his laughter, he hung up.

However, he actually turned off his phone, causing me to throw my phone onto the bed in anger. If it wasn't for the fact that it was too late, I would have rushed to Garden to look for him.

Perhaps because of sleep, the next day I woke up a lot less angry, think or not to look for him, I went to the company.

As soon as I entered the company, the secretary handed me a stack of envelopes. I could see that they were all resignation letters, but in just three days, half the company had already left. I smiled.

I don't know what's going on with Lou Shaotang, but he has been dragging on without a divorce, so I can't just sit there and wait for him to die.

In the afternoon, I had an appointment with the CEO of a venture capital company. Previously, he had intended to invest in "Ya Yan", but I rejected him at that time. Now, I can only brazenly go and find him again to see if he is still interested.

"I understand, but I can assure you that this is only temporary. We will soon be able to …"

"Director Wang." Just as I was trying to convince him again, a voice came through.

I was startled, it was Lou Shaotang. He was inwardly vexed. How could he have come across such a miserable scene?

I lowered my head a little and pretended not to hear.

"Aiya, it's Director Lou. Hello!" Director Wang stood up and stretched out his hand towards Lou Shaotang with a fawning smile on his face.

However, his hand remained suspended in the air for a long time without being retracted by Lou Shaotang. In the end, he could only retract it in an embarrassed manner.

At this moment, the faint smell of tobacco smoke coming from Lou Shaotang's body entered my nose and breath. I knew that he had already stood beside me.

"You guys, haven't finished talking?"

His voice was cold, but there was a hint of warning in it. I was a little doubtful, but I didn't think too deeply about it.

Director Wang looked at me as if he had understood something. "Oh, I'm done. I'm done.

"Director Wang, I …" When I heard this, I became anxious and wanted to stop him, but he immediately interrupted me, "Director Tu, I made it very clear earlier that I cannot help you with this matter. "Goodbye."

He then bid farewell to Lou Shaotang and left like a wisp of smoke.

I sat in my seat with my chest tight, gulping down the cold coffee in one gulp.

Lou Shaotang leisurely pulled open the seat opposite me and sat down. I rolled my eyes at him and turned my face towards the window.

"Didn't you say there were a lot of people helping you? Why didn't I see that?" His sarcastic voice slid into my ear.

I secretly clenched my teeth and looked at him. "Director Wang can't help me, I still have other friends. How would you know all of them?"

Lou Shaotang snorted, "Three days, you have already asked for eight bosses, and none of them are willing to help you. The current capital of 'Ya Yan' can only hold on for five more days, are you sure it's not a problem?"

I stared at him in amazement. Why was he so familiar with my recent movements and the state of the company? Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind.

"You did it?" I couldn't quite believe it, but I had to doubt it.

Lou Shaotang smiled at me silently.

My heart sank rapidly, and at the same time, a surge of anger surged against me.

I slammed the table, "Lou Shaotang, you're so despicable!"
