The days crawled on. The project, the engagement, everything was going on in an orderly manner. When Remnant Dream went to the company that day, she received an unexpected piece of news.

Yu Meng did not know what was going to happen. She was confused as she arrived at the headquarters. Many branch managers, as well as all the shareholders, had already arrived.

She was dressed in a black suit with a white ribbon on her arm. Her face was very haggard, with thick dark circles under her eyes. Her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were heavy and lifeless.

She felt it was quite sudden.

"I called everyone here today." Du Qinyi opened her mouth, but the sorrow in her words could not be concealed: "Because we are all from the same company, there are many things that I need to discuss with everyone."

The room was quiet, and everyone was worried by the heavy atmosphere.

Du Qinyi took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at everyone. Finally, she mustered the courage to repeat the news that had almost crushed her heart.

"Two days ago, I received news that Boss Tan Tan Yubai …" choked with sobs.

Yu Meng's heart skipped a beat.

"On the way back, I encountered a terrorist attack, so …"

Even if he tried his best to endure, it would be as difficult for her to say that word as it was to kill her.

"So what?!" Yu Meng could not hold it in any longer. She stood up almost at once, her eyes wide and at a loss for words. "Say something!"

Du Qinyi looked at Yu Meng. This was the first time in their lives that they had ever looked at each other without any sort of attack in their eyes. Not only was there no smell of gunpowder, when they looked at each other, it was as if they had the same kind of grief and shock.

"Boss Tan, he …." Du Qinyi took another deep breath to calm herself down so that her tears wouldn't flow, "She's dead now."

"What?!"

"Isn't this news too sudden?"

"That's right, there was no warning at all just now."

"Heavens, this is too tragic."

"Ai, what a tragedy."

"Then what about the shares in his hands and his position?"

"I don't know either."

"..."

When this news came out, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other. Some were emotional, some were sad, and most of them were worried.

Tan Yubai was previously the Vice President, it would be difficult for him to find someone to replace him after he leaves.

The company is likely to be in crisis.

"Calm down everyone." Du Qinyi opened her mouth: "The reason why I called everyone here today is because I want to discuss a way to get through this trial together with everyone."

Suddenly, someone asked: "Why did you only tell us all after walking for so many days?"

Du Qinyi sighed.

I find it hard to accept that at the moment. If I am able to stand up and tell everyone today, I hope everyone understands, that if the news of Boss Tan's death were to spread, it would definitely have a negative impact on the company.

Every single sentence that Du Qinyi spoke required a deep breath to calm the grief in her heart.

"I hope we can all get through this together."

From below the stage came sighs and questions.

Actually, many of the shareholders here had only agreed to buy shares and support Tan Yubai's abilities back then. Now that Tan Yubai was not here, how could they not be worried about the remaining Du Qinyi, who was hard to find other benefits than his beauty? How could they accept the public?

Du Qinyi seemed to have changed overnight. When it came to guesses and doubts, she would no longer use an excited attitude and instead, understood how to be gentle. Or perhaps, when a person lost the most important thing in their life force, they would instantly see through everything.

Therefore, in the face of doubt, Du Qinyi appeared to be very calm.

"Boss Tan's death was an accident. In that case, what should we do about the shares he originally held?"

When Du Qinyi called for everyone to gather here, she had already thought of something. After this news was announced, what everyone was most concerned about was still the shares in Tan Yubai's hands.

"Because there was an accident in the Boss Tan, there was no agreement to transfer the shares, so the shares in his hands will be treated as the company's public property. At the end of this year, the shares will be auctioned off."

Everyone was whispering to each other.

Someone stood out to speak again.

"Why can't we just auction it? To drag it out until the end of the year? "

"I'm sorry. This has something to do with my personal feelings." It was already very good that Du Qinyi was able to take it out and auction it, because only she herself knew how much she couldn't bear to part with it.

She gave the company to Tan Yubai for the sake of love, but Tan Yubai left with her love and money, and left without looking back.

Du Qinyi soon had nothing left, if that portion of her assets was auctioned off so quickly, she would really have nothing left.

She just wanted to keep it for a little longer, to give herself a little more chance, that was all.

Fortunately, they didn't continue to force her.

That day, everyone dispersed very early. Du Qinyi had only announced this news to everyone and after talking about the future plans of the company and Tan Yubai's position, she decided to remain empty for the time being.

And then, out of control of his emotions, he ended the meeting early.

The only thing left behind was more than a dream.

She had been sitting in silence ever since she had asked the question, until everyone had dispersed, and she still hadn't moved.

Du Qinyi walked over to sit beside Yu Meng and asked.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

Yu Meng didn't say anything. She walked over for a long time before finally moving her gaze away from the blank table.

"Is what you said true?"

Du Qinyi stood up and poured a cup of water for Yu Meng.

"I spent three days and three nights sitting by the bed in a daze, almost dying without food or drink, before I was willing to believe this."

Yu Meng saw red veins in Du Qinyi's eyes.

"His …"

At this time, Yu Meng and Du Qinyi suddenly had an unprecedented tacit understanding.

Yu Meng choked on her sobs again, unable to say the following words, but Du Qinyi understood tacitly and told her the answer without Yu Meng finishing her sentence.

"No entity, not even official notice. Because the terrorist attack was required to be kept secret in the local country in order to avoid widespread riots. " Du Qinyi sighed: "Therefore, the local police only found the passport that was broken inside the ruins, they roughly judged the identity of the deceased and contacted me."

"So, there's no corpse, right?" Yu Meng could finally bite the pain and say the word 'corpse'.

Du Qinyi nodded lightly.

"I'd like to see his death notice."

Du Qinyi stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Only Yu Meng was left sitting there.

She hadn't cried so far because she had a feeling that Tan Yubai was still alive.

How could he have suddenly left just like that? Perhaps it was this black man's prank again. It didn't matter if he broke his own leg in order to stop Yu Meng from attending a press conference and pretending to have a car accident. What else could he not do?

This man, not only was he ruthless to others, he was also always ruthless to himself.

Yu Meng thought to herself as she finally stopped feeling a little sad.

The door to the meeting room opened, and Du Qinyi walked in with a laptop in her hands.

It contained the encrypted documents sent by the Chinese Embassy, Tan Yubai's death report, as well as measures to comfort and compensate his family.

Yu Meng's heart sank.

She repeatedly looked at those few lines of words, and finally, she saw a black-and-white photo of Tan Yubai.

The entire room was silent, Du Qinyi sat by the side as she closed the computer and helped Yu Meng pass over a piece of paper.

She looked at her tears and could not help crying, too.

This world was very strange. They were originally rivals in a tit for a tat, but now, because of one thing, they shed tears.

Because in the whole world, there was only this one moment, and only they could move each other's feelings.

The peaceful atmosphere was broken by Du Qinyi.

"Do you know, Yu Meng, I always thought that I was stronger than you, so I never thought that I would actually be as pitiful as you."

Yu Meng simply smiled.

"Is that so?"

"That's right. Look at me, how am I any different from the you who lost everything back then?"

Yu Meng turned around and said, "You still have your company, and your parents."

"You must think that I do not love Tan Yubai as deeply as you do, because you thought that when you gave all of your possessions to Tan Yubai, you would lose everything in the end. But now, even if I do not have Tan Yubai, I still have a company left, right?"

"I don't think so," Yu Meng replied flatly.

"I have never cared whether or not you truly loved Tan Yubai, or how much you truly loved him."

"Because in your eyes, I'm just a mean woman, right?"

Yu Meng bluntly nodded her head, "Yes."

"But you know what? I was just too afraid of what would happen to you, so I was too careful. I did everything I could to keep that man by my side."

"But did you succeed?" Yu Meng asked an obvious question.

"Heh, you and I both understand how cold-blooded Tan Yubai is.

In his world, only benefits faced each other.

"So my way of keeping him is to get hold of his weakness. I threatened him, used each other to the best of their abilities, just to be with him. "

Yu Meng no longer spoke. She just held her water cup, and listened to Du Qinyi seriously.

"I also know his ambition. He wants to be someone who can control the world with one hand, so he needs me. He needs the resources from the Du Family, so I have always been of value to him."

Du Qinyi sighed, and turned to look at Yu Meng: "You should know this better than me, you gave the company to him so freely, not only because you don't want to, but also because you know Tan Yubai, and he needs a platform to display his skills."

Therefore, Yu Meng didn't hesitate to hand over her company to him, because she loved him. As long as he was doing well, she didn't care.
