Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 448 Tong Shili Turns Against Her

During the meal, Song Yutong asked, "It's so hard to get a table here, how did you manage to snag one? Tell me quickly, I want to patronize the chef here!"

Lu Yaoyuan gave a cold snort without giving him any face: "Your ambition is truly lofty."

"None of your business!" Song Yutong glared at him, then turned to Yan Zuozuo, "Speak up, speak up."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing, and then heard Chi Shangjiang say unhurriedly, "If you want to eat, just give Zuozuo a call, and this room will be reserved for you."

Huh? What does that mean?

Song Yutong blinked: "Easy for you to say, is it your family's business?"

"Long hair, short brains." Lu Yaoyuan sneered. "This place is his family's business, and his wife is the biggest shareholder, understand?"

They have this look of disdain for idiots.

Upon hearing this, Song Yutong's jaw nearly dropped in shock. "Holy crap, really? Miss Yan Zuozuo, the beloved wife of a general, you actually own shares in this restaurant?!"

“Ahem,” Yan Zuozuo coughed lightly and said, “This originally belonged to Mo Qing, but he later gave me the shares.”

"Wow, wow, wow, so you're not only talented and beautiful but also very rich? I'm jealous, I'm not happy!" Song Yutong gritted her teeth and snorted, "Chi Shangjiang, you're spoiling your wife too much. Be careful she doesn't leave you and runs away with your money."

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "A wife is meant to be cherished. If she really runs away, it just means I haven't done enough."

Song Yutong was conflicted, jealous, and glaring at Lu Yaoyuan, who was happily eating. She grabbed his ear and yelled, "You idiot, why don't you just die?"

"..." Lu Yaoyuan's lips twitched, and he coldly gave her three words, "Airplane ticket."

alright, you win.

After finishing her meal, Song Yutong patted her round little belly, looking content and ready to take a nap. Just as she was drifting off, she heard Lu Yuanyao ask, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say you had something to discuss with us? What is it?"

Yan Zuozuo took a sip of juice and briefly explained the situation, "I may not be able to spend much time at Fan Hua Design in the future, so I'll have to trouble you from now on. Please feel free to make any requests."

Song Yutong and Lu Yaoyuan exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and said, "Is your sister-in-law afraid we'll pack up and leave?"

Yan Zuozuo spoke frankly: "I do have a concern. After all, my abilities are not as good as yours, especially Yutong. She was invited by Director Fisher. Now that he's gone, I'm worried that I'll lose you too."

Song Yutong smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of bribe the director wants to use to keep me here?"

“Ten percent of the shares in Fanhua Design.” She paused, then added, “You and Yaoyuan each own ten percent. I know that Fanhua Design is not big enough yet, but I believe that as long as you are here, we can definitely grow bigger and stronger.”

Song Yutong smiled and said, "As expected of a wealthy woman, you are very generous. As for the 10% share, I will not refuse. However, I have one more condition."

Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up. So, Song Yutong agreed to stay?

"You said."

"I want to become sworn sisters with you. From now on, I can come here to eat whenever I want." Song Yutong said smugly. It was wonderful to think about. This place would be like her own private restaurant. It couldn't be more perfect.

Yan Zuozuo has three black lines on his forehead. Isn't the following sentence the key point?

"You'd give up all your integrity for food?" Lu Yaoyuan rolled his eyes, then said to Yan Zuozuo in a sycophantic tone, "Little sister-in-law, you know, I actually own shares in Fan Hua Design. Ten percent is nothing to me. As long as I can come here to eat with my buddies whenever I want, I'll be perfectly content."

Song Yutong sneered: "Director Lu, where's your integrity?"

"You ate it." Lu Yaoyuan looked at Yan Zuozuo with her bright, sparkling eyes, looking like she was begging him to nod his head.

Yan Zuozuo was speechless for a moment. Could this be considered a lucky accident? A restaurant actually managed to win over two famous designers. This was a very profitable deal.

"So, you've agreed to stay?"

“That’s right, there’s no reason not to keep such delicious food when we’re always late,” Song Yutong said happily. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly asked, “Is it on sale?”

Everyone: "..."

Having dealt with Song Yutong and Lu Yaoyuan, Yan Zuozuo's biggest headache now was Tong Shili. Although even Song Yutong and Lu Yaoyuan supported her, Tong Shili, even if she disagreed, didn't really have any say. But for some reason, Yan Zuozuo had a premonition that she might run into trouble with Tong Shili.

On her first day at work, Yan Zuozuo convened an all-staff meeting. Many people had reservations about her becoming a major shareholder and director of Fan Hua Design, since she was far inferior to Song Yutong and Lu Yuanyuan in every aspect.

However, some people felt it was only natural. After all, Fan Hua Design belongs to the Chi Group, and Yan Zuozuo holds the most shares, so it's not surprising that she would become the director.

Regardless of whether these people supported Yan Zuozuo, she ultimately secured that position. As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and she immediately began reforming the design department.

Although the company has flourished under Fisher's leadership, it also has many problems. Yan Zuozuo took this opportunity to clean up these cancers one by one, so as to clear the way for Lu Yaoyuan and Song Yutong.

Such a large-scale rectification naturally caused widespread anxiety within the company, and Yan Zuozuo was busy calming everyone down. She knew very well that any lapse in any环节 could potentially affect the company's future development.

Only after she had dealt with all of this did she have time to face Tong Shili.

Tong Shili was leisurely sipping coffee in her office. The world of spotlight wasn't for her; all she wanted was simple peace and quiet. However, this kind of life seemed incredibly precious to her.

A text message arrived on her phone, and her expression changed slightly.

Sure enough, the things she longed for most in her life were the things she could never get.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, she looked down at the hurried pedestrians on the street, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Just then, the office door opened, and Yan Zuozuo walked in.

Tong Shili glanced at her, a forced smile on her face, "Director, you're so busy, how come you have time to come here?"

Tong Shili's slightly sarcastic tone made Yan Zuozuo's heart tighten: "I have a few words I want to say to you."

Since Yan Zuozuo took the position of director, Tong Shili became the official deputy director of the women's clothing department. Although it was a promotion, she felt no joy at all.

Yan Zuozuo sat opposite her and saw Tong Shili casually sipping her coffee, showing no intention of responding to her.

My hunch was right; I'm afraid she'll stumble like Tong Shili.

"Shili, you've always been very direct, and I won't beat around the bush with you. In your opinion, am I unqualified to be the director?"

Tong Shili raised an eyebrow and put down her coffee. "It's not just me who thinks you're not qualified, is it? If it weren't for Director Fisher's strong recommendation, do you really think you're capable of attending Milan Fashion Week?"

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, roughly understanding Tong Shili's meaning.

Tong Shili met her gaze, her eyes cold. "I don't care who gets the director position; I've never been interested in that position. What I care about is that Fan Hua Design only has one nomination spot, and Fisher gave it to you. Yan Zuozuo, do you really think you're qualified to participate?"

Yan Zuozuo did not back down, looking directly at Tong Shili, "Indeed, whether it's Director Song, Director Lu, or you, you are all more outstanding in every aspect. But you also need to understand that Director Fisher only recommended me, and whether I can participate still depends on their review and approval. And they have obviously approved of me."

She paused, then continued, "I know you have opinions about this matter, and I believe many others share your views, but I don't feel guilty at all because I passed the review based on my abilities. Also, I don't want you to bring this dissatisfaction into your work. As the deputy director of the women's clothing department, I hope you can do your job to the best of your ability. As for your dissatisfaction, you can keep it to yourself."

Tong Shili snorted coldly: "Is the director implying something?"

"I don't need to hint; I can tell you directly and clearly that I allow differing opinions, and even friction and disputes, but I will absolutely not allow a second Qin Yun to appear. Otherwise, I will show no mercy!"

Yan Zuozuo's assertive words made Tong Shili raise an eyebrow. "Director, comparing Qin Yun to me is underestimating me." Her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Yan Zuozuo. "Even if I were to do something, I would never be so stupid. Director, I also have something to remind you: that position is not easy to hold. Be careful."

Yan Zuozuo narrowed her eyes. Was Tong Shili officially issuing a challenge? She knew who was behind Tong Shili and was also aware of her secretive style. Hearing this, she couldn't help but wonder if this was Tong Shili's own idea or the idea of ​​the person behind her.

If it was J's idea, then what was her reason for doing this?

Yan Zuozuo couldn't figure it out, so she decided to ask her clever husband when she got home that evening. She was preparing design sketches for Milan Fashion Week when the phone rang. It was Meng Yuanfei calling, saying that something had happened at the charity and asking her to come over and take a look.

Yan Zuozuo frowned. When she arrived at the charity, she learned that the amount raised was about a third less than before. And a large portion of this fundraising came from the Chi family. If the Chi family were excluded, the amount they raised would be negligible.

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "What caused this?"

Since she became president, she has indirectly used the reputations of the Chi family, the business community, and the Ou family to not only avoid reducing donations but actually increase them. But this time…

Meng Yuanfei's reason for giving her this was: the reason is unknown.

She spent the entire afternoon at the charity, racking her brains but still unable to figure out what was going on. It wasn't until Chi Moqing came to pick her up that she realized it was already past her workday. She walked over, smiled apologetically at him, and said, "Honey, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay, can I go home now? I've already prepared dinner." Chi Moqing smiled gently.

She wondered if it was because of her pregnancy, but she had been particularly easily moved lately. She hugged Chi Moqing and gave him a big kiss.
