ABCFWGR Chapter 135: Xun Residence
The next day.
Chen Yuwei tied up her long hair and, instead of returning to the Chen family home, went directly to Chen Group.
In response, Old Master Chen uncharacteristically did not inquire, implicitly approving this action.
Chen Wantai breathed a sigh of relief but didn't notice the envious, jealous, and hateful expression on Chen Qianchuan's face.
Chen Group Headquarters.
Zhang Ke held a folder and walked beside Chen Yuwei, giving a detailed report on the work schedule: "...President Chen, this is the general schedule for today. Do you need any changes?"
"Change the site inspection to a business meeting. Notify the pharmaceutical company that I'll be leading the team personally," Chen Yuwei said without stopping.
"Okay, do we need to contact Fuliu Pharmaceuticals in advance?" Zhang Ke asked earnestly.
"No need, I've already spoken to them," Chen Yuwei replied.
While at the hotel, Wu Anqi had talked to her about the Bingji Yugu Pill and even left her a finished product.
This was also the reason she looked radiant and not at all fatigued at the moment.
Because of this, Zhang Ke was puzzled for a while but didn't dare to ask.
Experiencing the effects firsthand made Chen Yuwei firmly believe that the Bingji Yugu Pill would definitely become a hit, potentially even causing a nationwide craze. After all, no woman is born without a love for beauty.
This was why she valued it so much.
She had a premonition that with the right marketing, Chen Pharmaceuticals' revenue might even surpass the group headquarters in the near future, becoming a new cash cow for Chen Group.
Entering the meeting room.
Chen Yuwei glanced around the room, her gaze pausing briefly on a few empty seats before looking at her watch and saying sternly, "Zhang Ke, note down the names of those who are late and notify the HR department. Anyone on the list, regardless of their department or position, will be dismissed."
This statement shocked everyone present.
Although Chen Yuwei had been strict before, she had never been this decisive.
Seeing this, Chen Yuwei spoke, "There's no need for everyone to worry. I'm still the same person and I'm not targeting anyone specifically, nor do I want to create a tense atmosphere in the company."
"But rules are rules. Yesterday, I had Secretary Zhang notify everyone in advance, yet they are still late. If we don't punish them, it would be unfair to everyone here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.
"I think President Chen is right. We're all getting paid. Why should we work hard while some people do nothing?"
"Exactly, I support President Chen's decision. Clear rewards and penalties are only fair."
"Kick out those slackers, so they don't spoil the whole pot of porridge."
For a moment, the room was filled with enthusiastic support.
Zhang Ke, who was closest to Chen Yuwei, noticed the slight smile on her lips.
This was precisely the effect Chen Yuwei wanted.
She needed a vibrant company, not one that was lifeless and stagnant.
Chen Yuwei quickly took control of the situation, first apologizing to everyone for the previous incident where the company was attacked, then saying some inspiring words that instantly boosted everyone's morale.
It seemed that during her days at the hotel, she hadn't been idle. She had deeply reflected and made changes accordingly.
"Anqi, have you arranged everything? I'll be there in about half an hour."
After the meeting, Chen Yuwei called Wu Anqi.
"You're alive again?"
Hearing her friend's energetic tone, Wu Anqi exclaimed.
"What kind of talk is that, making it sound like I died," Chen Yuwei pretended to be displeased.
"Was there any difference between your state those days and being dead?" Wu Anqi teased.
Chen Yuwei paused on the phone, and just as Wu Anqi thought she was angry, Chen Yuwei spoke, "Let's just say... I've been reborn from the ashes!"
Wu Anqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately congratulated her: “Then I'll be waiting to cling to your coattails!”
Chen Yuwei joked back, “Now it should be me clinging to your coattails. I’ll talk to you later, see you soon.”
……
Xiushui Villa.
Parking lot.
Han Lie came out running with a file folder and got into a car.
“Mr. Gu, there's no need for you to come personally. I could have delivered it to you.”
“No worries, I planned to go out anyway.”
Gu Chen took the file folder, pulled out the photos inside, and began to look through them.
The backgrounds of the photos varied, but without exception, they all included Oya's figure.
According to the content of the photos, after leaving Xiushui Villa, Oya first took O Wan Cheng back to the auction house, and then went out alone, first drinking to drown her sorrows, and then visiting many places.
Han Lie, standing beside him, said, “As per your instructions, I took pictures of every place she went, without missing a single one.”
Gu Chen nodded, pointing to one photo with a background of an estate and asked, “What place is this?”
“Xun Residence.” Han Lie answered without hesitation.
Gu Chen, rubbing the photo, said, “I remember Xun Residence being abandoned for many years. When did someone move in?”
The environment in the photo showed no signs of disrepair, not looking like a place left uninhabited for a long time.
Han Lie recalled, “I hadn't noticed, but if you want to know, I can have someone check it out right now.”
“Also find out who lives there,” Gu Chen added.
The other locations in the photos were shops or crowded places, except for Xun Residence, which was a private property.
Gu Chen didn't believe Oya would go there for no reason. There had to be something more to it.
“Understood! I'll handle it immediately!” Han Lie nodded heavily.
“Be careful and don't take unnecessary risks,” Gu Chen reminded.
“Rest assured, Mr. Gu, I won't make the same mistake as last time,” Han Lie assured him.
Gu Chen knew he was referring to the incident with He Yuan. He hadn’t expected Han Lie to still remember it, so he smiled helplessly and tossed him a small jade bottle. “Take this.”
“This... How can I accept it? It's an honor to work for you.” Han Lie scratched his head, embarrassed.
“Keep it. It's for saving your life. If you ever face a life-threatening situation, hold one in your mouth. It might help you get through it,” Gu Chen said with a smile.
“This... This is too precious. I can't accept it!” Han Lie was shocked.
“To you, it's life-saving. To me, it's just a trivial thing. Now get out; I have to go,” Gu Chen looked at the time.
Seeing this, Han Lie no longer refused and bowed gratefully.
Gu Chen laughed, started the car, and drove away.
Han Lie clutched the small jade bottle tightly. He knew that although Gu Chen made it seem insignificant, it was indeed precious, especially to someone like him who lived a dangerous life.
Walking by the river often, you’re bound to get your shoes wet eventually. If this could save his life at a critical moment, it would be as good as a second life.
“I must not betray Mr. Gu's trust!”
With a serious expression, Han Lie took out his phone and dialed a number: “Get Black Falcon and the others back from An Province!”
