Chapter Twenty-Eight: Restoring Freedom

Although his father is the chairman of Yatai Pharmaceutical, he has long been in charge of things, and almost all the real power has fallen on the father and son of the Meng family.

"You two go out first, and I have something to talk about with Director Lin first." My father's tone was a little cold.

I glanced at Meng Chengyang and exited the conference room, which was locked from the inside.

I didn't want to see Meng Chengyang's hypocritical face, so I turned to the lounge on the side and sat down, not wanting him to follow.

"Tong Tong, I'm sorry, I really drank too much that day." Meng Chengyang was quite repentant.

I used to be blinded by his disguised appearance of a humble gentleman, and now how can I be fooled.

"You don't have to apologize, now you and I don't owe each other." I made him wait for a year, and that meal was compensated by me.

"Tong Tong ......" He walked up to me and tried to soften me even more.

The mobile phone in my bag rang at this time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took out the phone, saw the familiar number, couldn't help but hook my mouth, turned around and walked out of the lounge, and picked up the phone, "Hey." ”

"Listening to the voice, it seems to be up." Zou Zichen's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone with a hint of laziness.

"Well, I woke up early, and now I'm in the company." I naturally softened my voice, and that kind of tone was a little unfamiliar to me.

"Oh," he asked, after a pause, "Did you apply the medicine last night?" ”

Belch...... I had forgotten about it, and when I came back yesterday, he brought me the two bottles of medicine.

"That...... Wiped. ”

"How did you wipe it behind your back?" His tone became sarcastic.

Well, I lied.

"I asked my aunt to help me behind my back." I knew he found out, but I was still stiff.

"Hmph, if you want to lie to me in the future, don't be so weak-hearted."

I stuck out my tongue.

Then I heard the other end say: "I'm going to Hong Kong tomorrow, and I may have to stay there for a few days, and I'll see you at the old place at 9 o'clock in the evening." ”

I pursed my lips and snickered, "Okay." ”

After closing the line, I stood by the window and smirked, when I turned around, I saw Meng Chengyang standing a few steps away, I didn't have time to restrain my smile, he looked at me squarely, he looked at me with a gloomy face, and there was a hatred in his eyes, and then said: "The chairman let us pass." ”

As soon as I walked into the conference room, I felt that the atmosphere was depressing, my father's face was worse than when he came, and Meng Zhijie's face was also very bad. The two of them seem to have quarreled, and they are both a little red-faced.

"Tong Tong, now go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Cheng Yang to divorce you." The first words of my father's mouth startled me.

"Chairman, why is that?" Meng Chengyang was also shocked.

"You still have the face to ask me why, if it weren't for the fact that the two families have been intersecting for so many years, I would have had someone break your legs, hum." The father glared at Meng Chengyang in disgust.

Meng Chengyang seemed to be still unconvinced, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Meng Zhijie, "Don't say it, you are at fault for this matter, and if people don't sue you, it will be regarded as giving us a big face for the Meng family." ”

Meng Chengyang lowered his head angrily and didn't say anything.

"Then we'll do as we say."

Meng Zhijie said something to his father that I didn't understand, and my father nodded, and motioned for me to push him out, as if he didn't want to look at the person in front of him more. When I sent my father to his office, he urged me to leave and told me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau as soon as possible.

Such a big change is something I have never seen in my history, my father's silence yesterday, I don't know in the future, I didn't expect that things would change so quickly, last night I was still racking my brains for this matter, and in the end it was fruitless, and now, just now everything is decided.

I even thought I was dreaming.

It wasn't until I stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with Meng Chengyang that I was sure that this was true.

The divorce matter is very simple, because both families have notarized their property before the marriage, so we have nothing to divide.

After taking the green book handed over by the staff, Meng Chengyang suddenly said this very sourly, "Are you so happy to divorce me?" ”

His face was a little depressed, and there was no joy in him, which I couldn't understand.

"Are you so embarrassed and unhappy, leave me as a monster, and behind you is the daughter of the high-ranking director." I scoffed.

Meng Chengyang smiled bitterly.

In fact, in my heart, there is not much joy, in fact, there is more sourness, if it were not for this marriage, maybe my relationship with him would not have reached this point.

But anyway, I was free and relaxed.

When I left the Civil Affairs Bureau, it suddenly rained heavily. I couldn't walk for a while, standing by the gate, looking at the pouring rain outside, I was stunned.

I suddenly remembered that I once went to the factory with Meng Chengyang to inspect the factory, and it rained heavily when I walked halfway, it was still autumn, Meng Chengyang took off his clothes to cover me from the rain without humming, and he was very drenched. At that time, I thought he was genuinely good to me. I don't know why it's like this.

I glanced sideways at Meng Chengyang slightly. He looked out, his face expressionless, his eyes unfocused.

"Cheng Yang," I whispered to him.

Meng Chengyang turned his head to look at me, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

"I wish you happiness." With that, I rushed into the rain and ran all the way to the parking lot. Wu Yue saw me, started the car, and came up to meet me.

After getting in the car, I called my father and told him that the formalities were complete. He didn't say anything, let me go back to the company.

Back at the company, the conference room on the 15th floor was full of people, and the company's legal counsel also had external counsel lawyers, finance managers, and investment managers...... All the senior management of the company gathered, but the general manager position was empty.

I stood at the door of the conference room, stunned for a moment.

"Tongtong, come and sit." My father motioned for me to sit in the vacant seat, which was the position of general manager.

I glanced at everyone, and their faces were solemn. I walked over a little helplessly and sat down in the position where Meng Chengyang was sitting.

"We have all decided that you will be the general manager, and we will take office from next week." Father said lightly.

"Ah," I stood up, looking at my father across from me in disbelief.

"Alright, now the appointment results and adjourn the meeting." There was a shock in my father's voice that I had never felt before, and I had to obey it.

Everyone got up, shook hands with me one by one, and then rushed out.

When my father and I were the only ones left in the conference room, I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Dad, what are you going to do?" Why did you choose me, what about Meng Chengyang? ”

"If he hadn't married you, he would have been qualified to sit in this position." Father scoffed.

"How can I say that he led Yatai for two years, and his previous achievements are obvious to all, why not let him continue, not to mention that it is still in this period." I couldn't understand that at such a time of crisis for the company, my father wanted to replace the most important leader of the company.

My father slowly turned his wheelchair and slid to my side, looked at me with a cold look that had never been before, looked directly at me, and asked, "Were you with Zou Zichen yesterday?" ”

I was stunned.

"You spent the night at his house yesterday, didn't you?" He asked.

I shook my head lightly and looked at him in disbelief, "You're looking for someone to follow me." ”

"When you went out yesterday, you took his car," the father sneered, "Martin, he is the only one in the city, and your father and I are not old and blind." ”

I lowered my eyes with a weak heart. I thought, what does this have to do with him appointing me as the general manager?

The doubts in my mind passed, and another terrible thought immediately flashed.

"I don't care what method you use, you must let Zou Zichen help Yatai, if so...... Yatai can connect with Hengyuan, so ......"

"Dad, what are you talking about?" I interrupted him in shame, I couldn't believe it was coming from him, was he my father or not?

I clenched my hands and trembled uncontrollably.

"Now the only one who can save Yatai is Hengyuan in Rongcheng." My father looked at me indifferently. "Yatai is the heart of my life, I don't know how many people outside are worried about it, I will never allow anyone to take advantage of the fire to rob. You can't let Yatai fall like this. ”

I looked at him stunned.

The father said: "You also know that Yatai has thousands of employees under it, if Yatai is gone, what will you do with them." ”

"What do they do to my business, do I have to sacrifice myself for them, again and again." I almost screamed, I had never felt so resentful.

It was the first time I felt hopeless about my father.

The father whispered: "You have had no worries about food and clothing since you were a child, they are all given to you by those people, and you have to bear as much responsibility as you have enjoyed as much as you have enjoyed." ”

I looked at my father, and was gradually swallowed up by the coldness, determination, and hardness in his eyes.

When I came out of the conference room, I was wooden and I didn't know how I got back to the office.

Wu Yue quickly informed me, there are many things, I only have one meeting, and he can handle other things, including the handover with Meng Chengyang.

What makes me wonder is how the Meng family could quit Yatai so carelessly? What did my father talk to Meng Zhilin about in the morning? Is the Meng family really related to the car inspection report?

There are too many questions in my heart, but I can't ask them.

After Wu Yue left, I sat down on the big soft chair, physically and mentally exhausted. I thought that after divorcing Meng Chengyang, I would be free. But I have never been free, even though I am now free, but I still can't help myself, and I have always been just a tool of my father's interests.

In the evening, before eight o'clock I went to the Moonlight Bar. When Ah Bin saw me, he greeted me very happily, "Sister Tong is here." ”

I sat down at the bar and waved at him, "Get me a drink." ”

"What do you want to sing?" Ah Bin asked

"Whatever," I just want to drink, I don't want to use my brain.

After a while, Ah Bin brought me a glass, a sky-blue liquid, which looked pretty good. Ah Bin stood behind the bar and looked at me and smiled a little meaningfully.

"Look at me like that." I took a sip from my glass.

Ah Bin's smile became more and more ambiguous, and then leaned closer and said, "Did Mr. Zou make an appointment with you?" ”
