Chapter 160: Perfunctory response, company regulations
Chu's father, Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family woke up and came down from upstairs.
Just then I saw the envelope that Chu Xiyan was holding tightly in her hand.
Knowing Xiyan's character, they immediately guessed that the envelope contained a love letter.
They looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The Chu family had already anticipated the final outcome.
Xi Yan couldn't catch up with Cheng Ye.
Not to mention that Cheng Ye has no feelings for Xi Yan, he has deep feelings for Jiang Mian.
Even if Cheng Ye has no feelings for Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian is the daughter of the Jiang family. As a top wealthy family, even from the perspective of interests, Cheng Ye will still choose the Jiang family which has higher power and status than the Chu family.
But Chu Xiyan was deceiving herself. She naively thought that Cheng Ye didn't know Jiang Mian's identity yet, and felt that there would be hope and opportunity if she worked hard.
Mother Chu couldn't help but worry that it was only a matter of time before Jiang Mian's identity as a rich girl was exposed to the public.
There has been a lot of noise online these days, and I also heard about some things in Cheng Ye's company.
She had to admit the reality, that is, Cheng Ye's career was on an upward trend, and the distance between Cheng Ye and Xi Yan would only get farther and farther, and it would be difficult for them to be on the same wavelength in the future.
Chu Xiyan saw the Chu family coming downstairs. She paused and said, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Xingyao Entertainment has gone bankrupt."
Chu's father and the others were all stunned. Bankruptcy? Xingyao went bankrupt?
As a leading enterprise, could it be so easily bankrupted by Cheng Ye?
A strong desire flashed in Father Chu's eyes, "Xiyan, did Xingyao go bankrupt because of Cheng Ye?"
Chu Xiyan knew that her parents and grandfather were busy with company affairs every day. After working all day yesterday, they went to their bedroom to rest when they got home in the evening.
I don't have the time and energy to pay attention to Cheng Ye's news.
She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Xingyao was bankrupted by Cheng Ye, and he took its place and became the most powerful entertainment company in the country."
As soon as the words fell, the Chu family was very shocked, and they hurriedly sat next to Chu Xiyan.
The Chu family clicked on the trending search on Weibo, and Chu Xiyan, who was standing nearby, explained to them in a concise and clear manner the specific process of how Cheng Ye brought down Xingyao.
After hearing this, Father Chu couldn't help but sigh for the Cheng family, "What a pity! The Cheng family didn't know how to judge people. They didn't cherish their excellent biological son, but instead loved an adopted son who had no blood relationship with them."
"Among the industries under the Cheng Group, the entertainment industry is the weakest. If the Cheng Group acquires Cheng Ye's company, it will just be able to make up for its own shortcomings."
The old man of the Chu family nodded in agreement, "Yes. I don't know what the Cheng family is thinking."
"If I were a member of the Cheng family, knowing that the conflict between Cheng Ye and Cheng Fenghao was irreconcilable, I should have kicked Cheng Fenghao out of the wealthy family early on to show my sincere repentance, instead of repenting and still keeping Cheng Fenghao in the Cheng family."
The old man of the Chu family shook his head regretfully, "In the final analysis, it is still biased towards Cheng Fenghao. No wonder Cheng Ye broke off relations with them and left the Cheng family. The degree of bias has really reached a suffocating level."
Hearing the voice, Chu Xiyan pursed her lips and her mood suddenly became depressed.
She didn't understand it before, but after hearing what her grandfather said, Chu Xiyan could finally feel firsthand the injustice of the Cheng family towards Cheng Ye.
After eighteen years, his wealthy family identity was taken away, and his biological parents and sisters repeatedly questioned and blamed Cheng Ye for Cheng Fenghao.
Cheng Fenghao was able to get an 18th birthday party, but Cheng Ye was slandered and pushed into the party by Cheng Fenghao.
Thinking back, she actually helped the evil, stood on Cheng Fenghao's side, and ordered Cheng Ye to kneel down and apologize to Cheng Fenghao without any reason.
Chu Xiyan regretted her decision, her eyes filled with annoyance and remorse.
Mr. Chu's desire became stronger and stronger. If Cheng Ye could become the son-in-law of the Chu family, it would definitely help the development of the Chu family.
He thought for a while and said to Chu Xiyan: "Xiyan, Dad thinks that you can try to pursue Cheng Ye."
Mother Chu patted Father Chu's shoulder and said, "What are you thinking? Cheng Ye has Jiang Mian protecting him. If you encourage your daughter to pursue Cheng Ye, wouldn't that just offend Jiang Mian?"
Father Chu really wants Cheng Ye to be the son-in-law of the Chu family. "You can't wait to find a good boy. Xiyan, don't deliberately target Jiang Mian. Get Cheng Ye first. This is a high-risk thing!"
“But with high risk comes high reward!!”
Father Chu continued, "In short, we can't give up easily and let the Jiang family get away with it. Otherwise, the gap between our Chu family and the Jiang family will get bigger and bigger."
"Consolidating and improving the status of our Chu family and narrowing the power gap between us and the Jiang family should also be one of the Chu family's plans."
After listening to this, the old man of the Chu family suddenly felt that what Cheng's father said made sense.
Cheng Ye is now developing at a strong pace. It would be too easy for the Jiang family to give up pursuing Cheng Ye just because they are afraid of Jiang Mian's daughter.
Chu Xiyan was delighted to see that her father actually agreed with her pursuit of Cheng Ye. "Dad, I'm very happy that you agree to let me pursue Cheng Ye."
Mother Chu couldn't bear to dampen her daughter's enthusiasm. "I support it, but you should be careful not to offend Jiang Mian."
The old man of the Chu family stroked his beard and said, "Xiyan, do your best. Grandpa also supports you."
With the consent and support of her family, Chu Xiyan was more motivated to pursue Cheng Ye.
Father Chu was filled with anxiety whenever he thought about how Cheng Ye, without relying on the power of the Cheng family, was able to single-handedly defeat the industry giant Xingyao Entertainment.
He couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
Boys with extraordinary talents are so rare! !
If Xiyan could catch him, the benefits it would bring to the Chu family would be immeasurable.
Chu Xiyan looked excited. Before sending the love letter to Cheng Ye, she needed to talk to Jiang Mian in private.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiyan's eyes were determined, and she stood up quickly, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I have something to go out first."
"Go ahead, and be careful outside." Mother Chu warned with concern.
Chu Xiyan couldn't wait to go out.
According to the time point, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian are both in the company at this moment.
Chu Xiyan was unwilling to accept this. Why could Jiang Mian always stay by Cheng Ye's side? !
As the legitimate fiancée, Cheng Ye just treated her coldly.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiyan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Every sweet moment between Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian would make Chu Xiyan collapse uncontrollably.
On the brink of collapse at any time.
Her heart felt empty, depressed and sad.
Arriving downstairs of the Beijing Center Building, Chu Xiyan looked up at the floor where Cheng Ye's company was located, and she clenched her hands firmly.
The security guard didn't dare to stop the eldest daughter of the Chu family. Before Chu Xiyan could speak, he opened the door on his own initiative.
In this way, Chu Xiyan came to the floor where Cheng Ye's office was located without any obstruction.
Each floor of the central building is spacious enough. Chu Xiyan took the elevator. The door of Cheng Ye's company was ajar. She pushed the door open and went in. The receptionist raised her eyes when she heard the noise.
When the receptionist saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Chu family, his expression changed.
As everyone knows, the boss and Jiang Mian are a couple.
According to online gossip, Miss Chu can't forget her old love for her boss and wants to win him back.
The receptionist said politely, "Miss Chu, the boss is not in the company at the moment."
Assistant Chi had already informed everyone in advance that no matter which family they were from, Cheng or Chu, he would tell them that the boss was not in the company.
As a competent employee, the front desk clerk of course always kept Assistant Chi's reminder in mind.
Her boss's company is the most powerful entertainment company in the country. She put a lot of effort into preparing for the interview and finally got the company's offer amidst the fierce competition among many job seekers.
She would do whatever Assistant Chi said and would never dare to just do it perfunctorily.
She was counting on working here until she grew old.
Cheng Ye is not in the company?
Chu Xiyan was feeling a little down, but she quickly remembered that the reason she came here was to find Jiang Mian.
She immediately asked, "Is Jiang Mian in the company?"
The receptionist lied without hesitation, "Ms. Chu, Jiang Mian is not in the company either."
"She went out with the boss." The receptionist lied seriously, "I saw the boss and Jiang Mian go out hand in hand."
Chu Xiyan frowned. They were not in the company, so where would they go?
She quickly made a phone call and asked the housekeeper to investigate where Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian had gone.
But before the call was connected, Chu Xiyan suddenly saw Jiang Mian appear from the room.
The front desk clerk hadn't seen Jiang Mian yet. She was only concerned about Chu Xiyan and continued to lie, "Ms. Chu, if you want to find the boss and Jiang Mian, you can come and see them tomorrow. But I don't know if they will still be in the company tomorrow."
Chu Xiyan looked at the front desk, then at Jiang Mian, who didn't care at all about the outside comments.
Her eyes were filled with jealousy as she glared at the receptionist, "You are so bold that you actually lied to me so brazenly."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, a soft and sweet voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Chu Xiyan, she is not your employee. So what if she doesn't lie? You are meddling too much."
Jiang Mian glanced coldly at Chu Xiyan.
The receptionist was shocked, my god! The lie was exposed.
She was suddenly frightened and instinctively hid behind Jiang Mian.
The receptionist was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She couldn't afford to offend either side. She was just a humble worker.
I hope they won't get involved with me.
Thinking of this, the receptionist adhered to the principle of silence is golden and watched the show quietly.
Chu Xiyan refused to give in. "Jiang Mian, the receptionist lied, which proves that she was perfunctory in dealing with me. This is not a good thing for the company. When dealing with people who come to the company, you should answer sincerely instead of taking shortcuts."
Jiang Mian sneered, "Is there a possibility that dealing with you perfunctorily is the latest rule of Cheng Ye's company. Chu Xiyan, you are still so narcissistic. Do you really think Cheng Ye treats you as his fiancée?!"
Chu Xiyan's face darkened, "What exactly do you want in order to let Cheng Ye go?"
Jiang Mian's well-behaved little face showed an innocent smile.
She gradually approached, her eyes boiling with madness, "You were the one who didn't want him first and abandoned him. Now that he has become better, you are rushing to get his forgiveness and try to keep him."
"Chu Xiyan, is your love so hard to show?" Jiang Mian said sarcastically, "You're asking me to let him go. That's wishful thinking."
Jiang Mian had a cold expression, and he looked at Chu Xiyan as if he was looking at a lifeless corpse.
Chu Xiyan was shocked when she heard the voice. She stood there in a daze. The feeling of unwillingness in her heart kept growing with Jiang Mian's words.
Chu Xiyan really hated Jiang Mian's two completely different faces.
"Jiang Mian, the one who is intimate with Cheng Ye should be me. He is my betrothed." Chu Xiyan spoke word by word, "If I hadn't let you go, do you think you would have had a chance to get close to Cheng Ye?!"
"I will make up for my mistake." Chu Xiyan said in a serious and sincere voice.
Jiang Mian blinked, "Your attempt to make amends is nothing more than a way to make yourself feel at ease. Belated trust is rubbish."
Chu Xiyan felt as if a knife was cutting into her heart, and she was filled with fear.
"You are the perpetrator, what qualifications do you have to ask me to leave Cheng Ye?"
Chu Xiyan felt cold, and she kept denying and making excuses, "I'm not the perpetrator, no!" Chu Xiyan's face turned pale, "I just made a small mistake, but I will correct it, and I won't treat him so badly anymore."
Chu Xiyan was unwilling to admit that she had caused misunderstandings to Cheng Ye time and time again, and helped Cheng Fenghao to accuse and frame Cheng Ye.
Jiang Mian said coldly: "You are the perpetrator."
The words were concise and to the point, but they instantly revealed the fact that Chu Xiyan was unwilling to admit.
But she firmly believed that as long as she tried hard enough, Cheng Ye would be able to forgive herself.
Jiang Mian said lightly, "A broken mirror cannot be put back together. No matter how well you put a broken mirror together, there will always be cracks in it."
Chu Xiyan didn't want to believe the fact, her tears gradually blurred her vision ahead.
But she still doesn’t want to give up!!
Jiang Mian's interest in Cheng Ye is just a temporary one, and I believe that Jiang Mian will get tired of it soon.
In the pursuit of Cheng Ye, she is willing to face difficulties and twists.
Chu Xiyan said firmly: "Jiang Mian, I will not give up Cheng Ye. I will be the only one who will protect Cheng Ye in the future."
Jiang Mian shrugged indifferently, "It makes no difference. You still can't beat me."
Chu Xiyan gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Mian, I know you want to play with Cheng Ye, but he is a human being, not your exclusive property."
Jiang Mian smiled obediently, and her two cute dimples were particularly charming.
Although he looks just like a normal person, the seeds of evil deep in his heart have already taken root and grown into towering trees.
Jiang Mian’s only weakness is Cheng Ye.
She suddenly heard a noise beside her ears, it was Cheng Ye's footsteps.
Jiang Mian was 100% familiar with Cheng Ye’s footsteps.
So she quickly guessed that Cheng Ye was walking towards her.
Jiang Mian's cold face was instantly filled with tears, his long eyelashes trembled, and crystal tears stuck to his curled eyelashes.
The corners of her eyes were red, and she looked pitifully beautiful.
Jiang Mian took two steps forward and placed his two fair little hands on Chu Xiyan's arms.
Chu Xiyan didn't like Jiang Mian's approach, and she wanted to push Jiang Mian away at that moment.
Caught off guard, Jiang Mian suddenly fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Chu Xiyan in disbelief, her voice weak and pitiful.
"Sister, why did you push me? Is it because I didn't do well enough?" Jiang Mian's eyes were red. "You are the monitor of our class, but in my heart I already regard you as my own sister."
Jiang Mian hung his head dejectedly, "I feel so bad when you treat me like this. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you sister, it's my fault."
Chu Xiyan suddenly widened her eyes, "Jiang Mian, you..."
Then, she saw Cheng Ye appear and help Jiang Mian up from the ground.
Jiang Mian snuggled in Cheng Ye's arms, rubbed her little face against Cheng Ye's clothes, and said in a choked voice: "My sister hates me."
Cheng Ye looked impatient, his cold gaze fell on Chu Xiyan's eyes, "Chu Xiyan, are you done yet?!"
