Chapter Twenty: Zhao Dong's Kind Reminder

  The next day, Yang Yu went to work as usual.

  Yang Yu didn't go to the Information Department, but instead went to Liu Xueyao's office. After a whole day of cleaning up, the originally messy office had returned to its original state. However, upon closer inspection, some signs of fighting could still be seen.

  "How did you come? Don't stay at home and rest for a while?" Liu Xueyao stood up, then poured Yang Yutong a cup of coffee by herself.

  "It's not that I'm worried about you, Yu Zeming is still up to no good, how can I rest at home?" Yang Yu smiled, after what happened the day before yesterday, he and Liu Xueyao had become more casual with each other.

  When Yang Yu mentioned Yu Zeming, Liu Xueyao showed a hint of coldness: "He didn't come to work yesterday or today. Just now Grandpa called me and said that Yu Zeming is with him now, and he won't be coming to work for the next few days either."

  "Yu Zeming, what are you doing? Your grandfather is also getting old and muddled!" Yang Yu wondered.

  "Hmph!" Yu Xueyao let out a cold snort, but didn't say anything.

  "Alright, no matter what, as long as I'm in the company for a day, he won't be able to play any tricks. I believe he won't be able to jump around for many days either." Yang Yu said firmly.

  Liu Xueyao furrowed her brow upon hearing Yang Yu's affirmative tone.

  Yang Yu chatted with Liu Xueyao for a while, then saw Secretary Wang Li returning and tactfully left. However, just as she was about to exit the doorway, she was intercepted by the Minister of Personnel Affairs, someone she had only met once before.

  "Yang Yu, can we talk?" Zhao Donglai asked with a smile.

  Yang Yu found it strange that he had come to the company and made a bit of a mistake, but Liu Xueyao had already dealt with it. At this time, the personnel department was looking for him, and it was still the head of the personnel department.

  "Director Zhao has spoken, so let's chat! However, if it's about work-related matters, I can only apologize, as a newcomer to the company, I don't quite understand the rules yet, and Director Zhao will laugh at me." Yang Yu said with a smile.

  "This has nothing to do with work." Zhao Donglai said in a low voice, "Alright, follow me to the personnel department. Today I want to talk to you about personal matters."

  The conference room of the personnel department, Yang Yu and Zhao Dong sat facing each other.

  "You and Xue Yao have known each other for a long time, right?" Zhao Donglai spoke first.

  As for this, Yang Yu had no denial. Three years of high school and four years of college were not early to know what it was, but he was more curious about Zhao Donglai's address to Liu Xueyao, which was called Snow instead of Director Liu.

  As Yang Yu nodded, Zhao Donglai's face turned serious. Without saying anything in a hurry, Zhao Donglai took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket and motioned to Yang Yu.

  "Never mind, I won't smoke." Yang Yu didn't have a smoking habit, but occasionally after drinking some wine, he would have a few.

  Zhao Dong nodded, took out a lighter, mechanically lit a cigarette, and said faintly: "Actually, I was able to enter Guangtian Technology Group mainly because of my father's reason. My father is an old friend who grew up with the old man."

  Yang Yu didn't say anything, she just quietly listened.

  "My father once said that although Old Master is a bit stubborn, he rarely makes mistakes. However, there is one thing he did wrong." Zhao Dong sighed.

  "Forty-four years ago, the capital was quite chaotic, and women who came out to sell themselves filled every nightclub. It's a man's nature to be romantic, and old masters were no exception. As soon as an old master had some success, he would have a relationship with a woman in a nightclub, and not long after, that woman became pregnant. That woman was also the grandmother of Liu Xuechao."

  At this point, Zhao Donglai lit another cigarette.

  "Go on!" Yang Yu looked at Zhao Donglai, he was also quite curious.

  "That woman found the old man, but at that time, the old man had already had a crush on someone else, and this person was related to his career. So the old man did something very shameless, which was to refuse to acknowledge her, and secretly warned the woman not to ruin his future." A faint bitter smile appeared on Zhao Donglai's mouth.

  "The woman was also a loyal and chaste person, not at all like someone from the pleasure quarters. In the end, she only took a small amount of money from the old master and left, never to be heard from again. If things had ended there, it would have been fine, but fifteen years ago, the old master's wife suddenly saw a young man who looked very much like the old master - this person was none other than Liu Xuejiao's father."

  "The old lady was not an ordinary person, when the old master had not yet made a name for himself, she was his right-hand man, helping him through many difficulties. As soon as she saw this young man, she knew he must have a relationship with the old master, so she asked around and inquired about the people around the old master. Soon, the old lady understood the ins and outs of the situation."

  "After knowing all this, the old lady took her son and daughter-in-law to leave Jinghai, planning to find Xueyao's family. The purpose was not to harm them, but to see if they could help them. However, unexpectedly, on the way, the old lady, along with her son and daughter-in-law, got into a car accident, and none of them survived."

  Yang Yu heard a long sigh, and unexpectedly, there was such a thing, this old man was really tragic.

  "After the old man received this news, he was in agony and pushed all the responsibility onto Xue Yao's family. So even if he knew of their existence, he didn't plan on acknowledging them. It has been like this for ten years."

  "The old man's son and daughter-in-law may have passed away, but they left him a grandson. At first, the old man devoted all his energy to this grandson, hoping that he would make something of himself and take over his business. However, things did not go as planned, and instead, due to the old man's doting, the grandson ended up becoming a complete wastrel."

  "Ha ha!" Yang Yu laughed inappropriately, "So the old man thought of Xue Yao's family again and had them brought to Jinghai?"

  Zhao Donglai nodded helplessly: "Liu Xueyao's grandmother was so grieved by the death of Old Lady San that she moved away from their original home on the day of her passing. However, they were still found by Old Master. Liu Qing, Liu Xueyao's father, has a good business mind, but he is also the one who gets along least with Old Master. Although he was brought to Jinghai, he hardly spoke to Old Master and has since established his own company, which although small in scale, has great prospects. Liu Qing has two children: Liu Xueyao, who inherited her father's business talent, and Liu Fei, a young prodigy who is currently attending high school in Jinghai City."

  "It's indeed complicated enough." Yang Yu smiled and then asked: "Director Zhao didn't come to tell me this, did he?"

  Zhao Donglai sighed upon hearing this: "Indeed it's not. Actually, the real reason I came to find you today is that I hope you can protect Xue Yao."

  "Protect Xue Yao, why?" Yang Yu looked at Zhao Donglai.

  "Yu Zeming!" Zhao Donglai spat out these three words, his face also carrying a hint of hatred, as if the two had some deep-seated grudge.

  "Director Zhao won't tell us in detail?" Yang Yu asked directly, he felt that Zhao Donglai must know something.

  "Yu Zeming was someone Lao Yezi met six years ago when he went to Myanmar to gamble on jade. At the time, Yu Zeming was working in the border area to suppress drug trafficking. It was there that Lao Yezi was kidnapped by a group of drug dealers. According to what I heard, Yu Zeming risked being shot and crossed the border to rescue Lao Yezi. That's why Lao Yezi has always been grateful to him. But because of this incident, Yu Zeming was expelled from his unit. Later on, Lao Yezi helped him get into Guangtian Technology Group." said Zhao Donglai.

  "Even if he saved the old man's life, it shouldn't be to the point where the old man spoils him so much?" Yang Yu found it somewhat strange.

  "Alas, that's because Yu Zeming resembles the old master's deceased son. Zhao Dong sighed and said, 'Moreover, Yu Zeming concealed himself very well in front of the old master, and considering his gratitude for the old master's lifesaving grace, it's not surprising after all.'"

  "It turned out to be like this." Yang Yu finally figured out what was going on here.

  "Yu Zeming is a wolf in sheep's clothing, I won't mention what he did in the company, but Xueyao told me about what happened two days ago. Based on my speculation, he will continue to harm Xueyao, especially on her birthday party day. So I hope you can protect Xueyao, for her sake and for your own." Zhao Dong said with his last breath.

  "Alright, I understand." Yang Yu nodded, and even if Zhao Dong didn't say it, he would still go to great lengths to protect Liu Xueyao.

  As he left the personnel department, Yang Yu's mind was also constantly planning. Since he had accepted the task of killing Yu Zeming within seven days, it was impossible for Yu Zeming to live beyond eight days, and Liu Xuejiao's birthday party was also within seven days.

  "Let's execute Yu Zeming on that day!" Yang Yu made up his mind and then returned to the Information Department.
