Chapter 203: Shen Xun Sees the Lawyer

What is the relationship between Gu Yinxue and Shen Xun?

Oh, Gu Yinxue's brother Gu Zhiyan is Lin Shutong's lapdog, and Lin Shutong is pregnant with Shen Xun's child.

But what does that have to do with the Fuli Yuan?

Fu Youqing wrote down the name and address of the Fuli Yuan, then called to ask the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility department) person what was going on.

The CSR person replied, "This Fuli Yuan in G Province was initially privately donated by Star Universe Technology President Shen, and after we mentioned it to headquarters, we, together with the Administration and Public Relations departments, conducted a review and selection. Everything that met the regulations was placed on the whitelist; each year we randomly draw from the whitelist. This isn't the only welfare institute that has been selected repeatedly; the details…"

The voice on the other end paused, "Maybe you need to ask President Shen."

Ask Shen Xun?

Fu Youqing is only a Brand Manager, and in official business she has no standing to question a company president's actions.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"No problem, Brand Manager Fu, everything is legal, compliant, open and transparent, and can be verified."

"That's good." Fu Youqing hung up, thought for a moment, then called her brother, "Fu Youlin, you're at Star Universe Technology; do you know that Shen Xun personally donates to a Fuli Yuan in G Province every year?"

"Fuli Yuan?"

"Right, do you know?"

"I'm not too sure, but Jiang Lai grew up in the Fuli Yuan; I learned that from her interview." Regarding Jiang Lai, Fu Youlin asked further, "Did something happen?"

Fu Youqing suddenly understood.

Gu Yinxue might not be acting for her brother and Lin Shutong, but for herself.

The Gu family's friendship with Ms. Nian runs deep, and Gu Yinxue is considered one of Ke Zhongyu's reserve marriage candidates.

Jiang Lai and Ke Zhongyu again verbally confirmed at the Chi Family Medical Clinic that they are together.

"Youlin, tell your goddess that Gu Yinxue has traced the Fuli Yuan where Jiang Lai is from."

Come to think of it, Fu Youqing feels quite sorry for Jiang Lai; it was bad enough that Shen Xun deceived her, and now the Fu family is pressuring Shen Xun to find a way to stop Jiang Lai from making public that they have already divorced.

Jiang Lai's plan to sue to recover their marital joint assets is also troublesome, yet why is there no sign of movement? Or has Shen Xun already reached an agreement with Jiang Lai?

Regardless of whether there's any activity or any agreement, the Fu Family and Star Universe Technology have already prepared.

If Shen Xun's private matters don't blow up and the Si Nuo project is secured, he can continue as President Shen; otherwise, he'll be kicked out of Star Universe Technology.

……

Shen Xun's phone vibrated once, and his secondary line secretly received a message from Fu Youlin to Jiang Lai.

Gu Yinxue traced the Fuli Yuan where Jiang Lai grew up?

Gu Yinxue?

Surname Gu?

Shen Xun replied in Jiang Lai's tone: 【Who is Gu Yinxue?】

Fu Youlin was startled: 【Did you forget? That day we were at the private restaurant, the one standing next to Gu Zhiyan—Gu Yinxue is Gu Zhiyan's sister.】

【Gu Yinxue is one of Ke Zhongyu's reserve marriage candidates; she likes Ke Zhongyu.】

【Jiang Lai, you should be careful with Gu Yinxue; don't be fooled by her small stature and seemingly easygoing nature—she grew up in the Gu family.】

Shen Xun replied with three words: 【Got it】.

Very cold.

Shen Xun took a while to realize why Gu Yinxue, who likes Ke Zhongyu, was investigating Jiang Lai's background.

That day at the Chi Family Medical Clinic, Ke Zhongyu said Jiang Lai was his girlfriend, and Jiang Lai verbally confirmed.

Is Jiang Lai really together with Ke Zhongyu?

Shen Xun thought it was just a hot‑air remark.

Looking at Gu Yinxue's current maneuver, how far have Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai progressed?

Meeting the parents?

Just divorced him and already meeting the parents?

Shen Xun felt a flash of anger, then was overwhelmed by a wave of anxiety.

The stomach he had barely recovered in recent days started hurting again.

Shen Xun pondered briefly and did not relay Fu Youlin's words to Jiang Lai.

Deep down, he also hoped Gu Yinxue would break up Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai.

That way, Jiang Lai would still be his.

Shen Xun was about to put his phone away when Qiao Chuan called: "President Shen, the people from Si Nuo want to invite you to dinner tomorrow night, but they have a request."

Shen Xun felt a sudden thump in his chest.

"What?"

"We hope you'll bring your wife along." Qiao Chuan said cautiously; he never imagined that after his trip to G Province, President Shen would be divorced.

Because he personally drove President Shen to the civil affairs bureau to check the marital status, and while standing nearby he heard the staff say President Shen was now a divorced single, he was petrified on the spot.

Even if the wife really wants a divorce, there's a one‑month cooling‑off period, right?

He was on a business trip for only a few days; when he returned, President Shen had already divorced his wife, and the divorce was finalized.

So he's still a bit dazed these past days.

Thinking carefully, the wife's divorce had shown signs long ago—first she moved all her belongings out cleanly, but President Shen didn't notice, and he didn't dare bring up the likely divorce to President Shen.

The wife really keeps big matters hidden.

Qiao Chuan felt a chill just thinking about it; he isn't afraid of a big fight, but fears a quiet departure, which always carries a resolute finality.

Just at this critical moment, Mr. Suo Lun, a partner of Si Nuo, sent President Shen another invitation, hoping President Shen would bring his wife to the engagement.

The wife is already President Shen's ex‑wife; how could he go?

If he doesn't bring her, and the partner learns of the divorce, what will they think?

They would think that Star Universe Technology should first use Jiang Lai to secure the cooperation, having acted in bad faith first, in which case they could perfectly well tear up the contract.

The only downside to Sino tearing up the contract would be compensation, and it wouldn't even damage their reputation, because it was their President Shen of Star Universe Technology whose reputation was already bad to begin with.

Soren and the others could afford to tear up the contract; President Shen could not.

If the cooperation fell through, President Shen's career and future would end right there.

Qiao Chuan quietly waited for President Shen on the other end to reply.

After a long while, Shen Xun said, "I'm going to the company now."

"Understood, President Shen." Qiao Chuan hung up the phone. The phone on his desk rang, and he answered it — it was the administrative front desk.

"Assistant Qiao, President Shen hasn't come to the company lately due to matters, and you only returned to work the day before yesterday. There are three packages for President Shen here that I haven't had time to tell you about — it's already been six days. One of them is an EMS document. Should I send it up now?"

Qiao Chuan: "Send it up."

Over ten minutes later, someone from the front desk brought up two parcel boxes and an EMS document, placed them in front of Qiao Chuan, and then left.

Qiao Chuan opened the EMS document first.

Inside was another plain white envelope with no writing on it — quite a roundabout way to deliver a document.

The envelope was sealed — could it contain confidential content?

Qiao Chuan didn't dare open it either. It wasn't until Shen Xun walked into the office that he handed over the blank envelope.

"President Shen, it was sent inside an EMS document pouch. The waybill on the outside doesn't specify what document it is. Could it be a letter?"

Shen Xun pinched the thin envelope, also puzzled for a moment: "A letter? Who would send me a letter."

He opened it as he spoke.

Upon opening it, the letterhead prominently read:

Attorney's Letter
