Chapter 142

However, these words also made Zhang Yuru feel a trace of chill, but she still remained silent, quietly observing all of this.

Feng Yuanyuan enjoyed the current atmosphere; she also identified with this feeling in her heart.

In her view, Zhang Yuru was just a lucky person, while she herself relied on real ability to have what she had today.

The banquet hall was spacious and bright; everyone had just stepped in, and no one noticed that someone was already seated at the main table.

When the topic turned to Zhang Yuru's ex-husband, Lin Yu, Situ Peng immediately became energetic and began to tease.

"Speaking of Zhang Yuru's useless ex-husband, Lin Yu, he is simply not a man; I really don't understand what Zhang Yuru saw in him back then."

He continued with great interest: "I still remember the way he carried a lunch box to deliver food to Zhang Yuru, especially that fawning look when he saw Zhang Yuru. Let me imitate it for you."

Only to see Situ Peng hunching his back, a exaggerated smile on his face, and saying in a strange voice: "Dear, today's dishes are all your favorites; you must finish them."

His performance drew a burst of laughter, with Feng Yuanyuan laughing the most heartily. Although Situ Peng's imitation was not very similar, Feng Yuanyuan felt very satisfied.

However, an angry voice suddenly interrupted their laughter, "Daring to insult Master Lin Yu like this, I think you don't want to mix in the Zhang Group anymore."

Facing this sudden challenge, Situ Peng didn't care at all and smiled in response, not turning around to check who it was.

"Lin Yu is a master? How ridiculous; I just say he is a fawning dog, a loser, a freeloader. I want to see how you make me unable to mix here."

When he finally turned around, he discovered that the person who came was actually Long Jianfei. Situ Peng instantly lost his confidence.

Before he could say an apology, Long Jianfei had already opened his mouth: "As a major shareholder of the Zhang Group, I don't think it should be difficult to fire him, right?"

It turned out that Lin Yu had once saved Long Jianfei and also exposed his wife's betrayal. Therefore, for Lin Yu, Long Jianfei felt grateful and would not allow anyone to slander him.

Hearing this, Situ Peng was scared pale; he had been working hard in the Zhang Group for many years and was in the rising period of his career; being fired might mean everything starting over, or even never being able to turn over again.

"Chairman Long, I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you, I was wrong! I was just speaking without thinking..." Saying this, he was about to slap himself, but was stopped by Feng Yuanyuan.

Long Jianfei intended to fire the senior management of the Zhang Group to protect Lin Yu, which made Feng Yuanyuan feel very dissatisfied. At the same time, she realized that speaking up for Situ Peng could win over people's hearts.

Thus, Feng Yuanyuan stood in front of Situ Peng and said: "Chairman Long, I am the actual manager of the Zhang Group; you'd better not fire employees across levels at will."

Situ Peng served as the business general manager of the Zhang Group, responsible for managing sales channels.

If firing him leads to a decline in the performance of the Yazhi Group, can you bear such consequences? Moreover, what Situ Peng said is the truth; President Zhang's ex-husband, Lin Yu, really has no achievements.

As soon as these words were spoken, the senior executives of the Zhang Group all straightened their backs; they didn't expect Feng Yuanyuan to challenge him so firmly, and this support moved them deeply. And Long Jianfei didn't expect Feng Yuanyuan to dare to challenge him head-on.

However, because there were unspeakable secrets in the process of Longsi Capital acquiring the Zhang Group, he did not dare to easily conflict with Feng Yuanyuan at this time.

However, since the words were already spoken, he was unwilling to let go of anyone who was disrespectful to Master Lin; if he backed down now, he would lose face.

Just as Long Jianfei was caught in a dilemma, the Hu brothers of Tianrun Wanjia walked over.

Hu Zhiping said angrily: "I just heard someone speaking rudely to Master Lin; if the Zhang Group doesn't replace the business general manager, we will terminate the cooperation between all our stores and the Zhang Group."

Hu Mingpeng looked at everyone coldly and said in a deep voice: "I agree with my brother's point of view; I hope to get President Feng's handling plan for this matter before the end of the banquet."

Feng Yuanyuan was very surprised; she didn't expect the Hu brothers to threaten to break off cooperation with the Zhang Group for Lin Yu's sake.

But she was not afraid; after all, the cooperation with Tianrun Wanjia had just begun, and even if it really ended, it would have little impact on the Zhang Group.

Just at this moment, the president of the Sanxin Group, Zhao Baitong, also joined in, announcing that the Sanxin chain supermarkets would stop selling all cosmetics of the Zhang Group starting next month.

These words made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense.

One must know that the reason the Zhang Group could have today's achievements was largely due to the support of the Sanxin chain supermarkets, and currently, more than half of its sales still came from there.

Zhao Baitong's decision was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Zhang Group.

Feng Yuanyuan's expression finally changed, "President Zhao, please don't make such jokes; we have cooperated for many years and have always been mutually beneficial."

Zhao Baitong, however, answered mercilessly: "Don't try to get close to me; to tell the truth, the reason I agreed to cooperate back then was because of Lin Yu.

Even if Lin Yu and Zhang Yuru divorced later, it was he who requested me not to interrupt the cooperation. Now that Zhang Yuru is no longer in the Zhang Group, our cooperation should naturally come to an end."

Facing the sudden change, Feng Yuanyuan felt very confused, because it was she and Zhang Yuru who had fought for this cooperation opportunity together.

And Zhang Yuru, who was sitting in the VIP seat at this moment, was also shocked by Zhao Baitong's words.

Finally, Feng Yuanyuan had to bow her head and plead: "President Zhao, how could our cooperation be related to that useless person Lin Yu!"

At this time, Zhao Yuan'er stood up; although she was provoked by Han Feifei during the day, she did not vent her anger on Lin Yu, but instead felt angry that Han Feifei had snatched Lin Yu away.

Only to hear Zhao Yuan'er say proudly: "Of course Brother Lin Yu is worthy of knowing President Zhao, because he is about to become my fiancé."

"At the last financing banquet of the Zhang Group, I gave you enough face and didn't expose your lies. But today you are bringing up old matters again; do you think everyone is a fool?" Feng Yuanyuan responded coldly.

She didn't believe Zhao Yuan'er's words at all.

After all, how could the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in the provincial capital be engaged to a nobody like Lin Yu?

However, when Zhang Yuru heard these words, she knew it was true, because she had heard it mentioned by the Zhao family's old master, Zhao Taiheng, with her own ears.

Just at this moment, Zhao Baitong stood up and said firmly: "Who said this is not true? My sister is indeed engaged to Lin Yu; not only can I testify to this point, but even my grandfather cannot deny it."

The banquet hall instantly became silent; everyone was shocked by Zhao Baitong's words.

Originally, everyone might have just taken Zhao Yuan'er's words as the momentary confusion of a wealthy daughter, but now that Zhao Baitong had personally confirmed this matter, they had to believe it.

At this moment, Feng Yuanyuan realized that the problem was far more than whether to protect Situ Peng; she worried whether the Long family would be unfavorable to her because of this.

Before this, Feng Yuanyuan had never thought about Zhang Yuru's importance to the Zhang Group, but now she clearly realized that if Zhang Yuru hadn't married Lin Yu, the Zhang Group might not have been able to develop to its current scale at all.
