Chapter 41: 41. Threat (To avoid being called a cliffhanger-dog, three updates today)
Zhao Jingyu also noticed that the expressions of the two women were not right, but before she could size up the newcomers, a somewhat surprised greeting came from across the way.
"Assistant Zhao?"
Upon hearing the voice and turning her head to see who it was, Zhao Jingyu instantly knew who one of them was.
"Hello, Miss Tian." Zhao Jingyu said with a proper, polite smile.
She recognized this Miss Tian; she was the daughter of the boss of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, and they had some business cooperation with Kangshilan Company.
However, she did not recognize the refined-looking man that Tian Ya was holding onto.
Although Qian Li could see that Tian Ya and Zhao Jingyu knew each other, she still subconsciously shouted angrily: "How do you two shameless dogs have the face to come here?"
She was truly furious; Zhang Siyan and Sun Gaixin were not yet divorced, yet these two had actually come here so brazenly.
Sun Gaixin could not keep his face straight, and Tian Ya cursed directly: "You little bitch, how are you talking? Do you believe I'll have your mouth torn apart?"
Qian Li was about to strike back on the spot, but Zhang Siyan pulled on Qian Li's sleeve, telling her not to be impulsive; Zhao Jingyu's arrival this time was a massive opportunity for them, and it could not be ruined because of her affairs.
"Assistant Zhao, I'm sorry, we encountered some family matters and let you see a joke." Zhang Siyan said to Zhao Jingyu with a forced smile.
Zhao Jingyu's eyes flickered, and she smiled, saying: "It's fine, Miss Zhang can handle your matters first, I'll just wait on the side for a while."
Although Huo Zhiyuan had investigated some information on Zhang Siyan and Zhang Sicheng, it was not much; it was only content regarding their work, and there was very little about their family life—at the very least, it was not in the data Zhao Jingyu had seen.
Zhang Siyan could not be bothered to think about why Zhao Jingyu was so easygoing right now; she only wanted to quickly dismiss the two people in front of her whom she found extremely disgusting.
"Sun Gaixin, Tian Ya, whatever matters you have, talk about them tonight; we are busy here right now." Zhang Siyan said, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Before Sun Gaixin could speak, Tian Ya spoke up directly: "Senior Sister Siyan, exactly how much money do you want? Just name a number, don't drag this out; it's not good for anyone.
You should stop thinking about other things too; Gaixin has long since had no feelings for you, and if you keep dragging this out, you will only embarrass yourself."
"Heh, that a mistress could be as shameless as you is truly a great wonder of the world." Qian Li finally could not hold back and spoke up to mock her again.
Upon hearing this, Tian Ya was immediately about to curse in anger, but she was interrupted by Zhang Siyan.
"Tian Ya, I only want child support for Susu; this is a responsibility Sun Gaixin must bear, and this money must also come from him personally." Zhang Siyan said with a firm tone.
Tian Ya was also getting annoyed; she was annoyed that Zhang Siyan did not know what was good for her, and she was also annoyed at her future parents-in-law for being so stingy.
However, she had been able to force Zhang Siyan away so smoothly and snatch back the man she loved most because Sun Gaixin's parents had also helped a great deal.
Therefore, Tian Ya could not say much to Sun Gaixin's parents.
"Zhang Siyan, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. One million, a one-time buyout; from now on, don't come looking for Gaixin, and don't use this to disturb our lives anymore." Tian Ya said impatiently.
When mentioning money, Tian Ya's tone was full of condescension; in her view, Zhang Siyan was ultimately just doing this for money.
Sun Gaixin had not said a word the whole time, and the look in his eyes when he glanced at Zhang Siyan was very cold; although he still had some feelings for Zhang Siyan, those feelings had long since appeared fragile in the face of career and money.
Otherwise, he would not have struck Zhang Siyan in order to get a divorce.
He also really did not want to drag this out; if it were not for his parents' firm demands, he would have already agreed to Zhang Siyan's request, and now it was perfect to leave the matter to Tian Ya to handle.
"Also, don't forget, if we really wanted to, your precious daughter might not necessarily be given to you for custody; believe me, as long as I am willing, the court will absolutely rule in our favor, and by then... hehehe." As she spoke, Tian Ya laughed with malicious intent.
At this, Zhang Siyan truly panicked; Susu was her lifeline now, and Tian Ya had seized that lifeline.
Qian Li was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she was about to rush out to hit someone on the spot.
But before she could rush out, Tian Ya over there issued an ultimatum: "I'll give you three days to think it over. Three days from now, forget about one million—you won't even get ten thousand. Don't end up losing custody of your daughter because of your greed."
After finishing, Tian Ya prepared to leave, then saw Zhao Jingyu, who had been waiting outside the door, and said with a smile: "Is Assistant Zhao here to inspect the store's situation?"
Zhao Jingyu had actually heard the matter clearly at the door; just from this dialogue, she was enough to figure out exactly what had happened here.
Therefore, at this moment, when facing Tian Ya, she did not even have the professional smile she had just now.
Zhao Jingyu looked at Tian Ya and said indifferently: "It is not. It is some internal company business, so there is no need to trouble Miss Tian with concern."
At this point, how could she possibly show any more courtesy? Leaving a good impression in front of the Big Boss of the future was what really mattered.
Tian Ya did not expect Zhao Jingyu to be so disrespectful, not even saying a word of polite social pleasantries, and her face immediately could not hold its composure.
But she could not do anything about Zhao Jingyu; although she was a second-generation rich kid, Zhao Jingyu's status in Kangshilan Company was not low.
However, Tian Ya still forced a smile: "So that's how it is. By the way, Assistant Zhao, does Huo Yi have any time recently? I would like to see Huo Yi."
She was trying to use Huo Zhiyuan to pressure Zhao Jingyu, wanting her to know that she was just an employee, while she, Tian Ya, had a different relationship with her boss.
Of course, she really did want to see Huo Zhiyuan this time, not to speak ill of Zhao Jingyu, but for one of the purposes of her coming to Shanghai this time.
But she was disappointed again; Zhao Jingyu's tone was very flat: "I'm sorry, President Huo is a bit busy recently. If Miss Tian wants to see President Huo, you can make an appointment in advance."
At this, Tian Ya almost could not help but explode; she was not a deep-thinking person to begin with, and Zhao Jingyu's repeated lack of respect made her unable to stand it.
However, Sun Gaixin on the side stopped her in time and said to Zhao Jingyu with a smile: "If President Huo is very busy, can Assistant Zhao help us schedule a time?"
Zhao Jingyu looked at Sun Gaixin, her eyes somewhat strange, but she still had to answer what needed to be answered: "Very well, I will ask President Huo. When President Huo has time, I will notify the two of you then."
These few sentences from Zhao Jingyu instantly destroyed the intimate relationship with Huo Zhiyuan that Tian Ya had just fabricated, as if Huo Zhiyuan did not know Tian Ya at all.
Tian Ya really could not stand such cold treatment, and at the same time, she knew it was not good to lose her temper with Zhao Jingyu, so she quickly took Sun Gaixin and left directly.
However, Sun Gaixin felt a bit strange in his heart; he always felt that the look Zhao Jingyu gave him just now was somewhat pitying?
