Chapter 120: The Yan Family of Fengling

"My father passed away unexpectedly, and my grandfather also passed away a few years ago. Aside from Uncle Huang, an orphan my grandfather saved when he was young, there is no one else in the family," Yan Roujin said. "But my grandfather did a favor for Li Xuanling, so he recognized me as his goddaughter, which counts as him protecting the Yan Family line."

"So that's how it is. Qingyan went public five years ago, primarily dealing in beauty products. Its market share has been decent over these years," Chen Yu nodded.

"Unfortunately, Qingyan is only prosperous on the surface," Yan Roujin shook her head.

"I can tell; there are internal troubles," Chen Yu nodded and said. "Is it Zhang Hai?"

"Yes. Three years ago, someone came to seize the Li Chen, so I took the Li Chen to another place. Qingyan has been under his control, and now the power has basically been hollowed out. You saw it too—three engineers resigned. If this continues, Qingyan will be eaten away from the inside."

"So Qingyan Health must be under your control?" Chen Yu nodded.

"Yes. I came today having already made a plan. If there are no accidents, Qingyan Health will start registration tomorrow and be established as soon as possible," Yan Roujin said. "You provide the formula and hold half the shares; the company will be registered in your name."

"That wouldn't be good, would it? I'm just writing a few formulas," Chen Yu gave a bitter smile.

"No, the product is very important. Besides, I have studied your formulas; the effects are excellent. As long as the product quality is grasped well and the public relations are done well, it will sell very explosively in the future," Yan Roujin smiled slightly.

"That's good. Are the few people who came from Tianyun doing okay?" Chen Yu asked.

"Quite well. They directly replaced the other few people," Yan Roujin laughed.

"Roujin, are you home?" Just at this moment, the doorbell rang. The monitor showed Zhang Hai.

"Zhang Hai?" Yan Roujin was slightly stunned. She pressed the button, and the gate opened automatically.

"Roujin, you..." Zhang Hai walked in hurriedly. Just as he opened his mouth, he discovered Chen Yu in the room. His expression instantly darkened: "Why is he here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Chen Yu retorted.

The muscles on Zhang Hai's face twitched, and then he turned back indignantly: "Roujin."

"I said, call me President Yan," Yan Roujin said. "If you have something to say, say it."

"Fine, President Yan." Zhang Hai suppressed the anger in his chest. He threw out a document and said: "Is Qingyan Health a new company? Why didn't I know about it?"

"This document is on my private server. Why do you have it?" Yan Roujin looked up and stared at Zhang Hai: "Why are you touching my private things?"

"I am concerned about you. You need to give me an explanation," Zhang Hai said.

"There is nothing to explain. Qingyan International was established through a partnership between me and President Chen," Yan Roujin stood up and said: "If you dare to interfere in my private affairs again, I will not be polite to you."

Zhang Hai stared fixedly at Yan Roujin. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said: "Roujin, we grew up together since we were children. Your parents treated me like their own, but why is our relationship becoming more and more distant now?"

"We are talking about work now. If there is nothing else, you should go back," Yan Roujin frowned.

"When they were here, they intended for me to marry you."

Zhang Hai finally spat out the turbid air in his chest: "Over these years, I have also been working hard—working hard to run the company well, working hard to make you like me. But why is it that our many years of affection cannot compare to a piece of trash like him?"

Zhang Hai pointed at Chen Yu and said angrily: "I have checked his background. He has a wife, and he just eats, drinks, and plays without doing any proper work. What is good about such a piece of trash? Why do you value him so much?"

"Zhang Hai, shut up," Yan Roujin furrowed her brows: "In the future, you are not allowed to say any bad things about Chen Yu. I can also tell you clearly: there is no possibility between you and me."

"Is there really no room for redemption at all?" Zhang Hai's expression gradually turned cold.

"Not at all," Yan Roujin said coldly.

"Fine. Since that's the case, there is no need for me to be polite to you either," a cold, sinister smile appeared on Zhang Hai's face: "Qingyan will be mine in the future. From now on, you will have nothing to do with this company."

"Zhang Hai, have you lost your mind?" Yan Roujin glanced at him: "I can take back the dry shares you have in Qingyan at any time. You must remember your status; you are only a manager."

"Heh, I'm only a manager? Can you not see how I've poured my heart and soul into the company all these years? Without me, there would be no Qingyan as it is today," Zhang Hai sneered: "This is what I deserve."

"If it weren't for my parents twenty years ago, you might have had your hands and feet chopped off by human traffickers to go begging," Yan Roujin said coldly: "So don't talk about how much you've contributed to the company. You have contributed a lot to the company, and I have never treated you unfairly."

"Heh, but that's not what I want," Zhang Hai's face became ferocious: "What I want is you, and Qingyan."

"You must be crazy," Yan Roujin glanced at Zhang Hai coldly.

"I know you won't agree, but don't you feel light-headed and weak right now?" Zhang Hai laughed.

"You..." Yan Roujin's brows furrowed. She stood up abruptly, but her legs went soft, and she collapsed back into the chair.

"You poisoned it?" Yan Roujin was startled. She glanced at the purple clay teapot used for brewing tea and understood instantly. Aside from drinking a few sips of tea just now, she hadn't touched anything else.

"Heh, that's right. I know your habits; you brew a pot of tea every dusk. I found an expert and got some medicine to put in the tea leaves. This kind of poison is colorless and odorless. After consuming it, you'll feel light-headed and weak, ready to be manipulated," Zhang Hai laughed loudly. He glanced at Chen Yu, then walked toward Yan Roujin.

"Don't come over. Chen Yu, are you okay?" Yan Roujin looked back at Chen Yu.

"I'm fine," Chen Yu shook his head.

"Haha, fine?" Zhang Hai sneered: "Don't keep pretending to be calm. This medicine could make a cow collapse and be unable to get up. I increased the dosage; it's impossible for you to be fine."

"Yan Roujin, originally I could have used some aphrodisiac to make you throw yourself into my arms, but I didn't do that because I want to play with you while you are in a clear state, and do you right in front of this bastard Chen Yu," Zhang Hai's face was ferocious as he took a step forward.

"Why do you have to do it in front of me?" Chen Yu was a bit speechless.

"Shut up! If it weren't for you, Roujin wouldn't be like this toward me," Zhang Hai said angrily: "I'll torture you bit by bit in a moment and let you die in pain."

"Believe me, even without me, she wouldn't like you," Chen Yu said earnestly.

"Bullshit! We were childhood sweethearts, and her parents both intended for her to marry me. How could she not like me?" Zhang Hai roared.

"I really don't want to bring you down," Chen Yu said helplessly: "But the fact is just like this: she just won't like you. You have a dark heart and are very scheming. I believe no girl would like someone like you."

"Shut up! Shut up! If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you," Zhang Hai was furious. He turned around abruptly and reached out to grab Yan Roujin: "You and Qingyan are both mine."
