Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 427 It's actually this kind of relationship.

Seeing the expression on Yao Ziqian's face, Yan Zuozuo felt a surge of satisfaction. This was the man who had caused Cancan to fall into a coma and was still lying in the hospital. Whether it was embezzling public funds or harming Cancan, she wouldn't let him get away with it!

"Mr. Yao, are you still going to play the video? I can explain to everyone in detail the tampered video you have. However..." Yan Zuozuo smiled at Yao Ziqian, "I'm very curious, how did Mr. Yao get this video, and more importantly, how did someone tamper with it?"

Yao Ziqian's breath hitched. Yan Zuozuo's words clearly told everyone that he had tampered with the video. If that were the case, it meant that he was involved in Chi Xuecan's affair. And Chi Xuecan had leverage over him, with both the reason and the motive being perfectly valid!

Yao Ziqian clenched his fist and laughed, "There are rumors that your assistant is incredibly capable. Not only did you drive away General Chi's first love, but you also sent General Chi's aunt and cousin to prison. Now it seems that Assistant Yan is indeed living up to his reputation."

"Mr. Yao, are you planning to stir up trouble even when you're being unreasonable?" Yan Zuozuo narrowed her eyes. "Whether it's what happened back then or what happened with my aunt and cousin, I believe the reporters have already done detailed reports. Mr. Yao, I'm very curious about your true intentions in stirring up trouble on this issue."

"What are my intentions? I just don't agree to a vicious woman like you sitting in the position of president!" Yao Ziqian said directly, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Yan Zuozuo.

Finally, he's taken off that fake smile?

Yan Zuozuo's lips curled slightly: "First of all, as a former president who was kicked out of the charity by headquarters, you have no right to question this matter; secondly, if we're talking about being malicious, shouldn't Mr. Yao wait until the police have cleared up the evidence of your crimes before accusing others? Finally, I, Yan Zuozuo, believe that I have a clear conscience and dare to swear to God, but Mr. Yao is so upright, do you dare to do the same?"

Although Yao Ziqian had committed many evil deeds, he was a believer in karma and retribution. It was precisely because Yan Zuozuo understood this that she spoke so ruthlessly. This made Yao Ziqian's heart tremble, and he remained silent.

Yan Zuozuo ignored him and looked at everyone present, finally fixing her gaze on Meng Yuanfei. "Manager Meng, do you support me taking the position of chairman?"

Meng Yuanfei looked directly at her and finally said, "As long as you can get the consent of the two vice presidents, I will support you."

Within the entire charity, besides the president, only the two vice presidents have veto power. Next are the treasurer, project manager, publicity manager, supervisory board, and secretary-general.

The finance department, as an important department that controls finances, was handed over to Yan Zuozuo when Chi Xuecan was still in charge. As for the supervisory committee and the project department, they are managed by Meng Yuanfei. It is obvious that he is on Yan Zuozuo's side.

However, being a cunning old fox, he naturally wouldn't express his opinion directly, but instead pushed others out, thus avoiding offending either side.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and turned to look at the two vice presidents. Before she could speak, Secretary-General Wu Xiaoran, who had been silent until now, said in surprise, "I support Assistant Yan."

All eyes turned to Wu Xiaoran. As the secretary-general, it was undoubtedly the most unwise thing for her to speak at this time, because the two sides had not yet decided the winner. If she chose the wrong side at this time, wouldn't she be walking on a dead end?

Wu Xiaoran is a smart person, and she shouldn't be so confused this time. What happened to her?

Clearly, Wu Xiaoran had no interest in explaining to these people; her most loyal follower was still Chi Xuecan. If Yan Zuozuo was Chi Xuecan's chosen one, regardless of the reason, she would fully support her.

Wang Ziliang's gaze towards Wu Xiaoran was filled with a strange expression, and his fist clenched slightly on his lap. He lowered his eyes, as if still struggling with his decision. As for the other vice president, she was someone Wang Ziliang had personally promoted, so naturally she would follow him. Therefore, all the choices now rested with Wang Ziliang.

Wang Ziliang's eyes were filled with conflict. Meeting Yan Zuozuo's gaze, he felt a headache coming on. Yan Zuozuo had the Chi family as her powerful backer. Regardless of her relationship with Chi's mother, it was clear that Chi Moqing cared about her. If he didn't support her, it would mean he was going against Chi Moqing, which would be the death of him.

However, Yao Ziqian has leverage over him, and judging from the current situation, it's no longer a matter of Yao Ziqian wanting to be the chairman; he can't be now either. His goal is a fight to the death; if he can't be chairman, then Yan Zuozuo shouldn't be either!

He glanced at Wu Xiaoran subconsciously and saw that she was also looking at him, her eyes sparkling with hope, as if she was expecting something.

"Vice President Wang..." Yan Zuozuo called out to him, "How about we take a break first and continue later?"

Wang Ziliang's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Yan Zuozuo and then at Yao Ziqian, pursed his lips and said, "I'm old and still the second-in-command. I haven't made any great contributions here. It's up to everyone here to vote. Your decision is my decision."

Yan Zuozuo knew this would happen; as the saying goes, it's wise to protect oneself. Even if she was sent by headquarters, if more than two-thirds of the senior management objected, she would have to step down.

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, walked to Wang Ziliang's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered three words, "Wu Xiaoran."

Wang Ziliang's expression changed drastically as he stared at Yan Zuozuo in disbelief.

Yan Zuozuo smiled confidently: "Vice President Wang, why don't you take a few minutes to think it over before making a decision? After all, this is a very important matter, and we need to consider it carefully."

"Well... okay... everyone's tired anyway..."

Seeing Wang Ziliang's guilty conscience and cold sweat, Yan Zuozuo nodded in satisfaction and got up to leave. Not long after, Wang Ziliang followed her into the office, which puzzled Yao Ziqian. He felt inexplicably uneasy; could this old man have ruined his important plans?

In the office, Yan Zuozuo didn't bother with beating around the bush and said directly, "Vice President Wang, we're all smart people, so let's not play games. I think my meaning is clear. As for what to do, Vice President Wang should know, right?"

Wang Ziliang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

Yan Zuozuo looked at him and couldn't help but think of her father, who had long since repented in prison. Like He Cangyuan, Wang Ziliang had abandoned his wife in his pursuit of wealth and status, running off with a rich young lady.

Unexpectedly, his wife had been pregnant all along, and for all these years, he hadn't dared to acknowledge her for the sake of his career. Even when his daughter appeared before him, he couldn't tell her the truth, knowing that his daughter likely already knew the truth and might even hate him as her father.

However, he dared not risk acknowledging her. If his shrewish wife found out, he feared his future would be bleak, and so would his daughter; who knew what heinous things that shrew might do. In truth, Wang Ziliang still had some conscience, knowing to protect his daughter.

And He Cangyuan...

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes, suppressing the sorrow in her heart. Although several years had passed, the pain was still so vivid.

Lost in his own thoughts, Wang Ziliang didn't notice Yan Zuozuo's change. He clenched his fist and then relaxed it, clenched it again and relaxed it again, and after several times, he finally let out a slow breath, "As long as Xiaoran is alright, I don't care..." His words were heavy, and he seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

Sure enough, Wu Xiaoran was luckier than her. Yan Zuozuo smiled wryly, but was happy for her.

"Vice President Wang, rest assured, as long as you make the right choice, I can not only guarantee that your daughter's affairs will not be exposed, but I can also help you smooth over all the things you have done over the years. In other words, as long as you repent and start anew, even if things are exposed, I can handle it for you."

After a pause, Yan Zuozuo added, "Of course, you don't have to believe me, but you should believe my husband, Chi Moqing, right? Besides, there's my god-sister and god-brother-in-law outside. Does Vice President Wang find my guarantee credible?"

If someone else had said this, Wang Ziliang might not have believed it. But since it was Yan Zuozuo who said it, and not only had Chi Moqing stood by her side all day, but even the Shang family's only beloved daughter and the dignified Third Young Master Ou had come, her guarantee was absolutely certain.

Moreover, the charity had become utterly corrupt under Yao Ziqian's leadership over the past three years. Perhaps a change in leadership could lead to a phoenix-like rebirth. And Yan Zuozuo was a perfect fit, not only because of the powerful forces behind her, but also because it was clear that Meng Yuanfei and Wu Xiaoran supported her.

Wang Ziliang never intended to be a bad person in his life. The only thing he regretted was abandoning his wife and daughter, a lifelong pain in his heart. If he could exchange his reputation for his daughter's forgiveness today, it would be worth it. Moreover, this was for the sake of domestic charity, for the millions of people in need of help—it was all worth it!

The meeting resumed shortly afterward, and all eyes turned to Wang Ziliang, especially Yao Ziqian, who couldn't wait to ask, "Vice President Wang, has a decision been made?"

Although Yao Ziqian was no longer with the charity, Yan Zuozuo didn't ask him to leave. She wanted him to see firsthand how she lost, to make him truly accept his defeat!

Wang Ziliang gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "I... trust Chairman Chi's judgment!"

With just one sentence, he completely shattered Yao Ziqian's crazy idea and propelled Yan Zuozuo to the position of president.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, some puzzled, some disapproving, but most breathed a sigh of relief and beamed with joy. They also felt that under Yan Zuozuo's leadership, the charity was finally able to operate normally and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Although the matter of Chairman Chi's murder is still unresolved, I believe in Chairman Chi's choice, I believe in Assistant Yan's character, and I believe that this matter will be clarified sooner or later. Besides, headquarters never appoints a chairman casually, and we should trust their considerations. Finally, I'll say it again: I support Assistant Yan taking the position of chairman."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but Yao Ziqian's reaction was the most obvious. He looked at Wang Ziliang in disbelief. In just a few minutes, what abilities did Yan Zuozuo have to subdue Wang Ziliang like that?!
