Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 402 Even if it's unrelated, I won't believe it.

The next morning, Yan Zuozuo was awakened by a rapid phone ring before she was fully awake. She groggily pulled out her phone, squinted at it, and asked, "Keren, what's up so early?"

"Zuo Zuo, quickly check today's newspaper. If you can't find it, search online for the headline news!"

Hearing Cai Keren's anxious voice, Yan Zuozuo was completely bewildered. Before even going out to get the newspaper, she opened a webpage on her phone, and in an instant, she was stunned!

Two women vie for one man, and one of the beauties storms out of a bar in a fit of rage!

Yan Zuozuo quickly glanced at the content, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. This only happened last night, how did it make the news so quickly, and even the headline!

This speed... it can't be ruled out that someone deliberately leaked it, but who could it be?

Judy and Yi Fanxi are impossible, and she didn't leak it, so that leaves Yao Ziqian, Qin Yun, and... Fisher? Logically speaking, Qin Yun is the most likely. Complete destruction after a failed romance is very much in line with her character. As for Yao Ziqian and Fisher, they are both respectable people who need to consider their image, so naturally they wouldn't use them as a selling point for publicity.

She frowned, thought for a moment, and then called Fisher, "President... no, Fisher, have you seen today's news?"

"I saw it; what happened last night is on the front page."

What's your opinion on this?

"I've asked these magazines, and they said someone sent a video to their email. There were so many people at the bar last night, it might be difficult to investigate."

Yan Zuozuo frowned even more: "Fischer, do you think it's possible that it could be Qin Yun?"

Fisher pondered for a moment: "Qin Yun called me this morning, very agitated, saying that you deliberately leaked it. Knowing her as I do, she probably only just found out about it herself."

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes. If Qin Yun wasn't behind this, then it couldn't possibly be any of them. In other words, someone else sent the video to the newspaper. But the question was, what was that person's motive? Since it was sent anonymously, it certainly wasn't for money. Remembering Chi Moqing's phone call last night, could someone else be trying to sabotage things behind the scenes?

After hanging up with Yan Zuozuo, Fisher's face darkened, and he quickly dialed another number, directly questioning, "Did you do what was in the newspaper?"

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled dismissively: "Director Fisher, you underestimate me. What good would something as low-class as this do me?"

Fisher pursed his lips, then realized he had a point. He took a deep breath and said, "I was overthinking it. But remember our agreement: you absolutely cannot do anything to harm Yan Zuozuo, or you will bear the consequences!"

"Hahaha!" Another eerie laugh came from the other end of the phone. "Director Fisher is quite the romantic. Don't worry, we made a prior agreement, and I will absolutely not make a move on Yan Zuozuo. But speaking of which, Director Fisher is quite the ladies' man; both of them are stunning beauties."

Fisher snorted and immediately ended the call.

This incident not only caused quite a stir at Fan Hua Design, but also stirred up controversy for charitable organizations.

In Chi Xuecan's office, Yan Zuozuo and Yao Ziqian were called in, along with Meng Yuanfei. Chi Xuecan slammed the newspaper onto the table. "Ziqian, what's going on?"

Yao Ziqian glanced at the entertainment newspaper, shrugged, and said, "I don't know either. I went to a bar with my assistant Yan last night for a couple of drinks. I didn't expect to be photographed like this."

Chi Xuecan's face darkened: "Is this something that can be taken lightly? Do you even know your own identity?!"

“I admit I was wrong, but I’m single now and I have the right to have a girlfriend. Here she is, my new girlfriend. I just never expected something like this to happen.”

Chi Xuecan stared at Yao Ziqian for a while before speaking, "Ziqian, I know you like to have fun, that's your private life. As long as it doesn't damage the organization's image and interests, I won't interfere. But now you're on the front page, your face has been clearly photographed. Who are you? The head of a charity, the branch president. Now that this has happened, how are outsiders supposed to view our charity? Will anyone still believe in us?"

Yao Ziqian nodded, but said rather insincerely, "President Chi is right, I will pay attention in the future."

Chi Xuecan took a sip of coffee, concealing the glint of shrewdness in her eyes, put down her cup, and turned to look at Yan Zuozuo. "Zuozuo, I know you are a kind and innocent child, but this society is not innocent. You should be careful not to fall into other people's traps in the future."

Upon hearing Chi Xuecan's words, Yao Ziqian clenched his fist at his side, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

"President, I understand. I was too careless this time. I will be more careful," Yan Zuozuo said, pursing her lips.

"Good to know." Chi Xuecan then looked at Meng Yuanfei, "Yuanfei, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Meng Yuanfei glanced at the newspaper unhurriedly and said leisurely, "This kind of thing, let alone us who are doing charity, would probably damage the company's image even if a regular company had this kind of thing. You should pay attention to the recent fundraising situation."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ziqian's expression changed drastically. "It's just that I accidentally made it into the newspaper. Is it really that serious?"

Meng Yuanfei raised an eyebrow: "There are precedents for this kind of thing. The Guo Meimei incident and the Red Cross are still fresh in our minds. Has Chairman Yao forgotten about it?"

"!!!" Yao Ziqian was speechless, and glared fiercely at Meng Yuanfei.

Chi Xuecan nodded: "Yuanfei is right, Ziqian. I heard that you haven't taken many vacations since you took office. Why not take this opportunity to go out and travel? Isn't this Miss Qin your girlfriend? Take her on a trip, cultivate your relationship, and also keep your playboy heart in check so you can focus on your work in the future."

Yao Ziqian was shocked. Chi Xuecan's words sounded considerate, but this vacation was not just a vacation. It was clearly an attempt to strip him of his power, to sideline him, and to drive him out of the charity step by step.

"President Chi, you know this is usually a busy time of year. I'm on vacation now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it all. I think I should..."

"Don't worry about work. You can hand things over with Zuo Zuo later, and then you can go on your vacation with peace of mind," Chi Xuecan said directly, leaving no room for argument.

Yao Ziqian looked at Chi Xuecan in disbelief, then glanced at Yan Zuozuo in astonishment. He was handing over all his work to this woman? This new woman!

No, this is just an excuse. The real purpose is probably to take away his power. Could it be that last night's news was orchestrated by Yan Zuozuo, and that it was all pre-arranged?

If that were the case, wouldn't he have fallen into a trap? The more Yao Ziqian thought about it, the more likely it seemed, his clenched fists bulging with veins. He had indeed underestimated Yan Zuozuo; on the surface, she was all smiles and gentle breezes, but in reality, she was a dagger hidden in her smile, each strike deadly!

Seeing that Yao Ziqian didn't speak, Chi Xuecan took it as a tacit agreement and turned to Yan Zuozuo, saying, "Go over and hand over your work to Chairman Yao later. If you don't understand anything, ask Yuanfei."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Yao Ziqian and saw that his face was gloomy. Without asking, she knew that he must hate her to death.

"President Chi, I've only been here a short time, and I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of handling such an important job. Besides, I'm still a newcomer, and people won't believe me if I say I'm not qualified..."

“That’s easy.” Chi Xuecan glanced at Meng Yuanfei. “Yuanfei, during the time Zuo Zuo takes over from Chairman Yao, you must do your best to assist her. If there’s anything you can’t handle, just tell me and I’ll take care of it.”

Meng Yuanfei glanced at Yao Ziqian with a half-smile and nodded, saying, "I understand, Chairman."

Hearing Meng Yuanfei agree, Yao Ziqian, though unwilling, had no choice but to accept his fate. He never imagined that after weathering so many storms over the years, he would be defeated by a mere young girl. He clenched his fist and said, "Then I'll go take care of my work and hand it over to Assistant Yan later. You two continue your conversation, I'll excuse myself." With that, he turned and left.

The door slammed shut, and it was clear that Yao Ziqian was extremely dissatisfied with the outcome. Yan Zuozuo glanced back and then said, "President Chi, isn't this result a bit too harsh on President Yao?"

Chi Xuecan gave her a meaningful look: "Zuozuo, do you still remember the personnel management I taught you? This result is already lenient. In the future, spend more time learning from Yuanfei; you'll benefit a lot. As for Chairman Yao's matter, don't overthink it. Although we're doing charity, it doesn't mean we have to be lenient in our personnel system, understand?"

Zuo Zuo silently noted it down.

……

In the bar, Yao Ziqian couldn't believe that after three years as president, he had lost so inexplicably. And to a mere young girl! He was furious, utterly furious!

He downed a large glass of strong liquor, his eyes filled with resentment. The phone rang at that moment; it was an unknown number. He didn't want to answer it at all and immediately hung up.

But the other person kept calling, as if they were having a contest of patience. He frowned and impatiently pressed the answer button. "Damn it, you'd better have something important to say!"

"What bad timing, it seems I've made this call at a very inopportune time. What's wrong, Chairman Yao? Is he in a bad mood?" A familiar low laugh came from the other end of the line.

But who is it?

Yao Ziqian couldn't remember for a moment, and asked rudely, "Who are you?"

"President Yao, you really have a bad memory. We just met last night, and you don't even remember me today?" A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone. It was indeed a very familiar voice… I'd seen that voice last night… Could it be…

"Fischer!" Yao Ziqian gritted his teeth, guessing the other party's identity, and suddenly felt an urge to kill. Why call now, to laugh at him? He hadn't forgotten that Yan Zuozuo was from Fan Hua Design, Fisher's subordinate, and might even be part of a trap they had set together!

“It’s an honor, thank you for remembering me, Chairman Yao,” Fisher said calmly.

Yao Ziqian slammed the blanket down on the table: "Director Fisher and Yan Zuozuo really work together seamlessly. If the two of you weren't related, no one would believe it!"

Fisher didn't refute, but simply raised an eyebrow: "President Yao doesn't think that last night's events were a trap we set beforehand, does he?"
