Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 403 Young Master Ou is in trouble

"Isn't that right? I never expected that a renowned international design master would resort to such underhanded tactics. It's truly despicable!"

"Hehe." Fisher chuckled lightly. "I think Chairman Yao has really misunderstood me. I'm also investigating what happened last night. We're all people with dignity, and letting this kind of thing come out would only do me harm, so why would I tarnish my own reputation?"

"Director Fisher is quite the talker; I can't argue with you. But the employees Director Fisher has trained are truly impressive; I admire them!" Yao Ziqian sneered, speaking with no small amount of sarcasm.

Fisher's lips curled slightly; he could guess that Yao Ziqian had been stripped of power and was in a bad mood. He didn't mind Yao saying that, "It seems that Chairman Yao has a deep misunderstanding about me. How about we arrange a time to meet up?"

"No interest!" Yao Ziqian refused without even thinking. "Yan Zuozuo is your person, we have nothing to say to each other."

"President Yao, please don't refuse so readily. If I said it was for your future, would you be interested?"

“My future is none of Director Fisher’s concern. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.” With that, Yao Ziqian was about to hang up when Fisher’s unhurried, deep voice came from the other end of the line, “What if it’s about the position of president of a charity?”

Yao Ziqian paused, his expression complex. "What do you mean by that?"

“It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. If Chairman Yao really wants to know, let’s meet at the Presidential Suite of the Arc de Triomphe Hotel at 8 p.m. tonight.” With that, Fisher hung up.

Yao Ziqian stared at the disconnected call with a strange expression. Rumors circulated that this Fisher had an extraordinary background, but almost no one knew his true identity. However, regardless of his true identity, since he was connected to Yan Zuozuo and the charity, he wanted to see what he was really up to!

At 8 p.m., Fisher was already waiting in the presidential suite of the Arc de Triomphe Hotel with a glass of red wine. When Yao Ziqian entered, Fisher raised an eyebrow and handed him a glass of red wine directly.

Yao Ziqian had little patience, and besides, he wasn't clear about Fisher's purpose in summoning him. He took the red wine, downed it in one gulp, and said, "Just say what you have to say."

"President Yao is a very straightforward person." Fisher nodded and took a sip of red wine.

Yao Ziqian glanced at him and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Now that I'm here, Director Fisher, just say what you have to say."

Fisher glanced at Yao Ziqian and poured him another glass of red wine. "President Yao worked in the domestic branch for seven years before finally becoming president three years ago. Am I right?"

"Yes."

"Although Chairman Yao has some misunderstandings about me, it's just a misunderstanding. Let's put aside what happened before and come here today to discuss the deal."

Yao Ziqian narrowed his eyes and asked warily, "What kind of deal?"

Fisher took out a document and placed it in front of Yao Ziqian. "According to my understanding, when it comes to the position of president of a charity, in addition to the appointment by the headquarters, the relevant staff of the branch also have the right to vote. This is a list of relevant personnel from the domestic branch. If my information is correct, the support rate for President Yao is no more than 30%. If there is a re-election, President Yao has no chance of winning."

Fisher's words struck a nerve with Yao Ziqian. His hand holding the wine glass tightened suddenly, and he stared at Fisher suspiciously. "You investigated me?"

Fisher's lips curled up slightly. He didn't answer his question but continued, "Although Chi Xuecan seems carefree on the surface, the way she managed to gain a foothold in the Clausen family and become the new matriarch is due to her methods and intelligence, which are far beyond what ordinary people can match. It's clear that she's dissatisfied with you now. President Yao, it won't be so easy for you to maintain your position in the branch, will it?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"This is what we're going to talk about today. I can help you secure your position as president, but you also need to do something for me. Once it's done, I guarantee your position as president will be as secure as a mountain."

Yao Ziqian was in a state of confusion: "Why should I believe you?"

Fisher smiled but remained silent, then took out another document and placed it in front of Yao Ziqian. "This is an agreement I signed with Chairman Yao. To put everyone at ease, it's better to have a legal guarantee."

Yao Ziqian picked up the contract and glanced at it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Fisher in disbelief. "How did you know all this?"

Fisher smiled and said, "That's not important. What's important is whether Chairman Yao will sign it."

Yao Ziqian held the contract for a long time. If what Fisher said was true, then his position as chairman was truly secure. Even if Chi Xuecan wanted to bring him down, it wouldn't be so easy.

"But I need to know what you want me to do," Yao Ziqian asked, still uneasy.

Fisher smiled, a dark and unfathomable glint flashing in his eyes.

After talking with Fisher, Yao Ziqian actually went on vacation the next day. Yan Zuozuo's workload suddenly increased. Although she had learned a lot about the relevant aspects beforehand, it wasn't so simple when she actually started working. Left with no other choice, she had to bite the bullet and ask Meng Yuanfei for leave.

Although Meng Yuanfei had a cold expression, he didn't make things difficult for her and answered almost everything he knew. With Meng Yuanfei's help, Yan Zuozuo's work went smoothly. Wu Xiaoran also didn't make things difficult for her; she explained everything in great detail, regardless of whether it involved work.

Thus, Yan Zuozuo gained a new understanding of Meng Yuanfei and Wu Xiaoran; they both seemed to be taciturn yet unfathomable. If one wasn't careful, they could very well be inexplicably eliminated.

Although work was tiring, Yan Zuozuo was quite content with the status quo. After all, only when she was busy to the point of exhaustion could she stop missing Chi Moqing so much. The days he was away felt like an eternity to her.

After packing her things, she glanced at the time; it was already noon, time for lunch. She stretched and prepared to go eat. Just then, her phone rang.

"Hello, is this Ms. Yan Zuozuo?" An unfamiliar number, an unfamiliar voice, formal and imposing. Yan Zuozuo was startled; she felt a familiar urge. "This is Yan Zuozuo. Who is this?"

"Ms. Yan, my surname is Zhang. I work for the Ministry of Public Security. We have a case here that requires your cooperation in the investigation."

Ministry of Public Security?

Yan Zuozuo's nerves tightened as she recalled the investigation Chi Moqing had undergone. "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's about Mr. Ou Luhan using gold to launder money. Do you have time at 3 PM this afternoon?"

Ou Luhan, money laundering with gold?

Yan Zuozuo was stunned: "I understand, I'll be there on time." After hanging up, she quickly called Ou Luhan, only to find that Ou Luhan's phone was switched off.

Oh no, this situation is exactly the same as when Chi Moqing was investigated!

Just as Yan Zuozuo was feeling uneasy, the phone rang again. This time it was Shang Xiaoguo calling. Before she could even speak, she heard Shang Xiaoguo's choked voice on the other end of the line. Yan Zuozuo could roughly guess what had happened, and quickly comforted her, "Guoguo, don't cry, tell me slowly."

"Zuo Zuo, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't taken away the Twin Wings, Young Master Ou wouldn't have been taken away... Waaah, it's all my fault, I don't know what to do now..."

It really was that jade ornament that caused the trouble.

"Zuozuo, do you think I should tell my parents? They'll definitely have a way. But I'm worried they'll stop us from getting married because of it... Waaah, Zuozuo, what should I do?"

Their parents never wanted them to get married so early, and they wouldn't have agreed if she hadn't threatened them with the child. Now that her parents know about this, they'll definitely postpone the wedding, and she doesn't want that.

Yan Zuozuo's mind raced. The Double Wings weren't originally for sale, but they were delivered to the merchant later. Now, someone is investigating Ou Luhan for suspected money laundering; this whole thing looks like it's been manipulated.

But who could it be?

Yan Zuozuo took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said to Shang Xiaoguo, "Guoguo, don't cry now, and don't rush to tell your parents. If the Ministry of Public Security asks you anything, just answer truthfully. Remember, you need to be strong right now, otherwise Young Master Ou will worry about you, and things will only get more and more complicated."

Upon hearing Yan Zuozuo's words, Shang Xiaoguo immediately stopped sobbing. "Yes, I won't cry. I can't cause trouble for Third Young Master. But Zuozuo, what should I do?"

"Leave the rest to me. If I really can't handle it, then you can tell your parents. That's all for now. Let's keep in touch."

"Okay, now I can only rely on you, Zuo Zuo," Shang Xiaoguo said, wiping away her tears.

Yan Zuozuo hung up. Since the item came from the mall, it likely involved two people: the original author and the mall manager. If they could identify these two individuals, they would definitely be able to get information.

The problem is that Chi Moqing is not in the country right now, so who should she ask for help?

Fisher, Lu Yuan, or Yi Fanxi... Never mind, I'll just ask them all.

Yan Zuozuo called Lu Yaoyuan and Yi Fanxi one by one, but when she got to Fisher, she hesitated. She inexplicably felt that she shouldn't call him, and she didn't know why, but she just had this feeling in her mind.

Finally, Yan Zuozuo decided to wait for Lu Yaoyuan and Yi Fanxi's reply. Just then, Chi's mother called. As soon as she pressed the answer button, Chi's mother's sharp voice came through the phone.

"Yan Zuozuo, you're really something. My son is working hard to make money in Germany, while you're living a carefree life in China, getting into a fight in a bar over a man. Have you no shame?!"

Yan Zuozuo tightened her grip on her phone; she had already prepared herself for the backlash when she saw the news. She took a deep breath before saying, "Mom, it was a misunderstanding. I'm busy right now, can I explain it to you another day?"

"What could you possibly be doing, busy seducing men?" Mrs. Chi attacked without any politeness. "She's come to your door asking you to let her boyfriend go. Yan Zuozuo, you're a restless vixen. I'm warning you, you'd better leave my son right now, or else, just wait and see how ruthless I'll be!"

Yan Zuozuo frowned as she listened. Her mother had been speaking more and more rudely lately, and since that was the case, she didn't want to waste her breath. "Mom, if you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do. I really have something to do now, so I'll hang up."

After saying that, she really hung up the phone. On the other end of the line, Chi's mother's eyes widened. This woman was becoming more and more lawless, daring to even cut off her phone.

Yan Zuozuo wasn't having an easy time either. Chi's mother's misunderstanding of her was deepening, and she no longer knew how to face her. Oh well, the present matter was more important; anyway, Chi's mother's impression of her wouldn't change anytime soon.

Not long after, Yi Fanxi called. Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up and she quickly answered.
