Chapter 338 - 121 What’s done is done, and what’s past is past
"But you this...." Su Zhiyuan still wanted to say something, but Yun Ya stood up.
"President, I just remembered that I have another matter to attend to, so I will be leaving first," he said.
Without regard to how Su Zhiyuan called after him, he quickly left the office.
When she was abroad, she had received many invitations to such symposiums, some even inviting her to give keynote lectures, all of which she declined.
Before gaining stronger power, it was best not to be too prominent.

Kang Jinse was still unaware that Kang Jinxian had run into trouble; all she noticed was that Yun Shu had come back from going out, her face terribly gloomy.
She couldn’t help but feel a little terrified.
Over the past decade or so, her fear of Yun Shu had grown day by day. This woman, who was about to become her mother-in-law, could make her feel completely exposed with just one look.
"Aunt Yun, who made you upset?" Kang Jinse asked cautiously.
Yun Shu’s cold gaze swept over her, making Kang Jinse’s heart skip a beat.
Her thin lips curled slightly, icy and mocking.
"Who else? Of course, it’s your dear sister," she said.
Kang Jinse’s heart skipped a beat in shock. What had Ah Xian done to upset Yun Shu?
She felt both anxious and resentful.
Fearing that Ah Xian had done something to bring trouble upon her, she knew Yun Shu all too well. Despite appearing caring towards her now, Yun Shu could be utterly heartless if she turned her face against someone.
What if she too was discarded by Yun Shu because of Ah Xian? Yun Shu was her only shield; she couldn’t afford to lose her.
With this thought, Kang Jinse feigned surprise: "What happened to Ah Xian? Did she anger you again? This child, really, I don’t know what to say about her."
Yun Shu looked at her with scorn: "You didn’t even ask what happened, how can you be so sure it was your sister’s fault?"
From Yun Shu’s tone, Kang Jinse was absolutely certain that Ah Xian must have done something, otherwise, Yun Shu wouldn’t refer to Ah Xian that way.
"Mom, Ah Xian is young and doesn’t understand things. Even if she did something wrong, please forgive her for my sake and for the sake of the child in my belly. I will definitely discipline her more strictly in the future," she pleaded.
"How much is your face worth?" Yun Shu’s words were undisguised in their contempt, making Kang Jinse’s face turn extremely ugly in an instant.
"Indeed, someone from a small place can’t make it into high society. You’d better pray that the child you give birth to doesn’t inherit any of your traits," she said before walking away without giving another glance at Kang Jinse’s extremely embarrassing expression.
These words were like a harsh slap to Kang Jinse’s face, making her feel like vomiting blood.
For years, she had slaved away for the Yun Family, attending to Yun Shen and Yun Shu, enduring ridicule from the outside world and the mother and son’s difficulties, only to realize that this was what Yun Shu thought of her.
Why feel proud? Weren’t you also from the countryside yourself? Putting on airs like some ancient empress in front of her.
Anger simmered in Kang Jinse’s heart, and she ended up hating Kang Jinxian as well.
This damned girl, what had she done behind her back that made Yun Shu so angry, making her the scapegoat?
——
"President Yun, President Qin just had a meal with the person in charge of Huanyu, and they seemed to be getting along well during the meal..."
Liang Yu stood in front of the desk, carefully glancing at Yun Shen.
Yun Shen’s expression was cold, his lips pressed tightly together.
"Has everything been sent to President Li?" he asked.
"Yes, Lady Li received it."
"President Yun, we can’t wait any longer. If Huanyu and Shenghua get ahead of us, we’ll be completely suppressed."
Yun Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, pondering, "Convene a board meeting, let the news that the company will issue new shares be spread."
Liang Yu replied with surprise, "But there’s still no word from President Li, to do this... it’s too risky."
"We have no other choice. Before the listing, we must settle matters with President Li," he said.
Liang Yu sighed, "If it weren’t for the project in the northwest taking away most of the liquid capital, we wouldn’t be in such a passive position now."
A fierce look flashed in Yun Shen’s eyes. He wouldn’t let the opportunity slip to Huanyu and Shenghua; he wanted Yun’s to be the strongest domestically and internationally. He wanted everyone to remember the name Yun Shen, not Ji’s or Ji Huaixi.
He was too eager for success and too impatient to erase the brand of Ji’s. The other party had caught on to this and set a trap, just waiting for him to fall into it.
Usually cautious, Yun Shen chose the most dangerous path in the face of success within his reach.

Yun Shen strode out of the company, a composed and handsome middle-aged man who remained the object of many female employees’ desire.
