Chapter 332 - 306: Give a Reason
Yu Minglang didn’t want to lose control in front of Xiao Qian, so he changed the topic from Rong Yuan to something else.
“Don’t you have a Psychological Intervention Group? Why are you still letting me lecture?” Xiao Qian asked.
“That’s different. Their theories are not as powerful as your practical experience.”
The Psychological Intervention Group only provided counseling for special situations. Xiao Qian’s performance today was more effective. She solved the problem without a fuss.
There was no specific position for negotiation experts in the mainland. Full- time negotiators were scarce, but some people had negotiation training. When negotiation was needed, these people would step up. Of course, our place has always had good public security, and serious incidents were rare, so there were not many occasions for negotiation experts.
This field was still in its infancy, and Xiao Qian’s outstanding performance showed Xiao Qiang that his team still had room for improvement in this area. Increasing the training in this field was essential, even for use at the negotiation table.
Everyone praised Xiao Qian highly. She modestly responded to their compliments and patiently answered their questions, displaying her professionalism.
The car sped towards Yu Minglang’s unit. Rong Yuan looked at Xiao Qian pensively, his impression of her changed through today’s events.
When Yu Minglang was showing off to his close subordinates, Rong Yuan accidentally saw the chat record between Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian, thinking that this woman was trying to hook up with Young Boss. However, she didn’t seem as high and mighty or calculating today.
It was Xiao Qian’s first time at Yu Minglang’s unit. Her splendid performance today delighted Yu Minglang, who promised to have a celebration dinner at the nearby hotel owned by his family and formally introduce Xiao Qian to everyone.
As soon as they arrived at the company, Xiao Qian was called into the office by an elder of Yu Minglang, who was also a major shareholder of the company.
Yu Minglang originally wanted to accompany Xiao Qian, but was kicked out by his uncle, who then chatted with Xiao Qian alone over tea.
Yu Minglang generously gave his brothers half a day off, and they would have a meal together when Xiao Qian came out.
While waiting, he went to Rong Yuan’s office alone.
He knocked on the door, and Rong Yuan opened it.
When Yu Minglang came in with several people, their treatment in the company was pretty good. Of course, they contributed even more.
Yu Minglang had already planned to settle the score with Rong Yuan, but when he entered the office and saw the suitcase on the floor, he didn’t know what to say.
Rong Yuan’s office had already been cleared out. The table was empty, and someone else would move in tomorrow. The original occupant of the office would leave today.
Seeing Yu Minglang’s silence, Rong Yuan took the initiative to break the ice and speak to him proactively.
“They’re clamoring for you to treat them. It seems like you’re going to lose a fortune tonight. You can’t escape treating them, it’s a shame I can’t go. I wanted to make some money off you before leaving.” Rong Yuan said with regret.
“You’re leaving already?”
Yu Minglang knew he wanted to resign. Zeng Rong’s resignation application had to go through him. He came to help out of friendship, and he had his own job back home. Still, it seemed there was still some time before he would leave.
Zeng Rong was Rong Yuan’s real name.
“Yes, there’s no point in staying. I might as well leave.” Zeng Rong said honestly.
“I think you owe me an explanation.”
“An explanation?” Zeng Rong shook his head.
“I don’t need an explanation. I did it, and you can do whatever you want.”
“What is your purpose for doing this before leaving? I don’t remember having any grudges with you.”
“Just regard it as a prank before leaving. I’ve offended you, and I can’t stay any longer. I won’t wait for you to retaliate against me. Your father also agreed that I could leave today. While everyone is having dinner with you, I’ll leave alone to avoid making the brothers sad. The brothers would despise me if they knew I did this to you, and they probably wouldn’t accompany me. Why make everyone feel awkward?”
Yu Minglang came to settle the score, and Zeng Rong wasn’t surprised at all. He had already thought about the consequences when he made his move.
“Zeng Rong, why did you call my fiancee? Give me a reason!”
Zeng Rong didn’t answer his question but said with a bitter smile.
“It seems like you really hate me. You don’t even want to call me by my codename anymore.”
The codename meant they were on the same side, and calling by their real name represented Yu Minglang had completely alienated him.
“I didn’t expect you to do something like this. What’s the point of breaking up with Xiao Qian? What good does it do you?”
Yu Minglang never thought it would be him. He had considered many possibilities, but none of them included his close brother betraying him. Only after eliminating others, Zeng Rong was the only one left who had used the phone.
Before he could settle the score with Zeng Rong, a hostage situation occurred. After handling official matters, Yu Minglang naturally wanted settle the score.
Being betrayed by his own brother was incredibly painful, much worse than being injured hundreds of times.
It dealt a tremendous blow to his spirit.
“You really found out. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Yes, I was the one who called, after altering my voice.”
Zeng Rong admitted it cheerfully.
Sitting on the suitcase, he was no longer Yu Minglang’s employee.
Yu Minglang refused to let him participate in the rescue operation, leaving him with a permanent regret.
“You’re not the type of person who is careless. Since you knew I’d find out, why did you do it anyway?”
“You can hate me. I did do it, but I don’t think I went too far. After all, you changed your emergency contact person to Chen Xiaoqian, and you changed your will. In it, you wrote that if you were to die, half your property would go to your parents and the other half to Chen Xiaoqian. It’s reasonable for me to call her as your private lawyer. I just might have said a little too much.”
Yu Minglang had a top-secret will, and Rong Yuan was his legal consultant for it. Rong Yuan had handled all the details himself.
When the will was made, besides expressing his apologies to Xiao Qian and hoping she could forget the past and live well, he also mentioned that half of his property would be left to Xiao Qian since he knew his parents didn’t need money.
The will was with Zeng Rong, so Yu Minglang wasn’t surprised he knew about it. He was just heartbroken, wondering why a brother who had shared life and death situations with him would do this.
“You didn’t just say a little too much to her – you said way too much!”
So much so that Xiao Mei broke up with him on the spot after hearing it!
“Maybe I did say too much, but was any of it untrue? One, does she really love you? When you were head over heels for her, how many times did she give you genuine affection?”
