Chapter 706: Chapter 707 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 39_1

The Wei Family group arrived in Harbor City, and Wei Xudong certainly received the news.

In the past, whenever someone from the Wei’s came to Harbor City, he would make time to meet them and treat them to a meal.

After all, he was the future successor of Wei’s, and it was crucial to build a good rapport with his subordinates in advance.

But this time, it was the new CEO who came over, which made Wei Xudong quite unhappy, considering it was the person who had taken away both his father’s and his positions.

What surprised him even more was that the person went straight to visit Zhang Li after arriving in Harbor City.

Wei Xudong couldn’t understand why they would meet with Zhang Li, who held no shares in Wei’s—a mere mathematician. With so many talents at Wei’s, did they really need her?

After much thought, Wei Xudong, who was still at a loss, finally considered a possibility: that the other party intended to strike at Wei Yan through Zhang Li.

Zhang Li knew better than to expect Wei Xudong’s brain to be in gear; once upon a time, his brain was somewhat usable.

Ever since losing a fortune in the futures market and his relationship with Wei Wei coming to an end, this guy had indeed been drinking quite a lot.

"I’m telling you, you can cut down on the drinking," Zhang Li, looking at Wei Xudong standing before her, restlessly babbling and advising her not to get close to the enemies of the Wei Family, was clearly impatient.

"Moreover, if you say they are enemies, aren’t we enemies too? Didn’t you obstruct my return for the Wei Family’s fortune and for Wei Wei?"

"Back then, how come you never considered that we were all part of the Wei Family, that we were one and should think of the Wei Family’s honor?"

"Now that you’ve fallen on hard times, you want to join forces with me to create this so-called Wei Family honor; I really can’t understand what’s going on in your head."

Zhang Li shook her head helplessly. "Right, I’ve also already negotiated with Wei’s: the land I bought earlier, they’re purchasing it for the current market price plus ten percent—I sold them a few plots."

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the time when land prices were skyrocketing. Although she had held onto the plots for a few months, they had only appreciated by about seven or eight percent.

She was grateful that they had raised the price, or she really would have hesitated to sell, preferring to try her luck in the Europe and America stock market to make a little more money before coming back to develop the land.

What? The land she bought before was actually sold to Wei’s? Wei Xudong’s face suddenly turned ugly, "You, you..."

"I need to develop a plot of land, and I’m out of money," Zhang Li said bluntly.

"Wei’s offer was appealing, and after all, Wei’s still holds Wei Family shares—they’re the major shareholders."

Zhang Li felt she was truly a good person. Even though she had a bad relationship with Wei Yan and the others, she still hadn’t collaborated with anyone outside the Wei Family.

"Major shareholder, what major shareholder? If they still recognized the Wei Family as major shareholders, why would they oust our dad?"

Wei Xudong, thinking about how his future was gone, shouted in anger.

"You, cooperating with them, are going against the Wei Family." Such a dead girl, with no sense of honor.

Going against the Wei Family, Zhang Li looked at the person in his frustrated rage and couldn’t help but laugh, "If you say they are the enemy, then let it be."

"Anyway, I’ve never considered myself a Wei Family member." Zhang Li was a true maverick.

"You, you..." Wei Xudong hadn’t expected Zhang Li to be so excessive.

"I, I will tell mom and dad about this." After thinking for a while, Wei Xudong knew that playing the so-called brother card wouldn’t suppress Zhang Li.

But that didn’t matter, Wei Yan and the others were still there.

"Tell them, go ahead and say it."

"You can say it in your circle of the rich that I, Zhang Li, am not a child of the Wei Family."

"After all, you’ve never introduced me, and my household registration has never been with the Wei Family."

"And I am Zhang Li."

"From childhood to adulthood, I’ve used the Zhang family’s money, never touching a penny of the Wei family’s."

"Hurry up, can you please be quick about it, claiming ties with the Wei family is really, sigh," Zhang Li sighed.

"I know you’re not content, and I’m not happy either."

"It’s settled now, no need to feel troubled, I have nothing to do with the Wei family."

"From now on, please don’t come to me for anything related to the Wei family," Zhang Li said, bypassing Wei Xudong.

Watching someone’s defiant arrogance, Wei Xudong couldn’t stand it, he immediately made a phone call to Wei Xudong to complain bitterly about Zhang Li’s audacity.

Although he no longer went to work at Wei’s or attended the so-called board meetings,

Wei Yan wasn’t ignorant of Wei’s actions; someone would tell him about them.

No sooner had Wei’s drawn up an agreement with Zhang Li than Wei Yan knew about it.

At first, he didn’t believe it, as Zhang Li had been so straightforward that day, saying she would absolutely not cooperate with Wei’s.

But to his surprise, the situation had turned on its head: he had barely stepped down from his position as Wei’s CEO when Zhang Li started cooperating with Wei’s.

What he knew even more was that Wei’s had actually offered another cooperation proposal to Zhang Li, which she directly rejected,

fearing that it could be detrimental to her if the Wei father and son came to power.

The matter blew up big, not only within Wei’s but also spread beyond, and Wei Yan wasn’t foolish; who else could have spread it if not someone inside Wei’s?

Apart from the people within the Wei’s, he didn’t need to think about who else would do such a thing—the objective was to make it known that Wei Yan was a fool.

Treating sons and daughters differently, even an old family friend called to confirm if this was true.

Finally, he added that times had changed, the daughter and the son were the same; as long as one had the capability, the daughter could also inherit the family business and the like.

What could Wei Yan do but listen? It was really because Wei Xudong was useless; if only he had been more capable, even if Zhang Li was competent, so what?

Now, receiving this complaining call from Wei Xudong, Wei Yan was also furious.

He chastised him thoroughly on the phone, in short, before tattling, he should reflect on his own behavior.

Wei Xudong had thought that no matter what, Zhang Li’s arrogance should have angered Wei Yan, but unexpectedly, Wei Yan ended up scolding him instead.

That made Wei Xudong furious, but there was nothing he could do, as he still depended on Wei Yan to make a comeback at Wei’s.

Whether or not he had the title of Young Master Wei had a huge impact on him; apart from admitting his errors, what more could he do?

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yan vented his anger furiously at Xue Yan, who knew nothing of the situation.

Xue Yan sighed helplessly, what could she do? Ever since Wei Yan was no longer Wei’s CEO, every time something unhappy happened, he would immediately vent on her.

Xue Yan looked at her former colleagues, who were enjoying their retirement, either traveling or occasionally gathering for leisure.

One could say their lives were really quite comfortable, whereas hers had turned into a veritable punching bag.

And she couldn’t even complain, maintaining the facade of a happily married woman in front of relatives, friends, and even colleagues.

Seeing Xue Yan’s aggrieved but silent face, Wei Yan became even more infuriated the more he looked at her.
