I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 137: Yuan Xi Rose to Power by Relying on a Man

Chapter 137 -137: Yuan Xi Rose to Power by Relying on a Man

Fu Yi’s brow furrowed tightly, “Yanyan!”

Chu Yan cried helplessly, “Fu Yi, I can’t do it anymore. Yu Fu’s demands are getting bigger and bigger. It started at 200,000, now he’s asking for five million, and who knows how much he’ll demand from me in the future. I don’t want to always be threatened by him. Can you help me, please?”

“Fu Yi, I know you will help me.”

Fu Yi frowned deeply and said in a cold voice, “Do you realize that intentionally running someone over with a car can also lead to a prison sentence?”

Chu Yan said, “Chairman Fu would never let anything happen to you… Fu Yi, I’m really scared. If Yu Fu exposes my identity, will Chairman Fu still allow us to be together?”

Chu Yan stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Fu Yi’s waist, “Fu Yi, I don’t want to be separated from you.”

...

Turning around, Fu Yi embraced Chu Yan and said, “We won’t be separated, no one can tear us apart, not even Chairman Fu. If Yu Fu threatens you again, you don’t have to pay him any mind, even if he exposes you nobody will care.”

Chu Yan whispered, “You know Yuan Xi has always disliked me. If what Yu Fu says is true, that the nanny Yuan Xi lost was actually my maternal grandmother, Yuan Xi will definitely use this to target me…”

Fu Yi said, “Don’t be afraid. If Yuan Xi really does that, I won’t let her get away with it.”

Chu Yan’s brows were furrowed deeply in Fu Yi’s embrace; if Yuan Xi found out about this, her life would surely become a laughing stock!

…

As October approached, Chen Yuan and Shi Lei’s wedding date was drawing near as well.

Chen Yuan’s attitude towards the wedding can be described in one word: apathetic. However, Liang Suisui was running around with great enthusiasm, being the only one among them who was at leisure.

The noon banquet at Chenyuan’s house was scheduled to be at Huai Xiang Hotel, and the formal wedding in the evening at Shiyi Hotel.

Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan’s mother, along with Shi Lei’s mother, were busy choosing wedding decorations, wedding candies, and setting various wedding procedures. Suisui was actually enjoying herself in the process.

In the besties chat group.

Sui Sui Good Fortune: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, leave your wedding to me too. I think I could already start a wedding planning company.

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: Okay.

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: Thanks, Sui Sui darling, love you.

Sui Sui Good Fortune: It’s no trouble, who else could be your only bridesmaid!

Yuan Xi exited the chat interface and started searching for Gao Yang.

On various social media platforms, all of Gao Yang’s posted content were her interview videos.

The most popular was the video of Gao Yang interviewing Si Chen, with nearly 700,000 likes and almost 50,000 comments.

“So beautiful and handsome, such a perfect match, doesn’t President Si consider signing Gao Yang under Youzi Film and Television?”

“I know Si Chen is married, but I can’t help shipping President Si and Gao Yang.”

“Gao Yang’s wife is so stunning! Absolutely stunning!”

Yuan Xi thought no wonder Gu Hanchen hadn’t seriously dated in recent years; indeed, if someone met such a high school crush with charming looks, it would be difficult to forget her for a lifetime.

Yuan Xi liked the video of Gao Yang interviewing Si Chen.

The time for Huo Shiyuan’s interview was set for Thursday afternoon; the program team planned to release the show before the National Day to boost ratings at the end of the month.

On Thursday afternoon, Huo Shiyuan came to Mi Chen to pick up Yuan Xi to go to the TV station together. Yuan Xi was not too busy lately, so she went along with Huo Shiyuan.

Gu Hanchen, determined despite his physical disability, saw them leaving and insisted on tagging along.

Once in the car, Gu Hanchen said, “It’s been almost ten years since I’ve seen her. I heard she’s become incredibly beautiful. I wonder if she still remembers me?”

For the first time, Yuan Xi saw a look of bashful shyness on Gu Hanchen’s face.

Upon arriving at the studio, Gao Yang, who had finished her makeup and was wearing a light blue Armani suit dress, came out to greet Huo Shiyuan, extending her hand, “President Huo.”

Huo Shiyuan shook her hand, “Hello.”

Gao Yang turned to Yuan Xi, who stood beside Huo Shiyuan in a sleeveless black dress clearly showing her baby bump, and reached out, “Hello, Xiao Xi, I often hear Sister Mi Yi mention you.”

Yuan Xi responded with a professionally polite smile, “Hello, Mr. Gao.”

Gao Yang glanced at Gu Hanchen in the wheelchair but did not offer her hand to him.

Gu Hanchen frowned and said, “Hey, Gao Yang! Don’t you recognize me? We were classmates in high school, I’m Gu Hanchen…”

Gao Yang said, “I know him, but I don’t think there’s any need for us to say hello.”

Gu Hanchen, sitting in a wheelchair, let out a cold laugh, “Why not say hello when old classmates meet?”

Gao Yang ignored Gu Hanchen and said to Huo Shiyuan, “President Huo, I won’t take up any more of your time, let’s start the interview, please…”

In the recording studio, there was a sofa.

As soon as Huo Shiyuan sat down on the sofa, he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Yuan Xi sat in the director’s room outside the studio, watching the interview inside.

Gao Yang’s initial questions centered around the future investment focuses and industries of Shixi Finance, as well as Huo Shiyuan’s opinion on the hottest topic in the financial sector at the moment: AI.

Huo Shiyuan answered fluently, narrating with ease.

Yuan Xi looked at the director’s expression, which was clearly very satisfied.

“President Huo, I would like to ask about the origin of the name Shixi Finance.”

Unlike the professional and cold tone he had before, Huo Shiyuan answered with a slight, faint smile, “The name Shixi Finance comes from my wife’s name and mine. My wife’s name contains the character ‘Xi,’ which represents the dawn. Originally, we wanted to use her ‘Xi’ for the name.

When Shixi was established, I was still abroad. The English translation was Timewest, so we kept the character ‘Xi’.”

In the director’s room, Gu Hanchen spoke, “Do you guys smell something?”

Yuan Xi shook her head, “No? Is it the scent of the ointment on you?”

Gu Hanchen said, “I smell the sour stench of love!”

Yuan Xi: “…”

Yuan Xi really hadn’t expected that ‘Xi’ of Shixi came from her.

The interview lasted a full three hours. After it ended, Gao Yang stood up and said, “President Huo, thank you for accepting our interview. I wonder if you and Xiao Xi would be free to have dinner with me tonight, as a gesture of my gratitude?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “There’s no need for dinner, if you want to thank someone, thank Mi Yi. I came to this interview today all because of Mi Yi.”

Gao Yang said, “Okay.”

Huo Shiyuan went to the director’s room but only found Gu Hanchen, “Where is my wife?”

Gu Hanchen mimicked Huo Shiyuan’s tone, “My wife… sour, isn’t it?”

Huo Shiyuan looked towards Qin Lang, “Where’s Xiao Xi?”

Qin Lang replied, “The madam went to the restroom.”

In the restroom.

Yuan Xi was about to go wash her hands when she overheard a conversation outside.

“Mr. Gao, President Huo is really so handsome. I just saw him and he looked perfect from every angle, 360 degrees with no dead spots. If he’s on the show, the ratings will definitely skyrocket.”

“And Mr. Gao, I think Yuan Xi’s looks are quite good too. Aren’t you working on female entrepreneurs interviews recently? Why not interview Yuan Xi? As a female chairman of a hundred billion company, an interview with Yuan Xi would also get high ratings.”

Gao Yang’s voice was laced with sarcasm, “How much of Yuan Xi’s success is truly her own? It’s all thanks to men. She doesn’t deserve to be called a female entrepreneur. If she were Gu Hanchen’s secretary, I might actually think highly of her and interview her.

Having climbed her way up by leveraging men to become a multi-billion female chairman, why bother interviewing her?

Besides, didn’t you see her, pregnant, still coming here to hover over Huo Shiyuan’s interview, afraid that I might steal her husband?

I would never let such a woman, who follows her husband everywhere out of fear that someone might steal him, and who can only succeed by depending on a man, enter my female entrepreneur interviews.”

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, pushed open the stall door, and went out to wash her hands calmly.

Yuan Xi looked at Gao Yang, her voice indifferent, “I didn’t come here today to keep an eye on Huo Shiyuan. I trust Sister Mi Yi’s judgment, I trust her friend’s character.

Moreover, I’m not worried about someone stealing Huo Shiyuan. He’s not an object. If he could be stolen, it would mean that he went willingly, and in that case, I wouldn’t care about Huo Shiyuan at all.”

“Mr. Gao, I’ve seen your social media, where you claim to epitomize independent career women who stand out in a competitive society. Why then do you speculate about women with such malice?”

Gao Yang’s face turned a shade greener, embarrassed at being caught talking behind someone’s back.

After Yuan Xi dried her hands with a paper towel, she left.

Gao Yang’s assistant said, “Mr. Gao…”

Gao Yang said, “It’s nothing, we didn’t say anything wrong.”
