I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 145 - : Spare Gao Yang’s Life

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Spare Gao Yang’s Life

Yuan Xi had finished posting on Weibo and decided not to pay any more attention to the online chaos.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xi was busy dealing with the land auction for the new school on Shannan Road. The estimated starting bid for the land was around 2.5 billion, but with Fu An Group’s substantial financial resources, Yuan Xi had no idea how many billions they would bid to secure it.

Unlike Fu An Group, which planned to build a shopping mall on the land that could bring in substantial revenues, Yuan Xi intended to build a school, where the return on investment from tuition fees would be much lower than that of a shopping mall.

However, with Mi Chen’s endorsement, quite a few banks in Jiang City were willing to approve loans for them, although Jiangcheng Bank’s interest rates were not low, and there was considerable pressure to repay these loans in the short term.

This was Yuan Xi’s first time bidding for land, and she was a novice in many respects, afraid that she might offer an inappropriate price.

Gu Hanchen gave Yuan Xi a bad suggestion: he advised her to ask her uncle, Yang Zhang, for an insider favor.

...

But Yuan Xi dared not do such a thing; she didn’t want to partake in corruption.

She would rather lose the auction than resort to such methods and would just have to look elsewhere for land.

Huo Shiyuan, on the other hand, was confident about the price he estimated and assured Yuan Xi not to worry.

On October 6th, at noon.

While dining with Mr. Yang from Jufeng Bank and others at Shiyi Hotel, Yuan Xi received a call from Mi Yi.

Yuan Xi said to Gu Hanchen, “I’m going to step out to take a call.”

Gu Hanchen nodded.

Yuan Xi walked to the hotel entrance and answered the call, “Sister Mi Yi.”

Mi Yi said, “Xiao Yi, Gao Yang comes from an ordinary background. Her parents favored sons over daughters, and she has a younger sister and brother. Her parents complained about the high school fees, and it was only because Qiming International High School was willing to waive her tuition and offer a full scholarship that she could continue her education.

As a private high school, the students there are particularly disdainful of the poor and fond of the wealthy. Later on, because of her relationship with Chu Lin, Gao Yang was bullied by her classmates, especially Chu Yan…”

Mi Yi sighed, “Chu Yan pressured Qiming International High School to expel Gao Yang, and no other private high school in Jiang City would accept her. It was even harder to transfer to a public high school in her senior year.

In the end, Gao Yang managed to get into Jiang City Communication University by working part-time and studying on her own in finance. She’s a girl who’s really not had it easy and is very determined.”

“Gao Yang grew up in a family atmosphere that favored boys over girls, so she has always been determined, and also because her family has always advocated for women’s rights.

This time, Gao Yang indeed misunderstood the situation, and in general, it was indeed her fault, but she has recognized her mistake. So, please don’t be too harsh on her and give her a way out.”

“Give her a way out?”

Yuan Xi knew Mi Yi was a righteous person; she had helped Yuan Xi during her most difficult times.

Yuan Xi said, “Sister Mi Yi, what do you mean by ‘give her a way out’? I only wrote that essay because Gao Yang had written one first… Are you asking me to delete my essay?”

Mi Yi on the other end of the call said, “No, it’s that Gao Yang didn’t have an easy time getting into Jiangcheng TV, and now the director wants to fire her, saying it’s because someone is pressuring the director to dismiss her.”

Yuan Xi said, “That’s not me; I’ve never pressured the director.”

Mi Yi asked, “What about Huo Shiyuan?”

Yuan Xi replied, “I wouldn’t know about that. If he did pressure the director, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“Alright then.”

Yuan Xi hung up the phone with a slight frown, not sure if it was because she was pregnant that her emotions were more sensitive, but she had always seen Mi Yi as a benefactor, a good sister on her life’s journey.

Yuan Xi thought that even though work at Mi Chen was busy and Gu Hanchen could sometimes be quite difficult, the salary was genuinely high.

If she were to leave the platform of Mi Chen, she might still be like her college roommates, earning ten thousand a month, and after paying taxes and social security, she’d take home only about seven thousand…

Not to mention buying a house and a car or having savings, she wouldn’t even have the confidence to consider having a child before marriage.

Yuan Xi had always admired and been grateful to Mi Yi.

So she had initially trusted the friend introduced by Mi Yi unconditionally, and knowing how Huo Shiyan disliked public appearances, she still let Huo Shiyan accept Gao Yang’s interview.

But Mi Yi didn’t have any trust in her at all, actually thinking she would abuse her power and force Gao Yang into a desperate situation…

The misunderstanding from Mi Yi and the favoritism toward Gao Yang made Yuan Xi think that maybe she had placed too much importance on her relationship with Mi Yi.

Yuan Xi returned to the private room where Gu Hanchen had started drinking with Mr. Yang, with Zhong Xiaoyi beside them, trying in vain to dissuade him.

“Mr. Gu, you are still taking antibiotics! How can you drink alcohol?”

Gu Hanchen put his arm around Mr. Yang’s shoulder, “I’m happy, seeing Brother Yang today is like seeing my own brother.”

Gu Hanchen coaxed Mr. Yang into a good mood; in terms of the loan, Mr. Yang was also quite straightforward.

With Jufeng Bank backing her, Yuan Xi felt even more confident about bidding for the land on Shannan Road.

After Mr. Yang and his party left, a drunken Gu Hanchen clamored to eat Xiao Xi, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten Secretary Yuan’s Xiao Xi. I want to eat Xiao Xi.”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Chairman Yuan, how do you make your Xiao Xi? I’ve made them for Mr. Gu a few times, but he says they aren’t good.”

Yuan Xi said, “That’s frozen Xiao Xi bought from a dumpling shop in Huxi Village, Qing City. You just freeze them and boil them for three to five minutes. The area was demolished, and I don’t know where that Qing City dumpling shop has moved to. I’ll give you the owner’s contact information.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Okay.”

Yuan Xi, seeing Zhong Xiaoyi coaxing Gu Hanchen to drink water, guessed something.

“Xiao Yi, come with me to the restroom.”

Zhong Xiaoyi followed Yuan Xi out.

At the door, Yuan Xi asked, “Xiao Yi, do you like Gu Hanchen?”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked up at Yuan Xi, her face reddening, “I… I…”

Yuan Xi, seeing Zhong Xiaoyi’s expression, said, “One big taboo at work is falling for your boss. Shall I transfer you to Shixi School to work in administrative management?”

Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head, “Chairman Yuan, it’s true I like Mr. Gu. I’ve had a crush on him since I was sixteen.

But I don’t expect anything to happen with Mr. Gu. I know my place and have never thought about being together with him.

Moreover, I promised Mr. Gu I wouldn’t date until I’m thirty. I just want to spend a few more years by his side before I turn thirty,

After Mr. Gu gets married, I will force myself to stop liking him and forget about him.”

Yuan Xi, “… As long as you’ve thought it through for yourself.”

Zhong Xiaoyi smiled, “Yeah.”

After leaving Shiyi Hotel, Yuan Xi ran into Huo Shiyan who had come to pick her up.

Yuan Xi got into the car and looked at Huo Shiyan beside her, “Did you ask Jiangcheng TV’s leadership to fire Gao Yang?”

Huo Shiyan said, “No, but I can go ask Jiangcheng TV to fire Gao Yang.”

Yuan Xi shook her head, “No need, Mi Yi just asked me about this too. As long as you haven’t made the request, it’s fine.”

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi, “Didn’t the loan from Jufeng Bank go well?”

“It went very well.”

Huo Shiyan said, “Then why are you unhappy again?”

Yuan Xi gave a faint smile, “I always regarded Mi Yi as the most trustworthy and important person in my life, but now I suddenly feel that I am not important in her heart at all. Even though I can trust her character unconditionally, she doesn’t have any trust in mine.

The sister I cared about the most turns out not to care about me. It’s just a bit disheartening.”

This time, Huo Shiyan did not comfort Yuan Xi, “You finally understand the feeling of disheartenment when the person you care about the most doesn’t care about you.”
