CHAPTER 594: CHAPTER 583: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

After everyone had left, Ye Chan sipped her tea calmly. In fact, she had intentionally revealed those things during Li Xinyi’s questioning.

Because in this circle, her reputation was not small, and the reason for her divorce from Li Chengyu had not been made public. Suddenly coming to work for a high position at Gu Group, she would inevitably be subject to speculation and suspicion from others. It would be better for her to take the initiative and disclose it herself.

Li Xinyi’s reaction also pleased her; she managed to portray herself as a strong and decisive woman who had been forced into making a clean break from a position of weakness.

"Brother, all the documents are here. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time," Gu Mingshen said, still concerned about Li Xinyi waiting outside, thus he quickly went over the matters in just twenty minutes.

"Mhm," Gu Mingting nodded in acknowledgment, treating even family members with professional decorum, "Grandfather is in the hospital. If you have time later, go and see him. He misses you a lot."

"I know."

"Where’s the person I brought?" Gu Mingshen, not seeing Li Xinyi in the reception room, frowned and asked Secretary Li who hurried over.

"Miss Li Xinyi? She said she was waiting for you on the first floor," Secretary Li panted slightly.

Gu Mingshen frowned and said nothing, quickly walking towards the elevator.

After seeing Gu Mingshen off, Secretary Li turned back and concisely informed Gu Mingting of the incident that had just occurred.

Ye Chan was the talent he valued, and Li Xinyi was the person brought by his cousin. Gu Mingting had no hesitation about whom he favored in his heart.

"If that Li Xinyi comes to the company again, keep an eye on her. Don’t let her disturb Ye Chan."

"Yes, President."

"Hmm, ask Ye Chan to come here now."

The conversation between Ye Chan and Gu Mingting lasted for one and a half hours, and by the end of their discussion about the pharmaceutical group’s development, both were quite parched.

However, as the conversation progressed, Gu Mingting’s appreciation for the young woman before him grew stronger; she was indeed the talent he had set his sights on! The most direct response to his admiration was the additional two million yuan to Ye Chan’s annual salary on the contract, because she was worth it.

Walking out of Gu Group’s main entrance, Ye Chan felt refreshed and invigorated. Indeed, working for a big company felt completely different than working for her in-laws.

Although she had significant authority while at Pengcheng Group, no matter what, she could not overshadow Li Pengcheng, Gao Juan, and Li Chengyu, especially Gao Juan. Even though she wasn’t very knowledgeable about some aspects of operations, Ye Chan had to report in detail to her.

And the employees, those who spent more time with her knew that she had earned her position through genuine capabilities; others would always view her through tainted glasses, thinking that she got her position just because she was the chairman’s daughter-in-law.

No amount of work felt rewarding, but it was different at Gu Group. Here, one had to speak with real abilities.

Even though President Gu had said that if her abilities did not match her position at any time, she would be demoted, as long as you have real skills, Gu Group’s compensation was extremely generous.

Here, as long as she achieved results, she needn’t fear being looked at through colored glasses.

Ye Chan was truly happy today, and seeing there was still time in the afternoon, she decided to go shopping for new gear for herself and her father. President Gu’s salary was very generous, so spending it didn’t hurt at all.

"Have you finished talking? You look so happy?" Ye Qiu smiled happily looking at his daughter.

"Yes, from next Monday, I’ll start working. I will do my best," Ye Chan declared ambitiously.

"Hmm, when someone treats you so well, it’s only right to work hard for them, but you must also take care of your own health and not exhaust yourself," Ye Qiu instructed her with concern. "This is a new soup I’ve concocted that is good for your health. Come, drink it while it’s hot."

"I’ll drink up!" Ye Chan took a sip and her eyes lit up, "Dad, if you sold this soup, you’d probably do better business than now."

"Hmph! Of course, who do you think your dad is?"

"Yes, yes, you’re the greatest, Dad." Ye Chan placated him, "Dad, where’s the remote? I want to watch some news."

"Look for it yourself, it should be there on the sofa."

Ye Chan found the remote and turned on the TV, and a familiar face appeared on the program—it was Gao Juan and Li Pengcheng.

The scene appeared to be a charity gala, where an interviewer was stopping them to ask questions outside the venue.

"Chairman Li, Mrs. Gao, is it true that your son and daughter-in-law divorced recently? Were you hiding the news to prevent it from affecting your stock prices?" The interviewer rushed through the questions, then thrust the microphone in front of them.

"They are divorced indeed, but these days, there are many young people who get divorced. It’s their own business, and I shouldn’t really comment on it, and as for affecting the stock, that’s pure nonsense. Pengcheng Group is developing well, so no one needs to worry about that," Li Pengcheng said looking quite composed.

"Hmph, still defending her? Isn’t it all because of her gambling-addict father?" Gao Juan muttered softly beside him, but with the microphone right by her mouth, how could it have been soft?

Li Pengcheng glanced at Gao Juan: "Say less. What’s the point of mentioning these things in public? The divorce was a matter between the two young people, what does it have to do with anyone else’s father?"

While Li Pengcheng’s words seemed defensive, they actually confirmed that Ye Qiu’s gambling had contributed to the divorce of Li Chengyu and Ye Chan.

Watching this shameless display on TV, Ye Chan outside the screen huffed with fury.

The interviewer on TV then asked, "Oh? So, are you saying that it’s because your daughter-in-law’s father is a gambler who’s accumulated too much debt, and your son couldn’t stand such a father-in-law and that’s why they divorced?"

"We never said that. Okay, today is a charity gala, so let’s not discuss our family matters. I assure everyone that my son’s divorce won’t affect his work, and Pengcheng Group will not be affected by such a trivial matter in the stock market. Thank you all for your concern," Li Pengcheng replied.

"They are slandering!" Ye Chan declared indignantly.

"Oh, come on, it’s not worth getting angry over such a trivial matter," Ye Qiu said unconcernedly.

"But they are framing you."

"Just because they say so, does it make it true? Anyone with eyes can see what kind of life I’m living now. Such easily exposed lies, who will be criticized when they come to light in the future? You should be happy they made this foolish mistake," he replied.

"But I don’t want people to wrongly accuse you," Ye Chan said sadly, "It’s clearly Li Chengyu’s fault that we got divorced."

"You said it yourself, it’s his fault. The truth cannot be faked, and the fake can’t become true. When Li Chengyu’s child is born, won’t people be able to judge for themselves?" Ye Qiu said.

Ye Qiu paused and then added, "Actually, we don’t need to wait a few months, everyone will soon know whether I really am a gambling addict."

"What do you mean?"

"Dad won’t tell now, it’ll be a surprise for you when the time comes!"
