CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 66: HIDDEN AGENDAS (PART 2)
"Mom," Chang Chi ultimately understood Chang Mei, she said coyly, nestling into Chang Mei’s embrace, "I am your only daughter, don’t be angry anymore. Instead, think about how to take Su Ziceng down a notch, that damn girl."
"The sharpness of the young should certainly be blunted, otherwise how will you learn how high the sky is or how thick the earth is? I also don’t want Ziceng jumping around too happily, ruining my years of hard work," so the Subi Auction House must be completely in the hands of her own daughter, Chang Mei thought to herself, indulging Chang Chi in her coquettish behavior.
The Subi Auction House, this auction house that had been forgotten by everyone, suddenly became a covetous treasure in the eyes of the Su, Yang, and Chang Family’s mother and daughter.
In the face of the competition from both sides, Su Qingzhang adopted the stance of a bystander. The inevitable overt and covert battles between the women of the family, he couldn’t favor any side.
Su Ziceng was communicating with Secretary Wang, intensifying their collection of various antiques and paintings nationwide, but bad news kept coming.
"The few places we had originally found have all been asked, and nothing more can be found," Secretary Wang reported to Su and Yang, their auction items were very limited, at most sustaining only a few more events.
"What about other places?" Yang Wuxu was even more anxious than Su Ziceng.
"Those are all acquaintances of Secretary Chang, so the items have long been taken away, and they are offering a higher price, our budget here is limited," Secretary Wang shook his head as he spoke.
Su Qingzhang split the original funds provided to the Subi Auction House into two, as well as the auction items Su Ziceng and her team had previously collected.
"Isn’t this blatant bullying," Su Ziceng saw Yang Wuxu storming out angrily, trying to persuade her not to be too agitated, after all, she was just over a month pregnant and needed to be careful.
Who knew Yang Wuxu walked even faster, finding a driver and rushing straight to the Su Family. Su Ziceng couldn’t stop her, and hurriedly dialed a call to Su Qingzhang’s office.
Su Qingzhang was in a meeting at the time, and when Chang Mei heard that it was Yang Wuxu, she had people block her at the door.
Who knew Yang Wuxu, emboldened by her pregnancy, ignored the attempts of the young secretaries to stop her and tried to head for the conference room.
Su Qingzhang was reviewing an important project, which had been at a standoff for days with no result, and when he heard the noise outside the door, he grew even more irritated.
"What’s all the noise," as Su Qingzhang stepped out, he saw Chang Mei standing at the entrance of the conference room, while Yang Wuxu was pointing at her and cursing loudly.
"Qingzhang," when Yang Wuxu saw him, her momentum immediately intensified.
"You are a decent married woman, you should be taking care of your pregnancy at home, what are you doing out here, go back." Su Family’s employees gathered around to watch the excitement, even the project managers from other companies who were discussing in the meeting room came out.
Moving family disputes into the company, the project managers, witnessing the scene, left one after another, further lowering their impression of the Su Family.
Su Qingzhang suppressed his anger, sent the managers away, and upon returning, severely scolded Yang Wuxu.
"Subi belongs to our Su Family, from now on you are not allowed to meddle," Su Qingzhang told Yang Wuxu, he had reached the edge of his patience. He had agreed to have a child with her, now what else did she want, "After the child is born, you’re going to stay home and take care of them, you can’t go anywhere."
Yang Wuxu also knew she had messed up today, and in a rush, reached out to grab Su Qingzhang. Who knew Chang Mei stepped in front of the two and took Su Qingzhang’s hand, leading him outside.
Seeing this, Yang Wuxu refused to be outdone and tried to grab Su Qingzhang’s right hand, but stuck in the middle, Su Qingzhang snorted coldly and pulled both hands free.
Women, every woman was vying, vying for his money, Su Qingzhang looked at the two faces and felt more and more estranged, holding back a bellyful of fire, he walked out alone.
"Chang Mei, you shameless old hag," Yang Wuxu watched Su Qingzhang leave and unleashed her unbridled curses towards Chang Mei.
Chang Mei ignored her, turning around to walk away, the curses intensifying behind her.
Chang Mei left the Su Family, and from a distance, saw the driver who had brought Yang Wuxu. She approached a bit closer and said to the driver taking her money, yet now heeding Yang Wuxu’s expressions, "Go upstairs to pick up the mistress, she’s feeling a bit unwell."
The driver hurried to go upstairs, and Chang Mei, watching the empty driver’s seat, turned around and sternly told a few of Su Family’s security guards, "This car is getting pretty old, get it fixed up properly."
When Yang Wuxu came down, surrounded by flattering words from Su Family’s employees, she walked with a lighter step, thinking in a few days the Su Family would fall into her hands.
"Madam, please get in the car," the driver saw the composed Yang Wuxu, a bit puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask more questions, promptly opened the door to help Yang Wuxu into the car, and the vehicle headed towards the Su residence. Yang Wuxu was still calculating, "It’s time to have Su Qingzhang set up a fund for their son. I heard that Ziceng has a 5-million fund, the Su Family’s eldest son should at least have a 10-million fund." Thinking of this, Yang Wuxu settled into the luxury car of the Su Family.
The car had only reached halfway when another vehicle followed from behind, Fei Qing, after a night of revelry, was driving by near Su Family’s private car, caught a clear glimpse of Yang Wuxu inside, and began to frantically honk the horn.
Yang Wuxu signaled the driver to ignore it, and the car sped up a bit. Fei Qing followed suit, and the two cars raced along the highway. When they reached a fork in the road, the driver’s foot suddenly hit the brake... (To be continued.
