Capítulo 1578: Chapter 1579: The Girl with Three Failures 86

In the morning, on her way to work, Zhang Yu met Jiang Lili again downstairs.

She immediately recognized the car in front of her. Indeed, Miss Jiang had been driving this car for quite a while, and the last time she caused a scene, she was driving this same car.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt a wave of emotion; if it weren’t for Jiang Lili’s stubbornness back then, Mike wouldn’t have exposed those things, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Jiang Lili was expected to continue flaunting herself in the company, still followed by a group of sycophants.

However, it’s not that Jiang’s family’s reputation has tarnished, but rather no one wants to cater to her or be her little follower anymore.

Everyone knows that being Jiang Lili’s follower brings nothing good; once you leave the company, there’s no foothold in City S.

Oh, and there was also gossip about how Jiang Lili would call others troublemakers and make a scene, making everyone view her as very harsh.

Zhang Yu never asked Jiang Lili if she regretted it, but she guessed she probably did.

Watching Zhang Yu walk in front of her, Jiang Lili once again felt an urge to run over her with the car, but she could only think about it.

The last time she blocked her, it led to so many subsequent reactions, making her wary of doing something foolish again.

Jiang Lili had now moved into a union job, which was just a boring post; she had no choice since her original team had dismissed her.

Many departments didn’t want to accept her, so they put her in the union job. There’s no specific work, just a tiny office for her, and no one cares if she’s working or not; she only receives a basic salary and an average bonus.

Jiang Lili didn’t care about money, but she was angry. She was the Jiang family’s eldest daughter; how could they treat her this way?

No matter how angry she was, she had to endure it, or she would have to quit.

Jiang Lili wanted to resign, not willing to wrong herself, but she was worried that once she quit, Old Master Jiang would know, and she wouldn’t get a larger inheritance.

Yes, for Old Master Jiang’s inheritance, she had to endure it. Now, looking at Zhang Yu’s bag, it was a classic LV model, but it was clearly second-hand.

Rumor had it that Zhang Yu had recently gone to Harbor City and even to Japan, where luxury second-hand stores are numerous; it definitely came from a second-hand shop.

Following Ye Zhuo, Zhang Yu had completed two projects but was reluctant to buy a new designer bag. Humph, it showed Ye Zhuo wasn’t generous either.

As Zhang Yu walked past Jiang Lili’s car, she noticed Jiang Lili’s unfriendly gaze, especially on her hands, realizing she must have heard about the second-hand bag.

Yes, technically it was a bag from her previous mission, a second-hand bag, but she still owned it.

After taking a few steps, she saw Jiang Lili’s car accelerate and make a sharp turn, leaving Zhang Yu stunned, “Is she not going to work?”

A colleague passing by said, “She doesn’t have to go to work.”

Zhang Yu thought about it, too. If they didn’t work, the boss would surely complain, but for Jiang Lili, as long as she behaved herself, it was acceptable.

Well, that’s just fate.

Zhang Yu was curious; Jiang Lili seemed like she was going to work. How could she just drive away after a turn?

Since Jiang Lili was kicked out of the project team, everyone had been counting down to see when this eldest daughter would resign.

Some even started betting pools, with many placing bets, but Zhang Yu didn’t participate.

It’s not that she didn’t want to; it was because she didn’t know when Old Master Jiang would pass away.

Yes, Zhang Yu knew Jiang Lili didn’t want to work, but to put on a good show in front of Old Master Jiang and become the final winner, she had to perform well.

Moreover, the money Old Master Jiang had given them was running out after more than half a year’s expenses. They had successfully sold a commercial property in the center of City S, for tens of millions.

According to insider information from Mike, Jiang Lili’s family probably didn’t have money again and was preparing to sell another property.

Last time Zhang Yu couldn’t buy it, but this time she planned to buy a shop not only because of its appreciation potential but also because it would piss off the Jiang family.

Originally, there was no rush; she could take her time, but now she felt the plan was urgent.

If she didn’t act quickly, the Jiang family’s downfall might accelerate, and she wouldn’t be able to find Jiang Lili to rub it in.

For example, her ex-boyfriend Cheng Jian, who drifted away with no trace.

She used to think Cheng Jian, used to the good life, wouldn’t want to leave Jiang Lili, and would soon return.

But the result was cruel; he never came back. Now the Jiang family was so notorious that anyone with a brain knew maintaining their current situation was good enough; returning to their former glory was impossible.

Zhang Yu went to the tea room to make a cup of tea and heard the explosive news, “Old Master Jiang is hospitalized?”

Everyone said Old Master Jiang wasn’t in good health, yet he was resting well at home despite the Jiang family’s earlier turmoil.

“Are you sure?” A colleague coming to make coffee immediately asked if the news was confirmed.

“It’s true; it’s even on the front page. And he was taken directly to the ICU, I heard.”

“That can’t be. He’d at least get checked first before going to ICU.”

“That’s right.” Everyone believed Old Master Jiang was indeed hospitalized, but going directly to the ICU seemed unlikely to them.

The source of the news was anxious, “It’s true.”

Zhang Yu honestly didn’t care if Old Master Jiang was in ICU; she was concerned that this Fixed Sea Needle of the Jiang family was hospitalized, which was good news.

A near-90-year-old going to the hospital wasn’t good, particularly with Old Master Jiang’s children, who paid careful attention to appearances, avoiding hospitals unless completely necessary.

After all, someone like him had private nurses, a personal doctor regularly visiting, and home medical facilities, so hospitalization was rare.

Just as she reached the team area, she heard Mike on the phone ordering a funeral wreath. Zhang Yu’s first thought was that Old Master Jiang had kicked the bucket.

With such news early in the morning, along with the ICU talk, it seemed normal that he might be deceased.

With Old Master Jiang passing away, it was likely the entire Jiang family would be in chaos. People had been restless before, only restrained by Old Master Jiang’s face, with no actions taken.

Now that he’s gone, is there any need to give the Jiang family respect?
