Chapter 346 Returning to Tianjin
On the way back to Tianjin.

Xu Wei's wife, Yuan Feng, remained silent.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan said he wanted to call the police and classify the matter as a fraud case that she finally asked, "Will this work? Although I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, I suspect that more than half of his money was lent out under the guise of investment..."

"We'll handle this as a special case!"

Zhang Yan was still confident. He had been operating in Tianjin for so long. If he couldn't even handle a fraud case, wouldn't he have wasted his time?
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng sighed and said with a wry smile, "If he had asked you for help earlier, Mr. Zhang, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."

Not necessarily.

Although Zhang Yan was confident he could handle the matter, he probably wouldn't have put in so much effort if Xu Wei hadn't gone to the point of suicidal thoughts and depression.

Taking advantage of Yuan Feng's opening remarks, Zhang Yan asked, "What are your plans for coming to Tianjin this time?"

“I want to take him back to our hometown and take care of him.”

Yuan Feng replied without hesitation, "Since he's my man, I definitely won't abandon him!"

"Is this..."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "What did you study at the military academy?"

Yuan Feng was taken aback, wondering why President Zhang was suddenly asking this question, and whether it had anything to do with the current situation.
However, she answered truthfully, "I studied logistics management."

"Oh."

Zhang Yan nodded, and then nothing more was said.

Although Yuan Feng found it a bit strange, she wasn't in the mood to speak anyway, so she was happy to remain silent.

After arriving in Tianjin, Zhang Yan first contacted Chen Hong to confirm that Xu Wei was at the Medical University's main campus, and then drove Yuan Feng there directly.

When Yuan Feng saw Xu Wei lying on the hospital bed, looking dazed and dejected, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She quickly stepped forward and called out to Xu Wei. Seeing that Xu Wei didn't react, she moved closer and sat down next to him.

Xu Wei finally turned his gaze over. When he saw his wife, he was first dazed and incredulous, then he shrank back in shame.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan told Chen Hong and Wang Jinghua to leave. But as soon as they closed the door, they heard Xu Wei wailing loudly inside.

All three of them couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.

It wasn't that no one had warned Xu Wei before, nor that no one had tried to help him; Xu Wei got to this point entirely because of his own actions.

However, after a short meeting in the stairwell, the three of them reached a consensus: they could not give up on Xu Wei, at least not now.

Although he brought this upon himself, and simply abandoning him probably wouldn't have a significant impact, giving him a helping hand at this time would definitely boost the company's internal cohesion.

Zhang Yan was preparing to use his connections to define this matter as fraud, precisely because of this consideration.

Since such a great deal of effort has already been put in, the performance must be carried out completely.

"What I mean is, it would be best to keep the couple in Tianjin, where the treatment conditions are better, and it would also better reflect our company's care for its artists."

"But Yuan Feng is about to graduate from military academy..."

"Don't worry about that."

Zhang Yan said, "Doesn't the August 1st Film and Television Base also have many military personnel? We can use our connections at the August 1st Film Studio to transfer her personnel in advance, so she can intern first and then join the company."

As for the arrangements for Xu Wei himself, we need to hear what the experts have to say before making a decision.

Wang Jinghua had no objection to this. She was originally the kind of manager who acted like a parent and preferred to stay in a warm and welcoming "big family".

Chen Hong actually felt it was unnecessary to put in so much effort, since Yuanmeng was currently at its peak and didn't lack internal cohesion.

But since Zhang Yan and Wang Jinghua have both said so, she naturally won't jump out and disagree.

After the three of them finished discussing the matter, they were about to return to the ward to check on the situation when they found Li Songqiang, Teng Ge'er, Gao Feng, and Sun Yue guarding the door.

"This is what you are doing?"

"General Manager Zhang, General Manager Chen, Sister Hua."

The four men quickly greeted each other, and then Tenggeer showed Zhang Yan the black plastic bag in his hand: "Xiao Xu invested 20 yuan in our restaurant. We've wanted to return it to him for a long time, but he refused to accept it and even got into a fight with us... Now that his wife is here, we plan to return it directly to her." These singers have different personalities, but most of them are quite generous when it comes to money, but unfortunately, sometimes their generosity goes too far.

As Tenggeer spoke, he handed over the plastic bag, saying, "Why don't you, Mr. Zhang, pass this on for us? We'll..."

"Just give her the money directly."

Zhang Yan didn't take it, but turned to Wang Jinghua and said, "Jinghua, you and Song Qiang can take care of things here for now. President Chen and I will come over first thing tomorrow morning."

The crowd quickly escorted the two of them out.

Seeing that Chen Hong looked tired, Zhang Yan told her to leave the Tiger Head Ben at the hospital for the time being.

On the way, Chen Hong rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Starting a company is really troublesome. There are no new employees yet. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to manage when there are more people."

While driving, Zhang Yan said, "Those who act and dance are probably easier to manage than those who do music, but we do need to strengthen our management team. I'm planning to mention it to Chang Jihong and Lao Liu so they can take on more of the work."

"Chang Jihong is easy to talk to."

Chen Hong cautioned, "It's best not to let Lao Liu handle the money directly. He's a good person in other respects, but sometimes he's greedy for small gains."

The two chatted about company matters all the way back to the villa. As soon as they got out of the car, they heard the Border Collie barking at the door.

"They've already been released from the cage?"

“Our dad really likes them, and they’ve been quite tame by now.”

The two walked in hand in hand. As soon as they opened the door, a Border Collie tried to run out, but Zhang Yan kicked it back. The Collie then raised its front paws and whimpered as if it were paying a New Year's greeting.

At this moment, Zhang Xingguo also came out to greet them. Upon seeing his son and daughter-in-law, he immediately said, "Have you eaten yet? Your mother said you would be back tonight, so she specially made your favorite soup, which has been kept warm in the pressure cooker."

"I really haven't had time to eat."

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Looks like I'm in for a treat today."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Hong beside him.

Chen Hong also laughed and said, "I've been missing my mom's cooking too."

Since setting the wedding date, she took the initiative to change how she addressed the elderly couple, making them smile from ear to ear.

After the two followed Zhang Xingguo inside, Sun Xiaohong had already ladled out the soup and brought it out of the kitchen on a tray. As she walked, she said, "Try it while it's hot. I noticed that this chicken is a bit different from the breed we have back home. See if it still tastes the same."

"This was made by you, it's all..."

Just as Zhang Yan was about to cheer up his mother, Chen Hong suddenly changed her expression, let go of Zhang Yan's arm, covered her mouth, and rushed out.

Zhang Yan didn't react for a moment, and only after Chen Hong rushed out the door did he belatedly realize what was happening and chase after her.

When they went outside, they saw Chen Hong leaning against the wall, vomiting into the flower bed. The two Border Collies jumped and hopped over to her.

Zhang Yan quickly grabbed a broom from the doorway and shooed them away. While gently patting Chen Hong's back, he asked, "Are you alright? Why did you suddenly start vomiting?"

Chen Hong shook her head, not bothering to speak, and continued to dry heave.

At this moment, Sun Xiaohong and Zhang Xingguo also came out. Seeing their daughter-in-law like this, the old couple exchanged a glance and asked, "Could it be that she's pregnant?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Since the Lunar New Year, the two had not taken any precautions, so it was perfectly normal for Chen Hong to get pregnant.

Zhang Yan immediately grabbed Chen Hong's arm and said, "How about we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Zhang Xingguo and Sun Xiaohong were also very enthusiastic later on.

Chen Hong disagreed. She thought it would be embarrassing if such a big fuss led to a mistake. Since she was going to visit Xu Wei in the hospital tomorrow anyway, she might as well get him checked out then.

After Chen Hong finished vomiting and returned to the house, the elderly couple's excitement subsided slightly, and they began to worry again.

If it really is morning sickness, then the baby should be about a month and a half old. By July 18th, the baby will be four months old. Please don't let it affect the wedding.

Zhang Yan shrugged and said, "The wedding itself isn't a big problem, but the honeymoon in Europe is probably going to fall through."
