She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Shao Yan called the old man and said she had something important to discuss.

Upon arriving at the old house, the old man warmly welcomed her.

During this time, he heard that Meng Yu had secured a cooperation with the military, and the old man was in a good mood, so he rarely interfered in his affairs.

Upon seeing Shao Yan, the old man knew that she had played a part in this, and immediately ordered the servants to serve tea.

"Grandpa, you said last time that you would transfer 10% of the company shares to me if I agreed to be a surrogate for Ayu and Pei Rongrong, right?"

The old man nodded: "Of course, you're willing to sacrifice for our Meng family, so ten percent is nothing."

As long as Shao Yan is kept, the Meng Group can earn even more in the future.

Shao Yan immediately took out the pregnancy test report.

"Ayu arranged a doctor and nursing team for me, and also found me a very nice place to stay so I could have a baby in peace. This is my pregnancy test report today."

She mustered her courage and handed over the report.

The old man took it and looked at it; sure enough, she was pregnant.

"So fast? I heard you haven't been at the company lately. Did Yu fire you?"

"This was discussed with Ah Yu. He said that if I resigned on my own, it might cause controversy and have a negative impact—"

At this point, Shao Yan lowered her head and feigned sadness. She paused for a moment and choked up as she said, "It would affect Pei Rongrong's reputation in the company, so they found a fault with me and fired me. In reality, they arranged for me to have his child."

The old man looked at Shao Yan for a long time. He trusted Shao Yan's character and conduct in the Meng family over the past few years.

Although it is full of flaws, having many flaws is the same as having no flaws.

The old man actually believed it.

"Okay, I'll call a lawyer right away. From now on, this child will be registered in your name. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's your and Ayu's child."

Shao Yan lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Grandpa."

The lawyer arrived quickly, and the old man promised to transfer 10% of the Meng Group's shares to Shao Yan's name. There was an agreement, a notary, and the old man also pressed his fingerprint on it.

Only after receiving these did Shao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As Shao Yan stepped out of the old house, she felt as if the sky had turned blue.

"Mom, the Meng family owes me far more than ten percent. Don't worry, I will get back tenfold or a hundredfold what we helped them back then."

She took the agreement and quickly went to the bank to put it in her safe. Then she changed her clothes and took a taxi to her Honda Fit.

Sitting in her office, Shao Yan's heart was still pounding.

A phone rang, and she almost jumped out of her seat.

It's Meng Yu again.

Shao Yan thought that the old man must not have seen Meng Yu for a while to give him the shares so readily.

If she completely ignores Meng Yu, he might ask the old man to find a way to force her. Then their scheme will be exposed.

"President Meng."

Shao Yan could only slide to answer the call.

"Come to the company immediately."

Shao Yan didn't know what had triggered Meng Yu's outburst; he had been acting crazy since last night and showed no signs of calming down.

"I'm not in the North City."

Shao Yan had no choice but to lie.

She could sense that something was wrong with Meng Yu. At Huo Xiao's godfather's dinner party, she inadvertently discovered that Meng Yu's gaze kept following her.

Moreover, when he called him last night, Huo Xiao even spoke up, suggesting that Meng Yu might be in love with her.

At this point, it was even less likely that she would see him.

"Shao Yan, don't try anything funny with me."

Shao Yan sneered, "President Meng, do you remember when you fired me from the Meng Group? What do you mean by bringing me back now?"

She hung up the phone immediately.

Just as Meng Yu was about to call back, Ye Xin rushed in in a panic.

"President Meng, something terrible has happened! Old Cao is in trouble, and our project has been rejected."

Meng Yu was instantly startled, staring at Ye Xin's face: "What did you say?"

Ye Xin looked panicked.

"The secretary on Cao Lao's side informed me that Cao Lao has been investigated and punished. Now everything he has handled must be put on hold and awaits investigation and punishment from higher authorities."

The program we intended to sell to the military is currently pending processing and is no longer allowed to be traded.

Meng Yu was sweating profusely. How could this be?

He no longer had the mind to care about Shao Yan and planned to go to the Pei family to find Pei Rongrong and see if she could help him find a solution.

Shao Yan had just hung up the phone when Han Yifei arrived.

"Did you see today's news?"

Shao Yan didn't know who he was talking about; she'd been too busy these past few days to keep up with the news.

"The Meng Group's project with the man surnamed Cao fell through, the man surnamed Cao was investigated, and Meng Yu's cooperation with the military also ended."

Shao Yan was still a little confused when Han Yifei said calmly, "The boss will have a private online meeting with you at 3 pm this afternoon. Be prepared."

Han Yifei left after speaking, leaving Shao Yan alone, still unable to process what he had said.

If Meng Yu's cooperation with Cao Lao ends, then the program she designed for the military, the one she brought to the Fit, can be reactivated.

Shao Yan waited anxiously until the afternoon, and sure enough, the "boss" connected with her on the voice call on time.

"Vice President Shao, have you reviewed what happened with Old Cao last time?"

As expected, the retribution Shao Yan had anticipated arrived. It was that same deep voice that sounded somewhat familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

But she couldn't remember for a moment, so Shao Yan answered honestly.

"have no idea."

The man on the other end of the meeting scoffed: "You're quite honest. Overconfident, you didn't do any serious background checks on your partners or competitors. Cao Wang was found to have problems a month ago, and the higher-ups have been investigating him ever since."

Whoever took on this project would have failed and been implicated. It's incredibly fortunate that we at Fit didn't take on this hot potato.

Shao Yan didn't know whether this was a compliment or an insult.

The "boss" then gave her a lot of pointers, which Shao Yan listened to attentively and even took notes.

The meeting lasted an hour and a half. Shao Yan thought he would take the opportunity to remind her to be on time for get off work and not to slack off.

Unexpectedly, the "boss" only gave a summary of her current work and asked her to write a work report and upload it to the company's internal group within three days for everyone to see.

Shao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the owner of the Fit was indeed no ordinary person.

She secretly admired this person's tolerance and his high level of knowledge in the business field.

She was thoroughly convinced by the lesson and it wasn't hard to understand why, despite her desperate efforts to help the Meng Group become the top business leader in Beicheng, she always ran into a brick wall with the Fit.

There is still a certain gap between her and others.

Shao Yan thought that even if she were given a few more years, she might not be able to compete with the mysterious big shot, Fit.

Han Yifei waited for her to finish the meeting before coming over to inquire about the process.

"how?"

"well enough."

Shao Yan didn't dare to speak ill of the boss behind his back. Han Yifei nodded and was about to leave when Shao Yan called him back.

"I feel like the boss's voice sounds familiar. Is it someone we know? What's the boss's full name?"

Han Yifei smiled. "You'll find out eventually. No rush—"
