Chapter 107 After years of struggle, I still have zero points!
Yuan Sizhe's pressure was too great; his relentless questioning left Yuan Niaoniao defenseless.
Startled, she backed away and landed on the ground with a thud.
"That's not how it is, brother, let me explain..."
Yuan Niaoniao panicked and was at a loss. She instinctively wanted to explain, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't speak.
What is she trying to explain? She was the one who did those things.
But why wouldn't Yuan Sizhe know? That shouldn't be the case!
She did it flawlessly, so many years have passed, where exactly did things go wrong?
Seeing Yuan Niaoniao's shifty eyes and her attempt to find excuses, Yuan Sizhe felt only disgust.
He called out towards the door, "Jian Chuxia, see the guests out."
Jian Chuxia, quick-witted, immediately pushed open the door and entered, giving Yuan Niaoniao a formal gesture of invitation.
Immediately, he stepped forward and, with a strong pull, helped Yuan Niaoniao up.
He didn't let go, but half-helped and half-dragged Yuan Niaoniao out of the office.
Jian Chuxia only truly relaxed after watching Yuan Niaoniao leave the company building.
It scared her to death!
Having followed Mr. Yuan for so long, this is the first time I've been called by his full name. Clearly, my patience has reached its limit.
Yuan Niaoniao is a ruthless person; she managed to push Young Master Yuan to this extent.
Wonderful!
Please don't come again. It's fine if you mess with CEO Yuan, but she's just an assistant and doesn't want to be messed with too!
Yuan Yangyang looked around the house she would be living in and reserved the biggest and best room for herself.
Without any hesitation, she said to Yuan Si'an, "Fifth Brother, this room is too bright. Staying here for a long time will definitely be bad for your eyes."
"Fifth Brother, why don't you stay in the room across the street? It's not too bright there, and you'll definitely sleep soundly!"
"You heartless little brat!"
Yuan Si'an made a sarcastic remark but didn't really take it to heart.
The house was fully prepared, with all the household items readily available.
The two took their belongings out of their suitcases and put them away before heading to the film set together.
Today is Yuan Yangyang's first day officially joining the crew. We agreed that she would arrive at 10 o'clock, so she can't let the schedule slip up.
Yuan Yangyang, accompanied by Yuan Si'an, came to the film crew for the second time.
Last time I came here to have fun, but this time I'm here to work.
The role change should have been nerve-wracking, but reality didn't give Yuan Yangyang any chance to be nervous.
As soon as Yuan Yangyang entered the dressing room, she heard the beautiful women gossiping about the Lan family, and she immediately perked up her ears to listen.
Gossip A: "Breaking news, the Lan family is in big trouble this time. If things go wrong, their influence in the entertainment industry might be shaken."
Gossipmonger B: "Is it that serious? Really?!"
A: "My uncle's brother-in-law's son-in-law's niece, one of her classmates' parents works for the Lan family. She said that last night, Mr. Lan and his wife argued for half the night, and Mr. Lan smashed the living room to pieces."
Everyone: "This is so intense. President Lan usually seems to be quite emotionally stable. Everyone says that President Lan dotes on his wife, but it seems that's not always the case."
Gossip A: "What do you know? This can't be blamed on President Lan. If it were you guys, you might have gone even crazier."
"You all saw the news yesterday, right? Lan's stock price plummeted, and the company's cash flow is probably in trouble, but that's not important."
Guess what? Perhaps because of company matters, Mr. Lan wanted to use his personal account for short-term cash flow, only to discover that all the money in his name was gone.
[Um, this news isn't accurate either. They clearly only started checking my assets because they found out I'd been cheated on.]
It's pointless to investigate; the opportunity is already too late.
Someone asked curiously, "Huh? Mr. Lan's personal account? How much money is in there? Could it have been stolen?"
Baguajia shook his head and said in a profound and unfathomable way, "You are still young and don't understand. There's a saying that it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice, "Mrs. Lan has transferred all of President Lan's money! Not a single penny is left. If it weren't for the problems that have arisen in President Lan's company this time, he would still be in the dark!"
"President Lan quickly checked all his other assets, and guess what?"
Seeing that she was keeping everyone in suspense, the others urged, "What happened? Tell us quickly!"
Yuan Yangyang sat to the side, being dressed and made up while listening to the gossip with an air of nonchalance.
She wasn't in a hurry at all, because this part of the plot was in the book.
Can't help but complain.
What else can we do? We'll be left with absolutely nothing! Our pockets will be emptier than our faces!
Yuan Si'an's thoughts were also stirred, and he had a feeling that he had just expected it.
Bagua Jia exaggeratedly said, "President Lan discovered that apart from his 25% stake in Lan's Group, all his other assets and investments have disappeared."
"ah?!!"
Bagua Jia continued to explain, "The Lan family's properties were originally managed by Madam Lan, and all the properties were registered in her name."
Madam Lan owns 30% of the company's shares. It's said that these shares were supposed to be transferred to Young Master Lan a long time ago, but Madam Lan has been holding onto them and hasn't given them to him yet.
Miss Lan still owns 20% of the shares, while poor Young Master Lan suffers in the company but only has 5% of the shares. He's practically a pure wage earner.
As for the investments that Mr. Lan had previously favored, Mrs. Lan, under the pretext of learning how to manage them, secretly cashed them all out.
"Ah?!!" Everyone sighed. "That President Lan is too pitiful! After years of hard work, he still comes back with zero points."
Even the smartest people can stumble in the gutter, and Lan's mother was Lan's gutter—there was no escaping it.
[Since we're going to break up sooner or later anyway, it's good to see clearly who's on the other side sooner rather than later.]
[Otherwise, if he were to share a bed with someone like Madam Lan for a few more years, he probably wouldn't even have 25% of the shares left!]
"It's not exactly zero points, but it's certainly pretty bad."
"The eldest son of the Lan family is even worse off, only five percent. Is he even her biological son? What mother would do this!"
After everyone had finished expressing their feelings, the gossip expert spoke again.
"I heard that President Lan is furious and wants a divorce over this!"
"Really? Divorcing into a wealthy family is no easy thing."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to make it."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed.
Yuan Yangyang recalled the plot of the book and was filled with emotion.
The Lan family couple are utterly incompetent; neither of them is particularly bright.
[Mr. Lan could at least say he loved the wrong person, but Mrs. Lan was simply stupid.]
Yuan Si'an pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
In the book, all of Lan's mother's money was transferred to the person she liked.
[Originally, the man was just testing her the first time, but who knew that Lan's mother was so easily fooled? She believed everything he said, and before she knew it, she had emptied her family's savings.]
[Even so, Lan's mother actually believed that the other party was genuinely good to her; all he had to do was use his words to win her over completely.]
[Later, even after the divorce, he recklessly took Lan Sitong abroad to find that man; he was incredibly stupid.]
While eating melon seeds, Yuan Sizhe speculated about what would happen next.
Men, what good can they possibly have? They must think Madam Lan and her daughter are worthless now, so they've turned their backs on them.
But to his surprise, the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
