Chapter 143 The Noblewoman
An Ying felt a little embarrassed by the noblewoman's eager gaze.
The lady appeared to be around forty or fifty years old, with some signs of age, but her skin remained fair and delicate.
Her long, black hair fell smoothly over her shoulders.
Her smile was charming, her eyes were lively, yet she remained dignified.
If you didn't look closely, you would definitely mistake her for a woman in her thirties at most.
With such a beautiful woman, her child will surely be very good-looking.
The noblewoman squinted and kept scrutinizing An Ying.
The way he looked at it was as if he were looking at a precious treasure.
The more you look, the deeper the smile in his eyes becomes.
An Ying was somewhat bewildered by this situation.
The lady was sitting next to several DM executives, whom An Ying had seen in the news before.
But who is this woman?
An Ying greeted Fu Haidong: "Hello, Chairman."
He then turned around and greeted the group of bank executives behind Fu Haidong.
A man in a suit who looked like an assistant stepped out from behind the lady and handed An Ying his business card.
"Hello, Manager An. This is Ms. Yin Mei, an honorary director of DM Bank Group."
An Ying hurriedly accepted the business card with both hands and respectfully said, "Hello, Director Yin."
Yin Mei smiled and nodded slightly.
Fu Haidong glanced at Yin Mei.
I just felt my mouth and throat were dry.
This extraordinary ex-wife, who hasn't returned to China in ages, just happened to choose this crucial moment.
He said to An Ying in an annoyed tone, "Do you know why I called you up here?"
An Ying thought for a moment and answered truthfully:
"The chairman probably wants to talk to me about the media frenzy last night."
Fu Haidong snorted: She does speak her mind, neither complaining nor throwing a tantrum.
Fu Haidong cleared his throat and began to speak:
"Although our Fu Group has already issued a clarification, this matter is of great importance. The fact that internal confidential documents could be leaked, misused by malicious individuals, and then maliciously disseminated shows that your work has been seriously inadequate!"
"Although the negative online criticism has subsided somewhat, there is still a lot of discussion about you. If you can't provide evidence to prove your innocence..."
"An Ying, don't blame me for being heartless." Fu Haidong coughed lightly.
"To protect the reputation of the Fu family, I have no choice but to use the law to safeguard the interests of the Fu Group."
"In the future, there will be no place for you in either the Fu family or the entire Fu Group."
After listening to Fu Haidong's speech, Yin Mei tilted her head and curled up the corners of her mouth.
Fu Haidong spoke with great passion and indignation.
Then he launched into a paternalistic lecture.
After finally getting to the point where he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.
An Ying listened quietly.
She understood.
Isn't this just a way of forcing her to resign?
If you really can't stand it, just quit and leave.
To outsiders, wouldn't she appear to be the one with a guilty conscience?
Others increasingly felt that there was something wrong with her.
Fu Haidong probably felt that his tone just now might have been a bit too harsh.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Many of the senior leaders of DM present here are old friends of mine. They all saw what happened yesterday, and I don't know how to explain this to my friends..."
When Fu Haidong uttered the word "good friend," Yin Mei covered her mouth and scoffed softly.
Fu Haidong glared at her.
Yin Mei was completely unconcerned about Fu Haidong's angry glare.
She drank her tea from her small teacup, oblivious to everything else.
Her light sneer just now made Fu Haidong feel extremely ironic.
After so many years of divorce, the two can hardly be considered friends.
That major divorce case turned the two of them into almost enemies.
The two of them were merely concerned about Fu Chengli's reputation and maintaining the basic decorum expected of parents.
Fu Haidong felt that he had made his point very clearly.
This practically cornered An Ying.
Either swallow your anger and start anew.
Or... pack your bags and slink away.
Every choice Fu Haidong gave was to leave An Ying to suffer injustice and fend for herself.
After a long silence, An Ying said apologetically:
"I'm sorry for the trouble, but..."
An Ying straightened her expression and said very seriously, "I was framed. I did not do those things and have never sold any company confidential documents."
"I will definitely find out who framed me and who smeared the Fu family behind my back."
"I do not accept unwarranted accusations and being sidelined."
An Ying spoke each word with conviction.
Fu Haidong frowned. Why was this little girl so stubborn?!
After listening to An Ying's words, a man who looked like a senior executive whispered a few words to Yin Mei.
The two were very close together, sitting very close to each other.
After the man finished speaking, Yin Mei gave him a sweet smile.
Seeing this scene, Fu Haidong felt as if something had pierced his heart.
It hurt a little.
It only hurt for about 0.1 seconds.
Fu Haidong shook his head.
An illusion, it must be an illusion!
After shaking for a while, the "illusion" didn't disappear, but a few white hairs did fall out.
Yin Mei pondered for a long time.
She turned to look at An Ying and said, "Actually, I didn't want this to happen either."
"DW Bank originally had tens of billions of dollars allocated to the QS project and subsequent energy projects. Although many people suggested we invest the funds in other projects, given the current situation of the Fu family..."
Yin Mei glanced at Fu Haidong.
"Given the current situation, I have decided to retain this portion of the funds for now, and other projects will not be pursued."
"All cooperation between DW Bank and the Fu family has been suspended."
Fu Haidong's expression changed drastically.
He jumped to his feet, angrily saying:
"Yin Mei! What are you doing! This isn't what your executive director told me before!"
Yin Mei leaned back, rested her arm on the low sofa back, and propped her head up to look at Fu Haidong.
She spoke languidly and slowly:
“Fu Haidong, DW Bank is my family’s business. I can invest this money however I want. What’s it to you?”
Fu Haidong: "You!"
Yin Mei smiled and said, "We'll talk about cooperation again once the Fu family has resolved its internal conflicts."
Fu Haidong wanted nothing more than to smash the teacup in his hand at her.
What a heartless woman! She's so stingy!
They don't care about any of the affection they once had as husband and wife!
Fu Haidong gripped the teacup tightly in his hand.
They originally thought that if An Ying's QS project was ruined, so be it; DW's money was just sitting idle anyway, so they might as well have them give Lai Yuqiang's work a big boost.
As a result, people can turn on you in an instant.
Now, this "vicious" woman doesn't want to spend a single penny.
Fu Haidong was furious.
It's not that the Fu family didn't have money, but rather that they didn't have it in their hands.
If this new project takes off, Grandpa Fu will eventually look at his second son with new respect.
The atmosphere in the office turned cold again.
An Ying was caught in the middle, unsure whether to stand or sit.
At that moment, the door to the chairman's office was pushed open.
Fu Chengli strode in, not even waiting for Fu Haidong to say "please come in" before entering on his own.
His cold, sharp eyes swept around the room.
He glanced at An Ying almost imperceptibly.
