Chapter 135 Chess Pieces
Lai Yuqiang turned around and went back to her office.
He took out a pack of women's cigarettes and a lighter from the drawer and slowly lit them.
She looked down at her phone screen.
I stared at the photos the other party had sent me.
After a moment's thought, his fingers tapped rapidly on the screen.
"Of course I want them, especially the ones for exchanging USB drives. Give them all to me; I need them very much."
Click Send.
Then I dialed Fu Haidong's number.
Fu Haidong's voice sounded somewhat reluctant: "Hello? What do you want?"
Lai Yuqiang said seriously, "Chairman, I have a new idea regarding the energy project."
Fu Haidong sneered: "You've already been kicked out by my rebellious son, what else do you want to do?"
Lai Yuqiang curled her lips into a smile: "Chairwoman, the project is still in its early stages. Anything is possible, how can we give up so easily?"
After a few seconds of silence, Fu Haidong asked, "What do you think?"
Lai Yuqiang took a deep breath, paused, and said in a very pained tone:
“Recently, someone told me that someone was selling company information and secretly taking kickbacks to seek personal gain.”
Fu Haidong angrily retorted, "Nonsense!"
Lai Yuqiang took a deep drag on her cigarette and said quietly, "I have evidence."
Fu Haidong: "Who is this? How dare they?"
Lai Yuqiang changed the subject: "Chairman, if you can keep my father and my position, we can talk about everything."
She won't reveal her hand easily.
Fu Haidong understood the implication in her words and chuckled.
"Yu Qiang, about the time Fu Chengli removed your father from the board of directors, are you blaming me for not protecting him?"
Fu Haidong is like a seasoned, bureaucratic old fox.
“I understand your feelings. I’ve seen all the effort you’ve put into the company over the years. Think back to when Fu Chengli didn’t agree to you taking this position, but I still helped you get it. The situation is different now, and I have my own difficulties.”
Lai Yuqiang raised an eyebrow: "If I can prove everything I just said, you won't be able to find any fault with it, right?"
Fu Haidong laughed and said, "Of course."
After hanging up Fu Haidong's call, Lai Yuqiang thought for a moment and then picked up her phone again.
Lai Yuqiang: I called Lai Yangbo.
"Dad, is there any news from the Wu family?"
Lai Yangbo: "Hmph, those bald father and son from the Wu family, seeing that I haven't been in contact with Fu Haidong lately, they don't even invite me to dinner parties anymore. They're such snobs."
Lai Yuqiang continued, "I think this kickback thing can't be covered up forever. If it comes to light one day, we'll all suffer. We need to find a scapegoat as soon as possible."
Lai Yangbo was stunned: "Scapegoat? You... what do you want to do?"
His voice sounded a little nervous: "Last time you messed things up yourself, and it backfired..."
Lai Yuqiang was a little irritated: "Dad, do you think I want this? I was driven to the point where half of my body fell off the roof by that bitch An Ying. I almost died. When she gets to the top with even greater achievements, I'll be the one to suffer!"
Lai Yangbo: "What?! Fell to his death? Was it that new supervisor? Damn it, what right does a newbie like her have to bully you!"
Lai Yuqiang said aggrievedly, "Isn't it just because she has a good older brother protecting her, and she's become arrogant because she's spoiled!"
Lai Yangbo said angrily, "Daughter, this time you can do it without worry, Dad supports you!"
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yuqiang tossed it aside.
He stared indifferently at the cigarette between his fingers.
Senior, you're absolutely right. Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices.
So, you are no exception.
You insisted on protecting An Ying.
I hope you won't regret your choice.

As soon as Fu Haidong hung up the phone, Gao Lu hugged him from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Honey, who was that just now?"
Fu Haidong was fiddling with a set of golf clubs he had just bought.
“A little girl, Lai Yangbo’s daughter.”
Gao Lu asked in confusion, "You haven't been seeing President Lai as much lately. What happened to his daughter? Wasn't she doing well as the director of the marketing department?"
"You're doing just fine?" Fu Haidong sneered.
"If she were truly capable, she wouldn't be unable to defeat even An Ying. Now, she can only try to make up for it by earning merit!"
"Who knows if what she said about leaking secrets is true or false, humph."
Gao Lu: "An Ying?"
All that came to mind were An Weiping's underhanded behavior.
For example, An Weiping would stare at her lecherously.
For example, he would call her "sister-in-law" in a lewd tone.
For example, she caught him stealing things from the Fu residence several times.
Having been married into the Fu family for so many years, she still couldn't understand why Old Master Fu would take in such a lowly brat and raise him in the family.
An Ying rarely appeared at the Fu residence.
Even when they arrive, they remain quiet and shy.
Gao Lu scoffed, "How powerful could something raised by An Weiping be?"
“She made such a scene at the engagement party between the Lu family and An Xiaoxiao. If it weren’t for Fu Chengli’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to even step into the Fu family with her father who was holding her back.”
She's just a little girl, how much trouble can she cause?
As Gao Lu was speaking, she suddenly realized something.
"Could it be that he's giving her gifts, or has those kinds of thoughts about her...?"
Fu Haidong was taken aback.
Realizing Gao Lu's meaning, he rejected the idea without hesitation for even half a second:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Gao Lu chuckled: "Why not? An Xiaoxiao even climbed into Fu Chengli's bed before, have you forgotten? Fu Chengli was so angry that he locked the door overnight. If the younger sister is like this, what kind of good person can the older sister be?"
Fu Haidong said coldly, "I know why Fu Chengli helped her get into the Fu family business."
Gao Lu: "Why?"
Fu Haidong confidently stated, "Fu Chengli needs to place a pawn in the marketing department, but he doesn't like Lai Yuqiang."
“I know my son too well; he inherited all his cunning from his mother.”
“He never does anything that doesn’t benefit him. Over the years, he may seem to be out having fun, but the connections he’s made are all incredibly impressive.”
Thinking of Lai Yuqiang, Fu Haidong was furious.
A pawn that has been supported for so many years.
Along with her father, the two of them are utterly useless and only hold her back.
Both father and daughter were crippled by Fu Chengli.
It made it seem like Fu Haidong was useless.
"Hey, tell me, does my son not like women or what?"
"Lai Yuqiang is at least somewhat attractive. A few years ago, I was even thinking of setting them up."
"But he's doing just that, spending all his time having fun in the world of fame and fortune, and he doesn't even want to go to the company anymore."
"I've settled down during this period, stopped going out to play, and am now able to go to the company properly every day."
Gao Lu raised an eyebrow, secretly amused.
Ideally, they wouldn't like it, and ideally, they wouldn't be able to continue the family line.
Even if Fu Chengli is shrewd, capable, and currently enjoys great success, he still controls half of the Fu family's business empire.
so what?
Grandpa Fu was very concerned about his descendants.
Without children, he is nothing.
Later, her son Fu Yushi was able to inherit the family business more and more legitimately.
Gao Lu said softly, "Chengli is of marriageable age now. I'll look around for someone suitable for him."
"I will definitely find a good wife for Chengli."
