Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend
Chapter 190
"Your speculation is correct. She is channeling the funds from her side businesses to this to avoid any funds manipulation," Yu Bufan responded, eyeing his master from the corner of his eyes. He still did not know how much he should reveal but it seemed like his master did not intend to hide any information they had uncovered. Yu Tian was sipping his tea at one side, just listening to the conversation. He was just interested in his kitten''s opinion. She had amazing foresight and Yu Tian valued her thoughts a lot.
He had always respected his aunt for the same, although she had quite deviated from her usual sharpness since Mei Qingyang had arrived. He had even noticed a subconscious fear in her eyes sometimes, whenever she encountered Mei Qingyang. It was pretty funny to him, for the person, who was not even afraid of the president of the country, was afraid of a mere girl who did not measure anywhere to her.
Initially he had thought he was seeing wrong. But after witnessing the same thing again and again, his belief had gotten quite strong. This girl hid some another secret that no one was aware of which was probably related to his aunt. He bobbed his head in satisfaction. He had finally found someone with similar or actually, superior smartness of that of his aunt.
"I wonder why she had to get into weapons and drugs. Weapons I still understand, it''s a lucrative business with high chance of monopoly, but drugs?" Mei Qingyang mumbled to herself but everyone heard her. It was an empty room without much happening, so it was not really hard to deduce.
"Yu Empire does have a small pharmaceutical division, although not a lot of people know about it. But ultimately, it comes to human nature. Greed knows no bounds," Yu Tian replied, keeping his cup down on the table and folding his hands to stare sharply at Mei Qingyang. This girl knew how to ask right questions.
"So then, were you able to convince even one ex-executive to help you out?" Under hot gaze of Yu Tian, Mei Qingyang felt pleasantly uncomfortable. She decided to change the topic.
"We actually have several of them. Once we showed them how they could be implicated they came forward," Yu Bufan answered and pulled out a list on the iPad he was holding. He showed the list to Mei Qingyang.
"Good, did they reveal anything we could use?" She checked the list. They were all previous hotshots of Yu Empire. They held so much power that they themselves were famous in the business world, independently. A few had started consulting businesses where they would give services and mentorship to the budding entrepreneurs. Mei Qingyang scoffed at the information she was reading. These greedy people not only were drawing a free salary from Yu Rong, but they were also using their so-called expertise to fool people out as well?
"That… that is a problem. These guys have become too smart. Their excuse is that master does not have any standing amongst the board members, so there is no use of supporting him," Yu Bufan hesitated a bit for he did not want to put down his master. But he had to be truthful. This was a brainstorming session, and the girl was brilliant in coming up with solutions. But it was the truth as well. Yu Tian really had no influence at the Yu Empire. He had left early on to make a name for himself, which he ultimately did.
He had toiled so hard abroad, he would do modeling gigs to earn enough money for capital of his business despite having haphephobia. Ultimately, he had bootstrapped his company, without having the need to ever raise any funding.
"Who dare say that? Assistant Yu, share the list with me. We''ll see on the day what the guys have to say. Anyway, how were they even planning to help Tian then?" Mei Qingyang got angry on Yu Tian''s behalf. What was this attitude, was he not their next master? Oh yeah, they had already been fired.
"They are ready to be witnesses on the day of meeting itself," Yu Bufan again replied unemphatically.
"Bastards trying to cover all their bases. Let''s change our angle then. Let''s get into how Yu Rong started with her businesses and who all are involved. Once we get the big politicians into the dirt, we will have our leads," Mei Qingyang had to change her strategy now. If those uncles would not help then she had to directly attack Yu Rong.
"Here is the list of the politicians involved," Yu Bufan pulled out another list on his iPad. There were names of most of the top notch politicians involved with her one business or other.
"Hoho Assistant Yu, you''re ever ready!" Mei Qingyang praised this assistant in her heart.
"Well, I also want to end this war as soon as possible. And it is my feeling that we are near the finish line already" Yu Bufan responded rather bashfully, he scratched his head from the back in a silly manner.
"Oh? Does your intuition say anything about what kind of outcome we''re going to have?" Mei Qingyang teased him a bit.
"Hehe, I only have good feeling about it but who knows the fate. There might be twists at the end,"
"Hoho there will definitely be twists. Okay Tian, we need to get ready for the board meeting," Mei Qingyang became serious suddenly, after all th banter.
"You want me to attend the upcoming board meeting?" Yu Tian was rather surprised. She had talked about this earlier too, but he did not know that she was serious!
"What? They are going to choose next head of Yu empire, and your birth right is going to be taken away from you and you''re asking me this question?" Mei Qingyang almost cried incredulously. What was wrong with this guy?
"I have never had any interest in Yu Empire, and you very well know that," Yu Tian looked right into her eyes to tell her that he was confident in his own abilities. She did not need to worry.
"Yeah but that aunt''s weakness. We take that down, the school and its system will crumble down on their own. I won''t have to lift a finger, and you will get your justice."
Yu Tian''s eyes shifted a bit on hearing this. He hesitantly asked the question in his heart for sometime.
"Will… Will she go to jail?"
If it were someone else, Mei Qingyang would have shredded him to pieces. Was this the time to be worrying about that? If she counted the human lives damage, that torture prison was enough to give her lifetime worth of jail.
But she saw a painful expression on Yu Tian''s face and realized that he still was in the clutches of that old hag. She still had so much work to do with him, it was not even funny.
