After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 381 Exposure

"Explain?" Jiang Yichen interrupted him, his tone icy. "Explain how you used fake contracts to transfer funds? Explain how you planned to transfer all the risks in the later stages of the project? Or explain how you colluded with that company to try and monopolize the profits?"

Zhao Xing and Lin Qing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with horror. They hadn't expected Deng Da to have gathered such detailed evidence in such a short time.

Deng pressed his advantage, his tone becoming increasingly sharp: "We were supposed to be cooperating for mutual benefit, but you've tried to monopolize the profits. Now, you have two choices: one is to abandon your selfish motives and renegotiate fairly; the other is for me to expose your conspiracy. If your credibility is damaged, who will dare to cooperate with you?"

The conference room was deathly silent, the air seemingly frozen. Cold sweat poured down Zhao Xing and Lin Qing's foreheads, their fingers tapping unconsciously on the table; their minds were clearly in turmoil.

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, trying to salvage the situation: "President Jiang, we can discuss this matter again. As you know, the business world is like a battlefield, and some tactics are unavoidable. As long as we reach a consensus, everything is negotiable."

Jiang Yichen looked at him coldly, his tone unwavering: "Discuss? When you were doing these underhanded things behind my back, why didn't you think about discussing it? Now that things have been exposed, you only think about discussing it now? Too late."

Lin Qing gritted her teeth, her tone carrying a hint of threat: "President Jiang, don't forget, you can't run this project without us. Falling out will benefit no one."

Jiang Yichen laughed, a mocking smile on his face: "Is that so? Then you can try. Let's see if your conspiracy is exposed first, or if I find a new partner first."

Zhao Xing's expression grew even more grim. He knew Deng Da wasn't bluffing. With Deng Da's capabilities and resources, he could easily find a new partner in a short time. And once their conspiracy was exposed, not only would the project fail, but their reputation would also collapse completely.

Lin Qing clearly realized this as well, and his tone softened: "President Jiang, whatever you say goes. We are willing to renegotiate and will do whatever you say."

Deng Da glanced at them, his tone softening slightly: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why make things unpleasant for everyone?"

In the ensuing negotiations, Deng Da completely seized the initiative. He proposed a new cooperation plan, which not only redistributed the profit ratio but also added a monitoring mechanism for the project to ensure that Zhao Xing and Lin Qing could no longer engage in any underhanded tactics.

"The new profit-sharing ratio is 50/50, with each side taking half." Jiang Yichen pointed to the clauses in the plan, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "In addition, the project's fund flow and decision-making process must be transparent, and I will send someone to supervise it. If you dare to play any tricks again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhao Xing and Lin Qing exchanged a glance. Although unwilling, they could only nod in agreement. They knew that they had no other choice but to compromise.

"President Jiang, we agree to your proposal." Zhao Xing forced a smile. "I hope our cooperation will go smoothly from here on out."

Deng nodded, his tone indifferent: "I hope so. However, let me make this clear beforehand: if you dare to make any more underhanded moves, you will bear the consequences."

Lin Qing nodded quickly: "Don't worry, President Jiang, we will definitely follow the plan strictly."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. When it came to the voting, Song Yang and I made thorough preparations.

Ultimately, the voting results came out, with the majority of votes going to the affirmative.

Jiang Yichen stood up and glanced at the entire room: "Since everyone agrees, let's proceed with this plan. Ms. Gu, thank you for your hard work."

I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. As I walked out of the meeting room, Xu Sisi quietly gave me a victory sign, and I smiled back.

Jiang Yichen walked to my side and whispered, "Momo, you did a great job."

I leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "This is our shared victory."

He took my hand, his eyes gentle: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight to celebrate."

I smiled and nodded: "Okay, but you're not allowed to be jealous this time."

He smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"But who is that?"

"My new assistant, Deng Da, is someone I hired at a high salary."

I looked at Jiang Yichen in surprise, "What about Lin Nan?"

“She told me last time that she was going to study abroad, and she’s been preparing for the handover these past few days.”

"So sudden?" I pursed my lips, reflecting on how quickly this period of time had passed.

"Yes, after all, she still has a lot of new things to learn. She has learned a lot at the company over the past few years, and I believe she will become even more capable soon."

"Yes!" I took a deep breath.

"Hello! Mrs. Jiang," Deng Da greeted me from beside me.

"Hello!" I smiled.

Afterwards, I told Xu Sisi the good news and also mentioned it in the group chat.

"As expected of Sister Mo, she's really capable."

"Of course, I'll treat everyone to dinner tomorrow afternoon."

Lin Xiaoxia is treating everyone to dinner? When I saw this message, I was incredulous. Even the stingiest person is starting to pluck feathers.

Then I sent another red envelope.

"Quick, grab the red envelope!"

The moment I sent the message, the red envelopes were snatched up by several people.

I was looking at my phone and laughing when Jiang Yichen asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." I smiled slightly, a hint of slyness in my eyes, and placed my phone face down on the table, speaking in a deliberately mysterious manner.

I just sent a red envelope in the group chat.

?

"So happy? Let me see." Jiang Yichen looked curious, leaning forward slightly and reaching out to grab my phone. I quickly protected the phone, laughing and joking, "I won't let you see it, you'll be too impatient."

Jiang Yichen shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting affection. Just then, my phone screen lit up, and a notification sound rang. It was a message from Jiang Yichen. Curious, I opened it and found a red envelope (digital cash gift), the amount much larger than the one I'd just received in the group chat. The title of the red envelope read: Wishing my wife all the best.

"Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen, you truly are amazing." I murmured involuntarily, a happy smile spreading across my face. My fingers swiftly tapped to claim the red envelope, then sent a cute emoji with a thank-you tone.

"Alright, I have things to do at the company. What about you?" Jiang Yichen switched back to his deep and serious voice, his expression becoming serious, his eyes revealing his focus on his work.

I dropped my joking expression and replied seriously, "Me too!"

After saying that, we got up together and walked side by side toward the door. On the way to the elevator, Jiang Yichen reminded me, "Don't overwork yourself. If you encounter any problems, just let me know."

When we got downstairs, we briefly parted ways at the door. Jiang Yichen reached out and gently patted my head, saying, "I'll be going now, see you tonight."
