Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 474 If you don’t commit suicide, you will die.

There was a knock on the office door, followed by Song Yutong's voice, "Deputy Director Tong, I'm coming in."

Tong Shili quickly composed herself and sat up straight.

Song Yutong walked in with a friendly smile. With her stunning face, hot figure, and innate design talent, this woman was truly perfect.

"Shili, would you mind if I sat down and we talked?"

Tong Shili nodded, got up and poured coffee for the two of them. "What does Director Song want to say?"

Song Yutong raised an eyebrow: "We knew each other abroad, but we weren't close. We really became close at Fan Hua Design, where we've been working together for several years now."

"Did Director Song come to see me during work hours just to reminisce?" She placed the coffee in front of her.

Song Yutong didn't care about her aloofness, and still had a smile on her face. "It's not wrong to say that we're nostalgic. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to sit down and let life slow down, have a heart-to-heart talk, and drink coffee."

"Working hours?" Tong Shili smiled coldly.

Song Yutong blinked: "If I can't even do a good job of ideological work with my subordinates, I think it will affect my work. So this is not something outside of work, and should be resolved during work hours."

"So, how does Director Song plan to resolve this?" Tong Shili took a sip of coffee, concealing the fleeting glint in her eyes.

"Since Deputy Director Tong is such a straightforward person, I won't beat around the bush. It's clear that Deputy Director Tong doesn't approve of Director Yan. This matter has been widely discussed in the company, and it's having a very bad impact."

"Did Director Yan send you?"

"No, I came here of my own accord. And I'm here to tell Deputy Director Tong that he should do what he's supposed to do, and he should stop doing what he shouldn't do as soon as possible. There are some things that you shouldn't even think about; thinking too much about them will only lead to your own destruction."

Song Yutong spoke slowly, as if warning her something. Tong Shili suddenly trembled, wanting to say something, but the words caught in her throat as she met Song Yutong's sharp, all-knowing gaze, and she felt a pang of guilt. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Song Yutong seemed to know something, yet she didn't expose it.

Tong Shili turned her face away: "Thank you for reminding me, Director Song. Since we weren't familiar with each other before, and I don't think we're that familiar now, we can stay unfamiliar with each other in the future. I just like to be alone."

Song Yutong smiled and said, "I respect Deputy Director Tong's choice, but I still maintain that the path is one's own to walk, and success or failure is one's own responsibility."

Tong Shili subconsciously clenched her fist, her gaze towards Song Yutong somewhat strange. Could this be Song Yutong's true nature—unfathomable and possessing a powerful aura? Was her previous demeanor all an act?

Her heart skipped a beat; facing her, she felt an unprecedented pressure. This was something that would have been impossible before.

"Director Song, is this truly who you are now?" Tong Shili asked suddenly after taking a sip of coffee.

"Is it that obvious?" Song Yutong frowned, feigning distress. "I can switch personalities freely, it's quite fun." She paused, then looked at Tong Shili. "Actually, Deputy Director Tong and I are similar types of people, but unfortunately, we seem to go against each other on some things. But it's okay, I believe we will cooperate happily in the future, and we definitely will."

The ability to freely switch personalities... that's what makes someone a person...

After seeing Song Yutong off, Tong Shili sat in her office, the same sentence echoing in her mind. While abroad, she and Song Yutong had both heard of each other, but they hadn't had much contact, let alone been familiar with each other. Even during their years together at Fan Hua Design, they hadn't had much interaction, and she knew very little about this woman.

However, today she had a feeling that this woman was dangerous and strange, and absolutely not someone to get close to. Even in a simple conversation, she was completely exposed; she feared that Song Yutong was not as simple as she appeared.

In the office, Yan Zuozuo looked at the woman Cai Keren brought in, who said she was there to apply for a job at Fan Hua Design. She glanced at the woman's design drawings; they weren't particularly outstanding, and in fact, they were a complete mess.

“Ms. Wu, although our company is recruiting a director’s assistant, there are certain requirements. I’m afraid you don’t meet our criteria.” Yan Zuozuo returned the design to her.

Previously, Cai Keren was asked to post job advertisements, and quite a few people have come over these days, but none of them are suitable. Similarly, Wu Fangfang in front of us is not qualified.

Cai Keren brought in coffee and placed it in front of Wu Fangfang. She glanced at Wu Fangfang's design and said in four words: "utterly appalling."

Generally speaking, all applicants who make it to the director's office have been assessed by the human resources department. But what's wrong with this terrible-looking lady? Is the human resources department blind?

Cai Keren frowned, planning to go ask them about it later.

"Is it because my work isn't good enough? But Director, I really love design. If you give me a chance, I promise I'll learn a lot." Wu Fangfang spoke sincerely, her eyes filled with genuine emotion as she looked at Yan Zuozuo. "I haven't had any systematic design training, nor have I had any teachers to guide me. To be honest, I've already applied to several companies, but none of them wanted me. Director Yan, I know you're a good person, please give me a chance."

"Since you know your shortcomings, why don't you go to school for systematic learning?" Yan Zuozuo looked at her scrutinizingly.

Wu Fangfang lowered her eyes, a hint of sadness in them. "My family was poor. I used to have two younger brothers who needed to go to school, and I had to earn money to support them. Now my brothers can support themselves, and I want to continue pursuing my dreams."

“But we can’t make an exception for you. Your skills are too poor. I advise you to go back to school.”

"The school tuition is too expensive, Director Yan. You are the head of a charity. Even if you don't hire me, you can definitely do something for me, right? Everyone says you are a good person. You must help me."

Cai Keren frowned even more. Was this person here to apply for a job or to ask for help?

“If you’re here to apply for a job, I’m sorry, this position isn’t suitable for you. But if you’re here seeking relief, you’ll need to fill out an application form at a charity, and we can only decide whether to help you after verifying your information,” Yan Zuozuo said.

"But I really need money. I need to find a job as soon as possible. My father is paralyzed at home, and I need to earn money to take care of him. Director Yan, please, could you give me a job, or could you ask a charity to help me?"

“Ms. Wu, everything must be done according to procedure. Instead of wasting your time here, you might as well go out and find a job that suits you, and study while working. As for the charity, I will make sure they get things done as soon as possible.”

Wu Fangfang persisted, "Director Yan, you have so much power and influence, you don't care about this little bit of money, but I have no power or influence, and this little bit of money is what I need to save my life. I beg you, please give me the money. I'm just an ordinary citizen, with elderly parents and young children to support. Please have pity on me." As she said this, her eyes even reddened.

Yan Zuozuo sighed. In truth, Wu Fangfang was a pitiful person. But no matter what, everything had to be done according to procedure. If he made an exception for Wu Fangfang, what would happen if similar situations arose in the future?

To avoid any unforeseen complications, this precedent must not be set.

"Director Yan, please have mercy," Wu Fangfang said, her eyes reddening as she wiped away her tears.

"Didn't you understand what the director said? Everything has to be done according to procedure. There are many pitiful people in the world, are we supposed to help them all? You're young, and you're not missing any limbs. Instead of earning your own living, how can you be so shameless as to try to take shortcuts here?" Cai Keren said bluntly. "You better not let me find out who let you up here, or I'll be waiting to pack my bags and leave with you!"

Cai Keren looked angry and turned to Yan Zuozuo, saying, "Director, there's a meeting later. I'll see the guests out for you."

Yan Zuozuo frowned. She felt a little sorry for Wu Fangfang, but she knew that making an exception was a mistake that could happen twice.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Keren, let's see the guests out."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fangfang became anxious: "Director Yan..."

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what our supervisor said? Get out of here now, or do you want me to call security?"

Wu Fangfang bit her lip, covered her face, and turned away.

Cai Keren watched her get off the elevator before returning: "Director, this kind of woman doesn't deserve sympathy. If she were really as miserable as she claims, she wouldn't be like this now. Trying to get in through connections is something a woman who has experienced hardship wouldn't think of."

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and handed a check to Cai Keren, saying, "Whether it's real or fake, give this to her."

Just like those beggars on the street these days, or those who claim at the train station that they need a few dollars to get home, most of them are probably lying, but what if a few are genuine? Those few dollars may not matter to them, but they might help those who truly need help.

However, Cai Keren disagreed with her idea, especially when she saw the numbers on the screen. Her eyes widened. "Director, are you crazy? This kind of person doesn't deserve any sympathy. If you sympathize with her, you're just condoning her behavior. She'll only get worse in the future."

"Give this to her, I'll call the charity and have them follow up. Hurry up, see if she's gone."

Cai Keren pouted and chased after her, returning shortly afterward, angrily saying, "Director, let me tell you, you really helped the wrong person this time. That woman took the money without even a word of thanks. Rude and rude."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and shook her head: "Alright, this matter is over. I will notify you as soon as the charity has the results of its investigation."

Cai Keren rolled her eyes: "It'd better she really wasn't lying to you, otherwise, I won't let her off the hook!" Suddenly, as if she remembered something, "The fact that the HR department let someone like her into the director's office must mean she's not simple. Director, I'll go ask her."

"Okay." Yan Zuozuo nodded and looked at Ding Le. "Ding Le, get ready, we're about to have a meeting."

Ding Le nodded, took out his phone, pressed the send button, and got up to follow Yan Zuozuo to the office.

A recording came through Chi Moqing's phone, sent by Ding Le. He listened to it in its entirety, a slight smile playing on his lips. Chu Xinyuan was about to unleash her ultimate move. As the saying goes, "If you don't do stupid things, you won't die." It seemed some people were relying on their powerful backers, truly believing they could rest easy. He'd teach them a lesson about digging their own graves!
