Reborn To Love

Chapter 158 Yu Lin and Li Yuyan

"What?!" He Xinyan said, a little too loud.

Gu Yechen chuckled at her huge reaction, "Yes, it is. If you\'re having trouble, just say that you can have the Gu Corporation stop funding Aini Cosmetics and close the company down, and then go and fund the He Corporation makeup."

". . ." If that was the deal, then He Xinyan could just say to Bai Jiawei, \'Give me the He Corporation now and get out or else I will have Gu Yechen make the He Corporation go bankrupt and then find some people to get rid of you, your wife, and your illegitimate, older daughter.

However, that wasn\'t the deal.

He Xinyan scoffed, "Ch! You\'re so helpful!"

Gu Yechen smiled, "You can use Aini Cosmetics. I just got their monthly report a week ago and it shows that they are not earning as much as previous months anymore because the Sanxi brand is getting more popular through social media. You can just say that the He Corporation can take this opportunity to break through while Aini Cosmetics is struggling."

He Xinyan\'s eyes widened, "Really?! Can you send me a picture of the monthly report?"

Although it was private information of the company, Gu Yechen still nodded his head. There was nothing as important as helping his wife.

"I\'ll leave now. I will send the picture to your mail, okay?"

"Okay, bye! Thank you!" He Xinyan said as she kissed him quickly on the lips. Right after Gu Yechen left, the workers began coming back from lunch.

Li Yuyan was the last to come back, and when she did, she immediately sat down on her chair and began scrolling through her phone.

For the next few hours, Li Yuyan continued to scroll through her phone and do random stuff not relating to work.

He Xinyan knit her eyebrows together when she finished her first draft of the report and saw Li Yuyan playing around. What was she trying to do? He Xinyan didn\'t believe that Li Yuyan was just giving up her chances now by not doing anything, so there had to be something behind it.

--- A few hours ago

Li Yuyan knocked on the door before entering Manager Yu\'s office. She walked in and sat down on the chair across from Yu Lin.

"Hello, manager Yu."

"What are you doing here not working?"

Li Yuyan smiled, "Manager Yu, I know that you have been in the company for a long time. Since you came out of college, right? You have been very loyal to my dad and have worked for him for a long time. However, you are still just a manager. I even feel pity for you. You should at least be a director or even an officer!"

Yu Lin narrowed her eyes together, "What do you mean, Mrs. Li?"

Li Yuyan smiled, "I have a deal to make with you. To start with to show my sincerity, I will first give you 10 thousand dollars. I hope you can help me, and I will help you too. If you help me and one day I become the CEO, I will definitely bring you up."

Yu Lin grinned, "Mrs. Lin, how are you so certain you will become the CEO? If I am not mistaken, you\'re not the rightful heir to the He Corporation."

Li Yuyan\'s smile stiffened for a quick second, "Well, my dad doesn\'t like He Xinyan. He would want me to inherit the company more! Plus, who knows if she will actually get the company. Her grandfather died already and it belongs to my dad now. It is up to him who it will go to."

"I don\'t think that is how it works," Yu Lin said.

"It doesn\'t matter. Manager Yu, you are a smart person. I think it is better to place your bet on at least one person. He Xinyan won\'t come and find you, and there isn\'t a good chance she will bring you up in the future either. So, it is smart of you to agree. Plus, 10 thousand dollars isn\'t a small amount."

Yu Lin pressed her lips together as she leaned back against her chair. Her husband didn\'t work much and it was up to her to earn the family income. 10 thousand dollars was indeed very tempting, and Li Yuyan was right. It was better to have a bet than no bet at all.

"I expect to see the 10 thousand in my account by tomorrow."

Li Yuyan smiled, "Of course! However, you have to keep your part of the deal too. We are in the same boat now, so you have to help me. I need you to push He Xinyan down and lift me up. If my dad ever asks, you have to help me, understand?"

Yu Lin narrowed her eyes, "Of course."

After Li Yuyan left the room, Yu Lin sighed. If she had a choice, of course she would choose He Xinyan. Although she entered the company after Bai Jiawei took over, she still knew that the company was called the \'He Corporation\'. It rightfully belonged to He Xinyan, not even Bai Jiawei.

However, she didn\'t have any other choice. Li Yuyan wasn\'t a smart person, but she was right that it was better to place your bet on something than nothing. Plus, she needed money.

Since she chose Li Yuyan, she can only hope that Li Yuyan will indeed help her in the future.

--- Present

At 5:50 P.M., He Xinyan printed her report out and brought it into manager Yu\'s office. She knocked twice before entering, and manager Yu seemed to be getting ready to get off of work.

"Hello, manager Yu. Here is my report."

Yu Lin glanced at He Xinyan, "Go put it on my desk."

He Xinyan did as she said and as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back around.

"Manager Yu, I\'m wondering if Li Yuyan sent you her report yet?"

Yu Lin gulped. She had let Li Yuyan not do her report, "Um. . . She gave it to me already."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "Okay. Goodbye, manager Yu."

After turning in the report, He Xinyan also left the company. Li Yuyan had left already about half an hour ago.

After returning to the Xihe Estates, He Xinyan went to Gu Yechen\'s house, and when she entered, she immediately smelled the delicious food.

"You\'re home already!" He Xinyan exclaimed. Usually, Gu Yechen wouldn\'t be back from work so early.

"Go wash your hands and come eat." Gu Yechen placed the last dish onto the table and removed his apron. He came back early so he could cook the dinner before He Xinyan came home. That way, she wouldn\'t have to wait after such a long day of work.

As they were eating, He Xinyan told Gu Yechen what happened today. Just like her, Gu Yechen also sensed that something may be off.

"Be more careful of your manager. I think there might be something going on. However, don\'t offend her, because she is still your boss right now."

He Xinyan nodded her head and slowly took another bite of food.

---

The next day of work, He Xinyan was the first to arrive at work.

All the other workers slowly arrived, but manager Yu and Li Yuyan were nowhere to be seen. Finally, about half an hour after work was supposed to start, manager Yu and Li Yuyan appeared. . . Walking in front of them, was Bai Jiawei.

He didn\'t look very happy, and when he walked past the working area, he glared at He Xinyan.

"Come to Manager Yu\'s office."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow as she looked towards manager Yu, who avoided her gaze.

The four of them entered manager Yu\'s office, and He Xinyan stood across from Bai Jiawei.

He was holding a file folder, and he slammed it onto the desk after the door closed.

"Yesterday, you two were assigned to write a report about entering the makeup industry for the He Corporation."

He Xinyan looked at the file folder and recognized it to be the one she gave to manager Yu yesterday, "Yes. That is -"

Bai Jiawei cut her off and slammed one hand onto the table, "Why didn\'t you write one?"

He Xinyan was at a loss for words as she furrowed her eyebrows together, not saying anything.

Bai Jiawei stood up and walked across the table, "He Xinyan, you are here to learn and to get used to how the He Corporation runs. Just because you are the heir to the He Corporation doesn\'t mean you can just come and play, and do nothing! Don\'t think I will give the company to you if you are like this!"

He Xinyan\'s face darkened as she glanced at Li Yuyan, who was standing beside her and smiling.

"I don\'t know what you mean. I am not here to play, dad. About the report yesterday, I did it. That folder on the table is the one I gave to manager Yu yesterday."

Bai Jiawei scoffed, "Don\'t try to lie to me, He Xinyan! That folder is Yuyan\'s work! I called manager Yu to my office this morning to ask her and she told me that you didn\'t do it yesterday! Even she is better than you, she is just here to get some work experience! Yuyan is acting more like the rightful heir to the company than you are!"

He Xinyan\'s expression completely turned cold when she heard that, "Dad, I don\'t think you have a choice. The company is the He Corporation, and it has no relation to Li Yuyan. Even if she is better, she still can\'t inherit the company."

Li Yuyan\'s smile disappeared as she glared at He Xinyan.

"Plus, Li Yuyan isn\'t better. This report is mine." He Xinyan said as she picked up the folder from the table. She flipped to the first page and her eyes widened when she saw the name typed on the title page of the report.

Li Yuyan.
