Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 246: Turning Point

Yun Yixian, wearing a bathrobe, came out of his private bathroom in his office just as the phone on his desk rang. It was a video call from Yun Guotao.

Yun Yixian casually answered the call, tilting his head to wipe his wet hair, and casually spoke on the phone.

"What are you doing taking a bath in broad daylight?"

"I just finished performing in the ward, and my body was covered in bacteria and viruses." After washing up, I feel much better."

Yun Guotao knew that his daughter had some cleanliness habits, but he didn't care. He asked, "By the way, did the press conference go smoothly?"

"You should understand from the online news about the fishing boat. Such a small matter can't defeat me." Yun Yixian casually laughed, "And Li Mubai's foundation, I helped cover up the hidden advertisements as you instructed, but you really are in a hurry. We haven't finalized the investment yet, but you're already asking for help. Aren't you afraid that guy will bite the hand that feeds him?"

"That brat doesn't have the guts!"

Yun Guotao snorted in dissatisfaction, thinking about how he was helplessly eaten by Li Dashao, and a sense of oppression surged in his heart.

Yun Yixian glanced at him a few times, keenly sensing something unusual, and probed, "So it's almost settled?"

"It's almost there, but the price is a bit high... Forget it, we'll talk about it when we meet."

Yun Guotao became unhappy when this was mentioned. Although he achieved his goal, the cost was much higher than he expected. For someone as ambitious and face-conscious as him, it was simply a failure. Now, he could only hope to recover the losses as much as possible in the upcoming negotiations. "Tell me, a reporter caused trouble at the press conference this morning, right?"

Yun Yixian knew he couldn't deceive him about these matters and directly told him about the minor disturbance and the results of the investigation. Finally, he said, "Dad, have we had any conflicts with Hua Mu Group and the Mu family recently?"

"We didn't have any conflicts before, but now it's hard to say," Yun Guotao said with a gloomy expression. "Do you remember the patient who died a few months ago, Lin Zhenqing? His son, Lin Yi?"

"...Oh, you mean that little rascal," Yun Yixian recalled and then threw away the towel, picked up the cigarette on the table, took out a lighter, and said softly, "I dealt with a group of unruly ruffians who came to cause trouble and extort money. I used both soft and hard tactics, settled the matter, and came back with the funeral expenses. What do you care about?"

"In the past, we didn't care about this insignificant grasshopper, but if the other side has become a mad dog with an owner, we have to be careful," Yun Guotao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yixian paused for a moment with his thumb holding the lighter's flint, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he asked, "That little troublemaker has grown up?"

Yun Guotao nodded and recounted, "I had someone inquire about it, and unexpectedly, that little bastard's grandfather turned out to be the former patriarch of the Mu family!"

Yun Yixian finally took the cigarette out of his mouth and raised his phone. "How is that possible?" he asked. "If their family has such a background, the doctors at the hospital should know. Why would they go to such extremes?"

"It's a long story, a complicated family issue," Yun Guotao briefly explained. "According to the information we have now, the former patriarch of the Mu family once said that he would completely sever ties with his daughter and never have any contact with her again. But after the woman's husband died, she eventually went back to apologize for her mistakes and brought Lin Yi back home."

"I didn't expect her to accidentally stumble into a thorny situation!" Yun Yixian said with a cold face. "It seems that the reporter who caused trouble today was instigated by that little troublemaker! Dad, this matter may not be easy to deal with."

"You don't have to worry for now. Although the former patriarch reluctantly took in the widow and orphan, his anger from back then hasn't subsided. The Mu family doesn't have a good impression of such poor relatives. There's no need to have a falling out with us over a dead person who has no relation to us."

Although Yun Guotao made it sound easy, his tone was cautious. "However, we still need to be cautious and vigilant. I heard that the former patriarch originally sent him to work as an insurance salesman at the grassroots level as a test for the little troublemaker. Unexpectedly, the little bastard did well and traveled to major cities within a few months, making a lot of deals. Seeing this, the former patriarch was pleased and sent that kid to work at the headquarters of the group. Although there's still no big future for him, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a turning point. It's not worth it for him to bite us when he jumps out."
