C9 Mother's Discharge

The news of Lee Chuan's expulsion spread like wildfire among all Fame employees through their company emails.

Having the email written by Director Shen Bijun herself, she stated that Lee Chuan was fired from the company due to the fact that he had been abusing his power and oppressing his employees in the Sales Department.

When the news of Lee Chuan's dismissal spread, the whole Sales Department burst into cheers, and gaiety filled the atmosphere of the department. Everyone knew that Zhouyang must have been the only person bold enough to have complained to the director herself!

Thus, he became known as the hero of the entire Sales Department.

Afterwards, he signed a form of agreement regarding the patent with Shen Bijun in her office.

In the agreement, it is stated that Zhouyang would become the head of the whitening and anti-aging factor project. Furthermore, it came with the benefit of possessing 60% of the entire project, meaning that he had all rights to do whatever he wanted. In summary, he had the final say in everything within this project.

Though he too could have taken advantage of his power in the company, Zhouyang, however, told Director Shen to keep his position in the project a secret because he wanted to lay low for the moment.

With that, he proceeded with the preparations for the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project, and at the same time, carefully selected the partners for the project.

Upon the successful negotiations, Zhouyang naturally wished to include Xie Lingyu's company in the project. By doing so would she be able to get help from Fame Company and deal with the crisis surging through her own company.

Finally, he ordered Shen Bijun's secretary to release the news to the public that Fame Corporation had obtained the patent for whitening and anti-aging factor from Stanford Biology Lab in the United States, and was preparing to launch the whitening and anti-aging factor project. At the same time, the news would also attract foreign companies from all around the world to want to cooperate with them in this project.

The moment this news was released onto the internet, the entire cosmetics industry began to tremble!

No one would have thought that the patent, which many of the world's largest corporations were fighting over with all their might, would silently fall into the hands of Fame company.

This was truly shocking!

As for Fame Company, it had become the cosmetics company that received the most attention in the entire country. No... in the entire world! Other large cosmetics companies in the country even began feeling a sense of envy and jealousy towards them, and some small and medium-sized companies even began risking their lives to receive the opportunity to cooperate with them.

These companies included both Xie Lingyu's Pleasant Makeup Corporation and Chen Junsheng's cosmetics company.

In the next few days, all the enterprises in the entire country were preparing for their bids in Fame Company's auction. Whoever had the highest bids would have the chance to work with them on the project. Xie Lingyu was also completely focused on the auction. For in her eyes, this auction might be the last saving grace for her company.

Although her Pleasant Makeup was weak and her chances of being chosen were slim, she still saw the auction as her potential lifesaver and prepared for her final gamble.

In order to complete the project, she even moved from her house to the company, where she ate and slept every day. She worked 24 hours a day preparing bids, afraid of missing out on the opportunity.

Zhouyang, not expecting Xie Lingyu to go all out like she did, felt somewhat sorry for her. On the other hand, he came to respect that side of her, which made him want to help her secretly.

As for Chen Junsheng, he would never be able to get the chance to work with Fame Company, even if he sold everything he had!

"..."

In the days leading up to the project, a piece of good news came from the hospital.

The kidney replacement that Zhouyang's mother had been waiting for had finally been found!

Zhouyang's mother had been suffering from uremia for many years and had been looking for a replacement for her kidney ever since. At first, he believed that day might never come, but he never expected the results to be of such!

Thinking about how Zhao Tong had once paid more than a million for his mother's medical and surgical treatment, he could not help but wonder whether the kidney replacement must have also been found using the Zhou Family's influence as well.

After the kidney replacement was sent to the East Sea City, the hospital arranged a kidney transplant for Zhouyang's mother as soon as possible.

Not only was his mother's operation a complete success, her recovery after the operation also went smoothly without any complications.

For the rest of the week, Zhouyang stayed in the hospital to look after his mother. Aside from taking part in Whitening and Anti-aging Factor Project discussions with Fame Company, he spent the rest of his free time by his mother's side.

During this time, Xie Lingyu lived and worked extremely hard in her company every single day while Zhouyang remained by his mother's side most of the time.

After Chen Junsheng received news of this, he took time out from his busy schedule and started to curry favor with Zhouyang's mother-in-law at her house.

These days, he began sending more and more gifts to Zhouyang's mother-in-law. One day, he would send a bird's nest. On the other, he would send a jade. And on another, he would send a fish wing sea cucumber to Zhouyang's mother-in-law. All the gifts he sent were extremely valuable within their region.

Having already been extremely dissatisfied with her good-for-nothing son-in-law, it was also under Chen Junsheng's cunning actions that Zhouyang's image worsened further in her eyes.

At one point, she even had the thought of persuading her daughter to divorce Zhouyang and marry Chen Junsheng, the potentially outstanding son-in-law from her perspective.

The day that Zhouyang's mother was finally discharged from the hospital was also coincidentally the day of Xie Lingyu's birthday.

As such, Xie Lingyu personally came to the hospital to pick up Zhouyang's mother upon her discharge. Moreover, she even personally invited his mother to attend her birthday party at home.

Mrs. Zhou, who had just been discharged from the hospital, still wore a sickly pale expression on her worn-down, wrinkled face. She knew that her son was constantly being bullied at Xie Family over the past several years, so she didn't want to go over and give him trouble.

After all, bringing trouble to the Xie Family was equivalent to bringing trouble to his own son. It would make his son's future even more miserable than it already was.

Seeing his mother act this way, Zhouyang felt conflicted within his heart as if thousands of emotions were undergoing a war within him.

Knowing that Zhouyang's situation at Xie Family was not good, Mrs. Zhou patted Zhouyang's palm in distress, and then said to Xie Lingyu, "Lingyu, thank you for inviting me to attend your birthday party, but I'll have to politely decline your invitation. If I decided to go in this state, I would only worsen the situation in your house. Thus, I properly shouldn't attend the party."

At this moment, Mrs. Zhou's words each felt like needles slowly piercing through Zhouyang's heart one by one.

Xie Lingyu hurriedly said, "Mom, today is my birthday and also the day of your discharge from the hospital. I hope we'll able to celebrate those two happy occasions to gather at home."

Zhouyang, seeing the opportunity created by Lingyu, jumped into the conversation and said, "That's right, Mom. You should come back with us!"

Under the persuasion of the couple, Mrs. Zhou finally gave in and nodded.

However, the lingering worry stuck between her brows continued to sting Zhouyang's heart for as long as it stays here.

Returning to the Xie Family, Zhouyang's mother-in-law's face immediately darkened as she said: "You... you still dare to come back?"

Her sharp voice made Zhouyang's mother feel somewhat nervous.

Seeing his mother-in-law's scornful expression, Zhouyang stood next to the door with an awkward expression on his face.

Seeing her son being forced to such a state, bitterness flashed across Mrs. Zhou's eyes. Thus, she hurriedly tried to curry favor with Lingyu's mother. "Dear mother-in-law, it's good to..."

His mother-in-law's face, filled with utter disgust, said in a mocking tone, "Ugh... Don't do that. I can't believe I have to be related to the likes of you."
