Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Zhou Xinyao was busy with company matters in her hotel room and had no idea of ​​the major events that had occurred at the old mansion.

"Zhao Tianyou, is managing a company really that difficult?"

Sitting in a chair, Zhou Xinyao was conducting a remote video call in front of her laptop.

The company's recent layoffs have caused dissatisfaction among many employees, mainly due to disagreements over the amount of compensation.

Although Zhao Tianyou had experience in managing companies, he also wanted to save on costs and did not want to spend too much money on the laid-off employees.

Zhou Xinyao is having a remote video call with Zhao Tianyou to discuss this matter.

"Mr. Zhou, a small number of the laid-off employees disagree with the compensation plan and want to stay with the company. If we have to lay them off, we will have to pay them more than they would otherwise."

Zhao Tianyou reported the facts truthfully, his mind filled with embarrassment.

Zhou Xinyao had just taken over the company and was about to lay off the old employees. This was something that would be hard for anyone to accept, especially since these old employees had worked with Qian San's wife for many years.

On second thought, Zhao Tianyou understood Zhou Xinyao's thoughts. Who wouldn't want their new company to be full of carefully selected talents?

“President Zhou, I suggest we conduct an assessment for those who don’t want to leave the company. If they can meet our new hiring standards, we can keep them.”

Using his experience, Zhao Tianyou quickly offered Zhou Xinran a suggestion, a two-in-one idea, but Zhou Xinyao did not approve of it.

"No, I must lay them off!"

Zhou Xinyao wielded absolute power and imposed her own ideas on the company.

Zhao Tianyou had no choice but to obey Zhou Xinyao's orders in order to stay in the company as a manager.

“Mr. Zhao, then I will do as you say, but if we have to dismantle and lay them off, it may cost us more money.”

Zhou Xinyao snorted coldly and answered indifferently.

"It doesn't matter, it's just money. I have plenty of money. You can lay them off all you want, I'll just hire some new employees."

After finalizing the plan, the two quickly ended the video conference.

Zhou Xinyao turned off her laptop, drank a glass of water, and then picked up her phone from the table to check it.

"Hmm, why are there still missed calls?"

Zhou Xinyao stared at the string of numbers displayed on her phone screen, her mind filled with questions.

Zhou Xinyao did not have Peng Li's phone number registered in her contacts, so when Peng Li called, Zhou Xinyao did not know who it was.

Seeing the same number dialed multiple times in a row, Zhou Xinyao pressed the redial button with a puzzled expression.

More than two hours have passed since Peng Li left the old house, and she is now in a taxi on her way home.

When her phone rang, Peng Li answered it immediately.

"Madam! You finally answered the phone! I've missed you so much!"

Peng Li felt a surge of joy, followed by immense sorrow.

The person has already been evicted from the old house, so what's the point of receiving a call from Zhou Xinyao now?

Zhou Xinyao was confused, but after hearing a familiar voice from the other end of the phone, she quickly realized that it was Peng Li, the top-notch nanny she had hired to take care of Bai Yuechen!

"Aunt Peng, what's wrong? You don't sound very happy. You called me so many times just now, is something wrong with Bai Yuechen?"

Zhou Xinyao thought Peng Li was taking care of Bai Yuechen at the old house, so she quickly said.

All I could hear was intermittent crying from the other end of the phone.

"Madam, I am truly sorry for failing to live up to your expectations! I... I was kicked out of the old house by my husband!"

Peng Li's voice was filled with extreme grievance; the dissatisfaction that had been building up inside her finally found an outlet to be released.

After hearing this, Zhou Xinyao was shocked. She didn't understand what had happened and why Peng Li had been kicked out of Bai Yunchuan's house.

"Aunt Peng, don't cry. Tell me your story..."

Zhou Xinyao appeared very calm, but in reality, she was starting to panic.

Zhou Xinyao had no idea what had happened during the time she was away from the old house.

During the cold war between Zhou Xinyao and Bai Yunchuan, Bai Yunchuan did not tell Zhou Xinyao anything about the situation inside the old house.

Zhou Xinyao, who was focused on her work, didn't have time to ask the other people in the old house, so she was unaware of what had happened there.

Peng Li wiped away her tears and recounted in detail what she had experienced in the old house.

During this period, Peng Li did not react to the facts in a subjective way, but only occasionally made some complaints.

Since she has already been fired, Peng Li will not choose to return to the old house.

Peng Li just couldn't swallow this insult!

The sleeping pills were definitely not Peng Li's; Peng Li, as the person involved, knows this best.

"Madam, please believe me. I have really taken good care of the young master. I did not use sleeping pills to make him sleep all day."

Peng Li eagerly expressed her sincerity, as she had been recruited by Zhou Xinyao to work at the old house and trusted Zhou Xinyao wholeheartedly.

After hearing the whole story, Zhou Xinyao remained silent, and there was a brief silence on the phone for a few seconds.

“Aunt Peng, I still need to investigate this matter. If you are indeed wronged, I will definitely get justice for you.”

Zhou Xinyao understood the principle that one should not listen to only one side of the story.

Having received Zhou Xinyao's assurance, what more could Peng Li say? She could only swallow her grievances of being falsely accused.

"Madam, I hope you can clear my name. There must be people in the old house who don't like me."

"I don't care if you can't stand me, what I'm more worried about is that someone might want to take this opportunity to harm the young master, because I'm the one who has always taken care of him."

Peng Li isn't stupid either. Having lived most of her life, she always has her own perspective on things.

After Peng Liyi reminded her, Zhou Xinyao suddenly realized what was going on.

Subconsciously, Zhou Xinyao believed what Peng Li said.

During her postpartum period, Zhou Xinyao was with Peng Li and witnessed how Peng Li took care of Bai Yuechen.

If Peng Li really did give Bai Yuechen sleeping pills, why didn't she do it during her postpartum period?

None of this made sense, and Zhou Xinyao still believed that Peng Li was wronged.

"Thank you, Aunt Peng. I will definitely investigate this thoroughly."
