After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.
Chapter 221 Even a thief in the house is still a thief
Seeing Cheng Qingyue's sudden change in expression, Chen Yun couldn't help but ask, "Who called? What happened?"
“It’s your dear ex-wife Wang Ziyue calling!” Cheng Qingyue frowned deeply: “Tomorrow is the day to compete with Rongcheng Tian for the Changhong Bay land. For large-scale auctions like this, participants must go through a series of procedures such as capital verification and registration in advance, and finally receive a certificate to prove their eligibility to participate.”
“This matter involves a rather complicated process and usually takes at least a week to complete. Wang Ziyue assured me that she could handle it, but with the land bidding day just around the corner, she is now telling me that the certificate is missing!”
"Gone?" Chen Yun was taken aback.
As Wang Ziyue's ex-husband, he naturally knew how ambitious this woman was in her career, and how much energy and enthusiasm she had for the company's development.
Wang Ziyue took the land bidding more seriously than anyone else, after all, Yunyue Group was the culmination of her life's work. Chen Yun didn't believe that Wang Ziyue would lose the certificate so carelessly; there must have been some problem.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun reached out to Cheng Qingyue, took the phone from her, and asked, "Where are you now?"
"Chen Yun?" Wang Ziyue was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Are you with President Cheng again?"
The word "again" sounds a bit sarcastic.
“Yes.” Chen Yun asked, “She asked me to help with something that came up. After the certificate was processed, where did you keep it, and around what time did you lose it?”
Seeing that Chen Yun was not going to elaborate, Wang Ziyue was too embarrassed to ask any more questions and replied, "I am at home now. I usually bring some important documents back from work and keep them in the villa. The certificate was processed three days ago. Because it is very important, I check it every day after I finish work and come home to see if it is still there."
"There were no signs of it being moved for the past two days, but when I came back today, I suddenly found it was gone."
"I thought I might have accidentally put it somewhere else and forgotten about it, but I just searched the whole house, including places like the safe, but I still couldn't find it... Tomorrow is the day for the land bidding. If we can't find the certificate, we'll lose our eligibility to compete and will have to hand over Changhong Bay to someone else!"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Ziyue's voice sounded unusually tense and urgent, even with a faint hint of sobbing.
"Don't panic. Here's what you do: call your family first and ask if anyone has touched your things," Chen Yun said calmly.
"Okay! I'll ask them right now!" Wang Ziyue hurriedly hung up the phone.
"How is it?" Cheng Qingyue asked anxiously.
Her level of attention to the Changhong Bay project is no less than that of Wang Ziyue.
Now the Cheng family is going all in, betting all their funds on this project.
So they were eliminated before the competition even started?
If Cheng Qingyue hadn't known that the most urgent task was to solve the problem, she would have already started cursing at Wang Ziyue on the phone!
If you can't even handle this small thing, what kind of department manager are you?
Chen Yun shook his head: "It hasn't been found yet. According to her, the certificate was probably lost today. It was at home, so it's possible that her family put it away somewhere else... Or maybe it was stolen."
“The family is packing... Wang Ziyue should be well aware of the importance of this thing. Didn’t she tell her family beforehand not to touch her things? As for the thief, the Wang family lives in a villa worth several million, and their conditions are much better than ordinary people. With the current level of public security, the possibility of an ordinary family being robbed is very small, let alone a villa area with extremely strict security measures?”
Cheng Qingyue felt that Chen Yun's words were completely unrealistic, and these things were obviously impossible for Cheng Qingyue to do.
A strange light flashed in Chen Yun's eyes, and he said calmly, "I didn't say that the thief came from outside."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qingyue's eyes widened in surprise, and she vaguely understood the meaning behind Chen Yun's words.
"Don't you find it strange?" Chen Yun said calmly, "The certificate was issued several days ago. Why did it have to be lost the day before we were about to start the competition? It's obvious they were deliberately trying to give us no time to react."
"Besides, just as you said, Wang Ziyue lives in a villa, so it would be difficult for petty thieves to get in. Moreover, even if a thief did manage to sneak into the villa, who would bother to steal a qualification certificate? Even if the toilet paper in the bathroom isn't as good as that hard stuff?"
"The best-case scenario now is that Wang Ziyue's younger siblings or her mother accidentally put the certificate somewhere else while cleaning; otherwise, it's obvious that a thief has appeared within the family..."
Cheng Qingyue frowned. "But there are still problems! Yunyue Group was founded by Wang Ziyue. Isn't the Wang family's current lifestyle entirely thanks to Wang Ziyue?"
"If they deliberately stole the certificate to prevent us from carrying out the project, and Wang Ziyue's interests were harmed, wouldn't the interests of everyone in the Wang family also be harmed? Even a three-year-old can understand this. No matter how stupid the Wang family is, they should know this, right?"
“Yes, of course, most people wouldn’t do that, but unfortunately, those idiots in the Wang family can’t understand things with such a simple way of thinking.” Chen Yun’s eyes flickered, and his voice was slightly cold: “After all, for them, Wang Ziyue’s interests certainly represent their interests. But, Wang Ziyue’s interests being harmed does not mean that their interests are harmed.”
"What?!" Cheng Qingyue's eyes widened, finding Chen Yun's words utterly unbelievable!
The Wang family are blood relatives. The most important thing between families is the interests of the family. How could anyone destroy their own family for personal gain in this way?
Even if you can make a small profit at the time, in the long run, it's a completely unprofitable business!
"Heh, don't be surprised. In the eyes of many people in this world, so-called family and bloodline are just about whether there's enough profit to be made." Chen Yun shook his head and said calmly, "Putting aside other things, didn't your second uncle do something similar?"
"In this world, as long as the benefits are sufficient, there will always be people who will completely abandon their bottom line and do anything for their own selfish interests."
"However, the prerequisite for this is that there must be sufficient benefits!"
Why don't you guess who's behind this?
