Chapter 2097: Chapter 2098: The First Wife Who Left with Nothing

Zhang Yu looked at the money that had just been deposited in her account, feeling absolutely elated.

Lin Yu was truly impressed with the plan Zhang Yu had drafted; today’s plan was extraordinarily better than before, truly perfect. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, he felt wary of Zhang Yu in many ways. Zhang Yu’s parents worked in the financial industry, with plenty of old classmates and colleagues deeply embedded in the sector. Coupled with Zhang Yu’s own abilities, Lin Yu really worried that once Zhang Yu returned, she would undoubtedly take revenge on him.

He couldn’t allow it; he must curry favor with the Han family and strive to elevate his own status. By then, even if Zhang Yu returned, it wouldn’t matter—because there wouldn’t be any opportunities for her in the domestic financial world.

Zhang Yu never imagined that Lin Yu would discern her abilities from the plan she drafted and intend to block her path in the financial industry.

If Zhang Yu knew his thoughts, she would surely advise, "Think wisely; there are plenty of paths available, why insist on returning?"

Since knowing Lin Yu’s attempts to ingratiate himself with the Han family, Zhang Yu had already abandoned the idea of returning to the domestic financial market. She had planned her next steps.

On her last working day, Zhang Yu felt extremely happy—tomorrow she wouldn’t have to go to work or interact with her colleagues; the thought delighted her.

Her colleagues saw Zhang Yu packing up and recalled a major company event today, "Did you hear? Manager Lin secured a super big deal."

"If completed, the company’s annual goals will be instantly achieved," a colleague enthusiastically remarked.

All the other colleagues cheered, but their expressions turned regretful upon looking at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised at all; with such a splendid plan, if the client still wasn’t satisfied, she wouldn’t have any solutions.

Lin Yu felt truly delighted; the plan was excellently crafted, and after asking a few questions, the client promptly expressed willingness to cooperate, much to Lin Yu’s joy.

Although the plan required a significant investment, securing this major client was indeed a good outcome.

The only regret was that the promotion wasn’t related to him; he was just one day late, and the promotion list had been announced yesterday.

However, it didn’t matter. Such a large project would bring substantial profits to the company, and with the Han family’s backing, he was sure to advance further.

"I’m treating everyone to afternoon tea today," Lin Yu generously offered upon securing such a major deal.

Zhang Yu packed her things and passed Lin Yu without saying a word, not even glancing at him.

Seeing her pass by, many people pointed at her back, saying, "Look, if she hadn’t divorced, she would have had such a great opportunity."

Lin Yu listened to the colleagues praising him, feeling good, without stopping them.

Of course, Zhang Yu heard the colleagues’ chatter, their praises for Lin Yu, and their comments about her being blind to the opportunity; she didn’t care in the slightest.

Lin Yu, the kind of man anyone unfortunate enough to encounter suffers, after packing her things, Zhang Yu called her parents, "Mom and Dad, let’s go out for a good meal."

She drove them to enjoy a seafood feast, "Eat more."

"The seafood here tastes really good," being a company’s exclusive reception location, it was indeed high quality.

Han Yu looked at the table full of seafood and said irritably, "You always show off when you have some money, without thinking about the expenses you’ll face once you leave."

Zhang Qiang also felt there was no need for Zhang Yu to be so extravagant, "If you’re going to Harbor City, renting an apartment and other expenses will cost money."

Since deciding to live with their daughter in Harbor City, Zhao Qiang used various connections to inquire about the living costs there, and indeed, they were expensive.

The old couple thoroughly calculated their finances, feeling capable of supporting a bit, but then turned to see their daughter spending extravagantly, inevitably making them upset.

"Mom and Dad, I made money again these two days." Zhang Yu mentioned helping Lin Yu draft the plan, "I received 1.5 million."

"Huh? Zhang Qiang and his wife were shocked, "How did Lin Yu ask you to draft the plan?"

"Because I had done it before," Zhang Yu shrugged, stating she had worked on it, "Otherwise, why would he find me."

Given the circumstances, Zhang Qiang and his wife understood; their naive daughter had indeed been duped, "You..."

"If you hadn’t supported him back then, you’d probably have been promoted now." Han Yu pointed at his daughter’s head, unreservedly.

"How could I have known he’d behave like this? Forget it, doesn’t matter, now that we’ve broken up, this is the last time I’m helping him. In the future, with backing from the Han family, he’s sure to have a good life." Zhang Yu certainly understood her ex-husband.

"Let’s eat; today, we’re being treated to a meal by Lord Lin." Zhang Yu ate with much delight.

Looking at his carefree daughter still gobbling up the meal, Zhang Qiang felt an ache throughout, "You, after making the relationship with Lin Yu so tense, still helping him."

"Once he’s under the Han family’s radar, wouldn’t the Han family likely aid him?" Mr. Han used to be self-serving, and even more so in his old age.

"Exactly, that’s why I need to help. Elevate him high so that the Han family sees him as a talent, only to realize later he’s no better than Han Xue."

"Dad, what do you think the Han family would feel?"

"And Dad, Mr. Han is over eighty now, considered to be nearing the end of his life; it’s said his health hasn’t been good, spending recent months continually in the hospital’s premium ward."

"Otherwise Han Xue wouldn’t be in such a hurry."

"Han Xue is anxious, but aren’t her uncles and aunts, her distant relatives anxious too? Her cousins and siblings as well?"

The Han family appeared dominant, but that was under Mr. Han’s rule; "Han family is strong only while Mr. Han lives; once others are bullied or have their resources seized by the Han family, won’t they seek retaliation?"

Zhang Qiang had inquired about the Han family, pondering the rumors circulating outside, "True."

"It’s all propped up by Mr. Han," the Han family produced talent, but are they truly capable? Most are under the grace of Mr. Han.

Everyone awaited Mr. Han’s demise, when naturally, they wouldn’t hold back.

Having witnessed such matters, Zhang Yu understood Mr. Han’s seemingly frail state, almost like he could pass away anytime, yet somehow he endured for decades, until the Han family’s fourth generation produced someone able to uphold the family’s name.

This time, Zhang Yu certainly wouldn’t be pleased to see the Han family groom successor; while the Han family’s internal affairs aren’t entirely unified, they wouldn’t tolerate others bullying their kind, like Han Xue Lin Yu.

Shifting the Han family’s foundation requires Mr. Han’s absence; outcomes for the sly old fox necessitate significant Han family issues, but it must involve second and third-generation successors that satisfy Mr. Han.

Only their downfall can significantly impact Mr. Han.

Furthermore, those faltering will provoke stabilization efforts within the Han family, surely pushing someone prominent, like Lin Yu—who’s newly distinguished and set to marry Han Xue—a young man without backing, to be the prime candidate.
