Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

Beijing, this ancient and prosperous city, is like a stage that never ends. The busy streets are filled with surging crowds of people, performing all kinds of human life.

Among the towering skyscrapers, the chess game of business is like an intricate game of chess, and every step concerns the fate and interests of countless people.

He Yuzhu, a man who worked hard in the business world, is now caught in the center of a huge vortex of emotions and interests, struggling and unable to extricate himself.

After Xu Xinmei learned that her sister Xu Xinyue's death was inextricably linked to Lou Xiao'e, the hatred in her heart was like a surging tide, one wave after another, ruthlessly attacking her already fragile rational defense line.

In her eyes filled with pain and anger, Lou Xiao'e has become the unforgivable culprit.

It was she who indirectly took away her sister's life, which should have been happy and fulfilling, and ruthlessly destroyed her sister's family, which was once full of laughter and joy.

This hatred that grew and spread like a cancer made her resent He Yuzhu. Deep in her heart, she secretly blamed him for failing to fulfill his responsibility to protect her sister.

As for Lou Xiao'e, she hated her even more, as if only by completely expelling Lou Xiao'e from their world and making her disappear without a trace could she bring some comfort to her sister's soul that could not rest in peace in heaven.

One afternoon, the sunlight was like a layer of gauze, shining through the thin clouds and falling in front of the window of He Yuzhu's spacious and bright office, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground. The interweaving of light and shadow seemed to be a metaphor for the interweaving of fate.

Xu Xinmei pushed the door open aggressively. Her high heels stepped on the smooth floor, making sounds like dense and rapid drum beats, each of which heavily struck the tense and almost frozen atmosphere.

Her eyes were like two cold, sharp daggers, stabbing straight at He Yuzhu. The coldness in her eyes seemed to be able to freeze the air around them.

She said coldly: "He Yuzhu, I came here today for no other purpose but purely for my poor sister.

You should know clearly in your heart how unjustly she died, and all these tragedies are closely related to Lou Xiao'e.

I don't care what method you use, I want you to remove Lou Xiao'e from the position of vice chairman, completely remove her from the company's core management, make her disappear from our sight forever, and have nothing to do with our lives from now on.

This is my sister's last wish before she died. As her husband, you must do it!"

He Yuzhu was buried in a pile of documents. He was startled by the sudden voice and looked up suddenly. His face was full of fatigue and helplessness. The deep dark circles under his eyes and slightly messy hair showed the tremendous pressure he had been under in recent days.

He raised his hand and rubbed his painful temple, trying to ease the nerves that were like a tight hoop around his neck, and said in a low and hoarse voice:

"Xiao Meizi, I understand how you feel right now, but things are far from as simple as you think.

I know you feel sad, but you cannot deny that Lou Xiao'e has indeed made considerable contributions to the development of the company.

Our real estate project can be so successful today, she has silently put in a lot of effort and invested a lot of resources and energy behind the scenes.

The project has just gotten on track and it is a critical period. If I drive her away at this critical juncture, how will the outside world view me?

Others will only stab me in the back and say that I am an ungrateful and ungrateful person. In this way, how can I survive in this treacherous business world?

If my reputation is damaged, what will happen to the future of the company?"

When Xu Xinmei heard this, her emotions instantly became like a powder keg that had been lit, and she became even more excited.

She rushed to He Yuzhu's desk in a few steps and slammed her hands on the table. With a loud "bang", the documents on the table were scattered all over the floor, just like her messy mood at the moment.

"He Yuzhu, don't talk to me about gaining a foothold in the business world! I only know that my sister suffered so much because of her, struggled hard in the torment of illness, and finally died with hatred.

You always say you love your sister, but are you unwilling to fulfill her last wish?

Do you really love her, or are you just pretending to love her?"

Her eyes were red and tears kept rolling in them, but she stubbornly refused to fall. She looked like a little animal that was injured but still ferocious and refused to show weakness, which made people feel both distressed and helpless.

He Yuzhu stood up slowly; his movements seemed heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

He slowly walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked out at the bustling and noisy streets, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Xinmei, calm down and listen to what I have to say.

Lou Xiao'e has deep roots in the company. Not only does she have many complex personal connections and close business dealings within Hua Xia Real Estate, she also has intricate and intertwined connections with related industries such as Zhuxiangju and electrical appliance stores.

These industries are intertwined, like a closely connected ecosystem. If we drive her out rashly, the company will likely fall into chaos and disorder. All our previous efforts will be wasted, and the livelihoods of our employees will be seriously affected.

You don’t want to see this result, do you? We all have to consider the overall interests of the company.”

Xu Xinmei sneered, her laugh full of disdain and ridicule: "He Yuzhu, don't use these high-sounding reasons to perfunctorily deal with me.

I just don't believe that without Lou Xiao'e, this company can't turn around? You are the chairman of the company. As long as you are determined, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

I don't care how difficult the process is, today I just want you to give me a clear answer, when will Lou Xiao'e be allowed to leave?

Don't delay any longer, otherwise, I will make her pay the price, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

After saying that, she turned around abruptly and walked out of the office quickly. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away, but it seemed to still echo in He Yuzhu's ears. He Yuzhu was left standing alone in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, his eyes empty and confused, and he fell into deep thought.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu was like an acrobat walking on a tightrope. On the one hand, he had to do his utmost to maintain the normal operation of the company, and on the premise of not affecting the business development, he had to gradually weaken Lou Xiao'e's power, trying to find a balance point.

On the other hand, he kept looking for opportunities to communicate with Xu Xinmei, trying earnestly to make her understand the complexity and seriousness of the matter, and to seek a solution acceptable to both parties to resolve this imminent crisis.

However, Xu Xinmei never gave up. Like a persistent avenger, she would come to He Yuzhu every few days and urge him harshly to get rid of Lou Xiaoe as soon as possible. The conflict between the two became more and more intense, like a raging fire that was threatening to spread across the prairie.

At a high-level company meeting, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Xu Xinmei attended the meeting as a shareholder representative. As soon as she entered the meeting room, her cold eyes were fixed on Lou Xiaoe. The undisguised hostility in her eyes seemed to lower the temperature around her a little.

Halfway through the meeting, when Lou Xiao'e was explaining her ideas for the company's future development, Xu Xinmei suddenly attacked. She interrupted Lou Xiao'e's speech without any hesitation and said coldly:

"Boss Lou, I'd like to ask, what plans do you have for the future development of the company?

Or do you only think about your own interests and don't care about the life and death of the company at all?

Do you feel that you can do whatever you want now that you have established yourself in the company? "

Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly. She glanced at Xu Xinmei and knew that she had bad intentions. However, she still tried to remain calm and answered in a steady tone:

"Ms. Xu, I have always been working hard for the development of the company, and my colleagues in the company have witnessed this.

The company's current achievements are the result of the joint efforts of all our employees. I don't understand why you say that, and I don't know how I offended you."

Xu Xinmei snorted coldly, her voice full of contempt: "Work together? I think you have ulterior motives.

Don't forget that this company was founded by my brother-in-law He Yuzhu. You are just a latecomer. Do you want to take over the company now?

Don't think that others don't know what you are thinking. "

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. The other senior executives looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They all lowered their heads silently, not daring to express their opinions easily for fear of getting into trouble.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly stepped out to smooth things over. He stood up, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. We are gathered here today to discuss the direction of the company's development, not to quarrel.

Xinmei, if there is anything, let's talk about it after we meet. Don't affect the progress of the meeting."

Xu Xinmei didn't buy it at all, she kept insisting: "He Yuzhu, you don't have to protect her.

Today I want to let everyone see what kind of person Lou Xiao'e is.

She doesn't deserve to be in this position, she must leave!"

Lou Xiao'e's face also turned ugly. She could no longer remain calm. She stood up, looked directly at Xu Xinmei and said:

“Ms. Xu, I respect you as Xinyue’s sister, but you can’t be so unreasonable.

If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can speak out directly. There is no need to make a scene here. This will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also affect the company's image and reputation. Do you want to see the company suffer losses because of your willfulness?"

Xu Xinmei laughed in anger: "Okay, since you said so, then I will speak frankly.

I want you to leave the company and leave He Yuzhu. Can you do it?

This is my bottom line, you must give me a satisfactory answer. "

Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness: "This is the company's decision, it's not up to you or me to decide.

I don’t want to see the company get into trouble because of our conflict, but I can’t just give up my position in the company, and I need time to deal with some things.”

The meeting ended in a bad mood. He Yuzhu felt unprecedented pressure, which was like a mountain pressing down on his head, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He knew that this was not a solution and that he had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the company would sooner or later be dragged down by this internal conflict and fall into an abyss from which there was no escape.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu continued to have in-depth communication with Lou Xiao'e. He appealed to her emotions and reason, trying to persuade her to voluntarily resign from the position of vice chairman. At the same time, he was also actively looking for a suitable candidate within the company to replace her in order to ensure a smooth transition of the company and minimize the impact of personnel changes.

Although Lou Xiao'e felt aggrieved and thought that she had contributed so much to the company but got such a result in return, she also understood He Yuzhu's difficulties. She began to gradually hand over the work in her hands and quietly prepared to leave this place where she had struggled and shed countless sweat.

After seeing Lou Xiao'e's actions, Xu Xinmei's resentment did not diminish much.

She still felt that this was not enough. In her twisted mind, she wanted to completely disgrace Lou Xiao'e and get what she thought was "justice" for her sister.

So, she began to spread some negative news about Lou Xiao'e in the company, trying to destroy her reputation through public opinion and make it impossible for her to gain a foothold in this industry.

After He Yuzhu learned about this, he severely reprimanded Xu Xinmei: "Xinmei, you are going too far.

Although Lou Xiao'e was wrong, she also made contributions to the company and we cannot treat her like this.

If you continue like this, things will only get worse. Not only will it hurt Lou Xiao'e, but it will also cause greater damage to the company.

We should all be more rational and not be blinded by hatred."

Xu Xinmei said with tears in her eyes: "He Yuzhu, why do you always side with her?

Is it true that my sister is not important at all in your heart?

I do this for my sister, why don't you understand me?"

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly: "Xinmei, how can you say that? Everything I do is for the company and for everyone.

I don't want anyone to get hurt, including you and Lou Xiao'e.

I am also saddened by my sister's passing, but we cannot solve the problem in the wrong way.

We should all look forward instead of living in hatred and letting hatred ruin our lives."

After some twists and turns, Lou Xiao'e finally left the company. Thanks to He Yuzhu's unremitting efforts, the company gradually returned to normal and its business slowly got back on track.

Although Xu Xinmei had not completely let go of the hatred in her heart, she knew that He Yuzhu had tried his best.

She looked at her sister's photo and said silently: "Sister, I have done everything I can for you, I hope you can rest in peace in heaven.

I will try my best to let go of the hatred, live a good life, and protect everything you left behind."

He Yuzhu stood in front of the window, looking at the rolling mountains and flowing rivers in the distance, feeling filled with emotion.

He knew that although the storm had subsided temporarily, the scars left behind were like scars deeply engraved in his heart and would take time to heal slowly.

In this business world full of temptations and challenges, the entanglement of interests and emotions is always a difficult puzzle to solve. All he can do is to stick to his original intention, uphold kindness and justice, lead the company forward, and ride the waves in the business world.

At the same time, we carefully guard the precious and beautiful memories left by Xinyue, so that they will never fade in the long river of time...

He Yuzhu had been reading the letter in his hand for half an hour, and this letter was indeed written by Lou Xiaoe, who had been away from Beijing for a long time...
