Chapter 40: Shocking Worldviews, Playing So Boldly?:
"Don't think I don't know about your plan." Yun Bufan continued to bluff.
Zhen Xiaoxiao frowned, thinking: 'There's no way he knows. This plan was only discussed yesterday between Su Chen, Yun Biao, and me. No one else could possibly know.
"You really think only the three of you were there at the time?" Yun Bufan's words almost made Zhen Xiaoxiao scream. He really knows!
"Your plan is doomed to fail." Yun Bufan said with a sly smile.
Zhen Xiaoxiao thought: 'Those problematic materials are well hidden. The chances of him discovering them are very low. Once the issue is exposed, the Yun family will have to pay a huge sum of money. Yun Biao will then use this opportunity to request the board to remove Yun Bufan from his position as general manager.'
Listening to these thoughts, Yun Bufan couldn't help but sneer. Yun Biao really was a wonderful second uncle!
He suddenly let go of Zhen Xiaoxiao. "Did I scare you just now?"
"I was just testing you. You know, the Yun family has many competitors," Yun Bufan said and smiled carelessly. "It seems you're trustworthy, so I'm relieved."
Zhen Xiaoxiao felt strange.
She couldn't tell which of Yun Bufan's words were true and which were false.
Why did it seem like Yun Bufan wasn't as foolish as people said?
"Alright, tell me about any recent projects." Yun Bufan said, straightening his clothes and sitting down.
Zhen Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality and brought over a large stack of documents. "These are the project details for our collaboration with the He family. As long as you sign this agreement, you will be the full project manager."
Yun Bufan casually flipped through a few pages and frowned, "So many documents. I won't read them. Are you sure everything is fine?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao nodded. "No issues at all."
"Alright then, where do I sign?" Yun Bufan asked.
Zhen Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. She didn't expect the task to be completed so smoothly. "Right here!"
Yun Bufan signed his name with a pen.
Zhen Xiaoxiao said happily, "I'll inform the procurement department right away!"
Yun Bufan nodded.
After she left, his playful smile faded, replaced by a cold smirk.
Yun Biao now controlled most of the company's departments. The only way Yun Bufan could regain control was to meticulously dismantle his influence.
He opened the company's personnel list and found the procurement department manager.
Dai Yuan. 38 years old. Looking at the photo of a woman with an elegant appearance and a unique middle-aged charm, Yun Bufan smiled slightly. She would be his starting point.
(In the afternoon)
Yun Bufan strolled around the company and wandered into the procurement department. He saw a woman holding a phone, looking slightly flustered as she emerged from the stairwell. She was indeed Dai Yuan, the procurement manager.
Despite some signs of aging, her figure was excellent, with a curvy body and slender ankles.
"Manager Dai." Yun Bufan approached.
Dai Yuan paused, not immediately recognizing Yun Bufan. Then she smiled, her face perfectly made-up. "Oh, it's Mr. Yun."
"What were you doing in the stairwell?" Yun Bufan asked with a faint smile.
"Ah? Nothing… nothing at all," Dai Yuan said, her eyes darting around.
Yun Bufan smirked and suddenly closed the distance, forcing her to step back. He grabbed her wrist. "You were making a phone call just now, right? I overheard something interesting."
Dai Yuan was instantly flustered, her lips parting slightly. A stream of thoughts rushed through Yun Bufan's mind.
'Did he hear about me and Vice President Yun?'
'Oh my God, if this gets out, how will I live?"
'My husband will divorce me, and my daughter in elementary school will be ridiculed.'
'What should I do? Deny everything?'
'Yes, denial is the way. He has no proof."
'Last time I accidentally got pregnant, I had the surgery in a private hospital in Song City, so no one knows.'
'As for the compensation Vice President Yun transferred to my sister's account, they'll never trace it.'
'If I deny everything, no one will find out.]
Listening to these mind-blowing thoughts, Yun Bufan couldn't help but feel sympathy for Dai Yuan's husband. Her infidelity was far beyond what he had imagined.
Unexpectedly, he let go of her and pointed to an empty conference room. "Let's talk in there."
Dai Yuan took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked in with a more resolute expression.
In the conference room, she firmly stated, "Mr. Yun, whatever you think you heard, it's not true."
Yun Bufan chuckled, "Is that so? So your trip to Song City isn't true either?"
Dai Yuan looked shocked.
Yun Bufan continued, "And the money Yun Biao transferred to your sister's account? Do you think I'd confront you without evidence?"
Dai Yuan trembled, her face turning pale with despair.
Finally, Yun Bufan's voice sounded like a devil's whisper, "Manager Dai, you wouldn't want your husband to find out, would you? Maybe you don't care about him, but your daughter… Do you want her to suffer because of you?"
Thud!
Dai Yuan immediately knelt and clutched Yun Bufan's leg. "Mr. Yun, please stop! It was a moment of foolishness! Please don't let this get out. I'd rather die!"
"As long as you keep this secret, I'll do anything you want!"
Yun Bufan looked intrigued. "Anything?"
"You know what I want," Yun Bufan said.
Dai Yuan bit her lip, looking determined. She began to unbutton her blouse, revealing her shoulders.
Yun Bufan immediately stopped her. "Hey, what are you doing?"
Tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes. "Aren't you asking me to…"
Yun Bufan snorted. "You misunderstood. I want you to tell me which materials are problematic. From now on, you work for me."
"Ah? You wanted that?" Dai Yuan pouted and looked slightly disappointed.
Yun Bufan:?
Dai Yuan sighed. "I didn't want to be entangled with Yun Biao, but he kept threatening me."
"Don't worry. I'll back you up from now on." Yun Bufan reassured.
"That's wonderful! Mr. Yun, you're not only young and handsome but also kind-hearted. You even seem to have a nice physique," Dai Yuan said, gazing at him affectionately.
Yun Bufan was speechless. This woman was truly insatiable.
"Manager Dai, remember my words. If you don't, everyone will know about you and Yun Biao." Yun Bufan warned.
Dai Yuan shivered. "Understood."
"I'll email you the details about the problematic materials." Dai Yuan said.
