Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 428 A Beautiful Victory

Yao Ziqian glared at Wang Ziliang, his teeth itching with hatred. Wang Ziliang, of course, noticed Yao Ziqian's hostile gaze. He felt a pang of guilt at first, then his anger flared up again. All he had was a past, and they were all using it to threaten him. Shouldn't he be the one who was angry?

He snorted coldly and didn't even look at Yao Ziqian anymore. This time, Yao Ziqian was not just angry, he was completely baffled and at a loss.

"Vice President Wang, one should be loyal. Those who waver between two sides will never have a good ending." Yao Ziqian had already torn off all pretense and didn't care at all about the blatant threat in public.

Wang Ziliang was startled and subconsciously looked at Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo sneered, a mocking smile curving her lips. "Yao Ziqian, are you threatening my colleague to my face? Don't forget, you're no longer one of us!"

Yan Zuozuo's tone was very serious, which made Yao Ziqian feel guilty and less confident in his speech. "That depends on whether anyone is threatened."

"You, an outsider, are running wild on our own turf. Do you think anyone is threatened?" Yan Zuozuo glanced around at everyone present. "Everyone here is a decision-maker for a charity. Yao Ziqian, I'll ask you one question: are you going to stop or not?"

Yan Zuozuo had issued an ultimatum. Yao Ziqian stared intently at her. He had almost staked everything on this day. If he lost to Yan Zuozuo, there would truly be no way out.

"So what if I stop? So what if I don't? I've worked in charity for so many years, I've done my part, even if I haven't made any great contributions. You're just trying to wipe me out like this. Do you think I'll stop?"

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "Very well, since Mr. Yao insists on this, then he can only bear the consequences himself."

"What do you mean by 'bearing the consequences'? Do you expect me to let Chi Moqing kill me?"

Upon hearing Yao Ziqian drag Chi Moqing into the conversation, Yan Zuozuo flew into a rage. She slammed her hand on the table and roared at Yao Ziqian, "Yao Ziqian, do you know what it means to reap what you sow? You think you only have one copy of what you have? Let me tell you, I also have a copy of those materials that hold dirt on everyone here! Moreover, I have evidence of your crimes. Based on these alone, you can expect to face legal consequences!"

After speaking, Yan Zuozuo looked at everyone present, like a queen on high, and said directly, "I, Yan Zuozuo, want to make a statement here: if you continue to follow Yao Ziqian in doing evil, then you will bear the consequences of everything you do! But if you can wake up in time, I will punish you accordingly for what you did before, but I will definitely not let you get into trouble!"

Yan Zuozuo's words were tantamount to laying everything bare, leaving everyone present stunned. In other words, not only Yao Ziqian, but now Yan Zuozuo also had dirt on them?

There is no neutral ground; whether it's Yao Ziqian or Yan Zuozuo, they must choose one side. Otherwise, neither of them will fare well. But the question is, who will ultimately win, and who should they choose? As the saying goes, one thought can lead to heaven or hell; if they choose wrong, the consequences will be utter ruin.

The group looked at each other, none of them willing to speak.

Yao Ziqian clearly realized he had lost power and immediately spoke up, "Yan Zuozuo, this is a blatant threat! Let me tell you, based on this alone, you are not qualified to sit in the position of chairman!"

He's no longer qualified to be the president, but even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him. As long as these people oppose Yan Zuozuo, she won't get her way! Anyone who dares to ruin his entire plan will also face a terrible end!

"Whether you're qualified or not isn't up to you to decide." Yan Zuozuo gave a mocking smile, then looked at Meng Yuanfei, "Manager Meng, are you going to support me in taking the position of chairman, or are you planning to oppose it?"

Hmm, wouldn't you say I got shot even though I was lying down?

Meng Yuanfei shrugged: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I just said that, I will naturally support you now."

Now, apart from the president, the two most powerful people in the entire charity are on Yan Zuozuo's side, and the rest naturally have their own agendas. Whether they support or oppose Yan Zuozuo depends on their own resolve.

The atmosphere reached a stalemate, and Yan Zuozuo's patience ran out. She spoke directly, "Five minutes to consider, then a vote!"

The group whispered among themselves, as if exchanging opinions. Just then, there was a knock on the meeting room door, and Chi Moqing entered carrying a delicious-looking lunch, heading straight for Yan Zuozuo.

Yao Ziqian was still angry. When he saw Chi Moqing enter, he said rudely, "General Chi, this is an internal matter of our charity. It's not appropriate for you to come in."

Chi Moqing gave him a cold look, then placed the lunch in front of Yan Zuozuo. "It's time to eat. Your stomach isn't good, so have something to eat first. I'll cook for you when I get home later." After saying that, he took a moment to add, "Zuozuo is my wife. I was worried about her health, so I brought the food over. I hope that didn't bother you, Mr. Yao?"

Yao Ziqian paused, his teeth itching with anger.

Everyone was stunned, their jaws nearly dropping, as they watched Chi Moqing's gentle and considerate demeanor and heard him say he would cook for Yan Zuozuo when he got back. Was this really the renowned God of War, the inviolable Chi Moqing of the rumors?

envy, jealousy, hate!

Chi Moqing didn't care about what others thought. He watched Yan Zuozuo drink the porridge and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Eat slowly, or your stomach will hurt again."

Yan Zuozuo smiled at him, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Seeing that Yan Zuozuo was about to finish eating, Chi Moqing glanced at everyone present and said slowly, "My wife has a sensitive stomach and needs more time to recover. I hope you will understand. The meeting has been going on for quite a while, and we should have said what we needed to say. It would be better to get to a conclusion as soon as possible. If you cannot resolve this yourselves in ten minutes, then don't blame me, Chi Moqing, for intervening."

His brows exuded an undeniable air of authority and dominance, leaving none of those present daring to utter a word.

Chi Moqing lowered his head and kissed Yan Zuozuo's forehead. "Wife, I'll be waiting for you outside."

Chi Moqing wished he could shield Yan Zuozuo from all the trouble and pain, but this was a matter she had to resolve herself. So, he endured it. However, one morning was already his limit. If these people dared to be disrespectful again, he would teach them what it meant to bear the consequences!

Yan Zuozuo smiled sweetly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Chi Moqing squeezed her hand tightly, then looked up and said, "As far as I know, nearly one-fifth of the donations from our domestic branches come from the Chi Group. No matter what your final outcome is, if my wife suffers even the slightest injustice, the Chi Group will terminate all donations!"

Everyone gasped. One-fifth of the donations was no small sum, and what was even more serious was that if the Chi family stopped donating, it would bring a series of negative rumors to the charity, and the domestic branch would really face collapse.

It has to be said that Chi Moqing's move was ruthless, killing the enemy invisibly!

"Remember, ten minutes." After saying that, Chi Moqing left, taking Yan Zuozuo's empty bowl and chopsticks with him.

Yan Zuozuo watched his tall and handsome back, her heart filled with sweetness. Meanwhile, Wang Ziliang was even more shocked. He hadn't expected that someone of Chi Moqing's prominent status could be so doting on an ordinary woman. It wasn't an act; it was genuine. Every action, every word, revealed his deep affection for Yan Zuozuo.

He didn't understand, nor did he comprehend, but the scene before him unconsciously reminded him of how Wu Xiaoran's mother had treated him back then—such a caring and gentle woman, yet he had abandoned her in the end…

He knew she was still alive, but he never had the courage to face her. He owed her so much in this life, and he was too ashamed to see her.

Watching Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing interact, Wang Ziliang felt a pang of sadness. Regardless of what Yan Zuozuo possessed that made Chi Moqing willingly love her so much, he had nothing to worry about based on Chi Moqing's protectiveness towards her.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ziliang stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, time's up. I believe you've all made your own decisions. Let's skip the unnecessary formalities and just vote by raising our hands. Those who disagree with Yan Zuozuo taking the position of president, please raise your hands."

In the quiet meeting room, everyone looked at each other, some wanting to raise their hands, but seeing that no one around them moved, they quietly lowered their hands. In the end, not a single person raised their hand.

Yao Ziqian was stunned by the result. He stared straight at Wang Ziliang, his eyes blazing with anger.

Wang Ziliang ignored him and continued, "Those who support Yan Zuozuo taking the position of president, please raise your hands. Note that those who abstain and remain neutral will be considered to have resigned automatically. The vote will now begin."

After Wang Ziliang said that, almost everyone raised their hands in unison.

Wang Ziliang nodded: "Manager Meng and I agree that Yan Zuozuo should become the president. In that case, I hereby announce that Ms. Yan Zuozuo will serve as the new president of the domestic branch." After speaking, he looked at Yan Zuozuo, "Congratulations, President Yan, it's a unanimous vote. I will arrange for someone to deliver the relevant procedures and documents to your office. I hope that under President Yan's leadership, the domestic branch will achieve even greater success."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and thanked him. There was no impassioned speech or moving words. She simply walked up to Yao Ziqian and said, word by word, "Mr. Yao, you are in the wrong seat. Although you are no longer with the charity, you can continue to sit and listen if you wish."

Yao Ziqian's face turned green. He glared at Yan Zuozuo, stood up angrily, and slammed the chair to the ground with a loud thud.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at the chair on the ground and saw Wu Xiaoran coming over to help her up, but she stopped her, saying, "This chair is too old and should be replaced. I will need to rely on everyone for my work in the future, so it is only right that I stand today."

Seeing this, many people wanted to stand up, but she stopped them. Her pure and kind demeanor garnered them even more goodwill. If a charity is led by such a pure-hearted woman, surely it will truly fulfill its responsibilities?

Yan Zuozuo mingled with everyone, while Yao Ziqian watched with fury. From his glamorous appearance as chairman to his expulsion from the charity, only two hours had passed.

He lost, lost miserably, and he knew very well that he had not obtained the charity president's pass, which meant he had also lost the right to bribe the police, and what awaited him was the most severe legal punishment!

Seeing Yao Ziqian's disheveled appearance, Yan Zuozuo gave a cold smile, "Mr. Yao, since everyone is here, I have a question I would like to ask you."

Yao Ziqian ignored her and walked straight outside. He needed to get out of the country as soon as possible; maybe he could escape this predicament.

"What did you say to Chairman Chi that night?"
