Jin Zi Meng shook her head; we had never met or spoken before.
Tong Le said, "You should have heard about the situation at home. In the future, Tongshan Real Estate will be expelling Ke Jie from the company, so to put it simply, Ke Jie won't be able to support you. I called you in for an interview not only to see you but also to discuss this situation. I think you could try interning at Tongshan Real Estate, but whether you want to join the company is up to you."
Jin Zi Meng was a bit surprised. "I can intern at the company? Really? But my mom said you two are going through a divorce."
Tong Le smiled. "Business and personal matters shouldn't be mixed."
Jin Zi Meng replied excitedly, "That's great! Actually, I've sent out several resumes recently, but those big companies have all rejected me. I also applied to companies similar in size to Tongshan Real Estate, and they told me to wait for notifications from school, but I haven't received any job offers."
Tong Le said, "You can give it a try; after all, we are somewhat like family. However, if you're working for Ke Jie, I absolutely do not welcome that."
Jin Zi Meng exclaimed, "I've never even met Ke Jie! He hasn't promised me anything; it's just that my mom wants me to learn and develop in her company. She hopes I can have a stable future."
Tong Le replied, "Then it's settled. You can start working soon; let Jiang Zhichao take you around."
Jin Zi Meng stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Sister-in-law!"
Hearing her call her "Sister-in-law," Tong Le felt a bit awkward but smiled nonetheless. The title was correct, but it showed that Jin Zi Meng was still quite naive and hadn't been swayed or brainwashed by Ke Jie yet.
Tong Le thought that her move was likely a good one. While she couldn't control Ke Jie and Ke Wei Qiang—those two were quite cunning—she could look for a breakthrough through Jin Feng and Jin Zi Meng as a mother-daughter pair.
After Jin Zi Meng left, Tong Le held her phone and walked into an empty corridor. She dialed the private detective's number.
Once connected, Tong Le said, "I need you to look into Jin Zi Meng's information, including her life and study experiences during her four years at university."
The detective replied, "No problem; I actually have some news for you. During her four years at university, Jin Zi Meng took on quite a few part-time jobs."
Tong Le frowned. "Is she in financial trouble?"
The detective responded, "Not really. She used the money she earned from those jobs to pay for off-campus dance classes and even participated in some dance events on her own dime. It seems she really enjoys dancing."
Tong Le pondered for a moment and said, "I see; thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Le received a WeChat message from Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting expressed her gratitude: "Tong Le Jie, I've decided to give Zong Group a shot. If it doesn't work out, I'll go home and focus on my studies. Thank you for your help."
Tong Le encouraged her: "Good luck! I'll talk to Wen on your behalf."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, at Lan Qingqing Apartment.
Ke Jie sat on the sofa with his head wrapped in bandages, looking dejected. Beside him, Zhang Huizhi was heartbroken over her son's injuries, cursing Tong Le's ancestors all afternoon.
Lan Qingqing had just returned and, seeing the two gloomy faces of Ke Jie and Zhang Huizhi, felt a surge of anger rising within her.
Mo Kai Liang brought over some fruit tea and poured a cup for everyone.
The four of them sat in the living room, discussing their next steps. Zhang Huizhi was incessantly complaining, which only irritated Ke Jie further. He snapped, "Can you please stop talking? Is whining going to help? I need solutions right now!"
Zhang Huizhi immediately shifted her curses towards Ke Wei Qiang. "What about him? He came all the way to the city to help you, but what is he doing? Out drinking and playing cards! He should go take care of Tong Le and that Zong Zeyu! End this once and for all!"
Lan Qingqing rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Is saying all this even useful? If you hadn't lost two million in cash, would any of this have happened?"
Furious, Zhang Huizhi shot back, "Don't put the blame on me! I had a terrible day at Zong Group! And now I have to deal with your nonsense at home? Whether I lost that two million or not has nothing to do with Tong Le's affair! It's Tong Le who ruined my son! That damn woman!"
Ke Jie shouted in frustration, "Stop yelling! Do you all want to die?"
Grinding her teeth in anger, Zhang Huizhi suddenly came up with a terrible idea. "Son, why don’t you just divorce Tong Le? That Zong Zeyu likes her, right? You could make Tong Le ask him for ten million! Once you get that money, divorce her and let her be with Zong Zeyu! The Zong Family is wealthy; let them bleed financially!"
Lan Qingqing mocked Zhang Huizhi again. "Auntie, do you think ten million is a lot? Do you even know how much Tongshan Real Estate is worth? Do you know how much that property under Tong Le's name is worth? It's worth over a hundred million! Over a hundred million! Do you still think Tong Le's affair has nothing to do with you? If it weren't for your losing that two million in cash and angering Tong Le, she might not have thought about divorcing Ke Jie! Life would go on as usual; money would keep flowing! Who knows, by now, Jie might have already tricked that property away!"
Zhang Huizhi wanted to retort but realized Lan Qingqing had a point; she had indeed stirred up trouble in this situation.
Suddenly overwhelmed, Zhang Huizhi collapsed from the sofa onto the floor, throwing a tantrum. "I can't live like this anymore! I want to take them down with me! I want them to suffer!"
