Home/ The White-eyed Wolves I Personally Raised Are All Coveting My Legacy/ Chapter 22
Different from what Yu Zheng imagined, Si Yang’s secretary was unexpectedly a person worth pondering about.
He didn’t actually follow Si Yang from the beginning, but rather, after Si Yang planned to seize power, he dealt with the former secretary and chose a person without any background from below amidst his busy schedule. Later, because of the person’s rigorous work and no mistakes, Si Yang has been using him.
Upon further investigation, Yu Zheng found that this Xu Lin actually has various connections with the Yu family. He even went to college with the support of Yu Zheng’s father when he was still alive.
And Xu Lin’s family situation seems to be very difficult. His parents are sick, and his younger brother is just 18 years old. Unfortunately, he is studying in the most popular art department, which is very expensive. Xu Lin joined the Yu family after he graduated from the university. After repaying the financial support provided by Yu Zheng’s father, the remaining money was used to support the family, with no extra savings at all.
Further down is a short conversation between Xu Lin and his younger brother Xu Qiao at the entrance of the university, which I don’t know where the person dug it out from. While tidying Xu Qiao’s clothes, Xu Lin instructed him in a low voice.
“Eat well at school, don’t always think about saving money for your elder brother, you’re so thin.”
“I bought a violin for you to practice diligently. If it gets worn out, I will replace it with a new one for you.”
“Pay attention to your health. I bought you some new clothes for the cold weather. I think many people in your unit use this brand. You can’t compare yourself with your classmates, but we can’t have them looking down on us.”
“Xu Qiao, don’t think about anything else, don’t worry about the family, just leave everything to your brother!”
Hearing these few words, Yu Zheng suddenly froze. He suddenly realized that it has been more than four months since he returned home, but there are rarely such warm moments between him and Si Yang.
Even at the very beginning, Si Yang only patted his forehead lightly, and said to him with a smile, “Be good, okay?”
But even such a slightest intimacy, until now, has all turned into a never-ending tit-for-tat.
Leave everything to your brother! What a beautiful sentence? Unfortunately, this is someone else’s elder brother, while his elder brother Si Yang didn’t even bother to use such affectionate words when deceiving him.
Putting away these useless thoughts, Yu Zheng clicked on the name of Xu Lin’s younger brother Xu Qiao with the mouse, gradually forming a plan in his mind.
If you go to bed late at night, you will inevitably be less energetic the next day. Moreover, Yu Zheng was already beaten badly last night, it was already considered lucky if he didn’t get a fever.
Even though the wound was wrapped in gauze, Yu Zheng still felt a sharp pain the moment he put on the clothes. His hands only paused for a second, and then his actions became even more rough as if abusing himself.
By the time he walked downstairs, the pain in his back was so much that he felt numb all over. Sitting at the dining table, Yu Zheng casually picked up a bowl of porridge and took a sip.
Suddenly, there was some sudden sound upstairs, and Yu Zheng turned his head, feeling very surprised. It turned out to be Si Yang, who actually stayed overnight at the old house yesterday?
Upon closer inspection, Si Yang was indeed wearing clothes he keeps in the old house. I don’t know if it’s because of losing some weight recently, but the shirt on his body looks a bit loose, setting off his pale face, like a beautiful lamp that is about to shatter. But the next second, when their eyes met, the man’s momentum suddenly changed.
Yu Zheng was almost overwhelmed by the sudden momentum as he heard Si Yang speak, “Finish your breakfast in ten minutes, come with me to the company.”
Si Yang didn’t mean to share the table with Yu Zheng, and he didn’t eat either. He just took a document and sat on the sofa to read it. There is a meeting in the morning, and he still has a lot of work to do.
After Yu Zheng finished his meal in two-three bites, Si Yang also got up and led him out.
Coincidentally, the two brothers wore the same colored clothes today, and when they walked together, they really gave off a sense of brotherhood between them .
The old butler escorted them out, while the secretary was waiting at the door of the old house.
“Yu Zheng will temporarily take the position of my assistant from today, Xu Lin, you come and take him!” Si Yang instructed the secretary.
“Yes.” The secretary agreed, and then began to report Si Yang’s itinerary for the day. Unexpectedly, he didn’t even have the slightest intention to avoid Yu Zheng.
When he arrived at the company, Si Yang instructed the secretary, “I have something to do in the morning, so you accompany him to go through the necessary procedures.”
“Yes, young master, let’s go!” The secretary took the initiative to bring Yu Zheng along.
Yu Zheng looked at him a few times before suddenly saying, “Secretary Xu is really a very nice person.”
The secretary couldn’t figure out the meaning of Yu Zheng’s words, so he could only remain silent in the end——
In the next few days, Yu Zheng used the title of Si Yang’s assistant to get around the company without any obstacles. It was different from the confrontation between brothers that everyone imagined, Si Yang didn’t suppress Yu Zheng unexpectedly, and Yu Zheng also seemed as if he didn’t intend to seize power.
Most importantly, unlike other idle young masters, Yu Zheng was a very likable mascot.
Regardless of his gentle demeanor, just looking at his face has already earned him a good impression from many people.
In terms of work, he doesn’t seem to understand anything and won’t point fingers at others. Occasionally, he would chat with the employees below, but would always pay attention to propriety and won’t harass female employees casually. Most of the time, he stays in his office, quietly listening to his subordinates’ reports, and then signs documents under Xu Lin’s guidance.
Compared to those troublemakers who like to harass female employees for nothing, Yu Zheng is like an angel.
In the tea room, two female secretaries of the secretariat were chatting.
“Do you think the atmosphere in the company has improved since the young master arrived?”
“Of course! The young master loves to laugh and has a gentle temper. Simply his presence can make the scenery better regardless of the situation.”
“You know…I secretly sent the photo of the young master to my girlfriends, and they all exclaimed how handsome is, causing their hearts to melt!” The girl frowned as she whispered, “But there are some bad things…”
“What is it?”
“I’m getting fat!” The girl pinched her own face, “Young master always gives me afternoon tea and delicacies to eat, I’ve gotten really fat!” One of them wailed, and the teapot in her hand became a bit unstable.
“Be careful.” A hand stretched out from behind, helping her lift the bottom of the teapot. “You are not fat, it’s just that you were too thin before.”
“Ah! Young Master! You startled us.”
Yu Zheng felt a bit helpless, then pointed to the teapot in her hand, “You are going to be scolded!”
“Ah?”
“This is not how tea is brewed. That’s the way to brew the Western-style black tea.” While speaking, Yu Zheng rolled up his sleeves and took it. “Give it to me! You are not doing this right.”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to take over the task of making tea.
It can be said that Yu Zheng indeed had a good upbringing, with an indescribable elegance in every move. Different from Si Yang’s ostentatious noble appearance, Yu Zheng is more restrained. But this kind of calmness gives people in front of him a gentle feeling similar to a jade.
The two girls looked at each other and felt embarrassed.
Just then, the secretary walked in.
“Brother Lin!”
“Go ahead first, I’ll bring it in for the young master later.”
“Okay.” Xu Lin was very taciturn and serious. Compared to Si Yang, the employees in the secretariat were more afraid of him, so they hurriedly left.
Yu Zheng heard the voice, but his movement of brewing tea didn’t stop.
The secretary walked up to him and stood still.
After a while, Yu Zheng spoke up, “Xu Lin, I heard that you’ve been borrowing money from someone recently, right?”
The secretary’s expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Yu Zheng fixedly and asked, “Why did the young master suddenly ask this?”
Yu Zheng smiled without speaking, and continued to make tea with his hands. Hot water poured into the teapot, and the hot air mixed with the faint aroma of tea rushed up, becoming solidified due to the dignified atmosphere.
“I am just asking casually.” The tea was clearly made for Si Yang, but Yu Zheng poured a cup for the secretary first.
“Young master, if you have something to say, just say it directly.” The secretary took a step back and looked at him.
Dressed in a white shirt and jeans, Yu Zheng’s smile was gentle and soft, and he was born with the ability to make people let go of their guard in front of him. But the secretary knew that Si Yang had already raised him into a wolf cub with sharp fangs.
And now, this wolf cub had already set its sight on his throat.
“Secretary Xu doesn’t have to be on guard in front of me.” Seeing through his thoughts, Yu Zheng put the teacup in his hand, “I am just making some small talk.”
While speaking, Yu Zheng handed him a document in his hand.
The document has the detailed information of the annual tuition and expenses of the symphony orchestra, along with the medical expenses that Xu Lin’s parents need every year for their illness.
“You can do the math yourself, and then tell me your plan.” Yu Zheng poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip carefully.
“How do you know all this?” The secretary knew what it was just by looking at the first page.
“Talking to smart people is really convenient. But the thing I really want to hear is, what is the price for you to betray Si Yang?”
“Young master, I think you may have misunderstood something, I don’t need it.”
“I understand, but don’t rush to refuse.” Yu Zheng waved his hand, “Even if you don’t have 600,000 yuan right now, with your current status, you can surely borrow 600,000 yuan. But what about the future? How will your brother live after going abroad?”
“Your mother has always needed medicine to maintain her health due to illness. Your father has already run out of fuel because he worked really hard in the first half of his life.”
“Young master… what exactly are you trying to say?”
“I can give you money. I don’t need you to do anything that will damage the Yu family’s business. After all, this is also my company. As long as you tell me about Si Yang’s whereabouts when necessary.”
“But the Eldest Young Master has the account of the money you have.”
“Really?” Yu Zheng chuckled, “Then how do you say I got your information?”
“On the black market, I bought your whole family’s life history for as little as 50,000 yuan. Does Si Yang know about this?”
“…” The secretary gasped.
“I have my own way to get money from the Yu family. Don’t say 600,000, I also have 6 million. It just depends on how you choose.”
“Si Yang is going to die sooner or later. He vomits blood whenever he gets angry. I will have many opportunities to kill him later. Of course, I am not afraid, but once the emperor dies, what will the courtier do? Once Si Yang dies, what can you, his personal secretary, do?”
“Of course, you may want to say that I may not be able to take the top position, but no matter who sits in the position, I may not die, but you… definitely will not end well.”
“Finally, let me tell you something, I heard that your brother looked good at the Conservatory of Music. Guess who told me about your family in the first place?”
“No one has touched him until now, but what about in the future?” Yu Zheng finally revealed his claws as he whispered in the secretary’s ear, “Aren’t you a good brother?”
