Chapter 379: This Situation Exceeded My Expectations_1


    “`


    During this period, while I was busy settling thepany’s ounts, Aunt Shen also helped me look for Gu Yuanzhou’s overseas ounts.


    There were some investments he made abroad, and also a shellpany he had registered. To facilitate the flow of funds, these capitals went through his personal ounts, and sometimes, Aunt Shen would help manage them, such as handling the taxes.


    But Gu Yuanzhou usually took care of these details himself, and Aunt Shen didn’t specifically know whichputer in finance he kept them on.


    Therefore, Aunt Shen had been taking time out of her days to help me search, and now, atst, there was progress.


    “What do you mean by someone transferred them?”


    “It’s about dozens of billions of assets in Mr. Gu’s personal ount! Theoretically, it should be unmonitored because the funds in that ount are in Swiss Bank. Mr. Gu had an agreement with the bank. Other than him, no one else could transfer it. But now I see half of the funds in the online ount have been transferred away.”


    Aunt Shen was somewhat astonished at this point,


    “I’ve worked in finance most of my life, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation. It’s truly unusual. The money in this ount wasn’t supposed to go like this.”


    But I was a bit calmer than Aunt Shen.


    “Aunt Shen, is it possible that Gu Yuanzhou partnered with someone before he died, or that he has close rtives abroad, with whom the bank signed some kind of cooperative agreement, allowing another person to operate the ount?”


    “Oh, the situation you mentioned could exist. But Mr. Gu never disclosed such a thing to me.”


    “Some shady business, or partners whom he preferred to keep in the dark, it’s possible he wouldn’t have told you about them.”


    “Miss Song, you make some sense. However, in principle, this money should be yours. If you have time, you should go to Swiss Bank and rify this matter. After all, it’s such arge sum, and it would be a pity not to retrieve it.”


    “Hmm, okay!”


    Although Aunt Shen’s suggestion was good.


    I am so busy right now that it’s simply impossible for me to go to Switzend for this matter.


    I’m even thinking that if Gu Yuanzhou had other rtives alive, it might be a good thing.


    After all, I have already borrowed from the bank to repay the external debt, and I’m not so concerned about this sum anymore.


    Right now, all my focus is on reestablishing Zhenyi Company.


    I want Zhenyi Company to return to its former state.


    For me, this actually isn’t too difficult.


    I’m familiar with the business, I have the connections, and design is my forte…


    In less than a week, I got Zhenyi Company back up and running.


    It also happened by coincidence that the day of the reopening was exactly ten years from the day Gu Yuanzhou and I founded Zhenyi Company.


    I ordered two flower baskets and asked Wenya and other friends toe over and liven things up then.


    But the next morning when I arrived at thepany’s entrance, I waspletely stunned.


    Just after one night, the entrance of thepany’s building had beenpletely redecorated. Dozens of beautiful flower baskets were lined up in two rows.


    A festive red arch was erected at the entrance with the words “Warmly Celebrate the Reopening of Zhenyi Company” written on it, the gold lettering shimmering in the sunlight.


    Additionally, a band hade to y, and two long tables were set up beside with candy and drinks, drawing the attention of passersby and causing them to gather around.


    The celebration was grand, and a huge electronic screen hung on the wall, disying thepany’s development history over the past decade.


    All the outstanding award-winning works had been made into PPT animations, shing on the screen, attracting many onlookers.


    Soon after, arge truck stopped across from thepany, and a long dragon dance team got off, the sound of gongs and drums beating vigorously, making the scene very lively.


    Such a grand spectacle also drew reporters from nearby news media, who came to cover the event, each beginning to interview.


    Later on, even an official ribbon-cutting team arrived,plete with a host, and began the ribbon-cutting ceremony.


    For a moment, I felt bewildered, as if I had returned to the days when Zhenyi Company first opened.


    Back then, Gu Yuanzhou stood by my side, wrapped his arms around my waist, and said to me with deep affection,


    “`


    “Honey, from now on, we’ll fight and strive together…”


    “Ayun, cut it!”


    Wenya held a tube of confetti in her hand, smiling at me.


    In the distance, Shen Yishu was also recording this precious moment with his video camera.


    With a loud bang, as the confetti soared into the sky, I also picked up the golden scissors and made that significant cut. When I looked dazedly into the crowd, I thought I saw Gu Yuanzhou’s figure.


    He was watching me from afar.


    Just as I looked carefully his way, he vanished into the crowd.


    “Ayun, Ayun!”


    Wenya excitedly called out to me.


    “Look at the camera, don’t daydream!”


    “Oh, right… Okay…”


    Only then did I refocus my attention, returning to the present where the scene was lively and the crowd was thick, but amid this sea of people, I couldn’t feel any warmth.


    Only endless loneliness.


    After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Ding Xiao also sent over a basket of flowers.


    Mom Ding brought Ding Ruirui along to join in the fun as well.


    Mom Ding took my hand to congratte me,


    “Xiaoyun, work hard! Who knows, you might make a bigeback in the future.”


    “Little Auntie, you look so beautiful today. Little Auntie, why haven’t you been hometely, ah? Little Auntie, I really miss you.”


    The sweet, tender little voice made my heart soft.


    Actually, I never formally discussed my divorce from Ding Yinuo with Mom Ding.


    For one thing, I didn’t know how toy it all out for her, and on the other hand, I took it for granted that this sort of thing should be conveyed by Ding Yinuo, since it’s a matter for the Ding family, and now I’m an outsider.


    But at this moment, in front of the child, I didn’t know what to say.


    After all, she called me Little Auntie…


    No matter whether my rtionship with Ding Yinuo existed or not, I still liked this little cutie.


    I picked her up, took a photo with her, then gave her some candy, cajoling her,


    “Ruirui, Little Auntie has been quite busy recently and hasn’t had time toe over.”


    “Then why didn’t you invite Little Uncle today?”


    “Well, Little Uncle he… Oops, I forgot! Actually, it’s not such a big deal! It’s just a little celebration today.”


    This little one was quite clever, with lots to say, and she could think for herself; it would take a lot of effort to trick her.


    “A little celebration? Grandma said you’re starting a bigpany! It’s a very important event, so, grandma had me wear my prettiest dress and told me to be good, right?”


    “Pfft, Ruirui is really a smart and adorable little one!”


    “Little Auntie, can I borrow your phone for a moment?”


    “Oh, sure!”


    I didn’t pay much attention to what the little girl might do and handed over my phone without much thought, not expecting that she would immediately dial Ding Yinuo’s number.


    “Little Uncle, Little Uncle, can youe to Little Auntie’s ce right now?”
