On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God
Chapter 115 - 115: Mei Hua

"W-We have a problem!"

"Hm?" Chen Ying's eyebrows raised in curiosity as she looked up from her work desk.

She could sense the urgency in the woman's voice.

"What's going on?" she asked in a serious tone.

The sadness that had previously clouded her face vanished, and instead, the cold and distant woman that everyone was accustomed to seeing emerged once more.

"I...I," the woman tried to speak but wasn't able to mutter any words.

Observing the woman's utter shock and pale complexion, Chen Ying let out a sigh and promptly rose from her seat, making her way towards her.

"Mei Hua, take a deep breath and try to calm down. You're welcome to speak with me about this matter, Chen Ying assured her, aiming to help Mei Hua relax.

Mei Hua was a woman of mesmerizing beauty, with an ageless allure that defied time.

Though her true age was in her early thirties, she possessed a youthful radiance that would easily lead one to believe she was in her early twenties.

Her enchanting face was reminiscent of the most delicate and intricate porcelain artwork, delicately painted with elegance and grace.

Like a blooming lotus in the morning light, her skin was fair and flawless, adorned with a soft, natural glow that seemed to emanate from within.

Mei Hua's brows were finely arched, perfectly framing her captivating eyes.

They bore a subtle hint of determination and wisdom, which only added to the allure of her face.

Her high, sculpted cheekbones lent an air of sophistication to her appearance.

Her lips, like delicate rose petals, were gracefully curved, exuding a natural rosy hue that contrasted beautifully with her fair complexion.

Adorned with a touch of light makeup that enhanced her natural beauty, Mei Hua carried herself with elegance and poise.

Her hair, as blue as the sky, cascaded down her shoulders like a silken waterfall, framing her enchanting visage with an air of mystery and allure.

In her presence, one couldn't help but be captivated by the ethereal beauty that seemed to surround her.

Her ageless face held the wisdom of time, the charm of youth, and the grace of a thousand blooming flowers.

After soothing Mei Hua's distress, Chen Ying inquired about the reason for her abrupt entrance. She knew that Mei Hua wouldn't barge in like that unless there was something of significant importance bothering her.

"Now are you feeling better?"

"Um." Mei Hua nodded and wiped away the tears that stained her porcelain cheeks.

She took a deep breath and began to explain the reason for her panicking.

"Th-The investor that we had been counting on for our new business suddenly pulled out," Mei Hua stammered, her voice trembling.

"Without their support, we won't be able to keep the new business afloat. All our hard work will go to waste." Chen Ying's heart sank as she listened to Mei Hua's words, realizing the gravity of the situation.

"What on earth happened?!" Chen Ying exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration. "Why? Didn't they agree to the conditions we set for them?"

Mei Hua wiped away another tear and continued, "They claimed that due to unforeseen circumstances, they had to redirect their funds elsewhere. It's a devastating blow to our plans."

Chen Ying's mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.

"Everything was going as planned; I had everything under control, so why?" Chen Ying's mind raced as she tried to figure out what happened.

"Mei Hua, do you know where they divert their funds to?" Chen Ying inquired.

"I will investigate it,"

Mei Hua quickly pulled out her phone and began searching for any information about where the funds could have been redirected.

As she scrolled through various folders and financial reports, Chen Ying anxiously awaited her response.

After a few tense moments, Mei Hua's eyes widened in realization. She turned to Chen Ying and said,

"I think I found it. The funds were redirected to..." Mei Hua sopped.

"Who!" Chen Ying exclaimed impatiently, eager to hear the answer.

Mei Hua hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowing as she continued, "To the Yi family."

Chen Ying's heart sank as she realized what happened.

"Yi Guo, you despicable bastard!!" She yelled, her rage echoing loudly in the room.

"Yi family them again." Chen Ying muttered under her breath, her frustration evident.

It wasn't the first time that the Yi family dared attack their business, but this time the business that Chen Ying was planning to do was especially important.

She had been working tirelessly for months, putting every ounce of her energy into securing the deal.

The thought of the Yi family sabotaging her efforts made her blood boil with anger.

|Dingg|

Suddenly, her phone started to ring, interrupting her anger. Chen Ying sighed in annoyance and reached for her phone.

She glanced at the screen, It was an unknown number, and curiosity got the better of her as she answered the call.

"Hello, who is this?" Chen Ying asked cautiously.

"Hello baby," a familiar voice said on the other end of the line.

Chen Ying's eyes widened in shock as she recognized the voice, her anger boiling within her.

"Yi Guo, you fucking dick! How dare you call me after all you did?" She seethed, her voice trembling with a mix of rage and frustration.

"Oh, darling, what did I do to make you this angry, haha, haha?" Yi Guo's voice sounded mocking and filled with a twisted sense of satisfaction.

Chen Ying could feel her blood boiling, her heart pounding in her chest. How could he have the audacity to call her, acting as if he didn't do anything.

"You fucking bastard, why did you steal our investor!"

"Hahaha, my dear Chen Ying, you've always been so naive," Yi Guo replied with a cunning tone, relishing in the tension he had caused.

"Steal? Oh, that's such a harsh word. Let's say I merely convinced them that their interests would be better served by me. You know how persuasive I can be when I want something."

Chen Ying clenched her fists, trying to maintain her composure despite the rage boiling inside her.

"You know very well that the investor was committed to our project. We had an agreement, and you broke it!"

Yi Guo let out another sinister laugh. "Agreements are meant to be broken, my dear. Besides, they were more interested in the potential of my latest venture. Can you blame them? It's not my fault if they see a brighter future with me."

"You manipulated them! It's not right, and you know it," Chen Ying shot back, trying to reason with him, though she knew he wouldn't listen.

"Business is all about seizing opportunities, darling. And I seized it masterfully," Yi Guo gloated. "You should learn from me. The world is not for the weak and sentimental. It's a ruthless game, and you either play or get played."

"I won't let you get away with this," Chen Ying vowed, her determination flickering in her eyes.

"Oh, please, spare me your righteous indignation," Yi Guo said dismissively. "You're just upset because I beat you at your own game. But that's how the world works – the cunning prevails.

"And you know what I desire, don't you?

If you fulfill my wishes, I will..."

"Freaking die, you pig!" Without giving Yi Guo a chance to respond, Chen Ying abruptly ended the call. She had no intention of subjecting herself to his manipulative words any further.

"Miss what are we going to do now?" Mei Hua asked with concern, her voice trembling slightly.

Chen Ying took a deep breath, her determination resurfacing. "We're not going to let him win," she declared, her eyes narrowing with a steely resolve.

"We'll find another way, let's go!"

"O-Okay!" Mei Hua nodded and followed after Chen Ying.

With that, Chen Ying and Mei Hua departed from the office building, resolute to find a solution to their predicament.
