134: Chapter 134: Bribery (Extra for book friend Jue Ying Xuan Tian) (38th update) 134: Chapter 134: Bribery (Extra for book friend Jue Ying Xuan Tian) (38th update) “Sister, don’t be offended by my blunt words, but I’m thinking of the Ye Group.
You really have no sense of the bigger picture; that warship is of no use in your hands.
Moreover, I’ve heard you haven’t ard your first group, but rather the logistics twelfth group— isn’t that a waste of resources?”
“I think that’s none of your business, isn’t it?”
“Don’t be so sure of yourself; it may not be my business, but sister, you seem to have forgotten the guild rule of ‘first priority’.
You’re aware of that, aren’t you?
Surely, you’re not planning to ignore the guild rules.”
Ye Wei accused aggressively.
Ye Xue also replied with equal firmness, “Sister Seven, you’re right, but you’ve forgotten sothing too.
Aside from the first priority rule, the guild has another rule.
Whoever earns the equipnt gets first dibs on it.
Isn’t that the basic principle we follow?
Haven’t you seen that I’d rather arm the twelfth group than the first just to be fair?”
“You!
Ye Xue, don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
If I might speak plainly, your mother was just a maid, with no status or identity.
You owe your achievents to our father’s magnanimity, which afforded you the sa treatnt as us.
You should be grateful, or else you’d be nothing!”
Ye Wei beca increasingly frustrated and her words grew harsher.
Ye Xue’s hands, hanging by her side, clenched into fists involuntarily.
She bit her lip, and blood trickled out.
If cats have a sensitive spot on their tails, then Ye Xue’s was her mother.
“Enough!”
Ye Tian, who was sitting in a chair, looked on coldly and then shouted in displeasure.
“Oh, Sister Seven, you should not speak so harshly.
We’re all family here.
Sister Ye Xue has finally got her hands on sothing good; can’t we be a bit more lenient?”
At that mont, the second sister, Ye Haitang, also smiled and tried to smooth things over.
Even the third brother, Ye Qilong, chid in: “That’s right, we’re all family, and I think Ye Xue is right.
The equipnt she worked so hard to get should naturally be used by her first.”
Of course, neither of them was truly trying to help Ye Xue; they simply didn’t want the warship to end up in the hands of the eldest.
They were openly and secretly competing with Ye Wuheng, and if he got the warship and beca more powerful, their days would beco harder.
“It’s not like it’s for free.
How could the eldest brother mistreat her?
He would surely compensate her in other ways.”
Ye Wei was still not giving up.
“I don’t need it.”
Ye Xue was still adamant in her refusal.
Although Ye Wuheng felt a little displeased, as the eldest, he still spoke with grace.
“We’re all family.
Don’t let a trifle hurt our feelings.
Doing so would pain our father.
Sister Ye Xue, whoever gets the good equipnt you’ve acquired, it makes no difference, as ultimately it’s an achievent of our guild…”
After listening, Ye Wei didn’t say much more, rely scoffing as she looked at Ye Xue.
As for the other siblings, they just watched the drama unfold with an attitude of indifference, as if it had nothing to do with them.
At that ti, Ye Tian spoke up: “Go back and focus on your developnt.
Dismissed.”
“Yes, father…”
…
The next morning, at the Dawn Group’s tenth building, Zhao Han ca to the guild early.
“Good morning, Sister Zhao Han.”
…..
The colleagues she passed by greeted her with great respect.
“Good morning.”
Zhao Han nodded slightly, in an excellent mood.
However, when Zhao Han arrived at the door to her office, she suddenly stopped.
She discovered that the door was slightly ajar.
Zhao Han frowned slightly; she rembered clearly that the door was closed when she left the day before.
Soone had been in her office!
Zhao Han pushed open the office door and was greeted by the sight of a lady dressed in sumptuous attire, with fair skin and an arrogant deanor, sitting in her place.
Normally, who would dare to intrude into her office and seat themselves at her desk?
When she saw who it was, her heart skipped a beat.
She recognized the woman in front of her: Ye Wei, the seventh princess of the Ye Family, who was also Qian Chengxue’s older sister.
This woman’s family held imnse power, and as such, she was accustod to being domineering and arrogant.
With her presence there, Zhao Han couldn’t help but feel that it was not going to be good news, and besides, she couldn’t afford to offend her.
Zhao Han put on a bright smile and greeted her, “Princess Number Seven, what brings you here today?”
“Zhao Han, no need for those pleasantries with , I’m here on business.”
Ye Wei gazed at Zhao Han.
“What business?
Please, speak.”
Zhao Han’s heart tensed up even more; she could sense that the other party had co prepared.
“You’re in charge of The Crane Orchid, aren’t you?” Ye Wei said with a smirk that was not quite a smile.
“Princess Number Seven, The Crane Orchid is indeed in my hands, but I don’t see how that concerns you?”
Zhao Han’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant; she realized exactly what the other party was after.
“Zhao Han, how much does Ye Xue pay you a month?
If I’m not mistaken, it’s no more than 15,000 at most.
Even with bonuses and such, you would probably bring ho only about 200,000 a year.”
“Princess Number Seven, I don’t understand why you’re bringing this up?”
Zhao Han spoke more cautiously, not daring to say a wrong word that might be used against her.
Contrary to what Zhao Han expected, Ye Wei promptly pulled out a check and slapped it on the desk.
The check was filled out for five million!
“This is five million.
You could work yourself to death here for decades without spending a cent and still not earn this much.
I’m offering you a chance right now—if you switch over, it’s all yours.
And that’s not all; once you switch, I’ll double your salary!
That, along with various other benefits…” Ye Wei promised generously.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t tempted.
Who could resist such a trendous sum of money?
However, Zhao Han knew all too well that she wasn’t worth that much.
To put it plainly, Ye Wei’s offer was ant to undermine Qian Chengxue and to take The Crane Orchid from her.
Ye Wei, looking at Zhao Han who was lost in silent thought, smiled even more brilliantly.
In this world, everyone had their price; if a deal couldn’t be made, it simply ant the price wasn’t right.
…
Elsewhere, Su Mo yawned as he erged from the subway and made his way alone toward Dawn Group not far away.
He had stayed up late the previous night, engrossed in forum discussions, and had overslept in the morning, while Zi Qing and the others had left early.
Just as Su Mo approached the entrance of the group building, a person suddenly appeared before him, blocking his path.
Su Mo lifted his head in confusion and saw a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit, with a tie and shining polished shoes, standing in front of him with a gentle smile on his face.
“Who might you be?”
“You must be Mr.
Su Mo.”
Yuan Bo extended his hand straightforwardly to Su Mo.
