Chapter 802: Chapter 798 Accidentally Encountered
After the two sat down, a waitress in a cheongsam walked in and asked with a smile, “Are all your guests here?”
Mo Xiaoyan nodded, took the nu handed to her by the waitress, opened it, leaned over, and asked sweetly, “Brother-in-law, what would you like to eat?”
She leaned very close, her silky long hair brushing against the back of Ye Fan’s hand. Ye Fan discreetly drew back his hand.
But Mo Xiaoyan laughed inwardly, thinking, “Where else can you hide, dear brother-in-law?” and leaned in again.
Her arm, like a lotus root, pressed against Ye Fan’s arm, cool and smooth. Ye Fan wanted to avoid it but found he was already at the edge of his seat, with nowhere to escape.
The subtle fragrance from Mo Xiaoyan and the smooth touch on his arm made Ye Fan feel a bit itchy, but he couldn’t do anything about it except smile wryly, thinking it wasn’t a big deal, so just let her be.
Mo Xiaoyan secretly smiled with satisfaction.
The waitress in the cheongsam, seeing this ambiguous scene, wisely looked away. Working at the Jinling Hotel, she naturally had the perceptiveness to know what to watch and what not to.
“Just order a few dishes,” Ye Fan said.
“Alright,” Mo Xiaoyan pointed at the nu, “Then let’s have a serving of New Zealand beef ribs, a serving of conch in abalone sauce, and a serving of golden pigeon…”
She listed off a whole bunch, prompting the waitress to cautiously remind, “Miss, although our hotel’s dishes are delicate, they are also quite ample in serving size.”
With Ye Fan, Mo Xiaoyan could be docile and sweet, but with others, she turned into the Mo family’s heiress, showing displeasure on her face: “I naturally know how to order!”
“Don’t waste,” Ye Fan smiled helplessly, turned to the waitress and said, “Just the first three dishes, please.”
“Didn’t you hear?” Mo Xiaoyan said to the waitress with a light yet firm tone, then turned to Ye Fan with a sweet smile, “Okay, okay, whatever brother-in-law says.”
Once the waitress hurried out with the nu, the dishes were soon brought to the table.
Mo Xiaoyan wanted to order drinks but was stopped by Ye Fan, “I still have to drive later, so no alcohol.”
“Dear brother-in-law, when did you beco so uptight?” Mo Xiaoyan said playfully.
“After all, I have a position now. It’s not good to let soone hold it against over small things,” Ye Fan laughed.
Mo Xiaoyan, being smart, quickly understood the underlying aning and asked, “Trouble at the police station?”
“Just a few clowns, not worth ntioning,” Ye Fan paused, then asked, “Did you bring the costics project materials I asked for?”
Opening her handbag, Mo Xiaoyan took out a file folder and handed it over, her expression turning serious, “Although the company and factory were both set up by , like my children, frankly, there’s only a 30% chance of success. Brother-in-law, you really don’t have to jump into this pit.”
As Ye Fan browsed through the materials, he said, “You know about VC, right? Venture capital. The investnt targets are typically high-growth projects. It focuses solely on the future developnt potential of a company, not its current asset status. High risk, accompanied by potential high rewards.”
He closed the docunts neatly and continued, “Honestly, a 30% success rate is not that low in the venture capital industry.”
Mo Xiaoyan, thrilled, clung to Ye Fan’s arm, eyes sparkling, “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? You’re not a child,” Ye Fan said, feeling the soft warmth from his arm and silently estimating the size, “definitely not small,” he thought to himself.
Getting serious, he continued, “Besides, with my three billion investnt, I will also be taking a share. If I lose, it’s my bad luck, but if I profit, I expect to receive dividends. This money isn’t for free. As for the exact share percentage, we can discuss that slowly.”
“Whatever you say goes, brother-in-law! You wouldn’t take advantage of anyway!” Mo Xiaoyan cheered up, the three billion solving her urgent predicant, but more importantly, it added another layer of cooperation with Ye Fan, leading to many more opportunities to et in the future.
Ye Fan rolled his eyes, pointing at the warm softness clinging to his arm, “Seems like you’re the one taking advantage of !”
“Hmph, brother-in-law’s being a rascal!” Mo Xiaoyan’s face uncharacteristically turned a little red as she released Ye Fan’s arm and sat upright.
After having the al and discussing the costics project further, the two left the private room, walked through the hotel lobby, and stepped out of the Jinling Hotel side by side.
Neither Mo Xiaoyan nor Ye Fan noticed that in the lobby, at a table by the window, two n were intently watching them.
It was Fan Feipeng and Wang Xianzhong!
The two n stared at each other wide-eyed for a while before simultaneously cursing, “Damn!”
Wang Xianzhong asked, “Didn’t you say you lost track?”
Fan Feipeng, suppressing his laughter, said, “I did lose track, which is why I called you to have a drink and shake off the bad luck. Unexpectedly, we ran into them here!”
“How’s that saying go? ‘Where there’s a will, there’s no flower, but where there’s no intention, the willow grows shade!’ Quite sothing!” Wang Xianzhong sighed.
“Ti is of essence. Let’s follow them!” Wang Xianzhong exclaid, about to stand up, but Fan Feipeng pulled him back.
“Brother Wang, ease up. Director Ye is too alert. We’ve tried tracking him several tis to no avail and might have already spooked him. If we follow now, it would probably be in vain again.”
“Then what should we do?” Wang Xianzhong asked instinctively.
Fan Feipeng leisurely took a sip of beer and chuckled, “The beauty who just went out with him, doesn’t she look familiar to you?”
“Isn’t she so kind of…?” Wang Xianzhong pondered but shook his head, “Although her deanor and looks don’t seem typical, now that you ntion it, she does seem familiar!”
Fan Feipeng used his chopstick to draw the character “Mo” on the table with alcohol.
Wang Xianzhong slapped his thigh, “Mo Yan Group’s CEO, Mo Xiaoyan!”
Mingde County, with a total population of just over 500,000, had a GDP of only over 17 billion last year, just recently shedding its label as a poverty-stricken county. When the affluent Mo Yan Group moved in, investing and building factories, it naturally garnered significant attention, with the county leadership all showing up for the occasion. Small-ti leaders like ourselves in the county police station, though not quite standing out, also went along due to matters involving site security and future factory district policing and naturally rembered the beautiful CEO of Mo Yan Group.
“But,” Wang Xianzhong frowned, “how did Director Ye get tied up with CEO Mo?”
“Official and business interactions naturally weave together, not usually in the light of day,” Fan Feipeng grinned sinisterly, “Regardless, I’ll have a few trusted subordinates investigate Mo Yan Group and the costics factory over there. I refuse to believe there aren’t any loose ends to catch!”
They clinked their glasses, downed them in one go, and burst out laughing together.
Birds of a feather flock together.
