"Searched all over Fla Country..." Wei Xueqing murmured to herself.
She knew that Yang Chen wouldn't give up on searching for Ye Xin, nor would he forget Ye Xin.
He might be in Ancheng precisely to avoid all this.
He simply couldn't accept such a reality.
Thinking of these things, Wei Xueqing's eyes reddened with empathy and heartache.
"What's the real reason for shifting investnts to Ancheng? It's not an ideal place for investnt, and if necessary, we can set up branches there. But it's completely unnecessary to invest so much all at once." Wei Xueqing adjusted her emotions and said sternly.
At such a critical mont, she had to stay calm and analyze the pros and cons of the situation. Many tis, the business world is like a battlefield, where life and death are determined in the blink of an eye.
She didn't want these painstakingly built industries to go up in flas, especially with more than 100,000 people working under the Shangdong Group and its five subsidiaries. If they were to collapse, those people would lose their livelihood security!
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
The Mastiff looked at Wei Xueqing, unsure whether to speak his mind.
However, under Wei Xueqing's pressing gaze, he had no choice but to concede.
"This was the boss's arrangent. He said we must establish our own power in Ancheng, even the intelligence division needs to be set up there," Mastiff said.
Hearing this, Wei Xueqing raised an eyebrow and fell into contemplation.
She knew Yang Chen wasn't a reckless person. During the days when he was her bodyguard, Yang Chen displayed top-notch business skills, skills even she couldn't rival.
She also believed that Yang Chen wouldn't establish such a massive business base in Ancheng without a purpose.
"What exactly is he planning?" Wei Xueqing frowned deeply.
No matter how much she thought about it, Wei Xueqing still felt uneasy.
"Transfer all the investnt projects and docuntation from Ancheng to . From now on, I will handle everything related to Ancheng!" Wei Xueqing said sternly.
"This..." Mastiff was troubled.
Previously, both Jianfeng and Night Fire instructed him that this matter should not be disclosed.
Now, not only was it disclosed, it had also attracted Wei Xueqing's attention. If Wei Xueqing really went to Ancheng, and it caught Night Fire and Jianfeng's attention, he would be in trouble.
"President Wei, based on our current information, Ancheng isn't safe. It's not suitable for you to go," Mastiff quickly attempted to dissuade.
Wei Xueqing shot Mastiff a cold glance and said blandly, "I've faced previous dangers, what am I afraid of now? Besides, isn't Yang Chen in Ancheng? With him there, I won't be in danger!"
Wei Xueqing had absolute trust in Yang Chen.
"But..." Mastiff looked conflicted.
"No buts, that's final. Have soone send all the information to . Once I'm ready, I'll head to Ancheng!" Wei Xueqing said firmly.
Mastiff wanted to persuade her, but Wei Xueqing didn't give him the chance and turned to leave.
She was eager to return and settle the projects at hand so she could make ti to go to Ancheng.
"President Wei, keep this confidential! This matter must be kept secret!" Mastiff hastily shouted.
He was afraid that the news would spread and attract Chen Siyan, the dean, and several elders to rush to Ancheng.
"Understood!" Wei Xueqing shouted without looking back.
...
Yang Chen, who was in Ancheng, was unaware of this, with his focus still on Left Envoy Yang.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Zhou Huiqing couldn't stand Yang Chen sitting alone in a corner, motionless, silent, and lost in thought.
Yang Chen snapped back a little, and gave a gentle smile.
Seeing Yang Chen's gentle smile, Zhou Huiqing couldn't help but feel a flutter, her face turning slightly red.
She had never seen such a tender side of Yang Chen.
Just now, Yang Chen had been reminiscing about the ti he spent with Ye Xin. Though brief, there were countless mories to recall.
"What's wrong?" Yang Chen asked softly.
"N-nothing..." Zhou Huiqing hurriedly lowered her head to continue drawing.
Yang Chen nodded slightly, continuing to gaze out the window, lost in thought.
"Oh, right!" Zhou Huiqing suddenly rembered the matter and said to Yang Chen, "My grandpa asked to invite you to attend a banquet where all his forr subordinates and their descendants will be, and he wants to bring you along."
"I won't go." Yang Chen refused without a second thought.
He didn't like such gatherings, which were filled with an air of decay.
Zhou Huiqing panic, "If you don't go, what if I'm in danger!"
Yang Chen said blandly, "Sorry, your safety outside school is not my responsibility."
"You!" Zhou Huiqing was taken aback by Yang Chen's cold refusal, feeling so upset she stomped her foot.
"No way! You have to co with !" Zhou Huiqing insisted, showing her strong side. After all, she was the favored daughter in charge, indulged by Elder Zhou, always getting what she wanted, she was unused to such refusal.
Too bad she was dealing with Yang Chen.
"Sorry, I don't have ti to entertain you. If Elder Zhou insists, tell him I'm too busy," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Yang Chen!" Zhou Huiqing was furious, stomping her feet, "Do you know how great this opportunity is? Many people would die to go, especially with my dad and grandpa introducing you, you'd soar to success! Can't you understand? Do you want to be a security guard at this school forever?"
Yang Chen stood up and walked to the door, saying lightly, "To each his own, besides, I don't find anything wrong with being a security guard, it's quite comfortable."
After saying that, Yang Chen walked out.
Zhou Huiqing was infuriated, "Aimless layabout! You're just wasting away your days! No future at all!"
At that mont, the dismissal bell rang.
Yang Chen said while walking, "School's out, go ho on your own!"
With that, Yang Chen strides for the stairs.
Zhou Huiqing, incensed, threw her drawing board, never having t soone so persistently obstinate.
She wanted to give Yang Chen a hand, to help him have a better life.
Who would have thought Yang Chen was as stubborn as a stone, ungrateful, and he'd even rebutted her.
"Stupid Yang Chen! You'll regret this! When you co begging , I won't help you again!" Zhou Huiqing thought, pouting and crossing her arms.
Yang Chen continued walking to the dormitory, preparing to change clothes to go out.
When he reached the dorm, he found Wu Qiaoyun sitting on his bed.
The other roommates were nowhere to be found, usually, they'd be off earlier and would be in the dorm watching TV or playing gas, but today they were absent.
"What are you doing here?" Yang Chen glanced at Wu Qiaoyun as he casually began changing clothes.
Wu Qiaoyun replied, "Pei Yuxin asked to bring you along for dinner."
"No need." Yang Chen said nonchalantly.
"Pei Yuxin took on dozens of advertisents, she'll probably be out shooting ads for the next six months, with no ti to co back," Wu Qiaoyun said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was a bit surprised, not expecting her to be working so hard.
"Alright then!" Yang Chen nodded slightly.
