373: Chapter 373: Humble Shen Wu 373: Chapter 373: Humble Shen Wu When the first glimrs of dawn began to appear in the east, both Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu opened their eyes at the sa ti, turned their heads, and shared a knowing smile.
Su Qingyu moved slightly and realized she had been resting on Ye Shikai’s arm.
She quickly lifted her head, smiled awkwardly, then gently massaged his arm, looking every bit the devoted partner.
Both of them got up, washed up, and dressed with no signs of any cold war between them, as if by tacit agreent, they chose to forget yesterday’s issues…
“Qingyu, have you handled the collaboration between Tianya and the Wu Family?” Ye Shikai asked while he was tying his tie.
“Um, most of the arrangents are ready.
We’ll send a part of our company’s key staff to take charge of Tianya Group’s sales here in Hong Kong.
The new company ford by both of our families will go public as soon as it’s ready,” Su Qingyu replied while combing her hair, her face showing a pleased expression.
“That’s great,” Ye Shikai nodded and responded.
“And there’s more good news,” Su Qingyu walked behind Ye Shikai, spreading her arms and hugging him from behind.
“Wu Yu, to show his sincerity, made a concession.
In the new company, we hold 45% of the shares, and they hold 55%.” When she received the proactive concession from Wu Yu, everyone at Tianya Group could hardly believe it.
Businesspeople usually prioritize profit, and the Wu Family being the stronger party had no apparent reason to please Tianya.
“Heh, wife, you now hold 30% of the Wu Family’s shares.
Of course, Wu Yu would want to please you,” Ye Shikai gently tapped Su Qingyu’s forehead with his finger.
It wasn’t Tianya Group that Wu Yu feared, but Ye Shikai himself.
Unlike those solely profit-driven businessn, Wu Yu had so personal touch and a pretty decent business sense.
Hence, Ye Shikai had always supported him, hoping to leverage this support to gain more benefits for the Wu Family.
Now by throwing a “bone” to Su Qingyu, Wu Yu clearly aid to please this “pillow partner” and thereby, indirectly please Ye Shikai as well.
“Hmph, speaking of which, what about your private stash?
There’s still money there, right?
Give it to .” Su Qingyu suddenly wore a “scheming” smile, then extended her fair hand.
Ye Shikai, sweating a little, saw that his wife was apparently intent on “milking him dry,” but as a seasoned married man, he was confident in dodging this sensitive topic about “private funds.”
“Hey, wife, the weather is so nice today, why don’t we go for a walk?”
“Sure…
wait a minute, you’re trying to trick , aren’t you?
Trying to change the subject.” Su Qingyu had just spoken when she realized she’d been tricked, imdiately turning cold as she stared at Ye Shikai.
“Oh, wife, it seems like your lipstick is smudged,” Ye Shikai pointed at the corner of her mouth, feigning surprise.
“Really?” Su Qingyu instinctively turned to look in the mirror, then quickly realized she’d been tricked again, turned around angrily, only to see the empty living room and an open door.
………
After briskly leaving Hill Hotel, Ye Shikai proudly took out his phone, chuckling to himself, thinking she still wanted to raid his private stash, as if that would ever happen.
“Hello, Tianjing, what was it you were looking for for yesterday?” Ye Shikai dialed a number, and on the other end was Tianjing.
“Haha, Mr.
Ye, you really are forgetful.
Didn’t we arrange to et yesterday?
But when I called, you didn’t answer.”
“Ah, sothing urgent ca up on my end, I’m truly sorry.” Ye Shikai replied, glancing at his watch, “Let’s et at the Silver Shore Cafe.”
Hong Kong, Silver Shore Cafe.
“Cough cough, why is it you?
Where’s Tianjing?” As Ye Shikai sipped his coffee, comfortably leaning against the soft sofa, he looked pleased.
Across from him was not the handso Tianjing, but a woman.
Her facial features broadcast a somber seriousness and, despite being a woman, there was a certain rugged beauty about her.
Yet, Ye Shikai felt a subtle sense of hostility from her – for instance, that clack-clack of her teeth grinding could even be heard by people at the next table…
The woman across from him was a mber of the Divine Weapon Special Group, Shen Wu, who kept her ID in her lingerie.
“He’s busy, so he sent instead.” Shen Wu’s face was ice-cold as she spoke harshly.
At that mont, a waiter ca by.
“Get this lady an iced coffee, cool her down a bit.” Ye Shikai casually ordered, then continued with his coffee, “Alright, so what did he send you for?”
“It’s about the capture of Refining Mo, take a look at this docunt.” Shen Wu, indignantly, tossed a file in front of Ye Shikai, her face full of disdain.
“Oh, Lizard Man, huh?
Not very surprising, there was a Mothman last ti.” Ye Shikai pretended to casually review the docunts, but his heart was secretly rejoicing; no need to say more, this docunt must be the one Worm secretly placed in the National Security Bureau’s database.
“So we hope that Mr.
Ye can lend a hand…”
“Hold on, why should I get involved?
Doesn’t the National Security Bureau have plenty of experts?
What do you need for?” Ye Shikai showed a nonchalant expression, “Sorry, but I’m planning a honeymoon with my wife soon.
Oh, it’s ti to go to lunch with her.
Sorry, I must take my leave.
Call if there’s sothing!”
“Wait a minute, Ye Shikai, you promised to help us, how can you be so unreliable?” Shen Wu didn’t expect Ye Shikai to reject her so outrightly.
Ignoring the surprise of others in the cafe, she grabbed his arm and wouldn’t let go.
“You, let go first, ah really, there should be a proper distance between n and won.” Ye Shikai shook her off after several attempts, finally freeing himself from Shen Wu’s grasp.
This woman really held a grudge because he once took an ID from her lingerie, she had been hostile ever since, and now she shalessly demands help as if Ye Shikai was free labor.
“Besides, Miss Shen Wu, you’ve always been unapproachable towards , should I too turn you down today?” Ye Shikai laughed proudly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
“How, what do you want?” Hearing this, Shen Wu felt like hitting him, but recalling Tianjing’s orders, she had to swallow her anger and plead with Ye Shikai in a deflated tone.
Despite thinking the man in front of her was nothing but a scoundrel, for the sake of the mission, she had to temporarily hold back.
