Chapter 543: Chapter 543 The Mysterious “Ye Shikai
Wang Qian understood Luo Shiqi even better now. This woman was the queen of Yanjing’s Underworld and controlled the Luo Family, a behemoth conglorate worth hundreds of billions. Currently, she posed a far greater danger than Su Qingyu. Moreover, most crucially, Su Qingyu was a legitimate businesswoman who only engaged in comrcial affairs without any intent to harm others. But Luo Shiqi was different; she was like a venomous snake, ruthless and decisive in her actions.
“Miss, Second Young Master, there have been many rumors about this man and Luo Shiqi,” said the bodyguard respectfully. “The first ti was at an auction held by the Ji Family. Luo Shiqi publicly gifted him a pendant worth over a hundred million that she had bid for.”
“Additionally, Luo Shiqi has been seen entering and exiting entertainnt venues with him multiple tis, such as bars and underground boxing rings.”
“Oh, now that you ntion it, I seem to rember sothing,” Wang Hai exclaid after listening, “I was at that auction too.”
“And this person…” the bodyguard suddenly paused, leaned in close to Wang Hai’s ear, and whispered, “Second Young Master, at Tianshan Club last ti, it was him you lost to.”
“What?” Wang Hai roared in rage, “This guy stole my thunder and even dared to snatch the woman I set my sights on.” Wang Hai’s eyes filled with fury and hatred. He was indeed running into enemies in a narrow path—Ye Shikai’s face slowly erged in his mind. He didn’t rember Ye Shikai from the auction, but at Tianshan Club, Ye Shikai almost made him crash into a mountain, and he had his bodyguard injured too—this he rembered very clearly.
Wang Qian leaned on the sofa, massaging her temples. She didn’t care about the necklace worth hundreds of millions; what concerned her was that a man warranted Luo Shiqi’s attention so greatly. Wang Qian’s expression beca more serious. What kind of man was Ye Shikai, to make the queen of Yanjing’s Underworld submit to him so ekly?
“Ye Shikai is so close to Luo Shiqi, then why would he marry Su Qingyu?” Wang Qian suddenly asked, and the bodyguard looked embarrassed. Indeed, it was a puzzling question.
“Moreover, Ye Shikai is currently working at Tianya Group as a minor employee in the Public Relations departnt. Other than that, he has no other identity in Yanjing.”
“What, a minor employee, you must be joking.” Before Wang Qian could express her surprise, Wang Hai already jumped up incredulously.
“A minor employee.” Wang Qian sneered coldly, “A minor employee has the gall to keep company with Luo Shiqi.”
“I’m sorry, Miss, I’ll continue the investigation regarding this matter.”
“Alright, you may leave,” Wang Hai waved his hand impatiently.
“Yes.” After the bodyguard left, only Wang Hai and Wang Qian remained in the living room.
“Sis, Ye Shikai must be feigning the pig to eat the tiger; otherwise, why would Luo Shiqi be so good to him?” Wang Hai, sitting opposite Wang Qian, spoke loudly.
“I think so too. Our priority now is to imdiately ascertain his true identity,” Wang Qian thought more deeply. Naturally, her main purpose was not to assist her spoiled rich kid brother with matchmaking. If she could help Wang Hai marry Su Qingyu, that would be the best outco. But if that didn’t work out, Wang Qian wouldn’t soften her approach. She had returned from Europe with one aim—to dominate Yanjing’s business world. This was an imnsely ambitious woman with astonishingly bold targets.
Wang Qian huffed twice—Su Qingyu had better be sensible, for those who follow shall prosper, and those against shall perish.
“Sis, are you… capable of dealing with Luo Shiqi?” Wang Hai spoke cautiously as he walked up to her. Wang Qian suddenly turned her head and glared at him fiercely, causing Wang Hai to step back in fear.
“You don’t believe in , or do you think you can handle her?” Wang Qian said coldly.
“No, no, sis, what I an is… Luo Shiqi has ties to the Underworld, she might be… sowhat rough when handling things,” Wang Hai struggled to find the right words, eventually choosing “rough” as his description, but Wang Qian of course understood his aning.
“Hmph, such tactics are not just in her arsenal; I’ve already tested her with those moves,” Wang Qian stated coldly.
“What, really? Sis, you…” Wang Hai showed a shocked expression, gestured across his neck, and cautiously indicated, “You’ve taken action against her subordinates.”
“It was just a probe, and I did not act directly,” Wang Qian spoke indifferently.
“Sis, you are truly formidable.” Wang Hai flattered Wang Qian by giving a thumbs-up.
“Sis, I’ve long admired Su Qingyu. Could you…”
“Shut up, you’re such a useless thing,” Wang Qian scolded directly. “I’m telling you, if I win, Su Qingyu will naturally co to your hands, but if I lose…” Wang Qian made a gentle swiping gesture across her neck.
“Understand?”
“I understand, I do.”
…………
The next day, at Tianya Group.
Since the announcent of Su Qingyu’s marriage, the company had plunged into an endless vortex of gossip.
“Miss Zhuang, what are you looking at so intently?” As Ye Shikai approached the entrance to the president’s office, he saw Zhuang Yan absorbed in scrolling through her phone, oblivious to anyone approaching.
“Oh, the groom himself,” Zhuang Yan exclaid in surprise, “Recently, the entire company is buzzing about the gossip between you and the president, aren’t you curious?”
“Er, not really,” Ye Shikai replied awkwardly.
“You, the PR departnt’s most handso man, are getting ‘married off’. Ah, I wonder how many female colleagues will feel heartbroken,” Zhuang Yan teased.
“Haha, that’s an overstatent,” Ye Shikai replied, a bit annoyed. PR departnt’s most handso man—how many n were there in the PR departnt anyway? Didn’t they have any sense?
And why use the term ‘married off’? He was getting married through a proper match, not like so son-in-law moving into the wife’s family.
“In wealth and honor, do not forget each other.” Zhuang Yan stood up and patted Ye Shikai’s shoulder earnestly, “Now that you’re on the rise, don’t forget about us who toil away here.”
“Right, I wanted to talk to you about sothing.” Zhuang Yan’s face suddenly flushed, “Next ti, could you not call Miss Zhuang?”
“Why, you don’t like being praised?” Ye Shikai asked, curious.
“Look, you’re marrying the president, if you keep praising , I’m worried the president might get in a bad mood and then…”
“Have you fired?” Ye Shikai concluded.
“Hmph, I worked hard in school, searched for a job, and finally made it to this position. I don’t want to lose my job over a word from you,” Zhuang Yan huffed and sat down in her chair.
“Haha, if Qingyu is that petty, then there’s no way I would be marrying her,” Ye Shikai chuckled lightly, “You worry too much.”
“That’s what you n don’t understand,” Zhuang Yan retorted, “You have no idea—won who are jealous can be very scary; they’re completely different from their usual selves.”
