After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 755: The Thickness of the Skin

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Thickness of the Skin

Quan Jinbei caught Shi Yaoguang’s mischievous hand, his gaze deep, eyes brimming with tenderness as he looked at her, his tone very serious, "Wife, let’s also have a wedding when we go back?"

Shi Yaoguang was indifferent about weddings, and since Quan Jinbei wanted one, she found no reason to refuse, so she agreed immediately.

Quan Jinbei was so delighted that he almost grinned from ear to ear.

Watching the man who somehow resembled a foolish landowner’s son, and then looking at Leonard, holding his bride’s hand, his expression as cool and impassive as the world’s number one cold-hearted man, that sense of Leonard being a domineering CEO only intensified.

Quan Jinbei, however, had no clue that Shi Yaoguang was mocking him in her mind.

He hadn’t thought of the wedding before, but now that it came to mind, it was naturally indispensable.

He had to organize for Shi Yaoguang the most grandiose wedding in the whole world.

He was determined to make Shi Yaoguang the woman most envied by all others across the globe.

Shi Yaoguang was unaware of his lofty ambitions and grand ideals.

After Bai Ruoxi’s wedding, she returned to their home country with Quan Jinbei.

Bai Tangyuan bid her a reluctant farewell, reminding her not to forget him and promising to visit her when he had time.

Shi Yaoguang accepted and looked forward to the little guy coming to see her.

Though her first encounter with Bai Tangyuan and his mother hadn’t been very pleasant, now Shi Yaoguang truly considered them her own.

After getting off the plane.

Seeing Shi Yaoguang still messaging Bai Tangyuan, Quan Jinbei asked thoughtfully, "Do you like Bai Tangyuan a lot?"

"Hmm?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t immediately answer his question but instead countered, "Why do you ask that? You’re not planning to bring me an illegitimate child, are you?"

Quan Jinbei shook his head, "An illegitimate child will never happen in this lifetime, unless we get divorced..."

Before he could finish, he denied his own premise, "We are never getting divorced."

After a pause, he continued, "Although there’s no illegitimate child, we can still have a child born in wedlock."

"If you really like children, I can arrange for my son to meet you in ten months."

Catching his implied meaning, Shi Yaoguang snorted lightly, "You wish."

Quan Jinbei corrected her, "It’s not about what I wish for, it’s because my wife, you are beautiful."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She glanced at him speechlessly, "Instead of thinking about your son who can only be met after ten months, you should think about how to develop your career."

Speaking of this, Quan Jinbei was also an innocent victim.

Originally, the combined industries of the Quan and Lian Families were enough to support half of the country’s economy.

Furthermore, with the high-tech brought out by Shi Yaoguang, the Quan Family’s economic monopoly had reached a level unimaginable to the average person.

But it was precisely because of this that the Quan Family could not be allowed to continue its unchecked expansion.

Otherwise, it could easily lead to national instability.

Sowing chaos across the land does not necessarily require waging war.

Economic monopoly is a crucial element in this.

Hadn’t Zhao Muze been harboring this very idea?

To prevent such circumstances, Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei discussed and voluntarily relinquished a portion of their interests.

Now, the strength of the Quan Family had been significantly diminished.

And the portion they lost had been selflessly turned over to the nation by Quan Jinbei.

In this situation, it would be quite easy for Quan Jinbei to rebuild his economic power.

He simply needed to proceed step by step.

The higher-ups, considering the sacrifices Quan Jinbei had voluntarily made, would not be too harsh on him.

A businessman like him, who actively protected national interests, was different from those selfish ones who only cared for their own benefits, without any consideration for the nation or the lives of the people.

Naturally, the treatment he received was also different.

Even so, reclaiming the lost half of the economy still required a lot of time.

Look, Quan Jinbei, who used to have plenty of free time, had no choice but to reenter the Jianghu. From a leisurely idler, he reluctantly transformed into a workaholic who had to work overtime every now and then.

Given his originally listless demeanor, it was impossible for him to become a workaholic.

So, his feelings at that time couldn’t be compared to now.

Before, there was no comparison, and now, well...

Just thinking about the warm and soft beauty in his arms that he couldn’t enjoy, this feeling was particularly frustrating.

Quan Jinbei even started to entertain the idea of becoming a salted fish.

After all, the Quan Family was not small in scale now; even if he dropped everything and left, he wouldn’t starve to death.

It might as well just let the Quan Family continue to develop on its own.

Shi Yaoguang was noncommittal about his salted fish idea.

If one could enjoy a life of ease, who would choose the hardship of running around?

She just hadn’t expected Quan Jinbei to have such thoughts.

Seeing that Shi Yaoguang didn’t mind him being a salted fish, Quan Jinbei immediately prepared to become a hands-off shopkeeper, happily.

However, accidents always happen more punctually than planned.

No sooner had he set the goal of dropping his work to become a salted fish than trouble knocked on the door.

The Quan Family was actually targeted with a business tactic.

Facing such a major issue in the company, Quan Jinbei couldn’t just ignore it.

He had to crawl out of the Land of Tender Love and continue back to the company to deal with this matter.

At the same time, he also grew suspicious.

Considering the interests that the Quan Family had actively surrendered, the state wouldn’t lay a finger on them.

And an ordinary enterprise wouldn’t risk offending both Quan Jinbei and Shi Yaoguang to strike against the Quan Family.

The person who dared to do this was either ignorant and fearless or had an ace up their sleeve.

If it was the former, that would be better, but if it was the latter...

That would be a big problem.

What Quan Jinbei could think of, naturally, Shi Yaoguang could also think of.

She accompanied Quan Jinbei to the company to investigate together and finally identified the force that moved against the Quan Family.

It was a private enterprise from Y Country.

This private enterprise had been around for over a hundred years and was considered a household name in Y Country, a large group indeed.

After identifying the other party’s details, Quan Jinbei had no intention of letting them off easily.

However.

The other party’s thick skin was beyond expectations.

Yes, you heard right.

After explicitly targeting the Quan Family’s industries, the SATA Group still had the gall to send a representative, who calmly expressed a desire to cooperate with the Quan Family.

This is what they said.

"Mr. Quan, our SATA Group is very sincere about wanting to cooperate with you. We are quite interested in some of the Quan Family’s products. If you are willing, we could join forces for mutual benefit..."

After the SATA Group’s representative finished his righteous spiel, he extended the contract they had prepared in advance to Quan Jinbei.

Upon reviewing the contract, Quan Jinbei was speechless.

Without a doubt.

He could say with certainty that SATA Group did it on purpose.

It’s just unclear whether the SATA Group’s target was the Quan Family or the entire country.

Seeing Quan Jinbei’s displeased expression, the representative of the SATA Group did not feel the slightest bit guilty.

He was absolutely sure that Quan Jinbei would not refuse him.

"As long as Mr. Quan is willing to agree to cooperate, our SATA Group can offer you a one percent share."
