Chapter 173: 0171 Unexpected Help

The exquisite makeup, the black uniform, and a pair of black-framed glasses sketched Huang Ya into the image of a top-tier business executive.

Ever since Shen Mengchen became the new director of Longjia Group, Huang Ya gradually moved up from the middle-lower tier to the middle-upper tier, becoming one of Shen Mengchen’s competent subordinates.

Having been at Longjia Group for three years, Huang Ya had achieved some success in her career. Aside from the overt and covert struggles between the major shareholders, Shen Mengchen and Wang Jianguo, Huang Ya had established a certain authority among the lower and middle ranks, especially because she carried out Shen Mengchen’s orders meticulously. Even the long-term employees couldn’t help but give her sidelong glances sometimes.

The number of men pursuing Huang Ya was also increasing. After all, Huang Ya was part of Longjia Group’s management; she was beautiful, and naturally, there was no shortage of suitors.

She received various bouquets and love letters every day, but Huang Ya only glanced at them before sending these goodwill gifts back to the senders.

She detested the frequent advances of these rich heirs and even some corporate bosses. Every time she saw these guys fawning over girls, she felt the urge to smash these gifts back in their faces.

No matter how well or attentively someone treated her, Huang Ya had no desire to accept it.

In her mind, there was always a figure that appeared from time to time, the man who changed her way of handling things, even her destiny. Initially, she felt a slight distaste when she faced him, but over time, that feeling gradually began to shift, and she found herself wanting to see this man.

As Huang Ya was lost in thought, her assistant suddenly nudged her arm and said hastily, "Someone just went into the chairman’s office."

"Who?" Huang Ya suddenly asked, her expression urgent. She was worried that because of her, a stranger might have gotten in and angered the chairman.

"It’s a young man,"

Without waiting to answer, Huang Ya ran to the entrance of the chairman’s office to see who had come.

At that glance, Huang Ya was momentarily stunned. The figure and the smiling face in front of her were precisely the ones that often surfaced in her mind. Could it be that she truly had fallen for him? The thought startled Huang Ya.

Inside the chairman’s office of Longjia.

The arrival of Ye Qiu brought a smile to Shen Mengchen’s furrowed brow.

"Damn it, Ye Qiu, where have you been? I haven’t been able to find you these days," Shen Mengchen burst out swearing and gave Ye Qiu a piece of her mind.

Ye Qiu maintained a smile from beginning to end. After Shen Mengchen had tired herself out from scolding, he finally asked, "Are you done venting?"

Shen Mengchen was about to glare fiercely at Ye Qiu but then held back, suddenly revealing a smile, and said, "Thank you."

Ye Qiu watched Shen Mengchen closely, noticing that she had grown even thinner over the few days they hadn’t met, and he felt that her brows held an air of unsolvable worries.

"What happened, tell me about it."

"You’re not annoyed by my ramblings, don’t find me bothersome?" Shen Mengchen asked seriously, her voice rising three tones higher as she fixed her gaze on Ye Qiu, trying to discern if he was telling the truth or lying.

"I think you need someone to listen to you right now, to be your listener," Ye Qiu said.

Shen Mengchen looked at him with new respect, surprised that Ye Qiu could understand a woman so well.

Ye Qiu’s smile was full of warmth, and it seemed that only his smile could make one open up completely. Shen Mengchen shared her company-related difficulties with Ye Qiu for the first time.

After hearing Shen Mengchen’s story, Ye Qiu roughly understood the current situation she was facing.

Shen Mengchen faced challenges implementing the resolutions from her first shareholders’ meeting, particularly in terms of expanding into other regions, which met with various obstacles. As a result, Longjia Group spent a lot of time and money without gaining anything in return, which caused these issues to be brought up during subsequent shareholders’ meetings as leverage.

As for the one who directly opposed Shen Mengchen first, it was Wang Jianguo, for some resolutions required Wang Jianguo’s signature, but he kept dragging his feet and not signing, causing Shen Mengchen both anger and frustration. She had talked to Wang Jianguo several times, and he would agree to her face but remain unyielding behind her back, maintaining his usual way of doing things.

These things aside, what infuriated Shen Mengchen the most was that Wang Jianguo proposed a partnership with a newly settled island country’s enterprise in ZS city, and at the shareholders’ meeting, he clearly set forth the various advantages and terms of this island enterprise, the Daiwa Group, persuading many shareholders to cast their votes for him. Had it not been for Shen Mengchen’s strong opposition, they might have indeed started doing business with Daiwa Group.

The collaboration between the two major groups fell through, and in the end, Daiwa Group reached a cooperation agreement with Hengye Group. Moreover, from all their actions, it seemed that both were inclined to join forces against Longjia, and with Rongda lurking covetously on the side, though they were without Ge Yusheng, the brains, the remaining two directors, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao, were still holding up the entire Rongda and constantly scheming against Longjia. If there was a chance to kick an enemy while he was down, Rongda’s presence would certainly not be missing.

No wonder Shen Mengchen was so heavily burdened with worries; facing such a situation, anyone else would have difficulty handling it.

After Shen Mengchen finished saying all this, her mood lightened considerably, and she laughed no less than three times.

Recovering quickly and preparing to get back to work, Shen Mengchen found that Ye Qiu couldn’t be of help, so she had to leave for the time being, not knowing that as Ye Qiu’s retreating figure walked away, there were a pair of soft, bright eyes watching his back, filled with infinite emotion.

Some people are destined to only be watched silently, but that alone is enough.

Just as Ye Qiu stepped out of Longjia Building, a phone call came through.

Ye Qiu opened his phone, which displayed an unfamiliar number.

"I am Li Jinglong," came the first voice on the other end of the call, causing Ye Qiu to be taken aback, but he continued to listen as the voice said, "Can we meet?"

"Sure," Ye Qiu didn’t refuse, remembered the agreement they had previously made. Could it be that he had found some news about Ye Zi?

Ever since Ye Zi was taken away by the strange person, there had been no news, even though he went to Huailing, he still couldn’t catch up. At this point, whether Ye Zi was safe or not, he couldn’t be sure.

Returning to the same meeting place again.

Ye Qiu found that Li Jinglong had once again arrived ahead of him.

"Got news?" Ye Qiu’s first question went straight to the point.

Li Jinglong looked somewhat embarrassed and then coughed before saying, "No."

Li Jinglong really had mobilized all the forces he could to find the girl, but unfortunately, Ye Zi seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth without a trace.

Li Jinglong thought this was not right, so he took the initiative to find Ye Qiu, hoping to negotiate about possibly changing the condition of their agreement.

Naturally, he came prepared.

"If you haven’t found her, why did you want to see me?" Ye Qiu’s impression of Li Jinglong wasn’t good to begin with, so his words didn’t carry warmth. After all, at best, they were just partners.

"I’ve come to talk to Brother Ye about perhaps exchanging one condition for another," Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me, what condition do you want to exchange?"

"I know you have a deep relationship with Shen Mengchen from Longjia Group. I have something important that could help her eliminate an opponent."

"Oh? Who?" Interest flickered in Ye Qiu’s eyes.

Seizing on this detail, Li Jinglong guessed Ye Qiu would be interested in anything that could benefit Shen Mengchen. He calmly said, "Wang Jianguo!"

"What do you think, how much would removing this internal threat help Shen Mengchen?" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Brother Ye, how do you find this exchange?"
