Chapter 201: 0199 Not a Hawk Ma Kunqing

Shangguan Mingyue sat comfortably with Niu Yinyin on the couch, watching TV, while Ye Qiu busied himself in the kitchen with tonight’s dinner.

As for the help Shangguan Mingyue had requested, Ye Qiu had no choice but to agree, given that a beautiful woman was pleading with him, who could harden their heart to refuse?

Moreover, Shangguan Mingyue had made a promise.

Just ten minutes earlier, in Ye Qiu’s room.

"Do you like our Shangguan Hong?" Shangguan Mingyue didn’t bring up the request for help right away, and instead directly mentioned Shangguan Hong.

Ye Qiu instantly quieted down, unable to take a stance when asked such a question face-to-face by a gorgeous woman.

"I know you definitely like our Shangguan Hong and I also know that girl has a good feeling towards you. Though I’ve been overseas for years, I understand this niece of mine. Ordinary men can’t catch her eye, and she also rejected the Yin family’s marriage proposal. I suspect you had a hand in that." Shangguan Mingyue said. In fact, Ye Qiu’s words had indeed influenced Shangguan Hong, along with his act of treating the old man’s illness, which was a major blow leading to the failure of the marriage alliance.

Ye Qiu remained silent.

How astute Shangguan Mingyue was; merely discussing Ye Qiu a few times with Shangguan Hong, she understood everything that had happened, and reality was nearly as she had described.

"You cured the old man’s illness; the old man thinks highly of you, and even the entire family recognizes you, but this alone isn’t enough for you to marry a daughter of the Shangguan family," said Shangguan Mingyue.

"However, things are different now. If you agree to help this time, when you want to marry my niece in the future, I can speak on your behalf. Even my elder and second brothers will have to give me face. What do you think?" she added, tapping Ye Qiu’s chest with her slender fingers, prompting him to consider his answer carefully.

The implication was clear—by agreeing to help her, she would support him in marrying Shangguan Hong in the future.

Feeling the warmth at his fingertips stirred his thoughts; he was shirtless, after all. Yet, the image of Shangguan Hong’s pretty face filled his mind. All beauties from the Shangguan family, and each one more gorgeous than the last, Ye Qiu couldn’t even begin to describe his feelings at this moment.

"Alright, I agree," Ye Qiu gave his response.

"Hmph, smart boy," Shangguan Mingyue withdrew her finger, and Ye Qiu reluctantly shifted his gaze away from those scallion-like slender fingers.

Shangguan Mingyue, achieving her goal, didn’t leave but waited for Shangguan Hong to return from the library. Niu Yinyin made a call to Shen Mengchen to announce that Shangguan Mingyue had arrived and they would dine together tonight.

Before six o’clock, both Shangguan Hong and Shen Mengchen had returned to the Goddess Villa.

The four women gathered around one table, and as you can imagine, the atmosphere was like viewing two plays at once.

Ye Qiu couldn’t get a word in, silently eating his own cooking while the four women completely ignored him, chatting joyfully, with even Niu Yinyin eagerly joining in the bustling conversation.

During the meal, Shangguan Mingyue and Shen Mengchen moved from discussing cosmetics to the economy, and finally to company issues.

Shangguan Mingyue said, "Mengchen, Longjia Corporation is now entirely in your hands. The Zhongshan city market is almost saturated. At this juncture, the only option is to expand into other regional markets."

Over the years, Longjia Corporation had taken root in Zhongshan city, and although there had been some collaborations with lower-tier cities, in a metropolis like the first-tier cities, Longjia Corporation had garnered a minimal share of the huge market pie.

Shen Mengchen, having taken over Longjia not long ago, had indeed been keen on breaking into those top-tier cities. However, local protectionism had repeatedly thwarted her plans, preventing her from securing a slice of the pie.

Shangguan Mingyue’s words resonated with Shen Mengchen, who sighed, "Longjia has grown from a small enterprise to a large group today—a miracle among all the companies in Zhongshan city. These years, the continued delay in going public was due to not having broken into the markets of the first-tier cities. What I want now is to march into those cities and not just stick to Zhongshan city."

Shangguan Mingyue’s eyes lit up, surprised to find that Shen Mengchen had long seen this point. Shangguan Mingyue, having traveled the world not only for leisure but also observing the customs, economic conditions of various countries, boasted a broad and high perspective. Finding a common vision with Shen Mengchen, their conversation grew even more animated.

Eventually, they even discussed collaboration, knowing that the Shangguan family had Shangguan Peng, a business tycoon. Once Longjia Group partnered with him, its development pace was bound to accelerate. Moreover, with the Shangguan family’s resurgence and Shangguan Peng becoming a popular figure in the business world once again, who wouldn’t want to board this massive ship?

If Longjia Group successfully penetrated first-tier cities and secured its footing, Shen Mengchen would have achieved a goal, and her deceased father, Shen Tianlong, could rest peacefully.

Speaking of the details of the collaboration, Shangguan Ming would have his second brother’s company’s staff meet with Shen Mengchen. Dinner was delightful, and Shen Mengchen was in high spirits. Once Longjia started collaborating with the Shangguan family, those competitors in Zhongshan City would soon be surpassed by her.

The topics among women were numerous, so much so that after Ye Qiu finished eating, the four of them still hadn’t stopped.

Just as the four women were chatting away enthusiastically, Ye Qiu suddenly furrowed his brows.

He sensed a force coming from afar, targeting their villa.

An expert!

For Ye Qiu, who had long surpassed the realm of True Qi, he could sense everything within ten miles around the Goddess Villa.

Especially towards someone emanating such a powerful aura, his sensitivity was even keener.

Who exactly was it, and why were they gradually approaching the Goddess Villa?

This aura was not like that of the black-clad individuals from before, whose auras bore a brutal, venomous scent, whereas the aura of this yet-to-arrive individual was filled with a sharpness, like a knife that had been honed.

Those who come are up to no good; those who are good do not come—the owner of this aura must be targeting him, Ye Qiu.

In a flash of thought, Ye Qiu told the four women that he needed to step out and quickly left the Goddess Villa.

His figure stopped beside the locust trees on both sides of the community entrance, waiting for the steadily approaching aura.

Before long, a figure slowly appeared before him.

Ye Qiu watched the other party, who, upon seeing Ye Qiu standing there looking at him, couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

"You knew I was coming?" the newcomer asked with a smile tinged with surprise.

"If I’m not mistaken, you must be here for me," Ye Qiu said calmly, looking at the young man before him and inwardly marveling. The aura was definitely from someone in the realm of True Qi; who exactly was this person, also a True Qi realm? Old Color-head truly deceived him; he had said being at True Qi realm at his age was a once-in-a-century talent, yet what about this guy?

But why was this person looking for him?

"I heard from Li Futu that you are very strong, so I specifically came to challenge you," the young man said.

"Li Futu?" Ye Qiu naturally did not recognize this person, but at this moment, it seemed he had to act, or the other party wouldn’t easily leave.

"Since you wish to fight me, you should at least give your name!" Ye Qiu stated lightly. He was inexplicably sought out for a forced spar, and though he was annoyed, he was not afraid.

The young man’s eyes brightened, not expecting Ye Qiu to be devoid of any fear and very composed. He then uttered three words.

"Ma Kunqing!"
