Chapter 346: 0345 met Huang Ya again

He sat down, closed his eyes, and immediately became immersed in contemplation.

In Ye Qiu’s mind, flashes of his bouts at the martial arts tournament surfaced, from which some enlightening thoughts flowed.

Wandering among these enlightening thoughts, each of the Ten Owls, as well as the young talents vying for their ranks, had their own martial arts insights. The clash of moves could only be truly understood after the fight, upon careful reflection.

Whether it was Sun Ziyan, who he had crossed hands with, or the men like Fang Lianping, each was extraordinary, and their methods at the True Qi realm were also varied. For Ye Qiu, each confrontation led to a deeper understanding of his own strength.

Ye Qiu remained in meditation for an entire day.

It was only by evening when the girl Niu Yinyin returned from outside. Hearing the noise, Ye Qiu stepped out of the room.

"Wow, Brother Ye Qiu, you’re back!" Niu Yinyin opened her mouth wide in surprise at Ye Qiu’s sudden appearance.

"Housekeeper Liu, did you bring Yinyin back?" Ye Qiu nodded at the long-unseen Housekeeper Liu and asked.

"Young Master Ye." Housekeeper Liu nodded in greeting.

Ye Qiu ruffled Niu Yinyin’s fluffy hairstyle, which prompted the little one to try and escape several times, but Ye Qiu caught her and brought her back, then turned to ask, "Why hasn’t Mengchen come back?"

At the mention of Shen Mengchen, Housekeeper Liu hesitated to speak.

Ye Qiu pressed on, "Housekeeper Liu, what exactly happened?"

Housekeeper Liu sighed, and Ye Qiu released his hand, letting Niu Yinyin go play by herself. Then he sat down with Housekeeper Liu, who slowly began to speak.

These days, Dahe Enterprise and Rongda Group had joined forces against Longjia. After several confrontations, Longjia’s situation looked grim.

Shen Mengchen proposed expanding into the external markets to alleviate the internal strife in Zhongshan City. These plans were meant to unfold in line with her strategy, and initially, things went smoothly in collaboration with the Shangguan family.

However, seeing Longjia swiftly venturing into other regions’ markets caught the eyes of several large enterprises in Zhongshan City that had long been in conflict with Longjia. As Longjia grew stronger by the day, their stature in the eyes of the established enterprises shrank in comparison. If this trend continued, even with these enterprises in the market, they would seem insignificant compared to Longjia, who they feared wouldn’t bother with a single city’s worth of market competition.

It was customary for everyone to develop in the same place, competing against each other, resorting to deception and trickery. But now that Longjia was focusing on external growth, it was difficult for them to muster enthusiasm for battling their local rivals.

Longjia was becoming powerful, and though slowly, it definitely showed such momentum.

Some, seeing the potential, wanted to emulate Longjia’s expansion, but since Longjia had the Shangguan family’s support, they couldn’t finagle their way in, nor did the Shangguan family show interest in partnering with them.

This left some frustrated, and those who couldn’t succeed themselves were even less inclined to see Longjia succeed. Thus, they began to sabotage subtly, making Longjia’s expansion efforts extremely difficult.

Housekeeper Liu recounted Longjia Group’s situation to Ye Qiu, and only then did he understand the difficulties Shen Mengchen was facing, not yet having found a solution to counter their adversaries.

"Young Master Ye, please ensure the young miss doesn’t find out about this from me; she would blame him," Housekeeper Liu whispered. Ye Qiu nodded, assuring that he would never tell Shen Mengchen.

Shen Mengchen was living at the company, now struggling like a person who is working desperately. Ye Qiu worried about her; such long-term exertion could take a toll on her health.

The next day, early in the morning, Ye Qiu arrived at Longjia Company.

Entering the office, he saw Shen Mengchen asleep on the couch.

Ye Qiu didn’t wake her up, instead seated himself opposite the couch.

This girl was quite well-behaved when asleep. Observing the slumbering Shen Mengchen, Ye Qiu noticed she lacked her usual mischief. Her face showed more steadiness and maturity, causing Ye Qiu to become somewhat lost in thought.

Since the death of Shen Tianlong, she had been growing rapidly, transforming from a haughty heiress into a formidable businesswoman. It was hard to imagine that it took her less than six months to do so.

As Ye Qiu was staring at Shen Mengchen in a daze, Shen Mengchen opened her eyes. When she saw Ye Qiu’s entire face looking at her, she suddenly screamed, frightened out of her wits.

Ye Qiu was startled by the scream and jolted upright.

"Stinky Ye Qiu, were you trying to scare me to death!" Shen Mengchen said, annoyed.

"Chairwoman Shen, I came especially to see you. I even made you chicken soup to nourish your body. Since you’re being so rude, I might as well leave." After saying that, Ye Qiu, pretending to be upset, picked up the meal box from the coffee table and got ready to stand up.

"There’s chicken soup to drink?" Shen Mengchen’s eyes lit up, her stomach had been growling with hunger, and she immediately switched to a smiling face, saying, "Don’t be hasty, look at you. It’s been a long time since you last came to the office. Sit down first and let’s talk."

Ye Qiu hadn’t really intended to leave and, seeing Shen Mengchen’s attitude do a complete one-eighty, he sat back down.

Shen Mengchen couldn’t wait to open the meal box, and immediately, the rich aroma of the chicken soup permeated the air, filling her nostrils. Shen Mengchen couldn’t help but gulp it down greedily.

"Mmm, delicious!" Shen Mengchen couldn’t help but voice her satisfaction. Ye Qiu’s cooking skills were unquestionable, and this chicken soup was exceptional—so delicious that it penetrated to the bone with every sip.

Watching Shen Mengchen drink the chicken soup in large gulps, Ye Qiu smiled. This girl had no sense of ladylike decorum when it came to eating!

After leaving Shen Mengchen’s office, Ye Qiu ambled around inside the Longjia Company building.

It had been many days since his last visit, and the company seemed to have a refreshing new vibe.

Very few people recognized Ye Qiu; most were busy with their own work.

Suddenly, a figure abruptly stumbled and toppled over toward him. Ye Qiu instinctively reached out and caught the figure in his arms.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

The woman apologized repeatedly, but when their eyes met, both of them felt a bit embarrassed.

It’s you!

They both exclaimed in unison, surprised by the coincidence.

Huang Ya hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be here. Since Shen Mengchen became the chairwoman, Ye Qiu had come to the office no more than five times.

Ye Qiu actually had a quite vivid memory of this woman. Initially, Huang Ya had given him a hard time, but he hadn’t really held it against her. Since then, she seemed to have changed into a different person, showing considerable improvement both in work and interpersonal relations. Even Shen Mengchen had taken Huang Ya on as a confidante.

It was undeniable, after dropping her haughty and disdainful airs, she was quite an agreeable woman.

With her snowy white cheeks and pale pink lips decorating her melon-seed-shaped face, paired with a short haircut, she was the image of a charming and capable woman.

Of course, if it weren’t for the man behind her shooting unfriendly glances at him, ruining the atmosphere, Ye Qiu would have been quite content to linger in that moment of eye contact.

"Xiaoya, are you alright?" The man came over, first checking on Huang Ya, then staring at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu frowned slightly, feeling that this man looked somewhat familiar.

At that moment, the man also revealed a hint of confusion, as if he, too, had seen Ye Qiu before.

"You?"

Both men started to recall. Ye Qiu remembered that once when he came to the company, he had shared an elevator with this man who had been holding flowers. If he wasn’t mistaken, the man had been about to confess his feelings to Huang Ya, but she had not accepted him at that time. However, looking at the current situation, it seemed there had been quite a change between the two!

Huang Ya, under Ye Qiu’s gaze, felt a bit shy and even reluctant to meet his eyes.
