He Mengji was dressed in a set of pale gray clothes, a deep color that perfectly complemented her wise character.

Her eyes were as bright as ever, and she radiated an intellectual beauty. However, compared to half a month ago, her face had noticeably slimmed down, and she didn’t look as pale.

“During the half month that you were gone, I recruited more than twenty people. Each of them has their own abilities. Here is their information.” He Mengji handed over a document.

Ye Xiong set that document aside and said, “Meng Ji, you seem to have lost weight during the half month I didn’t see you.”

“A few of these people have particularly outstanding abilities; you will need to meet them…”

“Is it because you haven’t been sleeping well at night, or is it the pressure of work?”

“Our company has entered into a strategic partnership with the Jiangnan police force to crack down on gangs with **** activities within the city. Our company’s reputation has grown further. I’ve been thinking that we should gradually turn this city into our stronghold, ideally reaching the prominence of a local tyrant. We should aim for every dangerous person who steps into Jiangnan to be under our control…”

“Looking at the dark circles under your eyes, it is clear that you’re overworked.”

“Did you hear what I was saying?”

She was trying to brief him, and there he was—responding with irrelevant questions. Her agitation was palpable.

Seriously, who was the boss of this company? Did he no longer care about its development?

“There’s nothing more important than health. Seeing you like this, my heart aches so much.”

“Can’t you be a little more serious?” He Mengji snapped.

“Alright then, you have an hour to delegate all your work. I’m giving you two days off to rest, and I’ll handle the work for the next two days,” Ye Xiong ordered.

“So, you do have a conscience.”

“Resting is also for the sake of better work,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

Next, He Mengji updated Ye Xiong on the company’s development.

In Ye Xiong’s absence, the company had recruited over twenty new staff, all with clean backgrounds. A few even had commendable skills, though they still fell short of the core members’ level.

Afterward, He Mengji outlined the company’s development plans and some of the tasks they had received.

After finishing the briefing, He Mengji stood up and stretched her limbs.

Without Ye Xiong around, these days had been exhausting for her.

The key issue was that the people below her didn’t quite respect her, which made management somewhat challenging.

Although Ye Xiong didn’t do much, he at least served as a scarecrow; his mere presence deterred people because his subordinates were all obedient to him.

While stretching, He Mengji lifted her arms up high, accidentally pulling up her clothes to reveal her slender waist and the deep navel.

“Exposure, exposure,” Ye Xiong suddenly cried out as if he had discovered a new continent.

He Mengji quickly lowered her hands and shot him a glance, “Shame on you.”

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but chuckle.

Teasing a serious and wise woman like He Mengji was particularly amusing because she was rational enough not to get very angry, at least not to the point of Luo Weiwei or Xiao Fangfang, who would get furious enough to wield a knife.

“Meng Ji, how old are you?” Ye Xiong suddenly asked.

“Twenty-three, what about it?”

“I was thinking about writing a book recently. I’m not sure how old to make the female lead. Now I’ve decided to call it ‘My 23-Year-Old Beautiful Female Subordinate.’ I plan to model the heroine after you…”

“Next, are you going to tell me that there are some aspects of female psychology that you, a man, don’t understand well, and you’d like to consult me? Like what a woman feels when she holds hands for the first time, what her first kiss feels like, and what it feels like to sleep with someone or be dumped for the first time?”

Ye Xiong’s face turned thoroughly dark.

A clever woman was just too unlovable!

“You might as well write ‘My Twenty-Three-Year-Old Female Cop,’ or ‘My Twenty-Year-Old Female CEO,’ or ‘My Twenty-Year-Old School Beauty Girlfriend.’ Maybe those titles might convince them,” He Mengji gave him a disdainful look before turning to leave.

“He Mengji, if you keep being so shrewd, you might end up a spinster for life,” Ye Xiong yelled after her retreating figure.

Ye Xiong spent the entire afternoon at the company, getting updated on everything that had happened over the past half a month.

Around four or five o’clock, he drove directly to Yang Xinyi’s company to pick her up.

He hadn’t called her beforehand, merely wanting to surprise her.

An hour earlier.

Outside the front door of Yang Xinyi’s father, Yang Dingguo’s home.

Two men stopped in front of the door, one of them pointing to the address on the door and asking, “Ade, do you see if this is the address?”

If Ye Xiong had been there, he would have recognized the two men as the same ones he had encountered at the bar the previous evening, with the young master-looking one being Jiang Yu, and the man standing beside him, his bodyguard Ade.

Ade nodded and said, “Young Master, this is the place.”

Jiang Yu walked up and rang the doorbell; after a moment, the door opened.

Yang Xinyi’s mother, Zhao Lizhen, opened the door and saw two strangers, asking curiously, “Who are you, and who are you looking for?”

“We are Yang Xinyi’s university classmates. Is she at home?” Jiang Yu asked.

“Why didn’t you call her?”

“Auntie, it’s like this. I lost my phone and can’t find her number at the moment. I got this address from her contact list. Auntie, is Xinyi at home?”

“She doesn’t live here now. I’ll give you her number. You call her!”

“Auntie, just give me her company’s address; I’ll go find her myself,” Jiang Yu said.

Zhao Lizhen, unsuspecting, gave him the address.

“Thank you, auntie.”

After the two men left, Jiang Yu said, “Ade, do you think Su Jin’er is pretty?”

“Don’t know yet!”

“The name Yang Xinyi is really too lousy. It doesn’t sound as nice as Su Jin’er. Old Man Su really went to great lengths to protect his daughter!”

Half an hour later, the two appeared at the entrance of the Xinyi Group Building.

Looking at the towering building with dozens of floors, Jiang Yu clicked his tongue and said, “It seems Old Man Su didn’t skimp on his daughter. Judging by the scale of this company, the money he’s invested in Yang Dingguo over the years must be quite a bit!”

“Compared to the Yang family’s assets, this is but a drop in the ocean,” Ade replied.

“Let’s go, let’s see what kind of daughter Old Man Yang has raised while fooling around outside.”

The two walked towards the company’s main entrance but were stopped.

“Sorry, do you have an appointment?” the security guard asked and blocked them.

“We’re here to see someone. Do we need an appointment?” Jiang Yu laughed heartily.

He pulled out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes, and threw them onto the table, saying, “This is my appointment. Can I go in now?”

That stack of cash looked to be around three to four thousand, enough to cover a month’s salary for a security guard.

Unexpectedly, the security guard had some integrity and said coldly, “Sorry, if you don’t have an appointment, please leave.

Bang!

A fist slammed onto the security guard’s head, knocking him out cold.

Jiang Yu patted his own fist and cursed, “Refuse wine only to drink punishment. Let’s go.”

Ade’s mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately didn’t speak.

The two swaggered into the company.
