Chapter 47: The Cunning Villain:
"That's right!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun's surprise, Zhao Shen nodded.
He then spoke earnestly, "I'm getting old, and Haogan's incident was a severe blow. I just hope you can help me manage the company. Otherwise, the vast Zhao Group might fall into Qu Yingmeng's hands!"
At this moment, Zhao Shen was like an aging tiger facing the twilight of his life. With his only son in such a state, he was exhausted.
"Madam wouldn't do that, would she?"
Zhao Shen shook his head at Ye Liuyun's doubt. "Liuyun, you're too kind-hearted!"
[I’m too kind-hearted? Yes, right? I’m such a kind and innocent person!]
"Qu Yingmeng has long been plotting in the shadows. I'm too old and can't handle it. Liuyun, I hope you can assist me."
[You’re too old? Really?]
"If you can help me secure the company, I'll transfer some of the company's shares to you."
Even a small amount of Zhao Group shares was unimaginably valuable. After all, it was a billion-dollar business!
[So that's your plan!]
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun understood Zhao Shen's intentions.
[Using shares as bait without specifying the exact time—an empty promise! Whether the shares will be given depends entirely on Zhao Shen himself!]
An empty promise!
In his previous life of endless work, Ye Liuyun received countless empty promises. He was all too familiar with it.
[You just wants me to become vice president to weaken Qu Yingmeng's control over the company, pitting us against each other for your benefit!]
[But you probably has no idea that Qu Yingmeng is already on my side!]
No matter how cunning, Zhao Shen couldn’t have foreseen this twist.
"So that’s it!"
Qu Yingmeng also understood. She had to admit that Zhao Shen's plan was quite good. But knowing her relationship with Ye Liuyun, she laughed.
"Zhao Shen, not everyone in this world is tempted by the Zhao Group's power!"
In Zhao Shen's eyes, the Zhao Group was worth billions and was a golden nugget that everyone wanted a piece of. But for someone like Ye Liuyun, even a trillion wouldn't matter.
...
"Understood, Master! I will follow your arrangements!" " Ye Liuyun said seriously.
[Alright! You won’t be around much longer anyway!]
Zhao Shen was still targeting Long Tian. It was only a matter of time before something happened!
"Good!" Zhao Shen nodded in satisfaction. "You may go now."
"Yes, Master!"
Ye Liuyun left. Watching his retreating figure, Zhao Shen's gaze grew deeper.
"Zhao Group ultimately belongs to the Zhao family!"
Zhao Shen wanted to use Ye Liuyun to restrain Qu Yingmeng. As for himself, he needed to find a way to recover physically. If necessary, he would consider surrogacy. With Zhao Shen’s wealth, finding a surrogate wasn't difficult. He had some backups stored at the hospital.
...
"Trying to catch me?"
At this moment, Long Tian was truly living a life of hiding. But for the world's strongest mercenary, this was nothing. He easily evaded surveillance.
"Hah!"
He smirked contemptuously. Catch him, the world's strongest mercenary? Impossible!
"Just wait!"
Recently, Long Tian contacted his mercenary group abroad. The world's top mercenary group was preparing to come to the country. Once his team was assembled, no matter who it was, even the Zhao family would be nothing more than paper tigers. He could destroy them in an instant!
"I won't spare anyone who underestimates me!"
With this thought, Long Tian’s eyes grew cold. He quickly vanished into the crowd, concealing his identity.
...
[This is frustrating!]
After a few days of peace, Ye Liuyun's thoughts made Qu Yingmeng and the others worry.
Was he feeling unwell?
[If I had known, I wouldn’t have set up Long Tian so harshly!]
Ye Liuyun was a bit regretful.
[Long Tian hasn't shown up. I have no plot to advance!]
He was waiting for the protagonist to appear and give him experience points. This was very frustrating!
Realizing this, Qu Yingmeng and the others felt relieved knowing Ye Liuyun wasn’t physically unwell.
You Yu: [Let me! Let me! Hehe! Since you all are busy, I'll keep Liuyun company these days!]
In the chat group, You Yu spoke decisively. Unlike Qu Yingmeng, Yao Huaimeng, and Tang Gulan, You Yu was truly free. Qu Yingmeng and Yao Huaimeng both had their companies to manage.
Although Zhao Shen had taken back control of Qu Yingmeng's company, she still had her own team running operations. There was a lot to handle!
As for Tang Gulan, it was inevitable. Everyone in the Tang family served in the military, even the women. So, Tang Gulan had a lot to learn!
Qu Yingmeng: [Fine, it’s your chance!]
Tang Gulan: [Once this period is over, I'll be free!]
Yao Huaimeng was once a strong career-oriented woman, and was now considering finding someone to help manage her company. She hadn’t made any progress with Ye Liuyun yet, which made her anxious!
You Yu: [Hehe! I won’t be polite then!]
Thinking that she would be the only one accompanying Ye Liuyun made You Yu very happy. Without hesitation, she contacted Ye Liuyun.
...
"Hmm?"
Hearing You Yu's invitation to go out and relax, Ye Liuyun was puzzled. But since he had nothing better to do, he didn’t refuse.
-To be continued!
