"Tingshen, which company did you secure for the Lu Family?"
"Jin City’s Meng’s, AKAM Machinery Manufacturing Group."
"What? Are you saying... it’s true?"
Ye Zhuoxuan looked at him in disbelief.
In fact, he had thought about it before. If, after three months, Xianxian still didn’t like Lu Cen, he couldn’t force her. If they couldn’t marry, they would need to compensate the Lu Family from elsewhere. The first consideration was to help Lu Group establish itself domestically.
But in recent years, Lu’s Machinery Manufacturing had suffered severe internal deficits, and just returned from overseas to avoid risks, without any capital domestically. Even if he vouched for them, no machinery company was willing to take the risk. After all, the machinery manufacturing industry is the cornerstone of the national economy, and he had given up the idea.
Unexpectedly, Bo Tingshen not only secured the contract in such a short time, but also signed with Meng’s, the leader in domestic machinery manufacturing. This not only requires power and wealth but also represents great trust due to the risks involved.
To a businessman, reputation is paramount, and he was willing to stake it for Xianxian.
Bo Tingshen: "Uncle, please await good news patiently."
"I really can’t thank you enough!"
Ye Zhuoxuan felt grateful and a little embarrassed for his previous narrow-minded thoughts.
No matter how inscrutable he was in the business world, he was utterly sincere towards Xianxian.
"This matter was originally between us and the Lu Family. We shouldn’t involve your interests as well."
"Uncle, you’re being too polite. Xianxian’s matter is my matter."
With this statement, the Ye Family felt at ease, except for Ye Shaowen.
"Who asked you to meddle? We..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Zhuoxuan shouted angrily, and Ye Shaowen, stunned by the outburst, clenched his fists and went silent.
"Dad..."
Seeing Ye Shaowen’s aggrieved expression, Ye Xian put down her chopsticks, just in time to hear Bo Tingshen say, "Young Master Ye’s desire to protect his sister is understandable. I will slowly prove to him and earn his trust."
This well-intended advice sounded different to Ye Shaowen: So what, Ye Shaowen? No matter how strong you are, you still can’t beat me, right? Even your parents and family stand by my side now. Why are you still struggling? Just surrender already.
Shameless!
He snatched away his Xiao Yezi and now wants to play the good guy!
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this at the dinner table. Let’s eat, let’s eat," Xia Hewan interjected with a smile, changing the topic. "Zhuoxuan, you don’t know, not only is Tingshen a rare business genius, but he also has a deep understanding of art. I just had a casual chat with him, and it was very engaging. Tingshen, you must come to our house often to discuss and explore with Auntie. None of them here are interested in art, and there’s no one to keep me company."
"Hmph..." Ye Shaowen snorted lightly, "Mom, don’t pressure him. He’ll probably have to do homework when he gets back."
What’s wrong with this child?
While Ye Zhuoxuan contemplated scolding him, Bo Tingshen spoke up, "Auntie is a renowned artist. It’s my honor to engage with you. Moreover, I’ve been a fan of yours since I was young."
"Fan?"
Xia Hewan looked at him in confusion. Since he was young?
"In 2008, at the Garden Exhibition, I saw your work."
"Really?" Xia Hewan was visibly surprised, trying to recall, "The 2008 Garden Exhibition? That was over ten years ago. I can’t even remember what was displayed..."
But this blatant provocation was, to him, a seductive signal: Husband, I want...
Bo Tingshen abruptly seized her little hand, startling her. Fortunately, she maintained her composure as an actress, avoiding startling everyone at the table.
What do you want?
Does he still have the nerve to blame her?
Ye Xian raised her eyebrows and used her gaze to chastise him angrily, Let go!
But the man didn’t let go. Instead, he continued holding her hand, pulling her hand upwards...
Oh!!!
Ye Xian was so startled that she reflexively withdrew her hand. The sudden movement caught the attention of the Ye Family.
"What’s wrong?"
Everyone looked at her in confusion, as she swallowed, tongue-tied, "Well... um, how did a mosquito get into my soup?"
"A mosquito? Where is it?"
"How is that possible? It’s winter now..."
"Yes, yes, I’m puzzled too."
Ye Xian, as if scalded, awkwardly rubbed her neck, cursing the werewolf internally. This damn pervert, she hadn’t even retaliated, and he had already... drawn his sword!
Zhu Shanshan looked at the suspicious blush on her face, "?" Shouldn’t she feel disgusted after finding a mosquito? Why does she seem a bit shy?
