Chapter 95

Because AK had missions to carry out over the next few days, Xiao Sheng went a bit easier on him. However, the scout, who had been hiding in the dark all along, was thoroughly 'abused' by Xiao Sheng! Dragging their injured bodies, the two 'stumbled' away into the night. But before they left, AK managed to get the signed note from Xiao Sheng, which, despite only having two characters, could be exchanged for at least a million yuan at the Zhonglei Group, and probably more. Having a wealthy wife sure has its perks!

Considering that Tong Tong had been through a series of shocks, Li Yuwan and Tong Jiahua, to make up for the years of guilt they felt towards their daughter, finally decided to put their work aside and spend a few days with her in Hongcheng, which made Tong Tong extremely happy!

At this stage, Huaxin was in the midst of a business transformation and external cooperation. As a result, Chen Shuyuan couldn't accompany her brother and sister-in-law on a good tour of Hongcheng! After this incident, Li Yuwan had a significant change in attitude. While she didn't seem like a completely different person, she was at least less domineering than before. During breakfast, she even lowered her guard and had a few words with Xiao Sheng!

As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise." Everything started to take a turn for the better from the next morning! Even when Xiao Sheng drove Chen Shuyuan to the company, this usually cold and beautiful CEO became more talkative, occasionally discussing matters outside of work with Xiao Sheng and no longer being stingy with her 'blossom-shy' smile. This couldn't help but make Xiao Sheng look forward to a beautiful and glamorous future.

However, when Chen Shuyuan, in a good mood, stepped into her office, Dai Muxue brought news that, while not a disaster, certainly put Huaxin in a difficult position! The North International City housing project, after obtaining the pre-sale permit, was scheduled to start public subscription in two days. The first 200 units were to be offered at a price 10% lower than the current market rate in Hongcheng, although this was a significant increase from the initial publicity. However, this price would undoubtedly leave Huaxin in a precarious position. Under the 'leadership' of North International, small and medium-sized real estate companies with tight capital chains would surely follow suit to recoup their funds.

What was most infuriating was that on the day of the subscription, North International would hold a grand ceremony, inviting many CEOs from Hongcheng, local government officials, and the Zhonglei Group! And Chen Shuyuan was on the guest list! This was a blatant show of force!

Unlike in the past, when she would call a high-level meeting to discuss problems, Chen Shuyuan, upon hearing this news, chose to sit alone in her office and think seriously. Every action has its pros and cons. The Chinese mentality of 'buying high and not buying low' would ensure that the sales on the subscription day would not be impressive. North International could continue its previous strategy, using the pretext of a price drop to build its brand and drive the development of other industries. Why would they act so hastily now? Could they be facing a financial crisis?

Thinking about this, even Chen Shuyuan laughed. North International, which had been funded by a Japanese venture capital firm last year, was now considered wealthy in Hongcheng. Chen Shuyuan really didn't believe they were short of money. If it wasn't for a small amount, then it must be for a large one! Looking at the list of companies, the name of the Zhonglei Group stood out. Government officials? It seemed that North International intended to use this subscription ceremony to show off in front of the Zhonglei Group!

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong. Although Chen Shuyuan, after deep thought, understood this, she currently had no good strategy to counter it. Rubbing her forehead, her thoughts became blocked, and she couldn't help but think of Xiao Sheng. She quickly dispelled her 'fantasy,' reminding herself that the wine was sober, and the dream was shattered.

Just as Chen Shuyuan's thoughts were in chaos, her phone on the desk suddenly rang. Looking at the number, Chen Shuyuan, with a professional smile, answered the call and said softly:

"Sister Bai, you're a rare guest! It's been a while since we last talked!"

"Don't say that. I was out of town for a while, but I contacted you as soon as I got back. Do you have anything planned this afternoon? If not, let's get together with a few of us women from Hongcheng, have some afternoon tea, and meet a friend from Fujian?"

"A friend?"

"Hehe, don't worry, it's a woman. Whenever I bring a man, you always get upset, right?"

...

Unaware that he had quietly entered Chen Shuyuan's heart, Xiao Sheng was currently leaning over Dai Muxue's desk, his sexy buttocks sticking out, flirting with her! Dai Muxue, her face flushed with embarrassment, kept urging Xiao Sheng to return to his position, afraid that Chen Shuyuan would see them if she came out!

"Stop it, go back to your place, or else..." This was the umpteenth time Dai Muxue had urged him!

"No, you have to kiss me first, then I'll consider it..." The coquettish sound from Xiao Sheng's mouth was awkward and strange. If his former opponents or comrades heard it, they would surely be shocked! Especially his raised finger, which made the men feel like they had encountered a 'buddy.'

Dai Muxue, trying not to laugh, looked at Xiao Sheng with a resentful gaze, her heart racing. She clutched the pen in her hand and sat stiffly, unsure of what to do.

"Don't you like me anymore? Or do you have someone else on your mind?"

"Assistant Xiao, do you want me to throw up my breakfast? Can you act normally?" Dai Muxue, her face red, finally managed to say this after a long pause, which made Xiao Sheng laugh.

"Alright, my little Muxue doesn't like me being coquettish. Come here, give me a kiss, it won't hurt you..."

"Stop it, we're at work..."

"At lunchtime, during the break, in a private room, I'll wait for you..."

Xiao Sheng, knowing that Dai Muxue was shy and had a good work attitude, was just looking for some fun during the dull work hours and enjoying her flustered appearance.

Just as Xiao Sheng stood up, whistling and preparing to go find Hong Qiquan for a smoke, the door to Chen Shuyuan's office, which had been closed, slowly opened. Chen Shuyuan, holding her handbag, walked out and said softly to Dai Muxue:

"Move today's afternoon work to tomorrow. I have a gathering today..."

Social gatherings among the elite were common, often involving casual chats and business discussions. This was the essence of networking.

"Sure, Ms. Chen..." Dai Muxue, standing up, replied respectfully.

"Come, let's go to a beauty salon!" Chen Shuyuan said as she walked straight out. Proper grooming was essential in social circles.

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was disappointed. The planned intimacy at lunchtime was ruined! As Chen Shuyuan walked into the elevator, Xiao Sheng, turning around, returned to his usual self and asked softly:

"Ms. Chen, is going to the beauty salon a personal benefit you're giving me? I want two, with big chests and firm butts, just like you..."

"Smack..." Chen Shuyuan's handbag made another intimate contact with Xiao Sheng's forehead.

"I love the frying pan..."
