!?
Su Beibei whirled around, her eyes ablaze with suspicion. "Cousin, can't you see it? Just look at his face! He looks like a scamr, even his face screams it!"
"And did you see his money-like actions? It's as if he's trying to buy his way into our trust!"
Pfttt!
Ye Mingying couldn't suppress her amusent as she broke into a smile. But as she glanced outside, the sight of Yang Lei knocking on the window while pleading was indeed appeared like a money hopping up and down, trying to spout gibberish.
Yet, despite Su Beibei's skepticism, Ye Mingying decided to give him a chance. Who knows, maybe luck was on his side, and he could get them out of this situation.
________
Whoosh!
The engine roared to life, sending a surge of adrenaline through the air.
"It started, huh?" Su Beibei's eyes widened in disbelief as the driver ignited the ignition, the car purring to life like a beast awakening from slumber.
Boom!
With a decisive thud, Yang Lei slamd the bonnet closed, his grin stretching from ear to ear. "I told you I would fix it!" he declared triumphantly, his voice echoing with pride.
Su Beibei's brow furrowed at the sound, but before she could protest, Ye ngying intervened. "Beibei, why don't you invite him in? Since he's headed in the sa direction, we could drop him off on the way."
Yang Lei's eyes lit up with excitent. "Yes! I'm going the sa way!"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Su Beibei's face as she hesitated, contemplating her next move. But before she could react, Yang Lei had already made his move, darting to the left side of the car and flinging open the passenger door next to Ye ngying.
Caught off guard, Ye ngying's expression darkened, but she chose to mask her irritation, closing her eyes and adopting a stern, business-like posture, determined not to let the situation escalate any further.
"Ha! Excuse then lovely ladies, I shall trouble you for today," Yang Lei chuckled, his voice filled with playful charm.
Just as he was about to settle in, a shadow erged with the speed of a charging train.
Booom!
A forceful impact sent Yang Lei tumbling away, and the newcor swiftly took his place inside the car.
"Thank you for the lift," Zhang Wei's smooth voice resonated as he adjusted himself comfortably.
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
Su Beibei and Ye ngying whipped around in confusion, only to realize that the car was already in motion, the events too quickly for thier little brains to process.
Their astonishnt reached new heights as they laid eyes on the impeccably dressed Zhang Wei, his white suit exuding an air of sophistication that left them utterly speechless.
"Money, when did you beco such a handso man?" Su Beibei blurted out, unable to contain her surprise.
Ye ngying remained silent, her shock mirroring Su Beibei's sentints.
Zhang Wei chuckled, his eyes gleaming mischievously. "The monkey has swung off to gather his branches, while the true dragon stands before you. Care to take a feel...?"
"Huh?"
Su Beibei's eyes twitched in confusion, her mind reeling with questions.
'Monkey, dragon?! What the hell does that even an? Why are all these weirdos showing up today?'
"!"
anwhile, Ye ngying, with her mature deanor, grasped the underlying aning and her jaw dropped in disbelief.
Zhang Wei turned to her with a grin. "Close your mouth before a fly gets in. I'm not that handso to warrant such astonishnt."
"Narcissist!" Su Beibei retorted, only to be t with a sharp coback from Zhang Wei. "Keep your insults within your height range, because they're already too low!"
"!"
"You!?" Su Beibei's eyes bulged in disbelief. "What did you just say!?" she demanded, her voice a mix of anger and shock.
Pfft...
Ye ngying, witnessing their exchange, couldn't suppress a chuckle, her laughter tinged with a wry amusent. "Can't you two stop bickering? And Beibei, since he's just hitching a ride, what's the harm in giving him a lift?"
"Hmph! It's better than sharing a seat with that monkey!" Su Beibei grumbled, turning away with a frown.
Zhang Wei's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Big won, this little one chirps too much. Have you ever considered making her work to make up for it?"
"Hm? Make up for it?" Ye ngying echoed, caught off guard by the suggestion.
Zhang Wei nodded, his voice a blend of secrecy and audibility, ensuring Su Beibei could hear. "You know, I could use soone in my personal zoos...get her so work among the—"
"You!"
Whoosh!
Before Zhang Wei could finish, Su Beibei whirled around and launched herself towards the backseat from her position next to the driver.
"Huh?"
Zhang Wei's mind reeled at the sudden movent, seeing a blur fluff heading his way.
As he braced himself, his mouth twisted into a vicious smirk, anticipating the confrontation.
"Ah—no!"
"Scoundrel!"
"Don't touch my breasts!"
"Ugh!"
In the next instant, Su Beibei was howling, her face flushed with embarrassnt as she realized the consequences of hurling herself into brother's protective arms— commissioned to protect their kind!
Silence fell, broken only by Ye ngying's barely suppressed smile, as Zhang Wei effortlessly tossed Su Beibei back to her seat.
Hiss!
She sat there, shivering, arms wrapped around herself in a protective embrace.
"Ugh!"
"Wait until we get to my place; I'll make you regret this!" she declared, her voice a mix of anger and embarrassnt, yet she couldn't bring herself to et his gaze again.
Zhang Wei responded with nonchalance, "Good luck with that." His tone carried a hint of amusent.
"Umm..." Ye ngying, driven by curiosity about his identity, turned to him, but Zhang Wei preempted her questions.
"I know what you're thinking. Na: Zhang Wei. Occupation: Unemployed, yet, I'm also the chairman of Long Feng Group. Anything else you're curious about?" He asked, his tone playful, his brows arched in amusent as his gaze subtly appraised her attire, which carefully concealed her assets.
"Huh?" Ye ngying was struck with profound surprise.
This man—was the very one she had been seeking!
By so twist of fate, he had been delivered directly into her path.
Now was her chance to secure him before he could slip away!
"You're the owner of Long Feng Group?" She managed to ask, keeping her astonishnt under wraps.
"The one and only. Any doubts?" Zhang Wei replied with a hint of pride.
Su Beibei's eyes narrowed, though she chose not to interrupt, her silence not stemming from surprise.
Despite their youth, the discovery about Zhang Wei's identity and his sophisticated attire made him less of an mystery, aligning with what they had known or suspected about him.
"Were you looking for , by any chance?" Zhang Wei's gaze sharpened, suddenly wary that he might have unfortunately landed in the midst of Tang Lifen's spies.
"Hm..." Ye ngying nodded slightly, her hand moving towards her handbag, prompting a flicker of concern from Zhang Wei.
'Is this the mont she pulls a gun on ?'
He wondered apprehensively. However, to his relief, what Ye ngying produced was not a weapon but a tallic card.
"Here," she said, offering it to him for inspection.
"Ye Pharmaceuticals?" Zhang Wei feigned surprise, his eyebrows arching. "Should that na an sothing to ?" His tone, lightly teasing, seed designed to provoke a reaction.
Ye ngying, however, remained composed. "It's a modest operation. We specialize in supplying dicines and various solutions for product developnt to different companies. And I currently hold the position of chairman," she explained, undeterred by his deanor.
"Hm?" Zhang Wei's interest was piqued, albeit subtly.
"I was in Qingyun city to negotiate a deal with Pearl Costics, which falls under the umbrella of Long Feng Group," Ye ngying elaborated, maintaining her calm.
A flicker of recognition crossed Zhang Wei's eyes. "And? Were you successful in securing the deal?"
Ye ngying shook her head, a gesture of disappointnt. "No."
"Why aren't you doing sothing about it? Why just barrage her with questions? If you're really in charge, act like it!" Su Beibei couldn't contain her frustration any longer, her patience wearing thin as she turned around to interject.
Zhang Wei simply shrugged, an amused smirk playing on his lips. "There's not much I can do; I tend to follow my wife's commands quite strictly."
"..."
"..."
Su Beibei harbored her doubts, but Ye ngying was visibly surprised, "Ms. Lin is your wife?"
She asked, unable to digest this!
How could such a ferocious woman, with her sharp edges and steely deanor, be paired with soone possessing such a carefree soul?
When faced with the strong presence of Lin Ruoxi, Ye ngying felt as though she stood on the precipice of a chilling cliff, each negotiation hanging by a weak thread.
Outrageous conditions!
Quarterly vendor inspections, a dedicated independent director—demands that seed more like shackles than agreents.
Wasn't that akin to selling their souls?
Ye ngying's business wasn't insignificant either; it simply found itself at the rcy of unfavorable circumstances.
Zhang Wei's realization dawned with the clarity of a breaking dawn, recognizing the situation at play....
