Chapter 86: Chapter 86 President Huo Misses Her...

However, just a few seconds after dialing, he hung up.

...

Xiao Ye’s office was rented in the west side of the city; it wasn’t large but was well-equipped. An Ge took a tour around and said, "I only have five hundred thousand. If you think I’m still mentally capable, shall we be partners?"

Since the embarrassing incident at Madam Xiao’s birthday banquet that night, the elders of the Xiao Family stopped all of Xiao Ye’s expenses. To make money, Xiao Ye sold his chain of internet cafes. In short, starting this company was a make-or-break decision for him. He didn’t tell An Ge the details. He said, "I’ve rented this office, and the detective and paparazzi teams are ready for you. So, how should we proceed?"

His struggling chain of internet cafes sold for just five million, and if this entertainment reporting company had no business, that money would burn out in three months at most. So, business was paramount.

After he finished speaking, An Ge handed him a file of personal information and said, "This is Mrs. Wang. Her husband forced her to leave the marriage with nothing for a mistress he protected too well. She dreams of winning this divorce case. You know what to do, right?"

Xiao Ye glanced at the personal file and immediately recognized Mrs. Wang. He said, "I’ve met her husband, Mr. Wang, before. He has business dealings with our Xiao Family. Digging up his scandal wouldn’t be hard."

An Ge nodded, "You go ahead then. On one side, dig up evidence of Mr. Wang’s scandals, and on the other, negotiate the cooperation fee with Mrs. Wang. The best outcome is if both Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang pay us."

Xiao Ye had no objections to this plan. He was just curious, so he asked, "How do you know all this?"

An Ge said, "You think my years as a maid at the Huo Family were for nothing? That Mrs. Wang used to visit the Huo Family often to play mahjong with the masters, and I overheard while serving tea and water."

Xiao Ye sighed dramatically, saying, "Damn, with the sharp wit you have, you shouldn’t be in this situation."

He was referring to how An Ge had been oppressed by An Baoying’s family. An Ge looked at him with calm eyes and said, "You’ll understand the day you have a vulnerability."

Her mother was her vulnerability. No matter how tough she armored herself, she would still get hurt. An Ge took out her phone to transfer money to Xiao Ye, "I’ll transfer the five hundred thousand to you. Later, I need to go to the agency to look at apartments."

Xiao Ye knew An Ge’s situation. He didn’t intend to take her five hundred thousand but also thought refusing outright would offend her pride. Thus, he said, "I have no problem with funds here. Just take thirty thousand..."

An Ge refused Xiao Ye’s kindness, saying, "No, we agreed on the amount. What’s decided is decided."

Xiao Ye thought she was too stubborn, "Is there something wrong with your brain? If you give it all to me, where are you going to get money to pay rent when you go apartment hunting later? Or are you planning to return to that lion’s den, the Huo Family, that would chew you up and spit out the bones?"

"I have money for rent."

Xiao Ye asked, "Where did you get the money?"

An Ge looked at him and, in a surprising way that nearly drove Xiao Ye to the edge, said, "I sold those supplements you sent me, made five grand."

Xiao Ye: "..."

"If Young Master Huo hadn’t spoiled a part of the supplements, tossing them into the trash, I might’ve sold them for even more."

Xiao Ye: "......"

After parting with Xiao Ye, An Ge contacted a real estate agent to look at apartments. She viewed four or five places, but the rent was either outrageously high, the location inconvenient, or the security was poor. Her top priority when renting was safety, followed by the rent — she didn’t mind a bit of a commute.

By late afternoon, she still hadn’t found a suitable place. Just as she was about to give up while munching on some bread, the realtor who had just finished a call approached her and said, "Ms. An, there’s an apartment available in Yu Garden. Would you like to take a look?"

An Ge felt she couldn’t afford anything in Yu Garden, so she shook her head, "Is it expensive? I don’t have that much budget."

The realtor said, "It’s not expensive and within your budget, plus there’s no deposit required. The landlord is immigrating abroad and doesn’t lack money, just wants someone neat to look after the place, so the price is quite reasonable, eight thousand a month."

Eight thousand wasn’t expensive for a complex with high safety like Yu Garden. An Ge had a cellmate who got out a few days after her, living there where the rent was supposedly thirty thousand a month, paid annually. Compared to that, it was quite cheap. But eight thousand was still a considerable pressure for her.

However, the incident with Lee Dahai attempting to assault her late at night left her with immense trauma. An Ge gritted her teeth and settled on the apartment after seeing it. Fearing the landlord would raise the price later, she paid five months’ rent in one go, instantly spending forty thousand.

Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed that night, she rolled over in regret. But the quilt was soft and smelled like sunshine, making her feel the money spent was worth it.

Having settled both housing and work, An Ge soon fell into a peaceful sleep. But some people were on the brink of nervous breakdowns from insomnia.

Jiang Fengmian looked at the man sprawled on his sofa who refused to leave and taunted, "Huo Shaoyan, if you can’t sleep take some damn sleeping pills, down a bottle of alcohol, or hold onto a woman and go at it hard. What use is there coming to me? I’m not insomniac, I have a major surgery tomorrow, need to get some early sleep."
