Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Damn, What a Shrewd Woman

Zhong Liang found it increasingly strange, but since the target was personally named by the president for recruitment, he couldn’t just blow his top like he used to and said with a heavy tone, "So, Mr. Ye, are you really bothered by what just happened?"

"Of course I am," Ye Haochuan snorted unapologetically, "If I flirted with your wife in front of you, would you be bothered?"

"You..." Zhong Liang’s face turned completely dark, but he still suppressed his anger, "Mr. Ye, is there a need to be so petty? If Mr. Ye continues to be unreasonable, then I don’t see a need to continue this negotiation."

Ye Haochuan scoffed indifferently, "If the negotiation doesn’t continue, then it won’t, I certainly don’t want to compromise and let other men take advantage of my woman."

Zhong Liang frowned deeply. Ye Haochuan was being so aggressive. Originally, he intended to recruit him according to the president’s wishes, but now he was forced to cancel.

"Since Mr. Ye says so, we will take our leave."

Having said that, Zhong Liang gave his assistant Cai Fen a look and prepared to leave in a huff.

Xiao Haimei panicked. The Xiao Family was facing a life-or-death crisis, and if the Su Group didn’t take over the Xiao Family’s shares in the Xiao Group, who knew what the shareholders would do?

Fan Qingyin saw her best friend in distress and immediately coaxed with a charming smile, "Vice President Zhong, let’s talk this out nicely."

While speaking, she used her Charming Skill.

Zhong Liang was already a lecher and immediately fell under her spell, glancing at her ample bosom and saying lecherously, "Alright, we can talk. If Miss Fan would keep me company, I can finalize the transfer of the Xiao Family shares myself, my word is good."

Hearing his brazen words, Ye Haochuan was very displeased and said flatly, "We don’t need it, our Xiao Family’s shares will not be transferred to the Su Group!"

Xiao Haimei grew even more anxious and was about to speak, but was glared back by Ye Haochuan.

Faced with the dominant Ye Haochuan, Xiao Haimei could only respond with a helpless, bitter smile.

"Hmph, I want to see how your Xiao Group will explain this to the shareholders now," Zhong Liang huffed deeply and led his assistant Cai Fen out of the private room.

"Ye Haochuan, what are you doing? Are you doing this on purpose?" Xiao Haimei finally couldn’t hold back.

"Sister Mei, the people from the Su Group clearly have no intention of negotiating with us. Alright, even if they are willing to accept our shares, by acting this way, it’s clear they want to make us anxious, seize the initiative, and then use the opportunity to force the price down and reap the biggest benefit," Ye Haochuan argued.

"Even so, you shouldn’t have taken that attitude with him, right? If he goes back to the Su Family and gossips, the Su Family might find ways to suppress our Xiao Family again..." Xiao Haimei said angrily.

"Please, Sister Mei, I’ve been restraining myself, okay? You know my temperament, if it were the past, I would have resorted to fists and kicks by now," Ye Haochuan said, exasperated.

Seeing the quarrel escalating, Fan Qingyin quickly tried to mediate, "Alright, Haimei, Haochuan, stop arguing. Let’s come up with a solution quickly to break the current crisis. Otherwise, the Xiao Family will really collapse. If things go south, the shareholders might sue the Xiao Family, and Haishan University could be auctioned off to pay the debts."

Xiao Haimei cooled down a bit and spoke irritably, "I don’t care, Ye Haochuan, if you don’t come up with a solution today, I won’t let this go."

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment, and with determination, said, "That Zhong Liang is clearly just a lackey, offending him doesn’t matter. I say, we should talk directly with someone from the Su Family."

His suggestion was actually quite good. After all, even though Zhong Liang was a vice president, he was still an employee, and the ultimate decision rested with the Su Family.

Xiao Haimei suddenly had an idea, "That’s right, aren’t you on good terms with that Su Family’s eldest young master, Su Zehao? Why not invite him out for a good talk?"

Ye Haochuan was thinking the exact same thing, but at that moment, Fan Qingyin contemptuously said, "That Su Zehao is from the Institute of Extensive Learning, disciples from there always consider themselves above the fray but are actually the epitome of hypocrisy. Besides, I’ve heard that Su Zehao is devoted to the Martial Arts Path and never gets involved in the Su Group’s internal affairs. Talking to him would be a complete waste of time."

Ye Haochuan’s heart stirred, thinking no wonder she had always been at odds with Su Zehao, as she had known his background all along.

Xiao Haimei, however, knit her brows and said helplessly, "What should we do then?"

Yet Ye Haochuan was not willing to give up on Su Zehao just yet, from his interactions with Su Zehao, he instinctively felt that this man was not of the extremely villainous sort; on the contrary, he could be a worthy friend and confidant.

"I’ll contact Su Zehao first to see, even if he can’t talk to us, at the very least, we might get some useful information from him."

Ye Haochuan said gravely.

Xiao Haimei actually agreed with this, and Fan Qingyin didn’t object either.

Afterward, Ye Haochuan dialed the mobile number Su Zehao had given him.

Interestingly, Su Zehao seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say and laughed, "What, Brother Haichuan, you didn’t hit a wall with the Xiao Family’s stock issue, did you?"

Impressive!

Ye Haochuan admired him and laughed, "Nothing gets past Brother Zehao, huh? To tell you the truth..."

He then recounted the unpleasant exchange with Zhong Liang in detail.

Unexpectedly, Su Zehao sounded surprised, "What, wasn’t my sworn sister the one who talked to you?"

Ye Haochuan was startled, a sworn sister? Another sworn sister has cropped up? Could it be the Su Family’s daughter?

"No, we spoke with Vice President Zhong and his assistant," Ye Haochuan replied.

"I see..." Over the phone, Su Zehao laughed, his laughter carrying a strange undertone.

After a while, Su Zehao continued, "Brother Haichuan, just be patient. Knowing my sworn sister, if she didn’t value the Xiao Family’s shares, she wouldn’t go to the Yuhang Hotel herself. Her letting Zhong Liang step in must be to test your bottom line before she personally negotiates with you..."

Having heard Su Zehao’s words, Ye Haochuan suddenly understood. Damn, such a shrewd woman, I need to be cautious.

After thanking Su Zehao, Ye Haochuan hung up and then explained the situation to both Xiao Haimei and Fan Qingyin.

"If that’s the case, then we still have a chance," Xiao Haimei said with a delighted expression.

However, Fan Qingyin was not so easily convinced, "After all, Su Zehao is from the Su Family, why would he give us such information when he has no reason to help us instead of his own family?"

Ye Haochuan didn’t feel like arguing, having long noticed that Fan Qingyin harbored a deep bias against Su Zehao from the very start.

He wondered what could have happened to cause Fan Qingyin to dislike Su Zehao so much, not knowing whether it was due to a rivalry between the Phantom Sound Sect and the Institute of Extensive Learning.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Ye Haochuan, Xiao Haimei, and Fan Qingyin looked towards the sound and saw Cai Fen, Zhong Liang’s assistant from before, returning.

"Mr. Ye, our president requests the honor of your company. May we have the pleasure of your presence?" Cai Fen said with a professional smile.

Xiao Haimei and Fan Qingyin were both surprised. Why invite only him and not us?
