The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife -
Chapter 139 - 139 139 Concern and Being Concerned
139: Chapter 139: Concern and Being Concerned 139: Chapter 139: Concern and Being Concerned “Qingyu, you’ve been managing the corporation for so many years and earned quite a bit of money, haven’t you ever thought about retiring early to enjoy life?
Like shopping, watching movies, and so on,” Ye Shikai chatted casually while gently massaging Su Qingyu.
“When I first took over the company, it was to gain some experience, but as the company grew, it wasn’t easy to just walk away,” Su Qingyu opened her eyes and said indifferently, “There are so many employees in the company, what would they do if the company was gone?” Su Qingyu retorted.
Su Qingyu’s words deeply resonated with Ye Shikai.
Once a person has attachments, they inevitably become involuntary.
The company has thousands of people, all of whom need to provide for their families.
In this society, like a boat sailing against the current, the company needs to grow or else it will be swallowed up.
Moreover, the company itself is Su Pengzhan’s painstaking effort.
So both publicly and privately, Su Qingyu could not possibly abandon it.
At Qingyu’s age, girls are at their most dazzling, yet Qingyu could only face piles of work every day.
Thinking of this, Ye Shikai looked at Su Qingyu with warmth and a trace of respect in his eyes.
Su Qingyu noticed the oddity and felt somewhat puzzled.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Su Qingyu asked.
“It’s nothing, I just realized that my wife has the heart of a savior,” Ye Shikai laughed.
“What are you talking about?” Su Qingyu’s face reddened, and she balled her small hand into a fist, hitting Ye Shikai.
While Ye Shikai laughed playfully, he sighed internally.
Doesn’t everyone have their own concerns?
Even when he was alone abroad, wasn’t his heart still with his old brothers from Dragon Teeth special forces?
Even without them, he wouldn’t be wandering the world alone.
Right across from Ye Shikai’s house, there was a girl who had been waiting for him for three years…
Even if one has no attachments, there are still people who are attached to them.
“Besides, the company is not as stable as it appears on the surface.
I remember that last time, the company was on the brink of disaster,” Su Qingyu’s words reminded Ye Shikai of the previous incident.
If it wasn’t for the five hundred million that Ye Shikai transferred from Netherworld Palace, filling the company’s financial gap just in time, the company would probably have been finished.
“The last company crisis was solved by Luo Shiqi; you know about it, right?” Suddenly, Su Qingyu’s tone shifted, and as she said this, there was a hint of coolness in her eyes, giving Ye Shikai an ominous premonition.
“I’ve always kept my distance from Luo Shiqi, although I acknowledge her abilities, but I’ve never had much to do with her, so why would she come to help me?” Su Qingyu’s words shocked Ye Shikai.
Indeed, his relationship with Luo Shiqi was exposed, and some past events now made sense.
“It was you who asked her for help, wasn’t it?” Su Qingyu said coldly, and seeing his tacit admission, Su Qingyu sighed, “Considering her infatuation with you, she definitely wouldn’t have refused you.”
“Indeed, I asked her to help.” Ye Shikai thought for a moment, then didn’t tell Su Qingyu that the 500 million was his own money.
The matters of the Netherworld Palace were too complicated, and Su Qingyu probably couldn’t understand them.
Ye Shikai also didn’t want to involve her too much.
“Help me thank her.” Su Qingyu said, and Ye Shikai hummed softly in response.
Both women were proud; as the Heavenly Pride Girl, how could Su Qingyu lower her face to thank another woman, especially since Luo Shiqi was her love rival.
However, Su Qingyu wasn’t someone who would turn ungrateful after gaining an advantage.
So, she let Ye Shikai convey her gratitude.
It wasn’t just for saving the corporation, but more so for saving the jobs of thousands of employees.
“I really don’t know what’s so good about you that Luo Shiqi would fancy you,” Su Qingyu murmured, unable to help herself.
Her voice was low, but how could it escape the ears of Ye Shikai, the cultivator?
Her words were full of a sour tinge.
Ye Shikai leaned in close to Su Qingyu’s ear and said with a laugh, “Haha, maybe it’s because I’m quite handsome.”
“Show-off, just focus on massaging me,” Su Qingyu retorted indignantly, yet she somewhat agreed in her heart.
Ye Shikai smiled and continued channeling his Inner Strength, kneading the acupressure points on Su Qingyu’s head.
Before long, the only sound left in the room was steady breathing; Su Qingyu had actually fallen asleep.
Ye Shikai gently covered her with a blanket.
Standing in front of the wardrobe, Ye Shikai picked out a coat and put it on.
Before leaving, he switched off the room lights and gently closed the door, then drove off in his Lexus, leaving the villa.
Ye Shikai slowly drove to the front of a dilapidated building.
He parked the car and walked to a large iron gate.
After gently knocking three times on the gate, it slowly opened, revealing the staircase that led downstairs.
Yes, this basement was the place Luo Shiqi found for him upon request.
Originally, Luo Shiqi was puzzled by why he wanted a secluded basement.
At the time, Ye Shikai just smiled and didn’t answer her.
This basement would soon serve as the Netherworld Palace’s branch in Huaxia.
The main base of the Netherworld Palace was in Europe, and the direction of its expansion was mainly in Europe and Africa.
Besides Huaxia, the Netherworld Palace had branches all over the world.
Due to the presence of the National Security Bureau in Huaxia, cultivators generally did not like to come to this place.
However, to cope with the current situation, Ye Shikai made an exception and walked slowly downstairs.
The Underworld was indeed wonderful; although a shabby building stood above, the basement below was meticulously constructed, with titanium alloy walls that could withstand explosions, and a spacious area as large as several football fields, fully equipped and with a comprehensive support system.
In the basement’s main hall, dozens of people were chatting in small groups.
Upon seeing their leader arrive, they immediately perked up and knelt on one knee, saying in unison, “We greet the Netherworld King.” These people were the aides that Ye Shikai had transferred from the Netherworld Palace, and they were also the backbone of the Netherworld Palace’s Huaxia branch – some were even familiar to him.
“Wild Wolf, Short-nosed Crocodile, Jeddon, you guys have been doing well lately, right?” Ye Shikai looked at the three robust men in front of him.
These three were the mainstay of the Netherworld Palace, and though they were not among the four great war generals of the Netherworld Palace, they were battle-hardened and not to be underestimated.
“Been overseas for too long.
Coming to Huaxia this time, I heard that this place is forbidden for external cultivators.
I’m curious to see what kind of foundation lies here,” said Wild Wolf, a tall black man with extraordinary strength in his arms.
“The powers of Huaxia should not be provoked rashly.
The first order I gave here is to forbid you all from stirring up trouble,” Ye Shikai spoke with authority, and everyone couldn’t help but tense up.
