143: Chapter 143: The Handsome Man Strategy 143: Chapter 143: The Handsome Man Strategy Ye Shikai suddenly turned around and seeing Ailina’s mischievous smile, he thought: This woman is really full of tricks.

What should I do now?

The news about Handsome Ye dining with a foreign beauty will soon spread around the office.

Ye Shikai picked up his plate and abruptly stood up, planning to make a swift exit before Su Qingyu and An Lan could catch him in the act.

“Wife, Lan, what a coincidence, you guys are here for lunch too.” Ye Shikai greeted them while holding his plate, but seeing the stern expression on Su Qingyu’s face, it seemed she had already noticed.

“So, you still remember you’re married?

I thought you wanted to flirt with a few more girls before I made our marriage public at the office,” Su Qingyu remarked with a glance at Ailina at the table behind her, her tone slightly unnatural, apparently feeling jealous.

“Wife, why are you talking in such a strange tone?

Ailina is a new employee in the department; I’m just showing her around.

If you don’t believe me, ask Lan,” Ye Shikai said, pointing at An Lan nearby.

“Qingyu, he’s telling the truth,” An Lan confirmed, which finally reassured Su Qingyu.

She and An Lan chose a seat to sit down.

Su Qingyu, always the aloof CEO at the office, was generally feared by the employees, so as she settled, people around her quickly dispersed.

Ye Shikai also left the cafeteria, only to find Ailina shadowing him like a ghost, impossible to shake off.

“Hey, I’m going to the restroom; are you planning to follow me in there, too?” Ye Shikai stopped at the entrance of the men’s room, teasing Ailina, convinced that the restroom’s sanctity would deter her.

“I’ll wait for you here,” Ailina replied with a laugh, showing no signs of leaving.

Alright, Ye Shikai conceded; she was downright hooligan-like.

When he returned to the PR department, as it was still early, the office area was deserted except for Ye Shikai and Ailina.

Looking in the direction of An Lan’s office, suddenly he had an idea.

“Ailina, I have a task for you,” Ye Shikai became very serious.

“What task?”

“From now on, ensure Mr.

An’s safety,” Ye Shikai instructed.

Not just Su Qingyu, but An Lan also held an irreplaceable place in Ye Shikai’s heart, so he needed to ensure her safety.

“Oh, I knew it!

You’re having an affair with Mr.

An, aren’t you?” scoffed Ailina.

“This is an order.

If you won’t comply, you might as well go back to Europe right now,” Ye Shikai intensified his tone, leaving no room for questioning.

“Alright, leave it to me,” Ailina finally agreed, unable to defy the persistent Ye Shikai.

After all, Ye Shikai was the Netherworld King, the master of Netherworld Palace, and she was his subordinate.

At that moment, Ye Shikai received a text message; it was from Su Qingyu, asking him to come to the president’s office immediately.

Instructing Ailina to guard An Lan well, Ye Shikai headed upstairs.

On his way, he noticed many janitors wearing caps, subtly signaling him with their eyes.

Ye Shikai realized these were skilled operatives from Jeddon positioned by Su Qingyu — clearly, she was safe in the office.

Approaching the office, Ye Shikai saw a beautiful figure—it was Su Qingyu’s secretary, Zhuang Yan.

“Miss Zhuang, we meet again,” Ye Shikai greeted her, patting her shoulder from behind.

“Yo, it’s you.

I can hardly call myself a beauty in your presence,” Zhuang Yan said with a sour expression.

“What do you mean?” Ye Shikai was confused by her words; they sounded sarcastic.

“Just this afternoon, you were dining with that new foreign beauty from the office.

You’ve forgotten the beauty you hooked up with so quickly,” Zhuang Yan said, pulling out her phone—it displayed a photo of Ye Shikai and Ailina having lunch.

“Now everyone in the office is gossiping about it; you didn’t know?”

Ye Shikai was taken aback, suddenly realizing Su Qingyu summoned him probably because of this.

He hurriedly pushed open the office door, finding Su Qingyu sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

“Wife, did you need to see me?” Ye Shikai poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down.

“Of course, have you seen this photo?” Su Qingyu tossed her phone to Ye Shikai, displaying the photo of him and Ailina dining.

“I already explained, didn’t I?

There are too many gossipers in the office,” Ye Shikai responded.

“Alright, I’ll trust you for now,” Su Qingyu said with a displeased expression, then handed Ye Shikai a document.

“Wife, what’s this?” Ye Shikai opened the document, not quite understanding Su Qingyu’s intent.

“Remember the last time our company collaborated with Shiqi’s group?” she asked.

“Of course,” Ye Shikai nodded.

They had given Shiqi five billion to invest in Tianya Group to alleviate the group’s financial stress.

“This is a piece of land owned by the group, but we haven’t really used it, so we intend to sell it,” Su Qingyu took a sip of her tea, flashing Ye Shikai a mysterious smile.

“You don’t expect me to sell it, do you?”

“Exactly.

It was valued at twenty million during bidding.

If you don’t sell it for forty million, don’t come back,” Su Qingyu stated flatly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Ye Shikai was speechless; how could a twenty million property be sold for forty million?

That’s outright profiteering.

“How could I, wife?

Where can I find a sucker to buy it?” Ye Shikai wagered that Su Qingyu was challenging him; he was no big shot in Yanjing, and apart from the wealthy Shiqi, who else would pay such a high price for the land?

“I can’t believe Shiqi would refuse,” Su Qingyu cunningly smiled.

“I can’t just trick her into being the sucker,” Ye Shikai said helplessly.

“Besides, she’s not a fool to fall for such a scam.”

“If it comes to that, you can always resort to the ‘beauty trap,'” Su Qingyu shockingly suggested.

What?

A beauty trap?

Usually, if Ye Shikai talks with Shiqi a bit more, Su Qingyu would get jealous, but today, she was unusually tolerant.
