Chapter 176 Stop Joking
Bai Weiwei was trembling with anger, but then she glanced at Ye Chengyan with concern. Seeing that he was expressionless and had no reaction at all, she felt frustrated and hated Cheng Shuyan even more.
But she couldn't afford to offend Cheng Shuyan.
If Cheng Shuyan only had his own company, that would be one thing, but he also has the Cheng family behind him.
Bai Weiwei suffered a great loss at Cheng Shuyan's hands last time, so she naturally won't forget it this time.
"Cheng Shuyan, what nonsense are you spouting? Alright, I know you've met your girlfriend's parents, so get out of here." Bai Weiwei just wanted him to leave as soon as possible.
How could she have ever thought that such a tasteless man who liked to expose other people's shortcomings was a gentleman and handsome?
She must have had bad eyesight before.
Cheng Shuyan was too lazy to waste time here.
I wonder how Yunzhi's conversation with her grandfather went, and whether she was bullied by him.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Chengyan called him back.
Cheng Shuyan paused, frowned, and looked at Ye Chengyan, as if silently asking, "What's the matter?"
Ye Chengyan glanced at Bai Weiwei and said, "I have something to say to you. Let's find a quiet place."
"It's about her," Ye Chengyan added before Cheng Shuyan could refuse.
Although Ye Chengyan did not explicitly say who she was, Cheng Shuyan immediately thought of Yunzhi.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and then his gaze fell on Ye Chengyan.
Ye Chengyan remained expressionless. After a long standoff, Cheng Shuyan nodded and said, "Let's talk outside."
If it were anything else, Cheng Shuyan could ignore it, but since it concerned Yunzhi, he had to be more cautious.
Ye Chengyan gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.
Neither of them asked for Bai Weiwei's information.
Bai Weiwei watched the two men disappear from her sight one after the other, and angrily gulped down a cup of coffee.
Then Bai Weiwei gritted her teeth, her expression contorted, picked up her bag, stood up, and walked towards the place where the two had disappeared.
She just wanted to see what kind of riddle these two men were playing.
She startled the shop assistant as she passed by; Bai Weiwei's expression was as if she were about to kill someone with a knife.
at this time.
Cheng Shuyan and Ye Chengyan found a relatively secluded spot.
The two stood facing each other.
Cheng Shuyan remained silent, waiting for Ye Chengyan to speak.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the sycamore leaves overhead rustled against each other. One sycamore leaf swayed and fell, landing on Ye Chengyan's head.
Ye Chengyan plucked the sycamore leaf without changing his expression.
"You and Yunzhi are eating here?"
He actually wanted to ask Cheng Shuyan if he and Yunzhi had already met each other's parents.
Cheng Shuyan hummed in agreement, and then Ye Chengyan fell silent after he finished speaking.
He glanced at the time; three minutes later, Ye Chengyan had managed to come up with this one question.
Just as Cheng Shuyan was about to leave after patiently winning the bid, Ye Chengyan suddenly spoke up, "President Cheng, didn't you really want the Yu Guang project?"
Yu Guang is a major project developed by the Ye Group, with considerable interest, and almost everyone is tempted by it, including Cheng Shuyan. However, he understands that Ye Chengyan is not a philanthropist and would not give him such a lucrative project for no reason.
Cheng Shuyan crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, not in a hurry to leave, raising an eyebrow at Ye Chengyan.
"Of course, who in the industry wouldn't want Yu Guang's project? What? Is CEO Ye willing to let me get a piece of the pie?"
Cheng Shuyan's tone was sarcastic.
"Okay." To everyone's surprise, Ye Chengyan agreed immediately. "I can let you get involved in this project and I'm willing to give you one-third of the profits."
Now it was Cheng Shuyan's turn to be astonished. He suspected that Ye Chengyan was joking, but his serious expression didn't seem like he was joking.
Cheng Shuyan pondered in his mind what roughly one-third of the profit would amount to. What was Ye Chengyan planning to do with such a large sum of money?
"What do you want to change?"
Cheng Shuyan got straight to the point.
He forgot that Ye Chengyan's excuse for calling him out was Yunzhi. If he remembered this now, he probably wouldn't say a word more to him.
The fact that Ye Chengyan would give up such a large amount of profit must mean he has something big on his mind.
Cheng Shuyan was already mentally planning all the projects, big and small, at hand.
Who knew that at this moment, Ye Chengyan's words would catch him off guard.
"I want Yunzhi."
The simple four words brought a sense of calm to the air.
After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Cheng Shuyan sneered, "Mr. Ye, Zhizhi isn't an object; you can't buy her back just by offering a discount."
"I know, Yu Guang's one-third of the profits are exchanged for your breakup with Yunzhi and never being able to be together again. How about it, President Cheng? It should be a good deal, right? It's just a woman, how can it compare to billions in profits?"
Ye Chengyan himself felt like he had gone mad.
Yu Guang used one-third of his profits to force Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi to break up.
Yu Guang was involved with too many people and interests. He knew that what he was doing would definitely cause a turmoil among the shareholders, but he had no choice. Just thinking about Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan being together made his heart ache as if ants were gnawing at it.
He also tried to avoid contacting Yunzhi in order to lessen her influence on him, but he failed in the end.
This woman possessed a magic he couldn't describe.
Even if she doesn't say a word, she can drive him mad.
Sometimes, Ye Chengyan would jokingly wonder if he owed Yunzhi something in his past life, which was why he was influenced by her to do so many uncontrollable things in this life.
His once-proud composure seemed like a joke in front of Yunzhi.
Break up? Cheng Shuyan stepped forward and grabbed Ye Chengyan by the collar. His grip tightened little by little, and his eyes were filled with anger.
“Ye Chengyan, do you think Zhizhi is our plaything? You are insulting Zhizhi. Even if you give me a third of the profits, or even if you give me all of Yu Guang’s profits, I still can’t break up with her.”
That little bit of money is nothing compared to Yunzhi.
Yunzhi is priceless; in fact, Cheng Shuyan felt that even thinking about it was an insult to Yunzhi.
"Two-thirds of the profits, Mr. Cheng, are you sure you don't want to consider it?" Ye Chengyan twitched his lips. After Cheng Shuyan refused, he not only did not feel relieved, but also felt a strong sense of resentment and emptiness.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Cheng Shuyan felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. He finally couldn't bear it any longer and punched Ye Chengyan in the face.
Cheng Shuyan used all his strength in that punch.
Ye Chengyan's face swelled up quickly.
Cheng Shuyan threw Ye Chengyan aside, staggered back two steps, touched his stinging, swollen cheek, and gave a playful smile.
"President Cheng is really innocent. I just wonder if Yunzhi would choose you like President Cheng would if the interests were the same."
Cheng Shuyan's expression changed immediately. It wasn't that he didn't trust Yunzhi, but he realized that the two of them were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship at all, and that he had lied to get this meeting today.
