Chen Mengyan heard that this was the reason. She was not a selfish person. On the contrary, from the time Chen Mengyan’s father educated her when she was young, she had a very warm heart. Otherwise, when she took the bus with Yang Ming in the past, Chen Mengyan would not have bluntly seized the thief.
Hearing the situation that Yang Ming described, she immediately sympathized with this “Chen Mengxi.” Chen Mengyan thought that she had to have a reason to take care of this new classmate at school. It would be hard to explain once the others asked. Since she was called “Chen Mengxi,” she could say that Chen Mengxi was her sister.
Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan also agreed, “Of course, there is no problem with it. It is just a small matter. You are busy every day, rarely appearing at university. With me helping you take care of her, everything will just be fine, right? Where is she? Am I going to meet her?”
“She has nowhere to live. I have arranged for her to stay at the Song Jiang International Hotel. You can accompany her to enroll in university tomorrow.” Yang Ming had to pull a trick. He couldn’t reveal Victoria’s origin, and he didn’t want to tell Chen Mengyan that Victoria was her bodyguard responsible for protecting her and several others. It would appear as though there was always the danger of being assassinated. It would be bad if Chen Mengyan were to live in fear every day.
“Where is she staying? How about we let her stay in our house? There are so many empty rooms. What’s one more guest?” Chen Mengyan thought for a moment and said, “What do you say?”
“As long as you feel comfortable, I don’t mind.” Yang Ming said, “Are you not afraid of her hearing us get intimate?”
“What are you saying!” Chen Mengyan’s face suddenly turned red. “Aunty Li will come back in a few days. I will give her a room next to Aunty Li’s room. Anyway, they are all on the first floor, and we are on the second floor. She won’t be able to hear us…”
” Hehe , then you decide.” Yang Ming thought a little and said to Chen Mengyan, “Yes, her character is quite strong. I told her that I will handle her tuition, but she still has to work to make money. How about this? You should just tell her to live in our house. She can work as a housekeeper here while she studies.”
“That’s fine.” Chen Mengyan nodded. She knew that there were people like this who didn’t want others’ handouts, so it was all right.
Yang Ming finished speaking, and he secretly felt guilty in his heart. He had lied to Chen Mengyan once again. However, it couldn’t be helped. He didn’t want her to know too much. Yang Ming knew very well that Chen Mengyan cared very much about him. He didn’t want Chen Mengyan to worry about him.
Chen Mengyan was different from Wang Xiaoyan and Sun Jie. She had not been in contact with society. After all, she was still young, incubated like a flower planted in the greenhouse. Her tolerance was not very high.
It seems I must hurry and find the behind-the-scenes forces and let them scamper off. What the h*ll!
Yang Ming was extremely wealthy and had pretty girls residing in his house. His life was paradise. However, Yang Ming did not enjoy the feeling of living in paradise. After all, he could die at any time…
After Lin Zhiyun took a shower, Chen Mengyan told her about Victoria. Lin Zhiyun naturally agreed. Having one more person at home didn’t matter much. If she were a peer, it would add some excitement.
Early the next morning, Yang Ming drove Lin Zhiyun to the university and took Chen Mengyan to the Song Jiang International Hotel. Lin Zhiyun wanted to come along, but she had class in the morning, so only Chen Mengyan could tag along.
Yang Ming called Victoria, “Mengxi, get ready. I will bring you to the university to enroll.”
“I don’t need to monitor Alice anymore?” asked Victoria.
“No need.” Alice hadn’t made any movements in a while. Most likely, the power of the warrant had forced the boss behind-the-scenes to stop for now. He would not be active for a while.
“Yang Ming, let’s pick her up.” Chen Mengyan was very enthusiastic, “How much luggage does she have? She’s a girl, so I expect quite a lot.”
“She doesn’t have much. Just a notebook and some clothes.” Yang Ming had sent her here, so he knew how much luggage Victoria had brought with her.
“Oh…” Chen Mengyan nodded and sat in the car.
After a while, they saw Victoria come out of the hotel door with some bags in her hands. Chen Mengyan saw her and asked Yang Ming, “Is that her?”
“Yes.” Yang Ming nodded.
“Didn’t you say that she didn’t bring much?” Chen Mengyan glared at Yang Ming and quickly got out to help Victoria.
Yang Ming was also quite baffled. Previously, when Victoria stayed in the hotel, she didn’t bring anything at all. How come she has so much luggage now? She almost looked like a refugee escaping from a famine.
Right! Yang Ming suddenly thought of Victoria’s tempting appearance. She was wearing a small leather jacket and a short leather skirt. She must have bought a lot of clothes online.
They helped Victoria open the trunk of the car and put in her luggage. Yang Ming glared at Victoria while Chen Mengyan was not paying any attention, “Why did you buy so many things?”
“I thought they looked good,” Victoria told the truth, dissipating Yang Ming’s annoyance. When Yang Ming gave Victoria a credit card back then, Yang Ming told her that she could buy anything she wanted. He couldn’t go back on his promise now.
Yang Ming let Chen Mengyan and Victoria sit in the back, and he started the car.
“Your name is Mengxi? You have didn’t have a name before?” Chen Mengyan was obviously curious about Victoria’s background.
“The people back in my hometown called me Victoria.” Victoria used the information that Yang Ming gave her yesterday.
“Victoria. The name is pleasing to the ear… but it is a bit of a hassle when it comes to pinning down an identity.” Chen Mengyan nodded. It was rare to see such names except in minority communities. “Should I call you Mengxi or Victoria?”
“Either will do.” Victoria tried to maintain her smile. She was used to being cold to people previously. Even if she were enthusiastic in her heart, she couldn’t show her enthusiasm on her face.
Yang Ming was not afraid of Victoria telling the truth. He was worried that he himself would tell it. Hence, in Victoria’s information, the name, Victoria, became her name from in her hometown.
Chen Mengyan and Victoria chatted in the back seat. Chen Mengyan realized that Victoria was not good at getting along with others. Although her tone was plain, Chen Mengyan was not annoyed because she felt that Victoria was working hard to communicate with her.
Yang Ming didn’t interject from the front. He couldn’t reveal that he was familiar with Victoria.
“Victoria knows how to drive. You should bring her to get a driving license. That way, we’ll still have a driver when you go out.” Yang Ming said, “She drove four-wheeled vehicles in her hometown…”
Victoria rolled her eyes upon hearing that. She had never seen anything like that on the farm, but she couldn’t refute Yang Ming and could only nod her head.
“How can you think of her as a driver?” Chen Mengyan was a little angry with Yang Ming. How sad will Victoria feel after hearing that?
“Please, I insist.” Victoria said, “I live in your house, and you take me to school. If I don’t do anything, I’ll feel uncomfortable.”
Victoria said it exactly the way Yang Ming had told her to. She didn’t understand why Yang Ming couldn’t just tell Chen Mengyan that she was her bodyguard.
However, Yang Ming was her master. Victoria could only listen to him.
Yang Ming left the enrollment to Chen Mengyan. Chen Mengyan was the vice president of the Student Union of the School of Economics and Management. If she enrolled Victoria, it would get twice the result with half the effort.
1349. An Internally Cracked Fuse
Liu Jifei reported his intention to cooperate with the Ming Yang Security Company to the group headquarters. Although they were doubtful that Liu Jifei could engage with the Ming Yang Security Company, it was still a good thing. Grandpa Liu Jiangyan also spoke up. If this business succeeded, Liu Jifei and Xu Xiaobin would be put into important positions in the Jiangyan Group.
Therefore, the Jiangyan Group headquarters had issued a letter to Liu Jifei and Xu Xiaobin, entrusting them with establishing cooperation with the Ming Yang Security Company.
The Jiangyan Group’s Stationed Office in Song Jiang was officiated as the Jiangyan Group’s Song Jiang Branch. Xu Xiaobin was appointed as the General Manager of the branch. Liu Jifei was appointed as the Delegation Head for establishing cooperation with the Ming Yang Security Company, and Xu Xiaobin was named the vice delegate.
It was obvious what this appointment meant. If the cooperation were successful, Liu Jifei would be promoted and reappointed to the group’s headquarters. The vice delegate, Xu Xiaobin, would retain his position as the branch’s General Manager.
However, if the cooperation failed, the delegation would be removed by default. Liu Jifei would mind his own business, and the vice delegate, Xu Xiaobin, would keep his position as General Manager of the group’s Song Jiang branch but would exercise no real authority.
There was no difference between such a branch and a stationed office. The maintenance cost would be higher, but the group would not increase its funding. Hence, Xu Xiaobin would have to work hard to facilitate cooperation.
Now that he had obtained the authorization letter, Xu Xiaobin could work on a large scale. He was very excited. Liu Jifei seemed to be only fishing for achievements. He left most of the work to Xu Xiaobin.
However, Xu Xiaobin didn’t mind. Without Liu Jifei, he couldn’t even think of meeting Bao Sanli. Without Liu Jifei, the cooperation project would have been blocked by the group.
Therefore, Xu Xiaobin felt it was fine to work more. When the cooperation was formed, the General Manager of the Song Jiang branch office would benefit more. Although Liu Jifei would directly enter the group headquarters, Xu Xiaobin was not envious. His family surname was Liu. Xu Xiaobin knew his relatives would be satisfied with his position.
Moreover, if he went to the group’s headquarters, the competition would be much fiercer! As an external General Manager, although the development potential was not good, it was a luxurious job. At the Song Jiang branch, he had total control. He could do whatever he wanted.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaobin was very satisfied. As long as he facilitated cooperation, his future days would be filled with luxury. Xu Xiaobin’s girlfriend didn’t comment, but he knew that she was dissatisfied.
Xu Xiaobin’s girlfriend, Wang Lixia, was beautiful. She was a campus belle at university. She also saw Xu Xiaobin’s background with the Liu Family. At the age of twenty, she accepted a position as a group office manager and had been assigned to him.
In the beginning, Xu Xiaobin was the best of their classmates. He earned great prestige at the classmates’ gathering. But after a few years, almost all of his classmates had successful careers. Especially among the sisters in the dorm, one of them was not as pretty as Xu Xiaobin’s girlfriend. She found a boyfriend who was the sales manager of the city’s chemical company. The income every month was about thirty or forty thousand.
Wang Lixia looked at Xu Xiaobin again. She was a little annoyed that he hadn’t been able to advance past his manager position. But, she had slept with him. She wasn’t young anymore. Even if she were to consider breaking up with him, Wang Lixia could not be reconciled. Although Xu Xiaobin couldn’t be deemed to have a successful career, he had done well enough. He made at least eighty to one hundred thousand annually – a decent salary.
Moreover, Wang Lixia had feelings for Xu Xiaobin. She did not mention breaking up, but she was dissatisfied with Xu Xiaobin’s current situation.
“Xiaobin, what does this Liu Jifei do? Isn’t he just a distant relative of the Liu Family? You entertain him all day long, but I can see that you can go further than him.” Wang Lixia couldn’t help but complain. She noticed that Xu Xiaobin spent most of his money to entertain Liu Jifei, and she was dissatisfied.
She now understood that despite Liu Jifei’s surname, he was in the same boat as Xu Xiaobin. He was not a direct descendant of the Liu Family. Hence, he had no development potential. Otherwise, Xu Xiaobin wouldn’t have stayed as an office manager for so many years.
“What do you know? Let me tell you, Lixia. This time, I hit the jackpot.” Xu Xiaobin was somewhat proud. “Our good days are coming. You’ll no longer need to lower your head in front of your classmates.”
“What do you mean? Is it the cooperation of the security company you talked about these past two days?” Wang Lixia was puzzled, “Have there been any developments?”
“Of course! I didn’t know whether it was possible previously. However, the group headquarters had issued a letter of authorization today. It should be mailed by now!” Xu Xiaobin said excitedly, “Liu Jifei is still very powerful. Even the group gave me support. As long as the group supports us, we will succeed!”
“Xiaobin, Liu Jifei colludes with many parties, and he went to the group. You have to keep an eye on him. Don’t be stupid and do uncompensated work. If this matter is successful, what if Liu Jifei claims all the merits?” Wang Lixia said with some concern, “What if he gets promoted and pushes you away? In the end, he’s a Liu, and you’re a Xu!”
“Why are women’s eyes so short-sighted!?” Xu Xiaobin smiled and waved his hand. “If cooperation can really be achieved, Brother Fei will be promoted, and he will be prioritized in the group! For me, I don’t have to think about entering headquarters.”
“Then, why do you still follow up with this matter? After he leaves, aren’t you still the stupid manager of this broken office?” Wang Lixia was puzzled.
“How do I tell you!?” Xu Xiaobin shook his head. “Women have long hair but are short-sighted! What happened to my office manager role? If the cooperation is successful and Brother Fei is promoted, who will be in charge in Song Jiang?”
“You!” Wang Lixia screamed and went into Xu Xiaobin’s arms. “The manager of this office will have a lot of power in the future. He will be responsible for the operation of the company and receive plenty of benefits!”
“Now, you know why I am so enthusiastic about this! It is for you to have a good life in the future!” said Xu Xiaobin proudly.
“Dear, you are great.” Wang Lixia felt horny. She extended her hand to unzip Xu Xiaobin’s pants.
*Cough…* Coughing came from outside the door. Wang Lixia was shocked and quickly retracted her hand. The two people looked at the door in horror. They saw Liu Jifei excitedly holding a special express delivery package as he came in, saying, “Xiaobin, we’ve received the group’s power of attorney and personnel appointments. We still have much to do. Please be intimate with your girlfriend at home.”
Although Liu Jifei spoke in a dignified manner, his eyes stared lecherously at Wang Lixia. He thought, This girl looks pretty good. If I get to play with her for one night, that would be awesome. It seems that I have to find a place to vent my frustration for a while. Wang Lixia is a little slut. She is anxious to do it with Xu Xiaobin in the office.
Thinking of this, Liu Jifei decided to find a chance to play with her.
“It’s here? That’s great!” Xu Xiaobin didn’t notice Liu Jifei’s gaze. He was wholly immersed in the excitement of the news. “Then, we can continue to talk about cooperation with President Bao!”
“Yes, this matter should be completed as soon as possible.” Liu Jifei said, “Although the group appointed me to discuss cooperation, this was your responsibility before. It should be up to you to negotiate. I will not participate. You know, I came here for the accomplishment. I need to be low-key, so I will give you the space to develop.”
“I understand. Rest assured, Brother Fei. Leave everything to me.” Xu Xiaobin also did not want Liu Jifei to influence his negotiations. Now, he could make the final call. Xu Xiaobin really enjoyed this feeling.
