Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Cheng’s retaliation came faster than Mei Shu had anticipated.
In the evening, Mei Shu was invited to attend a reception where he encountered Mei Cheng and some of his better-connected business partners.
As soon as Mei Cheng saw Mei Shu, he whispered a few words to the people around him.
He thought that Mei Shu was too far away to hear.
However, little did he know that Mei Shu’s senses were sharp, and she had heard his words clearly.
Suppressing the urge to sneer, she pretended to be unaware and sat down with Kang Lan to have tea.
At this moment, Mei Cheng and the man beside him approached.
The man was named Ye Yan, the newly appointed CEO of the Ye family. Back then, his father, relying on his determination, had managed to secure a certain market share for the Ye family. Therefore, despite Ye Yan’s misbehavior, the Ye family still stood strong.
Mei Shu recognized him because Lu Si had mentioned that the Ye family had a prodigal son who spent his days indulging in pleasure, who made the Ye family lose millions last month, and Mei Cheng was the one who benefited from it.
Now the two of them came over together, Mei Shu couldn’t help but feel that Mei Cheng was truly unscrupulous. Even after tricking this man like this, he still wanted to make advantage of him.
“Hi, my niece.” Mei Cheng approached and, completely devoid of the sinister and shameless demeanor he had displayed in the Mei family last night, he now seemed genuinely concerned, like a caring uncle.
Mei Shu lowered her eyes and stood up, cooperating with him in this act. “Uncle.”
Mei Cheng satisfactorily introduced the man beside him, “This is Ye Yan, the new CEO of the Ye family. We’ll often meet each other in business in the future. I brought him here specially for you to get to know each other.”
Mei Shu politely nodded, keeping her distance.
Feeling a bit awkward, Mei Cheng greeted Kang Lan and then sat down beside Mei Shu, looking very pleased. “Don’t underestimate my niece just because she’s young. She’s now a capable hand in managing the company. She recently took the initiative to clean up a group of employees, which is not something an ordinary young girl would do.”
Mei Shu knew he was being sarcastic, but she didn’t feel angry. She smiled gracefully and replied, “Uncle overpraises me. Removing useless people from the company and leaving behind elites to move forward is what I should do as the CEO.”
Mei Cheng reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, “Coincidentally, Ye Yan and you are of the same kind. He recently cleaned up the company as well, and now the efficiency of the entire company has improved! Ultimately, you young people are more suitable to lead the company than us old folks. You have much more vigor!”
Kang Lan glanced at Mei Cheng, who was still praising Ye Yan ceaselessly, with a complex expression.
Who didn’t know that Ye Yan had dismissed all the top talents in the company?
No one knew how Mei Cheng tricked Ye Yan to fire all the hardworking and capable employees and leave behind only those who were cunning or incompetent.
And those talents were later recruited by Mei Cheng into his own company.
Now only Ye Yan was still in the dark, while everyone else saw through Mei Cheng’s intentions. He deliberately approached Ye Yan, just to take advantage of the Ye family.
After all, Mei Shu was the daughter of his former good friend, Bai Ling. Kang Lan couldn’t bear to see her being deceived and took the initiative to change the topic. “By the way, Mei Shu, I suddenly remembered that someone else is here today. You should meet them. Shall I introduce you?”
Seeing Kang Lan signaling to her repeatedly, even if Mei Shu wanted to stay and confront Mei Cheng, she couldn’t refuse Kang Lan’s face. She smiled wryly and said, “Thank you, Uncle Kang. Uncle, Mr. Ye, please excuse us. We have to leave.”
As their figures gradually moved away, Mei Cheng no longer hided his malicious intentions. “Damn Kang Lan, meddling in at this time!”
“It’s okay. Your niece seems to have a good impression of me,” Ye Yan said greedily, staring at Mei Shu’s figure.
Admittedly, Mei Shu was extraordinarily beautiful, but in their circle, there was no shortage of beautiful women.
But if you added family background and status, no one could compare to Mei Shu!
Ye Yan had always had a determination: to never lose to anyone.
He believed that in terms of appearance and wealth, he was not inferior to Lu Si. Why should Lu Si hog all the limelight?
Even if Lu Si wasn’t present, all the women’s hearts were still yearning for him.
Ye Yan was extremely jealous of the favor and flattery that Lu Si received from women and had vowed to become a man like Lu Si!
For him, now was an excellent opportunity to surpass Lu Si.
If the woman Lu Si cherished turned her affections to him, then Lu Si would forever be a loser in his eyes!
With this in mind, Ye Yan was even more determined to win over Mei Shu.
Mei Cheng saw through his thoughts and hid his venomous viper-like coldness. He smiled sincerely. “In that case, you can go and spend some time with her alone later. If you interact with her more, she will definitely realize how good you are.”
“Of course.” Ye Yan stood up and personally brought two glasses of wine towards Mei Shu’s direction..
