Chapter 59 Three Rules

Upon hearing that the person who had come was Lu Rang, Ye Songming immediately stood up and straightened his Tang suit.

"Quickly, invite them in."

Lu Rang followed the maid in and looked down to see that the tea on the table was still steaming.

He remained expressionless and nodded slightly to Ye Songming.

"Old sir."

"Come here, come here! What brings you here today? It's quite a surprise. I just saw a young lady from the merchant's family leave, and here you are again!" Ye Songming teased with a smile.

Lu Rang's eyes darkened slightly as he sat down opposite Shang Wu and watched as the servant took away the cup of tea that Shang Wu hadn't drunk.

"I'm here for the same reason. I want to ask Mr. Ye to step in and agree to all of Shang Wu's requests."

His casual remark stunned everyone.

Ye Songming stared at him in astonishment, never expecting that his arrival here was related to Shang Wu.

He was shocked, wondering when Lu Rang had met Shang Wu.

Moreover, judging from Lu Rang's tone, it was as if he knew what Shang Wu was doing and even wanted to get involved.

Could it be that Shang Wu is joining forces with Lu Rang to deal with the Zhou family?

Ye Songming was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he didn't know how to answer.

"As you know, Attorney Lu, our Ye family is currently doing business peacefully and prioritizing self-preservation, not wanting to get involved in any turmoil."

Even though we had a good relationship with the business before, we still have to seriously consider whether or not to grant that girl's request.

"If Attorney Lu can't give me a compelling reason to agree, then I'm afraid the Ye family won't be able to help."

Ye Songming shrugged, revealing a helpless expression.

Lu Rang narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have no reason to give it to you; the Ye family must help her."

Ye Songming's expression turned serious.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ye Songming stood up and beckoned to the butler: "Go and call Shijie here, and tell him to go and talk to Shang Wu about cooperation immediately."

The butler gave Lu Rang a deep look, then turned and left.

Lu Rang then put down the hot tea.

Thank you.

Ye Songming hesitated, then smiled at him: "Attorney Lu, may I ask why? You seem very familiar with A-Wu, and you know everything she's done. Could it be that you both have the Zhou family as your common target?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Rang glanced at him indifferently.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes carried the warning of someone in a superior position.

This elderly man, who was over eighty years old, also exuded an indescribable sense of mysterious oppression.

Ye Songming felt a chill run down his spine and didn't ask any more questions.

He smiled, giving himself a way out, and changed the subject: "The Ye family has already decided on the merchants, and I'll get back to A-Wu right away."

Lu Rang then thanked him, shook hands with him, and turned to leave.

After everyone left, the old gentleman slowly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table, lost in thought.

The butler soon returned.

"It's all arranged. Miss Shang will be meeting the young master soon. Miss Shang is truly resourceful; she even managed to alarm someone like Lu Rang..."

"Don't talk nonsense, or it will reach Attorney Lu's ears!" Ye Songming glanced at him unhappily. "Whatever Attorney Lu wants the Ye family to do, we'll do it. Don't ask so many questions."

Besides, he had figured it out: the merchant girl was kind-hearted and had never done anything immoral.

The business got into trouble because its employees had ulterior motives and engaged in improper behavior, which implicated them.

Their family had always been upright and honest, so Shang Wu's sudden attack on the young master of the Zhou family, even at the cost of overturning their three years of loving relationship, must have had an unimaginable hidden story.

Since he didn't know what to do, all he could do was try his best to help.

...

On the other side.

Shang Wu returned to the branch office, worrying about how to persuade the old man to help her, when she unexpectedly received a call from Ye Shijie, the heir of the Ye family.

A thought flickered in her mind, and she immediately answered the call: "Brother Ye."

“Sister Awu, it’s been a long time since we last contacted each other. Do you have some free time? I heard you went to see my grandfather. How about we meet and talk about setting up this scheme?” Ye Shijie asked with a smile.

Shang Wu could hardly believe her ears.

She was a little excited: "Brother Ye, I'm at our branch here now. Come over, I'll be waiting to welcome you."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Wu immediately instructed A Ying to tidy up the guest room.

With the branch just getting on track, all the business people she brought from Chengzhou Group are busy arranging the new product launch.

The factory is also working overtime to catch up on production. After obtaining the production certificate, they haven't stopped for a single second.

The staff working at the branch office are responsible for coordinating various orders and handling buyer needs. They are not very busy before shipment.

After Ah Ying finished tidying up the guest room, she and Shang Wu went downstairs to wait for her.

When Ye Shijie got upstairs, he looked around and said with emotion, "This whole office building used to belong to your business. Now that you've moved the group's branch here to operate as an independent studio, that must be part of the reason."

"There's a saying that fallen leaves return to their roots. Staying on the territory where our business once was gives me a sense of security and reminds me not to forget my original intention. I will definitely deal with those who have hurt our business."

Shang Wu stared intently at Ye Shijie, her gaze carrying a hidden meaning.

"Brother, I'm sure the old man has already told you what I need to do. Are you really willing to help? Chengzhou Group is not so easy to deal with. Joining forces with me might be dangerous."

Out of a sense of responsibility to her partners, she explained all these risks to Ye Shijie in advance.

Shang Wu didn't want to force the issue, but she had no choice but to rely on her father's past friendship with Mr. Ye.

She was all alone and didn't have many connections to rely on.

If she could get the Ye family's help, she would naturally be more than happy to do so, but if she couldn't, she would look for other ways.

In this era, self-preservation is what every group needs to do.

Although she didn't understand why, Mr. Ye suddenly relented and immediately sent Ye Shijie over to help.

She will remember this favor and will definitely find a way to repay it in the future.

Ye Shijie smiled nonchalantly: "I know you are cautious and meticulous by nature. You used to be your parents' little darling. Since you want to join forces with me to set up a scheme, you must have come up with a perfect plan, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have rashly pulled me into the operation."

"Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

His eyes were full of admiration for Shang Wu.

Shang Wu composed herself and realized that Ye Shijie had made thorough preparations before agreeing to cooperate with her this time.

No matter what risks she declares in advance, Yip Sai-kit will not waver in the slightest.

It's as if someone is putting pressure on the Ye family from behind, demanding that they cooperate and obey unconditionally.

Shang Wu composed herself and immediately informed Ye Shijie of the next steps in the plan.

After listening, Yip Sai-kit immediately stood up and shook hands with her.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation. I will release the news on my end, and everything is up to you to take the next step."

Shang Wu nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Ye, thank you, sir. I will never forget your kindness after I have accomplished this."

Yip Sai-kit smiled meaningfully.

"Actually, it's not just us helping you; you have many benefactors behind you. You're not fighting hard all by yourself."

Shang Wu frowned slightly: "Brother Ye, what do you mean by this? I feel like you're hinting at someone."

"You'll see later. If someone doesn't want to reveal their name, it's not convenient for me to say more."

Ye Shijie kept everyone in suspense, then turned and left.

Shang Wu watched his figure disappear into the distance, when suddenly a large, smiling face appeared before her eyes.

Aying leaned closer and winked at her.

"Mr. Shang, did you call me by the wrong number last night? Why did I see a missed call with only one ring when I woke up this morning?"

When Shang Wu heard her mention this, she was caught off guard by what had happened last night, and her eyes showed a hint of disgust and rejection.

She said calmly, "I dialed the wrong number."

Shang Wu turned around and sat down at the table.

A staff member then pushed the door open and came in, nodding.

"Miss, a woman has come outside. She says she wants to see you and has some work to discuss with you."

woman?

Shang Wu looked up at A Ying with a puzzled expression.

Ah Ying quickly went out to check.

The next second, her scream echoed throughout the studio.

"Slumber? It's you?!"

Shang Wu paused, got up and went out, and saw Chen Mian covering her stomach with one hand, looking around the branch with an unbridled arrogance and naturalness, as if she had come to her own home.

She walked over cautiously.

What are you doing here?

Chenmian smiled faintly: "What, have you lost your memory? You sent me that kind of text message last night, and now you're pretending you don't remember?"

Shang Wu certainly remembered what happened last night.

She sent a text message to Chenmian, provoking her, in order to make her contact Zhou Yanci as soon as possible and get the person away.

But after a whole night, there was still no movement from the deep sleep.

She really didn't understand. Now that Chen Mian was pregnant, shouldn't she be even more aware of the crisis?

As Shang Wu was thinking, Chen Mian had already turned around and sat down.

"You must be wondering why I wasn't worried at all last night, even though I knew Ah Ci was with you and slept with you, right?"

Shang Wu looked up at her, clenching her fists.

As Chenmian met her icy gaze, she smiled.

"That's because Ah Ci and I have already made a three-point agreement regarding your matter."

Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "What did you two agree to?"

Chenmian smiled almost cruelly as she placed an agreement in front of Shang Wu.

"This is what Ah Ci is going to sign for you. I'll give it to you now so you can take your time to look at it."

She revealed a gleeful expression, as if she wanted to see Shang Wu despair.
