After her parents passed away, she encountered far too many men who fawned over her.
And without exception, these men all had almost the same goal.
But this man in front of her, she even rejected his advances. Was he really different from others, or...?
Seeing Yi Qingmeng's puzzled look, Ye Xingchen understood what she meant: "I'm a normal person, don't overthink it."
"Then why did you reject me? Am I not pretty?" Yi Qingmeng believed that Ye Xingchen was a normal man, but she didn't understand why he would reject her.
“All that I’ve done for you isn’t for these reasons. In short, I don’t act on impulse, understand?” Ye Xingchen said.
"Then why did you help me?" Yi Qingmeng asked.
"Is the reason 'to help those in need' acceptable?" Ye Xingchen said seriously.
Yi Qingmeng looked at Ye Xingchen with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Suddenly, she pounced on him and pinned him down.
"Haven't I made myself clear? I didn't do this for these reasons, so why are you still like this?" Ye Xingchen blocked her fierce attack.
"I know, but I'm doing this willingly," Yi Qingmeng said breathlessly, straddling Ye Xingchen. "I also know that in Yun City, a beautiful woman without a powerful man to rely on is destined for a miserable end..."
"And you... are the man I'm willing to depend on."
"Have you thought this through?" Ye Xingchen grabbed her hand. To be honest, he didn't want to take advantage of her.
It's a lie for a beautiful woman to say she doesn't like him, but he wants someone who is willing, not someone who will only give herself to him when she has no other choice.
“I’ve thought it through…” Yi Qingmeng slowly knelt down, her hot, delicate body trembling slightly: “I’m entrusting my life to you.”
By the time I took her home, it was already dawn.
Zhenzhen was already asleep, holding her favorite teddy bear in her arms.
After covering her with the blanket, Yi Qingmeng went into the living room.
"The company's situation is a bit complicated," Ye Xingchen said, gently placing the documents she had placed on the table down.
"The company originally belonged to your father. After he passed away, your mother inherited the company. Now that she has passed away, her will states that the company belongs to you and your sister."
“Your sister is currently a minor, and you are holding all her shares in the company on her behalf, but the other shareholders are clearly not happy with you.”
“Actually, I had been involved in the company’s management all along,” Xia Qingmeng said. “But after my parents passed away, the company’s executives and shareholders wanted to find a way to oust me.”
"Are they planning to hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, it’s the final coup. I hold 45% of the shares, while they have now joined forces and hold far more shares than I do, so I will most likely be ousted.” Yi Qingmeng lowered her head.
"The shareholder I met yesterday was a good friend of my father. He owns 10% of the shares. If I could win him over, I would be in an invincible position. But unfortunately... he has clearly already sided with the other side."
Yes, it was my father's best friend who, during his most difficult time, allowed him to invest in his family's company.
But to my surprise, instead of being grateful, he joined forces with those people to deal with me.
This time, Yi Qingmeng was utterly disillusioned with humanity.
So overnight she understood a principle: either become a strong person herself, or become a strong woman herself.
Ye Xingchen was his best choice.
More importantly, she did not reject this man. On the contrary, after giving herself completely to him, she felt a strange joy.
Because she didn't know when, she had already fallen in love with him.
“When it comes to personal gain, friendship is worthless.” Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, “Besides, his friendship is between him and your father, and it has nothing to do with you.”
"And even if your father were alive, if there were a way to do it now, he would do it without hesitation."
"I really don't know how to handle the board meeting after 9 o'clock," Yi Qingmeng sighed softly.
"It's alright, I'm here." Ye Xingchen casually placed the documents on the table: "Any unusual noises in your company will disappear."
"Mmm." Yi Qingmeng nodded gently, feeling a little happy inside.
Ye Xingchen's words were gentle yet domineering, making her feel protected.
At nine o'clock in the morning, people were already seated in the conference room of Yichen Group.
Yichen Group is not a small company, with an annual turnover of tens of millions and considerable profits. Apart from the shares held by Yi Qingmeng, there are five shareholders of varying sizes.
The largest shareholder, who owns 25% of the shares, is named Li Yixing, and he was the one who issued the notice for this shareholders' meeting.
Yi Qingmeng's father's friend, Wang Chengbin, holds 10% of the shares, while the other four shareholders each hold shares.
That's right, they came here to force him out. Li Yixing smoked a cigar, and the conference room was filled with smoke.
"President Li, this shareholders' meeting will surely oust that little girl, and Yichen Group will be yours from now on," a small shareholder said obsequiously.
"Yes, Mr. Li, congratulations in advance."
A group of people were flattering him, and Li Yixing, who was smoking a cigar, became even more smug.
He laughed heartily: "Don't worry, everyone. Once I become the boss of the company, you will all be veterans, and I will not treat you unfairly."
"Of course, President Li will not treat us unfairly. We are willing to work for President Li."
"Haha, everyone believes in President Li. This little girl will definitely have to step down today."
"Hmph, where does she get the confidence to fight with President Li?"
The group immediately showered him with flattery, and Li Yixing looked particularly smug. He turned to Wang Chengbin and said, "President Wang, we're counting on you today."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, that little brat is easy to deal with." Wang Chengbin chuckled, "As long as Mr. Li keeps his promise, that's fine."
"Don't worry, as long as I get rid of that little girl, you will be the company's vice president and the largest shareholder besides me."
"Then there's no problem." Wang Chengbin and Li Yixing chuckled.
"Mr. Li, it's already nine o'clock, why hasn't that girl arrived yet?" someone asked.
"She's not afraid to come, is she? Heh, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come, we'll just bypass her and kick her out." Li Yixing sneered, "Now that things have come to this, do you think she can still escape?"
Just then, the conference room door opened, and Yi Qingmeng and Ye Xingchen walked in.
She took off her sunglasses and put down the folder in her hand: "Sorry to keep you all waiting, let's begin."
