Ye Xingchen smiled wryly. How could there be such a thing as forcibly giving away shares?
After filming wrapped, Ye Xingchen and Yun Ruoyan returned to the company together.
"President Yun, there are a few discrepancies in the purchasing department's data, and there are also some issues with these funding applications." Qin Yue walked over with several contracts and placed them on the table: "I hope you will carefully check them."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, President Qin." Yun Ruoyan smiled slightly.
"It's no trouble at all, it's my duty." Qin Yue glanced at Ye Xingchen to the side, still looking aloof. But as she passed by Ye Xingchen, he quickly reached out and gently patted her plump buttocks.
Sensitive Qin Yue blushed instantly, her heart pounding. She gritted her teeth and said, "President Ye, I have something to report to you. Are you available at this time?"
"Okay, let's go to your office. I'll listen to your report." Ye Xingchen smiled maliciously, emphasizing the word "report."
“President Ye, I’m planning to set up offline Xingchen Pharmacy stores. A flagship store will be opening in a few days. After President Qin finishes reporting on things, would you like to come with me?” Yun Ruoyan said.
"Okay, I'll come over after Qin Yue finishes her report." Ye Xingchen blocked Qin Yue's way, one hand already sliding inside her suit jacket, gently pinching her sensitive spot, almost making Qin Yue groan.
She forced herself to remain calm as she left the office, and as soon as she got there, she locked the door behind her and suddenly hugged Ye Xingchen and kissed him.
As soon as Ye Xingchen left, Yun Ruoyan's smile vanished, and she picked up the contract on the table to read it.
"President Yun, these are special funds. Qin Yue deliberately refused to approve them. Is she holding us hostage because she wants something in return?" Yun Ruoyan's assistant, Xiao Wei, walked in.
Xiao Wei is Yun Ruoyan's capable assistant and confidante, and has been with her for many years.
“She’s not after any benefits, but the reasons given for these special funds are really weak. Go back and draft a new report.” Yun Ruoyan closed the contract.
"I have a feeling... Qin Yue and President Ye have a special relationship?" Xiao Wei asked.
"Focus on your work and stop gossiping," Yun Ruoyan glanced at her.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yun." Xiao Wei blurted out in her emotions.
"Qin Yue is President Ye's person. Her position in charge of the finance department is itself a check on me." Yun Ruoyan smiled lightly. "If I hold the reins of the company and there's no one to check me, what role does President Ye play in this company?"
"But Ye always trusts you a lot," Xiao Wei said, somewhat puzzled.
"It's a sign of trust, but there must be some constraints. If I were to dominate the company, it might not be a good thing," Yun Ruoyan said with a smile.
An hour later, Ye Xingchen and Yun Ruoyan went to the Xingchen Pharmacy, which was under renovation.
This is Xingchen Group's first offline pharmacy, which mainly sells Xingchen Group's traditional Chinese medicines. It is located in a large shopping mall.
"Why did you decide to start a direct offline store?" Ye Xingchen, who had just been "reported" on by Qin Yue, was refreshed.
"It's very simple. Eliminating middlemen and their profits reduces costs and benefits the people," Yun Ruoyan said. "Currently, Xingchen Group's dozen or so drugs are very popular in the market, especially the regular version of Soul-Locking Pill, which has orders booked until after the New Year."
"If Xingchen Pharmaceuticals operates offline stores across the country, it will greatly reduce costs."
"What you said seems to make sense," Ye Xingchen nodded thoughtfully.
At the entrance of Baiyi Department Store, a 200-square-meter shop on the first floor is already under renovation.
"This mall has good foot traffic, and this location is prime; you can see the store as soon as you enter." Yun Ruoyan and Ye Xingchen walked in together.
The site is under renovation, but it's only noon, so the construction workers aren't here.
The display stand and cabinets were already in place, and the two of them stepped into the warehouse at the back.
"Indeed, I've discovered you're a true business genius. Even if you weren't in this industry, you could easily make a fortune in any business you did." Ye Xingchen nodded.
The location is indeed excellent, and she also has her own unique ideas for the interior design.
“President Ye, I only realized after following you that there is a whole new world in the pharmaceutical industry.” Yun Ruoyan said, “I believe that Xingchen Group will definitely become a commercial behemoth in the future.”
"Then I can't do without your support." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Suddenly, with a click, the warehouse door was locked.
Ye Xingchen turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed tightly. The warehouse had just been completed, and the surrounding area was completely sealed off.
Now that it's locked, the two of them will be confined to a small space, and why would the warehouse door be locked for no reason?
"Why is the door locked? Let me call." Yun Ruoyan quickly took out her phone, only to find to her astonishment that it had no signal at all.
At that moment, a faint cry for help came from outside, followed by a thick plume of smoke drifting in through the gaps in the warehouse, filling the small space with a pungent smell.
"It's on fire." Ye Xingchen's expression changed. This was deliberate, and he was the target.
"What should we do?" Yun Ruoyan tried to dial the fire department, but the signal was completely blocked.
Boom... A tongue of fire surged in, and a scorching wave of air swept over. Ye Xingchen quickly shielded Yun Ruoyan behind him and then pulled her into a bathroom inside the warehouse.
The indoor air was rapidly dissipating, and Yun Ruoyan had difficulty breathing. She sat down on the floor, gasping for breath.
Moreover, the fire outside had spread to the warehouse, and the burning building materials created huge plumes of smoke. Even if you weren't directly exposed to the fire, you would suffocate if you stayed there for just a few minutes.
"Don't worry." Ye Xingchen turned on the tap and soaked Yun Ruoyan's clothes.
She was wearing a white shirt, and her skin, which was partially visible after the clothes were wet, was quite alluring, but Ye Xingchen had no interest in appreciating it. He quickly wet his own clothes.
"Ye Xingchen..." Yun Ruoyan almost choked, grabbing Ye Xingchen tightly: "Are we... going to die here?"
"No, I'm here." Ye Xingchen comforted her, quickly poured water on himself, and then carried the unconscious Yun Ruoyan in his arms.
Yun Ruoyan suddenly hugged Ye Xingchen's neck and kissed him passionately.
Ye Xingchen froze. What was she doing at a time like this?
"I can't die, I've never even kissed a man." Yun Ruoyan hugged Ye Xingchen tightly.
Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. This usually capable and strong woman was actually thinking about her unfulfilled first kiss when faced with a life-or-death situation.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Ye Xingchen carried her on his back, then with a burst of energy, he shot out like a cannonball.
The fire in the shopping mall was very large and quickly spread to the third floor.
Firefighters have arrived at the scene, and people are being rescued one after another.
Ye Xingchen carried Yun Ruoyan out, both of them covered in dust and dirt. Seeing that Yun Ruoyan was unconscious due to suffocation, Ye Xingchen quickly took out gold needles and performed acupuncture on her.
