Chapter 44 Troubles
For a moment, both Pu Xia and Li Ke looked at Xie Sheng.
Giving up a huge fortune that was within easy reach is no simple matter, but he said he didn't want it and that was it.
Li Ke's brow twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "From an operational standpoint, it's feasible, but the process is somewhat complicated and involves considerable additional tax and fee expenses. Ms. Pu, what are your thoughts?"
"Attorney Li, could you give us some private time?"
"Please go ahead."
Seeing Li Ke push open the door and walk out, Pu Xia finally spoke, "Brother, you have to accept it."
"I don't want his things."
"What you're doing right now will require your father's resources."
Xie Sheng subconsciously reached for the cigarettes in his pocket, but realized he couldn't smoke indoors, so he just fiddled with the lighter, thinking, "It's not like I can't do it myself."
“But that would be exhausting. Do you remember the other day? You didn’t get much sleep,” Pu Xia said, interlocking her fingers with Xie Sheng’s. “I don’t want you to be so tired. Besides, whether it’s you or me accepting this, it’s all for our future, isn’t it?”
"Moreover, since we have resources, why not use them? Why take a detour?"
......
Xie Sheng was known as a tough guy with strong opinions since childhood, but he lost all of those traits when he met Pu Xia.
When Li Ke came in and sat down again, Xie Sheng was no longer as resistant as before.
His gaze swept between the two, keenly sensing the intriguing relationship between the brother and sister. But regardless, this was a matter between employers and employees, and adhering to professional ethics, he suppressed any unnecessary curiosity.
After giving them the keys, Li Ke said he would organize the documents in the next few days and then report to Bai County next week.
After he finished speaking, he very tactfully returned the time to the two of them.
After everyone left, Pu Xia opened the envelope. Inside, there was not only the key, but also an access card and a detailed address.
"Attorney Li is really thoughtful," Pu Xia praised with satisfaction.
However, she was hugged from behind by Xie Sheng as soon as she finished speaking. He lowered his voice and said in her ear with displeasure, "You are not allowed to praise other men in front of me."
These words were willful and straightforward, but they were indeed like what Xie Sheng said. Pu Xia found it quite novel. In the past, quite a few people had fought over her, but she didn't care.
But if it's Xie Sheng, it's really different.
She gently scratched Xie Sheng's hand. "Brother, are you jealous?"
Xie Sheng released her, his deep, almost piercing eyes fixed on her, and said softly, "What do you think?"
"It's just like a child whose candy has been taken away," Pu Xia thought to himself.
But she liked him like that. Although it wasn't quite right to describe a grown man like that, she couldn't find any other word besides "cute".
"Then I was wrong," Pu Xia coaxed softly, taking his hand and blinking her beautiful eyes gently, her long eyelashes fluttering twice. "Brother, let's go home first, and then you can settle the score with me slowly."
Actually, he wasn't really angry. Besides, someone like Pu Xia could easily let go of any anger he might have.
Xie Sheng closed his palm, gently squeezing her fingers, letting her lead him towards home.
...
It must be said that Pu Ming's carefully chosen location is indeed excellent. The large 300-square-meter apartment has a wide view from the living room, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, the green mountain shadows and the interplay of building lights, and the open-air balcony with superb scenery.
The house is decorated in a simple and modern style. He was probably the only one who stayed there before, so he didn't have much stuff, which gave Pu Xia a lot of room to put his things together.
She excitedly wandered around the house, carefully examining each room.
"I want to convert this into a walk-in closet."
"Let's turn this into a study. I like the view from this window... Brother, which room do you like? We can turn it into your office."
Xie Sheng, hands in his pockets, strolled slowly over to Pu Xia, who was fluttering around like a little bee. He put his arm around her and said lazily, "I only care where we sleep."
"The master bedroom? The master bedroom is here. Come with me, and we can see what style we want to decorate it in. What do you think of the Nordic style we saw last time?"
"..."
Well, his little girl is now completely obsessed with her new home.
Xie Sheng listened patiently as she described various styles: what color the walls should be, what material and texture the floors should have, how the furniture should be arranged, and what paintings should be hung on the walls.
To be honest, he couldn't understand a word, but because it was Pu Xia speaking, he felt he couldn't get enough of listening. He was infected by the excitement of building the future together and felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

About a week later, Li Ke really did come to report for duty as he had said.
When he parked his car, loaded with bags and suitcases, downstairs at Liucheng Nightfall, Xie Sheng finally got a little angry.
What are you doing?
Li Ke didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he looked around at Zhang Meng's rest room on the second floor of Nightfall, which Xie Sheng had made up as an office, and commented, "Mr. Xie, should I arrange an office for you? This place isn't quite right."
Xie Sheng narrowed his eyes. "What's your problem?"
"Putting aside the issue of space size, this place is also a bit cluttered as a meeting area. An office is another business card of a company. It is not only very important for receiving guests, but it can also enhance employees' sense of belonging to the company and their happiness, which can greatly improve efficiency and productivity."
"..."
Li Ke's serious monologue left Xie Sheng speechless. He opened the door with one hand and pushed the neatly dressed, out-of-place Li Ke out with the other, then slammed the door shut, locking him out.
Zhang Meng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, watched the scene and chuckled, "Where did this gentleman come from, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Sheng clicked his tongue in annoyance, took out a cigarette from his coat, lit it, took a puff, and didn't know how to answer.
He had agreed to accept what Pu Ming left behind, but when faced with it, he was more at a loss as to what to do.
For example, Pu Xia's assistant, whom he takes for granted, is someone he feels very uncomfortable with;
For example, he doesn't know how to handle the company's operation and expansion, capital investment, and business development that they can do on their own.
All he was familiar with were the relationship-building and territory-grabbing schemes he had planned with Zhang Meng, but these were probably considered petty and insignificant by them.
