"Xiaohan, this isn't right..."
Tong Dezhi, the ringleader, finally realized that they seemed to have dug a huge pit and, incidentally, buried themselves in it as well.
Yan Shao slammed his hands on the armrests and stood up abruptly. "Alright, since things have been resolved as you wished, I'm going home!"
As he spoke, he strode off toward the door with his long legs.
"Hey, hey, Xiao Han, wait a minute!"
The ministers who had just pulled Yan Shao into the room stepped forward again and grabbed his arms.
"Uncles, is there anything else?" Young Master Yan stopped and raised an eyebrow at them.
"Xiao Han, this isn't right. We've always shared the profits together from all the money shops in the North and South of the city, haven't we? Why are we splitting it up now?"
Yan Shao chuckled twice. "Uncle Zhi, I own 80% of the shares in the money shop, and you all together own 20%. The number of money shops on both the north and south sides of the city is equal. Now that you have taken over the north side, it's equivalent to you owning 50% of the shares. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who's at a disadvantage."
Yan Shao raised his hand, pressed his long fingers against his earlobe, glanced at the old faces in front of him that were as red as pig liver, and said slowly.
"Besides, I remember you just said that Ke Kai is an outsider and you can't trust him, but I can trust him. So, I'll just accept the loss as a way of showing respect to the elderly."
After saying this, Young Master Yan lightly shook his hand, easily shaking off the old men.
"Ah Chen, let's go! I've been busy since six in the morning, are you trying to kill me with work? The Yan family and the Tong family only have me as their heir!"
Yan Shao yawned as he was escorted out the gate by his driver and Ke Kai.
Several senior officials were left standing in the hall, looking at each other in bewilderment!
As soon as he got into the car, Ke Kai burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.
"Sir, that move of yours is brilliant!"
Yan Shao leaned back in his chair, squinted slightly, and said calmly.
"Since they want to split up, I'll let them! I guarantee they'll be begging me for forgiveness in less than six months!"
Ke Kai laughed for a long time, clutching his stomach. When he finally stopped, he said with a smile, "Six months? I bet they can't even stand it for three months!"
Young Master Yan snorted coldly, "Then let them cry for a year!"
Ke Kai burst out laughing again, "Sir, are you suggesting they flood the entire Tongjia Village?"
"In ancient times, Meng Jiangnu cried so much that the Great Wall collapsed; now, the Tong family cried so much that the Tong family village was flooded... Hahaha..." Ke Kai laughed more and more as he spoke, as if someone had tickled his funny bone, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Yan Shao was in a good mood, so he didn't care at all about Ke Kai's insolence.
When Ke Kai finally stopped, he remembered another very important thing.
"Sir, is the fifth young lady of the Zhu family my future boss's wife?"
Yan Shao's relationship with Zhu Qianying was exposed because of Zhu Junzhao, but apart from that statement, Yan Shao has never publicly acknowledged his relationship with Zhu Qianying.
As for Ke Kai's information, it was naturally impossible for him to be as well-informed and quick as Qin Xiu, his personal all-around assistant.
"Hmm..." Young Master Yan didn't deny it, but then he noticed something amiss. "What's wrong? Did the Zhu family take out a loan from the bank?"
Ke Kai was taken aback. Sure enough, his master was amazing; he had guessed it before he even said it.
"Yes, I received a loan application from Mingxuan Group yesterday."
After taking over the money shop, Ke Kai established a joint lending institution. This institution targets large, medium and small enterprises. Of course, the interest rate is slightly higher than that of bank loans, but it is still within the legal range of the country.
"Rejected!" Young Master Yan gave him his answer without even thinking.
Ke Kai was slightly surprised, "But, isn't Fifth Miss..."
Clearly, he was unaware of the recent conflict between his master and Zhu Zhizhou. He only thought that his master's statement was merely an attempt to prevent the Zhu family from taking advantage of him.
However, public matters are public and private matters are private. When Mingxuan Group applied for a loan from a lending institution under the Tong family, the institution did not intend to offer any preferential treatment. Based on their loan amount, the monthly interest was not a small amount. In fact, the institution could make a lot of money.
Yan Shao waved his hand to interrupt him, "She is herself, and has nothing to do with the Zhu family."
Ke Kai didn't understand what he meant. "But this loan isn't without potential for profit!"
Yan Shao, who had been lazily lounging in his chair, straightened up and looked at him after hearing what he said.
"Have you assessed their collateral?"
Ke Kai paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Not yet. I plan to start working on it tomorrow."
"No need for evaluation. This hotel is managed by a bunch of incompetent people and is utterly worthless. Just reject it!"
Ke Kai was stunned again!
To be honest, he had been following Young Master Yan for several years. To outsiders, Young Master Yan was arrogant and self-centered.
In reality, all of Yan Shao's decisions at work are very objective and precise. He simply has sharper judgment and execution than others, and he disdains explaining himself to others.
However, his evaluation of Mingxuan Group was clearly tinged with too much personal emotion!
"Sir, Mingxuan Group is actually quite strong. For now, it's just being held back by the newly acquired hotels. Once their funds recover, everything will be fine! After all, Mingxuan is a century-old brand, it won't collapse so easily."
Undeniably, there is some truth to what Ke Kai said.
But Yan Shao still showed no sign of backing down, and snorted coldly, "I have no interest in being their benefactor!"
Seeing that his master had made up his mind, Ke Kai didn't say anything more. "Okay, I understand!"
Afterwards, Yan Shao and Ke Kai visited several money exchanges before returning home close to midnight.
Yan Shao leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his eyes slightly closed, his head tilted back, letting his mind go blank.
Soothing and melodious music played in the bathroom, and the room was filled with steam.
In the past, he could easily relax in such an environment and atmosphere, and his mind would go completely blank.
But today, a clear, crisp voice kept echoing in his ears.
"Young Master Yan, I don't care! Anyway, I won the competition. No matter how dirty or ugly I am, I will not return it."
"That's right, you absolutely have to marry me!"
"Ha, yes, you're so handsome, of course I can't wait to marry you!"
"Ha, of course you're handsome! Ji Huan is still just a little kid!"
"Hmm, I've never done this before, but since you like it, I can give it a try."
Yan Shao slightly opened his eyes, and the water vapor in front of him gradually condensed into the shape of Zhu Qianying.
Whether angry or laughing, whether annoyed or resentful, his expressions were remarkably vivid, as if the girl were truly standing right in front of him!
"Phew..." Young Master Yan let out a long sigh, shook his head, and tried to shake off the image of that girl.
He was already exhausted from the day, and he didn't want to suffer from sleepless nights due to unsatisfied desires!
