Back at the villa, he found Yu Xian'er preparing dinner for him, while Qin Shiya stood quietly studying to the side.
Shuang'er, Chunyu, Xiayang, and Qiuye were busy washing clothes and tidying up the room.
"Young Master is back!" Yu Xian'er said happily when she saw Shen Lang. "Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon."
Shen Lang watched Yu Xian'er, dressed in ancient costume, bustling in the kitchen, and his heart fluttered slightly. Such a beautiful woman was playing the role of a virtuous wife, preparing three meals a day for him.
After spending a day together, Qin Shiya relaxed a bit and smiled slightly at Shen Lang, saying, "Hello, boss."
"Hmm." Shen Lang nodded, then sat on the sofa in the living room and picked up a magazine to flip through casually.
Shuang'er then picked up a cup of hot tea and walked over, squatting down slightly to place it on the tea table, saying, "Young master, have a cup of hot tea to sober up."
"How did you know I'd been drinking?" Shen Lang put down his magazine, his brow furrowing slightly. Shuang'er's actions made him feel like he was being watched.
Shuang'er smiled and explained, "Young master, it was Dongxue who told me to prepare some hangover tea for you in advance."
Shen Lang frowned slightly as he glanced at Dong Xue, who had just parked her car and entered the villa.
Seeing this, Dongxue hurriedly ran over and gently bent down, saying, "I'm sorry, young master. I was afraid you would feel unwell, so I asked Shuang'er to make you some tea in advance. I absolutely did not mean to spy on you."
The guards trained by the Yu family to protect Yu Xian'er were all exceptionally intelligent and perceptive. Dong Xue immediately understood Shen Lang's dissatisfaction.
Shen Lang rubbed his temples, realizing he was being too sensitive.
So he said to Dongxue, "It's alright, you can go and rest."
"Yes, young master." Dongxue stood up and withdrew.
"It seems I still need to get used to being served so meticulously," Shen Lang thought to himself.
He had a secretary when he worked at the Yas Hotel, but Liu Huimin canceled that after she arrived and transferred the secretary who had been with him for three and a half years to another position.
Shen Lang pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and dialed Xia Bingyan, who had been his secretary for three and a half years.
Xia Bingyan had just finished get off work and was sitting on the bus when she saw Shen Lang calling. She immediately answered, "President Shen."
Shen Lang asked with a smile, "Bingyan, how's work lately?"
The two had a very good personal relationship, and Xia Bingyan had feelings for Shen Lang. However, at that time, Shen Lang's career was on the rise, and he had no interest in dating.
"This isn't good. I'm thinking of quitting my job," Xia Bingyan complained. "That old hag Liu wants to transfer me to the public relations department, but I didn't agree. I'm considering whether to quit or not."
Xia Bingyan's image and temperament are outstanding among the many employees of Yas Hotel. Even the private butlers provided by the hotel for VIPs are slightly inferior to Xia Bingyan.
"Then would you like to consider doing something for me?" Shen Lang asked.
"Um...Mr. Shen, what can I do to help you?" Xia Bingyan asked cautiously.
Shen Lang said, "Be my personal secretary."
“No need to think about it. I’ll go with you.” Xia Bingyan immediately gave her response.
"Okay, pack your things tonight, and I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow," Shen Lang said.
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, the property management of Wangshanhe called Shen Lang and greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Shen, there is a man named Zhou Xianshan down the mountain who said that you sent him over. I'm calling to inquire with you."
“Yes, that’s right. You should bring him up here,” Shen Lang said.
"Okay, Mr. Shen, please wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang called Dong Xue and instructed her to bring Zhou Dashan to the reception room on the fifth floor to meet him.
He then went to the reception room on the fifth floor and played with his phone with his head down.
Soon, Dongxue led Zhou Xianshan in.
"Young master, the person has been brought here," Dongxue said respectfully.
"Hmm." Shen Lang didn't look up, he just responded with a soft "hmm."
When Dongxue left, she also closed the door to the living room.
Zhou Xianshan, standing at the door, felt somewhat awkward, as his disheveled appearance seemed out of place in the magnificent reception room.
After a minute of silence, Shen Lang put down his phone after losing the game and smiled at Zhou Xianshan, who was standing on the ground, saying, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"My name is Shen Lang, you can call me Boss Shen."
Zhou Xianshan bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Lang pointed to a mahogany chair and said, "President Zhou, please sit down. I invited you here today to discuss a business deal."
Zhou Xianshan asked somewhat nervously, "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Shen wants to discuss with me?"
Shen Lang leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said, "As far as I know, President Zhou misappropriated 30 million yuan from Eurasia Company. That 30 million yuan is now gone. President Zhou is eager to fill the gap. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianshan looked nervous. He didn't know how this young man had found out about his embezzlement. Only he and Wei Zhenzhen knew about it from beginning to end. But he still nodded and admitted, "Yes, Boss Shen."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "President Zhou, I'm an impatient person and I like to be straightforward."
"I am a businessman. I can offer you 30 million, but Mr. Zhou, you will have to pay a corresponding price. I wonder if you can accept that?"
Zhou Xianshan looked at Shen Lang warily and asked, "What does Mr. Shen want?"
He knew he had nothing now, except for his three-million-dollar Porsche sports car and his current house worth twelve million. But those were all marital assets, half of which belonged to his wife, Wei Zhenzhen.
He believed that Shen Lang wanted to steal the Eurasia Group's company secrets from him. Indeed, the secrets he possessed were worth hundreds of millions, but if they were exposed, he was prepared to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Even going to jail for embezzling funds is better than going to jail for leaking the company's core secrets.
Shen Lang seemed to see through Zhou Xianshan's thoughts and shook his head with a smile: "President Zhou, don't be nervous. I'm not interested in the secrets of the Eurasia Group. But I am quite interested in you."
These words left Zhou Xianshan completely bewildered; he didn't know what he had that was worth the other party's attention.
Shen Lang's next words struck Zhou Xianshan like a thunderbolt.
"I want your business acumen," Shen Lang said, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Xianshan.
"What?" Zhou Xianshan stood up abruptly upon hearing this. He didn't think Shen Lang was joking with him, nor did he think the other party was a lunatic.
The only reason is that the other party has methods that ordinary people cannot understand.
Shen Lang spread his hands and said, "President Zhou, don't be surprised. I am a merchant who trades everything. You can exchange anything you want with me. Of course, I can also buy anything from you, provided you agree."
