Chapter 165 Apology
In Chen Su's conference room on the top floor.
The two men who arrived on time looked at each other blankly.
An awkward, suffocating atmosphere filled the air. Yue Shaosheng, who had arrived early, tried several times to bring up the topic, but Chen Su dismissed him with a few words.
After repeating this three times, Yue Shaosheng knew that Chen Su was waiting for someone.
Although he didn't know what he had done to offend Chen Su, neither reason nor morality would make Chen Su resort to such petty tactics as ignoring him because of their past grievances.
Chen Su's time is far more valuable than Yue Shaosheng's.
In developed cities, the roads are incredibly congested at eight or nine in the morning.
An Jin, who was stuck in traffic, didn't care. Anyway, she didn't have to go to work. She turned on the air conditioning in her car and played on her phone, feeling quite content.
It was tough on the two men sitting in the office; they had to wait a full half hour for An Jin to arrive.
"The road was jammed, sorry I'm a little late."
An Jin, dressed in a professional suit and high heels, pushed open the glass door of the conference room, guided by her secretary.
"Please sit down."
With a smile in his eyes, Chen Su got up and pulled out an office chair for An Jin, then introduced An Jin to Yue Shao in a gentle tone.
"This is An Jin."
Yue Shaosheng stood up somewhat awkwardly. He remembered her; Chen Su had brought her with him to the auction yesterday.
"Hello, I am Yue Shaosheng."
An Jin looked at the two people who seemed out of sorts with suspicion. Yue Shaosheng had acted quite normally yesterday, so why did he suddenly become the subordinate when they met in private today?
Something's not right.
An Jin thought this in her heart, but didn't show it on her face at all.
She gave a fake yet enthusiastic smile: "Hello, Mr. Yue, you can also call me An'an."
Yue Shaosheng exclaimed in surprise, "An'an?!"
An Jin asked knowingly, "Yes, Mr. Yue knows me?"
Yue Shaosheng looked at Chen Su, who finally connected everything.
"certainly."
Knowing the reason, Yue Shaosheng felt relieved.
He smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Chen and An'an probably don't know much about my family situation."
An Jin smiled on the outside, but inwardly she was cursing. She had no interest in knowing about Yue Shaosheng's family situation.
However, judging from Yue Shaosheng's appearance, there must be some hidden story behind it.
Since we're already here, let's listen to what's on the agenda.
An Jin said, "I would like to hear the details."
The story begins many years ago, with Yue Shaosheng rambling on about his family's struggles and hardships.
It was quite amusing, so An Jin listened to Yue Shaosheng talk for half an hour, just like listening to a story, until she finally caught up with the main point.
“My sister has a mental illness, so I usually spoil her a lot. I thought that since she doesn’t go out every day and just plays games at home, there shouldn’t be any problems. Who knew that two months ago, she happened to meet An’an while she was playing games.”
Yue Shao said apologetically, "An'an, I'm really sorry."
An Jin: ......
"So just because of a game, your sister got so angry that she contacted you, and you hired marketing accounts and online trolls to smear me???"
Chen Su silently picked up his teacup and suddenly remembered that two months ago, rumors were circulating everywhere that the Yue family was going to enter the entertainment industry, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
Yue Shao said in a low, humble voice, "Sigh, it's all my fault, An'an. How about this? I'll make up for all the income you earned during your hiatus, and give you an extra five million. What do you think?"
"Five million? You think you can fob me off like a beggar?"
The more humble Yue Shaosheng was, the more arrogant An Jin became.
She realized that Chen Su must have some kind of leverage over Yue Shaosheng, otherwise he would never be so humble towards her now.
When An Jin entered the office, she immediately noticed the disdain in Yue Shaosheng's eyes.
"Do you know how much money I've lost these past few days? I earn three or four million a day from live streaming. Who do you think you are, with your five million?"
Before An Jin stopped broadcasting, she was at the peak of her career, sometimes earning six or seven million a day.
Yue Shaosheng doesn't watch live streams, and he doesn't know anything about the live streaming industry.
Hearing An Jin say that, he thought An Jin was making an outrageous demand.
"I'm really sorry, but how about I compensate you with 30 million?"
An Jin's monthly income last month was only a little over 20 million.
As soon as Yue Shaosheng announced his 30 million, An Jin immediately started making calculations in her mind.
She didn't reply to Yue Shaosheng directly, and Yue Shaosheng immediately understood An Jin's thoughts.
"How about this, Miss An? Forty million doesn't sound very good. I'll add some more for you, making it a total of forty-eight million in compensation. What do you think?"
The price of Yue Shaosheng's shares increased by 18 million in one go, which startled An Jin.
She glanced at Chen Su with a hint of fear.
Old man, just how much dirt have you got on them? It's almost half a small goal!
Chen Su smiled slightly: "I think it's a good idea."
It's just a contract for online trolls; getting this much compensation is about right.
Seeing that Chen Su had expressed his opinion, An Jin followed up by saying, "Alright then, let's forget about what happened before. Now, remember to have those online trolls and marketing accounts removed when you get back."
Yue Shaosheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much, Miss An."
After dealing with this matter, Yue Shaosheng got up and said he was leaving.
After Yue Shaosheng left, An Jin immediately asked Chen Su curiously, "Brother, what did you do to him behind his back? He was so humble today."
Chen Su patted An Jin's head and patiently explained, "I had someone get a copy of the contract he signed with the online trolls."
An Jin's eyes lit up and she said, "That's right, I forgot that hiring online trolls is illegal. His company is so big, if word got out that Yue Shaosheng is a lawbreaker, the stock would plummet."
Not only will the stock price fall, but shareholders will also have objections.
The patriarch of the Yue family is already fifty years old this year. Yue Shaosheng is the Yue family's successor, on whom everyone has placed their hopes. If news of his breaking the law were to break at this time, the Yue family would probably be thrown into turmoil again.
You should know that the Yue family also has a younger son who is currently a sophomore in college.
Having dealt with one of her worries, An Jin felt much lighter.
She obediently lay on the desk, letting Chen Su pat her head, and asked him playfully, "Brother, you've helped me so much, how should I thank you?"
Chen Su's thoughts were disturbed by An Jin's words, but he was not annoyed. He simply looked at An Jin gently.
"Stay by my side for a year, An'an."
An Jin blinked: "Sleep with me?"
Chen Su smiled and said, "If you want, you can."
"Then you've hit the jackpot, having such a young and beautiful girl like me by your side."
An Jin pretended to be unhappy.
However, feigned reluctance was just that—feigned. In just a few seconds, An Jin asked again, "Can I use your black card if I'm with you?"
Chen Su understood perfectly: "Alright, you can use it."
An Jin cheered, "Yay!"
"Then it's settled. I'm flying back tomorrow to move. Give me your address and I'll ship the stuff over directly."
Chen Su rubbed his temples: "Going back so soon?"
An Jin said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'll be back whenever Yue Shaosheng's apology arrives."
Chen Su chuckled and teased her, "You really won't let me get even the slightest advantage?"
An Jin got up and opened the meeting door, talking to Chen Su, who was sitting there, as lively as a happy puppy.
Of course!
