Chapter Index

    “What kind of business? Of course, it’s a loan with the bank.”

    Liu Rushuang coyly scolded him. Although Xu Shaochen had let her go, one of his hands was still being a little mischievous. Luckily, Liu Ruxu couldn’t see it because of the desk.

    She tried to get up from Xu Shaochen’s lap, but he wouldn’t allow it. So she had to continue sitting on his lap.

    “Is the company out of money?”

    Xu Shaochen asked. Nowadays, almost every company has loans from the bank. After all, if you don’t take a loan, it’s a missed opportunity.

    If a business doesn’t owe the bank billions, they might not even feel like they’re in the big leagues.

    “We have money, but recently the company has set its sights on a piece of land. The location of that land is very good, and we’re not the only company interested. You need sufficient funds to obtain it.”

    Liu Rushuang explained the situation to Xu Shaochen.

    Although Xu Shaochen had a big name, if he stepped in, those other companies might reconsider competing with Chen Yu.

    But doing so would appear too aggressive and would offend a lot of people.

    “You two sisters can continue talking. I’m curious to see how business discussions between sisters go.”

    Xu Shaochen said with a smile, the faint fragrance of Liu Rushuang’s hair making it hard to focus.

    The two women rolled their eyes at him simultaneously before continuing the discussion.

    Although they were biological sisters, each represented different interests, so their discussions were competitive, following proper business etiquette.

    Of course, while they adhered to business rules, they were still sisters and would be more lenient with each other compared to outside organizations.

    It took more than half an hour, but they finally settled on the funds and interest terms, finding a solution that satisfied both parties.

    “Whose land is it? I can go and negotiate for it. I don’t have anything else to do anyway.”

    Xu Shaochen asked.

    “It’s from Yunyang Group. Originally, the land was meant to be developed by their own company, but for some unknown reason, there are now rumors that it’s up for sale. So now, all the companies are getting restless.”

    As she spoke, Liu Rushuang handed a document to Xu Shaochen.

    Opening the document, Xu Shaochen saw that the young master of Yunyang Group had come to Jiangzhou to personally oversee this land deal.

    Yunyang Group had acquired this land many years ago but never developed it. Once it’s developed, the properties built there will surely sell like hotcakes.

    “I remember the chairman of Yunyang Group has the surname Yun. So why is this young master’s name Ye Yang?”

    Xu Shaochen asked without looking up.

    “Because this young master is the illegitimate son of Yunyang Group’s boss. He took his mother’s surname. He studied abroad for many years and only recently returned.”

    This time, Liu Ruxu, who had somehow positioned herself beside Xu Shaochen, chimed in.

    Xu Shaochen looked up at her: “I didn’t expect Sister Ruxu to be so gossipy. Why don’t you tell me more about this Young Master Ye?”

    “Young Master Ye is quite something, known for his arrogance and recklessness. Since returning to the country, he’s caused a lot of trouble. Coming to Jiangzhou is basically his family’s way of banishing him. Also, it’s said that the young director of Yunyang doesn’t think much of him.”

    As Liu Ruxu spoke, her delicate hand was already resting on Xu Shaochen’s shoulder.

    Liu Rushuang noticed this too, and although her expression changed slightly, she quickly returned to normal.

    She was well aware that Xu Shaochen and her sister had not ended their relationship, but they all kept their thoughts to themselves.

    Knowing is one thing, but seeing it is another. Watching her sister get so close to Xu Shaochen made her feel a little annoyed.

    After all, he is supposed to be my boyfriend!

    “This is getting interesting.”

    Xu Shaochen placed the document on the desk. Ye Yang’s position was quite awkward. After all, he was an illegitimate son.

    Moreover, the young director of Yunyang had a problem with him, and combined with Ye Yang’s own personality issues, his standing in the Yun family was predictably low.

    “By the way, I’ve heard that this Young Master Ye has a penchant for thrilling experiences. If you’re going to negotiate, you can start with that angle.”

    Liu Ruxu continued.

    Xu Shaochen shook his head: “No, I have a better opening to exploit.”

    Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxu both looked at him curiously.

    Xu Shaochen just gave a mysterious smile and didn’t elaborate.

    “Tch, mysterious as always.” Liu Rushuang pouted.

    Liu Ruxu winked at Xu Shaochen as she discreetly slipped him a room card. “I have some other business to attend to, so I’m leaving now.”

    Xu Shaochen watched Liu Ruxu’s swaying hips, momentarily lost in thought. Is she seriously this eager? She’s even booked a room already.

    “What are you staring at? She’s already gone. Keep looking, and your eyes will fall out.”

    Liu Rushuang twisted Xu Shaochen’s ear, visibly annoyed, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

    “I was just thinking.” Xu Shaochen explained.

    Liu Rushuang gave a cold laugh: “Oh, thinking about whether the elder sister is better, or the younger one more satisfying?”

    “Cough, cough! What nonsense are you talking about?” Xu Shaochen nearly choked. Knowing was one thing, but saying it out loud was really embarrassing.

    Liu Rushuang snorted: “Don’t think I don’t know you still have something going on with her. I’m well aware of your little secrets.”

    “I have some things to do, so I’ll head out now.” Xu Shaochen couldn’t stay any longer. It was getting too awkward.

    “Bastard.”

    Liu Rushuang looked at Xu Shaochen’s retreating back and cursed through gritted teeth.

    Xu Shaochen went to the hotel where Liu Ruxu had booked a room. The moment he entered the room, Liu Ruxu was all over him.

    “I thought you wouldn’t show up,” Liu Ruxu whispered into Xu Shaochen’s ear, her breath warm and fragrant.

    Xu Shaochen chuckled: “How could I not? If I don’t satisfy this little vixen, I probably won’t have peace for the next few days.”

    Xu Shaochen picked up Liu Ruxu and carried her into the room. The rest was left unsaid…

    Half an hour later, the room returned to silence.

    “You need to rein it in a bit. If you go too far, Rushuang might really snap.”

    Xu Shaochen held Liu Ruxu in his arms as he spoke.

    Liu Ruxu pouted, slightly jealous, “I just don’t like watching you two flaunt your relationship. I knew you first, after all.”

    “You didn’t use to get jealous,” Xu Shaochen said, tightening his embrace.

    Liu Ruxu replied petulantly, “That was then, this is now. Is it not allowed?”

    Xu Shaochen sighed helplessly. Being too handsome was such a burden.

    After sharing some more tender moments with Liu Ruxu, Xu Shaochen finally washed up and left the hotel.

    After leaving the hotel, Xu Shaochen called Ye Pengfei, asking him to arrange a meeting with Ye Yang for the evening.

    Xu Shaochen and Ye Yang didn’t have any direct connections, but since Ye Yang had arrived in Jiangzhou, it was likely that he would mingle with wealthy heirs like Ye Pengfei.

    So asking Ye Pengfei to help set up a meeting was definitely a good call.

    The rest of the afternoon, Xu Shaochen stayed at home, enjoying an unusually peaceful half-day without any distractions.
