Chapter 135: The Eldest Young Master’s Own Business

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation    Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Being favored by President Chi is our honor, and naturally, I cannot refuse. However…” Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment and still asked the following question, “Your investment in the Shen family’s project, President Chi, is it solely for profit, out of pity, or for some other reason? In fact…”

Chen Jiang was slightly surprised, not expecting Shen Qingyue to ask such a question. Just as he did not know how to respond, a familiar male voice came from outside the door.

“Of course, it’s for profit.”

Shen Qingyue turned to look and indeed saw Chi Ming.

He walked up to her and looked down at her, saying, “I appear here, and you don’t seem surprised at all.”

Shen Qingyue had an indifferent expression on her face. “What’s there to be surprised about? Young Master Chi doesn’t like the family business and has started his own venture. What’s there to be surprised about?” She had suspected that Chi Ming was venturing out on his own, and now that it was confirmed, there was no need to be too surprised.

She put on a serious look and asked again, “Why did you invest in this project? I believe we have a personal relationship, but the way you’re handling this might not sit well with the board of directors, right?” If it was her project, regardless of the returns, Chi Ming would invest the full amount. Even if it wasn’t Chi’s family’s project, it would still be Chi Ming’s. His indifference raised some questions about how she should reciprocate. Or rather, she couldn’t reciprocate…

“I’ve already answered this question earlier,” Chi Ming replied calmly. “Businessmen seek profit, and I’ve simply seen the potential for high returns in this project, just like any other business endeavor. Project Suburb One has value in my eyes.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue felt somewhat relieved. She already owed him enough, and she did not want to accept any more charity from him. Once the project was up and running, it would generate significant income, and if he took his share of the profits, she would not owe him anything.

After an hour of discussion, they temporarily settled some basic matters, with the details to be worked out in a contract later.

Chi Ming and Chen Jiang prepared to leave, and Shen Qingyue went downstairs to see them off.

As they reached the parking lot, Chen Jiang noticed that their car’s tire was flat, and after examining it for a while, he looked quite embarrassed. “President Chi, our tire is flat. It seems like it’s been punctured.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Ming’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Contact Zhang Jianci and have him drive over.”

Chen Jiang nodded and took out his phone.

Shen Qingyue, out of politeness, said, “I’m also getting off work. How about I give you a ride back?”

She was just being polite, but she did not expect Chi Ming to actually agree,

“That would be great.”

Shen Qingyue thought to herself, looking at Chi Ming’s smiling eyes, that he was doing it on purpose. Ignoring her a few days ago and acting like this today… She could only respond, “No trouble at all.”

Chen Jiang courteously opened the back door of the car to make room for their boss.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

Chi Ming did not immediately get out of the car, “Want to come up and sit for a while?”

Shen Qingyue was about to decline, but Chi Ming continued, “I bought some new candies from Country A. It’s the one you said was delicious last time.

They’ve come up with new flavors.”

The words of refusal on Shen Qingyue’s lips were swallowed back. How should she put it? If it weren’t for her being physically fine, she would really suspect if there was something addictive in those candies. They were indeed very delicious…

“No trouble at all.” Shen Qingyue followed Chi Ming upstairs and realized that Chen Jiang had already left. He was quite the efficient assistant…

Entering the room, Chi Ming handed her a few small bottles filled with colorful candies, “These are all newly produced.”

“Thank you.” Shen Qingyue could not wait and immediately ate one. It was sweet and fragrant, as if it had cured all the fatigue of the day. She put the remaining candies in her bag and was about to take her leave.

Chi Ming added, “How about having dinner together? I’m hungry.”

Shen Qingyue found it hard to refuse, took some of his imported candies, and agreed. In fact, one of the reasons was that she was genuinely craving Chi Ming’s culinary skills, which could rival those of a restaurant chef.

After dinner, it was already completely dark outside. She did not let Chi Ming drive her and went downstairs alone. While walking, she couldn’t resist eating another piece of candy. Just as she was enjoying the sweetness, she looked up and saw several bodyguards standing next to her car, with a wheelchair in the middle.

Instantly, the sweetness in her mouth turned bitter.

Frowning, Shen Qingyue walked over, “President Qin, what is this supposed to be? Are you a stalker? I can call the police! Stay away from my car….”
