Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 959: Winning a Beauty's Smile


The Break Room at Blue Star Technology Company!

"Mr. Ye!"

As soon as Ye Xiao walked into the break room, Yang Liufei, who was already there, immediately walked up with a smile.

Ye Xiao looked at Yang Liufei and said, "Brother Yang, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Not at all, I just got here myself." Yang Liufei replied.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Then let's get straight to the point. You said you wanted to talk to me, so let's discuss what exactly we need to talk about."

Seeing Ye Xiao dive right into the topic, Yang Liufei quickly said, "I heard from Chairman He that your agreement with him is for the R&D team led by me to join Blue Star Technology Company and then work together with your R&D team at Blue Star Technology to get the project going?"

"That's correct!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Yang Liufei said, "But after all, this plan was made by the people at Blue Star Technology. When the time comes, what if there are discrepancies in the content? Moreover, we are required to produce the work before the end of the year, which might be a bit rushed, and we also have projects in hand that we've poured our efforts into."

"That's simple, it will be led by you, Yang Liufei." Ye Xiao smiled and said.

"I'm afraid that's not something you can decide on your own." Yang Liufei said, "Also, what about the future office space? Will it be at our company or at Blue Star Company? You know, game development work requires absolute quiet."

"Of course, I will ensure the company provides you with the best equipment and environment. However, regarding the project you mentioned earlier, I can only say that it must prioritize Blue Star Company's project. Brother Yang, frankly speaking, I admire your abilities, but I also know that trying to recruit you to Blue Star Company is a pipe dream because you and He Huawei are brothers, and you're loyal. So, switching jobs is something you wouldn't do, but for this project, I hope you can dedicate yourself fully, shedding any discordant elements, and not think about He Huawei's matters. As for He Huawei, as long as he doesn't remain hostile to Blue Star Company, rest assured, I won't trouble him. I can even have him leave that dark place today." Ye Xiao said with a smile but spoke very seriously.

Yang Liufei looked at Ye Xiao, really feeling conflicted. As He Huawei's brother, he should prioritize loyalty, but as a game developer, he desperately wants to complete his project well. However, what Ye Xiao said to him now completely dispelled Yang Liufei's thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Liufei finally nodded and said, "I understand, when do we sign the contract?"

"What happens next is none of my business, someone from Blue Star Company will sign with your company. Haha, if you're not comfortable, you can wait until He Huawei comes here to sign the contract. Of course, I think Chairman He must have told you that there's no room for negotiation in the contract, oh, and I should let you know that the penalty for breach of contract is very high, so I remind you, read the contract very carefully, don't say I didn't warn you." Ye Xiao said.

Yang Liufei was really a bit confused about what kind of person Ye Xiao was. If he were a bad guy, this fellow would tell you all the disadvantages, fearing that you wouldn't know. Thinking it over, Yang Liufei just felt that Ye Xiao wasn't a good person, but he wasn't hypocritical.

While the two of them were talking, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing passed by the break room but didn't stop and left.

"We've discussed all the work we need to." Ye Xiao said to Yang Liufei with a smile, "You might think I'm a bad guy, but it's okay, I don't care how others see me. I only need to ensure that people don't harm me and my friends, as for the rest, it's not something I need to consider. You can go see He Huawei now and tell him about the contract, and preferably about our conversation as well."

Yang Liufei said, "The detention center doesn't allow anyone to see He Huawei."

Ye Xiao said, "Haha, trust me, as long as you go and give your name, you will definitely see He Huawei."

With that, Ye Xiao turned and left the break room, leaving a somewhat dazed Yang Liufei behind.

Yang Liufei was really curious about Ye Xiao. He really didn't know what kind of person Ye Xiao was, or rather, what his background was.

To be able to influence the Guard Bureau, knowing that even someone like He Yougen couldn't meet He Huawei, shows how difficult it was to see He Huawei. Yet Ye Xiao casually told Yang Liufei that just giving his name would allow him to see He Huawei. Doesn't that show that Ye Xiao is no ordinary person?

After leaving the break room, Ye Xiao took the elevator directly down.

When he got downstairs, Ye Xiao took out his phone to make a call. Originally, he thought about calling Li Zhi directly, but after some consideration, he called Feng Jiao instead, making her the messenger between him and Li Zhi. Although Feng Jiao didn't know much about what Ye Xiao was up to, she was good at keeping his matters confidential. Plus, because Ye Xiao could connect her with the top brass, this was evidently beneficial for Feng Jiao.

For Ye Xiao, the biggest thing right now is how to deal with this Jinling District Guard Bureau. This morning's street shootout was entirely orchestrated by Chen Jianguo and the deputy head of the Jinling District Guard Bureau. Ye Xiao's appearance made them quite displeased, and with some others aiding them, they wanted to get rid of Ye Xiao.

At least for now, Ye Xiao knows that some guys from the Jinling District Guard Bureau are connected to Liuyue. But how do they always know his whereabouts? This probably has something to do with the local families in Bird City.

This matter needs to be handled cautiously.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt that the Blood Blade being developed in Minghai City must be put into use sooner. Currently, Ye Xiao is in a situation where the enemy is in the dark while he's in the open, which is a significant disadvantage for him. Ye Xiao greatly dislikes this state.

Originally, Ye Xiao could have let the Seven-colored Lamp investigate, but earlier this morning, he already had Wang Luoxin lead the Seven-colored Lamp to stir up the underground forces of Bird City. If he had them do more tasks, it would be a bit too exhausting.

As a man, making his woman too overworked is definitely not the mark of a good man.

After leaving the Dongning Building, Ye Xiao immediately called Xia Mingyue, confirmed her location, and headed straight to a place called the Red Bean Restaurant.

Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were dining there. As he neared the Red Bean Restaurant, Ye Xiao saw two stunning beauties by the window and immediately walked over when he got inside.

He plopped down beside Xia Mingyue, looked at the table with tomato-braised beef brisket, fish-flavored pork, two vegetable dishes, and a fish head tofu soup, and said, "Who ordered this?"

Xia Mingyue seemed a bit uncomfortable seeing Ye Xiao sit next to her, knowing that the place was quite crowded. When she heard Ye Xiao's interrogative tone, she retorted, "I ordered it. You can change your seat if you don't want to eat it."

Ye Xiao immediately put on a smug smile and said, "Of course, I want to eat it. I was just curious who knew I like meat so much. Turns out, it's my dear wife Mingyue. To reward you, how about a kiss first?"

Hearing this, Xia Mingyue felt her head was about to explode. This guy was really getting ahead of himself. She wanted to get angry, but the place was crowded, and it was lunchtime in a bustling area. To avoid drawing more attention, Xia Mingyue lowered her voice, gritted her teeth, and said to Ye Xiao, "You better not call me that in public, or I'll fall out with you. We keep our promises, but you shouldn't push it."

Clearly, Xia Mingyue was at her wit's end. If she had any other options, she wouldn't waste her breath on Ye Xiao.

At this point, Fang Jing also hurriedly whispered to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, Mingyue is right. We have to keep our promises, but we also set some ground rules."

"Alright, alright, then I'll wait until we get back. A kiss now or later is all the same." Ye Xiao chuckled, casually picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of beef brisket into his mouth.

You should know, this was a freshly served dish, and the beef brisket was still hot. Ye Xiao stuffed the steaming beef brisket into his mouth, and immediately, his expression changed from the heat.

"Water, water!" Ye Xiao dared not speak loudly, fearing others would hear and laugh at him, so he whispered.

Xia Mingyue ignored him directly, while Fang Jing quickly handed him a glass of water, teasing, "Ye Xiao, can't you see the steam rising?"

"This is what happens when you talk nonsense!" Xia Mingyue said with a schadenfreude expression.

However, Ye Xiao's next words left both of them speechless.

Ye Xiao took a sip of water, his mouth no longer hurting, sighed, and said, "It's not easy being a man, especially one who likes to make his wife happy. If heaven gave me another chance, I'd still shove the scalding beef brisket in my mouth because it's worth it to see a beauty's smile."

Fang Jing was taken aback. Could it be that Ye Xiao burned his mouth on purpose, just to make them smile over such a trivial matter, even if it meant suffering a bit himself?

And Xia Mingyue, listening to Ye Xiao's words, was also a bit moved. However, being someone who's outwardly cold and inwardly warm, even if she felt touched, she restrained herself from expressing it, stubbornly saying, "Hmph, I bet you weren't burned badly enough. Why not go for another one, pick the hottest piece?"
