Chapter 267: Chapter 267: The Young Couple Teasing and Quarreling
Zhang Ruoyu’s face was shimmering with tears, and when she saw the figure outside the door, she froze completely.
The stunning figure standing there was none other than Lin Bingqing.
Her gaze began to search, to search for that man’s shadow, knowing that if Lin Bingqing had arrived, he would definitely appear.
And sure enough, it wasn’t long before Ye Ming’s figure appeared beside Lin Bingqing.
He strolled over leisurely and said to Lin Bingqing, "Bingqing, you haven’t made a move in a long time, these two will be perfect for you to practice on."
Lin Bingqing nodded, "Yes, Master!"
Hearing this strange conversation between the master and disciple, Huang Mao showed a disdainful expression, "Who are you two? Coming into my house and spouting nonsense, you’re simply asking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Mao and the skinny man immediately made their move, rushing towards Lin Bingqing.
As a Ninth Rank Martial Artist, Lin Bingqing might not be as strong as Ye Ming, but dealing with ordinary people was no challenge for her at all.
With just two thuds, the two men were knocked to the ground and fainted due to Lin Bingqing’s blows.
Zhang Ruoyu watched everything in front of her with eyes wide and speechless, forgetting to wipe away the tears that still clung to her face.
She saw the man she had thought of day and night, the man she had come to loathe completely.
It was because of him that she had fallen into such a state; her family’s entire wealth was gone, her noble status was gone, and she had nearly lost her chastity as well.
However, when she saw Ye Ming again, all those thoughts in her heart vanished, and instead, she felt like thanking him.
It was only after these experiences that Zhang Ruoyu truly understood what the fickleness of human relationships meant.
If not for this experience, there were some things, some truths, that Zhang Ruoyu might never have understood in her lifetime.
She gave Ye Ming a glare and asked, "What are you doing here? Did you come to mock me?"
Her heart harbored a strange feeling; she could never have imagined that in her most desperate moment, she would be rescued by Ye Ming.
Ye Ming felt a twinge of heartache.
Looking at the girl who once shone with beauty, now reduced to this state, Ye Ming felt a sense of guilt.
"Miss Zhang, don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to mock you."
Ye Ming said after a long silence.
At that moment, Zhang Ruoxue hurriedly stepped in front of Zhang Ruoyu, shielding her protectively, and said solemnly, "Ye Ming, don’t think about possessing my sister. Even though we’re down on our luck now, we won’t submit to you."
Ye Ming let out a wry smile. It seemed that Zhang Ruoxue had classified him as a lecherous man just like Huang Mao.
He said, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to take advantage of the situation."
"With my abilities, if I had wanted to, I absolutely wouldn’t have waited until now."
Zhang Ruoyu asked, "Then what are you really here for?"
"I need a favor from you," Ye Ming said earnestly.
Zhang Ruoyu furrowed her brows, her expression one of confusion. At this point, with her reduced to such straits, completely devoid of any worth, how could she be of any help?
Ye Ming spoke unhurriedly, "The Zhang Family has a vast array of businesses, and is involved in a wide range of industries. I need someone who is very familiar with the Zhang Family’s industries to help me manage things. Otherwise, it’s truly headache-inducing for me, so I think you should be able to do it."
Zhang Ruoyu’s eyes widened in stunned disbelief.
Ye Ming continued to speak, "I have no other demands, just that you don’t stab me in the back or set me up."
"However, these businesses are still mine, and have nothing to do with you, you’re just helping me manage them temporarily, not returning them to you. If you mind, I’ll find someone else or just sell off these assets."
Originally, it was expected that Zhang Ruoyu would need some time to consider, but after enduring this ordeal, she had already lost her reserve.
Upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, she hurriedly grabbed his hand, her gaze burning intensely as she stared at Ye Ming and said, "I don’t mind!"
"I definitely won’t betray you, I’ll take good care of your business."
This was her one and only chance, even if it was somewhat embarrassing, she didn’t mind at all, not a day went by when she didn’t want to escape her current life.
It was Ye Ming who had given her hope once again.
By now, she had lost her previous self-righteousness, the arrogant air about her had vanished, and she had become much more genuine.
...
At Zhang Corporation, the lobby was bustling with people.
All the senior leadership of Zhang Corporation were waiting there, eager for the appearance of the behind-the-scenes boss, and also ready to volunteer themselves for consideration.
Previously, it was Sun Miaomiao who directed them at work, but due to family reasons, Sun Miaomiao had to leave temporarily, and the control of the Zhang Corporation’s assets was left unattended.
Such a large group cannot be without a leader for a day, hence, these executives were eyeing that role, wanting to make a good impression when Ye Ming appeared.
If one could sit in the director’s position, it would be akin to controlling half of Ningjiang City’s economic lifeline.
Moreover, having worked for many years at Zhang Corporation, they were very familiar with its operations. With Zhang Lijun around before, they had no chance to climb up, but now, any one of them might take over this big business.
Therefore, they were quite excited.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a black Bentley slowly approached and stopped in front of the company building.
Ye Ming’s figure emerged, stepping out of the car.
Several executives were about to approach to greet him when the car door on the other side opened, and a heavenly beautiful woman alighted, stunning the crowd.
Zhang Ruoyu!
She had traded her beggar attire for professional clothing.
She had never dressed like this before, always opting for whatever was comfortable, but today at first sight, the crowd was greatly shocked, exclaiming in admiration, no wonder she was hailed as the most beautiful woman in Ningjiang City.
Following her was Zhang Ruoxue, her outfit less formal, looking more like a secretary, closely following her sister.
The appearance of the two sisters immediately sparked speculation among the crowd. Wasn’t the Zhang family already gone? How could these two sisters appear here?
Ye Ming, escorting the two women into the lobby, stated indifferently, "Starting today, Miss Zhang Ruoyu will take on the position of General Manager. Do any of you have objections?"
The executives shrank their heads, none daring to utter a word of dissent.
These assets were originally of the Zhang family, and besides, who would dare to disobey Ye Ming’s words? Wasn’t that tantamount to seeking death?
Even Long Zaitian, the number one warrior of Ningjiang City, was not his match. Who would have the courage to oppose him?
However, everyone was puzzled by the sight of Zhang Ruoyu standing by Ye Ming’s side, appearing docile and compliant.
Zhang Ruoyu’s temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change. Could it be that the two of them had already resolved their differences? Could the highly publicized disputes they had before be nothing more than minor spats between husband and wife?
