Ye Shikai sat at a café in the airport, watching from afar as the plane carrying Su Qingyu slowly ascended into the sky, flying towards Hong Kong. Upon returning home, Su Ziqing had only just gotten out of bed. She had been out all night with classmates, and when she returned home, it had irked Su Qingyu somewhat. Ye Shikai went directly to his room and changed into a suit; the training course was not yet finished, so he still had to attend classes. Yanjing University. “Tonight, there’s a charity auction dinner. Why don’t you accompany me?” Luo Shiqi shifted slightly to make room for Ye Shikai as she noticed his arrival. “Another charity auction dinner.” Ye Shikai’s face took on a somewhat unusual hue; he wasn’t too fond of these kinds of charity dinners. He remembered the last auction hosted by the Ji Family, where the old man on stage droned on and on, nearly putting Ye Shikai to sleep. “Ha ha, it’s not like the last one. This evening’s event will be more relaxed, and the auction items are just some trinkets,” Luo Shiqi chuckled lightly, perceiving Ye Shikai’s reluctance. “Moreover, some of the Ji Family’s senior executives will be attending this time. It’s a good opportunity for you to make some valuable contacts,” Luo Shiqi said with a sly smile. “So, it’s ‘the old drunkard’s ruse’ after all. It just so happens I want to probe into the Ji Family’s true state,” Ye Shikai remarked. Logically, if the Ji Family had used a fake bomb to intimidate Su Qingyu, then this must have been a decision made by one or several of the Ji Family’s high-ranking members. It’s very likely that these people would appear at tonight’s event. “You can disguise yourself as my secretary. I’ll pretend to engage in conversation with those members of the Ji Family and casually mention their partnership with the Wu Family. That way, you can gather information,” Luo Shiqi explained. “That would be excellent.” Ye Shikai nodded in agreement, then his expression suddenly changed as if he remembered something, “No, that won’t work. I’ve met Ji Feng before.” Ye Shikai recalled the chance encounter with Ji Feng during the Mothman case investigation. At the time, Ji Feng had mistaken him for an agent from the National Security Bureau. If Ye Shikai were to disguise himself as Luo Shiqi’s secretary today and be spotted by him, his cover would be blown. “That’s not a problem. Do you remember the conversation I had with Zhao Rou last time?” Luo Shiqi smiled charmingly. “Listening behind the screen, right?” Ye Shikai immediately thought of the time he sat behind a folding screen, listening to a conversation between two women. “Smart. This time, I’ll try to ask them about some details of the Ji Family’s partnership with the Wu Family; it will definitely help you,” Luo Shiqi firmly stated. ... Two and a half hours later, Su Qingyu and her companions finally landed at Hong Kong Airport. Throughout the journey, Su Qingyu’s emotions were complex. On one hand, she was well-prepared for these negotiations, but on the other, the Wu Family’s stance remained unclear, compounded by the threat from that intimidator. These unknown factors loomed over Su Qingyu’s head like dark clouds. “Qingyu, are you alright? You look pale,” An Lan said with concern upon seeing Su Qingyu’s complexion. “It’s nothing. I just didn’t rest well last night. I’ll be fine after some rest at the hotel,” Su Qingyu shook her head. “Oh, Mr. Wu.” At that moment, An Lan spotted Wu Yu outside the airport. According to arrangements, Wu Yu was due to personally greet Su Qingyu and her entourage. Upon seeing their arrival, he hastened to welcome them, followed by four bodyguards. “Miss Su, Miss An, you’ve finally arrived,” Wu Yu greeted them enthusiastically, and quickly had the bodyguards help with the luggage. “I’ve prepared cars for you; please follow me this way,” Wu Yu beckoned, leading everyone away from the airport. Su Qingyu’s entourage was over twenty large, and Wu Yu, being generous, had arranged six business vehicles, each with a driver and bodyguards. “Miss Su, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” Wu Yu, Su Qingyu, and An Lan got into a car together. Previously, he had eagerly anticipated forming a partnership with Tianya Group. After waiting more than ten days, Su Qingyu had finally arrived. “Mr. Wu, you flatter me. The preparation of negotiation materials delayed our schedule,” Su Qingyu said with a slight apology. “It’s fine. Miss Su is indeed a leading figure in Yanjing’s business community. I trust your capabilities and your company’s strength,” Wu Yu said excitedly. “Thank you for your confidence, Mr. Wu. Let’s head to the hotel first to settle in,” Su Qingyu stated calmly. “Alright, driver, to Hill Hotel,” Wu Yu patted the driver’s shoulder before turning and saying, “Miss Su, I’ve already arranged rooms. Let’s set off now.” The driver acknowledged Wu Yu’s command with a gentle response and set off. “Miss Su, now that you have arrived in Hong Kong, let me share some insider information with you,” Wu Yu started speaking, and Su Qingyu instantly perked up, listening intently. “For the Wu Family to seek a business partner in Yanjing—it was my father’s directive. My brother and I have disagreed on the choice. I chose your company, while my brother opted for the Ji Family. However, the final decision is still in my father’s hands. Therefore, I hope Miss Su can do your best at the negotiation table to persuade my father,” Wu Yu explained. Su Qingyu had already mentally prepared herself for this competition with the Ji Family and had done her due diligence. “I understand, Mr. Wu, don’t worry. I’m confident about these negotiations,” Su Qingyu revealed a slight smile which provided a measure of reassurance to Wu Yu. “That’s wonderful to hear; I’ll await the good news,” Wu Yu said with a smile. As the second son of the Wu Family, and Wu Zijian being his older brother, by the tradition of the Sect System, Wu Zijian was the heir to the Wu Family. Despite Wu Yu being recognized as a business prodigy in Hong Kong, whether in terms of momentum or capability, Wu Zijian was slightly superior, with several family elders also showing him more favoritism. In a way, Wu Yu and Su Qingyu were in similar predicaments. In Yanjing, though Su Qingyu was acknowledged as a business queen, Tianya Group was at a disadvantage compared to the Ji Family in terms of financial resources, assets, and connections. Suddenly, the car came to an abrupt halt, prompting the following vehicles to stop as well. Curious, Su Qingyu looked out the window, “Mr. Wu, what’s happening?” “Driver, what’s going on up ahead?” Wu Yu also showed some displeasure as he questioned the driver. “Mr. Wu, ahead... there’s a street brawl.”
