30: Chapter 30 Stay Away from Her 30: Chapter 30 Stay Away from Her Ye Shikai left New City Group and hailed a taxi back to his company. He was very curious about why Luo Shiqi was so kind to him, directly issuing a 20 million yuan check. They barely knew each other and couldn’t even be considered acquaintances. Moreover, she gave him a mysterious vibe. Although he successfully reclaimed the debt, Ye Shikai found himself faced with a new dilemma: if An Lan asked where the extra 10 million came from, how should he answer? Even if he converted it into cash, it wasn’t plausible to hand over 10 million in cash to An Lan. After much deliberation, Ye Shikai decided to first consult with Su Qingyu. After all, he didn’t understand Luo Shiqi well and didn’t know what she was up to. Offering such generous help without a reason, she must be hiding something. Besides, if he just handed the check to An Lan, and Su Qingyu found out about the unexplained 10 million from Luo Shiqi, misunderstandings could arise. He might as well go directly to her and be upfront; being innocent, he wasn’t afraid of his shadow bending. Besides, since Luo Shiqi was the hidden boss behind New City Group, Su Qingyu, who had been familiar with the business circle for many years, might know something about her, and he could use this opportunity to gather some intel. Returning to the company, Ye Shikai didn’t first report to the public relations department, but instead went straight to the top floor to find Su Qingyu. When he stepped out of the elevator, he saw an attractive figure with willowy eyebrows and a slim waist – it was Su Qingyu’s secretary, Zhuang Yan. “Miss Zhuang, hello there.” Ye Shikai approached her, his habit of flirting with beautiful women seemed impossible to restrain. However, Zhuang Yan was also a beauty and had many male colleagues confess to her. Still, he didn’t dare to flirt too outrageously, considering it wasn’t appropriate—especially right under his own wife’s nose and, it felt somewhat guilty to toy with his wife’s secretary. Zhuang Yan slowly looked up and saw Ye Shikai approaching, feeling a bit confused. Generally, those who make it to the top floor are either company executives or department heads. Ye Shikai was an ordinary employee, so why did he frequently need to visit the president’s office? “I have some matters to discuss with the president; could you please inform her?” Ye Shikai said casually, as if he was familiar with everyone. Although Zhuang Yan didn’t know exactly who Ye Shikai was, she still informed Su Qingyu. Within half a minute, Zhuang Yan received a reply and, with a bit of shock, said, “The president asked you to come in.” Ye Shikai had just started walking forward when Zhuang Yan stopped him. With a puzzled face, she asked, “Ye Shikai, what is your relationship with the president, that she would let you in? She’s usually very busy and only meets with top company officials. Ordinary employees wouldn’t dare to come up here.” Ye Shikai chuckled to himself; she was his own wife, of course, he could enter whenever he wished. With a smile, he said, “Miss Zhuang, let me tell you a secret; the president is actually my wife.” “Impossible, are you treating me like a fool? The president is a known beauty in the company, and many influential young men have been courting her. When did you ever hear that she married?” Suddenly, Zhuang Yan grabbed Ye Shikai’s arm, leaned close, and whispered into his ear, “This kind of joke you shouldn’t make usually; you’d be in big trouble if the president or anyone else overheard.” Watching Zhuang Yan being so cautious, Ye Shikai burst out laughing, but his heart felt warm. In this society driven by desires, having someone genuinely care about others was indeed rare. “Don’t worry, I am just a distant relative of the president, coming here to pull some strings for a job.” Knowing that Su Qingyu didn’t want the public to know about their relationship, Ye Shikai just made up an excuse. After hearing this, Zhuang Yan didn’t say much else, only reminding Ye Shikai that even though he was a distant relative of the president, he shouldn’t be too casual. Ye Shikai sighed internally; it seems the renowned ‘Iceberg President’ was not so-called for nothing. Entering the office, Ye Shikai saw Su Ziqing, buried in work, her face showing slight signs of weariness. His heart ached; it seemed the company was indeed facing some serious trouble. “Is there something you need?” Su Qingyu looked up and asked coldly. “Today, Mr. An asked me to collect a debt from New City Group...” “You didn’t get it back, did you?” Su Qingyu interrupted him before he could finish. She knew it was difficult to reclaim that money. Ye Shikai coming here was probably just to find an excuse. “No, I’m coming back, and I’ve also gotten an extra ten million,” Ye Shikai waved the check in his hand. “What, let me see.” Su Qingyu grabbed the check, looked it over, and her face was full of disbelief—there really was twenty million, not just an empty promise. Ye Shikai told Su Qingyu everything about what had happened within New City Group, including what Luo Shiqi had said. After a few minutes, Su Qingyu’s expression grew more and more serious, her brows furrowed, feeling very puzzled as to why Luo Shiqi would give Ye Shikai ten million for no reason, what was her relationship with Ye Shikai, and what were Luo Shiqi’s intentions. All these questions were floating in her mind. “Qingyu, who exactly is Luo Shiqi and why did she give me ten million?” Ye Shikai, seeing Su Qingyu’s somber face, couldn’t help but ask curiously. “I don’t know what her intentions are either, but let me tell you, stay away from her; she’s not as simple as you think,” Su Qingyu finally spoke after a few seconds of silence. “Does she have a big background?” “She controls several listed companies, and I heard from my father that she also controls the entire underworld of Yanjing.” Ye Shikai was shocked; he had never expected Luo Shiqi to not only have legitimate businesses, but also to be the big boss of the entire underworld in Yanjing, which is the capital of Huaxia. She had actually unified the entire underworld.” “It is said that she is ruthless in her dealings. You must avoid any contact with her in the future,” Su Qingyu added, not believing that Luo Shiqi would be friends with Ye Shikai as there seemed to be no overlap between them, nor any reason for her to randomly give money to Ye Shikai. “I understand, but this ten million... can I...” “According to the company’s policy, you are entitled to a commission of fifty thousand yuan,” Su Qingyu interrupted again. “But that was given to me by her...” “Ye Shikai, do you understand who Luo Shiqi is? You said you don’t know her, so why would she give you money? Is it because you’re handsome and she wants to sugar daddy you?” Su Qingyu slammed her hand on the table and shouted. “Moreover, legally I’m still your wife now, shouldn’t you explain your relationship with her to me?” “I really have nothing to do with her; all the money is yours, after all, a husband earns money to spend on his wife,” Ye Shikai quickly handed the check over, exchanged a few words with Su Qingyu, and then went downstairs to report to An Lan. In the office, Su Qingyu held the check, feeling somewhat lost, pondering over the reason Luo Shiqi gave the money—could it be that she knew about her marriage to Ye Shikai and wanted to use Ye Shikai to take over Tianya Group?
