The evening rush hour had already arrived, and even though the distance between Nightingale Group and Eastern Group wasn’t far, Ye Xuan still spent half an hour to finally get back to the underground parking lot of Eastern Group.

Ye Xuan had just gotten out of the car.

Thump thump thump!

The heavy and rhythmic sound of footsteps immediately came, and the burly Xiong Shan dashed in front of Ye Xuan.

"Reporting to boss, the task of returning to the Eastern Group within half an hour is completed!"

Xiong Shan stared at Ye Xuan with a serious look, saluting as he spoke.

Ye Xuan distastefully put some distance between himself and Xiong Shan, frowned and said, "Stinky kid, how many times have I told you? Don’t stand so close to me when there’s nothing going on!"

Ye Xuan particularly disliked standing together with Xiong Shan because the guy was over two meters tall, making Ye Xuan appear very short when they stood side by side.

"Hehe."

Xiong Shan didn’t care at all about Ye Xuan’s dislike.

That’s just how he was, whether you called him silly or open-hearted, no matter how Ye Xuan scolded or hit him, he wouldn’t be the least dissatisfied.

Because Xiong Shan knew very well that if it weren’t for Ye Xuan, he would have long died in that war-torn region.

He’s an orphan, bullied from a young age, and everything he has now, including his skills, were bestowed by Ye Xuan...

"Alright, alright." Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, "This is Yan Country, not a battlefield, stop these ceremonies in the future."

"Oh." Xiong Shan responded blankly.

"And." Ye Xuan continued: "Just now your sister-in-law complained about you, said you weren’t obedient. From now on, whatever your sister-in-law orders is my order, got it?"

Xiong Shan scratched his head in confusion: "Which sister-in-law?"

Ye Xuan glared: "You actually ask which sister-in-law? What? You want revenge on your sister-in-law for badmouthing you?"

Xiong Shan shook his head and said, "No, I just want to ask boss... whose orders am I supposed to follow?"

Ye Xuan felt a little awkward, but didn’t show it, he said sternly: "Of course all the sisters-in-law!"

"Oh, got it."

Xiong Shan nodded and started to think hard with his head down, how many wives does boss have, what do all his wives look like, he must remember clearly, can’t mistake anyone, otherwise the consequences will be severe!

And Ye Xuan looked at Xiong Shan’s appearance, found it amusing yet helpless, didn’t speak further to interrupt, and just lighted a cigarette, leaning back against the car door, waiting for Lin Tong and Su Yumo to show up.

Not long after.

Su Yumo arrived at the parking lot.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s familiar figure, a cheerful smile appeared on Su Yumo’s face as she hurriedly quickened her pace to run over: "Ye Xuan!"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile gently, this woman, she truly was unwavering towards him.

"Worked the whole day, tired out, right?" Ye Xuan asked with concern.

"Not tired!" Su Yumo shook her head, initially wanting to be affectionate with Ye Xuan, but seeing Liu Ying and Xiong Shan beside them, she stopped her intention.

Her skin was still quite thin.

But Liu Ying saw the scene and couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Yumo, if you want to hug him, just do it, everyone knows your relationship."

"No way, it’s not good if people see." Su Yumo shook her head, she always stayed firm on this point.

Ye Xuan was resigned to this, it’s been so long, naturally wouldn’t force Su Yumo to be as liberated as Liu Ying.

Seeing the figures of Lin Tong and Chi Lian walking from afar, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Xiong Shan, send sister-in-law home."

"Yes!"

Xiong Shan nodded, looked expressionlessly at Su Yumo and said, "Sister-in-law, I’ll take you home!"

Su Yumo glanced at Xiong Shan, feeling a bit embarrassed while looking at Ye Xuan and said, "Ye Xuan, why not let Xiong Shan find somewhere to rest after he takes me home? Every night he’s out there in the wind and rain, it’s really tough."

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to speak, Xiong Shan glared and said, "It’s not tough!"

Compared to the harsh environment of a battlefield, it really wasn’t tough at all.

Ye Xuan chuckled, "The neighbors next to your house are moving out in a couple of days, then let Xiong Shan live next to you."

Lin Tong just happened to walk over, laughingly said, "Yumo, Xiong Shan is someone who has endured hardships, this isn’t considered tough for him, at critical times, safety is the priority, if anything happens to you, Ye Xuan will go mad."

"CEO..."

Seeing Lin Tong, Su Yumo’s face turned red, obviously a bit subconsciously nervous.

Although in the past few days, during task transfers, Su Yumo could say a few words to Lin Tong, compared to their relationship before, Su Yumo still felt uncomfortable and awkward.

Lin Tong chuckled lightly, "Go home then."

"Okay."

Su Yumo nodded, getting into a luxury car nearby with Xiong Shan.

Originally, Xiong Shan could use this car to pick up and drop off Liu Ying, but she absolutely refused, so now it became Su Yumo’s exclusive use.

Xiong Shan drove the car, taking Su Yumo out of the parking lot.

Ye Xuan looked up at Lin Tong, sighed with a bitter smile: "Wife, Eastern Group is going to have trouble again."

"Already know." Lin Tong nodded: "Just now several real estate companies called and said our building materials have problems and want to terminate cooperation with us."

Building materials have problems?

Upon hearing this, both Ye Xuan and Liu Ying were slightly stunned, even Chi Lian, who had just returned to Yan Country and knew nothing, could immediately feel this was a dirty trick.

Before Sun Kun started finding fault, this pot of dirty water was already prepared, ready to be unleashed!

"It’s really unscrupulous, too despicable!"

Liu Ying said with a sullen face: "Opening their mouths and accusing us of having problems with our materials, in this way, they not only avoid paying the penalty for breaching contract but might even make us pay compensation!"

Ye Xuan’s sword eyebrows furrowed lightly, he naturally understood this logic too.

Building materials are just materials, if only one company randomly casts dirty water, it wouldn’t affect much, but if many companies reached a consensus, secretly manipulated things, turning materials bought from Eastern Group into problematic ones, then the impact is big.

Eastern Group has to pay huge compensations, not to mention the company’s reputation would suffer greatly, wouldn’t take long before even small companies not affiliated with Wang Family would dare not buy building materials from Eastern Group.

Those who haven’t signed long-term contracts with Eastern Group, no need to mention.

This move almost completely wiped out Eastern Group’s building materials project!

"They haven’t asked for compensation, under the pretext of considering years of friendship, they won’t hold Eastern Group accountable." Lin Tong’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly with constant cold laughter: "Those faces are indeed disgusting."

"A gang of villains, none of them is any good." Liu Ying said in a deep voice: "They don’t want compensation, seemingly merciful, in fact, aren’t they just elevating their company’s reputation? Creating an illusion of generosity, just like those bandits, stealing a hundred dollars from someone, returning one dollar, still wanting others to call them kind-hearted."

Lin Tong sighed lightly: "Discuss this later, let’s go home first, Little Cloud is supposed to have dinner."
