Chapter 023 The Stingy Queen Qin
To be honest, Qin Wanqing knew that she shouldn't be in this state of mind at a time like this.
After all, Ye Bai went to deliver the book to Old Master Yang in order to help her regain her position as president of the Qin Group.
Even if she had expected things not to go as planned and wasn't too disappointed, she should still be unhappy.
But for some reason, seeing Ye Bai get the short end of the stick always gave her a strange, perverse pleasure.
Qin Wanqing felt that the root of the problem lay with Ye Bai.
This guy always acts like he can do anything, which is really annoying.
It would be outrageous if we didn't experience some setbacks.
"The book was given away for free, but it wasn't a wasted trip."
Ye Bai was too lazy to argue with the petty Queen Qin, so he smiled and continued, "We have discovered a big secret about Yang Tianju."
"What secret?" Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up as she asked curiously.
Women are creatures with an extremely strong sense of curiosity, and she was no exception.
"A video..."
Ye Bai briefly explained his findings and speculations, then took out his phone and played the video for Qin Wanqing.
In this matter, Shen Lu listened to Ye Bai and did not secretly send the video to Qin Wanqing.
She probably felt that her son-in-law was really too miserable, so poor that it was almost unbelievable, yet he still had his own persistence, which was truly admirable.
Moreover, the son-in-law and daughter are family, and the daughter is not short of money, so it is not a big deal for the son-in-law to earn some pocket money.
"This is really..."
After figuring out the whole story, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes widened, and for a moment she didn't know how to comment.
In her memory, Mr. Yang had always been a very traditional elder who valued rules and regulations.
They are extremely concerned about their reputation.
But to my surprise, he turned out to be a hypocritical and shameless old man!
Older wealthy people tend to enjoy pleasure-seeking, which is not unusual in high society circles.
But he didn't even spare the family's nanny, getting her pregnant and then having an affair with his grandson. That's really shocking.
"You didn't upload this video, did you?"
After a long while, Qin Wanqing took a deep breath, and her expression returned to calm.
Having sat on the throne of the Queen of Jingzhou for many years, she has witnessed quite a few dark sides.
She only lost her composure because it involved Yang Tianju, a highly respected senior figure in the Qin Group.
"No, I only have this copy on my phone."
Ye Bai shook his head.
After sending the video to him, Shen Lu completely deleted it from her phone.
In the young maid's words, she did this to show her loyalty to her son-in-law.
"Okay, then give me this video... never mind, just sell it to me, name your price."
Qin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't figured out how to use the video, but she already realized that it would definitely come in handy someday.
When the day comes that she has no choice but to break off all pretense of civility, she will not tolerate even if the other party is an elder of the Qin family.
The position of president of the Qin Group cannot be secured by benevolence alone.
"Well, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."
Ye Bai was very satisfied with Qin Wanqing's understanding, but he really didn't know how much this thing should cost.
This is the first time he's made money by shooting short videos.
"Here's ten... I'll give you twenty thousand yuan."
Qin Wanqing originally wanted to say 100,000, but changed her mind before she could say it.
It wasn't that she cared about the money, but rather that Ye Bai was just too extravagant.
No matter how much money it is, once it reaches the other party's hands, it will be spent in less than a day.
She disliked this extravagant spending habit.
"...Alright, twenty thousand it is."
Ye Bai was somewhat depressed.
This kind of juicy gossip about a wealthy man would probably attract a lot of attention, with many people willing to pay a high price for it.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money others give him, he can't spend it; it's completely useless to him.
When everything has only one buyer, the initiative is obviously not in the seller's hands.
Ye Bai could do nothing but secretly despise Queen Qin for becoming increasingly stingy.
Fortunately, he was used to hard times, and money is something that can be spent in many ways when you have a lot and in few ways when you have little.
He wouldn't mind having two million, nor would he mind having had twenty thousand.
The main message is that having money is better than having no money.
The plan to fleece the Queen of Qin is a long and arduous one.
"You think it's not enough? Just say so. I don't necessarily have to buy it."
Seeing Ye Bai muttering something to himself, Qin Wanqing said with a smile.
She loved seeing Ye Bai act like a submissive wife, yielding and making concessions.
"...Have some decency."
Ye Bai retorted irritably, then sent the video to Qin Wanqing's phone.
Finally, he deleted the files from his phone in front of her before he received the 20,000 yuan reward from Qin Wanqing.
"By the way, you bought a new phone, haven't you chatted with anyone yet?"
Qin Wanqing glanced at Ye Bai's phone and suddenly asked a question.
"Um...can't I chat with other people?"
Ye Bai asked cautiously.
"That's your own business, it's none of my concern!"
Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, and the smile on her pretty face vanished instantly, replaced by a frosty expression.
"...This woman isn't a dog, how come she changes her mind faster than turning the pages of a book?"
Ye Bai was completely bewildered, but dared not ask any more questions, and could only grumble to himself.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with chatting with that "little fangirl".
Putting aside the fact that what they talked about was all about his past when he was guarding the mountain town, it didn't involve any feelings at all.
More importantly, he and Qin Wanqing were not actually husband and wife.
There was absolutely no love between them, let alone any talk of loyalty.
"By the way, do you really understand feng shui?"
Qin Wanqing's temper flared up quickly and subsided even faster; she soon returned to normal and looked at Ye Bai, asking a question.
"I know a little... What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, you still haven't paid me for the feng shui I changed in your study last time! Don't even think about making me work for you for free again!"
Ye Bai nodded subconsciously at first, then started grumbling in dissatisfaction.
The heartless boss who deliberately withholds employee wages is truly despicable.
Faced with Ye Bai's complaints, Queen Qin remained calm, and with just one sentence, she made him instantly obedient.
"I'll give you the money, including the one from last time."
“The boss is awesome!”
Ye Bai beamed, eager to try, and said, "So, tell me, where do you want me to arrange the feng shui? Your Qin Group headquarters building? There's definitely something wrong there..."
He was always incredibly enthusiastic about working for the Queen of Qin, as long as there was payment.
"You're saying there's a problem with the feng shui of my Qin Group headquarters building?"
Qin Wanqing's pretty face changed, and her expression became serious.
She wanted to find Ye Bai so that he would accompany her to see that Feng Shui master.
That's the same person who arranged the feng shui for her study before.
Zhao Chengfeng told her today that he had contacted the other party, but the master was too busy and they couldn't schedule an appointment yet.
But there will always be a time when they meet. At that time, Qin Wanqing wants Ye Bai to help her determine whether the so-called "Feng Shui master" is just a figurehead or has ulterior motives.
Unexpectedly, before she could even explain her intentions, she heard some unexpected information from Ye Bai.
