“I didn’t let Lulu come along because I was afraid she’d get into a fight with Han Mengmeng. You know, those two girls have always been at odds…”

Ye Bai gave an explanation.

"Lulu looks down on Han Mengmeng because she has a strong moral compass and hates those vixens who like to seduce other people's husbands!"

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly and publicly praised Shen Lu's "always reporting any wrongdoing" behavior.

The little girl immediately lost her fear and instead raised her chin and puffed out her chest, displaying an air of pride and smugness.

"Boss Qin, don't forget, it was a task you assigned me to have more contact with Han Mengmeng. Besides, I only bumped into her by chance at the hospital."

Thinking about the remaining 50,000 yuan payment, Ye Bai decided to hold off on arguing with Queen Qin for the time being.

If you really want to argue, you have to wait until you get the money, otherwise it's definitely a waste of time and money.

"Heh, you think you're right? It's true I let you get to know her, but did I ask you to go shopping and eat cold noodles with her?"

Qin Wanqing sneered, increasingly convinced that this scumbag was just making excuses; the real reason was that he had taken a liking to that vixen's beauty.

Although she had always looked down on Han Mengmeng, she always admitted that in the entire Jingzhou, the only one who could pose a threat to her in terms of appearance and temperament was probably Han Mengmeng.

As for the others, including the likes of Zhu Daji, they were still a notch below.

This is one of the reasons why she and Han Mengmeng don't get along.

The principle of "like repels like" is especially evident among people with exceptionally good looks.

This is generally how they compete for beauty and splendor.

"What else can we do? Just sit there staring at each other?"

Ye Bai was speechless. When this woman got unreasonable, she was truly unbeatable.

"You scoundrel surnamed Ye! Lulu is right here, how dare you say such things in front of a child!"

Qin Wanqing blushed and spat fiercely.

Ye Bai's words suddenly reminded her of a short joke she had seen not long ago.

The dialogue between the man and woman consists of only two sentences, but it is very meaningful.

Woman: What do you want to do?

Man: Yes.

……

"??"

Ye Bai was filled with questions, completely unable to figure out where he had been being indecent in his statement.

Shen Lu was the same; her big eyes were full of confusion, making her look even more adorable.

Although she usually enjoys watching TV dramas, she is innocent and simple-minded, and is obviously not as lewd as her mistress.

"By the way, did you ask Han Mengmeng if she plans to sell her shares?"

Seeing that Ye Bai and Shen Lu were both confused, Qin Wanqing realized that she had thought of something dirty, so she quickly changed the subject.

"I asked, and she didn't want to sell."

Ye Bai shook his head; he still maintained a high level of professional ethics.

Having received payment, they naturally wouldn't do nothing.

"This little vixen seems to be trying to use these shares to control me!"

A flash of anger crossed Qin Wanqing's eyes, and she began to feel a headache coming on.

Han Mengmeng was adamant about not selling her shares, and the other woman had no other options.

Neither coercion nor bribery works on the little princess of the Han family.

However, she didn't necessarily have to buy it; she had another option.

That is to keep Han Mengmeng neutral.

Currently, she still holds a significant advantage in terms of shareholding compared to the Qin family's top executives.

As long as Han Mengmeng doesn't take sides, she can regain her position as president of the Qin Group.

"Starting tomorrow, continue to contact Han Mengmeng more often. It would be even better if we could make her feel hostile towards Third Uncle."

Qin Wanqing gave Ye Bai another task, completely forgetting the scene where she was very jealous because he accompanied Han Mengmeng to eat cold noodles.

"...I think you should find someone else."

Ye Bai's lips twitched, and he decided to give up on this deal.

Money is a good thing, but Queen Qin is clearly a very difficult client to please.

Rather than being constantly subjected to his sarcastic remarks, Ye Bai felt that the remaining 50,000 yuan wasn't so appealing anymore.

Even cattle and horses have principles.

"Okay, then give me back my deposit, and according to normal business contract procedures, pay me three times the penalty for breach of contract. Hmm, that's 350,000 in total..."

Qin Wanqing said with a half-smile.

"...Pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Ye Bai immediately raised his hands in surrender, willingly continuing to serve the Queen of Qin like a beast of burden.

Even if you sold him now, you simply wouldn't be able to come up with that much money.

The reason Qin Wanqing wasn't worried about his strike was clearly because she was well aware of his current wealth.

"Poverty is indeed the root of all evil!"

Ye Bai looked up at the sky and sighed, "These days, life is just too damn tough for cattle and horses."

……

"I won't be having dinner at home tonight. Come with me somewhere. Oh, and I took two more of those books from your bookshelf."

"Don't worry, I won't take it for free. I can give you money."

After thoroughly subduing Ye Bai, Qin Wanqing said with a refreshed expression.

"Are you going to find Yang Tianju?"

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood the other party's plan.

Currently, only three people are interested in his esoteric texts.

The first to be affected is naturally the mysterious "Mr. Nangong," whose identity Ye Bai still hasn't been able to confirm.

Secondly, there are Han Anguo and Yang Tianju.

Qin Wanqing didn't know who Mr. Nangong was either, and she couldn't find him even if she wanted to.

She was extremely wary and disgusted with Han Anguo, and they had almost no interaction with each other on a daily basis.

In the end, only Yang Tianju remained as the target.

"That's right, one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket."

Qin Wanqing nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at Ye Bai.

This guy may be a bit of a jerk, but he's actually quite smart.

The shares held by Han Mengmeng are always a variable, and it's not feasible to rely entirely on the other party, especially since their relationship is far from good.

She also wanted to try to get Yang Tianju back to neutrality.

If successful, even if Han Mengmeng joins the Qin family's upper echelons, it will not have any impact on her.

Soon, Shen Lu drove Ye Bai and his two companions to the front of Yang Tianju's villa.

This time, it wasn't the nanny who opened the door, but Yang Tianju himself who was waiting at the door.

Even the elders of the Qin Group have to give face to the Queen of Qin.

"Mr. Yang, you're too kind. How could I trouble you to wait here?"

Qin Wanqing quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Wanqing, it's rare for you to come here, so have a few drinks with this old man today."

Yang Tianju smiled kindly, looking genuinely happy.

Needless to say, this old fox is also a top-notch actor.

Upon entering the house, Ye Bai saw the young nanny, Xie Wanting, once again.

She was as beautiful as ever, with a slender figure. Because it was still early in the pregnancy, the signs of pregnancy had not yet appeared.

"President Qin, Mr. Ye..."

Yang Tianju's grandson, Yang Renxiao, strode out and greeted Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing with great respect.

Qin Wanqing smiled and nodded in return, but Ye Bai's expression was somewhat strange.

There was nothing he could do; seeing the grandfather, grandson, and nanny appear together made him feel like his worldview was being severely challenged.
