Xiao Ming, in his previous life, after Shen Siyi was killed by Gu Xiangmeng, the REDClub closed for reorganization, and the police became involved in the investigation. It was then that they unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Guangde's father, Zhao Guosheng, was actually involved in drug-related activities.
At the time, Shen Siqi was not implicated, so Xiao Ming was unaware that he was a shareholder here.πππππ°π²π―π»ππππΉ.ππ¨π
Now, thinking back, after the news broke about Shen Siqi's embezzlement, it was reported that he had just divorced his wife.
Looking at it now, he must have been worried about being implicated by Zhao Guosheng and his brother-in-law, who had taken over as a shareholder of the bar, so he divorced his wife.
Therefore, Xiao Ming decided to have Shen Siyi find someone to report Zhao Guosheng, catching Shen Siqi off guard. Even if he was truly innocent, it would still keep him busy and troubled for a while.
The most crucial point was that having a blemish of being under police investigation would make it easier to convince the board of directors of Qianshan Group to lean towards Shen Siyi's side.
Moreover, with the plan to take over Dabang in action, Xiao Ming didn't believe he couldn't deal with Shen Anhe, whose brains seemed to be degenerating.
After discussing the specific details with Shen Siyi and having had enough to drink, Shen Siyi left by car, and Xiao Ming rode his motorcycle to take Gu Xiangmeng home.
Bai Xuechao's residence was in the old city district, in an ugly and old two-story cement building that was over a decade old, but few people knew that inside lived a famous elder sister of the north side of the city.
"Thank you, Brother Ming."
At the gate, Gu Xiangmeng took off her helmet and bowed respectfully to Xiao Ming.
"You've had quite a bit to drink. If there's honey at home, you can make a cup of honey water and drink it before bed to protect your stomach," Xiao Ming said.
"Mhm."
Gu gave a response and then just stood there with her head bowed, not speaking or moving.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Who are you acting like a quail for?" Xiao Ming deliberately expressed impatience.
Gu Xiangmeng pouted, "Brother, did I... cause you any trouble today?"
"If I hadn't gone there to drink today, there indeed would have been big trouble," Xiao Ming first said sternly. Then he smiled and continued, "However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now, not only is there no trouble, but it also created a not-too-big, not-too-small opportunity.
So, let's call it even!"
Gu Xiangmeng's face lit up with happiness, "Really?"
"Fake."
With the flick of a finger, he knocked her on the forehead, Xiao Ming said irritably, "Too much nonsense, hurry up and go to sleep.
Remember, be more vigilant when you go out. If you dare to drink with people you're not familiar with again, I'll break your bottom!"
Gu Xiangmeng's eyes swirled around as she bit her lip, "How about... Brother, you spank me a few times now to help me remember?"
While Xiao Ming gulped at the sight of the girl's pert 'little full moon,' he also felt a twinge of pain.
Men whose wives are pregnant are most prone to making mistakes, but also should not make them. Fortunately, having lived two lifetimes, his willpower was extraordinary, and he was not about to fall for a little demoness with little experience in the ways of the world.
Gu Xiangmeng stood with her back to Xiao Ming, both longing for him to really act and a little afraid of the pain, her heart thumping nervously.
But after waiting a while without any physical contact, she heard Xiao Ming making a phone call instead.
"Are you asleep yet? If not, come downstairs. There's a problematic girl outside waiting for you to give her a good spanking on her behalf," he said.
Gu Xiangmeng turned back around, stomping her foot and pouting, "Why did you call Bai?"
Xiao Ming grinned, buckled his helmet, and started the engine.
"Little girl, my appearance fee is too high for you to afford. Do you want a spanking? Go find Xuechao."
As she watched the motorcycle speed away, Gu Xiangmeng felt extremely disappointed, gritting her teeth and cursing resentfully, "You're the biggest fool in the world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the door latch was heard from behind, followed by the door opening. Bai Xuechao, clad in a cool nightgown, rushed out, looked around, and asked, "Where is the gentleman?"
Gu Xiangmeng looked her up and down, focusing on her chest and thighs, and smirked, "The one who should have seen has already left, you better be careful not to be seen by others who shouldn't."
Bai Xuechao's face flushed, she hurried back, but not before landing a forceful slap on her as she passed, "You little stinker!"
Over the next few days, Xiao Ming did only one thing: he registered an investment holding company.
With a registered capital of five hundred million, he contributed three hundred million, Yun Shi Yu and Shen Siyi each contributed one hundred million, and the shares were allocated according to their respective investment proportions.
Standing in the newly rented office building, Shen Siyi examined the business license back and forth.
"Rui Ye Investment Holding Co., Ltd. Ming, what's the meaning behind 'Rui Ye'? Is there a story to it?"
"I've told you many times, you should read more when you have free time." Yun Shi Yu curled her lips and said, "'Rui Ye' is a refined term for snow. It's his way of expressing love for his wife; he's not even embarrassed about being cheesy."
Shen Siyi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xiao Ming, who was looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said in a low voice, "Yu, your words sound a tad jealous, don't tell me you've fallen for Ming?"
Yun Shi Yu's face turned red instantly, she stomped on his shoe.
"Spread one more rumor, and I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Shen Siyi looked aggrieved, "I'm only looking out for you! Not only does Ming have a wife, he's also got both a major and minor lover on the side, affectionate, charming, and pureβthe whole package. You won't get much even if you throw yourself into the mix."
"What?"
Yun Shi Yu was taken aback and dragged him to a corner. "Who are these two women?"
"You know them both. One is that little girl who almost stabbed me with a knife, Gu Xiangmeng; the other is her boss, the big sister of Beicheng, Bai Xuechao."
"Are you sure they are really Xiao Ming's lovers?" Yun Shi Yu was still skeptical.
"Of course, I'm sure. Back when I got mad and caught Bai Xuechao, she confessed herself as Ming's woman. A few days ago at the bar, when I called Gu Xiangmeng little sister-in-law, she didn't deny it either."
"And Xiao Ming? Did he admit it too?"
"No, he didn't. He said he only loves his wife and has nothing to do with other women, but that's definitely a lie.
You know, men always talk tough when it comes to these things."
"You don't know jack about men!"
Yun Shi Yu immediately felt relieved, then angrily stomped on Shen Siyi's foot again, "Stop spreading baseless rumors in the future. You sound like a gossiping busybody, it's annoying!"
Shen Siyi, hurting, hopped on one foot but could only glare at Yun Shi Yu's retreating figure and mutter under his breath, "It's a thankless task to be a good person.
I hope one day Ming devours you whole, and then we'll see how you cry."
Yun Shi Yu felt confident dismissing Shen Siyi's words because she trusted her own judgment.
Xiao Ming's pride was deep in his bones; if he truly had lovers, he would never boast about being faithful.
Even more so, she thought that Xiao Ming would probably confess to his wife at the first opportunity.
If he said there were none, then there were definitely none.
As for those two women who wished otherwise, hmph! One was street-smart, the other a greenhorn. Just wait for a chance to teach them a lesson, no need to take them too seriously.
"Siyi, you're in charge of the next steps for the decoration and procurement of office supplies."
At that moment, Xiao Ming turned around and started heading out, saying, "Yu, you'll handle the personnel; you're in charge of recruiting staff and liaising with the headhunting firms, okay?"
"Get rid of the question mark." Yun Shi Yu pouted, "It was clearly agreed that I'd be a manager, and in the end, you're the boss. Your word means nothing; I'm not trusting you again."
Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "Come on, I'll take you to acquire our first company!"
