The Crazy Son-In-Law

In her decade long career as an assassin, Zhe Que had always felt her heart cold. When she looked at Hu’s clean and crystal gaze, her heart subconsciously softened a bit.

She bent over and picked up a small stone and flicked it towards the trunk.

“Pop, pop, pop.”

The dates hanging on the tree then fell to the ground.

Hu’s eyes lit up and she ran over to pick up the dates from the ground. A lovely smile full of joy then blossomed on her face.

After Zhe Que settled down, Long San took Zhe Que to Yao Cen’s office. Long San asked her to wait outside, and he went in alone first to report.

After he knocked on the door and walked into Yao Cen’s office he found that Xiao Shun was also there. After the two looked at each other, he gently cleared his throat and said stiffly, “President, in order to ensure your safety, I have specially found you a bodyguard. I’m going to bring her over for you to have a look.”

That just couldn’t be more abrupt. Xiao Shun was speechless for a while.

Yao Cen froze for a moment with a puzzled look on her face, and then she laughed, “I’m not a celebrity. Why do I need a bodyguard?”

“Uh… Prevention is better than cure…”

When Long San stammered and was about to ruin the whole thing, Xiao Shun interrupted, “Long San just wants to help. Have you forgotten what happened last time? It’s just scary whenever I think about it. It’s always good to have someone by your side.”

Yao Cen thought about it for a moment. She really needed some help around her too. Although Mai Yaqin was still her assistant, she was already busy enough preparing for the online sales department, “Okay, since you’ve already found someone, just let her stay.”

“I’ve already brought her here. She’s right outside, do you want to have an interview?” Long San said.

Yao Cen nodded and smiled lightly, “Bring her in. We will work together, so we will meet anyway.”

Soon Zhe Que appeared in the office. Yao Cen looked up and was slightly stunned. Even she was amazed by her beauty.

“President, my name is Zhu Quo.” Zhe Que was slightly too formal. This was her first time participating in the so-called interview, but like Yao Cen, when she saw Yao Cen, she couldn’t help but exclaim in her mind, “So beautiful.”

No wonder Mr. Xiao was worried so much about her. He married such a beauty, and he surely could never love her enough.

“I thought all bodyguards were men. You’re so pretty. Did you used to be a bodyguard too?”

Everyone in the world likes beautiful women, not just men, so Yao Cen had a pretty good impression of her. Only she felt a little surprised that such a beautiful woman would be a bodyguard.

“I tried her and she is even better than me. She will take care of the security around your office, and she can also drive you around. There will be no problem.” Long San interrupted.

Yao Cen felt that Long San was strange today, but she still trusted him enough anyway. She smiled and said, “Okay, since you have said that she is okay, then there is no problem.”

Xiao Shun and Long San both breathed a sigh of relief.

But Yao Cen still felt that she didn’t really need a bodyguard. She was mostly in her office, and their business was pretty simple now, so she rarely went out to socialize.

She thought about it for a moment and said, “How about this? You don’t have to stay here all the time, and I’ll call you when I need you.”

“Yes, you don’t have to wait here, as long as you can keep the president safe.” Long San said.

Zhe Que nodded, “Understood.”

“What is your relationship with my husband?”

After Xiao Shun and Long San left Yao Cen’s office, she looked at Zhu Que and asked.

Women were all sensitive. When Zhe Que came to her desk, she could already smell the scent on Zhe Que. It was the same scent as the one on Xiao Shun’s jacket last night.

She deliberately didn’t say anything, and just wanted to know what they wanted. And just now even Long San had acted along with the two of them.

Zhe Que was slightly stunned and said frankly, “You are so smart, Ma’am. Mr. Xiao wants me to protect you, and he was afraid that you might think too much, so he let Mr. Long make the arrangements.”

Yao Cen smiled faintly and said, “I already thought more than I should.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Just kidding. No need to be so formal.”

Yao Cen was instantly relieved. If Xiao Shun really had something with Zhe Que, of course he would hide her well, and of course he wouldn’t put her right in front of herself. It was inconvenient and also easy to expose themselves.

The next few days were fairly quiet, but a news story about the Sikong family spread through Stillwater. They were selling twenty percent of their family business, Golden Harrow, for eight hundred million.

It was eight hundred million in cash, and they seemed to be in a hurry. However, even the other three families couldn’t get that much money immediately.

Xiao Shun leaned back in his office chair with his eyes slightly closed, his index finger tapping the armrest of the chair unconsciously, and then he slowly opened his eyes, fished out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Soon, Hou Chenghe’s surprised voice came from the other side, “Mr. Xiao, I didn’t expect you would call me suddenly. How can I help you?”

“I want to meet your two friends.”

“No problem, I will contacted them now and will call you back.”

The next day, at Hotel Wradeogon.

When Xiao Shun arrived, Hou Chenghe, Wen Guangliang and Cai Junmin were already waiting.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Xiao Shun opened the door and said to Wen Guangliang and Cai Junmin, “Actually, I need your help.”

“Mr. Xiao, it’s our honor to help you. We were simply so rude to you last time. Please forgive us.”

Wen Guangliang laughed brightly.

“Recently, the Sikong family offered to sell twenty percent of Golden Harrow for eight hundred million, and I want to buy it. You should know that I injured Sikong Chen during Shadow Stage, and he is exactly from that family, so it’s not very convenient for me to do it on my own. And if I just find a random person to acquire their shares with 800 million cash, I’m afraid the Sikong family will also be suspicious, so you guys are most suitable for this job.”

Xiao Shun lightly smiled.

Wen Guangliang was the president of Oakland Finance, while Cai Junmin was the boss of Good Fortune. They were both equity investment professionals. It was their job, and they knew everything about it.

The three men looked at each other. They were all shrewd businessmen, and they naturally understood his intentions quickly.

“Twenty percent? Why don’t you just buy more to control that company.” Hou Chenghe said with a mysterious smile.

Xiao Shun said, “The Sikong family only sells twenty percent.”

“As long as the price is temptng enough, I think they will be willing to sell more.” Wen Guangliang said.

Xiao Shun sniffed and shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t have that much money.”

“We do.” Cai Junmin laughed.

“Mr. Wen just said that the price should be temptng enough. So I guess it’s not very good price for us, right?” Xiao Shun asked.

“The Sikong family has been in Stillwater for like forever. Golden Harrow is a cash cow. As long as it continues to bring in revenue, we don’t mind a slightly higher price. We’re investors and we value long-term benefits more.”

Wen Guangliang seemed to mean more than his words.

It’s not just Golden Harrow they’re investing in, but Xiao Shun as well.

He was only in his twenties, and he could already easily defeat a Tier Eight fighter of Old School Society. If he started his own sect in the future and became a martial arts master, his future would be limitless.
