Chapter 1745: About Liu Huamei

“Really?” Jing Xiaolu caressed her cheek joyfully. I went out of my way to doll myself up today because I received your call, she thought.

“It looks so much more natural, unlike your previous heavy makeup. Now you look like you don’t have any makeup on,” said Yang Ming.

“En…” Jing Xiaolu mumbled secretly. What do you mean by no makeup? This is called nude makeup. It’s even more troublesome to apply…

Yang Ming said that casually. He didn’t probe deeper into it. Both of them went into the building together. The company’s staff were already familiar with their relationship. It was clear since Yang Ming had given his full support to Jing Xiaolu during the inauguration.

The company used to have a rumor about Jing Xiaolu having a backer. Everyone was skeptical about it back then. It was a rumor after all. It couldn’t be taken as the truth. However, ever since Yang Ming sat beside Jing Xiaolu during the company’s inauguration, the rumors had become the truth.

Yang Ming didn’t say anything publicly. Nor did he disclose the nature of his relationship with Jing Xiaolu. Jing Xiaolu didn’t say anything either. However, that was how humans were. The more the people that were concerned kept to themselves, the more they would think that the story was indeed true!

Why else would they keep quiet if the story was false? Wouldn’t they already explain it? Yang Ming was the company’s chairman. If rumors about him having an affair his vice president flew around, he would have clarified everything if it was false.

After all, if these relationship rumors were false, then a situation where the vice president was more powerful than the president would occur. Bao Sanli wouldn’t tolerate this kind of thing.

Since Bao Sanli kept quiet about it, it was obvious that this matter was true.

Yang Ming didn’t appear much in the company, so his image was always mysterious. Most of the staff guessed thatYang Ming was simply some son of a rich man or some minister when they saw his young age. This was because he possessed such a massive company at such a young age. It wasn’t something that a person without a background could do. Not to mention that he also had the elite of Song Jiang such as Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan serving him. Moreover, even the security company had close ties with the city’s police department.

That was why most people thought that Yang Ming was the pampered son of a rich man or a minister. Only that could explain the current situation.

Yang Ming would probably smile bitterly if he knew what these people were thinking. He’s the son of a rich man? Son of a minister? He was the son of a pauper more like. It might seem unusual, but what he had now was really achieved through many steps of hard work.

However, Yang Ming had an advantage that no one else had. Yang Ming had obtained a pair of magical lenses, while everyone else didn’t.

Sun Jie’s words during the press conference yesterday consolidated these people’s thoughts further! This was not because of the sister relationship between Ming Yang Entertainment and the Ming Yang Security Company. All the staff knew there was only one boss behind both of them.

However, they didn’t know that the famous Ming Yang Heavy Industry in the province was also a member of the Ming Yang Group! Some followers went home to check online and found out that the head of Ming Yang Heavy Industry was actually Yang Dahai. When they dug deeper, they discovered that Yang Dahai was actually Chairman Yang Ming’s father!

That confirmed the fact that Yang Ming was the son of a rich man even more. Since the father had such a big company, then the son opening two companies wasn’t a big thing. As for the Chairman Sun Jie mentioned, that must be referring to Yang Ming’s father.

Sun Jie was probably someone by Yang Ming’s father’s side as she said that she was the chairman’s assistant. They had never seen Sun Jie appearing in the company either.

The staff who wanted to wave to show friendliness to Yang Ming retreated when they saw that he was not even looking their way. They didn’t dare to disturb him, especially when they saw Yang Ming walking together with Jing Xiaolu. If they interrupted the chairman’s happy little affair, they would be the ones to feel his wrath afterward!

When that time comes, they wouldn’t be able to take it even if it was Jing Xiaolu trying to mess with them, let alone Yang Ming!

“What is up with your employees? Why did they scurry aside when they saw you instead of saying hello?” Yang Ming asked with a frown when they entered the lift.

“My employees? Aren’t they your employees too?” Jing Xiaolu pouted. “How would they dare to say hello when you’re here? As the chairman, you don’t really appear in the company. When you do appear, it’s always with me. Who dares to interrupt?”

Yang Ming was half amused and half annoyed by Jing Xiaolu’s words. “Are they afraid of interrupting our happy little affair?”

“What do you think?” Jing Xiaolu replied with a question.

“Alright, forget what I asked,” Yang Ming shook his head. “Oh right, what’s the deal with Liu Xiaolei’s case? Are there any secrets behind it? I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with it.”

Yang Ming knew that his days with his friends and family were numbered. He didn’t ask for more details after he had Sun Jie handle everything related to the Mingjiang Company.

However, since the criminal Liu Xiaolei was dead now, Yang Ming couldn’t ignore it since he knew about it.

“Secrets…actually, this is just a guess of mine,” Jing Xiaolu deliberated over it. She organized her thoughts before saying, “Liu Huamei and I are suspecting that the mastermind behind this is related to Liu Zhenan, the vice president of the Jiangyan Group. He probably ordered someone to do it even if he wasn’t the one who did it. Anyway, he’s really shady!”

“Liu Huamei? Liu Zhenan?” Yang Ming repeated those two names.

“Liu Huamei is the vice president sent by the Jiangyan Group as its representative to the Mingjiang Escort Company. She’s Liu Zhenan’s cousin,” Jing Xiaolu explained.

“Oh, I remember her. She was the one sitting beside you on the day of the press conference,” Yang Ming frowned. “She’s so young? I thought she was your secretary before…”

The speaker had changed to Sun Jie when Yang Ming turned on the TV. That was why he didn’t know who Liu Huamei was. He didn’t hear her speech.

“Aren’t you and I young too?” Jing Xiaolu disagreed with Yang Ming. “Sister Huamei is actually very awesome. Many of Mingjiang’s management standards were drawn up by her. She’s also the one who negotiates with the banks.”

“Can this case happen if the management standards were really well drawn out?” Yang Ming was disapproving of Liu Huamei. This so-called genius young lady was nothing more than something created by being in a big family’s environment. These geniuses rarely shined outside the sphere of their family’s influence.

This was what it meant to be living an easy life under great predecessors. As long as the descendants had even a hint of a businesslike mind, they could ensure the empire created by their ancestors thrived. However, if you let that kind of descendant start a business with barely any money, then no matter how much of a genius they were, they would probably be finished.

Of course there were existences that surpassed these geniuses who were able to create business empires even if they were poor to begin with. However, those were exceptions, rather than the rule. Or else there wouldn’t be any paupers in this world.

“Didn’t I already say that Liu Zhenan has a high possibility of interfering in this case? However, we don’t have any evidence. The suspicion is based on the fact that Liu Zhenan has a deep feud with Sister Huamei. That’s why we suspected him from the start.”

“Since you have no evidence, you can’t prove that it’s Liu Zhenan who did it,” Yang Ming said coolly. He didn’t really like Liu Huamei and Liu Zhenan. “It’s best that we do not interfere in the Liu Family’s family feud.”

He wouldn’t help nor favor any side. If Yang Ming really accepted Liu Huamei as one of his own, he only needed that piece of suspicion. This was because Yang Ming rarely requested evidence whenever he took action.

What was evidence? Yang Ming wasn’t a judge that would be convicting anyone. Why would he need evidence? He could make his move as long as he decided to. The strong would consume the weak. There was no other reason. It was their fault they were weaker than him.

If Elder You was in his place and appeared before Yang Ming, he would also pursue Yang Ming without needing any reason.

“Yang Ming, Sister Huamei is a very nice person!” Jing Xiaolu knew that Yang Ming didn’t like Liu Huamei when she heard his tone of voice. She explained hurriedly, “During the time when Brother Bao and I got backstabbed by Liu Zhenan’s men because of the contract, Sister Huamei was the one who showed the evidence during the Jiangyan Group’s board meeting of Jiangyan Group and made Old Man Liu agree to alter the contract.”

“Oh? Then you’re saying that this Liu Huamei girl is a traitor?” Yang Ming asked curiously when he heard Jing Xiaolu’s words.

“Traitor…of course you can’t say that,” Jing Xiaolu almost jumped for a second there. “Sister Huamei is a sincere and fair person. She helped us because she knew the truth about Liu Zhenan’s men backstabbing us. It is because she thoroughly believes that a company can only live longer through trust, and not deceit.”

“So it seems that I have misunderstood her?” Yang Ming slightly changed his view of Liu Huamei after he heard Jing Xiaolu’s explanation. “Talk about her feud with Liu Zhenan then.”

Chapter 1746: Really Didn’t See Anything

“The Jiangyan Group’s old master Liu Jiangyan has three sons; Liu Heng, the eldest son; Liu Yan, the second son; and Liu Hua, the third son. However, the current leader of the Jiangyan Group is Liu Hua, the third son! Liu Heng, the eldest son, was involved in a traffic accident previously. He’s still in hospital now. He has always been in a coma. It’s no different from being dead. The Liu Family isn’t short on cash for his medical fees though. Liu Heng has a daughter, who is Sister Huamei. She used to be the Chief Financial Officer for the Jiangyan Group and controlled their financial affairs. It meant that she controlled the life of the group. It was since then that her feud with Liu Zhenan started. However, Liu Zhenan is also the Vice Chief Financial Officer now. Even though SIster Huamei is still the Chief Financial Officer, assigning her to Song Jiang basically meant that she is only the Chief Financial Officer in name. The group’s financial matters are now in Liu Zhenan’s hands…” Jing Xiaolu started narrating the Liu Family’s tale in one go. Jing Xiaolu had already thoroughly investigated these matters before they collaborated with the Jiangyan Group. “I really don’t know what Old Man Liu is thinking. He chased a brilliant person like Sister Huamei away and let a hypocrite take the position of vice president!”

“Oh? So that means that the Liu Family is now controlled by this Liu Zhenan?” Yang Ming smiled but gave no comment. “Since Liu Jiangyan can create such a massive family business, that means that he isn’t stupid. What do you think he’s thinking?”

“I don’t know, perhaps he has gone senile,” Jing Xiaolu disliked Liu Jiangyan even more than Yang Ming. That was why she thought that Liu Jiangyan was in the wrong no matter what Yang Ming said.

“Just let him do what he wants. It’s the Liu Family’s affairs anyway. Whether his family business gets destroyed or thrives is none of our business,” Yang Ming shrugged and said.

“Right, I still haven’t finished talking about the Liu Family’s story. Liu Jiangyan’s second son, Liu Yan, had polio since he was young. He can only go around in a wheelchair now. He never settled down and got married. In the end, he could only control the group from behind the scenes. He could never express himself officially. This is why he doesn’t have much power to make decisions. Thus, most of the Liu Family’s power now falls into Liu Hua’s hands. Liu Hua has two sons. One is Liu Zhenan, the eldest son, and the other is Liu Zheqiao, the youngest son. One is the company’s executive vice president while the other is the head of the human resources department. You can say that they have taken up two important spots in the company,” said Jing Xiaolu. “However, Liu Zheqiao already isn’t a match for Liu Zhenan, judging by the current situation. His performance is just mediocre. He does no wrong, but contributes nothing either. He probably doesn’t want to fight over anything anymore…”

Yang Ming only smiled slightly when he heard Jing Xiaolu’s explanation. Usually, this kind of facade masked a deeper layer. Still waters run deep.

The lift stopped at the floor of the company’s secretarial department during their conversation. Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu exited the lift and went to the secretarial department together. It was only seven in the morning now. It wasn’t eight yet. That was why there was scarcely anyone in the company.

However, the secretarial department is the main admin department for the entire company. No matter if it was sending beverages or documents, it was done by the secretarial department’s staff. That was why there were already people in the secretarial department so early in the morning.

“Was a fax document sent here, Xiao Wang?” Jing Xiaolu pushed open the door of the secretarial department’s office and asked a glasses-wearing girl who was arranging documents inside.

“Vice President Jing…Ah? Chairman Yang, you’re here…” Xiao Wang raised her head and was shocked when she saw Yang Ming standing beside Jing Xiaolu. She greeted him hurriedly, “Greetings, Chairman Yang.”

Everyone else in the office stopped what they were doing at once and stood up respectfully when they heard Xiao Wang’s greeting. They all called out, “Chairman Yang,” which made Yang Ming feel slightly embarrassed. He waved his hand, “Do what you’re supposed to do.”

The staff went back to their positions carefully after they heard Yang Ming’s orders and resumed their work.

“Xiao Wang, where’s the fax document that I asked about?” Jing Xiaolu asked Xiao Wang again when she saw her standing there dumbly.

“Ah, sorry, Vice President Jing. I was slightly distracted just now,” Xiao Wang said embarrassed “We do have a few fax documents here. Take a look and see which one you need.”

Xiao Wang took out a few pages from the fax machine and handed them to Jing Xiaolu as she was informing her.

Jing Xiaolu handed the documents to Yang Ming after she received them. Yang Ming flipped them over and took a portrait out before giving the others back to Xiao Wang, “Thank you. I don’t need the others.”

“Ah…it’s my pleasure,” Xiao Wang received the documents carefully and said hurriedly in respect when she heard Yang Ming saying thank you.

“Let’s go to your office then,” Yang Ming didn’t say anything further and announced to Jing Xiaolu as he turned around.

“Okay,” Jing Xiaolu caught a hint of the portrait just now. Even though she was curious about what the so-called clue in Yang Ming’s hands was, it wasn’t the right place to ask further questions.

Jing Xiaolu’s office was on the top floor of the company. They took the lift up. Jing Xiaolu opened her office’s door and said to Yang Ming, “Sit for a while first. I’ll do some simple cleanup. I was always in the Mingjiang Company’s office recently that’s beside this building. It’s been a while since I came back to this office. That’s why I didn’t ask anyone to clean it every day.”

Jing Xiaolu trotted to the bathroom as she said this. Jing Xiaolu’s office was a standard suite. It came with a resting space and bathroom. Only the company’s vice president would have this treatment.

Yang Ming wasn’t someone who loved to indulge. Yang Ming didn’t think that it was appropriate for him to laze around like a boss when he saw Jing Xiaolu going to work. He also stood up and walked toward the bathroom.

Yang Ming didn’t think much and tried to push open the door to enter the bathroom. He discovered that the door was locked from the outside, so he walked into it after pushing the handle down. As a consequence, he heard Jing Xiaolu scream, “Ah.”

Yang Ming lowered his head subconsciously and saw a scene that he shouldn’t have. Jing Xiaolu was sitting on the toilet seat. Her pants were already on the floor near her feet. If one heard closely, they could even hear the sound of water running…

Yang Ming was momentarily stunned. Why didn’t Jing Xiaolu lock the door from the inside while she was doing her business?

Jing Xiaolu was similarly stunned. She didn’t know what to do after she screamed subconsciously. She wanted to pull her pants up, but her business wasn’t done. This wasn’t something that could be stopped at will. That would mean wetting her pants.

But continuing like this…Jing Xiaolu lowered her head when she thought of this. She nearly buried her face in the toilet bowl…

“I…I didn’t see anything…” Yang Ming finally recovered and stammered as he tried to explain.

“Oh…” Jing Xiaolu felt like she was dying from embarrassment…

“I really didn’t see anything…nothing can be seen…from this angle,” Yang Ming’s heart raced inexplicably when he said that. He almost tried to peep with his ability…

“Um…it’s okay even if you saw it…,” Jing Xiaolu wanted to say, “It’s okay…,” but the words that tumbled out of her mouth were, “It’s okay even if you saw it…”

Jing Xiaolu was feeling feverish when she heard herself say that. What am I doing? Isn’t this seducing Yang Ming? However, Jing Xiaolu’s thoughts changed after a split second. She was trying to woo Yang Ming. This wasn’t exactly something that she should hide…

“Ugh…,” Yang Ming’s suppressed lust started churning again upon hearing Jing Xiaolu’s words. He thought, This Jing Xiaolu really did it now. How could she say that?

How about just peeping a little? Yang Ming’s gaze trailed downwards when he thought of this… In the end, he only saw blurry stuff… This lighting is really bad! You really can’t see a thing. How about using a bit of my special ability?
