373: Chapter 368: Chinese Descent 373: Chapter 368: Chinese Descent “Ye Tian, what are you doing here?”
Ye Tian was chatting and laughing with Bai Lan when Yun Xinyan walked over, followed by several female secretaries, seemingly ready to head out.
“Captain Ye, hello!”
Upon seeing Ye Tian, the female secretaries greeted him enthusiastically.
Everyone knew about Ye Tian’s relationship with President Yun Xinyan, so a bit of flattery couldn’t hurt.
Yun Xinyan “hmphed,” and the secretaries immediately toned down their greetings.
Though Yun Corporation’s internal staff were well aware of Yun Xinyan’s relationship with Ye Tian, they were at the office where keeping business and personal matters separate was essential.
“Wife, are you going out?” Ye Tian asked Yun Xinyan.
“Yes.” Yun Xinyan nodded, “I’m going to discuss business.
Our counterparts are a Chinese-American financial consortium with impressive strength.
This time, they’ve finally come to Jiang City.
If we can secure this client, Yun Corporation can grow even larger!”
“Wife, Yun Corporation is already big enough; why bother doing more?
Besides, your chest is already big enough!”
Ye Tian joked, causing everyone around to “pfft” into laughter.
Yun Xinyan’s expression darkened, and nobody dared to laugh anymore.
“If I don’t go out and conduct business, do you expect the corporation to be as lazy as you?”
Yun Xinyan chided, having wrestled business deals away from the jaws of the formidable Huihuang Company, temporarily rescuing Yun Corporation from a financial crisis.
However, simply muddling through wasn’t Xinyan’s style.
As long as Yun Xinyan was president of Yun Corporation, she was determined to keep the company growing and thriving, until it became one of the world’s top fifty enterprises!
“I’m not lazy at all, wife.
You know all about the ‘homework’ I do at night!”
Ye Tian pouted, and the female employees around Yun Xinyan wanted to laugh, but none dared to laugh out loud in front of her stern expression.
“Wife, let me go with you, okay?
I want to see for myself just how impressive this Chinese-American consortium is,” Ye Tian volunteered himself.
“No way!”
Yun Xinyan flat-out refused, and before Ye Tian could ask why, she had already left with her secretaries.
In fact, Ye Tian had helped Yun Xinyan a lot lately, but when it came to business matters, Yun Xinyan still preferred to handle things independently.
She had already troubled Ye Tian enough and did not want him to toil for her sake every day.
“…”
As Ye Tian watched Yun Xinyan’s retreating figure, Bai Lan spoke up, “Ye Tian, the president is no child.
You don’t need to keep an eye on her all the time.
You should give her some privacy.”
“Privacy?
What are you talking about?”
Ye Tian replied discontentedly—his wife needed privacy, indeed!
However, since Yun Xinyan didn’t want him to accompany her, it probably meant that this business meeting was nearly a sure thing, and she didn’t want Ye Tian to cause any commotion.
Ye Tian was feeling down when Liu Fei’er called…
“Do you want to have lunch together?”
Liu Fei’er warmly invited Ye Tian, who immediately accepted with a smile.
There was nothing more exciting than having lunch with a beautiful woman, so Ye Tian set off for the agreed-upon location immediately.
It was a Western restaurant where Liu Fei’er had been waiting for quite some time and had already ordered the food.
“Ye Tian, the steak here is really delicious!”
Liu Fei’er recommended to Ye Tian, and soon the waiter brought out two servings of steak, medium-rare tenderloin that was incredibly juicy and flavorful.
“Ye Tian, are your injuries completely healed?”
Liu Fei’er asked with concern, remembering that his injuries were severe when she visited him at the city center hospital, where the doctors said it would take at least three months to discharge.
However, to Liu Fei’er’s surprise, Ye Tian was discharged after just a week in the hospital!
Liu Fei’er learned this during a subsequent visit, so she immediately called Ye Tian and invited him to lunch.
“Of course, I’m healed!
Definitely!
Fei’er, who do you think I am?
Am I the type to be brought down by an injury?”
Boasting, Ye Tian flexed his muscles for Liu Fei’er.
Although his skills were not fully recovered, Ye Tian’s muscles and bones were completely fine, and upon seeing his robust physique, Liu Fei’er’s face blushed.
“I’m glad you’re healthy.
Just don’t be so reckless next time…
The doctor told me your stomach was torn open.
If you were anyone else, you would’ve been long gone…”
Liu Fei’er whispered softly.
Despite Ye Tian’s strength, he was human, and humans are susceptible to injuries and mortalities.
“Heh, thank you, Fei’er.
To celebrate my discharge, shouldn’t you give me a kiss?”
While saying this, Ye Tian shamelessly presented his cheek to Liu Fei’er, who immediately blushed even more.
“How can anyone do such a thing in a place like this with so many people watching!” Liu Fei’er gently pushed Ye Tian’s face away, adding, “Ye Tian, we’re going on a picnic in a few days.
You should come too!”
Liu Fei’er eagerly invited Ye Tian, who asked, “When you say ‘we,’ how many people are going on the picnic?”
“Quite a few.
Yun Xinyan will be there too!” Liu Fei’er didn’t hide it and said directly.
“My wife actually didn’t tell me!”
Ye Tian complained, feeling unsatisfied.
At times, Yun Xinyan seemed to intentionally keep him out of the loop; it was Liu Fei’er who kindly invited him.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he have missed the splendid spring scenery?
“No problem!
I’ll definitely go!”
Ye Tian nodded his head, and after finishing their steaks, he and Liu Fei’er got up and left the Western restaurant.
Just as they reached the entrance of the Western restaurant, a young man in a suit suddenly said to Liu Fei’er, “Pretty sister, would you like to have coffee with me?”
Although the young man was clearly Chinese, his Mandarin was quite poor.
If one didn’t listen closely, it was impossible to understand what he meant.
It seemed he was a huá qiáo, trying to invite Liu Fei’er for coffee, perhaps?
These days, wealthy and influential men would always hit on beautiful women; such occurrences were no longer uncommon.
“I…”
Liu Fei’er seemed quite hesitant, but the huá qiáo young man blocked the door, and she couldn’t leave.
“Get lost!” Ye Tian stepped in front of Liu Fei’er and said resolutely.
The huá qiáo young man was startled and asked, “Who are you?
Do you know who I am?
I’m Bei Dong, and I’m not someone to be trifled with!”
Even though the huá qiáo young man’s words were unclear, one could make out that he called himself Bei Dong.
“I don’t care if you’re Bei Dong or Bei Xi, if you keep bothering Liu Fei’er, I’ll make you regret it!”
Ye Tian was fiercely intimidating; Liu Fei’er quickly hid behind him.
Feeling protected by Ye Tian was wonderful; she was free from worries.
Seeing this, Bei Dong grew even angrier!
“You think you’re tough?
I’ll show you!”
As he spoke, Bei Dong lunged at Ye Tian, but Ye Tian didn’t dodge; when Bei Dong reached him, Ye Tian suddenly punched, striking Bei Dong’s stomach.
Bei Dong was immediately knocked to the ground.
Although Ye Tian’s strength hadn’t fully recovered, dealing with a minor character like Bei Dong was more than manageable.
Bei Dong, having taken a heavy punch, staggered as he got up from the ground.
However, he was not discouraged, instead, he assumed a boxing stance in front of Ye Tian!
“You dare hit me!
I’ll show you!
I am a boxing expert; you’re dead meat!”
Bei Dong, in his boxing stance, appeared very arrogant.
In practical fights, he was rarely matched, and although Ye Tian had been lucky to hit him, if he put in his full effort, Ye Tian would surely be no match for him.
“A boxing expert?”
Ye Tian sneered and likewise assumed a boxer’s stance.
Liu Fei’er was surprised; she had never seen Ye Tian use boxing moves in a fight before.
Could it be that he had also learned boxing?
“You’re mimicking me, looking for trouble!”
Bei Dong couldn’t contain himself upon seeing Ye Tian deliberately imitating him.
He swung his fist hard at Ye Tian’s face!
But Ye Tian didn’t avoid the thunderous strike; he simply collided his fist with Bei Dong’s.
“Bang!”
A loud noise erupted, and Bei Dong felt like his hand bones were falling apart.
He let out a scream of agony.
If Ye Tian were at his peak, that punch would have cost Bei Dong his hand.
But because his strength hadn’t fully returned, Ye Tian had held back.
Even just a fraction of Ye Tian’s power was enough to handle Bei Dong!
“This is called boxing?”
Ye Tian let out a cold laugh and in no time stood before Bei Dong.
Startled, Bei Dong tried to hit back with his other hand, but with a light wave of his hand, Ye Tian made Bei Dong’s punching power vanish, and under his sweep, Bei Dong nearly fell over.
Ye Tian took another step forward and extended his hand; this time, it wasn’t a fist, but an open palm.
“Slap!”
A heavy slap landed on Bei Dong’s face.
Bei Dong felt a burning pain on his cheek, which swelled up from Ye Tian’s slap…
But Ye Tian didn’t stop; after landing one slap, he immediately followed with a second.
“Slap!”
The other cheek of Bei Dong swelled up from Ye Tian’s slap.
He covered his face in pain, crying out in distress.
However, Ye Tian’s face-slapping continued…
“Slap!” “Slap!” “Slap!” “Slap!”…
A series of slaps, each one hitting Bei Dong’s cheek.
After a dozen slaps, Bei Dong’s handsome face had been beaten out of shape, looking like a pig’s head.
Bei Dong had never encountered someone as ruthless as Ye Tian in his life.
Not only was Ye Tian better in a fight, but in face-slapping, he was unrivaled.
For a moment, Bei Dong was utterly dumbfounded…
