Free Web NovelChapter 50: Chapter 50 Recruitment of the Real_1
Unfortunately, Ye Ming could no longer hear these words.
Mingsheng Corporation was Zhang Yang’s lifeline, and Qin Tianyu’s actions were to vent for Ye Ming as well as to get his own satisfaction.
After Zhang Yang was taken care of, Ye Ming’s gaze fell upon Li Qiaoqiao.
Without saying anything, just a look was enough to wipe the arrogance off Li Qiaoqiao’s face. Gone was her earlier pride, replaced by timidity.
Ye Ming said, "Drag this woman out too, give her the same treatment as Zhang Yang. I think after tomorrow she will become famous."
Li Qiaoqiao’s legs went weak, finally succumbing to fear. She quickly explained, "President Ye, the incident just now was a misunderstanding. As long as you spare me, I will do whatever you ask."
She approached Ye Ming with shaky steps and wrapped her arms around his, pressing her body close to his.
In a soft voice, Li Qiaoqiao said, "How about we have a chat tonight, catch up on old times? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, and there’s a lot to talk about."
Her words were thick with seduction, willing to sacrifice her body for her safety.
Ye Ming thoroughly examined Li Qiaoqiao’s body and appearance. Indeed, she was pretty among ordinary girls, with a good figure and a fine face.
If it had been before, Ye Ming would have surely been tempted.
But now, he didn’t even consider Li Qiaoqiao worth his attention. Even if she stood naked before him, Ye Ming wouldn’t give her a second glance.
"Don’t get your hopes up, you’re not worthy." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"I actually prefer your arrogant self from before. Why not bring that back?"
His brief remark inflicted great humiliation on Li Qiaoqiao. Countless men had pursued her, desiring her, but Li Qiaoqiao had always maintained her haughty demeanor, never responding to them.
This was her only time taking the initiative, yet it was met with a merciless rejection by Ye Ming, leaving her with an immense sense of defeat.
She quickly shifted her eyes, bargaining, "As long as you let me go, I can tell you anything."
Ye Ming’s expression finally changed as he asked, "What’s the matter? Is there something you haven’t told me yet?"
Li Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Actually, we were instructed by someone today to deliberately humiliate you."
Following that, Li Qiaoqiao spilled everything she knew, informing Ye Ming of it all.
Only through Li Qiaoqiao’s narrative did Ye Ming finally realize that today’s class reunion was specifically planned for him, all to humiliate him in front of these old classmates, with Li Qiaoqiao responsible for recording the video.
And the mastermind behind this was none other than Xu Ling’s brother, Xu Chao.
Hearing this, Ye Ming was somewhat surprised.
Xu Chao had just been arrested and was expected to be sentenced to three to five years. Could he really have been released so soon?
According to what Ye Ming knew, Xu Chao was involved in a hit-and-run, which was a serious offense. He couldn’t have been released after only a week. The Xuu Family must have used some means.
A cold laugh emerged from Ye Ming’s heart. Xu Chao was audacious indeed, thinking about getting at him right after being released. It seemed necessary to deal with Xu Chao once and for all.
After the charges against Xu Chao were revealed, Qin Tianyu became very angry, beating his chest and stomping his feet as he said, "A mere Xuu Family dares to target you like this, Mr. Ye. I cannot tolerate this. How about this—I’ll take care of the Xuu Family myself!"
"I’m going to teach them a lesson!"
Seeing Qin Tianyu’s fervor, Ye Ming didn’t have much to say but nodded in agreement.
With a simple phone call from Qin Tianyu, a few instructions were passed on, and then he led Ye Ming to the hotel’s most luxurious private room.
Ye Ming enjoyed the highest level of hospitality, while on the other side, at the Xu family’s dinner table, there was a seemingly harmonious atmosphere as well.
"Chen Feng is really impressive. Just a few simple words, and he managed to get Xu Chao released. I didn’t expect that at all."
Xu Ling said with a cheerful smile, clearly very happy.
Xu Daqiang and Zhang Xueping, the couple, were even happier. Xu Chao was their lifeblood, and seeing him released without charge made their hearts swell with joy.
"Yeah, we definitely need to find an opportunity to properly thank him."
"He’s brought our family back together; we must show our gratitude. I still have a bottle of Moutai. We’ll drink it when we invite them to dinner!"
Xu Daqiang said laughingly. Normally stingy, he had been hoarding a bottle of Moutai for years without the heart to drink it; his sudden generosity was surely a sign of good times.
Wang Hai, sitting in the corner of the table, felt somewhat displeased. Clearing his throat, he deliberately coughed loudly to draw the attention of the entire family.
He said, "Young Master Chen was able to help because of our Qianyang Corporation’s influence. If it weren’t for me, they definitely wouldn’t have bothered, let alone offered to help."
"That’s true, Young Master Wang also put in a lot of effort this time. Tonight, our family really should enjoy a grand meal together, and we’ll just order takeout later!" Xu Ling gave Wang Hai face as she hurriedly agreed with him.
In reality, she also looked down on Wang Hai. Her wedding had been ruined, and to this day, Ye Ming was still unharmed which annoyed her.
He turned out to be useless in the end, relying on an outsider for help. He was nothing but a strawman.
But she had to give Wang Hai face; to offend him would mean the Xu family would lose their main support, at least Wang Hai was wealthy.
Her flattery visibly pleased Wang Hai, who immediately grinned and sneakily pinched Xu Ling’s thigh: "That’s more like it. Tonight’s takeout is on me. Whatever you want to eat, just say the word. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied."
The family appeared to be in high spirits, all except for Xu Chao, whose face was clouded with gloom, periodically glancing at his phone, waiting for something to cheer him up.
He had entrusted Zhang Yang to humiliate Ye Ming and to record it on video. He wanted to ruin Ye Ming, to ensure he could never stay in Hai City ever again.
Yet, as the evening approached, his phone remained strangely quiet.
"Could something have gone wrong?" Xu Chao wondered, quickly dialing a number, only to be met with no answer.
He tried calling Li Qiaoqiao, but the result was the same—no answer.
"Damn it, they can’t even handle such a small task. Zhang Yang is such a waste. I need to check it out!"
Xu Chao stood up in a fit of rage, ready to put on his clothes and head out.
At the same time, there came a knocking from their house’s door.
Xu Chao furrowed his brows and asked, "Who is it at this late hour?"
A calm voice from outside responded, "Open up, we’re here to check the water meter!"
