Super Soldier-Chapter 454 - Ye Xiaoxi's Trouble
Chapter 454 Ye Xiaoxi’s Trouble
When Yezi came back with Xiao Bing, she had a wide, sincere smile, which could be seen from her nose, her eyes, and her mouth.
She was really happy and she could feel Xiao Bing also loved her sincerely.
Was there anything in the world more enjoyable than knowing that a person whom you loved, also loved you?
When they arrived home, Liu Xiaorui, Maggie, Zhan Hongyan and Su Xiaoxiao were already tired of playing in the yard and were going in to sleep. They were just playing the rubber band skipping game. At this time, except for Zhan Hongyan, everyone was sweating. After all, their physical qualities were not like that of Zhan Hongyan, a martial arts master. This amount of exercise was just a piece of cake for Zhan Hongyan.
Seeing Xiao Bing and Yezi coming in, Maggie said unhappily, “It’s not wise to play with sister Hongyan. We can’t beat her… You are holding hands and smiling, which is so cruel to singles like us.”
Su Xiaoxiao also smiled with a trace of imperceptible sadness in her eyes.
Maggie grinned and said, “Well, the blushing face of Yezi is exposing something. Tell me quickly. Have you been nourished by love?”
Among the people present, except Liu Xiaorui who was six, Maggie, just 13 or 14 years old, was the youngest. However, she was the only one who dared to say anything.
Yezi had not always been a girl who refused to admit to being inferior. She was witty, so she could bully others, but was reluctant to be bullied. After hearing Maggie’s words, she immediately said with a smile, “Yes, let me also nourish you.”
With this, she released Xiao Bing’s hand and rushed toward Maggie. She quickly grabbed Maggie, who was just about to escape and tickled her, which made Maggie laugh incessantly, and even made her burst into tears as she begged for mercy.
Xiao Bing looked at them and saw Liu Xiaorui yawning. He held Liu Xiaorui and said with a smile, “You keep doing your crazy stunts. Xiaorui is sleepy. She has to get up to go to kindergarten tomorrow morning. I will take her to bed first.”
“Since you are begging for mercy, I will let you go.” Yezi walked over and said, “I’ll go to sleep too.”
Maggie wiped her tears and made a face at Yezi’s back.
After entering the room, Xiao Bing put Liu Xiaorui down. Liu Xiaorui suddenly turned her head. She pulled Yezi’s arm, looked at her curiously, and asked, “Sister-in-law, why did you blush when sister Maggie said that you were nourished by my brother’s love?”
“Ah…” Yezi did not expect Liu Xiaorui to ask that, but Liu Xiaorui was still young. Children of six years old were ignorant about all these facts. Yezi blushed again.
“Ah. Why is sister-in-law’s face turning red again?”
Yezi saw Xiao Bing laughing, then she immediately pinched Xiao Bing angrily. Xiao Bing snorted and saw that Yezi was glaring at him. Her eyes seemed to be complaining because Xiao Bing laughed at her, instead of helping her out, when she was embarrassed.
Xiao Bing hurriedly picked Liu Xiaorui up and put her down after swinging her around, which made Liu Xiaorui giggle. Xiao Bing also said with a smile, “Don’t ask about it. You need to get up early and go to school tomorrow morning. Go to sleep quickly.”
“Ah, Little Huarui needs a bath.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Just let your sister-in-law take a bath with you.”
Liu Xiaorui took Yezi’s arm and said, “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”
Yezi gave Xiao Bing a warning look, then took Liu Xiaorui and walked into the bathroom, with a smile.
Xiao Bing laid down on the bed and read a magazine for a while. Yezi and Liu Xiaorui came out after taking a bath. Xiao Bing looked up and saw that Liu Xiaorui had changed into her pajamas, but Yezi was dressed neatly, and wearing the clothes she usually wore for going out. Xiao Bing was stunned and asked, “Are you going out?”
“Yes,” Yezi said helplessly, “Sister Li just called me from the company.”
“What’s the matter with the company?”
“There is something urgent that needs my attention. Don’t worry. It’s just an insignificant matter,” Yezi said with a smile, “Brother Bing, you accompany Little Huarui to sleep at home. I will come back later.”
Xiao Bing hesitated a little. Yezi smiled casually, but Xiao Bing knew Yezi very well. Yezi must have something on her mind these days, and it must be related to her work.
Yezi did not want him to know about it, just like he did not want her to be worried about the dangerous things he encountered. But it was different in Xiao Bing’s opinion. A man should not make his woman worried, while a woman should allow her man to protect her.
Xiao Bing did not say what he was thinking. but even though Liu Xiaorui was so young, yet she was very sensible. She held Yezi’s hand and said, “It’s so late. Let my brother take you to the company. Brother, don’t forget to send sister in law. I’ll go to the room of sister Maggie to sleep.”
Xiao Bing smiled happily and said, “Sweet dreams, Little Huarui.”
After Little Huarui left the room, Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Do you have any reason to refuse me now? Let’s go. Let me accompany you.”
“OK.”
Xiao Bing and Yezi walked out of the Xiao Mansion. Yezi said, “Let’s go to the Hospital of Jiang City.”
Xiao Bing drove directly to the hospital and asked with a smile, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”
Yezi rolled her eyes at Xiao Bing. Although Xiao Bing did not see it, she thought for a while and said, “There’s something wrong with the company recently.”
Xiao Bing said, “It must not be a small matter?”
“Yes.” Yezi sighed and said, “The company is in a bit of trouble for the time being. Our company intends to buy a piece of land in City Ha, which is very important for the whole group, because we have inside dope that the government of City Ha is about to develop this city into the largest entertainment city in the country. At that time, many art schools will be built in the city, and large-scale investments will be expected. It is clear that our country is developing very fast in recent years and the economic situation is also very positive. However, in the current situation, many industries have encountered bottlenecks in the market. When my father was alive, the company operated well. Anyway, I am not as smart as my father.”
“So, in this context, if City Ha suddenly emerged, somebody who has a large slice of the pie, would probably break the bottleneck. The news was originally confidential. I learned of it by chance from my father’s old friend.”
“With our company’s power, it’s not hard to bid for this land. The biggest competitor is a real estate company in City Ha. The power of this company is a little inferior to our company. Since we are the companies in Hei Province, our Ye Group also has contacts and influence in City Ha. They are not a local bully. We thought that we will certainly win, but I never thought that another company from another province would come out. Although it is not a local company, it seems that it does not intend to directly get involved in the competition, but they fully support our competitor. They would rather offend our company and help this real estate company.”
Xiao Bing said, “If what you say is true, it’s likely that they got inside dope, otherwise they will not have competed so strongly with you.”
“I think so, too.” Yezi smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not that I’m arrogant. The Ye group has grown into one of the top business groups in our country under my father’s management. If it’s not for enough benefits, they will not offend me publicly for this land. However, I can understand that. After all, struggling in the business is just like fighting on the battlefield. Even the past opponents can become present partners, because there are never everlasting friends or hostility in business, only enough interests.”
Xiao Bing exclaimed. “Yezi, you have made great progress.”
Yezi said helplessly, “Do you think I want this kind of progress? As for this kind of business competition, although our company has to face two opponents, it’s not frightening. After all, it’s just normal business competition… In recent days, someone has been creating trouble at several branches of our company, frequently. Some people deliberately had conflicts with the company’s employees, and finally quarreled and it even developed into a fight, which made the whole company panic. Just now, Sister Li called me and said that there was a fire in a warehouse belonging to our company, in the suburbs, and the whole warehouse was burned. Three staff guarding the warehouse were hurt, two of them were only slightly injured, and one is now in the operating room undergoing an operation. I hope he will be fine…”
Yezi looked gloomy.
Xiao Bing became solemn and asked in a low voice, “You are suspecting that… it is related to the company that is competing with you? They are coming up with schemes and intrigues, secretly?”
Yezi sighed and said, “I can’t say it for sure, but it is possible.”
Xiao Bing hit the steering wheel and the horn sounded. Xiao Bing said angrily, “How dare they do such a thing. No matter who did this secretly, don’t they know who your man is? Don’t they know whose territory the underground world of Hei Province is? Those people don’t want to live!”
Yezi hurriedly advised him. “It cannot be solved by using force in this business. It should be solved by commercial means, or it would be troublesome if someone knows about our illegal behavior.”
Xiao Bing controlled his anger and said, “I just don’t understand how someone can be so bold.”
Yezi sighed and said with a wry smile, “Brother Bing, if you know which is the company from another province is, you may understand it.”
Xiao Bing thought a while and suddenly thought of a possibility, but he did not say it. Instead, he asked, “Who is it?”
“Lu Fan of the Lu Family in Jinghai Province.”
