Chapter 60

That man laughed heartily as he took the card: "Besides, I booked a ticket to Literature Sea for tomorrow; General Manager Xiao, if you need to deal with anyone later, find me first."

Then the man held that card in his hand, kissed it, and left in a suave manner.

"The business friendship alliance team I hastily put together on a whim actually proved useful on such a large scale." Xiao Ming picked up the USB drive after that man left, glanced at it, and smiled.

"The business friendship alliance team was established by Xiao Ming, modeled after the practices of overseas conglomerate figures."

The team members include financial magnates, stock‑trading experts, legal heavyweights, and martial arts masters.

In short, it encompasses all kinds of talent.

This time, in dealing with the Wen family, he mobilized the alliance team's strength, attacking from multiple angles and leaving the Wen Clan powerless to retaliate.

That wicked old hag Wen Fengshu got exactly what she deserved.

Taking over the Wen Clan Group this time will net a tidy profit!

Xiao Ming toyed with the USB drive in his hand, fell silent, and immediately made up his mind.

"President, a woman has come to the front desk asking to see you."

Special Assistant Xiao Feng walked into the office and reported.

"Who?" Xiao Ming asked calmly.

"Her business card."

Xiao Feng took out a business card and placed it on Xiao Ming's desk.

"This woman?" Xiao Ming blinked slightly, then nodded: "See her."

After Xiao Feng left, a charming woman soon entered: "General Manager Xiao, it's only been a few days, but it seems you haven't forgotten me."

Xiao Ming made a gesture inviting her to sit: "Few people can find me here; I didn't expect you to be so capable. Though I had originally refused to see you, after thinking it over, I appreciate your sincere effort."

"I'll thank General Manager Xiao first."

Yi Qi didn't mind at all; instead, she laughed heartily while expressing her thanks.

"I don't know why Miss Yi Qi has come to see me; what's the purpose?" Xiao Ming asked calmly.

"General Manager Xiao, you still surprise me." Yi Qi felt, her eyes full of charm never leaving Xiao Ming.

"That night at the Wen family, when I heard you say those things, I actually found them utterly ridiculous—though it was just to get your attention."

"I never expected the clown to be myself."

"General Manager Xiao's mighty conduct that night still feels fresh in my memory."

Yi Qi twisted her alluring figure as she walked to the chair and sat down, leaning slightly forward with one hand propped on Xiao Ming's desk, revealing her seductive charms to him.

Xiao Ming smiled lightly and calmly.

As for Yi Qi, he had heard some partners mention her; bluntly put, she's the kind of woman every man wants.

But that she would so eagerly throw herself into his arms surprised him.

"General Manager Xiao, you're quite ruthless—taking over the Wen Clan Group this time is brutal." Yi Qi spoke admiringly, her eyes roving up and down Xiao Ming, filled with obsession.

"Miss Yi Qi, you're well‑informed, and your news is timely." Xiao Ming smiled calmly: "If Miss Yi Qi holds Wen Clan Group shares, you might as well keep them—you never know what unexpected gains could come."

"You want to hollow out the Wen Clan Group and swallow it whole? Aren't you afraid of failing and wasting your effort?" Yi Qi felt a surge of delight and asked with a smile.

"Let's wait and see." Xiao Ming gave a faint curl of his lips, saying no more.

"Okay, I'll follow General Manager Xiao's lead." Yi Qi sat up a bit, smiling lightly: "I came to see you today because I have a bit of insider news I'd like to share."

"Wen Fengshu seems to have dealt with illicit funds, trying to use foreign investment to pull in and make a final showdown with you."

"Huh?" Upon hearing that, Xiao Ming froze for a moment.

He then took out his phone, dialed a number, and without avoiding Yi Qi's presence, made some arrangements with the contact regarding the information she brought.

After the call ended, Xiao Ming turned to Yi Qi: "The insider news you mentioned is extremely useful to me—thanks. I owe you a favor today; if you need anything later, just speak up."

"Great!" Yi Qi exclaimed delightedly, gazing at Xiao Ming as she leaned forward: "General Manager Xiao, are you free today? How about coming to my place for a drink?"

Seeing Yi Qi, Xiao Ming felt her beauty displayed before him without reserve, utterly alluring, and an inexplicable heat surged through his body.

It seemed that these days, he had not properly enjoyed life with such a stunning beauty.

He was about to nod when his WeChat chimed; opening it, he found a voice message from Wen Yuchun.

"Dad, Jingrou and I have just left Haoran Guomao; are you done with work? Do you have time later? Jingrou and I want to have a meal with you."

I had planned to go drink with Yi Qi, but without thinking I replied to Wen Yuchun: "Dad's not busy, let's eat together."

After sending the message, Xiao Ming gave Yi Qi a helpless, apologetic look.

Seeing that, Yi Qi felt a pang of disappointment, but she kept her composure, sat upright with a straight back, and smiled: "General Manager Xiao, you dote on your daughter so much—I'm envious."

"There's nothing to be done—who let that be my lover from a past life?" Xiao Ming joked, his brows full of affection.

"Looks like I'll have to reschedule our meeting." Yi Qi wasn't the type to seek trouble; saying that, she rose, suddenly lunged forward, and kissed Xiao Ming on the lips: "I'll definitely get a chance to pin you down."

After saying that, Yi Qi stood, blew him a flying kiss, and walked away with a carefree stride.

"Fortunately I have two precious daughters always by my side." Xiao Ming muttered, smiling helplessly.

Upon reflection, Xiao Ming and the several children have recognized each other for over half a month.

Wen Zhe is fine, but the two sisters, Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, seem intent on making up for the twenty‑two years of lost paternal love and missed parent‑child time they endured while separated from Xiao Ming.

The two sisters simply enjoy being with him, whether there's something to do or not.

Aside from sleeping hours, the two sisters have basically never been apart from Xiao Ming.

They either go shopping together, go hiking together, or have dinner and a stroll—living as leisurely as possible.

However, over at the Wen Clan, Wen Fengshu's life is no longer so carefree.

After a few days, Wen Fengshu has grown noticeably older; she who once had no white hair now has more than half of her hair turned white.

Not a trace remains of her former proud, spring‑like vigor.

The Wen Clan is beyond saving.

Investors have all pulled out, the bank rejected every loan application she made, the company's existing projects either cannot be launched or ongoing ones have been forced to halt, and the shareholders are in an uproar.

The Wen Clan's share price fell to nine mao, which made everyone at the Wen Clan Group panic.

Wen Fengshu thought of a plan: with domestic investment cut off, she would seek foreign investment; everything had already been agreed upon, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly backed out.

Now, Wen Fengshu truly had nowhere to turn.

In her multi-purpose hall, upon learning Xiao Ming's identity and strength, she fell into utter despair.
