Chapter 99: What am I lacking compared to him?

"Qianqian, what is so good about him? In what way am I inferior to him? Why are you women all like this?" Wang Yu gritted his teeth.

"This is only your first time meeting, don't act so intimate. Is 'Qianqian' something you can call her? Do you believe that if you dare to call her that again, I'll slap you across the face?" Chen Yu glanced at Wang Yu coldly.

Wang Yu gave a start and hurriedly retreated a few steps, putting some distance between himself and Chen Yu, because Chen Yu's gaze was too terrifying; he was truly afraid that Chen Yu would beat him up.

"What do you have? What are you putting on airs for? I am a dignified executive of a listed company with an annual income of five million. Why would she take a fancy to you? What do you have?" Wang Yu's eyes were red.

"An annual income of five million, is that a lot?" Chen Yu looked at this fellow as if he were looking at a freak.

Indeed, for an ordinary person, they might not be able to earn that much money in a lifetime, but Chen Yu was the president of Jiyun, a major shareholder of Tianyun, and a partner at the Jiye Club; his net worth added up to several billion. Had Chen Yu ever been proud?

"Is it not a lot? You won't be able to earn this much in your entire life." Wang Yu sneered: "I have several properties, a villa, and a Porsche Macan. Do you have them? You probably couldn't even afford to pay for one of my cars in installments."

"Save it. My Chen Yu lives at Biyue Lake in a villa over a thousand square meters. All your assets combined wouldn't be enough to buy half of it." Ye Qian gripped Chen Yu's arm even tighter, as if Chen Yu were truly her boyfriend.

"Impossible, the villas there cost several hundred million." Wang Yu was stunned; he simply did not believe it.

"Alright, there's no need to make him believe it." Chen Yu smiled: "Which listed company are you an executive at?"

"Shuangcheng Technology, you've heard of it, right?" Wang Yu said proudly.

"Oh, IT, no wonder you're bald at this age." Chen Yu nodded: "A subsidiary of the Xia Group, right?"

"Yes." Wang Yu snorted, looking even more smug.

"Xia Tian, you have a company under you called Shuangcheng Technology, right? There's an executive named Wang Yu?" Chen Yu sent a voice message to Xia Tian.

"Yeah, what's up, Chen Yu?" Xia Tian replied with a message.

"I don't like him," Chen Yu said.

"Understood, I'll have him get lost immediately."

"Who are you talking to?" Wang Yu was taken aback.

"The young master of the Xia Group, Xia Tian." Chen Yu smiled: "You wouldn't happen to not know him, would you?"

"That is our President Xia. Our company is under his responsibility. You know him?" Wang Yu looked incredulous.

"If I say I know him, you certainly won't believe it." Chen Yu laughed.

"Heh, our President Xia is the future heir of the Xia Group with a net worth of tens of billions. What kind of thing are you to be able to know our President Xia?" Wang Yu naturally did not believe it.

"Then just wait and see." Chen Yu didn't care; this fellow wouldn't even be able to cry in a moment anyway: "Qianqian, let's go."

"Putting on airs. You women don't like excellent men like me, you just like this kind of trash." Wang Yu spat: "Missing out on a man like me is your loss. Just you wait, you will definitely regret it."

Before he had finished cursing, his phone suddenly rang; it was the big boss of his company calling.

"Hello, Li Zong. Is something the matter?" Wang Yu's expression tightened as he hurriedly answered the phone.

"Wang Yu, you are suspected of selling company trade secrets to competitors and reselling company assets. The board of directors has now decided to fire you and report the case to the public security organs. Come back and explain your issues clearly." A stern voice came from the phone.

"Li Zong, I've been wronged!" Wang Yu was shocked: "This is a frame-up, someone is setting me up."

"That's enough, Wang Yu. Everyone knows what you've done. We didn't expose you before out of consideration for you being a company veteran, but this time it was President Xia Tian himself who ordered the investigation. I cannot protect you; you're on your own." After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a *snap*.

"How could this happen?" Wang Yu was almost crying. He had slogged for over a decade to finally see the company go public and become an executive, but before his seat was even warm, he had been brought down. Not only would he lose his current status and income, but he was also highly likely to go to jail.

"It's Chen Yu, is it really him?" Wang Yu gave a start. He suddenly remembered the call Chen Yu had made. Could it be that he really knew Xia Tian?

*Vroom! * A Mercedes-Benz G-Class roared past him, and inside were none other than Chen Yu and Ye Qian.

Wang Yu flopped down onto the ground, unable to even cry. The man really had connections; he had messed with the wrong person this time.

"Qianqian, how did the blind date go?" On the road, Wang Xueqin called.

"Mom, don't introduce this kind of trash to me ever again." Ye Qian said angrily: "He was simply a freak."

"What's wrong with him? He's just a few years older than you, but his ability and income are right there. I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful." Wang Xueqin said angrily.

"Heh, yeah, he looks like an alpaca, his head and neck are the same thickness. He started planning the future without saying a word, wanting me to give him a son, take care of his paralyzed mother and senile father, and I have to be self-reliant and earn my own money."

"What does he take me for? Even a nanny gets paid. So I'm supposed to give him a son and take care of his parents for nothing? I'll say it clearly now: I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than find someone like that." Ye Qian said angrily.

"Why are you being so disobedient, girl? You're not even coming home and are just fooling around outside? He has money, so what if he has a few more requirements?" Wang Xueqin shrieked.

"Then you go marry him! You're not much older than him anyway. I'm staying at my sister's house now, don't bother me again. I'm not coming home." Ye Qian hung up the phone in a rage.

Chen Yu looked at Ye Qian, feeling depressed. Wasn't she drawing the fire onto him?

"Brother-in-law, I'm staying at your place for a long time, you won't kick me out, will you?" Ye Qian giggled.

"No, treat it as your home from now on. Stay as long as you want." Chen Yu gave a bitter smile.

"Hee hee, you said it yourself. You aren't allowed to find me annoying later." Ye Qian laughed.

"I won't." Chen Yu shook his head.

"Chen Zong, the matter of contracting the medicinal fields is almost settled. Let's go to Yaoshan now and finalize things." Song Mengyan's call came through.

"Alright, I'm heading over now." Chen Yu nodded.

"Brother-in-law, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go home by myself." Ye Qian said obediently.

"Alright then, take your time." Chen Yu pulled the car to the side of the road. After Ye Qian got out, he drove off to pick up Song Mengyan, and the two went to Yaoshan together.

"Chen Zong, everything has been negotiated. Director Li of the Yaoshan area intends to sign the contract with us. Thirty thousand mu of medicinal fields, a total contract price of fifty million per year for five years. This is the detailed content, would you like to take a look?" Song Mengyan said in the car.

"No need, just keep a good eye on it." Chen Yu smiled: "As long as there are people to plant our medicine, that's fine."

"That goes without saying. Every area will plant the medicine we specify, and eighty percent of the annual yield must be provided to us first. Furthermore, I plan to build a Chinese medicine cultivation research center there and invest research funds every year. This proposal has received support from above."

Song Mengyan paused and said: "It's just that I'm worried we won't be able to consume such a large volume."

"How is the social response to the new medicines?" Chen Yu asked.

"Very good. I've already planned to expand the production lines and build several new pharmaceutical factories." Song Mengyan smiled.

"Then there's no problem. Trust me, we can consume it. Besides, there's no time to expand production lines; just acquire the surrounding pharmaceutical factories directly." Chen Yu said.

"Alright, I'll listen to Chen Zong." Song Mengyan nodded, then her face turned red: "About last time... thank you. But Siyu has some misunderstandings about our relationship now. I'll explain it clearly to her later."

At the thought of how proactive she had been last time, Song Mengyan's face burned. The two of them had shared an intimate moment; she could remain calm when discussing work, but whenever they chatted, she felt the relationship between them was somewhat subtle.

"That's fine, it was just a small favor." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Soon, the two arrived at the Yaoshan Village Committee, but Director Li Xiangqi, whom they had an appointment with, was not there. In the village committee office, there was another group of uninvited guests.

"Hello, is Director Li Xiangqi in?" Song Mengyan asked.

"He's not here, he went out of town for a meeting today. You must be from Tianyun Pharmaceuticals, right? Our Hu Ge will talk to you." A small-time thug wearing a tank top, his arms covered in dense tattoos, walked up with a slouching, insolent gait.
