Something Was Missing

The smile in Wang Yixue's eyes deepened.

She said happily, "Since even you think highly of it, I'll invest in this project. But I'm still hesitating. The partner I'm currently considering is France's Fals Company. I just have a feeling this company can't be trusted."

"Maybe you're overthinking it? I've dealt with this company before. They're incredibly strong in new energy research. If we cooperate with them and obtain the latest technology, we won't have to worry about making money."

Tang Yu said with a solemn face.

Is this silly girl's intuition really that sharp? Fals Company does have problems, but Ye Chen already covered them all up.

Their fake accounting and tax evasion won't be exposed until some time later.

As for the new energy technology they boast about, it isn't mature yet. There are huge safety issues. To put it bluntly, it's a goddamn scam company.

Ye Chen is vicious too. He actually spent billions buying shares to control this crappy company, all to set up a trap for the Wang Family.

Wang Yixue was almost unable to hold back her laughter.

She felt that she had completely mastered the proper way to use Tang Yu, as though she held a remote control in her hand.

As long as she pressed the remote, this guy would react!

"Fine. If even you're so certain, then there shouldn't be any problem. I'm planning to hand this project over to Rulong. Do you think he has what it takes to handle it?"

She looked at Tang Yu and asked again.

"Rulong is one of Suhang's most renowned geniuses. With his talent, there's absolutely no problem."

Tang Yu praised him with all his might, thrilled inside.

It's back. It's all back. Everything is finally fucking normal again!

Letting Wang Rulong take over this crappy project means it's settled. If you don't let him handle it, how will he cover up the project's problems?

If I remember right, that Vice President Li at your company and Wang Rulong are as close as two legs in the same pair of pants. He knows about this too. Wang Rulong gave him a hundred million in kickbacks, and he deliberately helped throw out smokescreens.

Wang Yixue narrowed her eyes. Vice President Li?

There was only one Vice President Li in the company, Li Deshen, and he had been there for thirty years.

Because he was capable and loyal to the Wang Family, he was deeply trusted by them.

He had been vigorously supporting this new energy project all along, and had spoken with her several times, saying this project was enough to sustain the Wang Family's development for twenty years!

After arranging all the cosmetics on the table, Tang Yu said coldly.

"I've finished tidying everything up. You can let me go now, right?"

"Mm, not bad. You can go." Wang Yixue smiled happily.

Tang Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at her phone, clearly asking whether she still had not deleted the photos and videos.

"Why are you looking at me? I already deleted the photos and videos. Check if you don't believe me. Do you think keeping that stuff would bring me any glory?"

Wang Yixue pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Right, they absolutely have to be deleted. I will never allow a beauty like you to have her reputation ruined by a scumbag like me."

Tang Yu nodded hard, turned around, and bolted.

Goddamn it, he had finally escaped Wang Yixue's clutches!

After rapidly running out of the Wang Family estate, the first thing Tang Yu did upon getting into his car was play some music to celebrate.

"The most beautiful flower on the grassland, the fiery Sarilang!"

Tang Yu hummed along, feeling absolutely wonderful.

After working hard all day, he had finally shoved the plot back onto its proper track!

This way, Wang Yixue would definitely follow the plot and eventually get together with Ye Chen!

Jiang Xiaoyue was a little off.

But Ye Chen had already said he was going to the Jiang Family to challenge her grandfather. Their story probably had to start from there.

As for Su Muyue.

That woman was practically wearing the same pair of pants as Ye Chen!

Worthy of being the first female lead! To protect Ye Chen, she had even been willing to put on an act and enter into a marriage alliance with him!

Brilliant! Truly brilliant!

Unfortunately, compared to a master of lying low like him, she was still missing something.

These wise eyes of his had already seen through everything!

Once Ye Chen got them into his hands, wouldn't that little misunderstanding with him be cleared up?

"OK, work hours are over. It's time for the villain to return to his own life."

Tang Yu stepped on the gas, and the car shot onto the road. He was going to properly experience the life of a rich man!

Donghai Group.

President's Office.

Su Muyue was sitting at her desk reviewing a document.

It was a newly invested real estate project for the company, requiring roughly ten billion in funding. For the Su Family, it counted as a medium-sized project.

Her female secretary stood beside her, occasionally stealing glances at Su Muyue's stunning profile.

As a beauty herself, she always felt ashamed of her own inferiority when standing beside Su Muyue.

They were both women, so why could some women be so perfect?

Just like her name—Muyue.

"It's already six. Aren't you getting off work yet?"

Su Muyue, who had been reviewing the document, suddenly looked up and asked her secretary.

"Huh?"

The secretary was slow to react, then smiled awkwardly. "I didn't hear anyone knock, so I thought it was still early."

By convention, whenever work ended at six, that young master from the Tang Family would come knocking to pick President Su up for dinner.

For three whole years, as long as neither of them was on vacation, Young Master Tang would definitely come.

Of course, President Su had never agreed.

That unintentional remark left Su Muyue feeling somewhat lost.

She glanced at the office door.

Yes, by convention, that man should have come knocking by now.

Normally, she found his relentless pestering irritating.

But today, when she did not hear it, she felt strangely unaccustomed to it, as though something were missing.

"President Su, I heard you and Young Master Tang got engaged? Congratulations, you're finally together. I'll get off work first, then."

After packing up her things, the secretary offered her blessings with a smile.

Su Muyue gave a soft mm, instantly losing all desire to continue working. She just felt as though something was clogging her chest.

A marriage alliance? Marriage alliance, my ass. She already knew what that guy was thinking.

He had clearly liked her for three years, yet now he said he did not like her anymore just because he said so.

That made her feel a little wronged.

Of course, she knew she could not blame him. After all, she truly had ignored him for three years.

"What's wrong with me?"

Su Muyue rubbed her head, picked up her bag, and left the office.

After she walked out, the employees who had not yet left greeted her one after another.

"Hello, President Su."

"President Su, you've worked hard."

"President Su, are you off work? I heard you and Young Master Tang are together. Congratulations, congratulations."

Seeing all those fervent smiling faces made the tightness in her chest even worse.

She knew that these people at the company disliked her behind her back. They had even given her the nickname Iceberg.

"Are you all not tired of wearing masks every day?"

She thought of Tang Yu again.

At least she could hear his inner thoughts.

In this world where everyone wore masks, let alone a mask, he was practically running around naked.
