Chapter 91: I Can Only Give You One Week

Ye Yaoyao deliberately teased him, and sure enough, the very next second Ye Qian could no longer stay lying down. Seeing that he was about to get up, she immediately pressed him back down.

“Second Brother, if you have something to say, say it while lying there. Don’t get up.”

“Yaoyao, do I really seem so unreliable in your eyes?”

Ye Qian felt wounded. “I honestly think I’m very steady.”

“All right, all right, Second Brother, you’re steady.”

Ye Yaoyao found her second brother rather cute when he was annoyed. “I’ll agree to the condition you just mentioned.”

“Really?”

“Really.” Ye Yaoyao nodded.

“Then it’s settled.” Ye Qian was delighted like a child.

Everyone in the Ye family was like that: icy and distant in front of outsiders, but like children in front of their own family.

After taking care of Ye Qian and preparing everything he needed, Ye Yaoyao roughly investigated the whole affair and headed for the Shen Corporation.

If she wanted to uncover something, there was nothing she could not find.

When word reached Shen Sheng that Ye Yaoyao had come, he even had the secretary prepare some pastries.

“Yaoyao’s here. Come, have a seat—”

But before he could finish, Ye Yaoyao slapped him across the face.

The sudden blow left everyone in the room stunned.

The secretary stared in astonishment, glancing from Ye Yaoyao to Shen Sheng.

That former CEO’s ex-wife was truly formidable.

Back when President Shen Yan was still in charge, she had dared to come and make a scene.

And now that the person in power had changed, she still charged in without the slightest fear.

Straight to the face, and then she hit him.

This, this, this...

The atmosphere instantly turned rigid. Ye Yaoyao’s voice was cold. “Shen Sheng, let me warn you: don’t you dare lay a hand on anyone around me. If you want trouble, come at me!”

Shen Sheng pressed his tongue against the cheek she had struck, calmly and unhurriedly sent the secretary out, and still wore that polite smile as he addressed Ye Yaoyao.

“Yaoyao, if there’s anything, let’s sit down and talk calmly.”

“Calmly?”

At his words, Ye Yaoyao could not help but laugh. “You already used such dirty tricks, and you still want to talk to me about calm?”

She stepped closer to Shen Sheng, frost filling her eyes. “Shen Sheng, I had no intention of getting involved in the matters between you and Shen Yan, but since you insist on pushing me, then I won’t hold back.”

With that, Ye Yaoyao curved her lips into a smile, like a lethal rose. “I’m getting involved in whatever is between you and Shen Yan, whether you like it or not!”

“Now that you’ve finally sat in the seat you’ve longed for, you’re so pleased with yourself you can’t see straight, aren’t you? Then just wait to be thrown off it in short order.”

After speaking, Ye Yaoyao turned to leave, but she still felt dissatisfied. She lifted her foot and kicked the pastries on the coffee table onto the floor.

Only then did she finally feel a little better.

Crash.

The loud noise spread the moment she opened the door.

Ye Yaoyao left the door wide open on purpose, making sure everyone could see Shen Sheng’s humiliation.

Having been pointed at and challenged to his face, Shen Sheng first laughed, but in the end that laughter turned cold. He kicked the sofa over with a savage motion.

The loud crash rang out again, frightening all the employees so badly that they shuddered.

At the same time, they admired Ye Yaoyao even more: the woman who could drive two CEOs to the brink of madness.

Ye Yaoyao’s storming into the Shen Corporation surprised Shen Yan, but what shocked him even more was that she had actually hit Shen Sheng.

Why would she do that?

After his surprise came concern.

Shen Sheng was a man who never let anything go. Ye Yaoyao’s slap had struck him in the dignity, and there was no way he would simply swallow it.

Why had Ye Yaoyao gone to the Shen Corporation?

Could it be that Ye Qian’s injury had something to do with Shen Sheng?

In order to ensure Ye Qian recovered well, Ye Yaoyao went back to the apartment every day to cook and bring food over, and she would also leave a portion for Shen Yan.

While Ye Yaoyao was cooking, Shen Yan walked over and asked, “I heard you hit Shen Sheng?”

“Yes. Why?”

She did not even look up.

“Did Ye Qian get hurt because of him?” Shen Yan asked cautiously.

“You’re not entirely stupid.”

Ye Yaoyao finished cutting the vegetables and put oil into the pan. “When are you planning to go back to the Shen Corporation?”

“Soon.”

Shen Yan’s eyes flickered. These days here had actually felt rather good to him.

He suddenly felt that having no work and lazing around here every day was quite pleasant.

“Need any help?”

Ye Yaoyao said bluntly, “If you can’t beat Shen Sheng, tell me. I’ll help you.”

She found that man unbearable.

“You’ll help me?”

Shen Yan smiled. “How would you help me?”

“Of course I would—”

She stopped there. She naturally had her own influence, but she did not want to expose it.

From Shen Yan’s perspective, Ye Yaoyao only had the support of the Ye family.

He, Shen Yan, did not need charity from a rival in love.

“Don’t involve the Ye family’s power in my affairs.”

Leaving those words behind, Shen Yan walked upstairs.

Ye Yaoyao could sense his anger, but she did not say anything. She merely sighed and continued cooking.

It did not matter. If she was not allowed to help openly, then she would do it in the shadows.

Behind the scenes, Ye Yaoyao quietly ruined several of Shen Sheng’s projects, and on the darker side of things, she caused him to lose a great deal of money.

With Shen Sheng having just taken the position of Shen Corporation’s president, he should have been able to develop smoothly from here on out. Instead, the management now deeply questioned his ability.

Because of the infighting within the Shen family, the Shen Corporation had already suffered considerable losses. The management was already dissatisfied, but since Shen Sheng had only just taken over and his performance in some areas had indeed been decent, they had been willing to give him a chance. Yet not only had he failed to bring in profits, he had stirred up more trouble.

This time, the management could no longer sit still and called a shareholders’ meeting, demanding that Shen Sheng give them an explanation.

“What exactly is going on with your Shen family? You said Shen Yan wasn’t capable, so you let Shen Sheng take over, but in my eyes, he seems even worse! Projects that were practically already in your mouth can still fly away—what else can’t fly away?”

“That’s right. There was never anything like this when Shen Yan was in charge!”

“It’s not just the projects. There was a huge loss on the dark side too. If you can’t handle both fronts, then go back to your old position.”

...

At the shareholders’ meeting, the various managers voiced their dissatisfaction one after another.

Bang!

Shen Sheng smashed his cup to the floor, and the conference room instantly fell silent.

His face darkened, but he forced out a smile. “Everyone, don’t worry. It’s only been how long? And they’re just a few small projects. In the future, there will be plenty of major, profitable ones.”

A bunch of old fossils. Useless at best, and now they were still pointing fingers at him. One day he would get rid of them all.

“Don’t try to feed us empty promises. We only care about benefits we can actually see.”

“Exactly! Give us a time frame. How long will it take to sort this out?”

“If you can’t handle it, then let Shen Yan come back.”

With pressure piling on from every side, Shen Sheng wanted nothing more than to kill them all, but considering their importance, he could only force a smile and deal with them.

“One month.”

“One month? We don’t have that much time to play with you. Do you know how much money will be lost in one month?”

The leading shareholder, displeased, issued the final ultimatum. “You’ve only got one week. If you can’t fix it, then get out!”
