Chapter 37 Strike while the iron is hot
Ye Cheng looked at her innocently: "Grandma, you forcibly kidnapped me, didn't you?"
What purpose could I have?
Your Shen Group has probably already thoroughly investigated me.
You probably already know me very well.
As for why I'm willing to risk my life to protect you, isn't this the answer you've been looking for?
Shen Qingrou suddenly stood up from her office chair: "You're playing me!"
Ye Cheng looked at Shen Qingrou with deep eyes: "Do you want me to dig out my heart and show it to you?"
Shen Qingrou curled her lips into a smile, slowly walked behind Ye Cheng, gently pressed her body against his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "No need to dig out my heart. As long as you can endure me whipping you every day, I will believe that you are willing to die for me."
Ye Cheng's lips twitched: "Then I might as well just rip out your heart and give it to you."
Suddenly, without warning, Shen Qingrou bit Ye Cheng's neck: "Why do I always like to bite you? Does your flesh and blood possess some kind of magic?"
Ye Cheng secretly channeled his inner strength, making his blood vessels incredibly tough and unbreakable: "I want to know why you lack a sense of security so much?"
Shen Qingrou suddenly clenched her teeth, and the skin on her neck made a crunching sound, as if she were biting into rubber.
Ye Cheng's strength has been restored, and he no longer needs to be wary of Shen Qingrou as he was a few days ago.
Therefore, he continued, "Last time your stepmother came to the hotel, I could tell there was a problem between you two."
You keep avoiding the topic, and I don't think that's a good solution.
We are now husband and wife in name only, and we should stand together against a common enemy.
Otherwise, if you suspect me and I suspect you, it'll be too exhausting to continue living like this.
Shen Qingrou ground her teeth: "Do you know that biting someone's neck can kill them?"
Ye Cheng said seriously, "Don't change the subject."
Shen Qingrou used a bit more force: "Heh, you're quite tolerant."
Ye Cheng sighed: "You're being really boring. What's the point of this other than leaving me with a wound?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Shen Qingrou's soft waist.
As the itch intensified, Shen Qingrou couldn't help but loosen her teeth and giggle twice.
"Can you answer my question now?" Ye Cheng turned around and looked at Shen Qingrou seriously.
Shen Qingrou keenly sensed that Ye Cheng seemed to have changed from before.
"You're so smart, how could you not see it? I don't need to tell you," Shen Qingrou said.
This is a clever way of putting it; it seems like it doesn't answer anything, but in reality it says a lot.
Ye Cheng said thoughtfully, "The better you perform, the more disadvantageous it will be for your half-brother."
Your stepmother will try to sabotage you in order to help your brother rise to power.
Therefore, in order to save your life, you have to hide your talents and pretend to be cynical and irresponsible.
"Well, whether you admit it or not, that's what I think."
Ye Cheng suddenly remembered something, rubbed his chin and said "Oh no", then pondered, "We created such a big trending topic today, it will definitely attract your stepmother's attention."
I know why you looked so worried when you came back.
After hiding her true abilities for so long, she showed her wisdom today in order to cooperate with me.
Perhaps she's worried that her stepmother will discover the truth and harm you.
Shen Qingrou looked at Ye Cheng quietly, her face calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
She was unsure how to face Ye Cheng now—whether to bravely take that step or continue to be an ostrich, burying her head in the desert and comforting herself.
"So, how are you going to protect me?" Shen Qingrou asked calmly.
Neither admitting nor denying.
Ye Cheng looked at Shen Qingrou with sincere eyes: "Do you believe me?"
Shen Qingrou shook her head honestly: "I don't believe it."
Ye Cheng smiled speechlessly: "I can only show it through my actions."
Shen Qingrou didn't make any comment, giving a "do as you please" attitude.
Ye Cheng wheeled himself away from Shen Qingrou's office.
Outside the living room, Wang Jingjing stood holding her phone. Upon seeing Ye Cheng, she hurried over and said, "Liu Yue spent a whole hour confessing in the live stream, recounting every little detail of your university days."
She wants to meet with you and apologize to you publicly.
After listening, Ye Cheng said with certainty, "She has someone backing her up."
If they were truly sincere, why apologize in public? They would have called long ago.
This is because too many fans have left, so they're trying to salvage the situation and find ways to do something about it.
Ignore her.
By the way, how was the harvest this time?
Wang Jingjing immediately perked up: "My followers have surpassed 50,000!"
Ye Cheng asked with great interest, "Are you interested in live-streaming e-commerce?"
Wang Jingjing said matter-of-factly, "Isn't the ultimate goal of being a live streamer to sell products via live streaming?"
Ye Cheng pointed her in a direction: "First, promote the Qingrou Hotel."
I stayed here for a while and found that the environment was quiet and the scenery was beautiful, making it a great place for couples to go on dates.
Not far from the hotel is Qingyuan Mountain, which is 2,000 meters above sea level, and Shantao Village is located in Qingyuan Mountain.
While you're here, you can also pay your respects at the mountain god temple.
If any new fans are unfamiliar with the wonders of the mountain temple, please tell them my story.
Wang Jingjing nodded excitedly: "I'll go take some photos of the hotel now and post them online."
We'll start broadcasting after lunch.
However, the streamer's job is to offer benefits to the fans. If they book a hotel through me, what kind of discount can they get?
This matter required Shen Qingrou to make the final decision, but after thinking about it, Ye Cheng decided that he should take the lead.
"Any fan who books a room will receive a 30% discount."
You can tell your fans that you only offered a 20% discount, and the remaining 10% profit is your commission.
"No one gets up early without a reason," this proverb suggests that Wang Jingjing might not promote the show if she doesn't receive some benefits.
Wang Jingjing was very honest: "Mr. Ye has helped me so much, how could I accept any payment!"
Just give the fans a 20% discount.
Ye Cheng disagreed: "How can that be? One thing at a time. It's settled then. I'll print out the contract later, and we'll both sign it."
Wang Jingjing was surprised that Ye Cheng would value it so much, and immediately felt a sense of pride.
Shen Qingrou took a day off today and did not go to work at headquarters.
After lunch, Ye Cheng went to her office again and handed her the contract that Wang Jingjing had signed: "I've negotiated a business deal, please have President Shen sign it."
Shen Qingrou, who was in a daze, came back to her senses and looked at Ye Cheng in confusion: "You didn't even leave the hotel, what business did you discuss?"
Ye Cheng gestured for her to look at it before speaking. Shen Qingrou glanced at it and said, "She just endorsed you in Liu Yue's live stream today. If you let her endorse the hotel, won't that arouse suspicion from others?"
Do you suspect that we orchestrated this all along?
Ye Cheng said, "Wang Jingjing's identity cannot withstand investigation by those with ulterior motives."
Rather than letting others expose it, we should take the initiative.
The business world is full of deceit and treachery; who can truly understand it?
The most important thing is profit.
If there's a bargain to be had, who cares about anything else?
We must take advantage of the current buzz surrounding this matter and help Wang Jingjing leverage this surge in attention to complete her career transformation.
Furthermore, I think we should sign Wang Jingjing as soon as possible to prepare for the next step of our plan.
