“Wife, which one should we take?” Ye Xiong asked, pointing at two luxury cars.

“Drive the Porsche; I have a meeting with an important foreign client today. I heard you’re pretty good at English, so come with me to the airport to meet them,” Yang Xinyi said.

“Who told you my English was good?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

“Stop showing off and get in,” Yang Xinyi tossed the keys to him and walked to the back seat of the car.

Ye Xiong had never driven such an expensive luxury car before and was extremely excited as he got on, touching it here and there with a look of sheer attachment.

What a divine artifact for hooking up!

If he drove this car and parked it outside Jiangnan University, wouldn’t those pure young girls around eighteen or twenty flock to it like moths to a flame? It would be a guaranteed success every time he tried to ask one out.

Ye Xiong secretly decided that he should borrow the car more often given the chance.

“Wife, I want to discuss something with you. You know I’m the general manager of Mingyang International Hotel, and if you want me to work at your company, the position can’t be low. What job do you plan to arrange for me?” he asked.

“What do you think you’re capable of besides security work?” Yang Xinyi asked contemptuously.

“I could also…” Ye Xiong thought for a long time but couldn’t really come up with anything he could do.

Office work wouldn’t suit his personality; he couldn’t stay put. Doing something else would be too bothersome. As for being a translator, he didn’t have the patience to be a middleman. And being a CEO? Just forget about it.

After some thought, working as a hands-off security manager seemed to be the most profitable option.

“You’ll take a position as the deputy manager of the security department at the company. When there’s nothing to do, you don’t need to come to work. But when there’s a problem that cannot be solved, you need to deal with it properly. I’ll give you a monthly salary of ten thousand,” Yang Xinyi said.

“Ten thousand?” Ye Xiong was taken aback and said with contempt, “Yang Papi, aren’t you being too stingy?”

“I remember you didn’t even make four thousand a month when you worked as a construction worker at the construction site.”

“How can that be the same? Back then, I was single; now I have a wife to support,” Ye Xiong said.

“Do you think I need you to support me?” Yang Xinyi shot him a disdainful look.

“So you finally admit you’re my wife?” Ye Xiong said excitedly, patting his chest, “Just for that statement, I’d do it even without the salary.”

“Thanks for that,” Yang Xinyi gladly accepted.

Ye Xiong, with his huge mouth, thought to himself when his wife had become so shameless, she took him seriously when he was just joking.

“That… wife, I was just joking. Think about it, we’re not really husband and wife, and even if you accepted, you wouldn’t be happy about it, right?” Ye Xiong chuckled.

Yang Xinyi suddenly turned her face to the window, silent.

Ye Xiong puckered his lips, thinking how a woman’s mood is indeed as changeable as June weather. He hadn’t said anything wrong; they were in a fake marriage, that’s the reality. So why was she upset now?

The car soon arrived at the airport, and Yang Xinyi finally turned her head back, her face calm once again.

“This is the general manager of a very large company abroad. It took me a long time to arrange this meeting. This deal could be worth billions and is the largest foreign trade order our company has had in recent years. Rein in your personality and don’t mess this up for me,” Yang Xinyi said seriously.

“Understood, just pretend I’m invisible,” Ye Xiong smiled and asked, “Which country is the company from?”

“America.”

“Which company is so impressive?” Ye Xiong asked casually.

“Huamei United Trading Group.”

“What?” Ye Xiong was startled.

“Huamei United Trading Group, why, have you heard of it?”

Heard of it? He was all too familiar with it!

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly as his solemn face transformed into one of cynical nonchalance.

“Did you look into this company’s background?” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.

“I’ve already sent people abroad to investigate. The company spans tens of thousands of square meters and is located in the downtown center. It’s a rare large enterprise locally, with substantial financial and physical strength,” Yang Xinyi was explaining.

Substantial my foot, it was nothing but an empty shell.

During his time in Dragon Soul, Ye Xiong had encountered a cross-border commercial fraudster and investigated his background. He eventually found out that the man was from Huamei United Trading Group and thus pursued its lineage.

What he didn’t expect was that the investigation revealed this famously large company, with tens of thousands of square meters in local presence, to be an empty shell with disastrous finances, hundreds of billions in debt.

In America, many people knew about this, but in Huaxia, few were aware. Numerous companies had fallen victim, swindled by a mirage. It was unexpected that Yang Xinyi had also encountered them.

It wasn’t really Yang Xinyi’s fault. The blame lay with the cunning nature of the company, which seemed to have significant connections locally. After Ye Xiong’s investigation, the organization had even lodged a diplomatic protest with America, thinking the company had been shut down, only to find it was still operational.

Clearly, this company’s ties with the local government were anything but ordinary.

Since he had encountered it tonight, he might as well take care of this matter properly.

“What’s the name of the person coming today?”

“Bu Zefu, the company’s representative stationed in Huaxia. Be careful with what you say later on, don’t offend anyone,” Yang Xinyi warned seriously.

The car stopped at the airport, where Yang Xinyi held up a sign with English words like ‘Warmly Welcome Bu Zefu’ while waiting.

Within fifteen minutes, a man in his forties, short and pot-bellied, stepped out.

Following closely behind him were two African giants over one meter ninety, clearly his bodyguards. The entourage indeed had an imposing look that demanded respect.

A company representative with two special forces bodyguards was not something many companies could boast.

“You must be Miss Yang Xinyi. You are truly beautiful, and it’s an honor to meet you,” Bu Zefu’s eyes lit up when he saw Yang Xinyi, like a wolf sighting meat.

Then, he spread his arms wide, preparing to give Yang Xinyi a big hug.

Having heard a bit about these foreigners’ customs, Yang Xinyi, although reluctant, managed to suppress her disgust and gently leaned in.

But just then, a figure stepped in front of her, arms open wide in welcome and with fluent English replied, “Dear Mr. Bu Zefu, it is such an honor to meet you. Welcome to the beautiful country of Huaxia.”

Although Yang Xinyi had heard that Ye Xiong could speak English, she never expected him to be this fluent. Such standard pronunciation could only come from someone who had frequent interactions abroad.

This guy, had he been overseas? He was getting more and more mysterious.

“And who might this gentleman be?” Bu Zefu was annoyed but couldn’t refuse Ye Xiong’s enthusiasm and was about to reciprocate when suddenly a thunderous sneeze erupted.

Ye Xiong let out a huge sneeze, spraying saliva all over Bu Zefu’s face.

That scared Yang Xinyi out of her wits.
