“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.” Ye Xiong wiped the corner of his mouth, pretending to be anxious.

“Hearing that Mr. Bu Zefu was coming made me so excited that I couldn’t sleep all night, and I might have caught a cold. Here, quick, wipe it off—if you get infected by me, it would be troublesome.”

Bu Zefu pulled out a tissue, disgustingly wiped his face from the spit, and really wanted to explode in anger, but considering the few million in advance payment he was about to scam, he held it back.

“Let’s just get down to business,” Bu Zefu said, pretending to be very impatient, and told Yang Xinyi, “We have a flight booked tonight, and we still need to visit another company tomorrow. There isn’t much time.”

Yang Xinyi glared fiercely at Ye Xiong and said angrily, “Aren’t you going to drive quickly?”

Ye Xiong walked to the driver’s seat with a smile. After testing Bu Zefu with a sneeze, he was even more certain that Bu Zefu was a major business scammer.

Looks like there’s going to be some extra money to be made today!

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xiong’s mouth. It was really not bad working at Xinyi Group—on the first day, he encountered a swindler.

The car quickly arrived at Xinyi Group. Accompanied by his bodyguards, Bu Zefu took a tour of the company before visiting some of the main subsidiaries and sales outlets under Xinyi Group.

By the afternoon, Ye Xiong had gained quite an understanding of his wife’s company.

You don’t realize until you see it—what a shock, I hadn’t expected my wife to be so wealthy.

The company’s business encompassed real estate, dining, hardware, fast-moving consumer goods, and other channels, with powerful financial resources. The main cooperation with Huamei United Trading Group was in the hardware industry.

It was because, in recent years, the domestic hardware industry had been generally bleak that Xinyi Group’s exports in the hardware sector had reached a bottleneck. Compared to the other sectors of the company, it earned too little and had even been operating at a loss.

That’s precisely why Yang Xinyi was so focused on this cooperation.

If they could secure this order, it might well turn around the zero-profit situation of the company’s hardware sector and equate it with the other sectors.

At three in the afternoon, the party returned to the company to begin negotiations.

“Ye Xiong, you can go out,” Yang Xinyi said.

The upcoming negotiation involved commercial secrets, so Yang Xinyi sent Ye Xiong away.

“Hank, Ma Ji, you guys go out too,” Bu Zefu waved his hand.

The two bodyguards left, but Ye Xiong did not go. Instead, he stayed and looked at Bu Zefu with a strange smile on his face.

When being introduced earlier, Yang Xinyi told Bu Zefu that Ye Xiong was her driver. At that time, Bu Zefu was very displeased. He had thought Ye Xiong was someone important to Yang Xinyi or a big shot in the company, so he did not pursue the sneeze. Had he known earlier that he was just a driver, he would have blown up then and there and given him a harsh slap.

Now this guy was provoking him with his gaze, and Bu Zefu immediately became unhappy.

“President Yang, is this the quality of your company’s employees? Where did this guy come from, does he even understand manners?”

“Ye Xiong, I told you to go out, didn’t you hear?” Yang Xinyi, seeing that Ye Xiong was still standing there, also got somewhat angry.

Seeing his wife so helpless, Ye Xiong felt it was time to give her a good lesson so that she wouldn’t be clueless the next time they encountered a scammer like this.

“Mr. Bu Zefu, we’ve been around all day today—what do you think of our company?” Ye Xiong suddenly asked.

Putting on an angry face, Bu Zefu said, “Whatever I think, I’ll tell Miss Yang Xinyi, not you, a mere driver. If you don’t leave now, I won’t sign the contract with your company.”

“Ye Xiong, get out now, do you hear me? If you don’t leave, I’m going to lose my temper!” Yang Xinyi glared furiously.

It was as if Ye Xiong hadn’t seen Yang Xinyi’s fiery gaze at all. He walked over to Bu Zefu’s side and suddenly snatched the notebook from his hand. After flipping it open and barely glancing at it, he slammed the notebook down hard on Bu Zefu’s head.

This action not only terrified Yang Xinyi, but Bu Zefu was also dumbfounded.

“President Yang has been talking for so long, and you’ve been pretending to take notes. I thought you were jotting down something important, but instead you were secretly sketching our president. If you wanted to draw, just draw. But our President Yang is as beautiful as a flower, and you’ve made her look like a complete mess.”

After speaking, Ye Xiong threw the notebook onto the table, revealing a portrait sketch of none other than Yang Xinyi.

Yang Xinyi immediately felt displeased. She had introduced everything with great effort, thinking he was taking notes, prepared to discuss further upon returning, only to find out he was secretly drawing her.

Bu Zefu, now caught, was beet red with embarrassment.

Apart from being a swindler, he had another hobby: beautiful women and sketching.

When he first met Yang Xinyi, he was captivated by her extraordinary Eastern beauty. During the journey, he just couldn’t help but secretly draw her while pretending to be all serious. Little did he know he would be exposed.

“President Yang is the most beautiful Eastern woman I have ever seen. Everyone has the love of beauty, what’s wrong with that?” Bu Zefu argued, his face stiff.

Smack, smack, smack!

Ye Xiong grabbed the notebook from the table and hit Bu Zefu three times before bursting out in anger, “How could Huamei United Trading Group employ someone as lousy as you? The company sent you out to find partners, not to pick up girls. Without taking notes, how are you going to report back to the company?”

Bu Zefu, already guilty, felt even more so after being hit by Ye Xiong and quickly explained, “I have thoroughly understood the situation of your esteemed company long ago… thoroughly in…”

“Thoroughly in mind… is that how you learned Chinese?” Ye Xiong scolded.

“Right, right, thoroughly in mind. I can prepare the materials slowly when I go back,” Bu Zefu hastily corrected himself.

“Tell me, what type of hardware does Xinyi Group’s factories mainly produce?” Ye Xiong pressed step by step.

“That, scissors, beauty sets, ovens, kitchenware…”

“Bullshit, when do we produce kitchenware?”

“Oh, kitchenware is from another company. I got it mixed up,” Bu Zefu quickly responded.

“Not only do we produce hardware kitchenware, but it’s also the most important part,” said Ye Xiong, before he suddenly laughed.

By now, even if Yang Xinyi was naive, she knew the man in front of her was definitely not there to talk business but was a complete fraudster.

The smile on her face quickly turned to frost as she asked coldly, “Mr. Bu Zefu, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

“Business is all about mutual willingness. If Miss Yang Xinyi isn’t interested in collaboration, then I shall take my leave,” Bu Zefu said, standing up.

At this moment, he knew he could no longer continue the charade and chose to make a getaway.

Just as he got to the door and was about to open it, a hand reached out and pressed down on the doorknob before him.

Ye Xiong stood in the doorway, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he said, “Mr. Bu Zefu, don’t be in such a hurry. You see, your good friend Mr. Druke and I are good friends too. He had the opportunity to eat free national food in prison, and it was all thanks to me. Don’t you want me to help you out so you can join him for some free national food?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Bu Zefu’s face drastically changed.
