Chapter 423
Xiao Linye had already arrived at the Xiao Corporation’s underground garage.Qin Jinchuan’s call came through, and he answered directly, "Hello."
"You were right, that woman is very cunning," Qin Jinchuan’s infuriated voice came from the other end of the line.
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "What did she do to you?"
"She opened a restaurant overnight."
"How does that relate to you?"
Opening a restaurant overnight... Xiao Linye couldn’t fathom how that could possibly be related to Qin Jinchuan. Was it because she was too capable? It’s just a restaurant; it doesn’t prove anything. It’s easy to start one, but keeping it running isn’t so simple.
When Xiao Linye asked if it was related to him, Qin Jinchuan grew even more furious. "How could it not be related? Do you know what she named the restaurant?"
Xiao Linye, while taking documents from the car and heading towards the elevator, asked, "What is it called?"
Qin Jinchuan exclaimed, "Jerk! And underneath, there’s a small red seal. If you look closely, it’s engraved with the character ’Qin’ in white!"
Xiao Linye was silent.
Qin Jinchuan, fuming, continued, "What does this woman mean? Is she trying to mock me with this?"
Xiao Linye replied, "At this juncture, I believe that’s precisely her intention!"
This time, it was Qin Jinchuan who was left speechless.
How had he never realized this woman was so capable? Opening a restaurant overnight and naming it ’Jerk’? How on earth did she come up with that?
Seeing Qin Jinchuan too angry to speak, Xiao Linye said, "This is her counterattack against you. You can’t blame her; I did warn you not to provoke her."
He’s getting all worked up now, but who was it again that wanted to invite her to the Green Tea Restaurant yesterday? However, Xiao Linye gained a new level of understanding about that woman. Don’t provoke her lightly. Otherwise, her retaliation might come at any cost... Opening a restaurant overnight was no joke. Only one night had passed, and that woman had already succeeded in thoroughly aggravating Qin Jinchuan. It was clear her methods were far from ordinary.
Hearing this, Qin Jinchuan grew displeased and retorted irritably, "The Green Tea Restaurant already existed! How did I provoke her?"
As for how he’d subtly jabbed at Ye Yuning the previous day, Qin Jinchuan was currently fuming. He completely disagreed with her retaliating by making such insinuations about him.
Xiao Linye said, "Then there’s nothing wrong with her opening a restaurant called ’Jerk’. Don’t overthink it."
Qin Jinchuan shot back, "How could I be overthinking it? She’s clearly targeting me!"
Xiao Linye said nothing.
"And she even went so far as to name her restaurant ’Jerk’! I’d like to see if that place even gets any customers!"
Would anyone even eat at a place like that?
The more Qin Jinchuan thought about it, the angrier he became. This woman was being completely unreasonable! Opening a restaurant requires a huge investment! She was just an adopted daughter of the Ye Family, with no real status. She’d barely earned a little from design fees, and she was using it all, sparing no effort, just to get under his skin?
"You don’t need to worry about that," Xiao Linye said.
"Right, I’m not worried. I’m just furious that damn woman is using such tactics to make insinuations about me," Qin Jinchuan fumed.
Xiao Linye remained quiet.
"Just wait until I get a chance to fix her good!" Qin Jinchuan ground out, his teeth clenched.
He wanted to tear that woman limb from limb right now!
"Can you believe a woman like her actually found someone to marry her back then? Was the guy blind or something?" Qin Jinchuan continued to rant.
Xiao Linye sighed internally. Having already entered the elevator, he couldn’t help but rub his aching forehead upon hearing Qin Jinchuan’s words.
Qin Jinchuan usually appeared cold, aloof, serious, and composed. Why did he lose his cool so completely when it came to the Ye Family’s adopted daughter? Especially when she was mentioned, he seemed to lose all reason! And that adopted daughter really knew how to push his buttons; she’d made him hopping mad before too.
"Enough. I have a meeting soon!" Xiao Linye cut in. He didn’t want to continue discussing this issue with Qin Jinchuan. His collaboration with Manlang was over, so he no longer had to deal with Qin Jinchuan’s rants like this. Get full chapters from novel_fіre.net
Hearing that he had a meeting, Qin Jinchuan didn’t continue to pester him. Before hanging up, he said, "I’ve lined up a big deal for you. I’m coming to see you this morning."
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you afraid your old man will have your hide?"
The relationship between the Qin and Xiao families was currently very delicate. Yet, Qin Jinchuan was offering him a deal at a time like this!
Qin Jinchuan said dismissively, "I’m not involved in this kind of industry, so I can only pass it on to you. Besides, the old man doesn’t manage these things anymore."
Xiao Linye remained silent for a moment. True enough. After so many years of turmoil, Qin Jinchuan had single-handedly brought the Qin Family completely under control.
He hung up and stepped out of the elevator.
「Meanwhile, at Manlang.」
Things were in total chaos. Everyone was urgently tidying up and taking inventory, checking if any important assets had been lost.
「Inside Ye Yuning’s office.」
After hearing about Ye Yuning’s recent ordeal, Chen Wei was completely stunned, unable to believe it. "A r-robbery? In the elevator?"
What kind of insane thing had she encountered? It was simply too... terrifying, wasn’t it?
Ye Yuning said through gritted teeth, "You bet! They even stole the beef jerky I brought. Every single packaged item I had, they took it all, clean!"
Just then, Luo Xin knocked and entered. Seeing Ye Yuning’s grim expression, Luo Xin said nervously, "Boss, nothing was lost from the office."
Chen Wei looked at Ye Yuning. "Xiangti didn’t lose anything yesterday either."
Ye Yuning breathed heavily, closing her eyes for a moment. She was now even more certain who was behind this.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, "You two can leave first."
"Okay."
Chen Wei nodded, and she and Luo Xin left together.
Once Ye Yuning was alone, she picked up the desk phone, intending to call Qin Jinchuan, but then she realized she couldn’t remember his number at all.
