Chapter 502
Hearing this, Ye Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief.She hung up the phone and took a long, deep breath, but the gloominess still hadn’t dissipated.
So annoying, really so annoying! I’ve never felt so frustrated before... I’m just unbearably frustrated.
...
She was unbearably annoyed.
On Xiao Linye’s end, Kang Xuan had almost finished investigating the matter.
When he reported Manlang’s current thriving status to Xiao Linye, Xiao Linye frowned, "They signed that many?"
"Yes, the deal with Miss Ling from Hong City was the biggest—a design fee of fifteen million."
Hong City, the Ling Family! Fifteen million for a design fee—Ling Yan really dared to offer that!? However, the fact that Manlang had extricated itself from difficulties in such a short time was already surprising enough. That they had managed to land such a large deal was even more unexpected. Logically, with Manlang flourishing now, the Ye Family’s adopted daughter should have nothing to worry about. So why was that girl so absent-minded today?
As he pondered, the secretary from the secretarial department came in. "Seventh Master, Mr. Qin has arrived."
It was Qin Jinchuan!
Xiao Linye said, "Let him in."
This Qin Jinchuan is running to my side every day now, not even worried that his old man might object. Having laid low all these years, this time, he has truly erupted!
The young secretary left.
Kang Xuan looked at Xiao Linye, who waved his hand, "You go out first."
"Sure." Kang Xuan nodded.
He had just left when Qin Jinchuan came in.
Compared to the frantic state he was in every time before, Qin Jinchuan seemed to be in a particularly good mood now.
Xiao Linye furrowed his brow, "You seem to be in a pretty good mood now?"
Qin Jinchuan nodded, "Of course!"
"I thought you would be angrier now."
"Why do you say that?" Qin Jinchuan raised his eyebrows. The issues with the Qin Family have been completely clarified, and that woman is utterly submissive. What is there for me to be angry about?
Xiao Linye asked, "Do you know Ling Yan from Hong City?"
"I do. Hasn’t she always been at odds with that woman?" Qin Jinchuan certainly knew of Ling Yan. During this time, since he had been paying attention to Ye Yuning, he was naturally more informed about her past. He knew that during her college years, the person she clashed with the most was none other than Ling Yan! He didn’t know how their grievances started, but Ling Yan had always targeted Ye Yuning.
Hearing Qin Jinchuan say that they didn’t get along, Xiao Linye smiled.
He chuckled, "Ling Yan has partnered with Manlang—a contract worth fifteen million."
Qin Jinchuan exclaimed, "Oh!" No, that can’t be right? I must have misheard... "Are you sure about this news?"
"Of course!"
"Those two have always been at each other’s throats; they wouldn’t possibly have such a big collaboration."
Xiao Linye, "..."
"Could it be that Ling Yan is trying to set Manlang up?" Qin Jinchuan ventured. His first reaction was that it was impossible for them to cooperate in such a way. Secondly, even if it was true, it could be that Ling Yan wanted to set Manlang up.
Xiao Linye, "A trap?"
Qin Jinchuan nodded, "Definitely a trap. They really signed?"
Xiao Linye, "Signed."
"No way! That woman has always been so astute. Is she blinded by greed this time? How can she dare to take just anyone’s money?" Back in college, Ling Yan had set her up so badly. To think that despite their history, they could still strike a deal—that’s just unbelievable!
Xiao Linye, "..."
So, is Manlang tense because of this deal, and is that why my girl is in such a bad mood? If she knew it was a trap, why would she still sign? If she was unwilling to cooperate, could someone actually have forced her?
Qin Jinchuan said, "Hey, that woman really has some nerve. Or maybe she’s planning to set up Ling Yan."
"Setting up Ling Yan?" Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. Setting up Ling Yan? Isn’t that the same as setting up the Ling Family? If that’s the case, would she even survive? If she really did set up Ling Yan, then her Manlang would truly be finished!
Qin Jinchuan nodded, "You’ve collaborated with her before; when has she ever taken a loss in silence?" Suffer that sort of unspoken loss? Not a chance!
Xiao Linye, "..."
Hearing Qin Jinchuan say this, Xiao Linye also felt it was unlikely she’d take a silent loss. So this contract is most likely her attempt to set up Ling Yan! If that’s the case, then her Manlang really might be in danger this time... Everyone knows what kind of figure Ling Yan is in Hong City. Although she’s just a woman... but is she *really* just a woman? She’s more like a fiery vixen.
"Regardless, as long as it’s not a trap for you or me, it’s fine," Qin Jinchuan said, waving his hand dismissively. Ye Yuning loves to stir up trouble! As for whose trouble she’s stirring, that’s not my concern, as long as it’s not mine.
Xiao Linye nodded and didn’t pursue the topic.
Instead, he asked, "What has you so happy now?" It was rare for Qin Jinchuan to be in a good mood nowadays; every other time they’d met recently, hadn’t he been hopping mad?
Speaking of what he was happy about, Qin Jinchuan just smiled. "That woman is going to divorce her husband."
