Chapter 695: Mengyao’s Little Girl Mentality
Qiu Wen brought Sato Miyabi to the front of Ye Fan and Mengyao, and Sato Miyabi looked cautious and guarded."This is Miss Sato; according to her, she is from the Sato Family, one of the two families controlling Wanpu Company. The assassins outside are after her, and Miss Sato is willing to offer a substantial reward for us to save her life." Qiu Wen didn’t explain the identities of Ye Fan and Mengyao but instead gave a brief introduction of Sato Miyabi and the situation, reminding, "Considering that Master and President Chu have their business domains, I took the liberty of bringing Miss Sato here on my own."
The statement made by Qiu Wen seemed directed at Ye Fan and others, but in reality, it was meant solely for Sato Miyabi.
Because they knew Sato Miyabi’s identity too well, they devised a plan.
Qiu Wen also worried that Master and Mengyao’s big names might be recognized by Sato Miyabi.
But at this moment, Sato Miyabi looked at Ye Fan and Mengyao with an utterly oblivious expression, which greatly reassured Qiu Wen.
"It seems to be just as Master said, even the higher-ups of Wanpu Company only know that Chu Group is an enemy, but they don’t know about the identities of their opponents." This thought occurred to Qiu Wen.
From another angle, Ye Fan and others are equally ignorant about the internal situation of Wanpu Company. The information they have was learned through hacker techniques after arriving in Japan.
Sato Miyabi has gathered some information, learning that the title ’President Chu’ refers to Mengyao. What surprised her greatly was that Qiu Wen’s master wasn’t an old man but a young one.
Her mind worked quickly, considering mastering the opponents’ names as the first piece of the necessary information.
Qiu Wen seemed unintended but actually deliberately leaked some information, putting herself in a subordinate position to highlight Ye Fan and Mengyao. This was a pre-planned move.
"May I ask, how should I address your master?" Sato Miyabi whispered to Qiu Wen.
"No need for formalities; the surname is Ye." Qiu Wen showed a look of reverence.
"Esteemed Mr. Ye and the most beautiful President Chu, please forgive any intrusions upon this first meeting," Sato Miyabi knew how to address them and quickly bowed, maintaining a humble and complimentary attitude.
"No worries," Ye Fan replied simply.
"You say you’re from the Sato Family of Wanpu Company?" Mengyao grew interested, curiously asking, "I know a bit about the reputation of Wanpu Company, but what puzzles me is that the Sato Family controls half of Wanpu Company. Even nationwide in Japan, no one dares to lay hands on the Sato Family, right? It seems that your status within the Sato Family is not highly respected? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be facing assassin attacks."
"The current Patriarch of the Sato Family is my father; I am the only descendant of this generation in the Sato Family." Sato Miyabi elaborated on her noble status.
"If that’s the case, how did you still encounter danger? Who dares to provoke the fury of the Sato Family?" Mengyao insisted.
"President Chu, you might not be aware; the thing is like this." Sato Miyabi, deciding to be open and honest, knowing a sufficient show of sincerity was needed to gain goodwill and trust, spoke with a resentful expression, "It’s all due to Huaxia’s Chu Group that my Sato Family has fallen into crisis. I mean no disrespect to President Chu and Mr. Ye, just stating facts."
"How does it involve Huaxia’s Chu Group again?" Mengyao said playfully.
"The thing is, my Sato Family’s two ace assassins, Okamura Jiro and Yamada Taro, died at the hands of Chu Group during illegitimate business competitions, resulting in my Sato Family’s decline. The Akiyama Family seized this opportunity, attempting to annex the entire Wanpu Company and eliminate my Sato Family, hence the assassination attempts against me," Sato Miyabi said sulkily.
"I see, so Akiyama is striking while the iron’s hot," Mengyao nodded.
Sato Miyabi suppressed her hatred, proactively inquiring, "Mr. Ye and President Chu are from Huaxia; you must have heard of the Chu Group’s reputation, right?"
"I’ve heard of it. It’s a terrifying entity that rose forcefully to become the top mogul in the Northwest Business Community, emerging from an old superior company. This new company is wealthy, with incredible capabilities." Mengyao felt pride in her heart but displayed an admiring expression outwardly.
"Heard of it? More than heard of it, it’s as familiar as can be." Qiu Wen secretly laughed to herself, internally mocking Sato Miyabi, "The cause of the Sato Family’s downfall is us; how laughable that you, a fool, cannot recognize your hated enemies even upon meeting them. It’s utterly absurd."
"President Chu’s statement is not exaggerated; the might of the Chu Group likely surpasses what you know." Despite her deep-seated hostility towards the Chu Group, Sato Miyabi acknowledged the formidable nature of this rival that she held in high regard.
"Oh, it seems Miss Sato’s understanding of the Chu Group exceeds ours." Mengyao grew interested, a playful curve appearing on her lips as she inquisitively asked, "My knowledge of the Chu Group is merely hearsay; Miss Sato might as well tell us what you know about the Chu Group, to broaden our horizons."
Ye Fan watched Mengyao, intending to tease Sato Miyabi, with an odd expression; he found Mengyao’s girlish demeanor amusing and incredulous.
"Mengyao, truly mischievous."
"Are you talking about your own company like that?"
"Who knows about the Chu Group better, if not you?"
Qiu Wen nearly burst into laughter.
"This is outright tormenting Sato Miyabi. If Sato Miyabi discovered the truth, she’d be livid." Shen Yaqing and Du Xueqi exchanged glances, then turned their heads aside, afraid to laugh out loud and give themselves away, forcing them to divert their face in another direction out of necessity.
Not sensing anything amiss, Sato Miyabi calmed her emotions, then addressed Mengyao’s query objectively, "According to reliable information, the head of the Chu Group is surnamed Chu. Coincidentally, it shares the same surname as President Chu. The Chu Group’s President Chu has long been celebrated as a leading woman, an ice-cold beauty, a domineering CEO, among other titles. Someone with such praise is undoubtedly a great beauty. However, I do not know what this President Chu’s name is."
"Oh, I see. This President Chu must be quite capable. If I had such skills, that would be wonderful." Mengyao displayed a longing expression.
"What skills are you talking about?" Sato Miyabi was skeptical and continued, "In fact, this President Chu’s skills aren’t remarkable, but behind President Chu stands a mysterious man, profoundly to be reckoned with. It’s through this man’s incredible abilities that the Chu Group has expanded and President Chu gained such prominence."
"Indeed, it validates the saying, ’Behind every successful woman is a mysterious man.’" Mengyao’s face remained calm, yet every cell in her body was laughing.
If not for her exceptional endurance, she would have burst out laughing long ago.
Qiu Wen and the others also endured pain holding back their laughter.
"What a philosophically rich statement." Sato Miyabi thoughtfully absorbed it, delightedly, then inquired, "Dare I ask, President Chu, who is this famous person who said this? I fancy myself knowledgeable yet am unaware of who uttered this phrase?"
"I said it offhand out of inspiration." Mengyao calmly replied.
"Uh @#¥" Sato Miyabi was taken aback, then respectfully said, "President Chu, you’re so learned."
