"I've let you down in the past few years," Xu Yaqing said to Ye Feng guiltily.
"I should be the one apologizing. Without me, even if you were having a hard time, you'd still be better off than you are now."
Ye Feng didn't feel that Xu Yaqing owed him anything. If Xu Yaqing hadn't married him, she wouldn't have been targeted and humiliated by her family.
"Alright, let's sleep. I still have to go to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals tomorrow."
Ye Feng looked at the silent Xu Yaqing as he made his bed on the floor and let her sleep in peace.
"Mm, good night."
At noon the next day, Ye Feng drove his electric motorcycle to the Xu Corporation building.
Normally, he wouldn't have come, but Xu Yaqing insisted that Ye Feng drive her to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals.
Ye Feng had no choice but to come over.
Before Xu Yaqing arrived, Xu Tian walked over.
"Yo, why are you here, you piece of trash? What, don't you have any money to spend? Coming to ask Xu Yaqing for money?"
Ye Feng looked up at Xu Tian and ignored him.
"Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you too embarrassed to talk? How about this, you call me Broth animauxer Yi Tian and I'll give you a few thousand yuan."
"No, thanks," Ye Feng replied in exasperation. It seemed like he had been quite successful in building up his gigolo persona.
"What are you guys doing?"
At this moment, Xu Yaqing, who had just walked out of the building, saw the two of them. Afraid that Ye Feng would be bullied, she immediately tried to divert their attention.
"Nothing much, just chatting with my brother-in-law."
Xu Yaqing looked at Xu Tian suspiciously. What could the two of them say to each other? It was already good enough that they didn't fight. How could they chat?
"That's right. We just talked for a while," Ye Feng looked at Xu Yaqing and said. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to see this annoying brother-in-law of his.
"Xu Yaqing, you're not going to ride this useless trash's electric motorcycle to discuss the contract with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals, are you?"
Xu Tian rolled his eyes and remembered that Xu Yaqing was supposed to go to Qingfeng to discuss the contract.
"Yeah, why not?" Xu Yaqing asked in confusion.
"You don't seem to care about the contract at all. Do you not care about what Grandpa said, or do you not want to sign the contract at all?"
Xu Tian pointed at Xu Yaqing.
"Discussing a collaboration depends on the company's capability and sincerity. What does it have to do with transportation? Don't deliberately find fault!" Not to be outdone, Xu Yaqing retorted.
"Xu Yaqing, don't talk about useless things. Sincerity? Is your sincerity riding a little electric motorcycle to meet them? Is that a sign of respect?"
"You don't have to worry about that. This matter has nothing to do with you now. If you don't like it, you can go and secure the contract."
When Ye Feng saw Xu Tian's aggressive attitude, he immediately spoke up for Xu Yaqing.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm a member of the Xu family. This is my family's business and yet you say it has nothing to do with me. Why are you, an outsider, joining in on the fun?"
When Xu Tian saw Ye Feng speak, he immediately pointed his hostility at Ye Feng.
"Xu Tian, we'll get the contract either way. You don't have to worry about it."
Xu Yaqing was frustrated and wanted Xu Tian to leave as soon as possible.
"Then don't forget our bet."
"Don't worry, I'll leave the Xu family myself if I can't get my hands on a contract with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals."
"It's good that you remember. I really want to see what it's like for you to bring a piece of trash along to discuss a collaboration. Don't even go through the door."
"There's no need for you to worry. Ye Feng, let's go."
After Xu Yaqing finished speaking, she sat on the electric motorcycle with Ye Feng and left.
"Xu Yaqing, I'll wait for you to leave the Xu family!" Xu Tian shouted after them.
He then returned to the building smugly.
Soon, Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals.
"Ye Feng, I'm a bit nervous. What should I do?" Xu Yaqing asked quietly.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get the contract. Trust yourself."
Ye Feng comforted Xu Yaqing.
"Are you Miss Xu Yaqing and Mr. Ye Feng?"
The two of them had just walked in when a service staff member, who was there to greet guests, walked over.
"Yes, we are."
"Manager Qin told me to take you both to his office when you two arrive. Follow me."
Xu Yaqing was a little puzzled when she heard this.
Qin Tianbao, the general manager of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals, was someone who was hard to meet. Even people from wealthy families rarely saw him. But why was it different today?
Dazed, Xu Yaqing was dragged along by Ye Feng as they followed the staff member to Qin Tianbao's office.
That staff member knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The three of them opened the door and walked in.
"Manager Qin, Miss Xu and Mr. Ye are here."
"Okay, I got it. You can go ahead."
After the employee left, Qin Tianbao stood up enthusiastically and asked the two of them to sit on the sofa before pouring them each a glass of water.
"What is Miss Xu here for this time?"
"Hello, Manager Qin. I'm here because the Xu family wants to work with your company."
"I see. Sure. Sign the contract."
"Ah? That fast?"
"Hahaha, actually, our boss has already instructed us to agree to Miss Xu's proposal."
"What's going on?"
Xu Yaqing was stunned. She didn't know Qingfeng's boss. What was going on?
Suddenly, she thought of Ye Feng, who had asked her to come sign the contract. Could it be related to him?
"I don't know either. I'm just working for someone. I'll do whatever the boss says."
Qin Tianbao pretended to be helpless. After all, his boss was sitting down playing games right there.
This little young master had a strange temper and did not want to show his face in front of outsiders, so he could only help him lie.
He then stole a glance at Ye Feng, who was playing with his phone.
"O-Okay."
Although it felt unreal, she had really picked up a treasure this time.
The two of them quickly signed the contract.
Then, Xu Yaqing left with Ye Feng while Qin Tianbao sent the two of them out of the company.
After watching the two leave, he returned to his office.
"Ye Feng, do you know people from Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals? You were the one who asked me to come and discuss this cooperation, and it went so smoothly. Who exactly are you?"
On the way back to the Xu Corporation, Xu Yaqing raised her doubts.
"What identity can I have? The boss of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals was my old classmate. It wasn't hard for me to get his help."
"Oh, I see. Then we have to thank him for doing us such a big favor."
"He's not free. He's busy overseas right now."
Ye Feng didn't want to expose his identity so early.
"Alright then, but you have to thank him properly when he's back."
"Yes, that's for sure. But don't tell anyone that I helped you. Just say that you successfully signed the contract."
"Why?" Xu Yaqing asked in confusion. This was clearly a good opportunity for Ye Feng to change the opinion others had of him, so why did he hide it?
"I don't want to have to interact too much with the Xu family."
"Alright then."
They returned to the Xu Corporation in silence.
Xu Yaqing entered the company, while Ye Feng found a stool at the snack stall and sat down.
