Chapter 449 The Gathering of Moguls
Xu Sheng’s mistress was called Li Yan’er, a woman aged 30. She was much younger and more beautiful than his wife. When she was working in the real estate industry, she was one of the most beautiful and attractive staff there.
Xu Sheng worried that she might hook up with other men, so he asked her to resign and bribed her with a house he bought for her. He even gave her a big amount of pocket money.
Now all she did was go to the mall and the beauty salon. She even had servants to meet all her needs, which was a totally different life compared to the life she had been living before. So Li Yan’er wanted to Xu Sheng to be with her forever. She advised him to divorce his wife and marry her, not for love, but for his money.
Xu Sheng was sitting on the bed in her room. She was applying her eyeliner, while listening to what Xu Sheng wanted her to do. After she knew the reason, she said with delight, “That’s good. But how will you introduce me to the others?”
“Well… I can introduce you as my secretary or assistant…”
Li Yan’er’s face changed instantly. She wheeled around and looked at Xu Sheng. She looked even more bewitching after she had her makeup on. She pouted, “I want you to introduce me as your wife.”
“How’s that even possible…” Xu Sheng had an awkward smile after he saw her mood change. “I can’t do that. I’m married to another now. There will be some people who know who I am. People will laugh at me if I lied to them.
Li Yan’er snorted and said petulantly, “When will you divorce that ugly woman?”
Xu Sheng had a wry smile, “I’ve mentioned it to her. But she doesn’t want a divorce. After all, we have been married for so many years. She can’t accept it. And we have a daughter…”
“I don’t care.” Li Yan’er said petulantly, “You can only choose between me and her. Who do you think I am? Why would I choose you when there are many other men who want to be with me? It is because you want to marry me. If you can’t leave her, I don’t think we should be together anymore.
Xu Sheng walked over to her and squatted in front of her. Li Yan’er snorted and turned around. Xu Sheng stood up and took her in his arms. Li Yan’er tried to wrench free. Xu Sheng said smilingly, “Yan’er, I’m on to it… Don’t worry, I will divorce her, no matter if she agrees or not. Within a few days…Within this year, I will marry you. What do you say?”
Li Yan’er pouted and cupped her chin, which made Xu Sheng want to kiss her. Then Li Yan’er said furiously, “Within this year? No! I will give you one month. If you can’t marry me a month later, you don’t need to come here anymore.”
Xu Sheng hesitated. But as he looked at the beauty in his arms, he made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said with determination, “Okay. I will divorce her and marry you one month later.”
Li Yan’er finally smiled. She turned around and looked at Xu Sheng and asked cutely, “You’re not kidding?”
“I will never lie to you!” Xu Sheng’s breathing became rapid as he looked at her beautiful face and a certain part of his body began to harden. He lifted the woman and panted, “Babe… You are the only one I love. I can even give you my life… I don’t care about my reputation. I miss your body…”
Xu Sheng pinned Li Yan’er on the bed. Li Yan’er giggled and twisted her body. Then they started shedding the clothes on their bodies.
Yezi was also a part of this plan. Xiao Bing had told the details of the plan to Yezi last night. Xiao Bing believed that Yezi would not make any mistake on her part. Though Yezi was not as professional as Zhang Qiang, she was clever and whimsical. She could have been a qualified actress if she chose to take up acting.
As for Zhang Qiang, he was not in the Xiao Mansion tonight. He went to the villa that belonged to Xiao Bing in Jiang City. The servants were all told to cooperate with him. Xiao Bing even summoned five of the ten men from Country R. He asked them to pretend they were Zhang Qiang’s bodyguards and to obey Zhang Qiang’s orders. Zhang Qiang had mastered many languages, so he could communicate with them easily.
Xiao Bing did research on what other languages this Li Yan’er could speak. It turned out she could only speak one foreign language and she was not very good at it, which meant what she would not understand the five men. So Xiao Bing was not worried about her sensing if anything was wrong.
And one would look imposing if he had five foreign bodyguards surrounding him!
The feast was held at the most famous restaurant in Jiang City. To show his respect, Xu Sheng came early with Li Yan’er. When he walked into the hall, arm in arm with Li Yan’er, he found there were already some people there and she was acquainted with two of them. She had worked for them before. But they did not seem to know her. But now she walked into this place as if she was a successful businessman’s woman, which made her feel haughty. She held her head high, like a proud canary.
Xu Sheng was a famous entrepreneur in Jiang City. He was greeted by many as he walked by. Some even asked curiously, “Who is this beautiful lady?”
They were curious and jealous of Xu Sheng. Indeed, Li Yan’er was a beautiful woman, but she was also a schemer. Xu Sheng had a good relationship with his wife before, and his start-up fund was from his wife’s family. Yet now he was willing to abandon his wife for his mistress.
Xu Sheng grinned, “This… She’s my friend. Her name is Li Yan’er.”
Li Yan’er nodded with a smile. She looked noble, proud and confident. The men shook hands with her and made a lot of complimentary remarks, which made this woman feel even more proud.
The two businessmen Li Yan’er had worked for did not know her, since she normally only took orders from her manager. Now both of them began paying her compliments, which sated Li Yan’er’s ego greatly. She decided that she must pay a visit to her formal working place. She wanted to see how her former bossy manager would pander to her.
Xu Sheng was talking with them. Several of these men were aloof, but Xu Sheng did not care much about it. He kept introducing Li Yan’er to them. From Xu Sheng’s words, Li Yan’er knew that these men owned the most powerful companies in Jiang City. Xu Sheng’s company could not even compare with them. One of them even discreetly took advantage of her when shaking hands, but Li Yan’er did not say anything about it.
Someone near him asked, “Why is Chairman Ye still not here yet?”
“I don’t know. Let’s just wait. Ye’s group is a gigantic organization She may be busy with her work.”
Others picked up the sentiment. Li Yan’er noticed that when they mentioned the Ye group, there was awe in the eyes of those haughty businessmen.
Xu Sheng explained in a low voice, “The Ye group is the only one that ranks among the top 30 enterprises in the whole country. It even controls the fate of many companies. Their last board leader even had a nickname, Bancheng, which means that they control half of this city’s industry.”
“Really?” Li Yan’er was surprised. She once thought Xu Sheng was really powerful, otherwise she would not find her way to his bed. But she had not expected that the mention of the Ye Group could make these businessmen, whom Xu Sheng did not dare to offend, feel awed. Li Yan’er could not imagine how powerful this company must be. She even believed that she and Xu Sheng’s fate could be decided by a simple order from it. Small wonder Xu Sheng was so serious about this feast.
Every businessman was here with a dancing partner. Li Yan’er’s beauty was superior to all of them, so many men would occasionally cast a discreet glance at her. But several moguls in Jiang City gazed at her in a flagrant way, which made Xu Sheng irritated.
Xu Sheng pulled Li Yan’er to his side and said to her in a low voice, “Don’t leave my side and stay away from those men.”
Li Yan’er giggled, “Are you worried?”
“Of course. I have heard what those bastards have done. But they all own big companies and we have their business cooperation. I still want to make money from them, so I cannot offend them. As long as you keep your distance from them, they won’t do anything inappropriate.”
“I know. ” Li Yan’er grinned, “I will be careful. I’m your woman. I won’t let other men touch me.”
Xu Sheng was satisfied and he felt warm inside. He felt like he could sacrifice everything for this woman. Li Yan’er also thought that Xu Sheng was enough for her. She was a greedy woman, but she was also very smart. Xu Sheng was willing to divorce his wife for her, but those powerful businessmen would not. They only craved her body and that was not she wanted.
Suddenly silence fell over the room. Then, they saw a woman coming in. There were two men behind her and a bunch of bodyguards behind them.
