Chapter 122: Mr. Wan of United Group

With Ivanka’s sudden death, the Hongying Society was forced to lay down its arms and surrender to Y6, causing the so-called world’s top espionage organization to collapse completely. Lu Ye acted as if nothing had happened and returned to his normal routine, accompanying the elderly woman to and from work.

As for Max, the only known fact was that he had left Japan, with no further information available for the time being.

Under Chen Xi’s arrangement, the undercover agents who had been rescued were all sent back to their original units. On the missing agents list of the “Apostle Walker” operation, aside from Meng Meiren and Luo Ying, there were Wei Xin, Yang Qing, and a female agent named Fang Zhi, whom Chen Xi had saved. In total, five agents were recovered.

The other three missing comrades had fallen under the relentless pursuit of the Hongying Society, which was unavoidable.

The matter of finding Cheng Qimeng for recognition was temporarily set aside. After the initial excitement wore off within two days, both Lu Ye and Chen Xi calmed down. They knew well that Cheng Qimeng might still bear some heavy responsibilities, and acting rashly could only bring trouble to her.

After discussing, the siblings decided to observe quietly and not act on their own without their mother’s word.

The quiet days lasted for over a month.

…

One day, Su Qianqian moved into a new home with Lu Ye, accompanied by Chen Xi, Luo Ying, and Scarlet — one man and four women moving in together.

A housewarming banquet was held at the new home, attended by celebrities from all over Pearl City to offer their congratulations.

Just in time, Chen Xiaoting delivered over a dozen supercars, parked right at the doorstep, giving Su Qianqian a tremendous surprise!

It took three tractor-trailer trucks to haul them all, including the porcelain blue LaFerrari — nearly half of these limited-edition supercars were rare global models.

If these cars were auctioned off, the total transaction price would easily exceed one billion yuan.

Now, they were all neatly lined up in the garage of Su Qianqian’s new home, resembling a limited-edition supercar exhibition.

Everyone present knew this was Lu Ye’s doing and lavishly praised Su Qianqian for marrying such a good husband, and the Su family for gaining such a fine son-in-law.

The elderly woman’s vanity swelled to an extreme degree!

That night, Lu Ye’s great dream of “a clear spring nourishing the dragon within the door” was finally fulfilled.

…

The next morning, Lu Ye woke up very early, feeling vigorous and refreshed.

He didn’t want to wake the elderly woman sleeping soundly beside him, especially after the exhausting night they had shared.

It was their first time tasting such delight, and they couldn’t help but go a little overboard.

Lu Ye drew back the curtains and gazed at the ceaseless flow of the Pearl River, feeling a surge of emotion.

Damn it!

If anyone dared say Lu Ye and the elderly woman had only a nominal relationship in the future, he would hit them on the spot with his size 43 shoe sole!

Between the two, it seemed as if a new bond had been forged.

Already in a phase where their feelings were rapidly intensifying, after their affectionate night, they stuck to each other like glue, unwilling to part for even a moment.

Su Qianqian slept until well past noon that day.

Back at work at Yiren Group, with nothing pressing to do, she played flights chess with Lu Ye in the office.

Just as they were engrossed in their game, the receptionist suddenly called.

“President Su, President Wan from United Group is here to see you.”

Su Qianqian replied, “Understood. Please ask him to wait in the reception room for me.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ye asked curiously, “Since when did United Group appear in Pearl City?”

Su Qianqian explained, “United Group has existed for a long time. They just opened a branch in Pearl City a few days ago. The branch manager, Wan Quan, wants to invest in developing a commercial center in the new Jiangbei district, so he came to negotiate buying houses and shops from me.”

Lu Ye was never very interested in Yiren Group’s business matters and nodded casually, “Oh.”

Su Qianqian stood up, tidied her appearance, and chuckled as she patted Lu Ye’s head, saying, “I’ll go entertain Wan Quan. You behave yourself!”

“Got it!”

United Group was an overseas enterprise, reportedly founded by an American-born Chinese, with a history stretching back 130 years.

Such a classic old family business had very deep roots; the owner behind it might be one of the top hundred billionaires globally.

But the specific owner of United Group remained unknown for now.

Su Qianqian had transformed the once barren Jiangbei district of Pearl City into a new urban hub, instantly filling the city with development potential. It might even develop into the next first-tier city thanks to Jiangbei’s growth.

Currently, Pearl City’s housing prices had not yet surged exponentially.

But once it achieved first-tier status, housing prices could conservatively triple or quadruple.

United Group was precisely attracted by Pearl City’s prospects, investing at this early stage before its takeoff.

Although the initial development was a joint effort between Fugui Real Estate and Yiren Group, Fugui had since gone bankrupt.

Su Qianqian acquired it at a very low price from the hands of Xu Zhaocai, thus gaining full ownership of the new Jiangbei district, making her the undisputed ruler of the area.

Wan Quan, as United Group’s representative, naturally had to liaise with Su Qianqian.

However, Su Qianqian was surprised at how young Wan Quan was.

He looked just over twenty, barely older than Lu Ye.

To hold the position of branch manager of United Group at such a young age, he either had extraordinary connections or formidable business acumen.

As for which, Su Qianqian couldn’t tell yet.

“I’ve long heard that President Su is the most beautiful woman in Pearl City. Meeting you today truly makes my heart race,” Wan Quan said politely and elegantly. Though he praised Su Qianqian’s beauty, his gaze showed no disrespect.

Su Qianqian smiled with a hint of distance and replied politely, “President Wan flatters me. You are the model of a young and promising entrepreneur.”

After all, it was just mutual business flattery.

Throughout the meeting, Wan Quan behaved like a true gentleman, never making any moves to get close to Su Qianqian.

This greatly improved her impression of him.

After the business details were roughly settled, before leaving, Wan Quan took the initiative to invite her: “If you don’t mind, President Su, may I invite you to dinner three days from now? We can also sign the contract then.”

Su Qianqian nodded and smiled, “No problem.”

She personally saw Wan Quan out of Yiren Group’s gate and only returned to the office after watching him get into his car and leave.

However, inside the car, Wan Quan revealed a sinister, lecherous smile.

His assistant sitting beside him asked, “President Wan, what do you think of Su Qianqian?”

Wan Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with satisfaction: “She’s exactly to my taste. I’m going to have this woman.”

“Shen He, you’ve got a good eye this time. Finally, you’ve found me a real gem,” Wan Quan said.

Shen He smiled, “It’s your high standards for women, President Wan.”

“But Su Qianqian is already married. Doesn’t that bother you?”

Wan Quan smiled wickedly, “Taking away someone else’s beloved wife will give me even more satisfaction.”

Shen He offered a forced smile, but inwardly he despised this.

Damn it!

Who would have thought that this young president, barely 23, had such a twisted mind?

Though only 23, Wan Quan was already a veteran in the world of women.

Shen He had been his personal assistant for three years, during which he helped him pursue countless affairs.

Usually, any woman Wan Quan beckoned to would leap at him like a tiger.

Over time, Wan Quan grew bored of such play, finding those common courtesans disgusting.

Upon arriving in Pearl City for business, the first thing he did was send Shen He to find out who the city’s most beautiful woman was. Naturally, Su Qianqian’s reputation reached his ears.

Unexpectedly, she was also his business partner, so Wan Quan devised a plan to court her.

He wasn’t truly in love with her; he only lusted after her body.

Wan Quan could tell Su Qianqian was not a frivolous woman, so he deliberately acted with gentlemanly charm, a tactic he called “playing hard to get.”

Indeed, Su Qianqian was not averse to him and even agreed to dine together.

So Wan Quan believed he had achieved an early victory.

Next, by creating a romantic atmosphere at dinner and casually introducing some subtle flirtations, he was confident that with his qualities, he could completely win Su Qianqian’s heart.
