Chapter 2343: 2157: He Yuqing of the Flagship Store

When Ye Qiu left Shen Xingru’s office, Shen Xingru saw him out. Ye Qiu still needed to find Shen Yueru.

As he took the elevator up and arrived at the doorway of the CEO’s office, he knocked on the door, and the secretary, Lily, opened it.

When Ye Qiu went in, he saw Shen Yueru with her head down, looking at documents.

"Yueru," Ye Qiu said to her from beside her.

Shen Yueru thought it was someone else. She hadn’t expected it to be Ye Qiu, whom she hadn’t seen for such a long time.

Ye Qiu hadn’t been seen since before the National Day holiday, nearly two months ago. She didn’t know where he was.

"I thought you were sick," Shen Yueru said.

Sick?

How could that be?

Shen Yueru knew it was likely not the case.

It was just that Ye Qiu hadn’t come to see her for such a long time, which made Shen Yueru very upset.

Besides, now that their relationship had become clear, Ye Qiu had taken advantage of her.

"On National Day, I went back to my hometown, then I went to America, and returned just the day before yesterday."

Shen Yueru knew Ye Qiu must have gone there to treat patients.

But why did Ye Qiu spend so much time over there?

"Besides treating patients, I also invested in several companies there."

When Ye Qiu hugged Shen Yueru, secretary Lily had already left the office and was guarding outside. Secretary Lily might have looked down on Ye Qiu before, but now she wouldn’t dare even if given ten chances.

"What companies did you start?"

Shen Yueru had no idea how many companies Ye Qiu owned or how much in assets he had now.

She was really wondering how Ye Qiu got so much money.

"I started a financial investment company on Wall Street, a venture capital company in Silicon Valley, and invested in a robotics company too."

"How much did you spend?"

"Over twenty billion US Dollars!"

Over twenty billion US Dollars?

That’s equivalent to over a hundred billion Huaxia Yuan!

That’s a huge investment!

Unexpectedly, there hasn’t been any news domestically, which only shows how low-key Ye Qiu is.

Ye Qiu directly investing in those companies and having put in so much money already, not to mention his other companies.

Now Shen Yueru looks at Ye Qiu and feels like he’s an alien.

"Are you an alien? How can you be so amazing?"

Alien?

Ye Qiu knows he belongs to the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau. In simple terms, he is an immortal, only he is still far from being an immortal. Even so, if he wanted to squash a person, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Of course, Ye Qiu would never share any of this with anyone.

"I’m so annoyed, working every day, let’s go out for a while."

Go out for a while?

Although Shen Yueru is the company president now, her father Shen Zhigang is only a nominal chairman. Previously, Shen Zhigang had already handed over all company affairs to her.

Furthermore, after acquiring Qingcheng Group, Shen Yueru’s workload increased, making her feel like she’s working 365 days a year.

She doesn’t even know why she’s doing this anymore.

In any case, she has everything she needs.

"Where do you want to go?"

"To the mall, and by the way, check out Xingyue Group’s direct store."

Check out the direct store?

Isn’t that just more work?

After Shen Yueru tidied up a bit, she left the office with Ye Qiu. Shen Yueru told secretary Lily, "Lily, keep an eye on the office, I’m going out with Ye Qiu."

They took the elevator down, got into Ye Qiu’s car, and Ye Qiu drove away, heading to a nearby large mall.

Now all the large malls in Jinling have direct stores of Xingyue Group.

When they arrived at that large mall, they got out of the car, and as Ye Qiu led Shen Yueru upstairs, Shen Yueru didn’t resist.

Moreover, Shen Yueru wasn’t afraid of anyone seeing her with Ye Qiu; she already recognized their relationship.

Now Shen Yueru just wanted to relax, buy things, and check out the business of her direct store.

Before acquiring Qingcheng Group, business was unstable due to a price war.

Even so, Xingyue Group outperformed Qingcheng Group significantly, and after acquiring Qingcheng Group, the two companies have now merged into one.

Of course, the direct stores outside are still separate.

It’s like McDonald’s and KFC, competing against each other. Sales performance depends on consumer preferences.

Shen Yueru led Ye Qiu to one of Qingcheng Group’s direct stores, and when they went inside, Ye Qiu found the business here to be average, with only a few women inside browsing.

Seeing Shen Yueru leading Ye Qiu in surprised them a bit, but they continued selecting their lingerie.

Qingcheng Group’s lingerie is cheaper by a few hundred to two thousand compared to Xingyue Group’s, but previously, everything about that Wei surname was imitating Xingyue Group, making both companies look very similar.

While Shen Yueru chatted with the female sales associates, Ye Qiu stepped outside.

After all, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

When Shen Yueru came out, she said, "This store’s business is okay."

She led Ye Qiu to another direct store, a Xingyue Group’s one.

Upon entering, besides seeing the colorful lingerie, Ye Qiu also saw more young women and wives inside browsing.

Ye Qiu wanted to leave immediately, but he was surprised to seemingly spot a familiar face.

That person he once encountered at that high-end beauty salon, He Yuqing.

He remembered that He Yuqing once worked at a direct store of Qingcheng Group, but later, Qingcheng Group was nearing closure, so he arranged for her to join Xingyue Group.

From that encounter until now, he hadn’t seen her for a long time.

He Yuqing was there promoting lingerie to a wife, and when the wife was surprised, He Yuqing looked over, saw Ye Qiu entering with a beautiful young woman, and pretended not to notice Ye Qiu.

After all, in her view, Ye Qiu probably long ago forgot about her, though he treated her illness back then.

Shen Yueru didn’t expect so many customers here; when she chatted with the customers inside, they naturally hadn’t expected her to be Xingyue Group’s CEO.

Ye Qiu stepped outside, looking through the transparent glass, still able to see He Yuqing enthusiastically promoting to the wife.

After about half an hour, Shen Yueru came out.

"Yueru, we’re supposed to be out for fun; why does it feel like you’re still working?"

"Isn’t it just chatting with them? You know women talk a lot; once familiar, it doesn’t stop."

Ye Qiu glanced at He Yuqing again, didn’t linger, and left with Shen Yueru.

Watching Ye Qiu leave, He Yuqing let out a sigh of relief; she thought Ye Qiu had really forgotten her.

Thinking about it, she reckoned Ye Qiu is always surrounded by beauties.
