Chapter 15 - Physical Evidence (4)
Ye Zhiqiang, who was just about to lunge at her, regained his rationality and tried very hard to remain calm.
“You guys are done talking?” asked Shu Jianyang as he looked at Ye Zhiqiang, as though he’d lunge at him with one word from Shu Yan.
“We have finished talking about everything that we needed to talk about. I hope you will make up your mind soon. Remember, I am only giving you three days. If you don’t make up your mind in three days, I will make it for you.” The way that Shu Yan was standing was exactly the same as when Ye Zhiqiang looked for her and tried to force her to sign the documents, even her tone was the same as his the other day.
His anger was bubbling up all over again, but with him being grossly outnumbered, Ye Zhiqiang had no choice but to keep himself in check.
“Let’s go, Third Brother.” Shu Yan was loving the feeling that he wish she’d drop dead but there was nothing he could do about it.
Once they went downstairs, Shu Yan smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Third Brother and all your brothers. I would love to take you all out to lunch. Please do allow me to do so.”
“Sure, let’s go somewhere else,” said Shu Jianyang and he took them to a restaurant not too far from the hotel and went up to the second floor.
“This restaurant’s food is quite good. We come here quite often.” “We” in this case of course referred to someone of Shu Jianyang’s caliber. This was his men’s first trip here. They all looked around at the decor somewhat excitedly.
After everybody had finished eating and drinking, Shu Yan gave everyone today another red pocket of $100 each. That was quite a decent amount for ’92.
“This… Third Brother?” The few men looked to Shu Jianyang.
“Go ahead and take it. Just be more mindful of her businesses in the future, alright?” Shu Yan had already taken them out; naturally, Shu Jianyang wouldn’t stop her from handing them out. Plus, he was aware of how much Ye Zhiqiang has. Once the divorce was finalized, his cousin would become a millionaire. What’s a few hundred dollars now?
“Third Brother, do you think Ye Zhiqiang would agree to leaving everything behind?”
“It wouldn’t be so simple.” They were all men. He knew full well how important a career was to a man. Ye Zhiqiang had worked hard for what he had accomplished today. He wouldn’t easily give them all up.
“He has to,” said Shu Yan. She hesitated a little and said, “I don’t think I will go home in the next couple of days. Maybe I’ll check into a hotel close to Third Brother.”
Ye Zhiqiang was a contractor, who owned his own construction company and had many men working for him. These days, fights were common when competing over construction projects. Being able to go from a boy from a village to be as successful as he was today, Ye Zhiqiang wasn’t a nice guy. She didn’t want him to send someone to abduct her from her place and take some unmentionable pictures of her with some random man. He wasn’t above doing that.
Shu Yan had already thought about this before, so she brought with her her ID and bank deposit book. For safety’s sake, she would stay somewhere close to Shu Jianyang. As mean as Ye Zhiqiang was, he wasn’t as mean as a gangster. She didn’t think he’d have the balls to pull anything in Shu Jianyang’s territory.
“Alright,” even if Shu Yan hadn’t suggested that, Shu Jianyang would have suggested the same anyway.
“Thank you, Third Brother.”
