Chapter 77 Signing the Contract

Chapter 077: Signing the Contract

Huang Wei first exchanged greetings with Ma Long, Xiao Qi, and Chu Yun, as these were all brought over personally by Ye Feng and were naturally his close friends. She had also heard that Ma Long owned a club. Afterwards, she introduced Vice President Liu Siyuan and her secretary Wu Xiaomei to Ma Long and the others, ensuring everyone became acquainted.

Ye Feng was more than happy to let everyone meet, knowing that a secretary often represents the boss’s intentions. However, he noticed Ma Long, when shaking hands with the young lady, seemed reluctant to let go, his mouth almost watering: “Miss Wu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Watching Ma Long’s sycophantic expression, Ye Feng was tempted to kick him—was this really one of his men? What a disgrace. “Ahem, Ma Long, your drool.”

“Ah!” Ma Long realized his predicament. How could he be clutching the young lady’s hand, unwilling to release it? Yet her hand felt so soft and smooth—such flawless skin. He wondered if all beauties had hands like hers. When he shook hands with Huang Shan earlier, thinking of Ye Feng’s girlfriend, he merely brushed her hand and quickly let go, afraid of offending. As for shaking hands with Liu Siyuan, he did so even faster—he had no interest in men.

Now, Ma Long felt as if his hand had been electrified, quickly letting go of Wu Xiaomei’s delicate hand. “S-sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. Forgive me, Miss Wu.” The boldness he’d shown leading his brothers to confront others was gone; now he was like a child who’d made a mistake, blushing in embarrassment. Fortunately, his dark complexion hid most of the redness.

“It’s fine,” Wu Xiaomei replied quietly, her face flushed as she looked down. She was new to Huang Shan’s office, having recently replaced the previous secretary who left for health reasons. Huang Shan appreciated her diligence and thrift, and so transferred her from the secretary’s department.

Wu Xiaomei wasn’t quite sure what had happened. When her hand was held, she hadn’t resisted much. It wasn’t until the man, who seemed to have some connection with President Huang, spoke up that she realized her lapse and quickly withdrew her hand from Ma Long’s grasp.

Having followed President Huang for some time, Wu Xiaomei knew she rarely smiled and was always decisive and straightforward in business. Yet in front of this handsome, elegant man, she seemed to become gentle—genuinely gentle from deep within—making Wu Xiaomei suspect there was something more between them.

“Heh, as long as it’s alright. I’ll be more careful next time!” Ma Long replied. Wu Xiaomei wished she could disappear into the ground—this seemingly honest man had already taken her hand, and now he spoke of being careful next time. Did he intend to hold her hand again? She glanced at Ma Long; truthfully, he was neat and carried an attractive masculine aura.

Huang Shan saw Ma Long’s expression and knew he was likely interested in her secretary. She had a good impression of Ma Long; anyone who could be Ye Feng’s friend must be decent, and he exuded a sense of justice.

“Alright, now that everyone’s acquainted, let’s have Vice President Liu lead everyone in to see the premises. If you find the price agreeable, we can sign the contract immediately and our company can begin renovations,” Huang Shan said with a smile. Liu Siyuan was stunned—when had President Huang ever spoken like this? Not only agreeing to such a low, loss-making price, but now offering help with renovations? Liu Siyuan felt dizzy; could something have happened to President Huang?

Ye Feng was even happier upon hearing this. Clearly, Huang Shan was doing him a huge favor: first, selling the building at such a low price, and now offering help with renovations. It was like winning the lottery.

Ma Long, Chu Yun, and the others were equally delighted. Everyone knew renovation costs could be exorbitant, especially for quality work. Their gazes shifted toward Huang Shan, realizing that Ye Feng’s abilities were extraordinary—this beautiful CEO was likely enamored with him.

“This building was constructed with many considerations, so the foundation is solid, the pilings deep...” Liu Siyuan began introducing the features, especially proud of certain aspects, his enthusiasm evident. Ye Feng and the others nodded in agreement.

Liu Siyuan’s expertise was impressive—he was steady, skilled, and thorough. Everyone acknowledged this, and Ma Long and Chu Yun were grinning from ear to ear. “Excellent, excellent, thank you for your help, President Huang!”

“No need for thanks. Consider this my support for everyone. We are all businesspeople; though we pursue profit, cooperation and mutual benefit are even more important. I believe you will be able to realize the full potential of this land,” Huang Shan said, casting a wistful, slightly plaintive glance toward Ye Feng, which captivated him. At this moment, Huang Shan was like a forlorn beauty, alluring and irresistible—Ye Feng couldn’t help but imagine her on a bed, indulging in his desires.

Afterwards, Chu Yun signed the contract on behalf of Ye Feng’s side with Vice President Liu, representing Huang Shan’s company. Although Liu Siyuan felt the price was unreasonable, the chairman had spoken, so he had to agree. In the end, Ye Feng’s side paid six hundred thousand, and Huang Shan’s company took care of the renovations. Chu Yun was bursting with pride—everything was ready, just awaiting the official opening. He would be the general manager, and that feeling was simply exhilarating.
