Chapter 1749: Genius Young Lady and Ignorant Young Lady

Yang Ming almost jumped out of shock. He thought, Why are this company’s staff so rowdy? She didn’t just barge in here without knocking, but she also called Jing Xiaolu’s name directly? What kind of management is this? They should convene a meeting to discuss this.

Yang Ming released Jing Xiaolu’s hands subconsciously and looked at the person who arrived with a gloomy expression. However, Yang Ming frowned when he saw their face.

It was Liu Huamei. Yang Ming had seen her on TV once. He didn’t have a good impression of her. With the current developments, his impression of her became worse. Yang Ming uttered coldly, “Don’t you know how to knock before you enter?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t see anything…,” Liu Huamei felt apologetic. She didn’t expect someone else to be in Jing Xiaolu’s office. She would have knocked on the door and not barged in if she knew.

Liu Huamei covered her eyes with her hands and backed out of the office as she said this… Even though Liu Huamei hadn’t seen how Yang Ming looked like before, he was probably the only man that could be that close to Jing Xiaolu. Liu Huamei felt her face redden when she remembered Sun Jie teasing about her and Yang Ming.

Yang Ming felt amused by Liu Huamei saying these words and backing out with her face blushing. Half of his anger disappeared. He didn’t expect this Liu Huamei to be quite interesting.

“Forget about it. You can come in,” It was naturally inappropriate for Yang Ming to remain angry. He could only say that sadly.

Jing Xiaolu was gnashing her teeth in her thoughts. Yang Ming finally took the lead for once, but Liu Huamei ruined it. How can I be so unlucky!? All in all, she could only blame her rotten luck because she was close to Liu Huamei and couldn’t be angry with her like Yang Ming.

“Oh…I’m really sorry!” Liu Huamei also knew that it was quite inappropriate to interrupt someone’s happy little affair. Besides, she was at fault in this. Who asked her to not knock on the door before entering?

Not to mention that Jing Xiaolu was making out with Yang Ming in the Ming Yang Company. It was their company and had nothing to do with her.

“It’s fine…,” Yang Ming shook his head. “You’re Liu Huamei, right? I’m Yang Ming.

Yang Ming stood up and extended his hand to Liu Huamei. Yang Ming had a dismal impression of Liu Huamei before this. However, Yang Ming only noticed that Liu Huamei was just a little girl when he saw her in person.

Yang Ming couldn’t complain about her especially after she apologized with an overwhelmed look.

“Greetings. Your reputation precedes you,” Liu Huamei still shook hands with Yang Ming even though she was blushing with embarrassment because she recalled Sun Jie’s earlier teasing. Her palm was sweaty though.

Yang Ming felt perplexed when he noticed that he was shaking a damp hand. Why does this Liu Huamei sweat so easily? It’s not summer now. Why does her hand feel so hot even though it’s such a cold day? She couldn’t possibly be coming down with a cold, right?

Yang Ming asked concerned when thought of this, “I see that your hand is quite warm. Are you coming down with a cold?”

He did this because he now had a better impression of Liu Huamei. Or else, let alone reminding her, he wouldn’t even care about her life or death.

Ah…a cold…,” Liu Huamei had also noticed that her hand was all sweaty and felt embarrassed. Why am I so nervous? It isn’t like I have never shaken hands with a man before. Why am I acting like a little girl? She then replied, “Probably a bit…”

“You’re sick, Sister Huamei?” Jing Xiaolu asked with concern after she heard Yang Ming and Liu Huamei’s conversation. “It’s no wonder. You’re worried sick about the company’s stuff these past few days. You’ll fall sick sooner or later.”

Even though Jing Xiaolu and Liu Huamei were jointly in charge of the Ming Jiang company, they were in different companies with different inner workings which only they knew. Even though the Ming Yang Group and the Jiangyan Group had forked out money to fill that gaping abyss created by the lost money, everyone could see the difference in the companies’ attitudes.

The Ming Yang Group had an indifferent attitude after they forked out the money. Yang Ming didn’t plan to hound Jing Xiaolu for anything. Since Yang Ming had already taken this stance, who under him would dare to create trouble? Bao Sanli or Hou Zhenhan? Neither of them had such guts.

However, Liu Huamei was in a different situation. The Jiangyan Group had also forked out some money, but their attitude left much to desire. Even though Liu HUamie received the money, Liu Zhenan’s fake smile and her grandpa’s coldness made her feel frustrated. She felt like she was abandoned by the Liu Family.

“It’s nothing,” Liu Huamei shook her head. Jing Xiaolu had really guessed wrongly this time. Liu Huamei’s anxiety was only due to Sun Jie’s joke. “Let’s look at the clues, shall we?”

“Right, I almost forgot about the main business,” Jing Xiaolu clapped her forehead and handed the fax document to Liu Huamei. “The story goes like this… Ugh…can I say it?”

Jing Xiaolu suddenly remembered about the “mysterious organization of special agents” Yang Ming spoke about earlier. This was probably something that should be kept under wraps. That was why Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming halfway through to seek his opinion.

“Tell it to her briefly,” Yang Ming nodded, but he hinted that Jing Xiaolu should make it simple. She should omit anything that must be omitted.

Jing Xiaolu naturally understood what Yang Ming meant and nodded slightly in understanding. He then began her story to Liu Huamei, “Sister Huamei, Liu Xiaolei is already dead.”

“What!? Liu Xiaolei’s dead?” Liu Huamei’s displayed a similar shocked reaction to JIng Xiaolu after hearing about this news.

“Yes, he’s dead. His corpse was found on Bianhai City’s pier,” Jing Xiaolu didn’t doubt Yang Ming’s words at all. If Yang Ming said that he was dead, then he definitely was dead.

“How is this possible?” Liu Huamei widened her eyes. “How did Liu Xiaolei die?”

“Naturally, he was murdered,” said Jing Xiaolu. “Yang Ming has a friend inside the Bianhai City Police Department. He knew about this news earlier.”

“I know some people inside the police department too. How come I didn’t receive any news?” Liu Huamei still felt perplexed. The Jiangyan Group had also invested in Bianhai City Escort Company, so they also had a great relationship with Bianhai City’s Police Department. However, Liu Huamei didn’t receive any news at all. That was why she was suspecting the authenticity of the whole matter.

“The news has been locked down. It’s normal if you didn’t receive the news on your side,” Yang Ming knew that he must speak up at this moment. Jing Xiaolu wouldn’t be able to explain it. “My friend’s identity is a bit special. He’s the local underworld boss for Bianhai City’s pier. He’s the one Liu Xiaolei sought out when he was trying to smuggle out. That’s why I received the news.”

“So that’s how it is!” Liu Huamei could only choose to believe Yang Ming when she heard him saying these words. “So he wanted to smuggle out of the country.”

“Yes. There was another man with him when he was smuggling out. That’s the guy on the fax document’s drawing,” said Jing Xiaolu. “He is the one who killed Liu Xiaolei and dumped his body into the sea.”

Oh? So that means that friend of Mr. Yang saw the murder himself then? Why didn’t he call the cops?” Liu Huamei had to speak when she heard that. “Wouldn’t we have a much smaller if he called the cops back then?”

Jing Xiaolu was half amused and half annoyed by Liu Huamei’s words. “Oh, Sister Huamei, can you not idealize the situation so much? Yang Ming’s friend is a local underworld boss. He’s in the smuggling business. It’s normal for smugglers to kill each other. How can he call the police? Are you saying that he should say ‘I helped someone smuggle out, and one of them murdered the other’? Who would be the first to get arrested by the cops then?”

“Ugh…” Liu Huamei’s face reddened. She usually didn’t come into contact with people at this level, so she couldn’t help but idealize some things. She only knew that her question sounded silly after Jing Xiaolu explained it.

Yang Ming didn’t laugh at what Liu Huamei said. After all, this so-called genius young lady wouldn’t know everything. She must have a weakness. A young lady like her who was born and raised in a noble family couldn’t possibly come into contact with that level of people. Naturally, she would not know about the rules of their society.

“Okay, Miss Liu. I believe that you now know about the nature of my friend’s work,” Yang Ming said smilingly. “You wouldn’t be able to come into contact with this kind of dirty work. He didn’t know about Liu Xiaolei’s identity either at first. He only remembered after I called him. Now, take a look at this portrait. This is the person who shot Liu Xiaolei to death. Do you know him? Is he someone from the Jiangyan Group?”

“Okay, let me take a look…,” Liu Huamei blushed. She was called a genius young girl by many people, but she looked like an ignorant young girl in front of Yang Ming. This made Liu Huamei feel quite embarrassed.

Chapter 1750: Transfer of Shares

It was fortunate that Yang Ming was understanding and didn’t pursue it further. This made Liu Huamei feel slightly better. However, she also decided that she would try her hardest to learn about these types of things after she goes back this time. She couldn’t let anyone laugh at her like this again.

However, Liu Huamei was indeed a noble young lady. She was even a Chief Financial Officer for a time and was in a high position. She forgot about the awkwardness earlier and resumed her elegance.

“Mr. Yang, I can tell you for sure that this person isn’t part of the Jiangyan Group’s staff. At least not part of the top staff,” said Liu Huamei. “After all, the Jiangyan Group’s staff members number in the thousands. It’s impossible for me to know each and every one, but he’s absolutely not someone from the group’s headquarters.”

Oh? Sister Huamei, don’t you think that this person looks a little familiar?” Jing Xiaolu asked incredulously when she heard Liu Huamei say that. Even she thought that the guy looked familiar, so why didn’t Liu Huamei feel the same way?

“Looks familiar?” Liu Huamei frowned and looked at the portrait carefully for a long while. She still shook her head. “He doesn’t look familiar to me. I really haven’t seen him before.”

“Isn’t this guy someone beside Liu Zhenan?” Jing Xiaolu felt crestfallen when Liu Huamei said that. Am I wrong? However, she still clung to some hope and asked.

“Except for Liu Jifei, I haven’t seen anyone else in my elder brother’s circle.” Liu Huamei shook her head again. “But my guess is that most things were done by Liu Jifei on my elder brother’s orders. Even if this guy is related to my elder brother, it’s probably through Liu Jifei. They wouldn’t have come into contact openly.”

“Ah!” Jing Xiaolu suddenly gasped. She slapped her forehead and said overjoyed, “I remember now. I know who this guy is!”

“What? Xiaolu, you know who this guy is already?” Yang Ming and Liu Huamei looked at Jing Xiaolu in shock and asked in unison.

Liu Huamei and Yang Ming were stunned and looked at each other after they finished. They smiled knowingly at each other. Both of them actually said the same thing at the same time. It was quite the coincidence.

“Sister Huamei, I remembered him after you reminded me just now. This guy is one of Liu Jifei’s men. I have seen him before!” Jing Xiaolu turned around and looked at Yang Ming after she finished. “Yang Ming, you should have seen him before too. It was during that night when Liu Jifei brought someone to find trouble with me in school…”

Oh, you’re talking about that Li Zhan!” Yang Ming suddenly remembered this person. He was provoking Yang Ming at that time. Yang Ming didn’t go out of his way to remember such a small fry though. However, Yang Ming instantly remembered after Jing Xiaolu reminded him.

“Yes, he’s called Li Zhan. I remember him now too. Liu Jifei called him by this name at that time,” Jing Xiaolu nodded and said sternly. “So that means Liu Zhenan is really the mastermind behind this whole thing then?”

Jing Xiaolu turned around to look at Liu Huamei after she finished, but she saw Liu Huamei sitting there absentmindedly. She asked hurriedly, “Are you okay, Sister Huamei?”

“I’m fine…” Liu Huamei recovered and sighed. She did suspect her elder brother Liu Zhenan was involved in this matter, but a conjecture and a proven case are two different things.

Even though the siblings weren’t actually duking it out, they were always at odds. However, they didn’t do anything too outrageous.

However, Liu Zhenan actually went so far as to hire a killer this time to harm her. He had already lost all of his humanity and had changed into a demon.

“Miss Liu. This concerns your family matters. I can’t say much about it. I hope that you can handle it appropriately,” Yang Ming originally wanted to find trouble with Liu Zhenan directly. Destroying one little Liu Zhenan was only a snap of a finger for Yang Ming. It wouldn’t be hard for Yang Ming even if he wanted to destroy the whole Jiangyan Group.

However, Yang Ming still decided that it was wise for Liu Huamei to handle this herself when he considered her feelings and pride. He was an outsider after all.

“Thank you…I understand…” Liu Huamei wasn’t stupid. “Don’t worry, Mr. Yang. I will be responsible for all the losses if I can prove that it’s done by my big brother. I won’t trouble the company.”

“Don’t be shy to ask for help if you need it. I can more or less provide it,” Yang Ming’s impression of Liu Huamei got significantly better when he saw her being so responsible.

“Alright, thank you so much then,” Liu Huamei nodded to Yang Ming. Even though she said that with a smile, everyone could see her bitterness.

Every family has its own problems. Nobody would feel good upon knowing they were harmed by their cousin. Yang Ming didn’t keep her for too long. “Since we have verified this guy’s identity, I won’t trouble Miss Liu by keeping you here. I believe that Miss Liu has more important things to do. Let’s have lunch someday. It will be my treat.”

“It should be my treat,” said Liu Huamei. “But what Mr. Yang said is correct I do need to return to Jiangyan City today. Xiaolu, I’ll leave the company in your hands.”

“No problem, Sister Huamei. You take care of your business first,” Jing Xiaolu nodded in agreement.

Jing Xiaolu closed the door again after sending Liu Huamei off. However, Yang Ming felt embarrassed to hold Jing Xiaolu’s hand again. The earlier ambiguous atmosphere had already been ruined.

“Xiaolu, what do you think of this case?” Yang Ming decided to ask Jing Xiaolu’s opinion on how to handle this matter. After all, Yang Ming didn’t want to interfere too much now that he had handed over all the dealings for the Ming Jiang Escort Company to Jing Xiaolu.

“I wanted to find the evidence and hand it over to the cops in the beginning,” said Jing Xiaolu. “But Sister Huamei is involved in this mess. It’s not very kind of me to be so merciless. After all, Liu Zhenan is Sister Huamei’s cousin. So I want to hand over the right to decide to Sister Huamei.”

“Okay then. You’re calling the shots in this company now. It’s okay for you to decide,” Yang Ming nodded. Yang Ming didn’t want to involve himself in annoying matters like this in his final hours. The right thing to do was to accompany his family.

“Thank you…,” Jing Xiaolu blushed. Her heart leaped with joy because of Yang Ming’s trust in letting her do what she wanted.

“Don’t mention it…” Yang Ming sighed. “Xiaolu, I’ll transfer some of the Ming Yang Group’s shares to your name in a few days…”

“Transfer to my name?” Jing Xiaolu first felt overjoyed upon hearing Yang Ming’s words, but she then felt that something was wrong. “Why do you want to transfer them to my name?”

“It’s nothing. I just felt like doing it. Don’t think too much about it,” Yang Ming faked a relaxed smile. “Why? You don’t want them?”

“I want them. Of course I want them. Why wouldn’t I want them!” Jing Xiaolu quickly agreed when she saw Yang Ming looking all relaxed as if nothing had happened.

Yang Ming transferring the shares to her was a great thing. How could she say no? But she still inexplicably felt that something was wrong deep inside her heart. However, her euphoria pushed that sense of dread down.

Yang Ming did not decide to transfer some of the shares to Jing Xiaolu on a whim. It was already planned long ago.

Even though Jing Xiaolu wasn’t his woman, their relationship was ambiguous. It could be said that they had a mutual affection. That was why Yang Ming didn’t plan to treat her poorly. Before Yang Ming traveled to Yunnan, he would transfer the bulk of the shares of Ming Yang Entertainment and Ming Yang Security to Jing Xiaolu. He would split the remaining part in half and transfer them to Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan.
