I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 123 Breakthrough

Upon hearing that Shen Qingrou had recovered another 50 million, Shen Qianfeng couldn't stop smiling.

However, Shen Qingrou directly applied for the funds and used them to purchase building materials for the Qingyuan Mountain project.

Shen Qianfeng did not object. This was unexpected wealth, and he would not object even if Shen Qingrou used it to squander.

Shen Qingrou then asked Du Miaowei to take Ye Cheng to a building materials supplier. Now that the Chen Group has encountered such a big problem, Ye Cheng is willing to buy their building materials with full payment.

Those building material suppliers decisively abandoned the Chen Group in the face of money and sold their building materials to Ye Cheng.

The crisis at the Qingyuan Mountain project has been averted.

At dusk, Ye Cheng took out his phone and called Secretary Wei.

"Mr. Ye, is there something you need?" Secretary Wei's voice was calm, seemingly unaffected by the Qingyuan Mountain project.

Ye Cheng said gratefully, "Secretary Wei, thank you for helping me successfully purchase the building materials needed for the project."

Secretary Wei was taken aback. He hadn't done anything to deserve this credit; he had just inadvertently let slip that he was the official person in charge of the Qingyuan Mountain project.

Recently, many material suppliers have indeed secretly offered him benefits in hopes of getting him involved in this project.

He accepted the benefits but didn't do anything or make any promises.

Anyway, all the material suppliers are contacted by the Shen Group.

In order to maintain a refined image in front of Ye Cheng, he did not intend to show favoritism to any material supplier for the time being.

He learned the reason why the material suppliers suddenly stopped supplying goods yesterday, but he didn't rush into the situation. He did nothing and just watched from the sidelines.

Ye Cheng's phone call seemed rather inexplicable, and he suspected that some material suppliers might have leaked information about him.

This was merely Ye Cheng's test; he didn't believe the materials supplier wouldn't offer Secretary Wei some benefits.

Secretary Wei, wanting to know Ye Cheng's purpose, chose to retreat tactically: "I cannot accept a reward without merit. Mr. Ye's thanks are quite perplexing to me."

Ye Cheng sensed the probing in Secretary Wei's tone and continued to express his gratitude in a vague manner: "This morning, those material suppliers suddenly stopped supplying goods for no apparent reason, but in just one day, they resumed normal supply."

Secretary Wei is in charge of this project. If it weren't for your quiet dedication behind the scenes, those material suppliers wouldn't have readily agreed.

Secretary Wei suddenly found Ye Cheng quite interesting; this was an unwarranted compliment.

But he didn't understand Ye Cheng's intention in doing so.

A deliberate test?

Why deliberately test him?

They had no past grievances or recent feuds.

I want to build a closer relationship with him so that he can step in and handle things if we encounter similar situations in the future.

But when something like that really happens, there's nothing he can do.

He was just a secretary to the district head of the East District. When it came to the power struggles between large corporations, a nobody like him couldn't make any difference.

"That kid Ye Cheng can't possibly not understand this, can he?"

Or is it that he's not deeply involved and has unrealistic expectations for my position?

In an instant, all sorts of guesses flooded Secretary Wei's mind.

In the end, he felt that Ye Cheng was doing this to find a reason to curry favor with him.

This project was planned by Ye Cheng, and it almost got forced to stop today.

Ye Cheng didn't want to become the target of everyone's criticism, so he had to secretly win over allies. Fortunately, someone helped him out at the crucial moment.

Even if we don't help him up, we shouldn't kick him when he's down.

Secretary Wei understood this, and a smile crept onto his lips. He thought to himself: It seems this kid isn't well-liked in the Shen Group.

"How could I possibly change the minds of these material suppliers..."

"Secretary Wei is too modest. I understand. Everything is understood without words. Just watch my performance."

"I understand even less of what Mr. Ye is saying..."

"Secretary Wei, do you have time to go to the library to read tonight?"

I think I need to recharge myself.

Secretary Wei was slightly taken aback. Some things require more interaction to uncover their secrets.

So Secretary Wei didn't refuse: "Okay, then see you at the library tonight. I'll recommend some good books to you."

Ye Cheng stopped there, not trying to get any closer, and after agreeing on a meeting place at a library, he hung up the phone.

Shen Qingrou looked at Ye Cheng and asked, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly decide to try to win over Secretary Wei?"

Ye Cheng put away his phone: "To deal with the city lord, Gray Tower alone is not enough."

We still need a striker.

Shen Qingrou asked in surprise, "You don't mean to send Secretary Wei to the front lines, do you?!"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "How could someone who hides his face and keeps a low profile possibly charge into battle?"

In the entire city of Hedong, there was only one person who dared to charge into battle for justice.

Shen Qingrou suddenly realized: "District Chief Xu!"

Ye Cheng nodded: "If we want District Chief Xu to take the lead, we must first eliminate the evil spirits lurking around us."

Shen Qingrou was shocked: "You're going to lay a hand on Secretary Wei?!"

Ye Cheng looked towards the eastern district of Hedong City: "If we don't show some sincerity, how can we expect District Chief Xu to be willing to be at our beck and call?"

The district chief's wife has suffered so much; it's time to find the real culprit.

Secretary Wei is a breakthrough point.

Shen Qingrou's expression grew serious: "I feel like things are getting more and more complicated."

I discovered that the old man Chen who was following Chen Jinrong was no ordinary person.

Despite being older than Chen Jinrong, I think he's quite dangerous.

Being easily defeated by you only makes you stronger.

But that General Chen gave off a strong sense of crisis; you always felt he was very capable.

Ye Cheng didn't know where Shen Qingrou got this feeling from, but it was quite accurate.

"You have a keen sense of danger."

Old Chen mentioned the mountain.

I don't understand what he means by "from the mountain".

And your stepmother also knows martial arts, so could the power behind her also come from the mountains?

If it's proven that your stepmother also comes from this mountain, then what kind of power is on this mountain?

Things are indeed getting more and more complicated.

Shen Qingrou grabbed Ye Cheng's hand: "It's too dangerous, don't take the risk!"

Ye Chengdao said, "It is precisely because of the danger that we must eliminate the hidden dangers little by little."

As you can see, they are too weak and are no match for me at all.

I have a lot to do and I won't put myself in danger.

Trust me, okay? "

Shen Qingrou stated, "I believe in you, I have always believed in you."

But there are too many uncertainties. Even though I believe in your abilities, I don't want you to take the risk!

Ye Cheng pulled Shen Qingrou into his arms: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

"Call Lord Wan now."

Shen Qingrou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, knowing that some things shouldn't be abandoned just because there's danger.

She released Ye Cheng's embrace, sat down in front of the laptop, opened a software program, and simulated a fake network address.

"Okay."

Ye Cheng plugged a satellite phone into his laptop and then dialed Wan Xinghuai's private cell phone number.

At this moment, Wan Xinghuai was talking to Chen Jinrong in the city lord's detention center.

Li Zhanyue's situation baffled him. Enemies lurking in the shadows are the most dangerous, and he needed to get more useful information from Chen Jinrong.

Otherwise, he would be unable to eat or sleep properly.

The phone rang, and seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Wan Xinghuai frowned.
