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

Chapter 104 Heading to the Cheng Group

Ye Cheng and Xu Menghao agreed on a meeting place, and then Ye Cheng hung up the phone.

The reason he made this call from outside was that he didn't want Shen Qingrou to worry.

After all, Shen Qingrou was strongly against him contacting the Gray Tower.

He didn't stay outside for long; after hanging up the phone, he returned to his office.

Shen Qingrou gave Ye Cheng a strange look, feeling that he was hiding something from her. She couldn't ask in front of Du Miaowei, so she changed the subject and said, "The Shen Group has a lot of external accounts. Since you're so good at collecting debts, why don't you go and collect them?"

Ye Cheng readily agreed: "Sure, tell me about any thorny old issues you have, and I'll take care of them."

Shen Qingrou opened her laptop and used her access permissions to check.

"Huh..." she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Cheng and Du Miaowei both looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Shen Qingrou looked up at Ye Cheng: "There is actually a debt between the Shen Group and the Cheng Group."

Ye Cheng seemed unsurprised: "There's nothing strange about this. The two groups have cooperated before, so it's normal to have debts."

How much money does the Cheng Group owe the Shen Group?

Shen Qingrou said, "It's more than what Zhan Yue Company owes, fifty million!"

Even Ye Cheng felt strange: "How could there be so many? Why didn't the chairman let me go to Cheng's Group to collect the debts, but instead chose Zhan Yue Company first?"

Shen Qingrou said, "Because the Shen Group also owes the Cheng Group 30 million."

On the surface, it seems that the Cheng Group owes us 20 million, but when it comes to arguing about this, everyone has their own version of the truth.

This debt is a complete mess; we can't get it back at all.

Ye Cheng said, "I want to use the pretext of collecting debts to make contact with people from the Cheng Group."

Before Shen Qingrou could speak, Du Miaowei advised her to give up, saying, "Given the feud between the two groups, we might not be able to get past their threshold."

Ye Cheng said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

Shen Qingrou also said, "Why bother testing him with something that's just asking for trouble? Let's not go."

Besides, at this critical juncture, if you go, they'll think we're showing weakness, and they'll definitely put on a show of force and try to control you.

Ye Cheng said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of them manipulating me. If I can meet with their higher-ups, I will reason with them and appeal to their emotions to ask them to let us off the hook."

Shen Qingrou understood Ye Cheng's meaning: "You plan to negotiate peace?"

"Hopefully they won't make things difficult for us regarding the Qingyuan Mountain project?"

Ye Cheng nodded.

Shen Qingrou said, "What's the point of asking them to be lenient? The culprit behind the Qingyuan Mountain project is the Chen Group."

Even if the Cheng Group were involved, its role would be limited.

With or without them, there's basically no difference.

Ye Cheng replied, "You understand the principle, but the Cheng Group may not. I just hope they can see this point."

Their actions of kicking someone when they're down won't have much effect; on the contrary, they'll only make the Shen Group resentful.

The Shen Group can't deal with the Chen Group right now, but dealing with the Cheng Group shouldn't be a problem.

A clash between two powerful forces will inevitably result in mutual destruction, and in the end, the Chen Group will be the one to benefit.

Shen Qingrou said with an unnatural expression, "To be honest, honey, the Qingyuan Mountain project won't shake the foundation of the Shen family. The Shen Group won't fight to the death with the Cheng Group over this one project. I believe the people from the Cheng family can understand this."

Ye Cheng naturally understood this as well, but he had his own plans: "The Shen Group will not fight the Cheng Group to the death, but I will fight the Cheng Group to the death."

"I'll take this opportunity to show them how capable I am."

Shen Qingrou asked in surprise, "Are you going to use your flying needles to hurt someone again?"

Ye Cheng smiled slightly: "Don't forget that my flying needles can not only hurt people, but also save them."

I simply don't believe that all of Cheng's top executives are in good health.

Shen Qingrou seemed to be deep in thought.

Du Miaowei also fell into thought.

In the end, Shen Qingrou agreed to Ye Cheng's request and let Du Miaowei drive to Cheng's Group.

In the car, Du Miaowei asked Ye Cheng, "Brother Ye, do you know anything about the senior management of Cheng's Group?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "I haven't paid much attention to it. I'll go online and look it up now to get a general understanding."

Du Miaowei said, "There's no need for that. As Shen Group's old rival, Cheng Group's management is familiar with each other."

"What do you want to know? Let me see if I have any relevant information in my memory."

Ye Cheng asked, "If we go to collect a debt, who do you think will receive us?"

Du Miaowei said, "It's definitely public relations, and then there's the finance department."

"Who is the most trusted executive in Cheng Xiufang's life?"

"Cheng Group President Gao Xingye is an effeminate man, but he is very capable."

Our levels aren't high enough; it's almost impossible for us to meet directly with the president of a corporation.

Even discussing business is impossible.

Unless it's a business worth billions.

Ye Cheng said, "Our CEO Shen has two assistants, so Gao Xingye must have an assistant, right?"

Du Miaowei suddenly realized: "So we need to find a way to meet Gao Xingye's assistant this time, is that right?"

Ye Cheng praised, "You're really smart; you understand immediately."

Du Miaowei said embarrassedly, "What do you mean I'm smart? I couldn't even think of something this simple. I had to be reminded by Brother Ye step by step."

The two drove directly to the Cheng's Building, and Du Miaowei pushed Ye Cheng inside.

With fame comes trouble. The receptionist in the lobby recognized Ye Cheng. Just as she was wondering why Ye Cheng was there, Du Miaowei pushed Ye Cheng straight over.

The receptionist looked at Ye Cheng in surprise as he approached, and before he could ask, she greeted him, "Mr. Ye, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ye Cheng was taken aback: "You know me?"

The receptionist gave a professional smile: "Mr. Ye is an internet celebrity. You can see things about him on your phone anytime you browse your phone. Of course I would recognize him."

Well, there was no way to hide his identity anymore, so Ye Cheng had no choice but to say, "I'm here to see President Gao to discuss some things."

The receptionist asked sweetly, "Does Mr. Ye have an appointment?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "Could you please help me make a contact?"

The receptionist immediately agreed, "Of course, I'll ask Mr. Ye right now."

She had just picked up her phone when a disdainful voice came through: "Oh, look who this is! How dare a gigolo show his face here!"

Upon hearing the voice, the receptionist's face flashed with displeasure, but she still greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Wu."

The person who arrived was Wu Hao.

Ye Cheng and Du Miaowei looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wu Hao leading two assistants, with Liu Yue, who was dressed fashionably, wearing sunglasses and a headscarf, by his side.

The four of them walked over here.

Liu Yue glanced at Ye Cheng once, then her eyes shifted to Du Miaowei.

She was furious. Why were beautiful women always around Ye Cheng after she left him?

It's one thing if she can't compare to Shen Qingrou, but she can't even compare to Du Miaowei.

Du Miaowei's beauty far surpasses hers.

"Ye Cheng, who are you hooking up with this time?" Liu Yue asked sourly.

Before Ye Cheng could speak, Liu Yue retorted rudely, "Ms. Liu, please watch your words."

Mr. Ye and I are colleagues.

Wu Hao put his arm around Liu Yue, looked at Du Miaowei with amusement, and said, "Yue'er, this is Ms. Du Miaowei, Shen Qingrou's assistant."
